Chapter 582: Arrested

Wang Yan's expression didn't change at all. He continued to rub the clothes, turned his head, and looked at Cheng Jianguo, whose eyes were rolling around, with a smile: "Finished?"

Cheng Jianguo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Yan to react like this. He laughed awkwardly and defended himself: "Prince, I just suddenly remembered this matter. When I and Han Chunming returned to the city in 1975, he was very close to Su Meng, but you were at work every day then, so you didn't see it. I'm telling you now because I don't want to see you being kept in the dark. Han Chunming is a villain. How much advantage has he taken from you all these years? Let me tell you, I can't even stand it. I just thought of this matter to let you see the true face of this villain Han Chunming."

This speech was full of righteous indignation, and he even believed it himself.

"Is it because my thunder is loud and my rain is small that you think I'm easy to fool?" While speaking, Wang Yan directly slapped him in the face, and then followed up with a kick that sent the kid rolling twice on the ground, calmly spitting out one word: "Get out!"

When attacked, people's first feeling is often not pain, just numbness and burning. Cheng Jianguo touched his face, rubbed his stomach, rubbed his head, and rubbed his shoulders, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He was very confused and at a loss at this moment. He didn't expect that Wang Yan, who was so old and had such a high status, would still do it like a rogue, which was really losing face. According to his thinking, Wang Yan was such a big figure, a great scientist, a representative, and a big celebrity, so he shouldn't care about a small person like him, although he really didn't have good intentions, which was roughly the same meaning as the annoying "he's still a child". The disparity in status between the two was indeed like an adult bullying a child, and still doing it directly.

Until the burning on his face began to transmit pain to his brain, and the churning pain in his stomach followed, the pain made him hold his breath in his chest, and he couldn't even shout in pain. He lay there rolling left and right to relieve the pain. Of course, even if he could shout, he would hold it in. If the neighbors knew that he, a person who cares so much about face and is so narrow-minded, was like this, he might as well die.

"What's wrong? What's the noise?" Su Meng's voice came from the house.

The sound of the slap plus Cheng Jianguo falling to the ground was not small. At this moment, Cheng Jianguo was rolling in pain, so Su Meng naturally heard it.

Wang Yan looked at Cheng Jianguo with a smile and responded to Su Meng: "It's nothing, the courtyard door wasn't closed, and a dog ran in, so I scared it away."

Cheng Jianguo bared his teeth, bent over with difficulty, held his stomach and stood up, not looking into Wang Yan's eyes, and said while sucking in cold air: "Prince, it was my big mouth. You are a great person who doesn't remember the villain's faults, and a prime minister's belly can hold a boat. Please don't care about me."

Wang Yan smiled, waved his hand like driving away a fly, didn't pay any more attention to him, and continued to rub the clothes.

Being ignored like this, Cheng Jianguo didn't dare to say any more nonsense and slowly moved back to the backyard...

Wang Yan knew exactly what Cheng Jianguo's idea was.

Not saying it early or late, but coming to find him when Han Chunming's goods were detained, was just to disgust him. He brought up the matter between Han Chunming and Su Meng before. As long as he listened, he would have opinions about Han Chunming and also have a rift with Su Meng. So when Han Chunming begged for help to get the goods out, he wouldn't help, and Cheng Jianguo could thereby get merit, fix Han Chunming, and destroy Wang Yan's family harmony. Killing several birds with one stone, a very good thing.

But what Cheng Jianguo didn't expect was that he would slap and kick without saying a word, not caring about his status at all.

This was Cheng Jianguo's lack of consideration. He thought Wang Yan wouldn't do anything to him because of his status, but he ignored that even if Wang Yan really did something to him, it wouldn't matter, which was the most critical point...

He had just finished washing the clothes and was hanging them on the clothesline tied to the nails on the two walls with wires when the Old Han family also broke up.

Han Chunming's two older brothers and two older sisters, along with their wives and husbands, all walked out with unhappy faces, smiling stiffly at Wang Yan, and then pushed their bicycles away.

