"Hey, you're Xiao Liu from the county police station, right? I saw you at the entrance when I went to see your chief last time!"
Li Shan suddenly spoke up, and Xiao Liu looked over with some confusion upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice.
Upon seeing it, he was so shocked that he immediately stood up.
"Director Li... Director Li!"
Xiao Wang, a police officer who had come out with him on business, also stood up abruptly.
"Director Zhao!"
He didn't know Li Shan from the Coast Guard, but he did know Zhao Gang. He had met Zhao Gang once when he went to the Fisheries Administration Bureau with his captain for a case that required their cooperation.
How come these bureau chiefs, who are usually so busy, have time to sit and drink tea at this little fisherman's house today?
"Haha, young comrades, don't be nervous, sit down, all of you, sit down!"
Zhao Gang smiled and raised his hand to indicate that Boss Fu had invited them to sit down as they entered.
Ye Xiaocui also brewed some of her home-made tea for everyone, but since everyone's attention was on Zhao Dong, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang didn't recognize the two bureau chiefs at first glance.
These two bureau chiefs are the real deal; the old man in the main seat, exuding an air of authority and dressed in military uniform…
At this moment, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang felt that the long bench in the Fu family's house was a bit too hot for their bottoms, and they didn't know whether to sit or stand.
Damn, they came here because this comrade from Beijing reported that there were human traffickers here.
There's another team in the squad keeping watch not far away, ready to arrest the human trafficker as soon as they return!
Now it seems they were most likely scammed by the person who reported the crime!
Perhaps it was because Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu's gazes were too mournful that Zhao Dong felt somewhat lacking in confidence.
"You... I don't care what kind of bureau chief you are, it's wrong of you to protect human traffickers. If you don't let me take my daughter away, I'll... I'll appeal to the central government!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Fu Wan clapped her hands, stood up, and said to Zhao Dong with a mocking expression, "What a loving father he is!"
Comrade Zhao, you weren't like this when you disliked Mingzhu for being a girl and wanted a son.
"What? It's only been less than a year, and you've already fallen out of love with your son and started liking your daughter instead?"
When his son was mentioned, Zhao Dong recalled the fact that he had been cuckolded and raised someone else's son, and his face immediately turned ugly.
Fu Wan continued to stab him in the heart: "Didn't you say your daughter was useless back then? You were so quick to agree to the household registration transfer, so why did you come all this way to ask me for her now?"
Hmm... let me guess, is it that you want the money Mingzhu has?
Or... is there something wrong with your son that makes you think of how good your daughter is?
"I heard that someone in Beijing raised a son for several months, only to find out that the son was not their own. However, I think this situation is not a big problem for people who want a son."
You can definitely have another one, right? A rich man like Mr. Zhao would probably have at least ten or eight sons.
But Mr. Zhao has been acting so shamelessly these past two days, so eager to take Mingzhu back, it's hard not to wonder...
"Oh, is it that you can't have children anymore?"
Fu Wan feigned surprise as she looked at Zhao Dong, and everyone around her was also focused on him.
A few of the bolder ones even glanced down at Zhao Dong's lower body, trying to figure out how he couldn't have children.
This infuriated Zhao Dong, who immediately rushed forward to hit Fu Wan.
But Bai Qianzhou was no pushover. Before he could even get close to Fu Wan, Bai Qianzhou had already pinned her to the ground.
"You, you've gone too far!"
"You know perfectly well who's gone too far!"
Fu Wan put away her smile and said coldly, "When Mingzhu moved her household registration, she said we would not be related. Now, less than a year later, you want to go back on your word."
Because of your arrival, Mingzhu burned for most of the night last night, and now you have the nerve to come and demand your person back?
If there weren't so many people here today, Fu Wan would definitely have taught him a lesson!
"Fu Wan, Qin Anning, don't think you're something special just because you have a little connection!"
"When I return to the capital, I'll give you all a piece of my mind. Not only will you have Mingzhu, but you'll also have to pay me back!"
Zhao Dong said angrily, while Sun Shaoping, who had been sitting in the main seat and hadn't said much, narrowed his eyes.
The Zhao family, right? He remembered that.
It just so happens that I have to report to the leaders in Beijing after the meeting today. As someone who has made many contributions to the country, the leaders would never stand by and watch her be bullied.
Moreover, Fu Wan did nothing wrong. If she hadn't intervened in time and adopted Qin Mingzhu, the child would have been trafficked somewhere!
"My godmother won't pay you back! And she won't go with you!"
A young but firm voice came from the crowd. Fu Wan looked closely and was immediately surprised and went forward to greet it.
"Mingzhu, Lingling, what brings you here?"
As Qin Mingzhu and Fu Ling ran over and took Fu Wan's hand, they passed Zhao Dong, and the two children inadvertently stepped heavily on Zhao Dong's feet twice.
Fu Wan subconsciously touched Qin Mingzhu's forehead again.
Fortunately, her temperature isn't too high. I'll take her to the village doctor to have her temperature checked again later.
Zhao Dong grimaced in pain, and looking at Qin Mingzhu's resentful gaze, he couldn't help but question the meaning of life.
Was it really the right thing for him to come and pick up the child?
This child has no regard for me, and even hates me because of her mother's death, but if I don't take her back, my lineage will be cut off!
Those who have no descendants essentially lose their right to inheritance in the Zhao family.
Qin Anning hugged Qin Mingzhu tightly, then glared at the dazed Zhao Dong and said hatefully, "Zhao Dong, give up on this idea!"
Mingzhu is now a child of the Qin family. Whether you can have children or not is your business. From the moment you abandoned Mingzhu, she could never go back with you.
"You want to use your influence in the capital to intimidate us? Well, the Qin family isn't going to take this lying down. If you dare to bother Mingzhu and Awan again, you can forget about all the business you got through the Qin family before!"
She had no intention of going into business, but that doesn't mean the Qin family is gone.
Putting everything else aside, as long as she speaks to Qin Fu, her sixth brother will never let Zhao Dong off the hook.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong's expression immediately changed. He was no longer the head of the Zhao family. If he caused any harm to the family business, his father would definitely not let him off the hook!
"Alright, it's about time."
Comrade Xiao Fu, we still have to go to the city for a meeting. We'll take Comrade Zhao with us for you. Remember to tell the villagers about the sea voyage later!
Sun Shao-ping stood up as he spoke, and Fu Wan nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Commander!"
Sun Shaoping shook his head and gave a signal with his eyes. The guards next to him hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhao Dong up.
A large group of people came and left in a grand procession, leaving the courtyard much emptier. However, Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou stayed behind.
"Hey, what's going on here..."
Fu Wan was a little puzzled that these two very busy people hadn't left with Sun Shao Ping.
Bai Qianzhou naturally helped Ye Xiaocui tidy up the teacups that Sun Shaoping and the others had just used. When Fu Wan asked, he replied, "I've been busy for a while now. Since the leaders were out, they gave Anning and me a few days off."
The leader was also thinking about the injury he sustained at sea the day before yesterday, while Qin Anning had been working overtime for a full month.
With the danger over, Ye Lin and his companions packed their things and said goodbye to Fu Wan's family.
"It's going to rain starting tomorrow, so we won't be able to go out to sea for a while. Ah Wan, why don't you come to our village for a few days? I'll take you to catch eels!"
