There are two basins filled with water on the ground.
To verify his suspicions, Tao Jiadong bent down, picked up a basin of water from the ground, and splashed it onto Qian Youliang's face.
"Damn it, who splashed me?" Qian Youliang jumped up and yelled.
Director Wang and Lao Wu were all stunned.
Tao Jiadong remained silent, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Qian Youliang.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
This Qian Youliang is really something. Old Wu and Xiao Tang are arguing with Director Wang, their faces flushed with anger, but Qian Youliang pretends to be drunk, lies down on the ground, and ignores everything.
"I...I...I was drunk just now. I was woken up by being splashed with cold water." Qian Youliang felt his scalp tingle when he saw the surprised looks on everyone's faces, and hurriedly tried to defend himself.
"Qian Youliang, why did you pretend to be drunk? Why did you set fire to the warehouse? What are you trying to cover up?" Director Wang roared.
"Director Wang, what are you talking about? What warehouse fire? I have no recollection of that at all," Qian Youliang feigned ignorance.
In reality, Qian Youliang was cursing Director Wang to death in his heart.
Director Wang, you're always so lazy, just keep being lazy!
Why be so dedicated to checking inventory in the warehouse overnight even without ledgers?
As a result, he was caught red-handed by Director Wang and his gang as soon as he made a move tonight.
Fortunately, Qian Youliang remembered Hu Yong's instructions. If the arson was discovered, he was to feign madness or drunkenness.
Qian Youliang was afraid that if he pretended to be crazy, he would be sent to a mental hospital, so he thought it would be better to pretend to be drunk.
To feign drunkenness, Qian Youliang poured most of a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) over himself.
That's why Qian Youliang only had a little bit of liquor left to start the fire. Thanks to Director Wang and his team's timely intervention, the fire wasn't allowed to spread.
"Fine, you wait and see. I don't believe you'll still say that when we get to the police." Director Wang's face turned a deep purplish-red with anger.
How embarrassing!
That's so embarrassing.
If it weren't for Secretary Tao's intervention, he would still be unaware that Qian Youliang was faking his drunkenness.
Will Secretary Tao think that he, as the director, is too incompetent?
No matter how stubborn Qian Youliang was, he was no match for Jin Xiangyang and his fellow police officers.
Less than three hours after being taken to the police station, Qian Youliang confessed to his crimes in detail.
In an effort to get a reduced sentence, Qian Youliang even sold out Hu Yong and Liang Xiaohe.
Hu Yong was planning to leave Peach Blossom Town early the next morning, but unexpectedly, Jin Xiangyang and his men came to arrest him just as dawn was breaking.
Liang Xiaohe was arrested in the county town.
When she was arrested, Liang Xiaohe was selling hair ties at a stall.
Other stalls sold hair ties for three cents each, but Liang Xiaohe sold them for twenty-five cents. The crowd of people buying hair ties completely surrounded Liang Xiaohe.
Just as Liang Xiaohe was feeling happy, the police arrived.
Liang Xiaohe's hair ties and the more than 1,000 yuan she received from selling hair ties were confiscated as stolen goods and proceeds.
When Liang Xiaohe was arrested, she angrily questioned the police, "Aren't they no longer arresting speculators? There are so many hair tie stalls in the county, why are they only arresting her?"
During the interrogation, Liang Xiaohe learned that Qian Youliang's theft of the warehouse cloth had been exposed, and she hurriedly shifted all the blame onto Qian Youliang and Hu Yong. She claimed that she was only helping Hu Yong and had no idea that the cloth was stolen by Qian Youliang.
Of course, the police couldn't be fooled by Liang Xiaohe's few words.
After extensive investigation and verification, Qian Youliang, Hu Yong, and Liang Xiaohe were all sentenced to prison.
Qian Youliang stole cloth first and then set fire to the warehouse. The circumstances were serious, and he was sentenced to death.
Hu Yong instigated Qian Youliang to commit arson and theft, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Liang Xiaohe was an accomplice and was sentenced to five years.
Zhao Tianyu took two days off to deliver goods to Yanghe City and Panlong City. When he returned, he discovered that the two people he hated most in his life had once again courted death and ended up in prison.
This good news was told to Zhao Tianyu personally by Director Wang.
"Director Wang, you didn't call me here just to talk about this, did you?" Zhao Tianyu asked, somewhat surprised.
"Little Zhao! Actually, there's something I'd like to ask you." Director Wang thought for a moment and said.
"Director Wang, please feel free to give me any instructions. I will do whatever I can. Please don't ask me for anything; I can't accept that." Zhao Tianyu's reply was impeccable.
Zhao Tianyu has finally seen through Director Wang.
Some time ago, Director Wang was afraid that if Hu Yong made a comeback, he would cause trouble for Zhao Tianyu.
Therefore, Director Wang not only dared not get close to Zhao Tianyu, but sometimes even deliberately picked on Zhao Tianyu at work, fearing that Hu Yong would mistake him for Zhao Tianyu's "accomplice."
Now, it's clear that Hu Yong has no chance of turning things around.
Director Wang once again extended an olive branch to Zhao Tianyu.
Unfortunately, Zhao Tianyu had no interest in playing any workplace "palace intrigue" games with Director Wang.
With that time and energy, Zhao Tianyu would rather make more trips to other places to help his sister sell hair ties or buy materials. Wouldn't it be better to make money?
"Xiao Zhao! Only you can help me with this. Please help me, considering I promoted you before." Director Wang grabbed Zhao Tianyu's arm, his tone full of pleading.
Director Wang just received the news last night.
His superiors were very dissatisfied with his work.
Although Qian Youliang, Hu Yong, and Liang Xiaohe were arrested, the missing fabric from the warehouse could not be recovered. Liang Xiaohe had either made hair ties from the fabric or cut it into small strips.
Right now, these "waste materials" are still lying in the corner of the warehouse gathering dust!
Qian Youliang received a total of one hundred yuan from Liang Xiaohe.
Hu Yong accepted 150 yuan from Liang Xiaohe.
Liang Xiaohe went to the county town and sold hair ties for a day and a half, earning 1,400 yuan.
After the police recovered the money, they returned it to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The fabric cost over 8,600 yuan, and with the losses from the fire, there's a deficit of over 7,000 yuan.
The relative who leaked the information to Director Wang said that if Director Wang couldn't find a way to cover the deficit of more than 7,000 yuan, he wouldn't be able to get transferred to a job in the county town, and his position as director would be over.
Director Wang was extremely anxious and didn't sleep well last night.
If the deficit were only a thousand or two thousand yuan, Director Wang could still find a way. He would take out his family's savings accumulated over the years and borrow some from relatives and friends, determined to plug this hole no matter what.
However, Director Wang couldn't possibly come up with such a huge sum of money as seven thousand. Even if he could lend it, he wouldn't dare.
Director Wang only earns forty-odd yuan a month. He'd have to work for over seven thousand yuan for nothing for more than ten years. He might as well retire early!
After explaining his predicament, Director Wang looked at Zhao Tianyu expectantly and asked, "Little Zhao! Here's the thing, can you help me out?"
"You want to borrow money from me? I'm sorry, Director Wang, my family can't afford that much money either," Zhao Tianyu said, shaking his head.
Zhao Tianyu has seven thousand yuan.
But the loss wasn't caused by Zhao Tianyu, so why should he use it to cover Director Wang's deficit?
