Chapter 428: Wiping Out the Pyramid Scheme Gang
"Messing with women?" Several people were a bit puzzled, looking left and right, not knowing who did it.
Ye Cheng looked at the five people before him, unhurriedly stretched out his hand, and made a "come here" gesture toward the outside.
Now he didn't dare to whistle; if he drove these people to desperation, before Song Zhiyong even showed up, he might get killed by them.
"No, it's not these few; they said it was an extremely lecherous man." Ye Cheng shook his head and said.
"That's Old Xia; this guy loves toying with women." One of the people said.
"And he still hasn't come back yet."
"Yes, that's him."
After a few people discussed it, since it wasn't any of those present, it must be Xia Guangliang.
Xia Guangliang never expected it, even if beaten to death—he was sitting in prison when a pot fell from the sky.
Zhang Jiusen had been wondering why he couldn't reach Xia Guangliang, whether it was because the police had arrested him; now he understood—he must have gone off to mess with young girls.
"Um, brother, rest assured, when he comes back, I'll immediately tie him up and bring him to you; you can kill or cut him as you wish—just let me go first?"
"Yes, yes, first release our boss, and everything else can be discussed."
At this moment, Ye Cheng suddenly gave a strange smile, then pointed at Da Niu.
"I recognize you—it's you!"
Da Niu was stunned, pointing at himself.
"Me? I've never gone out; you can't wrongly accuse me."
"I'm not talking about you, the big oaf; I mean the one behind you." Ye Cheng gestured backward.
"Behind?" Several people turned to look.
Holy shit!
Police!
When did so many police show up!
"Police comrade, save me, I've been taken hostage." Zhang Jiusen still thought they had come to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhiyong shouted loudly,
"Cuff them all!"
Then seven or eight people rushed from behind, pressing everyone present to the ground and cuffing them.
"No, police comrade, we're doing business; it was him who broke in and kidnapped our boss."
"Right, you've arrested the wrong people."
Several people hadn't reacted yet, still crying injustice there.
Song Zhiyong walked straight up, took Zhang Jiusen from Ye Cheng's hand, then cuffed him with a backhand, and said solemnly,
"Zhang Jiusen, we now suspect you're involved in that pyramid scheme case; come back with us to assist the investigation."
As soon as Song Zhiyong mentioned the pyramid scheme case, everyone present was stunned, they lifted their heads to look at Ye Cheng,
"You're a police officer too?"
"No, I'm a fisherman, a genuine one." Ye Cheng said calmly.
Zhang Jiusen let out a long sigh to the heavens,
"Good heavens, if I'd known the fishermen of Donghai Shi were this cunning, we wouldn't have come here—you... you still count as a fisherman?"
Ye Cheng:...
Song Zhiyong:...
"Ye Cheng, he seems to be cursing you." Song Zhiyong teased.
"We're not being cunning; we have strong self-protection awareness! You police uncle don't even know why to clear our name." Ye Cheng looked speechless.
Song Zhiyong pressed hard on Zhang Jiusen, then looked at Ye Cheng, pursing his lips,
"Actually, what he said isn't wrong; you are quite cunning, you've lured several fraudsters together, and I've never found arresting people this easy before—next time I'll call on you."
"Go to hell! I'm a fisherman, not a police officer!" Ye Cheng protested.
By the time they returned to the police station, it was already 10 p. m.
Just as they arrived at the police station gate, Ye Cheng suddenly saw a figure loitering at the entrance.
"Stop!" Ye Cheng shouted.
Song Zhiyong stopped the vehicle and asked,
"What's up?"
"A buddy of mine came over; I guess he's looking for me—bring him in too."
Ye Cheng was about to roll down the car window, then shouted loudly,
"Xiao Hu!"
The figure at the entrance immediately ran over, looking anxious,
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Ye Cheng let him get in the car, followed him into the police station, then asked,
"How did you come? Anything happening in the village?"
"Nothing major, the Chen family just kicked up a fuss, that's all; mainly your older brother and sister-in-law were a bit worried about you, so they sent me to check on you."
"Hmm, then wait for me; I'll be able to head back soon."
On this side, Song Zhiyong began interrogating; besides their gang, there were also those attending the brainwashing classes—many people—and he had no time to deal with Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng originally wanted to take He Feiyang back tonight, but Song Zhiyong disagreed; some procedures weren't finished, likely taking two or three days.
However, he also promised that He Feiyang would be fine; as soon as he could be picked up, he would call immediately.
Before leaving, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu went together to see He Feiyang once.
He Feiyang, upon seeing familiar people, immediately lunged from inside and began pleading,
"Brother Cheng, Brother Xiao Hu, save me, save me ah, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail ah."
I'll change, I'll change in the future, isn't that okay?
Tell the police to let me go out, ah.
Ye Cheng lightly patted his shoulder,
"Feiyang, don't worry, I've already talked to the police, you'll be fine, but you need to stay here for two days, cooperate with the investigation and then it's over, just two days."
Upon hearing he was fine, He Feiyang felt a bit relieved,
"Brother Cheng, am I really okay? Really just two days?"
Xiao Hu let out a cold snort from the side and interjected,
"Pay more attention, my brother found many people to protect you and even went himself to capture that gang, his hands got injured."
Only then did He Feiyang notice some scars on Ye Cheng's face, from when he was beaten twice while capturing Zhang Jiusen.
"Brother Cheng, you..." He Feiyang felt a bit moved.
"Alright, stay put, I'll go back and tell your parents."
After comforting He Feiyang a few words, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu each rode a motorcycle back to the village.
Most people in the village were already asleep, with only a few scattered lights.
Just as Ye Cheng rode up to his own doorstep, he saw that the main light at home was still on.
"Brother, I guess it's your older brother and Qian Shen and them," Xiao Hu said.
Ye Cheng rode over and saw that indeed, three people rushed out—his older brother and Qian Shen and her husband, while his sister-in-law was probably at home with the child.
"A Cheng, where's Feiyang? Where's Feiyang?" Qian Shen looked anxiously, straining to look behind, but didn't see her son.
"Uncle, Aunt, Feiyang still needs to cooperate with the investigation for two days. But rest assured, that gang has been caught; he just needs to finish his part, and I'll go pick him up in about two days."
"Still two days? Is he going to jail?" Qian Shen felt a bit dizzy, her blood pressure unsteady; Old He quickly stepped behind to support her, then looked at Ye Cheng pitifully,
"A Cheng, will my Feiyang end up with a criminal record?"
"Uncle, Aunt, rest assured, there won't be a criminal record, I've checked." Ye Cheng softened his tone,
"Moreover, I've greeted the police and arranged a separate room for him, just one person, so no one will bully him."