Han Chunming, who was smiling bitterly, went out with Cai Xiaoli to see the guests off, and only returned after a long while. Obviously, the couple had been confiding in each other. Wang Yan had already sent the child to the backyard, checked on his father-in-law's situation, and returned to the room, so he didn't see what expressions the two had. However, from the cheerfulness revealed in the sound of heels hitting the ground first, and the somewhat listless dragging footsteps that followed, it could be clearly heard that Cai Xiaoli was the winner.

In fact, having a wife like Cai Xiaoli is very good for Han Chunming. Just like in the original drama, when this group of older brothers and sisters plotted for the restaurant, Han Chunming didn't even let out a fart. Now with Cai Xiaoli, such things as taking advantage will absolutely not happen. As for arranging work, that's even more impossible.

However, as the saying goes, brothers and sisters should settle accounts clearly. Helping when capable is naturally reasonable, but taking this kind of help for granted and becoming greedy is wrong.

But family ethical relationships are always a messy account that can never be clearly calculated. As the youngest in the family, before Han Chunming married, including the period when he just married, because he always collected things and never had enough money, he also borrowed money from these older brothers and sisters. It was true that they took care of him when he was young and gave him the best food and drink.

It is estimated that when Han Chunming's business grows bigger in the future, he will probably still supplement these older brothers and sisters with some money every month. In the eyes of his brothers and sisters, this is of course wrong. After all, he is so rich, yet he only gave them a little bit, which is just dismissing beggars. But they will still take it. And while taking the money, they will still mutter to people that Han Chunming is not a thing, and now that he is rich, he doesn't recognize the care and love they gave him for so many years...

And when Wang Yan went to the backyard before, he heard that Cheng Jianguo's family was also not peaceful. Cheng Jianguo, who had been beaten, had a swollen face and was covered in dirt. Facing his family's questioning, he only said he didn't see the road while walking and fell in a novel posture. But how could such a statement deceive his wife and parents? Even if he had already patted the dust off his body, the big footprint on his clothes couldn't be patted off because it was stained with mud, so it could still be seen clearly. Besides, they weren't blind or stupid. How could they not see the big slap mark on his face?

Of course, Cheng Jianguo couldn't say he was beaten by Wang Yan, so he just insisted it was a fall, and then lay on the bed to relieve the pain, gritting his teeth and secretly studying how to return the humiliation of today to Wang Yan...

His idea was good, but the development of things did not go as he wished.

Regardless of human nature, whether it is good or evil, after experiencing more, one will always inevitably have some greed. In the uncivilized era of ancient times, if someone got a sharp stone axe, there would inevitably be people who envied it. And with the development of technology, people moved from caves to plains and lived in houses, so there would inevitably be people whose houses were big and regular, and there would be people who could wear animal skins, while others could only wear leaves...

Although the overall standard of living is improving, on the same piece of land, there are always people who live well and people who live poorly. There are always people with more land and people with less land, and there are always people dressed in fine clothes and riding horses, while others can't even eat.

Then those with less land and those who can't eat will envy those with more land and those dressed in fine clothes. This is correct; no one doesn't want to live better. But those who envy too much, some still work hard, while others have greed and start to take shortcuts.

If those who want to take shortcuts happen to have some power, that is an even easier thing. Because all power involves personnel management and resource allocation. Even if it is just a village secretary in a poor and remote place, he controls the village's land allocation, inheritance notarization, and the country's various subsidies and allowances. In any matter, in any link, as long as he reaches out, he can gain benefits.

As a clerk in the Inspection Section of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, plus he himself is good at talking and drilling, on the basis of his certain public power, uniting colleagues and serving leaders well, he can also get rich.

Just as the original drama played out, Cheng Jianguo's wife, who had been holding on without divorcing, finally waited for spring. University students are not for nothing.

