Chapter 424: Refund the money! Refund the money!

~7 min read 1,291 words

Chen Jinfa walked out with a regretful expression.

What are you shouting about? Your family just had an accident.

Oh dear, something really happened—He Feiyang was taken away by the police, and I guess your money was taken away too; the person who came was the one who had been watching the excitement earlier.

"What? The police took him away?" Chen Jinfa was stunned, then he immediately reacted.

Why didn't you stop them? My money!

The person who came looked speechless, "Let me stop the police? I'm just full and bored."

Well, anyway I'm here to tell you this, and add one more thing: it was Ye Cheng who brought the police to arrest people; you decide what to do.

After saying that, the person ran off; he still had to tell others, because keeping such a big thing from everyone would weigh on his mind.

Soon, everyone in the village knew: Ye Cheng had brought the police to take He Feiyang away.

Now it's gotten bad—people who had already spent money on the product panicked and crowded into Qian Shen's house to ask what was happening.

"Old He, what's going on? Feiyang—did they really take him away?" Chen Jinhai also rushed over; he had already sold two and was planning to sell more.

However, he hadn't bought that so-called welfare thing, and he kept feeling that what Ye Cheng said actually made some sense.

Moreover, 40,000 seemed like a lot, and he felt a bit uneasy about it.

As for Jinfa, I don't know why he could come up with 40,000—even if he'd sold his boat, it wouldn't be enough.

Old He and Qian Shen, the couple, watched as so many villagers blocked the doorway, their hearts burning with anxiety.

Old He clasped his hands and said,

"Village Chief, elders and folks, we don't know either—the police came and took him away."

Chen Jinli stepped forward, pointing at Old He, and said,

"What about our money? The money we paid for the product?"

He had bought one from Chen Jinhai, was getting ready to make big plans, and suddenly felt everything snap.

When money was mentioned, Qian Shen stepped forward, pointing at several people, and said,

"Your money bought the product—our Feiyang gave you the product, the transaction is settled; why are you still coming to us?"

"Bullshit! What about the subsequent commission?" Chen Jinli flew into a rage.

"That's between you and that company; it has nothing to do with our Feiyang." Qian Shen said, feeling a bit guilty.

"I don't care—I bought it from Feiyang, so he's responsible; otherwise, refund the money."

"Right! Refund the money! Refund the money!" a crowd shouted.

They were still arguing when suddenly the crowd was pushed aside, and Chen Jinfa rushed in, his eyes bloodshot, roaring at Old He and the other person,

"Damn! Where's my 40,000? My 40,000 dollars?"

40,000—he had earned it as rebates from buying and selling boats twice, plus his usual savings; he'd put it all in.

This was his entire net worth; now hearing that Feiyang had been arrested, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If this money were gone, his life would be over.

Seeing Chen Jinfa like that, Qian Shen couldn't help but step back two paces, pointing at Chen Jinfa and saying,

"Jinfa, don't get worked up—your money hasn't been used to buy anything yet; it was taken away together with the police."

"I don't care!" Chen Jinfa flung his arms, sat down domineeringly, "I'm coming to you for money! If you don't give it, I'm not leaving today."

Those who had put up 40,000 also sat down, insisting the couple refund the money at all costs.

Qian Shen didn't have that much money; in the end, feeling helpless, she could only say,

"Why are you only coming after us? If you're able, go find Ye Cheng—he's the one who filed the report."

"Our Feiyang—" Qian Shen broke off, unable to hold back her tears.

"Our Feiyang has been taken to the police station, and we don't know what's happening to him—why are you coming to us?"

The people in the room listened to Qian Shen's sobs, and the atmosphere grew a little awkward.

Speaking of which, Feiyang seems to be a victim as well.

On the other hand, this Ye Cheng reported them and got them arrested—he really should be the one you go after.

"We'll find Ye Cheng, and you can't escape either—you took the money." Chen Jinfa now cared only about the money.

Seeing Chen Jinfa's stubbornness, Qian Shen also started to act unreasonably,

"No money? Then take my life!"

Saying that, Qian Shen lowered her head and charged at Chen Jinfa,

"Come on, come on—kill me if you dare!"

This village woman, acting unreasonably, Chen Jinfa couldn't stand up to her—after all, it wouldn't look good to hit a woman in front of everyone.

He could only stand up and step to the side,

"Stop acting like scoundrels—bottom line, this matter isn't over."

After a while, everyone gathered but still had no result, so they could only disperse for now.

Among them, the most anxious was Chen Jinfa; the others were fine—most had only bought one unit, which came to about 4,000 dollars.

Chen Jinfa had 40,000—how could that be the same?

The more Chen Jinfa thought about it, the angrier he got; his eyes shifted, and he headed toward the dock.

As for Ye Cheng, he returned to the police station together with Song Zhiyong.

Originally Song Zhiyong had told him to go home first, but he insisted on staying, mainly to protect Feiyang—Zhou Zu Hai had promised that, so he had to keep an eye on him.

If they really sent Feiyang in, Qian Shen would turn against him.

Xia Guangliang and Feiyang were separated for interrogation; Feiyang's side was quick, finished in less than an hour.

When he was brought out, Feiyang looked at Ye Cheng with a complex expression, not knowing what to say.

Ye Cheng went up and asked the interrogating officer a question; everyone knew Ye Cheng's connections, and the officer didn't hide anything from him.

He Feiyang was brought into the MLM organization while working in the south; according to his words, he had already sold one unit there.

Everyone there was a migrant worker—who would buy anything? This time, back in the village, he sold quite a few, but it doesn't count as organized MLM; at most it's just participation in MLM.

Hearing that, Ye Cheng felt much more at ease; the difference between participating in MLM and organized MLM is huge, and according to his understanding, he's basically in the clear.

Xia Guangliang's side was also swift—I don't know what method Song Zhiyong used, but in under an hour and a half, Song Zhiyong had already come out.

"Everyone gather, prepare to make the arrests!" Song Zhiyong called out to the office, and immediately everyone stood up, grabbed their gear, and started running out.

"Captain Song, have you found their leader?"

"He's already confessed—their MLM group has seven members in total, the boss is Zhang Jiusen; we're moving in to arrest them now, and if you're not needed you can head back first." Song Zhiyong said as he walked out.

"No, Captain Song—can He Feiyang go now?" Ye Cheng hurried after him.

"He can't leave yet; we have to wait until we've caught everyone, and besides, what he's saying is only one side of the story—we also need to hear what the others have to say."

From Song Zhiyong's tone, He Feiyang won't be leaving today.

Ye Cheng glanced at the time—it was already past six in the evening, and the sky was beginning to darken.
