"Is Xiao Mo coming back for the holiday this year too?" Zhou Jianye asked with a smile.
"Well, they said it'll be ready for dinner. How about we come over for a couple of drinks tonight, Second Brother?"
Chu Yi looked at Zhou Jianye and extended an invitation.
"Okay, I'll come over then. Is Xiao Mo bringing his girlfriend back this time?"
Zhou Jianye nodded. He would bring the gifts and mooncakes he had just bought over later.
Chu Yi paused for a moment, then smiled casually and said:
"The two weren't a good match and have already broken up. I guess too many girls were pursuing Xiao Mo, and he got overwhelmed with choices."
After saying that, he stole a glance at his mother, Ms. Chen Yuelan, who was sighing.
Zhou Jianye also realized what was happening and hurriedly burst into laughter:
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Among us brothers, Xiao Mo is the most handsome. We can't be envious of him."
The topic was then steered back to today's events. After some discussion, Zhou Jianye stood up and said:
"I can't stay long while I'm at work. Call me if you need anything, and let me know if you need money."
After saying that, he took his leave.
It was 4:30 in the afternoon.
Looking frustrated, Chu Yi reluctantly went up to the fourth floor and knocked heavily on the door.
Who is it?
An angry and annoyed voice came from inside. After opening the door, Liu Dahu saw that it was Chu Yi and was furious.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Are you here to demolish the house?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll transfer the five thousand yuan to you right now."
Chu Yi knew that the other party had leverage over him, and there was no way he could bargain.
Therefore, I'm too lazy to waste any more words.
Liu Dahu chuckled coldly at him, showing no intention of inviting him in at all.
"Five thousand yuan? Who told you five thousand? I went to ask the auto repair shop this afternoon, and it will cost at least ten thousand yuan to fix it."
"Liu Dagou, don't you dare push your luck. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Chu Yi, who was already furious, suddenly turned pale, and his suppressed anger erupted like a volcano.
"You don't have to give it to me, but I'll call the police tomorrow morning and let your wife spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in detention."
Liu Dahu spoke with an arrogant expression; he had long disliked the other party.
The day before yesterday, the two even came to blows over a car blocking the road.
Now that he has this opportunity, how could he possibly let the other party off easily?
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi could no longer hold back and threw a punch hard.
Caught off guard, Liu Dahu was instantly hit in the face, and blood streamed down his nose.
"Fuck you, you dare hit me? Erbao, come down and help me."
Liu Dahu roared and immediately began to fight with Chu Yi.
Hearing the commotion on the fourth floor, his younger brother Liu Erbao immediately rushed down.
Chu Ruihua, who was preparing to cook, also ran upstairs.
When he arrived, Chu Yi was being pinned to the ground by the two brothers, who were punching and kicking him.
Seeing his son being bullied like this, the honest man Chu Ruihua completely lost his temper and joined the fight in a frenzied manner.
Although he is over fifty years old, he still has the strength he gained from years of hard work, and his strength is even greater than that of some young people.
The father and son quickly turned the tide and pinned the Liu brothers down.
The father and son only stopped fighting after Liu's wife, who had called the police, came out to dissuade them.
"You guys surnamed Chu, I'm not done with you yet! Don't even think about it without 100,000 yuan!"
Enraged, the Liu brothers roared repeatedly.
The two brothers, in the prime of their lives, were beaten up like this by a father and son right at their own doorstep. How could they swallow this insult?
Not long after.
Several police officers arrived and handcuffed the Chu father and son on the spot.
The charges are intentionally damaging other people's property and causing trouble at their doorstep.
As for the Liu brothers, after giving their statements, they went to the hospital as victims.
At this moment, the Chu family was shrouded in gloom, and Chu Mo's aunt and her family of three also arrived.
Despite her panic, Chen Yuelan forced herself to remain calm as she looked at Zhou Jianye.
"Jianye, will your uncle and the others be sentenced this time?"
Zhou Jianye sighed deeply and said with a bitter expression:
"My uncle and his accomplices were charged with 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble,' which could result in a sentence of three months to a year for minor offenses, and more than a year but less than five years for serious offenses."
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and looked anxious.
"Son, you must think of a way. We can't let your uncle and the others get in."
Zhou's mother looked anxious, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to deepen.
Thinking of my younger brother, who is so old and has to suffer like this inside, I can't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll ask the leader to step in and see if we can ask Liu Guodong for a favor."
Zhou Jianye hurriedly comforted his mother, then took out his phone and walked to the side.
Asking a leader to put in a good word for another leader is actually a big taboo within the system.
That would be like making the leader owe someone a favor. Which leader would be willing to do that for a subordinate?
But Zhou Jianye is helpless now; given his reputation, Liu Guodong simply won't pay him any attention.
"What? You want me to plead with Deputy Director Liu? Haha, Xiao Zhou, what can I say about you? You really are..."
The captain of the public security brigade was speechless for a moment, and before hanging up the phone, he said earnestly:
"As public officials, even if a relative makes a mistake, we must enforce the law impartially, not use connections or back channels. I don't want to hear such words again."
As expected.
The captain flatly refused.
He knew, of course, that it wasn't that the captain was particularly upright; the root cause was simply that his own position wasn't high enough.
If you're in a high enough position, why would you need to ask for help? Plenty of people would offer to help.
