Chapter 104: Was being caught... a sting operation?
Xiao Zhao has been having a headache lately. Cai Bao is a bit stubborn. He stops talking to him and even moves to the office dormitory, far away from him.
In order to make Caibao surrender, he wrote a letter to Caibao's leader, stating that Caibao had spoken without thinking in private and attacked the entire leadership team.
Caibao's leader was a coward and immediately reported the situation to Director Yuan. However, Director Yuan was not a fool. He believed that one-sided statements should not be believed and did not comment on the matter for the time being.
However, Caibao had already received the news and was very angry. When the commotion broke out at the sugar factory, Caibao blocked Xiao Zhao's way and refused to let him go over to help.
Xiao Zhao wasn't angry either; he seemed to be perpetually smiling. He placed his hand on Cai Bao's shoulder, looking innocent. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Cai Bao didn't answer, but raised his hand and punched Xiao Zhao in the nose.
Xiao Zhao was completely unprepared. He staggered back several steps and hit his body against the wall before he stopped.
Xiao Zhao didn't wipe the blood from his nose, but continued to smile: "Good, good fight! Two more times?"
Caibao had exactly this in mind. His parents would never betray their friends until their death. He couldn't say that the disciple was better than the master, but at least he couldn't lose the integrity of his parents.
As a real man, he has some sense of responsibility.
With a cold face, he walked up to Xiao Zhao and grabbed his collar, wanting to hit him a few more times.
At this time, someone from the sugar factory came and asked Xiao Zhao to think of a solution in a hurry because his cousin was in trouble.
Xiao Zhao, who always had a smiling face, showed a rare look of surprise and confusion. He pushed the vegetable bag away and asked quickly, "What happened?"
The messenger gave a brief explanation and Xiao Zhao hurried to follow, wanting to see if there was any room for maneuver, but Cai Bao stopped him.
The grudge between the two of them hadn't been settled yet! Xiao Zhao suppressed his smile and punched back.
What a joke, he has been relying on his uncle's support all these years to survive so comfortably, and now that his uncle is in trouble, he can't just sit back and do nothing.
When he was angry, he didn't care about maintaining his image as a good person who loves to smile.
It's just an act anyway.
It turned out that Caibao had been on guard against him. He turned his head to avoid his attack, grabbed his arm, pulled it, and then gave Xiao Zhao a beautiful knee strike in the stomach.
The severe pain made Xiao Zhao's face grim. He hunched his body, staring at the broken bricks on the ground. Pretending to bend over in pain, he fell to the ground and just pressed down on the bricks.
Caibao was furious and wanted to hit Xiao Zhao a few more times. He leaned over, grabbed Xiao Zhao's collar, and threw a punch, but was dodged. Furious, Xiao Zhao used all his strength and hit him with a brick.
With a thud, the two fell to the ground. Xiao Zhao was pinned down by the unconscious Cai Bao and quickly shouted, "Help me."
After standing up, he kicked Caibao twice again. A smile bloomed on his face again. He clapped his hands and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, a stone hit his neck. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The employee who delivered the message didn't know who was hiding in the dark, so he turned around and ran away in fear.
After a long while, Zhang Wang jumped down from the tree, shook Caibao, and found that there was bleeding on the back of Caibao's head.
Guessing that Xiao Zhao would not wake up for a while, Zhang Wang hurried away to call the police.
The person on duty at the police station went to the sugar factory, but there was no one there, so he had to go to the Public Security Bureau.
When Xiao Sun and his colleagues arrived, the two men were still lying on the ground.
Hurry up, send him to the hospital.
Judging from the scene and the injuries of the two men, Zhang Wang, who reported the case, did not lie, and his statement that the slingshot hit his neck also matched.
Xiao Sun already had a rough idea in his mind, but he was not sure why these two people started fighting.
Xiao Sun warned Zhang Wang: "Go back first and don't run around. Someone will come find you if anything happens."
Zhang Wang asked, "Does this count as a brave act? Will they arrest me?"
Xiao Sun puffed on a cigarette. "So far, it seems so. You've prevented the continued harm. But we still have to wait for them to wake up and conduct further investigations. Go back and wait for news."
Zhang Wang agreed, but did not leave, worried that Xiao Zhao would run away in the middle of the night.
So he went to the tree in front of the hospital and continued squatting.
After a night, Xiao Zhao woke up and was fine, but Cai Bao was still in a coma.
Xiao Sun lit another cigarette to refresh himself. When he came out, Xiao Zhao followed behind him with a pair of cold "bracelets" on his hands.
Zhang Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the police left, he quickly jumped down from the tree and went to report to Xie Dayou.
Xie Dayou pondered for a moment and said, "You go to sleep for a while. I'm going to the Public Security Bureau."
He is an old revolutionary with countless military achievements, big and small. As long as he reveals his identity, not only Yang Shuming but even Director Sun will have to be polite to him.
So in response to his request, Director Sun agreed immediately.
After the people left, Yang Shuming asked, "Isn't this against the procedures?"
Director Sun was also helpless. Xie Dayou said that Xiao Zhao needed to go out again to lure the fish into the trap.
As for what kind of fish it was, Xie Dayou refused to say.
He could only suggest, "Then think of a way. Let Xiao Zhao slip away on his own. You arrange for people to watch him secretly. Once Xie Dayou gets the fish he wants, immediately capture him."
Haha, this matter is like catching a spy.
Okay, Yang Shuming went back and conveyed Director Sun’s instructions to Xiao Sun.
Xiao Sun was quick-witted and came up with an idea right away.
