Chapter 459

Chen Zhonghou frowned: "What's going on, tell me."

The three guys, one sentence after another, explained the matter.

"Damn it!" Chen Zhonghou cursed, jumped off the heated brick bed, picked up the phone and called Chen Zhonglai.

"Old Third, Xiao Lei was caught again. It is said that it was the criminal police team who did it."

Chen Zhonglai said: "He just came out a few hours ago, why was he caught again?"

Chen Zhonghou said: "Chen Lei couldn't swallow that anger, so he took people to settle accounts with Wu Xianping. Unexpectedly, the other party was prepared. As soon as they made a move, the criminal police appeared."

Chen Zhonglai said with dissatisfaction: "You have to manage Xiao Lei. If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later."

Chen Zhonghou said: "What's there to be afraid of if something happens? You are his third uncle, can you not manage him?"

Chen Zhonglai snorted and didn't say anything more, hanging up the phone.

Chen Zhonghou laughed, turned and got on the heated brick bed: "You three, come, accompany me for a drink."

He didn't take Chen Lei being caught seriously at all. In his mind, as long as Old Third comes forward, Chen Lei will come out again soon.

However, the hatred for Wu Xianping deepened. Damn it, Chen Lei was caught twice because of you. I will absolutely not let you go.

As for why Chen Lei was caught, Chen Zhonghou, who was used to being arrogant and domineering, would not think about it.

Because in his thinking, I beat you, you have to endure it. If you dare to resist, it's your fault.............

Diya Printing Factory, the commotion was a bit big, and many people ran over to watch the fun. Chen Weimin brought the printing factory employees over too.

"Where is Old Wu? Where is my Old Wu?" Fan Xiuhua looked around and didn't see Wu Xianping, and became anxious instantly.

"Don't be anxious!" Zhou Andong whispered a few words in Fan Xiuhua's ear.

Fan Xiuhua let out a long breath: "Which hospital is he in?"

Zhou Andong said: "Affiliated Hospital. After things are done here, I'll go over too."

"Okay!" Fan Xiuhua nodded.

More than ten hooligans were pushed into the car.

Xing Wenbin said: "Factory Director Zhou, we're going back first. If there's anything, I'll notify you as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong shook hands with Xing Wenbin: "Sorry to trouble you."

"What trouble!" Xing Wenbin waved his hand: "This is our duty."

"Zhou Andong!" The policewoman walked over, stretched out her hand and said, "Let's get to know each other, my name is Pei Jingshu."

Zhou Andong shook hands with Pei Jingshu and said with a smile: "I just saw it, Officer Pei is really a heroine. I, Zhou Andong, have never admired anyone, you are the first one to make me admire."

Pei Jingshu's face bloomed with a smile: "Really?"

Zhou Andong nodded very seriously: "Of course!"

Pei Jingshu was extremely happy, but still maintained her reserve: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Withdraw the team!" Xing Wenbin greeted.

Pei Jingshu said: "Come to the criminal police team to play when you have time."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Okay!"

Pei Jingshu got into the car, opened the car window, and waved to Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong waved with a smile, watching the police cars drive away one after another.

"Sister-in-law, let's go, let's go to the hospital." After speaking, he got into Wu Xianping's car.

"Wait a minute, I'm going too!" Chen Weimin gave instructions to the employees, then got into the car with Fan Xiuhua.

Criminal Police Team, as soon as Xing Wenbin returned to the office, the phone on the desk rang. He walked over quickly and picked up the phone.

"I am Xing Wenbin."

"Old Xing, I am Cai Xin from the Lingbei Branch. I heard there was a big operation today?"

Xing Wenbin pulled over a chair next to him and sat down: "I just came back, and you already know? The news is quite well-informed."

Cai Xin laughed loudly: "Jiangzhou is only this big, the commotion you made is not small, how could I not know. Moreover, Chen Zhonglai from the Construction Bureau just called me and said you arrested his nephew."

Xing Wenbin took a notebook on the desk, pulled off the fountain pen cap, and wrote the two words "Cai Xin" on it.

"Old Cai, you shouldn't have made this call today."

Cai Xin was stunned: "Isn't it just beating someone? It seems like it wasn't a big deal, just pay some money."

Xing Wenbin said: "Old Cai, if you made this call to plead for Chen Lei, don't say it, lest it hurt the harmony."

Cai Xin was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Fine, it's me who is unappreciative, sorry to bother Captain Xing."

"Doo-doo-doo..."

A busy signal came from the receiver. Xing Wenbin looked at the phone in his hand and sighed. This is the first one. I don't know how many people will be offended next.

"Ding-a-ling..."

As soon as his phone was put down, the bell rang again.

Xing Wenbin smiled bitterly, picked up the phone again: "I am Xing Wenbin."

"Captain Xing, I am Xie Youzhi from the Finance Bureau. Did you arrest Chen Zhonglai's nephew, Chen Lei?"

