Zou Peng turned to look at Zhu Manli and Tian Yao and said coldly, "You two, follow Officer Wu to the police station. We still need your cooperation in the investigation of the theft at the Chen family!"
The three members of the Tian family hung their heads as they were led by Officer Wu to the police car parked at the main gate of Villa No. 8.
Zhang Meiling looked at the three men from behind, spat in relief, and muttered, "Serves them right." The onlookers also pointed fingers at the three, expressing their disdain for their character. Remembering Tian Yao's earlier accusations against the man who vandalized the camera, and his subsequent defense after learning the truth, everyone present felt a pang of irony—others were being shameless, while their own children were being 'young'. What a bullshit!
"Wait, Director Zou, I have something else to say—!"
The onlookers gasped: "Wow, there's a twist? This drama could be a melodramatic TV series!"
"Director Zou, I want to sue Tian Xiaofeng for defamation and insult. He has unreasonably damaged my reputation, denigrated my character, and caused irreparable mental harm to me and my family! I want to hold him accountable and demand compensation for my emotional losses!"
"What! Damn, this Tian Xiaofeng is so evil, what did he say?"
Zou Peng no longer cared about his identity as a people's policeman. He was so angry that he cursed. If there weren't so many onlookers, he would have wanted to slap Tian Xiaofeng in the face!
Officer Wu had not walked far when he stopped after hearing Qingshan's words, and pulled Tian Xiaofeng back, waiting for the next words.
Everyone was craning their necks, waiting for Qingshan to continue his plea, when an angry male voice boomed from the back of the crowd, "Who is so audacious as to slander and defame a senior military advisor and his family? Deputy Director Zou, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. The perpetrators must be held accountable and justice done to Advisor Chen!"
Hearing the voice, the crowd automatically made way for him, waiting to see who the newcomer was. But when they saw who it was, all the onlookers were shocked.
Wow! Isn't this the top official in Lian City? Even Lian is here. This Chen family is incredibly well-connected. Just now, Mayor Qiu mentioned "Advisor Chen." Could it be that Chen Jianguo's true identity is a senior military advisor? No wonder Old Chen wears work clothes every day and carries a tattered faux leather bag. It turns out it's all a deliberate disguise! My old swan, if this is true, those gossipers have really stirred up a hornet's nest!
Luo Wenyuan didn't have the phone number of the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and even if he did, he was too lazy to contact him, so he called Luo Zhentian directly and complained to his grandfather, saying that the son of a deputy director of a jurisdiction dared to go to the Chen family to steal things, and was still arrogant after being caught. He was probably used to bullying the Chen family.
When Luo Zhentian heard that his relative had been humiliated, he was so angry that he made a direct call to Ning Province and gave Zhao Gaoguan a severe scolding. He ordered him to send someone to deal with the matter from the Chen family immediately and to catch the thief who stole the things and punish him severely.
Zhao Gaoguan, a former soldier under Mr. Luo, knew Luo Zhentian's temper. Seeing that he was truly furious, he didn't dare to neglect him. He hurried to Lian City by car. On the way, he called Qiu Hongcai and briefly explained the situation to him, asking him to handle it first and he would arrive later.
On the phone, Zhao Gaoguan scolded Qiu Hongcai in a harsh and serious tone, blaming him for not doing a good job in resettling the Chen family, which led to such a big mistake. The only way now was to make up for it as much as possible and give the Chen family and Colonel Luo a satisfactory result, otherwise both of them would suffer.
Qiu Hongcai hung up the phone in great fear. He was sweating even in the coldest weather. He was so scared that he cursed the thief's ancestors for eight generations, but still felt unsatisfied. He quickly took his secretary and drove to Villa No. 8.