He did not interrogate Xiao Zhao, but locked him in the interrogation room until almost noon, then he brought a plate of food over, removed the handcuffs, and let Xiao Zhao eat first.
I closed the door when I went out, but didn't lock it.
Like a careless idiot.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Xiao Zhao had the idea of running away. He hurried to eat and waited for a while. When no one came, he quietly slipped out.
I had no idea that there were already spies at the door of the Public Security Bureau.
Soon, he ran to the sugar factory dormitory to ask his uncle for advice on how to deal with the situation. His uncle was like a walking corpse, with no light in his eyes and sighing.
Factory Director Zhao sighed silently. "Early this morning, Director Yuan's decision came down. Once I've completed my resignation paperwork, I'll pack up and leave."
"Then... the financial sponsor..." Xiao Zhao whispered, "Will they abandon us?"
Director Zhao shook his head. "They'll definitely abandon me, but it's unlikely they'll abandon you. If we ask someone else for help, what if you betray them? Unless they kill you, which is impossible. They've been keeping a low profile lately and wouldn't dare do that."
Xiao Zhao felt relieved and asked, "Then...should I contact them directly from now on?"
Director Zhao smiled bitterly. "Do you still need to ask? Here, this is the contact's address. When you need money, find her."
"What about you?" Xiao Zhao still had feelings for this uncle and couldn't bear to see him leave.
Director Zhao said helplessly: "I'm going back to the countryside. I'll rely on you from now on. If my family runs out of money, please support me."
"Don't worry, uncle!" Xiao Zhao said with tears in his eyes.
After leaving the sugar factory, I went to the address on the note.
She is a woman in Xicheng.
Xiao Zhao was quite surprised: "Are you the person who contacted my uncle?"
The woman pulled him into the house, looked around, and made sure no one was following her before closing the door and going into the house.
She picked up the phone and called a man: "He's here, let him talk."
Xiao Zhao quickly grabbed the microphone: "Hello, I am——"
The man on the other side spoke with a Northeastern accent, very calmly and in a deep voice, asking, "It doesn't matter who you are. I just want to ask you, does Yao not know of my existence?"
"I don't know." Xiao Zhao quickly promised, "I promise, if I lie, I will die a miserable death."
"It doesn't matter whether you live or die, just don't harm me. The mission will continue, and the treatment will remain the same. Call me every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7 p.m. to report on the situation."
"Okay." Xiao Zhao wanted to say something, but the person on the other end had already hung up.
The woman dialed another number, and Xiao Zhao wrote it down so that he could call it himself at the supply and marketing cooperative in the future.
This time the accent was from Guangdong, and the words were pretty much the same, but the reporting time was every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9 p.m.
Oh, they came separately.
Xiao Zhao agreed, hung up the phone, and asked the woman for money.
The woman was quite straightforward. She gave him five hundred yuan and asked him to keep a low profile and not cause trouble or create problems for her.
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, how can I bear to cause trouble for you."
The woman was very happy and hit him on the chest.
She asked him to hold her down and asked with a smile, "Sister, are you reluctant to let me go?"
The woman quickly pushed him away: "Get out of here!"
Xiao Zhao took the money and hurried to find his uncle to save his uncle from having a hard time.
As soon as he handed the money to his uncle, the nephew and his uncle were arrested together.
Because Director Zhao has not completed the formalities yet, accepting money now would be considered bribery!
He looked at his nephew in shock: "Did you do this on purpose? You brought the police here on purpose? You're trying to harm me!"
"I don't have it!" Xiao Zhao was extremely anxious. What was going on? How come the police came at such a coincidence?
Could it be... a sting operation?
It’s over, completely over!
Xiao Sun returned to the Public Security Bureau and reported the situation to Yang Shuming: "That woman is the wife of the director of the thermal power plant. Her surname is Ye. I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on her, but there is no reason to arrest her at the moment. Let's see what information I can pry out from the Zhao uncle and nephew."
Yang Shuming admired the boy very much. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done. You go and interrogate him. If it doesn't work, I'll take over."

Yao Zhizhi had a headache all night and didn't know how to talk to Yang Shuming.
Is she going to talk about the system? That person is a bit old-fashioned, and she might even be suspected of having a mental problem.
Did he follow San Ge's lead and say he saw a ghost? That was a joke. The police needed evidence when arresting people, so supernatural powers were obviously not a consideration.
Then we can only arrange someone to keep an eye on Dispatcher Chen.
But this is a murderer! Being a stalker is also dangerous!
So much so that she sighed all morning in the office.
Qi Changxiao had come up with an idea and came over to discuss it with her: "How about writing an anonymous letter of complaint?"
Yao Zhizhi's eyes lit up: "Is it possible? Let's go back and ask our mother."
"Ask now." Qi Changxiao picked up the phone and called the police station directly.
Tang Fengyuan replied, "Of course you can, but you have to be detailed and specific, with solid clues. After all, the criminal police have to follow rules and regulations when arresting people. When they receive anonymous letters, they have to go through the process, investigate, verify, and only arrest people when there's solid evidence. If you just give a name without a specific incident, it's useless."
That's all in vain.
Qi Changxiao hung up the phone, feeling a headache. Maybe... he had no choice but to take a risk.
"I'll go meet him, pretending to ask Li Wu something, to see when his bad luck will come."
Yao Zhizhi didn't dare to risk his life and refused.
The two were in a stalemate and were pulling each other when the phone rang.
Yao Weihua called from home: "Little sister, come back soon, I have a way to keep an eye on Dispatcher Chen!"
