Yuan Chengzhu seemed a little nervous when faced with Yuan Fangguo's questions.
"I, I fell in my hometown."
"Hometown?" Yuan Fangguo frowned. "Dad, when did you go back to your hometown?"
Yuan Chengzhu was stunned, his mind began to become a little confused, he squatted on the ground with a look of pain on his face, holding his head tightly, and it took him a while to stand up.
“I can’t remember some of it clearly.”
Seeing his father looking a little strange, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but look at him. It rained last night, and if his father hadn't accidentally fallen, there would definitely be mud stains on his body. However, after a careful observation just now, he didn't find any mud stains on his father, which made him very strange.
Considering that his father had a head injury and looked like he had a concussion, Yuan Fangguo did not ask any further questions.
Lying in bed at night, the more Yuan Fangguo thought about this matter, the more he felt something was wrong. From the abnormal production of Coptis chinensis from the beginning to the injury to his father's head, he vaguely felt that it was really possible that the Coptis chinensis business was monopolized by someone, as he had guessed before, and his father must have been injured in a dispute with them.
The next day, Yuan Fangguo took his father to the hospital to change the medicine.
When he asked the doctor privately, the doctor told him that the wound on Yuan Chengzhu's head was not caused by a fall, but by being hit with a blunt object.
After hearing this, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. It was exactly as he had guessed.
However, he did not ask his father immediately. Instead, he asked about Qi La when he returned to the car after changing the medicine.
Yuan Chengzhu saw that he could no longer hide the truth, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
It turned out that Yuan Chengzhu had also asked the grower with whom he had a good relationship on the mountain yesterday. At first, the grower was reluctant to tell the truth, but when he saw that the price offered by Yuan Chengzhu was also high, he also told the truth.
It turns out that all this was the work of Wang Duwa, a man in the county.
Wang Duwa's relative is a leader of the county public security bureau. This person is notorious in Dabei County and can do anything. When he was young, he stole and cheated people. After he got older and started a family, he began to monopolize the sand and coal mines in the county. Now Dabei City is carrying out comprehensive environmental governance and has closed down many unlicensed sand and gravel plants and coal mines. Wang Duwa and his gang have lost their largest source of income and turned their attention to the Coptis chinensis industry.
Dabei County is a major agricultural county for growing Coptis chinensis in the province and even in the country. In recent years, the Coptis chinensis business has also been booming. As long as you want to do it and have enough space at home to store Coptis chinensis, it is no problem to make tens of thousands of dollars a year. Moreover, this business is easy, unlike other businesses that are very tiring.
Wang Duwa and his gang took advantage of this characteristic, so they threatened the Coptis chinensis growers and did not allow them to sell the Coptis chinensis to others.
They not only threatened the Coptis chinensis growers, but also threatened and intimidated some buyers.
Yesterday, Yuan Chengzhu's good friend happened to have a bag of dried Coptis chinensis in his hand. Seeing that the price offered by Yuan Fangguo was two or three yuan higher than that offered by Wang Duwa and his gang, he was tempted and sold it to Yuan Chengzhu immediately.
Yuan Chengzhu was discovered by Wang Duwa's lackeys as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain while carrying the bag of Coptis chinensis from the top of the mountain.
Immediately, the gangster wanted to confiscate the bag of Coptis chinensis.
Yuan Chengzhu naturally refused to do it, and the verbal dispute between the two sides turned into a physical conflict. Yuan Chengzhu was alone and weak, so he was naturally no match for those thugs.
After hearing his father's words, Yuan Fangguo was not too angry. He comforted his father and told him not to purchase Huanglian until the matter was resolved.
After listening to his advice, Yuan Chengzhu quickly nodded.
After changing the medicine at the hospital, Yuan Fangguo took his father directly back home.
I just got home and didn't even have a sip of water when I heard a chaotic noise outside.
When he went out, he saw five aggressive young men jumping out of a Santana sedan. These guys were waving sticks and knives, looking like they were not to be messed with.
"Who are you looking for?" Yuan Fangguo had probably figured out about 70% of the answer in his mind, and it must be Wang Duwa's men.
"Is this Yuan Chengzhu's home?" A young man who was about 1.6 meters tall asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Yes." Yuan Fangguo nodded.
"Call him out." The young man waved the machete in his hand.
"What do you want?"
"He stole our business, and this matter must be made clear."
"Well, he's not home right now. Let's find a place to meet up this afternoon. Who's the boss?"
"It's me." A scar could be vaguely seen on the short young man's face.
"Where's your boss?"
"My boss doesn't care about you, who are you?" the young man asked arrogantly.
"Go back and tell your boss that my name is Yuan Fangguo. If you have anything to say, we can meet in the afternoon." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"You are Yuan Chengzhu's son, right?" The young man realized it.
"Yes, I am his son."
"Judging from your tone, you want to have a fight? Right?" the young man snorted coldly.
"I just want to resolve this matter normally. The fight has nothing to do with me. Please tell your boss, Wang Duwa, what I just said to you."
In fact, Yuan Fangguo didn't know Wang Duwawa. He just heard the male classmates talk about this old gangster when he was in school. The reason why he told this young man was mainly because he felt it was too embarrassing to talk to him and he couldn't afford to lose face.
"Okay, let's meet at Nanhe Bridge this afternoon." The young man grinned, then waved the machete in his hand and left with a few of his lackeys.
Yuan Fangguo watched these thugs leave before returning to the house.
"Are they coming?" Yuan Chengzhu became a little nervous. He secretly regretted in his heart that if he had known earlier, he would not have purchased the Coptis chinensis yesterday and offended Wang Duwawa's people.
"It's okay, I sent them away, Dad. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"Boss, don't be tough with Wang Duwa and the others. He is a gangster." Yuan Chengzhu persuaded and educated him.
"I know my limits, you don't have to worry." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"Okay." Seeing his son had the same expression and answer from beginning to end, Yuan Chengzhu couldn't help but sigh.
Yuan Fangguo’s solution was simple: call the police.
A high school classmate of mine works at the county public security bureau after graduating from the police academy.
However, Yuan Fangguo did not reveal that this incident was related to Wang Duwa, because Wang Duwa's relative was still working in the county public security bureau.