After Cheng Jianguo graduated and started working, he directly felt the call of wealth. With so many goods coming and going every day, and so many companies and individuals, whoever he catches loses, and whoever he lets go makes money, so he naturally made money.

So reflecting on life, the Cheng family's standard of living is also quite good, at least like the Han family, eating meat every day. And on Cheng Jianguo's father-in-law's side, he also got some help, and his reputation was quite good. Whenever others mentioned him, they praised him, saying that those who went to university have a future, and Cheng Jianguo is promising, etc.

There are many people who do this. Cheng Jianguo was cautious at first, but as he did more of such things, he became accustomed to it and didn't take it seriously anymore, gradually becoming a matter of course, and having a psychological superiority.

But his superiority is now gone.

Taking two days off, waiting for the swelling on his face to subside, he went to work. Just as he was drinking tea, someone from the Discipline Inspection Commission came to find him to understand the situation, saying that they had received a report and asked him to cooperate with the investigation.

Facing the inspection, unless the evidence is thrown in the face and one really can't quibble, no one will admit what they have done. This is the biggest difficulty encountered by the people's police in their work. Whether it is a civil dispute or a criminal case, the parties involved are always each sticking to their own words and each saying their own things.

In fact, no one is really ignorant. Even if they don't understand the law, living in this society, they should always know what things cannot be done. The reason why people who make a scene are like this is not because they don't understand or don't know it's wrong, but because it is beneficial to them. So those who have no reason and have committed things actually know everything clearly, but they just want to argue. They always have a fluke mentality and always want that "what if"...

Cheng Jianguo is no exception, refusing to admit what he did to the death. But obviously, the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission were well-prepared. They produced the informant's testimony and evidence, and at the same time found his wife to cooperate with the investigation.

His wife is just an ordinary knowledgeable young woman, and after living for so many years, the knowledge was forgotten, and the young woman became a housewife. This was originally a guilty matter. In front of the public servants with stiff faces, she couldn't do what Cheng Jianguo did and refuse to admit it. In just a few words, she said everything she knew.

Naturally, Cheng Jianguo was arrested, locked up waiting for prosecution and sentencing, and forbidden from visiting...

"Prince, it wasn't you who put him in, was it?" Han Chunming looked suspiciously at Wang Yan, who was drinking calmly on the side: "I saw it those two days, that face was beaten swollen."

In a private room on the top floor of Tea Fragrance, Wang Yan, Old Guan, P，or Old Hou, Ma Du, Han Chunming, and Taozi were gathering and chatting again. Since this restaurant opened, everyone didn't eat at Old Guan's house anymore. It was hard to cook and clean up kitchen waste, so it was better to be at ease here. In addition, Han Chunming hadn't stopped, earned enough money, and planned to open another shop in Wang Fujing, and was currently looking for a storefront and buying a building directly.

Because Wang Fujing is closer to where they live, they planned to call it Gathering Friends, which was Old Guan's nickname when he walked in the world. It shows that Old Guan was a proper player who carried birdcages when he was young. After all, without the hobby of carrying birdcages, he couldn't gather with those friends...

Before Wang Yan could speak, P，or Old Hou gave a cold snort: "I've seen that kid twice. He has a thief's eyebrows and rat's eyes, and he doesn't look like a good person at all. Now that he's been arrested for abusing power for personal gain, he deserves it. Why do you care if Wang Yan put him in? People like him, one by one, it would be best if they were all arrested."

Old Guan nodded: "That's right. Why do you care about him? You're just worrying about nothing. If it really was Wang Yan who put him in, do you still want him to save that grandson?"

Ma Du took over the conversation: "I saw it when you got married. He was showing off with your classmates, saying he wasn't worse than you. Your goods were definitely detained by him."

Taozi also stammered: "This grandson is too bad, just doing this kind of thing that harms others and doesn't benefit himself."

"I know it all, I just feel it's a pity. No matter what, we grew up together. I just can't understand how he became like this. But it's also quite good. Not long after he went in, Yang Huajian told me the goods were all brought out."

