Chapter 338: Deputy Township Head Li: What Right Does Baiyun Village Have to Come Looking for Me?

What's wrong? We have difficulties, can't we go to the government?

Good heavens, we're this old, we come to the government to raise issues, and the government still wants to beat us?

The government is beating people!!!

The government is beating people!!!

The government is beating people!!!

Several old people shouted together, scaring the several security guards away.

Several old folks couldn't communicate, so they could only look toward Zhang Guafu,

"Auntie, you tell them to stop shouting."

Zhang Guafu looked at the several security guards and shook her head,

"They said they wanted to raise issues and asked me to bring them here; I don't know anything."

Alright.

Four old folks, one idiot.

It left the gate security guards dumbfounded.

No choice, could only go in and call for a leader.

The one who came was a minor official in charge of security; after trying to persuade, there was no effect at all.

As more and more people gathered at the gate, unable to be driven away, the minor official became anxious,

"Alright, who exactly are you looking for? Just say it."

The several old people then changed their slogan,

"We want to find Deputy Township Head Li; he selected our village chief, and the village chief is exploiting us, so we're looking for him."

The minor official, helpless, could only rush inside.

Poor Deputy Township Head Li, who was just sitting in his office drinking tea, when disaster struck from out of the blue!

"What? Baiyun Village? What right does Baiyun Village have to look for me?" Upon hearing Baiyun Village, Deputy Township Head Li's face darkened.

"Just a few days ago the previous incident passed, and now they've come straight to our door."

"Deputy Li, I also can't help it; after all the talking, they insist on finding you. They say you selected their village chief, so they're looking for you."

"Bullshit!" Deputy Township Head Li slammed his hand on the table with a bang.

Damn it!

"Choosing the village chief is done by your village itself; I'm merely a supervisor, just a supervisor!!!"

"And then there's that damned Chen Jinhai, damn it, he has no ability at all."

"Such a huge loophole appeared at the election scene; fine, now there are people coming to play this trick, right?"

"I think you shouldn't even stay as village chief."

Although they say it's unrelated to me, they specifically requested to see me, so Deputy Township Head Li is also helpless.

All he could do was adjust his mood and follow the minor official out.

Looking at the crowd gathered at the gate, Deputy Township Head Li even felt like killing,

"Why don't you disperse the people yet."

"Leader, we can't drive them away; we have to invite these few elders inside." The minor official was also helpless.

With so many people, who dares to use force? This could cause a major incident.

Deputy Li naturally also knew the seriousness; he could only go out with a friendly face: "Sirs, madams, my surname is Li, I'm the township's deputy head. You're looking for me, right? Let's go inside to talk; it's too hot outside."

"Yes, it's you; you came last time for the election, and the sirs and madams are looking for you." Zhang Guafu said with an honest expression.

"Auntie, like this, invite the sirs and madams inside, and we'll talk in there."

Zhang Guafu ignored his words and instead shouted, "Leader, I'm really just helping them find the way; they came on their own—you won't arrest me after I go in, will you?"

Hearing Zhang Guafu's words, the onlooking crowd of melon-eaters began to laugh.

"Who knows? You're just a young one—if not you, who else would we arrest? Are we going to arrest a bunch of 80‑year‑olds?"

"Go in, then—once you're in, we'll arrest you."

Deputy Township Head Li's facial muscles twitched; "Damn it, all this blunt talk—he's exactly thinking that."

"Alright, now that it's out in the open, he naturally wouldn't dare."

"Auntie, rest assured—I know you're just showing the way; you just need to help me get them inside, it's nothing to do with you."

"Oh, Leader, you keep your word, everyone's watching—don't deceive me, an illiterate rural woman."

"Well, damn it, that's a big hat being put on."

"Rest assured, I guarantee it to you."

Upon hearing Deputy Township Head Li's guarantee, Zhang Guafu secretly thought, "It's still Ye Cheng who thought things through thoroughly, wanting me to play the ignorant woman."

Zhang Guafu then told the four old folks, and the four of them tremblingly held up their banners, showing them off a bit, before going inside.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse—there's nothing to see." The gate security started to drive people away.

Seeing the people taken inside, the others had nothing to watch, so they naturally dispersed as well.

"Have Liu Jin come over, find out exactly who gave the order—this impact is too bad, must be severely punished!"

"Okay, Leader, I'll call right away."

After giving those instructions, Deputy Township Head Li then went inside, wanting to hear what trouble that damned Chen Jinhai had stirred up for him again.

Our miserable Chief Liu had just gone to mediate a fight when he received a call from the township; the more he listened, the darker his face became.

"What is this?"

"A collective response issue."

"Alright, I can't escape responsibility either."

He didn't say another word, Liu Jin waved his hand, and drove the police car straight toward Baiyun Village.

This place might not be peaceful.

He had a vague feeling that this matter was probably related to Ye Cheng.

Because ever since Ye Cheng suddenly became motivated, all the fights and brawls in the village were caused by him.

Also, the thing about raising crayfish, he failed to pull it off and was looked down upon by the leader.

Damn it, wait — if it's really you, I'll definitely give you a lesson.

Under the big tree at the entrance of Baiyun Village.

At some point, a bunch of bored people gathered again.

When the police car drove into the village, the people under the tree all stopped and looked at the car.

The police car entering the village surely meant no good; it was just a matter of who would be unlucky.

Chief Liu casually glanced at that bunch of bored people, then suddenly narrowed his eyes.

It's Ye Cheng!

Ye Cheng was also standing under the tree, leisurely watching him.

Based on his years of experience solving cases, this was highly abnormal.

He got straight out of the car and walked over.

Seeing Chief Liu walk over, the crowd stirred — could the person they wanted to arrest be among them?

Ye Cheng stood calmly in the crowd, not stepping out, just watching Chief Liu to see what he could do.

"Ye Cheng, you're here too." Chief Liu casually greeted him and began to probe.

"Yeah, I've got nothing to do, just chatting with everyone here — we've been talking all afternoon." Ye Cheng said unhurriedly.

"You've been here all afternoon?" Liu Jin frowned; if they'd just bumped into each other it could be coincidence, but spending the whole afternoon here was too much of a coincidence.

"Hmm, Chief Liu, anything up?"

"Oh, nothing, carry on."

Having said that, Liu Jin actually turned around and got back into the car.

Ye Cheng frowned in the crowd, feeling something was off — he realized he might have underestimated them.

After all, they'd been police for many years, while his own experience in wrongdoing wasn't rich; it seemed they had seen through him.

But even if they'd figured it out, without evidence Liu Jin could do nothing to him.
