Eavesdropping

Wang Guizhi was an ordinary village woman who had married out of Wang Family Village.

A few days ago, when she returned to her parents' home, she heard that the village was looking for someone to plot against the high-profile Fishing Bay Fishery in Pinghai County. Her heart stirred, and she took on the job.

After all, her husband was known throughout the nearby villages for his skill in the water.

With her own village backing them up, Wang Guizhi believed that nothing could possibly go wrong.

Even if he were caught by the fishery's people, someone from Wang Family Village would step in and settle the matter.

Things rarely went in the best possible direction. The moment her husband entered the waters around Fishing Bay Island, patrol security spotted him. He and the equipment brought from Wang Family Village were both taken to the island.

Fortunately, her family back home had connections. Less than two days after her husband was taken in, he was released, and she had heard they would not even have to pay the fine themselves.

At that moment, Wang Guizhi was happily drinking with her husband in their courtyard, celebrating his safe return.

"How about it? My family is reliable, isn't it? I told you that even if something happened, they could get you out!"

Wang Guizhi took a sip of baijiu from the table and looked at her husband as though to say that he had better listen to her from now on.

"Why does this feel so strange to me?

"With the connections Wang Family Village has, there's no way they could have smoothed things over in Pinghai County so quickly, right?

"Could there be some trick behind this? We can't let your village use us as pawns."

Still shaken by the incident,
