Seeing the crowd waver, Liu Dafu wore an even more triumphant expression.
He had checked with Lin Changming repeatedly: absolutely no one had seen him blocking the water source. From the moment he went up the mountain to the moment he came back down, the only person who had been by the ditch and might have suspected him was Lin Moyang. But who would believe something so baseless? Besides, Li Dagang and Lin Moyang had just gotten promotions and revenge respectively. If anyone were to be investigated, the two of them would naturally be the primary suspects.
Thinking of this, Liu Dafu continued aloud: "Lin Moyang somehow found out beforehand that we were going to have a massive rainstorm these past few days, so he conspired with Li Dagang in advance. Afterward, Li Dagang led everyone in clearing the drainage ditches while waiting for the storm to hit. But the rainfall wasn't heavy enough to trigger a flash flood, so Lin Moyang ran up and blocked the source to store up water, using it to cause a flood. In other words, if Lin Moyang hadn't gone and blocked the water source, there never would have been such a huge flash flood. Their plan was utterly seamless—now they get their promotions and their sweet revenge. Such a conscience-less thing is only something Lin Moyang and Li Dagang could pull off!"
