"Wow, where did this good stuff come from?" The bureau chief's eyes lit up, and he reached out to snatch it to take a look.
Tang Bainian clasped his hands together, cupping them in his palms: "I found it."
"Don't you understand the importance of returning lost property?" the bureau chief scoffed, glancing at him. "You're stingy."
He smiled broadly, and wouldn't believe it if the girl hadn't given it to him.

In the middle of the night, Yang Qingheng was fast asleep when she suddenly heard a crisp sound.
She jumped, her eyes fixed on the window, her ears straining to hear any sound, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
The next second, several squeaking sounds of mice were heard.
It's good that it's not human.
Yang Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief, finding the mouse somewhat cute for the first time.
"You're scared now?" Before he could catch his breath, a cold male voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Yang Qingheng was startled when a large hand tightly covered her mouth and nose, and a strong masculine scent wafted over her, making her feel nauseous.
"Hiss!" The man gasped, clutching the bloodstain on his neck, and slapped Yang Qingheng hard across the face, gripping her neck tightly.
"Your claws are quite sharp. You don't want them anymore, huh?"
Yang Qingheng's face stung with pain. Now she could hear clearly that the person behind her was actually that scumbag Song Jianguo.
"Weren't you quite smug last time? Hmm?" Song Jianguo grinned maliciously, then, under the moonlight, he enjoyed watching her panicked expression. "You like to break up other people's families, right? Today, I'll show you the consequences of meddling!"
If it weren't for her, how would Li Dahong have known about his affair with Yao Ruolan, and how would his son have been aborted by Yao Ruolan?
It's all her fault, that bitch!
Yang Qingheng spat at him: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Song Jianguo, all of this is your own fault."
Song Jianguo sneered and gripped her neck even tighter.
Yang Qingheng's face turned bright red, and she looked so suffocated that it made people dizzy.
Suddenly, her eyes hardened, and she swung the kitchen knife at him with all her might.
Song Jianguo covered his neck, his face filled with disbelief.
This woman actually hid a kitchen knife in her bed!
"You bitch!" Song Jianguo snatched the kitchen knife away forcefully, his face contorted with rage.
The door was kicked open from the outside with a loud bang, and Sister-in-law Sun rushed in with a carrying pole, fiercely slamming her hand on Song Jianguo's head.
"You filthy scoundrel, you've gone too far! I'll make sure you're ruined today!"
Song Xingnong was startled by the sight of blood on the ground and quickly snatched the carrying pole from Sister Sun: "Alright, alright, don't kill her!"
Flames raged outside as a group of people rushed in. When they saw the bloodstains on the ground and the gleaming kitchen knife in Yang Qingheng's hand, they all felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively took a step back.
This woman is too fierce!
"What happened?" The village chief rushed in, his clothes disheveled and his hair in disarray. When he saw the scene before him, his vision blurred and he almost fainted.
Song Jianguo was on the verge of death, his eyes filled with venom as he stared in Yang Qingheng's direction: "That bitch, she tried to kill me."
"Shut up!" the village chief roared.
He turned to Yang Qingheng and gave her a gentle smile.
“Qingheng, Jianguo just drank too much horse urine and lost his mind, so he went into your room by mistake. You seem to be alright today, so why not let him off the hook? It's better for your reputation.”
It sounds like they're thinking of her best interests?
Yang Qingheng was taken aback, then laughed angrily: "Village chief, are you going to protect this rapist today?"
"Yang Qingheng!" The village chief frowned and warned her, "You're an adult. Think carefully before you speak. If this gets out, it will affect our village's reputation. And you've chopped him up like this, and you think you're not wrong? Know when to stop."
Everyone nodded: "Qingheng, for the sake of the village's reputation, and for your own sake, just turn a blind eye to this."
In those days, a woman's reputation was paramount, and most women would choose to remain silent in the face of such a situation. They felt that Yang Qingheng was no exception.
However, they forgot that the woman in front of them had just chopped Song Jianguo half to death with a kitchen knife ten minutes ago; how could she be an ordinary person?
Yang Qingheng sneered, her dark eyes sweeping over everyone present, sending chills down their spines.
"If Song Jianguo is not punished today, will a Li Jianguo or a Wang Jianguo emerge tomorrow? When the victim becomes your wife, your daughter, or even yourself, will you continue to protect the criminals then?"
Everyone immediately fell silent; the scene was deathly quiet.
The women present couldn't help but shudder, a chill running down their spines.
"Send Song Jianguo to the police station and severely punish the rapist!" Sister-in-law Sun said angrily.
Other women chimed in, "This rapist must be taken to the police station today!"
"Songjia Village does not harbor criminals!"
The village chief had a headache and glared at Song Jianguo.
Yang Qingheng said coldly, "Village chief, if you don't help me take this criminal to the police station today, I can call the police myself. When the police car arrives, it won't just be our village that knows about this!"
Thinking of her relationship with the bureau chief, the village chief's brow twitched a few times, and he sighed deeply. He then waved to the men behind him: "Tie her up and take her to the police station!"
Sister-in-law Sun nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and was about to speak when she saw Yang Qingheng's eyes roll back and she faint.
Yang Qingheng opened her eyes and was greeted by a world of pure white.
