Chapter 434: He Feiyang Returns to the Village

"No, I wouldn't dare." Song Zhiyong, being observant, started making tea and then sat to the side.

"How is it, everything's been taken care of for you, right? Are you satisfied?" Zhou Zu Hai said, looking at Ye Cheng.

"Chief Zhou, hearing you say that, handling things, I'm at ease."

"You, you're getting full of yourself." Zhou Zu Hai pointed at Ye Cheng and laughed.

"That's not because you're approachable as a leader."

"Don't try to flatter me."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Zhou Zu Hai began speaking seriously,

"This time, thanks to you, we managed to catch them all; on behalf of the bureau's comrades, I express my gratitude."

"Chief Zhou, catching bad guys is what we citizens should do; besides, they came to our village, how could I let them go?"

"Yeah, who made them unlucky to go to your village; if they hadn't gone there, they'd probably have been able to jump around a bit longer."

"By the way, I'll hold a meeting later and give you another commendation." Zhou Zu Hai said.

"Another piece of paper, Chief Zhou, can't you give something substantial? Like some money."

Ye Cheng clearly remembered that in his previous life, bounties for nothing were often tens of thousands, with the highest being 200,000.

If they gave some money, at least I wouldn't have worked for nothing.

"No money." Zhou Zu Hai said bluntly.

"Want a life?" Ye Cheng said, looking at Zhou Zu Hai.

"No life either, hahaha."

After Zhou Zu Hai finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Fortunately, communication with Zhou Zu Hai on this side went fairly smoothly.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Zu Hai, Song Zhiyong had Xiao Wang bring another person; two police officers drove a police car, plus Ye Cheng's two motorcycles, heading back.

Originally Ye Cheng wanted He Feiyang to sit in the police car—after all, he's tough—but this guy refused to sit in the police car no matter what, saying he was afraid that returning to the village would cause another misunderstanding.

Since he said that, Ye Cheng could only pull him himself.

Upon returning to the village, it was just past ten.

As soon as the police car entered the village, the villagers gathered around curiously.

These days have been unsettling; now another police car shows up, and nobody knows why it's here.

Ye Cheng told Xiao Wang and the others to wait, and he first took He Feiyang home.

Before he even reached the gate, he saw Qian Shen and her husband squatting at the courtyard door, doing nothing, just staring blankly.

Jiang Yunxiang was also there beside them, chatting intermittently.

Hearing the motorcycle's roar, the two immediately stood up and looked toward the sound.

When they saw it was Ye Cheng, they both instantly stretched their necks in excitement,

"Oh, A Cheng's back, A Cheng's back."

"Is the one sitting behind Feiyang?"

"Yeah, it's Feiyang."

"Oh my dear mother, my son has finally come back."

Qian Shen, overjoyed to tears, stood at the door and started crying.

He Feiyang quickly got off the vehicle, looking at his elderly parents with a guilty expression.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back."

"Quick, let Mom see if you're alright." Qian Shen stepped forward, pulling He Feiyang around in a circle; seeing his arms and legs were fine, she finally relaxed.

"Well, A Cheng, you've worked hard." Old He stepped forward and offered Ye Cheng a cigarette to show his thanks.

Ye Cheng took it, lit it, and at this moment the cigarette still needed to be accepted.

"A Cheng, hurry inside; I'll go make lunch, you'll eat at my place today." Qian Shen wiped her tears and pulled Ye Cheng inside as well.

"Aunt, the police also came; I still need to help distribute money to everyone, I'll come over after finishing."

"What? The money was returned?" Several people looked at Ye Cheng in surprise, "That fast?"

"Yeah, most of it's been returned, it's fine, Aunt, it's all in the past."

Ye Cheng knew Qian Shen and her husband were still worried about the money, since they had bought it from He Feiyang; if the money was gone, they'd surely come looking for them.

Now that Ye Cheng said most of it was returned, if their loss was small, they wouldn't keep holding it against him.

This essentially resolved Qian Shen's major worry.

"Qian Sis, you'd better make Ye Cheng some hearty dishes today; he's put in a lot of effort." Jiang Yunxiang chimed in from the side.

"That's a must, definitely must." Qian Shen said, turning to Old He.

"Go, buy a bottle of liquor and come back; today I allow you to get drunk."

Upon hearing that, Ye Cheng thought, "This liquor is really going to be served."

He quickly waved his hands,

"No, Aunt, we're just family eating; no need for liquor."

Ye Cheng saying that, Old He was unhappy,

"A Cheng, your aunt being generous once and letting me get drunk—how rare is that? Don't say more, it's settled."

Having said that, Old He went off happily to buy liquor from Li Quezi.

Ye Cheng also hurried back to prepare to return the money.

The police car was parked at the village entrance, already surrounded by a crowd.

"Comrades, what are you here for?"

"Comrades, when will our money be returned?"

A group of people surrounded Xiao Wang and the others, asking nonstop; Xiao Wang could only answer at first.

Wait a moment, wait for Ye Cheng to come over; he will say it.

Song Zhiyong has taken care of this; he's letting Ye Cheng speak for everything, which counts as doing Ye Cheng a favor, and making everyone blame Ye Cheng for the refund—so it works out well.

Why wait for Ye Cheng to come? He's just a fisherman; you're the police, you decide. Chen Jinfa had already been waiting impatiently.

Exactly, whether the money's been recovered or not, just say something.

No matter what everyone said, Xiao Wang simply wouldn't speak.

Just then, Chen Jinhai arrived.

Several people immediately said to Xiao Wang,

Well, police comrade, our village chief has arrived; surely he can speak now.

Chen Jinhai stepped forward and spoke solemnly,

Hello, comrade, I am Chen Jinhai, the village chief of Baiyun Village; you can tell me what's up.

Xiao Wang glanced at Chen Jinhai and replied indifferently,

Our bureau chief said that Baiyun Village's village chief is not clear-headed; everything should wait until Ye Cheng arrives before speaking.

Chen Jinhai stared, stunned—

Damn, you hit someone but not the face.

What a crappy leader.

However, after looking at the two officers' uniforms, he still took a step back, no longer seeking trouble.

If I had known it would come to this, I shouldn't have rushed over; it's practically asking for a beating.

"Village chief, please say more," several people insisted, still surrounding Chen Jinhai.

"Blah blah blah, what nonsense! If you want to talk, you talk—people already said my mind isn't clear, you didn't hear." Chen Jinhai snapped back loudly, so Xiao Wang and the others could hear.

Xiao Wang also didn't care, his face expressionless; anyway, the bureau chief and Team Song had said to listen to Ye Cheng.

The Discipline Corps—just follow the superiors' orders.

Seeing that the village chief's arrival was useless, everyone had no choice but to wait there idly.
