Qian Wenqing moved closer to him, about to speak, when he heard a noise outside.
The two looked at each other, and then Xu Xiangyang went to look out the window first.
Hei Zi and a few others entered the courtyard, looking exhausted.
Xu Xiangyang gestured for him to wait a moment and wait for these people to enter the house first.
Lin Min told them that Xu Xiangyang had come over, but they didn't come into this room. Instead, they tactfully went to another room first.
Xu Xiangyang sat back down and said, "Continue."
Qian Wenqing nodded and said in a low voice, "I found out that it seems to be Mr. Kong who is behind this. I saw the person who reported me go to Mr. Kong's territory."
Because it was quite chaotic that day, several people from their area were arrested. However, he had made arrangements beforehand, giving each family 500 yuan as a token of sympathy, so no one implicated them.
You should know that even if they confess, there's no benefit to them.
Those who were to be transferred to lower levels have all been transferred.
Rather than doing that, it's better to accept the condolence money; that way, the family will have an easier time.
It was indeed someone I had offended before.
Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes, thinking that Kong Deyu was truly shameless. He had lost so many things before, yet he still dared to provoke him.
That makes sense, though, since Kong Deyu didn't know that he was the one who took those things.
There's no need to hold back when dealing with someone like that!
Seeing his gloomy expression, Qian Wenqing cautiously asked, "Brother Xu, are you going to get back at him?"
Although he was quite angry, he didn't dare to take any action because Kong Deyu had considerable influence there.
That's why they've been waiting for Xu Xiangyang to come back and make the decision.
Xu Xiangyang sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Let everyone here go home first. I guess this won't be over in a few days; it might last for a long time before we can sell anything."
This is normal; the leaders haven't left yet, and things are tense right now, so no one dares to make any rash moves.
If they are really caught, none of them will escape.
Qian Wenqing nodded, without saying a word.
After all, he had seen the situation very clearly. Even if he were asked to go, he wouldn't dare.
After leaving the black market, Xu Xiangyang went directly to Kong Deyu's territory.
Even if we don't punish him this time, we'll make him wish he were dead.
...
Two days later, Xu Xiangyang, who had been staying at home, welcomed a guest.
Liao Shichang looked around his simple room and couldn't help but sigh, "Director Xu, you could say this place is quite poor."
This isn't just poverty; it's downright destitute!
The room was empty except for tables, chairs, benches, and a bed.
Even ordinary families need to have something, but he has nothing.
Xu Xiangyang replied with a wry smile, "Chief Liao, please don't make fun of me. Why would I need so much stuff? Enough is enough."
He enjoys his life entirely within that space!
The formerly simple staff dormitory is now furnished with leather sofas and Simmons beds.
I have all the comforts I need, and I haven't compromised on anything.
Liao Shizhang didn't say much; he wasn't here to offer condolences.
"You haven't been to work for the past few days, are you finding it hard to adjust?" he asked casually.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. He hadn't received any notice to go back to work, and there were people watching him outside, so he didn't go to the garment factory.
Liao Shichang glanced at him, then took a sip of water. "Things have mostly settled down recently, except we caught another one who slipped through the net last night. It seems Yuan Shuji will be staying a few more days. I'll go check things out tomorrow. If there are no problems, you can go back to work."
The farce of the past few days should be over. It had nothing to do with Xu Xiangyang in the first place, but they kept harping on it, and no one could say anything about it.
But there was so much going on at the factory, and Guan Qilin called him almost every day, so he had no choice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang's eyes lit up. He wasn't hearing about being asked to go back to work; he had caught a fish that had slipped through the net!
"Chief Liao," he paused for a moment and asked, "What's the situation with that one who slipped through the net? You know I haven't been out for the past few days, so I have no idea what's going on outside."
Of course he didn't go out; in other people's eyes, he was staying at home.
Liao Shizhang didn't mince words and briefly explained the matter.
After all, you can easily find out these things by asking around, and it's good that Xu Xiangyang stayed home and didn't go out, otherwise people would bring it up again.
After listening to him finish speaking, Xu Xiangyang smiled and then remained silent.
It turns out that Kong Deyu was caught red-handed for illegally possessing antiques and some foreign letters.
Of course, someone had to step in to cover it up, otherwise how could they have caught them so quickly?
The person has been arrested and is currently being interrogated.
Unlike Xu Xiangyang, whose crime of stealing chickens and making a living was not a serious offense.
However, Kong Deyu's behavior was extremely serious.
Even if there is a result, the consequences will probably not be good. Eating peanuts is inevitable.
“However…” Liao Shichang changed the subject, looking at him with a meaningful expression.
"That person bit you again, and I reckon someone else will come to talk to you tomorrow."
In fact, Liao Shizhang also couldn't understand why that person would talk about Xu Xiangyang.
And they said all sorts of things, like stealing chickens and making money, whatever they could think of.
Just like arbitrarily accusing Xu Xiangyang, it makes him seem like a madman.
At first, some people believed it, but as the story became more and more outrageous, no one wanted to believe it anymore.
If they don't find any clues after two more days of questioning, they'll probably be dragged out.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Xiangyang's eyes, but he didn't show it. He simply lowered his head and returned to normal in an instant.
He smiled and said, "I don't even know that person. If I hadn't heard you say it today, I really wouldn't know how I offended anyone."
Xu Xiangyang's face was full of a wry smile, a smile that seemed to say he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Liao Shizhang didn't ask any more questions, because he couldn't completely trust Xu Xiangyang either.
However, that person's words were indeed somewhat illogical; they were probably just making baseless accusations, so it's hard to say for sure.
He stood up and said, "Alright, get ready. In a couple of days when things are calmer, I'll have someone call you to start work."
Xu Xiangyang quickly stood up and saw the person out.
"Chief Liao, I'm sorry to have troubled you with my matter." He said apologetically.
Regardless of the circumstances, Liao Shizhang was indeed running around doing all the work.
Moreover, the fact that he was released so easily is probably due to someone else's influence.
If no one takes care of him, Captain Zhang can just lock him up for a month. If nothing happens in the end, he can just say he forgot about it afterward.
Anyway, nobody cares, so they can just shut it down.
Seeing that he understood, Liao Shichang nodded and said, "Just wait for the news and don't worry."
With that, he patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder, then turned and left with his men.
Regardless, Xu Xiangyang was someone he had mentored, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing about how Xu had been treated this way.
