"Alright, what are you all doing standing here like night owls, still not asleep at this hour?"
"You have to work tomorrow. If you're not energetic enough because you didn't get enough sleep, don't blame me for deducting your work points!"
The captain frowned, shouting and waving his hands to drive away the crowd gathered outside the door.
His piercing gaze swept across every face, and those who had been whispering and gossiping fell silent and scattered like birds.
"Chenchen, Chenhang, you two will keep watch at the brigade headquarters tonight. Make sure you keep a close eye on these two and don't let them escape in the chaos."
"We'll escort them to the police station first thing tomorrow morning." After giving the instructions with a serious expression, the captain turned and strode back to his room to rest.
Subsequently, a group of people escorted the two suspects, who were bound hand and foot, to the brigade headquarters.
They bound the two men's hands and feet tightly together, the ropes so tight they almost dug into their flesh.
Not only that, but to prevent them from shouting, their mouths were stuffed with rags, leaving only a pair of terrified eyes darting around outside.
"Ah Chen, I'll take a nap first, I'll relieve you later tonight," Chen Hang said to Chen Chen after carefully checking the ropes binding him and confirming that everything was in order.
"Okay, no problem, you can go and rest without worry." Chenchen nodded in agreement.
However, Qiangzi and the other person, who were tied up, did not give up their idea of escaping.
They kept twisting and turning, trying to break free of their restraints, but no matter how hard they tried, it was all in vain.
Time ticked by, and as dawn approached, despair filled their hearts, and their eyes became dull and lifeless.
The captain, wearing only a coat, rushed over. "How is he? Is there anything unusual?" he asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hang sprang up from his seat like a spring. He strode over to the captain and loudly addressed him.
"Captain, don't worry! Those guys are all tied up tightly, so tightly that they can't even move a finger. They're staying there obediently right now!"
The captain nodded in satisfaction after hearing Shen Hang's words, a relieved smile appearing on his face. Then, he cleared his throat and spoke to Shen Hang and Shen Chen.
“Well done! I just contacted the police station by phone from the brigade headquarters. They should be here around 9 o’clock to take these two people back.”
There are still more than three hours left. You need to hang in there a little longer. Once the police take the person away, you can go home and get some rest.
"This time, you'll each get 10 work points." After saying that, the team leader stepped forward and gently patted Shen Hang and Shen Chen on the shoulder to show encouragement and affirmation.
"Okay, thank you, Captain!" Shen Hang and Shen Chen replied in unison, their voices loud and firm.
Their faces beamed with joy. Being recognized by the brigade leader and receiving corresponding work points was undoubtedly a very happy thing for them.
After giving a few more instructions, the captain turned and left the brigade headquarters.
At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the early birds were singing merrily on the branches, as if they too were cheering for the arrival of a new day.
Shen Xiaochuan also arrived at the entrance of the brigade headquarters early.
When he saw Shen Hang and Shen Chen guarding there, he couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude.
With a guilty look on his face, he quickly stepped forward and said apologetically to the two of them, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you so much. You've been busy with my family's affairs so late at night, keeping you up all night. I feel really bad about it!"
Seeing this, Shen Hang quickly waved his hand and comforted him with a smile, "Hey, don't be so polite! We've been friends since we were kids in the same village, what's a little thing like this?"
"Besides, the reason the captain didn't have you guarding the place is because he was worried that if you saw those two people make a move, it would be difficult to explain later." Chenchen revealed the captain's intentions.
"Thank you so much! Once this is all over, I'll definitely treat you to a nice meal to express my gratitude."
Shen Xiaochuan spoke to the two people in front of him with a smile and great politeness.
"Haha, sure! We're like brothers, but since you've said that, we won't hold back. We've heard you're really capable, so we're going to rip you off this big meal."
As Shen Hang spoke, he deliberately put on a greedy look, and his tone was extremely exaggerated.
"No problem! As long as everyone is happy and satisfied with the meal, that's fine. Maybe I can even catch a few pheasants or rabbits on the mountain to add some delicious dishes to our table," Shen Xiaochuan assured, patting his chest.
And so, the three of them engaged in a relaxed and pleasant chat about the meal, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
After a while, Shen Xiaochuan got up and walked to the door. He gently pushed the door open and saw that the two people outside were leaning tightly together with their eyes closed, probably asleep.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaochuan did not go forward. He simply closed the door gently, turned around, waved to the people inside, and then walked towards his home.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to greet him: "Brother, you're back! How are those two doing now?" Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of curiosity.
“It’s alright, little sister. Those two people have been temporarily detained, and Ah Hang told me that the captain has already called the police, and the police should arrive here around 9 o’clock.”
"Ah Hang and the others are still guarding the entrance of the brigade headquarters." Shen Xiaochuan told his sister everything he knew in one breath.
"Alright, you two siblings, stop chatting there and come eat. We might need to call you over later to get a more detailed understanding of what happened."
Shen Zishan frowned and interrupted the brother and sister who were chatting with a serious expression.
Hearing her father's words, Shen Xiaoxiao mischievously stuck out her tongue and, like a happy little rabbit, quickly ran into the kitchen with light steps, carefully carrying out a bowl of steaming porridge and placing it on the table.
The family sat around the table, enjoying a hearty breakfast.
Everyone ate until their bellies were full and they were completely satisfied.
After the meal, everyone got up and got busy: Shen Zishan and his wife went to work in the fields to earn work points; Shen Xiaoxiao prepared to go up the mountain to collect herbs to prepare for the health center.
