Xiao Yuheng didn't really care whether he went or not, since it wasn't his own business. He just needed to know that Uncle Xu wouldn't get away with it.
But Xu Nian was a party involved in the incident. Thinking of the hatred in the child's eyes when he talked about that family, he still waved to Xu Nian and asked, "The operation is tonight. Do you want to go to the scene?"
Xu Nian nodded without hesitation, "I'll go."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng nodded to Lao Zhou, "What time and where? I'll take him there."
Such operations should not involve outsiders, since if the other party does not cooperate and interferes with the operation, allowing those people to escape in the chaos, they will have to bear the responsibility.
But since it was Xiao Yuheng who said this, he was still quite reassured.
"It's fine to take him along, but he mustn't make any noise that might interfere with the operation; he can only watch from a distance."
Xu Nian nodded decisively, "Don't worry, I will definitely just watch, not say or do anything, and follow your orders."
"OK."
Old Zhou left the time and address and then left.
Once everyone went upstairs, they asked Old Zhou about his purpose. They heard that Uncle Xu was going to steal products from the factory again tonight and resell them. Everyone agreed with his courage, saying he was truly fearless.
"Mom and Dad, I want to go to the scene. I want to see him arrested with my own eyes. Will you think I'm a bad person?"
Xu Wan was also afraid that her new parents would have a bad impression of them, so she quickly explained for Xu Nian, "My brother did it all for me. Several times, if it weren't for my brother, I would have died."
She lifted her clothes, revealing old scars as well as newer ones, which instantly brought tears to everyone's eyes.
"Damn it! How could they treat a child like that?"
Only Xu Wan didn't cry. "I know they don't want me to live. If I die in an accident, they won't have to support me and can keep having jobs and houses. My brother has suffered a lot for me. He's not a bad person; he just wants to protect me."
The village chief's wife hugged Xu Wan tightly. "Xiao Wan, be good. We won't make wild guesses based on what you did. You are good children, and you must have your own reasons for what you did."
Seeing everyone looking at her with unwavering eyes, Xu Wan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't cry. My brother and I are married now, which is a good thing."
Her understanding and maturity far surpass those of children her age.
Wang Laonian patted Xu Nian on the shoulder, "Do whatever you want. We'll wait for you here. Be careful."
He actually wanted to go with them, but he knew that such an action was of great importance. His son was able to go there because of Xiao Yuheng, and if he went along, he would only be causing trouble for others.
Xu Nian nodded, left Xu Wan at the guesthouse, and then left with Xiao Yuheng.
When they arrived, the place had already been ambushed, and all that was left was for those audacious people to walk right into the trap.
Xu Nian held his breath and stood ready, not even moving when mosquitoes bit him.
Half an hour later, footsteps began to sound, and someone was heading towards the dilapidated house.
Those two people weren't Uncle Xu; they seemed to be the buyers.
No one moved; countless eyes watched the two anxiously waiting in the dilapidated house.
"What's wrong with this person! It's already past the agreed time."
The younger man had barely spoken when the other man chimed in, “What’s your rush! We need a lot this time, he definitely won’t be able to get it out so quickly.”
Sure enough, after waiting for another ten minutes or so, footsteps were heard again. This time, not only the two people who were waiting, but also the other people who were lying in ambush were excited.
We're finally going to catch someone; we won't have to feed the mosquitoes here anymore.
"Why are you so late?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Uncle Xu wasn't the only one who came; he brought his son along, along with a cart full of belongings.
"You suddenly need so many things this time, I have to prepare them."
Uncle Xu wasn't exactly known for his good temper, and besides, he saw both sides as being in the same boat, so his attitude was rather lukewarm.
"Why do we need fabric at such a last minute? The fabric factories are really tight on control these days. You have no idea how hard it is to get this little bit of fabric. The price has to go up."
“I already raised the price for you last time, and now you’re saying this again? Do you think my money grows on trees? It’s still the same price as last time. If you don’t want to sell, take it back.”
There are few people in this line of work who are easy to bully. Uncle Xu didn't expect that just because he wanted to earn more money, the other party would show an attitude of quitting. He could only say again, "Raise it a little. We almost got caught when we came out today. We are risking our lives to do this. You should at least give us some hard-earned money."
While the two sides were still negotiating the price, Old Zhou made a gesture, and the people lying in ambush nearby rushed forward, shouting, "Don't move!"
Upon hearing the sound, Uncle Xu knew he was in trouble. He abandoned the cartload of goods and tried to run away with his son, but they were no match for the well-prepared police officers. The four of them, along with the entire cartload of goods, were left standing there.
At that moment, Uncle Xu knew he was finished!
Not only is he finished, but his son is finished, and the entire Xu family's main branch is finished.
"Dad, what should I do? I don't want to die!"
What could Uncle Xu say? He could only watch helplessly as his son cried and wailed.
That night, the leaders of the soap factory and the fabric factory couldn't sleep. They were awakened in the middle of the night by knocking on the door. When they arrived at the police station, they learned that the factory had been robbed, and this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
After understanding the situation, Director Yang and the unfortunate Director Sun exchanged a glance, both seeing anger in each other's eyes, and immediately returned to the factory to begin their investigation.
Meanwhile, Xu Nian had already returned to the soap factory's residential compound with Xu Wan. Lying in the dilapidated storage room, he felt more at peace than ever before.
They had barely lain down when there was a knock on the Xu family's door.
When Aunt Xu and Xu Qi impatiently got up to open the door, they saw several factory leaders with two policemen, looking at them expressionlessly.
Although they weren't among those arrested today, as family members, they were still questioned. Xu Wan and Xu Nian were also taken away with them.
Xu Qi and her daughter were terrified. Of course they knew what their husband (father) had done, but how could they admit it at this time? They could only insist that they knew nothing about the situation.
Xu Nian and Xu Wan were the same; they answered obediently when asked anything, but when asked about Uncle Xu's reselling of public property, they shook their heads and said they didn't know.
“Officer, they are not nice to my brother and sister. Uncle Yang knows about this. So why would they tell us about this?”
In the end, Xu Qi and her daughter, along with Xu Nian and his sister, were released. As soon as they stepped out of the police station, Xu Qi began to curse and even tried to slap them, saying, "It's all because of you two bastards! Otherwise, how could my dad and brother have gotten into trouble?"
