He sneered after seeing the information, "Nonsense! Utter rubbish! That Li Jianming definitely didn't become mute because of illness, and whether he's crazy is also questionable."

"Chen Xiao, what makes you say that? This information comes from the government!"

Luo Qian wasn't questioning Chen Xiao, she was just confused.

Chen Xiao said calmly, "Didn't you all notice? The reason he became mute is that someone cut off his tongue. That alone is enough to explain the problem!"

"Explain what?"

Luo Qian asked, puzzled.

Chen Xiao didn't bother to explain, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go find Li the Mute now. I'm afraid it'll be too late if we wait!"

After speaking, Chen Xiao walked towards the Chen family's gate.

"Chen Xiao, where are you going to find Li the Mute?"

"The ruined temple at the village entrance!"

"..."

Luo Qian then remembered that the village chief Chen had said that Li the Mute lived in the ruined temple at the village entrance.

She was ashamed that she hadn't remembered it immediately!

The village was so small, and the ruined temple at the village entrance was easy to find.

After arriving at the ruined temple, Chen Xiao observed the surroundings and saw that no one had followed them.

This made him somewhat puzzled and disappointed. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?

The three of them stepped into the temple. As expected of a ruined temple, the interior was dilapidated. The statues of the gods were long gone, and spiderwebs filled the corners.

The ground was littered with broken pots and pans. Near the incense burner, a layer of cotton batting was piled up, and Li the Mute was lying on it, dozing off.

Li the Mute immediately woke up when he heard the footsteps. He turned his head and saw Song Zijian and the others, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

Chen Xiao saw that his eyes were clear and didn't look like a madman at all.

"Aba, Aba Aba, Aba Aba Aba Aba..."

Li the Mute spoke and gestured to the three of them, but they were all confused and couldn't understand what he was saying!

At this moment, Song Zijian had a flash of inspiration, "Li Jianming, can you write?"

When Li Jianming heard Song Zijian actually call out his name, tears immediately fell down.

He nodded desperately, tears streaming down his face like beef noodles.

Song Zijian instructed Luo Qian, "Qian Qian, quickly find paper and a pen."

Luo Qian immediately walked out to buy paper and a pen from the village store.

However, Chen Xiao stopped her.

"Miss Luo, there's no need to bother!"

Luo Qian was slightly stunned, "You have them with you?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and then took out silver needles.

"I don't have paper and a pen, but I have this!"

When Luo Qian saw the silver needles, she suddenly understood.

"Oh~~ I understand, use silver needles to write on the ground, it can be used as a pen!"

Chen Xiao instantly rolled his eyes. This girl wasn't very smart, but her imagination was quite rich.

Chen Xiao came in front of Li Jianming with the silver needles.

"Don't be afraid..."

As he spoke, before Li Jianming could react, Chen Xiao inserted thirteen silver needles into the acupoints near Li Jianming's neck.

Luo Qian and Song Zijian were dumbfounded. What fast hand speed!

Li Jianming was also shocked and shouted in panic, "What are you doing!"

The next second, everyone except Chen Xiao was stunned.

Li the Mute actually spoke!

Luo Qian and Song Zijian looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. Could it be that Chen Xiao had cured Li Jianming's muteness with silver needles?

Chen Xiao explained calmly, "I used silver needles to stimulate Li Jianming's acupoints. He can speak temporarily now. Ask any questions quickly!"

Song Zijian stepped forward. Before he could speak, Li Jianming suddenly knelt in front of Song Zijian with a *thump*.

"Team Leader Song, you must seek justice for me!"

Song Zijian was stunned again, his expression dull and his face full of shock.

Because he discovered that Chen Xiao had guessed correctly again.

This Li Jianming could actually call out his name, so he was clearly not a madman.

He quickly helped Li Jianming up, not caring about the dirt on Li Jianming's body.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, speak slowly. What exactly is going on?"

Li Jianming started crying again, sobbing and wiping away his tears.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader Song, I'm too excited. Three years, a full three years... The Chen family deserves to die!"

As Li Jianming spoke, he gritted his teeth, and the hatred and anger in his eyes were almost tangible.

"Team Leader Song, the Chen family is to blame for Li Jianming becoming like this, neither human nor ghost!"

"And my dead wife and daughter, they didn't die of illness at all, they were all killed by the Chen family!"

"For so many years, I've been pretending to be crazy, just waiting for this day..."

Li Jianming became more and more excited as he spoke. It could be seen that he had endured too much humiliation for the past three years.

Just then, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the temple.

"Pretending to be crazy? Li Jianming, you were already a madman, why bother pretending?"

Immediately afterward, Village Chief Chen walked in with a gloomy face.

The ingratiating look he had before was gone, replaced by a cunning and sinister appearance.

He looked at Song Zijian and said coldly, "Team Leader Song, this person is a madman. You wouldn't believe what a madman says, would you?"

"Come on, drive that crazy Li out of the village! Our Bahu Pass Village can't tolerate this kind of traitorous dog!"

With this angry shout from Village Chief Chen, seven or eight strong young men rushed in from outside the temple, heading towards Li Jianming with great momentum.

Li Jianming was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he desperately hid behind.

Song Zijian blocked the young men and shouted angrily, "What do you want to do? All of you, step back!"

"Team Leader Song, what's going on with you? Can't you understand what I'm saying? This person is a madman. I'm going to take him away and drive him out of Bahu Pass Village. I hope Team Leader Song won't make things difficult for me!"

Village Chief Chen threatened with a sullen face.

Song Zijian said coldly, "Village Chief Chen, do you think I'm a fool? Before things are clarified, no one can take Li Jianming away in front of me!"

Village Chief Chen frowned, "Team Leader Song, as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. I really don't know how you climbed to your current position with such a lack of adaptability!"

"Village Chief Chen, what do you mean by that? Do you think you can rule the roost in this Bahu Pass Village!"

Although Song Zijian was still calm on the surface, he was greatly shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Village Chief Chen to be so bold that he even dared to threaten him!

Hearing Song Zijian's words, Village Chief Chen laughed sinisterly.

"Hehehe, Team Leader Song, you're right about that. I wouldn't dare say it anywhere else, but in Bahu Pass Village, I'm definitely in charge!"
