When the police officers present heard that Old Zheng was asking for a high rent of 40 yuan a month, their lips twitched.
“It’s really dark!”
Old Zheng couldn't even lift his head. He already had a hunchback, and now his back was even more bent like a shrimp.
Jiang Yue saw blood on Old Zheng's clothes. His sleeves, trouser legs and the hem of his clothes were all torn. She asked Gu Ye, "Were these all bitten by Hu Zi?"
Gu Ye: "Hu Zi only bit his arm, his pants and clothes were torn when he was struggling."
A police officer who was escorting Old Zheng said, "Fortunately, he wore thick clothes in winter, otherwise one of his arms would be useless!"
Peng Weiguo said: "Hu Zi was showing mercy, otherwise even if the clothes were thick, Hu Zi would have been able to bite through them!"
When Old Zheng heard this, he shuddered suddenly.
The course of events is very clear. Old Zheng raised the rent, but Jiang Yue refused and moved to another store. So Old Zheng held a grudge and wanted to sabotage Jiang Yue's new store.
But Old Zheng had the desire but not the courage to do so. He usually just dared to hang around nearby. Until last week, he was drinking at a relative's house until midnight. On his way back, he happened to pass by a clothing store. He picked up some leaves and waste paper from the roadside, took out matches from his pocket, went to the door of the store, struck a few matches, lit the scraps of paper and stuffed them into the crack of the door.
Old Zheng cursed, "I told you not to rent my house. I've run out of money to drink these past few months. I'm going to burn down your shabby shop!"
As a result, Aunt Yang, who had gotten up at night, discovered something was wrong and ran out to scold him, which scared Old Zheng away.
Old Zheng didn't show up in the next few days because he drank that night, was exposed to cold wind, and was scared sober. He collapsed as soon as he got home and had a high fever for several days. He only got better the day before yesterday. He couldn't get over this, so he found some old newspapers at home and sneaked to the door of the clothing store again early this morning and set it on fire.
What Old Zheng didn't expect was that just as he was about to stuff the newspaper into the door, he heard a dog barking very loudly and non-stop. He wanted to run away, but then he thought that he was already here, and the dog was locked up and couldn't bite him, so he insisted on stuffing the newspaper in, and also struck several matches to stuff them in.
What he didn't expect was that the door suddenly opened, and a big dog that was almost as big as his chest suddenly pounced on him, scaring him so much that he ran away, but how could a skinny old man like him run faster than a big dog? He didn't run a few meters before the big dog bit his arm and he fell to the ground, howling miserably...
Old Zheng was detained for arson, so naturally there are laws to punish him.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye said goodbye to Director Shen and walked out of the Public Security Bureau. Gu Ye said to Jiang Yue, "There is one more thing I want to tell you!"
"Um?"
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, "Hao Fugui sent people to smash the store in the provincial capital last night!"
Before Jiang Yue could react, Lian Rongrong covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Wang Weixu had heard what happened from Gu Ye last night. After returning home, he asked Lian Rongrong in detail about what happened. He hated the Han sisters and the Hao family behind the Han family.
"Gu Tuan, sister-in-law, is that Hao guy so lawless? Are we going to suffer this loss?"
"Who said we're going to suffer in silence?" Jiang Yue raised the corners of his lips and narrowed his eyes. "Good job! I was afraid he wouldn't smash it!"
Wang Weixu: “…”
He looked at Lian Rongrong, then at Jiang Yue and Gu Ye, obviously not understanding why Jiang Yue said that.
Lian Rongrong winked at Wang Weixu, indicating that she would talk to him later.
"Has the person been caught?" Jiang Yue asked Gu Ye again.
"They've all been caught!" Gu Ye also curled his lips slightly. He had guessed yesterday that Hao Fugui would not be able to find them and would definitely take it out on the clothing store, so in the afternoon, they took some effort to move all the valuable clothes and things in the clothing store to a safe place.
Of course, some clothes were left in the clothing store, otherwise how could I ask Hao Fugui for compensation later?
At this time, we can see the power of Gu Ye's powerful network of contacts. In Jiang Yue's words, Gu Ye just made a phone call and asked a few people to come over and wait outside the clothing store, waiting for Hao Fugui's men to come and smash the store, and then catch them in the trap.
Now Gu Ye's people have gone to negotiate with Hao Fugui, but Hao Fugui is used to being domineering, and there is no one he is afraid of in the provincial capital. He admitted that it was he who sent people to smash the store, but arrogantly asked Gu Ye to meet him in person, and proposed that as long as Gu Ye personally came to apologize to Han Yao and agreed to divorce and marry Han Yao, he would not bother with him.
Not only did they smash the store, but they also asked Gu Ye to come and apologize, and even proposed a divorce. Gu Ye's friends were all infuriated by this shamelessness.
These were all told to Gu Ye by Gu Ye's people who called him early in the morning. However, Gu Ye only told them that the store was smashed. He did not tell Jiang Yue about Hao Fugui asking him to divorce.
Gu Ye thinks that people from the Hao and Han families are mentally ill!
"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Yue asked Gu Ye.
"Wait!" Gu Ye didn't say specifically what he was waiting for, but Jiang Yue understood.
The Hao family has been operating in the provincial capital for several years with the protection of the man in Beijing. Both their connections and prestige are deeply rooted and cannot be opposed by just a few words.
Wang Weixu and Lian Rongrong both thought that what Gu Ye meant by "waiting" was waiting for the Hao family to come and cause trouble, and Lian Rongrong was very nervous.
"If they come, Wang Weixu, can you defeat them alone?"
“Will they come here and smash the store?”
"How dare they come to Qingshan County and act so arrogantly? When our troops are stationed here, they just eat and do nothing?" Wang Weixu was very dissatisfied with Lian Rongrong for doubting his ability.
