Chapter 125 Monkey
Interrogation room of Changdu Town Public Security Bureau.
An incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling, illuminating the police officer in charge of the interrogation and Yu Chengping, who was hiding in the shadows with his head lowered.
"Yu Chengping, tell me everything you've done!"
"A year ago, the old director retired, and I received a call from Qu Zhi from the Qu family. He promised to promote me and let me take the position of director of the Public Security Bureau smoothly." At this point, Yu Chengping swallowed his saliva to relieve the dryness in his throat.
Sitting opposite him and interrogating him were two of his subordinates.
They were wearing police uniforms and looked at him righteously.
Yu Chengping shrank back like a mouse suddenly exposed to the sun before saying, "Qu Zhi wants me to get rid of Jiang Chen from Dahe Village."
"I originally thought this was a simple matter." Yu Chengping's tone was filled with resentment. "Who would have thought that Jiang Chen was notoriously difficult to deal with, with so many people following him. Wang Meng couldn't find a chance to strike, and it dragged on for a whole year."
The interrogating police officer asked in confusion, "You didn't get the job done, so didn't Qu Zhi contact you to urge you?"
Yu Chengping is an old fox. Since he failed to accomplish his goal, he was afraid that Qu Zhi would remove him from the position of director of the Public Security Bureau. Naturally, he contacted Qu Zhi, hoping to buy peace with money.
"I told him to give him 70% of the money Wang Meng gave me and I would take 30%. He agreed immediately."
"When he agreed, I was so happy. I thought it was a leverage I had over him. If he ever tried to harm me in the future, I could use it to drag him down with me." Yu Chengping's expression wasn't happy at this point, but rather angrier. "I didn't expect that the next day, Qu Zhi said he didn't want the money and wouldn't take my place. He hasn't contacted me since."
He turned his head to look at the transparent glass and said coldly, "I don't have any evidence against Qu Zhi. It's useless to use me against him. Just give up."
"This old fox."
Jiang Weiguo, who was behind the one-way glass, heard Yu Chengping's words and cursed angrily.
He turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Do you believe what he said?"
Jiang Chen's narrow eyes raised slightly, and there was a coldness deep in his eyes. He opened his thin lips slightly and said, "Qu Zhi is very smart. He doesn't leave any evidence when he does things."
What's more, he has an expert behind him to guide him.
"Why did Qu Zhi attack you?" Jiang Weiguo knew the Qu family and knew that as long as Old Man Qu was around, no one could touch the Qu family. To mess with the Qu family was like messing with a behemoth.
Jiang Chen knew, but he didn't plan to tell Jiang Weiguo.
"I'll give you a great reward." Jiang Chen's lips curved deeper, and he said lazily, "There's an illegal mine in Xishan District."
Jiang Weiguo's eyes widened immediately, and he breathed rapidly, "Are you serious?"
Jiang Chen said lazily, "Why would I lie to you?"
He put his hands in his pockets and left, turning his back to Jiang Weiguo and saying leisurely, "I'll give you four words: act quickly."
Jiang Weiguo didn't bother to ask him where he got the news, and shouted, "Assemble!"

"Brother Jiang, this kid wants to see you."
Zhou Liang and Meng Guan came in with a thin young man.
The young man was extremely thin, probably due to malnutrition, and his hair turned slightly yellow in the sunlight.
"He is the monkey, the one who let Wang Meng escape." Meng Guan reminded.
Jiang Chen sat on the table, his long legs hanging down, playing with the mahogany box in his hands, and asked coldly: "Why do you want to see me?"
The monkey knelt down in front of Jiang Chen.
Meng Guan and Zhou Liang were shocked.
Jiang Chen's face was expressionless. He glanced at the monkey as if he was looking at a dead object.
The monkey didn't dare to play any tricks and said honestly, "Brother Jiang, my sister was kidnapped. I let Wang Meng go because I wanted to follow him to find my sister."
Jiang Chen bent one leg and placed it on the table, resting his wrist on his knee. He said lazily, "Even if you follow Wang Meng, you won't be able to find your sister."
"But Wang Meng promised me."
"Idiot." Jiang Chen's tone was as cold as iron: "Wang Meng sells young men like you to the mines, and young women to the inland mountains, or to the red-light districts of big cities via sea freight."
"When a person is sold, it's like a drop of water merging into the ocean. How can you find him?"
The monkey raised his head and said firmly, "I'm not afraid. No matter how long it takes, I will find my sister."
Zhou Liang also has a younger sister. He was originally annoyed with Monkey, but now he was moved and couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang, let's help him."
Jiang Chen glanced at Zhou Liang coldly.
Zhou Liang immediately shut up.
"Send him to Chiang Kai-shek."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Monkey was confused.
Meng Guan stepped forward and pulled him out.
Monkey thought Jiang Chen didn't want to help him, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Jiang, please help me, please!"
Zhou Liang covered his mouth, and the three of them went out the door entangled.
As soon as he left the house, Meng Guan explained, "Wang Meng is in the hands of Mayor Jiang. He will definitely tell you where the people were sold to. You need to find your sister. It's useless to look for Brother Jiang. Mayor Jiang can help you."
The monkey nodded repeatedly after listening.
He looked at Meng Guan and Zhou Liang and said solemnly, "Thank you, and thank you Brother Jiang. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."
Meng Guan was disgusted by the boy's chattering and wanted to send him away, but he didn't take his words to heart at all.
Zhou Liang, who was standing by, was very moved and kept encouraging the monkey.
Meng Guan was speechless after hearing this.
After finishing his business in the town, Jiang Chen rushed back to Dahe Village.
As soon as we entered the village, we went straight to the clinic.
When I pushed the door open, there was only Old Man Liu inside, and Ye Rou was not there.
When he saw him, Old Man Liu rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Jiang Chen ignored him and asked coldly, "Where's Ye Rou?"
Doctor Liu told Jiang Chen what happened in the afternoon.
Before he could finish, Jiang Chen ran away immediately after hearing that Ye Rou had gone to the bullpen.
"You little bastard, I'm not finished yet!"
Dr. Liu yelled at him angrily.
Jiang Chen pretended not to hear and ran straight to the bullpen.
"Xiao Rou, is there anything wrong with this photo?" Zheng Xiu looked at Ye Rou who was holding the photo motionlessly.
Ye Rou shook her head. She was worried about how to tell Mr. Zheng that Zheng Li had died and had experienced so many tragic things.
Ye Rou held the photo and frowned worriedly.
Jiang Chen pushed the door open and came in. Seeing him, Ye Rou asked in surprise, "Have you finished dealing with the things in town?"
"Um."
Jiang Chen walked up and took Ye Rou's hand, while putting his other hand in his pocket, trying to take out the red box.
"I have something to tell you." Ye Rou grabbed his hand, said something to her aunt, and walked out.
Jiang Chen paused in taking out his things and let Ye Rou pull him out.
"What's wrong?" He lowered his voice and spoke in a gentle tone.
Ye Rou frowned, took out the photo and handed it to Jiang Chen, and briefly explained the matter to him.
Jiang Chen held the photo and looked at it. The black and white photo was old, but because it was well preserved, he could just barely make out the face of the person in it.
The girl standing in the second row does look a lot like Ye Rou.
Ye Rou worriedly asked, "If Mr. Zheng knew that Zheng Li was dead, would his body be able to handle it?"
"Don't underestimate that old man. He will hold on even for you." Jiang Chen took Ye Rou's hand and led her to the cowshed where the four old men lived.
The closer Ye Rou got to the cowshed, the faster her heart beat.
