"Mingzhu, why do you have such thoughts?" Wang Peng asked, handing him a glass of water.

Li Mingzhu asked, "When you were in school, were you able to manage the business at the same time?"

"It seems about right now," Wang Peng said, not giving a definitive answer.

Customers know he's in school, so they call him in the evening or morning.

When customers needed to ship urgently, they would come to the school to find Wang Peng.

Then Wang Peng would have to take leave and go home with his customers to prepare the goods.

This is affecting business.

"Brother, a person's energy is limited, and it's hard to be good at everything. In the long run, it will definitely affect the business."

"I'm not good at studying. At most, I can get into an art school, but it doesn't matter whether I take the exam or not."

"So I decided to get married, take care of your business from home, and study painting on the side."

Li Mingzhu said.

"Listen to me, thank you." Wang Peng said, both amused and exasperated, "But I don't quite agree. You should just go to school."

"Why?" Li Mingzhu grabbed his arm. "Why don't you agree? Do you look down on me?"

"No," Wang Peng shook his head. "The stationery business can only last another year and a half at most. We need to take the college entrance exam."

I'll definitely have to give up the stationery business when I go to university in another city.

Or find someone to take over.

When it comes to someone taking over a company's assets, Wang Peng immediately thinks of Li Longfei.

"Brother Peng."

Someone was shouting outside the courtyard.

When Wang Peng looked up, he saw Li Mengjiao with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wang Peng hurriedly stood up.

"Mengjiao!" Li Mingzhu took off running.

He ran to the gate, ran to Li Mengjiao's side, and said, "Mengjiao, come inside and talk."

Li Mingzhu pulled her into the house and immediately filled a basin with clean water for her to wash her face.

"Brother Peng, my dad's been arrested by the police, sob..."

Li Mengjiao burst into tears.

Wang Peng was taken aback, and after a moment he gave a wry smile.

Needless to say, the reason Li Longfei was arrested by the police could only be that he played obscene videotapes in public.

I solemnly reminded him not to break the law for money, it wasn't worth it.

He just wouldn't listen.

"Criminal detention? Or administrative detention?" Wang Peng asked.

"Criminal!" Li Mengjiao leaned on Li Mingzhu's shoulder and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, let's think of something," Li Mingzhu quickly comforted her.

It was no use; Li Mengjiao cried even harder.

Wang Peng couldn't help but sigh.

If they hadn't launched the service back then, and had continued operating the video arcade together, they would definitely have gone to jail.

He didn't know how many years he would be sentenced to for this crime, but going to jail was certain.

"Which police station is Uncle Long at? Is it the Ping'an Town Police Station?" Wang Peng asked hurriedly.

“Ping’an Town Police Station.” Li Mengjiao nodded.

"I'll go find out what's going on. Mingzhu, you stay with her." Wang Peng got on his bicycle and rode away.

Passing by the train station, I rode my bike into the train station square.

Li Longfei's video arcade was sealed off, as was Bei Batian's video arcade across the street.

There was an elderly sanitation worker in the square.

Wang Peng offered him a cigarette. "Sir, why were those two video arcades shut down?"

The cigarette was good, and the old man lit it with great satisfaction.

"Our county is currently cracking down on crime."

"The owners of these two video arcades, relying on their money and connections, play pornographic videos every day."

"Then the police station raided the place, confiscating all the video recorders and televisions. I heard he'll even have to go to jail."

The old man laughed smugly, gloating.

He used to always try to rip people off at video arcades for free, but he always got kicked out by two different arcades. This time, he felt better.

Wang Peng smiled wryly.

This is blatant defiance of the law; they deserve to be arrested.

"Young man, these two video arcades are doomed; they'll definitely be shut down."

"The two bosses will definitely go to jail and be fined a lot of money."

"What karma!"

The elderly sanitation worker was comfortably smoking.

Wang Peng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and simply rode away on his bike.

Xiaowangzhuang, Wang Peng's home.

Li Mingzhu tried her best to comfort Li Mengjiao.

She was a soft-hearted person, and Li Mengjiao kept crying, which soon made her cry too.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside the yard.

"Dapengzi, are you home?"

Li Mingzhu hurriedly walked out of the main room and saw an old man with two young people.

The old man is the village party secretary of Xiaowangzhuang.

The two young men were Li Keyong, the uncle, and Feng Lin, the uncle's colleague.

"Uncle, Uncle Feng, wow..."

Li Mingzhu ran while crying.

"Damn it!" Li Keyong was instantly enraged. "Wang Peng, get the hell out here!"

He thought Wang Peng had bullied his beloved niece.

"Uncle," Li Mingzhu quickly grabbed his arm and explained, "It's not Peng-gege's business, it has nothing to do with him."

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Li Keyong was furious and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Old Li, don't get agitated," Feng Lin quickly advised her. "Don't shout, let the child finish speaking."

At this moment, Li Mengjiao also came into the courtyard.

Upon seeing Li Mengjiao crying, Feng Lin immediately realized that there might be a case.

The four of them entered the main room.

Li Mingzhu closed the door to the main room and recounted the whole story in detail.

"Uh, I see." Li Keyong scratched his head awkwardly, realizing he had misunderstood someone.

Feng Lin scratched his head, "Old Li, go to the police station and find Xiao Peng, and ask him to come back."

The crackdown is no joke; pleading for leniency is useless.

"Uncle, can you help me?" Li Mingzhu pleaded softly.

"I can't help." Li Keyong shook his head and smiled bitterly. "You guys wait at home, I'll go find Xiaopeng and bring him back."

"Mingzhu, give me the motorcycle keys." He pointed to the three-wheeled motorcycle in the yard.
