Xiao Chengcai was not stupid.

On the contrary, he was very smart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone in to beat up his wife the moment she did something wrong to eam pity points.

Now, he knew that if he continued to speak, it would be an admission that he had sold out the Little Cattle King.

The village chief snorted coldly and said, “I’ll help you finish your sentence. You have clearly avoided the cameras, right? Hmph! Justice will always prevail. No matter how slick you think you are, there will always be a mistake somewhere.”

Xiao Chengcai couldn’t believe he had made a mistake. He said very firmly, “Village chief, you have to speak with evidence. How can you accuse me as you please? I won’t accept this!”

Seeing Xiao Cheng’s obstinate look, the village chief’s face turned red with anger.

He pointed at Xiao Chengcai and angrily said, “Do you want evidence? The tens of thousands Xiao Xiaobao found in your house is the best evidence.”

Xiao Chengcai’s heart thumped as he thought to himself. ‘I knew that would lead to trouble. But that is not strong evidence.

Xiao Chengcai sneered and said, “Village chief, so what if my family has money? I saved that money myself. How is that related to someone selling out the Little Cattle King? If what you say is true, then everyone who has money must have betrayed the Little Cattle King.”

‘When the village chief heard this, he didn’t get angry but laughed instead.

He said, “Xiao Chengeai, ah, Xiao Chengcai, why didn’t we know that you were so eloquent in the past?”

Xiao Chengcai said matter-of-factly, “Village chief, you have wrongly accused me. Of course, I have to speak up for myself. Or else you would have successfully put the blame on me.”

“So, you won’t admit it, right?” The village chief nodded and said, “You said you had saved that money. Then, let me ask you. How did you save the money? And how long have you been saving i

“I saved it bit by bit and for a long time.” Xiao Chengcai replied very carefully.

“How long is a long time?”

“More than ten years!” Xiao Chengcai said a number.

“So, you saved the money bit by bit for more than ten years.” The village chief nodded. Then, he changed the topic and asked sharply, “In that case, why is the money in stacks? And why are the notes all brand new? Please explain that to me.”

Hearing the village chief’s sharp question, Xiao Chengcai’s expression changed. He opened his mouth to explain, “Village chief, why can’t my money be in stacks and brand new? I saved them, and then I went to the bank to exchange for new notes.”

“Even now, you’re still lying!” The village chief was so angry that he almost wanted to give him two big slaps, “Yes, you could have gone to the bank to exchange for new notes. But when could you have done that? Every few years? Then, the notes could have been exchanged on different occasions. The

different stacks would have looked different depending on their time of exchange.

“However, all your bank notes look equally brand new.”

At this point, Xiao Chengcai wanted to defend himself, but the village chief waved his hand to stop him. “Yes, you could have saved the money and then exchanged them in one go recently. However, if you have saved up the money as you said for ten years, some of the notes would have gotten moldy

already. Some of the villagers who recently went to the bank to deposit their money could attest to that.

“No matter how well the notes are preserved, they will grow worms and become gray. With your mother’s personality, she would have complained to the whole village about the wasted money, and we would all have known! So where did your money come from?”

Xiao Chengcai opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain himself.

The village chief asked sharply again, “The evidence doesn’t match your explanation, so how are you going to explain it?”

The conversation between the village chief and Xiao Chengcai stunned the villagers. They knew the village chief made sense. They had first-hand experience.

Not too long ago, they had been to the bank to deposit their savings. As the village chief had said, the money had worms, mold, or ash.

“village chief, how do you know about this?” Someone asked in puzzlement.

village chief, if you knew this would happen, why didn’t you tell us earlier? My family has lost some savings to the mold and worms.”

“The village chief looked at the villagers and was a little speechless. Then, he sighed and said, “Xiao Lingyu only told me this a while ago.”

“It was Lingyu who told you?” Many people were surprised. “But why?”

Someone reacted and said loudly, “Is it because she knows that it was Xiao Chengcai who sold out the Little Cattle King?” This was the only explanation for why Xiao Lingyu would tell the village chief this. This was the flaw in Xiao Chengcai’s story!

Xiao Chengcai’s heart thumped. This was the thing he feared the most. He knew that when Xiao Xiaobao took the money out, it would arouse Xiao Lingyu’s suspicion.

However, he absolutely couldn’t admit it now. After all, they were only guessing.

Xiao Chengcai stubbornly said sharply, “Village chief, these are only your guesses. There’s no concrete evidence. It can only mean that I’m innocent.”

The Village Chief’s face was ashen. “It is true that the silent ones are the deadliest. You were so silent and honest in the past, but you’re the most vicious and ruthless person I know.”

Xiao Chengcai didn’t care about the insult. He stressed, “Village chief, if you say I have sold out the news of the Little Cattle King, then show me the evidence!”

“Uncle Chengcai, do you want evidence?” At this moment, a cold female voice sounded.

Xiao Lingyu walked in from outside.

Gong Tianhao followed by her side and supported her.

Wen Zi followed behind.

Wen Zi was holding a laptop in her hand.

‘When Xiao Chengcai saw Xiao Lingyu and the others come in with a laptop in their hands, his mind suddenly went blank.

Everyone in the village knew Xiao Lingyu very well.

She was a straightforward person who always had a goal in mind.

Since she brought the computer here today, it meant that there must be evidence in the computer.

At that moment, Xiao Chengcai’s heart was in a whirl. ‘I was very careful. There’s no way I would leave behind evidence.

Just as Xiao Chengcai was feeling anxious, Xiao Lingyu came up to him and asked coldly, “Uncle Chengcai, you want evidence, right? Fine, I’ll show you the evidence!”

After saying that, she turned to Wen Zi behind her and said, “Wen Zi, show him the evidence. Otherwise, Uncle Chengcai will think that village chief and I are working together to frame him!”

Because of his betrayal, he had brought her family so much trouble. How could she let him off so easily?

‘Wen Zi immediately showed the computer screen to everyone.

The villagers immediately ran up and surrounded the computer. They asked curiously, “Where is it? Where is the evidence?”

Wen Zi pointed to a place and said, “Although Uncle Cheng had avoided the surveillance cameras, he missed something. Everyone, take a look. What is this?”

A villager with sharp eyes said, “His pocket is bulging. What is it? Look! What is that sharp edge?”

“Money, it seems to be money!” Someone exclaimed.

“It’s money!” Someone immediately said with certainty.

“That’s why this pocket is bulging. It’s filled with money!” Someone immediately said.

“Why would he carry so much money?”

“Yes. Where did he find so much money all of sudden?” Someone asked.

“Yes. Uncle Chengcai, can you explain to everyone why you suddenly have so much money in your pocket?” Xiao Lingyu looked at Xiao Chengcai with a faint smile.

Xiao Chengcai’s face was livid, and he said to Xiao Lingyu angrily, “That’s my money. Why should I explain myself to you? Who do you think you are? A police officer?”

Xiao Lingyu said coldly and sharply, “Are you sure this is your money? And not the money you got from selling information about the Little Cattle King?”

Xiao Chengcai pursed his lips and did not speak..
