Soon the local police arrived, but they didn't take it too seriously. These days, there are too many people involved in organized crime, and things like extortion and harassment are all too common.

Armed robbery of a few thousand yuan is not a big deal; people generally don't take it seriously.

“Just now, Deng Guang, a trusted henchman of the gangster Zhong Jiahao, robbed me of three thousand yuan at knifepoint and even injured me with the knife. Now I demand that you open a case and investigate. I will go back with you to make a statement.”

Upon seeing the police arrive, Zhang Fan stated his demands directly.

“We’ll handle it appropriately. We won’t take a statement; we’ll make him return the embezzled money later.”

The police didn't take it too seriously; if it really involved organized crime, that would be handled by the anti-organized crime office.

The small local police station doesn't have that much authority.

And they only robbed a few thousand dollars, didn't even kill anyone, it's not a big deal.

"Afraid? What's your police number?"

As soon as Zhang Fan spoke, the police officer became unhappy. However, another police officer got out of the car, and he was clearly of a much higher rank.

“If Deng Guang committed robbery, we will report it to the anti-gang office. Some things need to be handled by the anti-gang office. What are your demands? If you get the money and compensation, we can help you negotiate.”

The newcomer looked at Zhang Fan, seemingly sensing that Zhang Fan was no ordinary person.

"Armed robbery of three thousand yuan, let me think how many years that would be enough for him to go to jail? If you say the evidence isn't enough, I have video footage here. If you need witnesses, we have all of that here. Now that Deng Guang has committed a crime, you don't dare to arrest him?"

Zhang Fan smiled and asked, "Why did you take back that little bit of money?"

"Since you know Deng Guang is Zhong Jiahao's man, how dare you offend him like this?"

The police officers were clearly taken aback; this was clearly an attempt to destroy Deng Guang.

If the evidence is conclusive, Deng Guang will most likely end up in jail.

"What? I can't even fight for my basic rights as a law-abiding citizen? Go ahead and arrest them. My lawyer will be in charge right away and will supervise your handling of the case. Of course, you can also submit the case to the anti-gang office later."

Zhang Fan said with certainty.

The officers from the police station exchanged a few words in hushed tones, then issued a notice of case filing. The case could be investigated, and it would be transferred to the anti-gang office later.

Anyway, the small police station wouldn't dare to offend the Zhong family like that.

The difficult problem will then be transferred to the anti-gang office.

This time, Deng Guang has run into trouble.

What he thinks is impressive might actually be impressive in the future.

Half a day later.

Deng Guang was arrested at a bar and confessed to robbing 3,000 yuan at knifepoint, completely disregarding the matter.

It's just a few thousand dollars, what could possibly happen?

He does this kind of thing every day, from robbing people to demanding protection money, he's not afraid of anything, even assaulting respectable women.

They have very strong connections.

Is this trivial matter even a big deal?

Wait a day, and I'll be able to go out again.

That kid actually dared to report it to the police?

Once we get out, we'll cut off his legs!

This time, however, Deng Guang didn't have a chance. Huo Deguang already knew about the case, and now that the people had been arrested, that kid was sticking to the story that Deng Guang committed armed robbery, and that it was a group of people committing armed robbery.

This is involved in evil.

Huo Deguang also wanted to teach the Zhong family a lesson. He didn't dare to arrest Zhong Jiahao, but Deng Guang was just a lackey, so why couldn't he arrest him?

If we're going to make a move, we should make an example of someone. That way, we can send a warning to the Zhong family and let them know how powerful they are!

Soon, Deng Guang was taken away as a typical example and taken to the anti-gang office.

His crimes are no small matter; at the very least, he'll face at least ten years in prison, and as for the maximum, that depends on fate.

On the other side.

Zhong Haiming returned from the provincial capital with a lot of things in his car.

These are all medicinal herbs, which the Zhong family spent a huge sum of money to buy. They are some precious medicinal herbs. That kid is demanding more than 300 million yuan in compensation, and the Zhong family is definitely not going to be taken advantage of.

So they went through various channels and finally bought back a batch of slightly inferior medicinal herbs.

It is said that ginseng is a thousand-year-old plant, but it is actually only a hundred years old, and snow lotus is only a few decades old.

Anyway, that kid doesn't know anything, so just give him the stuff and he'll be fooled.

These items weren't cheap to buy. Even with the Zhong family's help, they haven't reached the required lifespan yet, and it still cost tens of millions.

The Zhong family, of course, knew how to do the math; tens of millions was cheaper than over three hundred million.

The car arrived at the shop.

Zhong Haiming got down, accompanied by a middle-aged couple.

The two men looked angry and clenched their fists.

Deng Guang is their son. He was arrested for armed robbery and taken away by the anti-gang office.

Both men were heads of powerful departments in the provincial capital and had always doted on Deng Guang. Now that he had been imprisoned, how could they not be furious?

The coastal police wouldn't dare do anything to Deng Guang, but the anti-gang office would.

Qin Tian from Binhai has been arrested, Tiger has been arrested, and the secretary-general has been placed under investigation, so the anti-gang office is serious.

There's only one way now: make this kid admit to making a false accusation. Only if he admits to making a false accusation can his son, Deng Guang, be released.

Otherwise, Deng Guang would really be sentenced!

"The items are here, let's check them."

Zhong Haiming pointed to the contents inside.

Zhang Fan is waiting.

Naturally, they also noticed the angry looks from the couple on the other side, and they knew who they were without even having to guess.

The items themselves are fine, but the age is a big problem; they've all shrunk significantly.

What was originally a thousand years has become a hundred years, and what was originally ten thousand years has become a few decades.

Although it has shrunk significantly, it is still considered a high-grade medicinal herb.

Ordinary people can no longer buy medicinal herbs from this year.

"If there are no problems, sign it, and then I'll have those old men in Binhai release the person."

Zhong Haiming came over with a settlement agreement.

"The damaged medicinal herbs have been compensated, but the damaged property has not. Look at my place, it's all wrecked. Ten million."

Zhang Fan pointed to the shop.

Zhong Haiming nodded.

"Okay, give me your account number, I'll pay you."

Zhong Haiming is very confident.

He gave away ten million without hesitation.

Hu Dajun walked over and provided an account.

Zhong Haiming took the account and turned to leave indifferently.

Playing power games?

Is this kid my opponent?

Having spent decades in officialdom, I've seen it all.

If he can send Deng Guang in, why can't I send him in too?

He falsely accused Deng Guang of extortion, but he couldn't falsely accuse him himself?

Ten million? That's enough for him to spend his entire life in jail!

“Transfer 10 million into this account, then report it to the police anti-gang office on charges of extortion.”

Zhong Haiming handed the note to his secretary.

Play?

It all comes down to who can outmaneuver whom!

This kid's gotten so arrogant, does he really think he can listen to everything he says?

"Just wait, they'll be begging you in the end."

Zhong Haiming looked at the couple on the side.

Following my lead will definitely lead to a bright future.

Deng Guang's matter was easily resolved; the kid quickly realized his mistake.

Zhang Fan smiled when he saw Zhong Haiming's wicked gaze.

Play?

It's hard to say who will win.

He'll have a surprise soon too.
