The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable!
The police quickly identified the suspects based on the surveillance footage, and within a day, the thugs involved in the arson were apprehended.
In the interrogation room, faced with the ironclad evidence, the psychological defenses of several gangsters quickly collapsed. They confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and identified the mastermind behind the scenes - Brother Biao.
The police followed the clues and immediately arrested Brother Biao. Brother Biao wanted to deny it, but faced with solid evidence and the testimony of his subordinates, he could not bear it and finally confessed that he was instructed by Qian Defa, the boss of Lvyuan Fresh, and provided key evidence such as transfer records.
That afternoon, several police cars roared to a halt at the entrance of Green Source Fresh’s headquarters in the city center.
Qian Defa was in the office, listening to Huang Jianming's work report, imagining the scene where Zhong Ling burst into tears after seeing the vegetable field destroyed and finally had to surrender to him, with a smug sneer on his lips.
The office door was flung open, and several uniformed police officers walked in. The leader showed his ID and said in a serious voice:
"Qian Defa, you are suspected of instigating arson. The evidence is irrefutable. Please come with us!"
Qian Defa's smile froze instantly, his eyes widening as if he had just heard something out of the ordinary. "Police officer, are you mistaken? I..."
"Whether you're mistaken or not, you'll know when you get back. Take him away!"
The moment the cold handcuffs were put on his wrists, Qian Defa woke up from his dream, the blood drained from his face, and a huge panic gripped him.
He couldn't figure out how this could happen. How could a country girl have such great abilities?!
He was escorted by the police and got into the police car in a disheveled state amid the astonished, puzzled and gloating gazes of the company employees.
The news of Qian Defa's arrest quickly spread throughout the city's business community.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it.
Green Source Fresh's foundation was already unstable due to the previous "hormone vegetables" rumors and senior management turmoil. Now that the boss is in jail, it has given competitors an excellent opportunity.
Those competitors who had long been eyeing Green Source Fresh's market share swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
Suppliers are demanding payment, banks are withdrawing loans, key employees are leaving, and stores are losing customers...
In just a few days, the once prosperous Green Source Fresh Food collapsed under the encroachment of various forces, was quickly divided up by the market, and completely became history.
The source of all this was simply because Qian Defa got involved with a country woman named Zhong Ling, whom he thought he could control at will.
When the news that Qian Defa was taken away by the police reached Yunxi Village, the villagers were shocked at first, and then they felt a bit of awe for Zhong Ling.
This girl, without making any noise, actually sent the boss of Lvyuan Fresh to jail! And that surveillance camera, who would install that thing in a country yard for no reason?
That afternoon, Qin Yali's Mercedes-Benz stopped at Zhong Ling's door again. She looked at the charred patch of earth beside the courtyard wall, her brows furrowed. She had already heard about Qian Defa's arrest and had come to see him immediately.
"Ms. Zhong, I heard..." Qin Yali looked at Zhong Ling who opened the door, with worry in her tone.
Zhong Ling stepped aside to let her in. "Well, you heard about it too?"
"This... was really done by Qian Defa?" Qin Yali still found it a little unbelievable that a big boss would use such despicable means.
"The police have taken him away, and there are several others who took action." Zhong Ling said indifferently. She pointed to the small stool in the yard and said, "Sit down, Miss Qin."
Qin Yali sat down and looked at the calmness on Zhong Ling's face that was inconsistent with her age. She felt more and more that this girl was not simple.
"Then your dish... in the future..." This was what she cared about most. Zimo had finally started to improve, if this was interrupted...
"This piece of land needs a break." Zhong Ling glanced at the scorched earth. "I also want to take a break."
"Take a break?" Qin Yali was stunned. "You mean... stop planting for a while?"
"Yeah," Zhong Ling nodded, "I don't plan to sell vegetables recently. After being busy for a while, it's time to relax and go out for a walk." She did feel a little bored. Taking care of Qian Defa was not even a warm-up.
Qin Yali's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't hide her disappointment on her face: "Then... Zimo..."
Zhong Ling glanced at her, walked into the house, and soon came out with a bulging cloth bag. "This is the last batch I harvested two days ago before the fire. I was planning to eat it myself. If you don't mind, you can take it all."
The bag contained freshly picked greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes, all vibrant in color. Qin Yali's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up: "Yes! How could I dislike it! Thank you so much, Miss Zhong!"
She knew that this was probably the last batch she would be able to eat in the near future, so she naturally treasured it very much.
This time, Qin Yali gave more money, saying it was just a thank you. Zhong Ling didn't refuse and took the money.
"Ms. Zhong, if you go out to play, when will you come back? If... if you continue to grow vegetables in the future, please be sure to notify me first." Qin Yali couldn't help but ask.
"It depends on my mood. I'll tell you if I plant it." Zhong Ling waved her hand.
"Okay, Miss Zhong, I'll be leaving first."
The Mercedes-Benz slowly drove away, leaving behind a sea of envious gazes at the village entrance.
Zhong Ling closed the gate of the courtyard. The income from selling vegetables during this period, plus the money she had exchanged for gold bars before, was a considerable amount, enough for her to travel comfortably.
The village couldn't keep secrets, and the news that Zhong Ling was going on a trip spread quickly.
And at the other end of the village is Old Li's house.
Old Li squatted on the doorstep of his house, puffing on his cigarette, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
His wife Zhang Qinglan kept complaining beside him, saying that Qian Defa was a good-for-nothing and had cut off everyone's source of income.
"That's enough! Stop nagging!" Old Li slammed his cigarette down on the ground, scattering ash everywhere. "There's no point in talking about this now! That Qian guy is in jail, and Miss Zhong is leaving too! Where are our vegetables? Ah? Where are we going to get them?"
He had made a lot of money by reselling those vegetables a few days ago and was thinking about how to get more goods, but Chandler got angry and burned his dream of getting rich to ashes.
Now that Zhong Ling is gone, the thought of it is completely gone.
"It's all that damn Qian Defa's fault! He had to ruin a good business! Now he's in trouble and has blocked our way too!" Old Li was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, but he was helpless and could only curse at the air with spit flying everywhere.
Zhang Qinglan shrank back, not daring to say anything more. She secretly wondered if she hadn't joined in the hype and spread rumors about "hormone-cured vegetables," she might have gotten along well with that Zhong girl, and wouldn't be completely helpless now. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now.
