During this special period, we must break the "Four Olds" – old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits.
Apart from Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, most traditional festivals have been cancelled, including the Ghost Festival.
However, a culture that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be abolished so easily, especially in rural areas where there are always ways to circumvent policies.
As long as it's not excessive, the brigade cadres usually turn a blind eye.
In Dongfeng Commune, many brigades secretly went up the mountain to worship and burn incense.
The team members wouldn't do something like reporting others; that would make everyone hate them, and it would harm others without benefiting themselves.
Even if someone gets caught, the commune will at most give them a reprimand or education, and in serious cases, send them to a study class for a month.
Many people from Baihe Brigade had already gone up the mountain to pay their respects in July.
There are quite a few people like Yu Yao who are right on the official date.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Yu Yao, along with Lu Ze and two police officers, deliberately went around to the east end of the village and up the mountain.
When they were almost at their destination, Lei Gong'an, who was impersonating Yu Yao, went to pay his respects.
Yu Yao, Lu Ze, and the young policeman surnamed Lei went to hide in the shadows and cooperate with other police officers in the operation.
In the shadows, Mei Laosan's men kept their eyes glued to the man in the straw raincoat standing in front of the grave.
“Brother Xiong, the build is similar, and she’s wearing a palm leaf raincoat, so it must be Yu Yao. There’s no mistake this time.”
Brother Xiong looked serious, his gaze falling on the fake Yu Yao: "Don't make a move yet, something feels off. Hold your position."
Yu Yao and her group also remained still, patiently waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Xiong Ge and his group waited for ten minutes until Lei Gong'an finished his prayers.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Xiong's men couldn't wait any longer. "Brother Xiong, if we don't make a move soon, he'll get away. Is there a trap?"
Brother Xiong was also somewhat hesitant. He wasn't sure either, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Since just now, I've felt like someone is watching me from the shadows, but I haven't found anything unusual when I look closely. Maybe I'm just too nervous."
This time they seized a lot of valuable goods, which they transported from the southern province all the way to the Qin province, and almost got caught by the police several times.
Being too nervous can also create illusions.
Upon hearing this, the others became somewhat nervous: "Brother Xiong, should we still arrest Yu Yao?"
In this kind of high-risk, high-reward business, intuition is paramount; it can often be a lifesaver.
Even if it's just an illusion, it's better to avoid trouble.
Besides, they already have plenty of hostages, so there's no need for them to risk everything for Yu Yao.
Brother Xiong glanced reluctantly in the direction of the grave and said to his men, "Stop capturing them, retreat."
His subordinate looked at him in surprise: "A top-quality like this might sell for a thousand. Are you really not going to arrest him?"
A thousand! Even if everyone gets a little, it's still a considerable sum. It would be such a waste to let it go like this.
"Stop arguing and get out of here."
Brother Xiong also felt it was a pity, but he was still uneasy, so to be on the safe side, he had no choice but to give up.
The remaining men looked ahead and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
The police officers who were lying in ambush had already noticed Brother Xiong and his group.
As soon as the traffickers made a move, they were immediately surrounded by armed police.
"Don't move! Hands up!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, some of Xiong Ge's men surrendered.
But there are always a few ruthless characters with blood on their hands who know that being caught means certain death and fight back.
In particular, the ringleader, Brother Xiong, was a skilled martial artist.
Lu Ze pulled Yu Yao behind a tree and said, "Wait for me here, don't come out. I'm going to help."
Yu Yao nodded: "Okay, be careful."
Lu Ze was incredibly fast, and his punches landed squarely. When he dealt with Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong was quickly put on the defensive.
Yu Yao hid behind a tree and peeked out.
In the lush green forest, the polyester shirts and trousers did not hinder the men's performance at all.
He was like a wolf in the jungle, striking directly at vital points with every move.
A powerful and wild force.
Her agile movements, beautiful muscle lines, and even the faint blue veins on her palms exude a unique sexiness.
Yu Yao's eyes lit up.
Only Yu Yao, who has also trained in boxing, can understand how powerful and sexy, with boundless charm, she possesses.
With Lu Ze joining the effort, the few human traffickers who put up a stubborn resistance were quickly subdued.
Seeing that the human traffickers had been arrested, Yu Yao came out from behind the tree to join them.
Just then, an accident occurred.
Xiong, who had been obediently being held by the police, suddenly sprang into action, snatched the gun from the policeman's waist, and pounced on Yu Yao.
"You bitch, you're the one who's Yu Yao!" Brother Xiong's eyes were bloodshot; he knew he'd fallen into a trap.
He hated Yu Yao to the core.
If the boss hadn't promised Li Weibing to arrest her, they wouldn't have been ambushed.
If he can't survive, he'll take her down with him to be buried with him.
"careful!"
The other police officers shouted, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Yu Yao.
Brother Xiong's sudden attack was so unexpected that no one thought he would still have the strength to escape. He was also very close to Yu Yao, so everyone thought that Yu Yao was in grave danger.
Lu Ze felt a pang of panic for the first time.
Those dark eyes were filled with a storm; he was far from Yu Yao and couldn't get there in time.
Almost instinctively, he grabbed a police baton from the officer next to him and smashed it at Brother Xiong.
At the same time, Yu Yao gave Xiong Ge a harmless smile as he pounced on her.
"Go on."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were two loud thuds, and Brother Xiong flew out and crashed into a tree trunk next to him.
He also received a hard blow to the face with a police baton, and his head was buzzing.
Brother Bear: ? ? ?
Police officers: !!!
Seeing that Yu Yao was alright, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and a fleeting look of joy appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yu Yao.