Xing Wenbin held the pen and wrote Xie Youzhi's name in the notebook.

"Right, you wouldn't be here to plead for him too, right."

Xie Youzhi said: "What pleading, if you break the law, you should be arrested. But, I heard it was just an ordinary fight, and the other party didn't have anything happen, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it. Just criticize and educate him. Give Chen Zhonglai some face, and you'll pick up a favor. Isn't that good? Don't make everyone unhappy because of this little thing."

Xing Wenbin said: "It still needs to be investigated. As long as he is not involved in other cases, I will naturally let him go."

"Hmm, okay, good, good, good!" Xie Youzhi said "good" several times in a row, and then hung up the phone.

"Sigh!" Xing Wenbin sighed again.

Jiangzhou Affiliated Hospital, Zhou Andong asked around before finding Wu Xianping's ward.

At this time, the wounds on his body had been treated, and he was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip.

"Old Wu, how do you feel?"

Although she knew what was going on, seeing the blue and purple patches on Wu Xianping's face, it was a lie to say Fan Xiuhua wasn't worried.

"Oh... headache, dizzy, nauseous, and my eyes are a bit blurry."

Wu Xianping closed his eyes, groaning in his mouth, weak, as if he would swallow his last breath at any time.

Zhou Andong was amazed. The acting skills are improving quite fast.

At this time, a nurse walked in. Zhou Andong hurriedly said: "Nurse, how is my friend? Is the injury very heavy?"

The nurse said: "It has been checked, nothing major."

Zhou Andong said: "Then why does he say he has a headache, is dizzy, nauseous, and can't see things clearly?"

The nurse said: "I don't know about this, but the doctor said, rest for one night and see. If there is no improvement tomorrow, then do further examination."

Zhou Andong said: "He won't be in danger of life, right?"

The nurse took Wu Xianping's temperature: "Not for the time being."

"Good, good, good!" Zhou Andong said: "As long as there is no danger of life, it's fine."

The nurse left, and there was no one in the ward. Zhou Andong said: "Alright, stop pretending."

Wu Xianping opened his eyes and grinned, which pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth, making him scream in pain.

"Pain!" He raised his hand to cover the corner of his mouth: "Damn, that little brat Chen Lei, he was really ruthless."

Chen Weimin didn't know what was going on. Seeing Wu Xianping, who was just about to die, suddenly get better, he was startled, and then reacted that Wu Xianping was pretending.

"You're okay, you scared me to death."

Wu Xianping said: "So many police came, what could happen to me."

"You guys chat, I have to go back." Zhou Andong greeted Fan Xiuhua: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving, don't let the cat out of the bag."

"Don't worry!" Wu Xianping is now full of confidence: "It won't be exposed."

Zhou Andong waved his hand, left the hospital, then hailed a van and returned to the liquor factory.

January 1, 1993, the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Day!

Zhou Andong got up early, pulled open the curtains, and found that it was snowing outside again. He picked up the cigarette on the side and lit it.

He had been back for a year, and he remembered the heavy snow on New Year's Day last year vividly.

And too many things happened this year, and the lives of many people changed because of him.

"Light willow wind, leisurely peach blossom water. A small boat drifted over, a pretty little sister. Eyes are watery, red clouds flying on the face, ask a little sister, who are you going to pick up..."

Just past seven o'clock, the sky wasn't bright yet, and the factory broadcast sounded. And this song "Wind Contains Affection, Water Contains Smiles," didn't know when it started, but it became popular all over the streets and alleys.

The smoke drifted in front of his eyes. The sky outside was getting brighter and brighter. Employees came in twos and threes, and then headed straight for the factory's Palace of Culture.

Today the group is established, which is a big day for the liquor factory, and the employees also got up early and came after eating.

Zhou Andong smoked three cigarettes in a row before going to the restroom to wash up. Before he finished, there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Andong hurriedly rinsed his mouth, put away the toothbrush and toothpaste cup, came out and opened the door, and saw Gu Bing and Du Chunlai standing outside.

The two were wearing suits, ties, the leather shoes on their feet were polished brightly, and their hair was combed meticulously, as if they had also used hair gel.

Zhou Andong looked the two over. Gu Bing and Du Chunlai were panicked by his look, hurriedly checking their clothes to see if the buttons were wrong, or if the pants zipper wasn't pulled up.

"Ha!"

Zhou Andong laughed: "Don't be nervous, there's no problem with your clothes."

Gu Bing rolled his eyes: "Put on your clothes quickly, let's go eat first."

Zhou Andong turned back to the room, and soon came out after putting on his clothes.

Gu Bing looked at Zhou Andong and said with wide eyes: "You're just wearing this?"

Zhou Andong was wearing the liquor factory's work clothes, with a big cotton-padded jacket still on the outside.

"I don't have a suit, and I don't like wearing one. This outfit is quite good."

