"No, how could I dare?" Song Zhiyong shrewdly started brewing tea and then sat down to the side.
"Well, I've got everything done for you. Are you satisfied?" Zhou Zuhai asked Ye Cheng.
"Director Zhou, what are you saying? I trust you to get things done."
"You're really getting too big for your britches," Zhou Zuhai said, pointing at Ye Cheng and laughing.
"That's because you're approachable, boss."
Don't try to put a hat on me.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Zuhai began to speak seriously.
"This time, we owe it all to you to bring them all down in one fell swoop. On behalf of my colleagues at the Municipal Bureau, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"Director Zhou, catching bad guys is what we citizens should do. Besides, they've come all the way to our village, how can I let them get away with this?"
"Yeah, it's their bad luck that they came to your village. If they hadn't come to your village, they probably would have been able to cause trouble for a while longer."
"Oh, and one more thing, I'll hold a meeting later and give you another commendation," Zhou Zuhai said.
"Another piece of paper, Director Zhou. Can't you give us something more substantial? Give us some money or something."
Ye Cheng clearly remembered that in later generations, bounties were often in the tens of thousands, with the highest reaching 200,000.
If I were given some money, at least my efforts wouldn't have been in vain.
"I have no money," Zhou Zuhai said bluntly.
"Your life is mine?" Ye Cheng said, looking at Zhou Zuhai.
"Even if it kills you, hahaha."
After Zhou Zuhai finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Fortunately, the communication with Zhou Zuhai went relatively smoothly.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Zuhai, Song Zhiyong asked Xiao Wang to take another person with him. The two policemen drove a police car, and Ye Cheng took two motorcycles back.
Ye Cheng originally wanted He Feiyang to sit in the police car, since it was a metal car, but the guy refused to sit in the police car no matter what, saying he was afraid that he would be misunderstood again when he went back to the village.
Since he said that, Ye Cheng had no choice but to pull him along himself.
It was only a little past 10 o'clock when we got back to the village.
As soon as the police car entered the village, the villagers curiously gathered around.
These past few days have been anything but peaceful, and now another police car has arrived. Nobody knows what it's for.
Ye Cheng told Xiao Wang and the others to wait while he took He Feiyang back first.
Before I even got to the gate, I saw Aunt Qian and her husband squatting at the entrance of the yard, doing nothing and just spacing out.
Jiang Yunxiang stayed by her side, chatting intermittently.
Upon hearing the roar of the motorcycle, the two immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
When they saw it was Ye Cheng, the two of them instantly craned their necks in excitement.
"Hey, Cheng's back! Cheng's back!"
"Is that Fei Yang sitting in the back?"
"Yes, it's Fei Yang."
"Oh my goodness, my son is finally back."
Aunt Qian was so happy that she burst into tears and stood right at the door crying.
He Feiyang quickly got out of the car, looking at his elderly parents with a guilty expression.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home."
"Quick, let Mom check if you're alright." Aunt Qian stepped forward and pulled He Feiyang around for a moment. Seeing that his arms and legs were fine, she was relieved.
"Hey, Cheng, thank you for your hard work." Old He stepped forward and offered Ye Cheng a cigarette to express his gratitude.
Ye Cheng took it and lit it; at this point, one should accept cigarettes.
"Acheng, come inside quickly, I'll go cook now, you can have lunch at my house." Aunt Qian wiped away her tears and pulled Ye Cheng inside as well.
"Auntie, the police are here too. I still need to help distribute the money to everyone. I'll come over after I finish distributing the money."
"What? The money was refunded?" The group looked at Ye Cheng in surprise. "So fast?"
"Yes, most of it has returned. It's alright now, Auntie, it's all over."
Ye Cheng knew that Aunt Qian and her husband were still worried about the money. After all, the money had been bought from He Feiyang, and if the money was gone, the other party would definitely come after them.
Now that Ye Cheng says he's withdrawn most of the money, if the other party's losses were small, they wouldn't be so persistent in pursuing this matter.
This solved Aunt Qian's biggest worry.
"Sister Qian, you'd better prepare some decent dishes for my Cheng today. He's really put in a lot of effort," Jiang Yunxiang said from the side.
"Absolutely, absolutely," Aunt Qian said, turning to Old He.
"Go and buy a bottle of Maotai. You're allowed to get drunk today."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng realized that Mao Zi was about to be brought up.
Quickly wave your hand,
"No, Auntie, we're just family eating together, what's with all this talk about that?"
Old He was displeased with Ye Cheng's statement.
"Ah Cheng, your aunt is really being generous this time, letting me get drunk. That's rare. Don't say anything more, it's settled then."
After saying that, Old He went to buy wine from Li the Cripple in high spirits.
Ye Cheng hurriedly went back to prepare a refund.
The police car was parked at the village entrance, where it had already been surrounded by a crowd.
"Comrades, what brings you here?"
"Comrade, when can we get our money back?"
A group of people surrounded Xiao Wang and his friends, bombarding them with questions, and Xiao Wang could only answer them for the time being.
"Wait a moment, when Ye Cheng comes over, he will tell you."
This time, Song Zhiyong confessed that everything should be said by Ye Cheng, which was considered a favor to Ye Cheng. Everyone would remember the refund issue by Ye Cheng, and he would get a good result.
"Why are we waiting for Ye Cheng? He's just a fisherman. You're the police, you're the ones who call the shots." Chen Jinfa had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
"Yeah, have you gotten the money back or not? You need to say something."
No matter what others said, Xiao Wang remained silent.
Just then, Chen Jinhai arrived.
Several people immediately spoke to Xiao Wang,
"Well, officer, now that our village chief is here, he can finally talk, right?"
Chen Jinhai stepped forward and said in a serious tone,
"Hello comrade, I am Chen Jinhai, the village head of Baiyun Village. You can talk to me about anything."
Xiao Wang glanced at Chen Jinhai and said in a lukewarm tone,
"Our bureau chief said that the village chief of Baiyun Village is not in his right mind, and we should wait until Ye Cheng is here before discussing anything else."
Chen Jinhai was stunned. This...
Damn it, you shouldn't hit someone in the face.
What kind of lousy leader is this?
However, after glancing at the police uniforms of the two men in front of him, he obediently took a step back, no longer wanting to make a fool of himself.
If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have come all this way; I was just asking for a beating.
"Village chief, please explain it to me again." The group persisted, surrounding Chen Jinhai.
"Say what? What nonsense! If you want to say something, go ahead and say it. Everyone else has already said I'm not thinking straight, didn't you hear them?" Chen Jinhai retorted angrily, shouting loudly so that Xiao Wang and the others could hear.
Xiao Wang didn't care at all; his face remained expressionless. In any case, the director and Captain Song had both told him to listen to Ye Cheng.
In a disciplined force, you should just listen to your superiors.
Seeing that the village chief's arrival was of no use, everyone was at a loss and could only wait there.
