"Alright, let's go!" Li Laosan suppressed his reluctance and pain, turned around and ran towards the exit with his companions and the others. They were all panting heavily, as if they were being chased by evil spirits.
The villagers who originally wanted to stop them were now intimidated by the group's reckless attitude and were unable to block their path for a time.
However, just as this group was about to successfully break through the encirclement, suddenly, a piercing and urgent police siren wailed from afar. This sudden sound was like a bolt from the blue, striking the hearts of everyone present.
Whether it was Li Laosan and his men who were fleeing, or the villagers who were trying to stop them, they all stopped in their tracks upon hearing the siren, their faces showing astonishment.
Mo Youxian and Li Laosan felt as if their hearts had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a strong sense of tension surged into their hearts like a tide.
Their eyes widened, a huge question mark simultaneously flashing through their minds: "Who called the police? How did they arrive so suddenly?!"
Unlike Li Laosan, who was filled with fear, Mo Youxian wasn't as scared, though his brow was still furrowed. He thought to himself, "It's best not to involve the authorities in such a trivial matter. Otherwise, it won't do our Mo Village any good for its reputation." However, since the police were already there, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and figure out how to handle the situation. If all else failed, he might as well just hand the man over; that way, he could have some peace of mind.
At this moment, only Mo Yuan understood perfectly. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted: "Great, great! Gouzi and the others acted quickly enough; at least they didn't mess things up! Judging from the looks of it, it must be Li Jianguo and his group who have arrived. And thanks to the newly built road in the village, the car can drive straight here without any obstacles. If it were like before, the jeep would probably have to obediently park at the east end of the village, and then everyone would have to run to the west end, which would have wasted so much time!"
Now, thanks to the unexpected arrival of this police car, the once noisy and chaotic scene has suddenly become completely silent. Everyone is stunned, looking at each other, utterly at a loss.
Especially Li Laosan and his gang, their faces were as pale as white paper, completely devoid of color.
Just moments ago, they were arrogant and overbearing towards the villagers, and relying on their numbers, they even attempted to break through the encirclement and then swagger away.
However, when the police cars roared in, they instantly wilted like eggplants struck by frost. Their legs, which had been striding confidently, now became weak and powerless, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, each one as fearful and uneasy as a frightened bird.
It's easy to guess that the people in these police cars weren't there to invite them for a leisurely tea and chat, much less to offer them assistance.
This leaves only one possibility: they were specifically targeting them.
As expected, the sirens stopped abruptly, the car doors opened quickly, and several police officers in crisp uniforms filed out. Leading the way was Li Jianguo, whose sharp eyes scanned the surroundings before his gaze settled firmly on Li Laosan and his accomplices, who were wielding weapons.
You see, Mo Youxian and his group all know each other very well. Moreover, a closer look reveals the difference: the others are only holding ordinary shovels and spades, but Li Laosan's group's tools are completely different; they are obviously extraordinary and easy to identify.
Despite this, Li Jianguo remained solemn and righteous as he questioned, "What are you doing? Put down your weapons immediately! Secretary Mo, what exactly happened?!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Youxian didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly quickened his pace, running forward as if afraid of missing any detail. After stopping, Mo Youxian took a deep breath and then began to vividly and embellish the whole story of how Li Laosan and his gang came to the village intending to commit violence and injury.
He gestured animatedly, speaking with great enthusiasm, "Director Li, you must listen to me. Today, Li Laosan and his gang suddenly barged into our village, and their intentions are far from pure! They not only intend to steal our mushroom shed's core technology, but they're also plotting to kidnap people!"
Just as their plot was about to succeed, thankfully we all discovered it in time and rushed over to stop them. Otherwise, Mo Yuan and the others might have been in serious trouble!
Tell me, is there no justice or fairness left here? That's why we implore Director Li, you must uphold justice for us!
"Give these people a thorough interrogation, find out who they are, and why they did such a heinous thing! However, for specific details, you should ask Mo Yuan, after all, he is one of the parties involved, and his knowledge is definitely more comprehensive and detailed than mine."
Mo Youxian knew perfectly well that Mo Yuan and Li Jianguo had an unusual relationship. Therefore, he stopped there, throwing the thorny issue back to Mo Yuan. How this matter would be handled—whether it would be downplayed or thoroughly investigated and severely punished—was entirely up to Mo Yuan.
After listening to Mo Youxian's account, Li Jianguo turned to Mo Yuan and asked him a few more questions about key information. Mo Yuan nodded and then added some important details that Mo Youxian had not mentioned before.