"Wear whatever you want." Gu Bing greeted Du Chunlai: "Let's go!"

The three left the dormitory building, had a simple breakfast outside, saw that it was still early, and returned to the office.

As soon as they sat down, the office door was knocked on. Zhou Andong said: "Come in!"

"I knew that since it's so early, you guys wouldn't go to the Palace of Culture."

As time passed, the factory directors of various branches came one after another.

They all took out the clothes they had pressed at the bottom of the box, but these people, even wearing dragon robes, didn't look like princes.

The suits worn on them really couldn't reflect any aesthetic feeling, and there were two whose ties were tied wrong.

Originally Zhou Andong's office was quite large, but there were too many people, so it seemed a bit crowded.

Checking the time, it was almost nine o'clock. Zhou Andong got up and said: "It's about time, let's go."

"Factory Director!" Yan Guohai asked: "Didn't those few from the city say they would come?"

Du Chunlai said: "I called and asked, and they said they would certainly come if they had time."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Since they said so, they will certainly come."

A group of people left the factory headquarters, chatting as they walked. When they entered the Palace of Culture, the originally noisy sound disappeared instantly, and then applause rang out.

Zhou Andong put his hands together to express his gratitude to the surrounding employees.

And at this time, Chen Zhonghou was answering Chen Zhonglai's phone call.

"Big Brother, things are a bit troublesome. Yesterday I found more than ten people to plead, but Xing Wenbin of the criminal police team didn't give any face at all."

Chen Zhonghou became anxious as soon as he heard it: "The people you found, is their weight not enough?"

Chen Zhonglai said: "The people I found, their levels are all higher than his, and there are two branch leaders who were also brushed off by him."

Chen Zhonghou's hair exploded, and ferocity flashed in his eyes: "Damn it, since he doesn't drink the toast I offered, then let him drink the forfeit."

Chen Zhonglai pondered for a moment: "Okay, I want to see if he, Xing Wenbin, is really that tough and afraid of nothing."

"I'll arrange it right now!" Chen Zhonghou hung up the phone, then picked it up and dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, a somewhat old voice came from the receiver: "Who is this!"

"I am Chen Zhonghou!" Chen Zhonghou said: "Chen Lei was caught by the police. You should know about it, right."

The other party said: "I know."

Chen Zhonghou said: "Notify every household to go to the criminal police team to demand people. If they don't release people, make a scene for me, make a big scene. Still the old rules, three yuan per household for those who go."

The other party said: "Secretary, three yuan is a bit low now, it's estimated that no one will be willing to go."

Chen Zhonghou's anger rose, but he didn't let it out: "That's money, this is my bottom line. If anyone doesn't know what's good for them, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."

"Okay!" The other party also knew Chen Zhonghou's temper and didn't dare to say more.

Chen Zhonghou said: "Don't forget to notify Wang Xiaohu and the others."

The other party agreed and hung up the phone.

Chen Zhonghou's wife, Wei Yuhong, entered the room with a small basin, inside which were two pieces of steaming big tofu.

"How is Xiao Lei, is he out yet?"

Chen Zhonghou snorted: "No!"

Wei Yuhong sighed: "Gave birth to two, and neither is worry-free."

Chen Zhonghou said with dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and cook, what time is it."

Wei Yuhong stewed the tofu, stir-fried two dishes, and heated the wine for Chen Zhonghou.

At this time, the dog outside suddenly barked wildly. Wei Yuhong looked up.

"Accountant Old Sun is here."

Soon, an old man who could be about sixty years old entered the room.

He was thin and dry, with gray hair, but his eyes were very spirited, looking like a very shrewd person.

"Secretary, the people have been found."

Chen Zhonghou asked: "How many people?"

Accountant Sun said: "Seven people, two four-wheelers."

"Good!" Chen Zhonghou said: "Have you eaten? Let's have a drink together."

Accountant Sun shook his head: "I've eaten. If there's nothing else, I'm going back."

Chen Zhonghou waved his hand: "Go back!"

In the past, if Chen Zhonghou had any demands and the town or county didn't agree, he would gather villagers to make trouble, and it would be accurate every time.

This time, he took out this set again and was very confident that the criminal police team would certainly release people.

As for whether something would happen, he didn't care at all. Anyway, the law doesn't punish the masses. If you have the ability, arrest dozens of villagers.

Xing Wenbin arrived at the office, poured himself a cup of tea, then sat in the chair and lit a cigarette.

Yesterday, he received more than ten pleading calls, and someone even found his wife, which made him a bit angry.

Getting up in the morning, he went directly to the municipal bureau to see Dai Hongwei. After getting Dai Hongwei's instruction to investigate strictly, he had no worries.

With a slurp, Xing Wenbin drank a sip of hot tea, then picked up the phone and was about to dial the number when the office door was pushed open forcefully, hitting the wall with a bang.

"Captain Xing, something... something big happened."
