Cao Limin fell silent.
In fact, from the moment Yun Dazheng began to mention that the matter involved Black Panther, he had already begun to weigh the options in his mind. While the promise from that influential person was certainly tempting, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and it would be extremely unwise to offend Black Panther.
Putting everything else aside, he will be staying in Qingping County for at least several more years. If he really angers Black Panther, it will be a small matter if his work is difficult to carry out, but I'm afraid... that guy is ruthless and vicious.
But if he really doesn't do anything about it... he might offend the important person and Cao Limin might not get any benefit in return.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Limin couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
I thought it was just taking care of a farm girl, nothing difficult at all, but who knew it would involve Black Panther, the local tyrant of Qingping County...
But that doesn't make sense. Black Panther's family is huge and powerful. If he really made things difficult for an old man and a child from the countryside for the sake of his men, wouldn't he lose face? Besides, a hundred yuan might be the savings a family has accumulated over many years for a rural person, but it's not even worth much to Black Panther.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Limin felt that the old man from the countryside had probably been fooled. With that thought, he felt much more at ease and immediately smiled at Yun Dazheng, saying, "Uncle Yun, don't worry. Tell me the whole story, in detail, so I can know how it happened."
Yun Dazheng nodded hurriedly and said cautiously, "Yes, County Magistrate, the matter is like this..."
Yun Dazheng recounted the whole story, and at the end, he apologized to Cao Limin: "County Magistrate, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have troubled you with this kind of thing, but as you know, we really can't come up with that much money. Our son is unreliable, and he's an outsider with no proper relatives. We can't even borrow from him. We really... have no other choice."
"We are sorry for the trouble we have caused you. Please forgive us this time. Thank you, thank you a thousand times over."
Hearing Yun Dazheng's words, Cao Limin became even more worried. It turned out that the matter also involved the old lady from the Black Panther family.
Although Black Panther is ruthless, he is also a truly filial son. Unless the old lady herself says she will not pursue the matter any further, even if he intervenes, it is unlikely to end well.
but……
Thinking of the old lady from the Black Panther family, Cao Limin's eyes lit up. He called out to his secretary, "Secretary Yang, come in here for a moment."
Less than half a minute later, Cao Limin's secretary, Yang Deyou, walked in.
It was the same person who had led Yun Dazheng and Yun Duo to the lounge earlier.
"County Magistrate, did you call me?" Yang Deyou asked respectfully as soon as he entered.
Cao Limin instructed, "Hurry up and go to my house. Tell Du Ling to come here immediately. Tell her it's extremely urgent. Tell her to drop everything she's doing right now, understand?"
"Yes, I'll go right away." Yang Deyou quickly replied, then hurriedly left and turned to leave in a hurry.
After Yang Deyou left, Cao Limin smiled and explained to Yun Dazheng, "As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Since the matter was caused by that old lady from the Black Panther family, only the old lady herself can persuade Black Panther to give up on this matter."
"So, I'll have my wife take Xiaoyunduo to visit the old lady later. Xiaoyunduo will explain this matter to the old lady. The old lady is a kind person, she won't make things difficult for you."
Yun Dazheng was naturally extremely grateful, and Yun Duo was also full of thanks.
