Chapter 287
Stephen and George frowned.
The audience was stunned.
“It’s such a large truck, but all that’s inside is a paper box?”
“Could there be a bomb inside?”
“Is someone trying to get revenge on the villagers?”
Everyone grew
anxious.
Stephen shouted, “Everyone, step back! I have a bad feeling about that box.”
However, the village chief noticed the truck’s license plate.
It was the same one used by his late wife’s food delivery team that many villages including his children had joined!
His body began to tremble, and a thought surfaced in his mind.
It was a gift.
It was a gift from Ethan!
Ethan was still alive!
In fact, he had been watching over them all this time!
The village chief immediately said, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. The box isn’t dangerous. Take it out.”
Stephen was displeased. “Are you playing around with the villagers‘ safety?”
The village chief retorted, “You falsely accused us first, but now you care about our safety?”
Stephen was instantly speechless.
The villagers ignored him. A few young men climbed into the truck and carefully took the box down.
“Chief, the box is very light. It doesn’t seem like there’s much inside.”
The village chief slowly stepped forward and opened the box with trembling hands.
Many other villages gathered around. The photographer also moved closer.
When the box was opened, everyone was shocked.
There were only two items inside: a photograph, and a bloodstained gun. The photo was of
a man shot in the head, his expression twisted in despair and fear.

The audience was stunned.
“What is that?”
“Is someone showing off their murder?”
“Call the police!”
Stephen and George noticed that the people around the box had frozen, and immediately pushed through to see for themselves. They were also stunned.
“Who sent this?”
“Are they openly challenging us with this sick joke?”
Stephen and George were furious.
Today was a day of celebration, but someone had sent a photo of a dead man and a bloodstained gun. What did it mean?
“No.” The village chief spoke in a trembling voice, “It’s a gift. It’s a gift from him!”
“Huh?” Stephen was stunned.
The audience widened their eyes.
The village chief took the photograph and gun with shaking hands and raised them in the
air.
“Everyone, look! This is the leader of the gang that killed many of us. He’s dead!” The village chief choked up as his vision blurred with tears. “My wife and children died at his hands…”
Many villagers who saw the photo and gun also started to cry.
They constantly thought of revenge, and now, justice was finally served!
Stephen was stunned, and George was dumbfounded. The livestream viewers were at a loss for words. They all froze in place as if struck by lightning.
This was not, a provocation. It was a gift!
The man who had been killed was the one responsible for the destruction of so many families in the village.
Stephen was in disbelief, “How could this be?”
The viewers were also filled with questions.
“Who did it?”
“It’s no ordinary gift. It’s priceless! It’s far more valuable than what Stephen offered!”

“The thought behind the gift is what matters. A community and awards are nothing in comparison to that photo.”
“The enemy is dead. Now, everyone can finally sleep peacefully, and their loved ones can rest in peace.
Everyone was curious to know who sent the gift
Who could have delivered such an incredible gift?
Even Stephen, the Grand Marshal’s mentee, could not pull it off.
“Chief!” A young man suddenly shouted, “There’s a letter in the box!”
It turned out that there was a letter beneath the photo. Now that the photo was removed, everyone could see the letter that was previously hidden.
The village chief quickly took the letter and opened it.
It was addressed to all the villagers. The letter expressed gratitude to them and urged them to live well from now on.
After reading it, the village chief was certain.
“It’s him.”
