My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 695 695: Can't Stand By and Do Nothing!

"Offering incense at the dragon head? What's happening?"

"Is it a local cultural tradition?"

Xiao Yiyi blinked her eyes, staring blankly at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and said with a bitter smile, "I'm not a local, how would I know."

"Just ask Uncle Wang and his son, and you'll know," Yang Leshan said, waving her hand.

Just then, Wang Yunping came over to invite them to eat, "Brother Chen, Miss Yang, Miss Xiao, the food is ready, come with me to eat."

"It's really not necessary, troubling you to host us again." Chen Xuan stood up, smiling.

"It's only right, you are great benefactors to our family, we must treat you well."

Wang Yunping extended the invitation with a cheerful smile.

Chen Xuan and the others followed Wang Yunping to their small courtyard.

"Brother Chen, although these dishes aren't high-class, they are all our local specialties."

"Free-range chicken, freshly dug bamboo shoots, wild mountain vegetables, all pure natural green food."

Wang Yunping said with a smile.

"Green food is great, no preservatives or additives," Xiao Yiyi immediately replied with a smile.

"Yes, absolutely healthy," Wang Yunping smiled broadly.

At this moment, the old Wang carried out a batch of wine, "Little Chen, this is homemade rice wine, see if you like the taste."

"You're too kind, Uncle," Chen Xuan reached out to take the wine jar.

"Brother Chen, let me do it, you are our esteemed guest."

Wang Yunping took the wine jar and poured a bowl for Chen Xuan, Yang Leshan, and Xiao Yiyi.

"This is rice wine, with a sweet aroma of glutinous rice, not very strong."

Wang Yunping explained to Yang Leshan and Xiao Yiyi with a smile.

"Let me taste it." Xiao Yiyi took a sip and praised, "The taste is indeed nice!"

"If you like it, you can take a couple of jars with you when you leave."

Wang Yunping said with a big smile, "In the future, I'll regularly mail these local specialties to you, haha."

"No need to mail them specially," Yang Leshan replied with a smile, "when the Sea Anemone ripens and is harvested, you can come with the transport truck and visit us."

"That works, let's do as Miss Yang says, hahaha," Wang Yunping nodded with a laugh.

"By the way, I heard some villagers talking about how Widow Liu will go to offer incense at the dragon head tomorrow, what's going on?" Xiao Yiyi quickly asked.

Alas!

The old Wang sighed lightly, "It's a measure of last resort."

The expressions of Chen Xuan and the others changed slightly, could there be some little-known reason behind it?

"Offering incense at the dragon head is a custom passed down by our ancestors."

"It is said to be for those with an earth-shattering injustice and nowhere to appeal."

"If they can successfully offer incense at the dragon head, it means gaining the Dragon King's approval, and the local County Magistrate must re-investigate the case to clear the victim's name."

The old Wang slowly recounted the origin of the dragon head incense.

It is a dragon head sculpture carved on a thousand-meter cliff.

Those who want to offer incense must walk barefoot across a narrow path of several tens of meters, with both sides completely suspended.

A slight mishap could lead to falling off the cliff and dying.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "Uncle, it's already this era, why does Widow Liu still believe in this?"

"Isn't it a desperate choice?" the old Wang sighed, "It has to do with her husband's car accident three years ago."

According to the old Wang, Chen Xuan and the others learned the truth about the incident.

It turned out that Widow Liu's husband, Li Ke, was driving for a company boss three years ago.

At a dinner, the boss drank too much, and Li Ke drove the boss back.

But the boss complained that Li Ke drove too slowly, and in a drunken fit, insisted on driving himself.

He made Li Ke sit in the passenger seat, and drove after drinking.

As a result, there was an accident midway, not only hitting and killing someone but also colliding with another car.

The boss got injured, his head bleeding, but his life was not in danger.

But Li Ke, sitting in the passenger seat, was not so lucky; he was thrown out because he wasn't wearing a seat belt, his head hit the ground, and he died instantly.

The old Wang sighed, "Logically, the whole accident was the responsibility of that big boss, but he was scared sober."

"He quickly dragged Li Ke into the driver's seat, and sat in the passenger seat, pretending to be the victim."

"In the end, it was concluded that Li Ke was the one at fault and the case was closed."

"This is bullying! Wasn't there a detailed investigation?" Yang Leshan said indignantly.

The old Wang smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "That big boss has money and power, he bribed several witnesses."

"They all said it was Li Ke driving carelessly, hitting someone, and in a panic, hitting another car."

"Even the other car owner testified it was Li Ke driving. With that, Li Ke died without evidence to prove otherwise, and the big boss became the victim."

"Widow Liu heard a bit of the truth from outsiders, which is why she kept suing that big boss, seeking justice for her deceased husband."

"Unfortunately, she couldn't find any favorable evidence, making it very difficult to overturn the case. She had no choice but to follow this path, hoping heaven would open its eyes and clear her husband's name."

Chen Xuan was secretly angry, Widow Liu is just an ordinary member of society, and that powerful boss turned black into white, oppressing the lower classes and getting away unpunished.

"Tomorrow, we'll go take a look; we can't let a tragedy happen right under our noses!" Chen Xuan said determinedly.

Since they encountered this, he couldn't not intervene!

He couldn't stand such utterly heartless bosses exploiting and oppressing the lower classes!