Han Chunming naturally knew that Cheng Jianguo was not popular. He shook his head and asked: "Prince, was it really you who did it? I've been thinking about it, and it's just that Cheng Jianguo didn't know how to pull your tiger's whiskers that night and was beaten up on the spot. Then you greeted someone, and this kid was handled. Otherwise, he had been working for a year, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence that something happened."

This was naturally done by Wang Yan. If Cheng Jianguo wanted to be invulnerable, he could only use the most direct means. But Cheng Jianguo was not like that, so naturally, he had to use it. Although some were sacrificed because of development and lack of talent, that didn't mean he didn't work or do things. Cheng Jianguo didn't have a high position or a big background, and he didn't go through the internal reporting procedures of Industry and Commerce. He went directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission, so he must be handled, and he must be a typical example, becoming a negative teaching material for clean government construction.

As for the detained goods, this was really not his help. However, according to normal logic, there must be some relationship. After all, Cheng Jianguo only detained this batch of goods recently, and then the person went in. In addition, there was Yang Huajian's effort, and it was reasonable to save trouble and release the goods.

But now asking if it was him who put Cheng Jianguo in, that was definitely not...

"This kid showed off to me. I did slap him and kick him, but I really didn't put him in. I guess he was greedy and forced others, so he deserved it. Before coming, his father begged me to do something to get him out. He really thinks highly of me. Abusing power and seeking personal gain—his father is a section chief himself. Even if he is anxious, he can't not understand the seriousness of this matter. Is that something I can handle? Fine, fine, don't talk about him. It has nothing to do with us."

Wang Yan waved his hand and looked at Ma Du on the side: "Little Ma, how is your marriage preparation? If you need any help, just speak up, don't hide it."

"Hi, you guys are all experienced. How can there be so many rules for getting married? Just decide on the place to drink. Although the tickets haven't been abolished, things are easy to buy, and nothing is missing. Don't worry, if there is anything, I will definitely find you."

Old Guan gave an 'ai' and looked at Wang Yan: "Did you greet him about the grandfather of the Nine Gates Commander?"

Ma Du asked suspiciously: "What matter?"

"On the day you get married, let you get a big-butt jeep to pick him up." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "He said he didn't want to take my three-wheeled kick-start, fearing he would be bumped to death on the way. I don't know how he came today."

"Heh..." Old Guan, who was carried over by Wang Yan in the bucket, said unhappily: "Are you teasing the grandfather of the Nine Gates Commander?"

Ma Du laughed: "Commander, don't worry, I guarantee a big-butt jeep will pick you up, and the Marquis too."

"Yo, I have a share too. I was thinking of walking over from Yanzhi Hutong." P，or Old Hou raised his glass with a chuckle: "That really deserves a drink. I, a junk collector, can one day sit in a big-butt jeep, and still in the same car as the Commander, that is really an honor. Come, come, come, Little Ma, have a drink, finish it."

【Stable operation for many years, the novel app, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app that everyone is using, huanyuanapp.】

"Then let's do it together." Old Guan raised his wine glass and said to P，or Old Hou: "You kid too. Now it's a good time. A while ago, I went to Panjiayuan and Liulichang, these two places, to stroll around, and I saw quite a few people practicing stalls there. If you look carefully, you can see quite a few good things. You kid carries a broken sack all day, and you can't collect many things."

"The Commander is right, I saw it too. I plan to finish this year and stop completely next year. You have seen quite a few good things, you must have bought them, right? What treasures did you find? Let us be happy."

"Drink!" Old Guan chuckled and drank a cup, talking about the things he bought, and the topic turned to the history and culture that had been chatted about for eight years.

It is really because history is too long, and there are too many things to say. At first, they chatted about those big figures and those representative periods. Later, they gradually chatted about smaller things. Antiques were one aspect, and they also talked about the politics, economy, military, etc. of that time. As long as they started, they couldn't finish chatting, which was quite interesting...
