890 A Storm Was Coming (1/2)

”How many people came out of the valley?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

”A total of seven people,” Xu Xinyuan said. ”As far as I know, he might not be telling me the truth.”

”Are those seven people also good at using poisons and drugs?” Guo Zhenghe took a sip of tea.

”They should understand a little.”

”Uncle Xu, do you think there is a possibility that they have taken revenge against Miao Xihe, the current patriarch of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but they have no ability to deal directly with him so they thought of another way?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

”Another way? What do you mean? Are you saying they are framing him?” Xu Xinyuan asked.

”Yes, they framed him to get him into trouble,” Guo Zhenghe said with half-shut eyes.

Xu Xinyuan began to seriously think about it.

It was possible, and the possibility was extremely great. He had been to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. On the surface, it seemed to be just a small village like a paradise, but the layout inside was very sophisticated. There were also masters there, including kung fu masters and poison masters. These were tricky people. It was easy for people outside to get in, but it was difficult to get out. Even if those who escaped were from the village and familiar with the contents, they were only a handful of people. There were more than a hundred people in the village, so they didn't have enough people to handle it.

”Yes, you are right. It's possible, and the possibility is very high,” Xu Xinyuan said.

”This is... Why did that happen in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?”

”I don't know. It's just a guess,” Guo Zhenghe said after taking a sip of tea.

”What should we do now?”

”We should do nothing for now. We will just wait and see what happens.”

”OK, we will wait and see,” Guo Zhenghe said. Xu Xinyuan also felt that this matter was not as simple as what he imagined, especially after he came into contact with those who had escaped from the valley. Those people were not as ”simple” as they looked.

That's all we can do!

”Uncle Xu, I am afraid you have to wait if you still want to revenge,” Guo Zhenghe said.

”Ah, I can wait.” He was ruthless, but he was able to calm down. Once when he wanted to kill a person for revenge, he watched the enemy going about their daily business every day with a cheerful and happy look on his face. After about a year, he ensured the person died very painfully. He cut him into pieces while he was alive.

That's good! That's good! Guo Zhenghe thought.

He was afraid that if Uncle Xu couldn't resist his bad mood and had a bad temper, he would have to avenge himself. That would provoke the anger of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. By then, he would not get any profit. Instead, he would suffer a lot of loss. It would also cause endless annoyance, which was extremely irrational and stupid behavior.

”Gather as much information about those people as possible during this time,” Guo Zhenghe said. ”You may be able to use it in the future.”

”Oh, OK, Childe.”

Guo Zhenghe originally thought that this matter had come to an end. Very soon, something else happened.

Three people died. The inexplicable deaths were again caused by poison, which was similar to the previous poisonings.

Damn it!

After hearing this news, Guo Zhenghe broke the teacup in his hand.

”Damn those bastards!” Yang Guanfeng smoked five cigarettes after hearing the news.

”Who is it?”

More than one person was asking that question.

This case had aroused significant attention from county leaders.

In a small county, 19 people had abnormally died in less than a month, which was already a major case.

”I am very concerned about this matter!”

The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the mayor specifically talked to Guo Zhenghe.

This was in part because of his background. If it happened to another person, he would have likely been fired straight away. What kind of leadership was considered a qualified leader? It was not how great the economic data was. First, it was based on stability and maintain that stability. If he could not even achieve the most basic stability in the place, the management was incompetent and unqualified. The leader would consider replacing him, which was also a stain on a person's political career.

What was unstable? It was simple. It was considered frequent incidents, such as environmental pollution, safety production accidents, vicious accidents, and what was happening in He County. In less than a month, many abnormal deaths happened, which was considered frequent.

He needed to explain to his leaders, which was urgent.

People in this small county town were all worried about it. There had been many versions of the story.

”Boss, what did the leader say?”
