Chapter 390: with translation of chapter title

A Qing saw Wu Yingwei in such a hurry, and still thought it was quite good.

Wu Yingwei shouted twice, asking: "A Qing, A Qing… what are you thinking about?"

A Qing shook his head: "I… I wasn't thinking about anything…"

Then you were zoning out…

A Qing, thinking quickly, said: "I just feel… I just feel it's quite good."

Wu Yingwei said irritably: "You're panicking for nothing—what's good about it? During this time, A An has gone to the Police Station how many times, really…"

A Qing explained: "Before, when Brother did something wrong, everyone said he was bad; now, everyone is thinking of him."

Wu Yingwei said: "Before he did something wrong; now it's different."

A Qing shook his head: "It's different now, I say it's not good, anyway it's different."

Mei Wu interjected: "It's different."

If it were before, Uncle Wu knowing A An went to the Police Station would first think A An caused trouble, and surely his first words would be to scold A An.

Now… as soon as he opens his mouth, it's about how A An is, who is messing with him, showing great concern.

"……" Wu Yingwei widened his eyes; as an involved party, he missed these changes. Hearing A Qing and Mei Wu say that, he stared for a while before sighing: "It's different."

But it's also useless.

All we can do is anxiously wait.

Lao Xie handed over a cigarette, saying: "I saw A An leave relaxed; since he said he could handle it, there must be no problem."

Someone come, the catch needs to be weighed.

A Qing went over to look.

After he finished, he said to wait for Wu An to come get the money, told Lao Fu Tou to tidy the fishing boat, then hurriedly disembarked and went home.

Mei Wu followed Wu Yingwei and also went home.

……

The sky wasn't dark yet.

Wu An arrived at the Police Station.

He hadn't even parked the car when Yu Kai Lang and Liu Long pushed the door and came out.

Wu An asked with a smile: "I'm not late, am I?"

Yu Kai Lang shook his head: "No."

Wu An parked the car: "What's with those looks? I'm really the victim."

I personally believe you." Liu Long said solemnly: "But whether you're the victim depends on whether you can produce solid, credible evidence."

Wu An asked: "Shouldn't you be the ones to investigate and find the evidence?"

"……" Liu Long coughed, saying: "That's true, but if you had it, wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Yu Kai Lang said: "A An, you must be furious."

Clearly you're the victim, yet you're being asked to apologize and compensate.

That bastard, at first glance isn't his first time doing this!

Liu Long coughed: "Kai Lang, keep it down—if people hear you say that, it's not good."

Yu Kai Lang sighed: "I just can't let it go!"

Wu An smiled and said: "I believe the heavenly net is vast, though sparse, it lets nothing slip; surely it will restore justice to me."

Yu Kai Lang nodded firmly: "That's for sure!"

Liu Long reminded: "Wu An, I have to tell you, the current situation is actually unfavorable to you."

According to their side, Wu An slandered them for stealing the crab pot, then committed violence; they have video evidence, and their demand is simple: one, seek compensation; two, demand Wu An publicly apologize.

Before Wu An arrived, he and Yu Kai Lang had analyzed that the other side wasn't really after compensation or apology, but wanted to turn passive into active.

As long as each side sticks to its own story and no solid evidence is obtained, even if Wu An neither apologizes nor pays compensation, it would probably be hard to pursue the theft of the crab pot.

For Ma Weiqun, this already counts as a win.

Yu Kai Lang walked into the courtyard, pushed the door open first, and said softly: "No matter what others think, anyway I and my Master will help you with all our strength."

They arrived at a meeting room.

One side of the long table was occupied by the town Police Station personnel; opposite sat the Neighboring Town station staff, one of whom was an old acquaintance, Huang Xuejun, who had previously assisted the investigation.

Ma Weiqun was naturally there, his expression spot-on, posing as the victim.

Yu Kai Lang brought Wu An to sit down.

Wu An, with a frank expression, first explained the situation: Ma Weiqun stole the crab pot—no, to be precise, it was outright robbery; they threw stones to protect the crab pot.

Ma Weiqun is a veteran; he knows how to avoid detection, which is why he couldn't capture any evidence.

To this claim, Ma Weiqun naturally disagreed, shouting that he was wronged; besides, he has video proving Wu An committed violence first, demanding Wu An compensate and apologize.

Wu An launched into a tirade; if Yu Kai Lang hadn't restrained him, he would have come to blows.

Huang Xuejun exploded in anger, saying he had never seen such an obstinate fool; clearly he had mistaken a good person for a bad one, yet showed no remorse, rebuking and ordering Wu An to apologize and compensate immediately.

Yu Kai Lang argued forcefully, saying apology and compensation could wait; the key now is whether Ma Weiqun stole the crab pot.

Once it's clarified that it wasn't a misunderstanding, it wouldn't be Wu An apologizing but rather arresting and detaining Ma Weiqun!

Even if, after investigation, it turns out to be a misunderstanding, apologizing then would not be too late.

Huang Xuejun thought there was nothing left to investigate.

The facts are already laid out before us.

Both sides began to argue over this matter.

Finally, Huang Xuejun conceded, taking Ma Weiqun away, and said he would certainly pursue the matter to the end; seeing Ma Weiqun's demeanor, it was obvious he already considered himself safe and sound.

After Huang Xuejun and Ma Weiqun left.

Wu An also followed and left.

Arrived at the market, Gao Qiangqi was absent, but he had already instructed A Jin to enter the office, take the USB drive placed on the desk, and use the nearby computer to open it and verify it was correct.

A Jin said, "Brother An, in my opinion, let the boss find two boats to follow you; when they steal the crab pots, we'll sink them—people and boats—into the sea."

"One fell swoop and still settle the grudge!"

Wu An smiled and said, "Next time we have a chance, we'll do it as you said."

"Alright, I'm leaving first."

He didn't say much; A Jin's plan is good, but if anything goes wrong, how many lives does he have to spare?

Returned to the village.

First go find Lao Xie.

After looking at the list, the income was not bad: big tail squid at 25 yuan per catty, total 2400 catties, earning 60,000 yuan; red grouper, tiger grouper, and Stone Nine Public, sold for yuan, altogether 84,000 yuan.

The income was still not bad.

Wu An was quite satisfied.

He transferred money via phone and split the account.

A Qing called right away; Wu An chatted with him briefly, learned that A Qing had already prepared, and gave him a couple more reminders.

Seeing Wu An return so quickly, the family breathed a sigh of relief; Wu An told them not to worry, we are the victims, that's a fact, not something just anyone can smear with dirty water.

Dusk fell.

Wu An was eating when A Qing called, seeing Ma Weiqun leading several people to Lin Bin's house.

Upon hearing this, Wu An threw down his chopsticks.

He went out.

Arrived at Lin Bin's house.

A Qing was still hiding in that alley, and Wu An also hid inside.

One could clearly hear the sounds from inside the house—damn, they were laughing uproariously!

"Brother, it turns out Lin Bin is behind this!"

"Damn it!"

"Let's set his house on fire tonight."

A Qing cursed and swore.

Wu An's eyes turned icy: "Just doing that would be too lenient on this brat."

"Is Lin Hu at home?"

A Qing blinked: "He's not home; when I was tailing him, I happened to see Lin Hu go out fishing, and he was also driven out by his wife's scolding, saying he couldn't come back unless he caught fish worth several hundred yuan."

Wu An snorted coldly: "Alright, this thunder, it's time to set it off."

Now that we've confirmed Lin Bin is behind this, there's no need to endure further; we can directly expose the evidence. As for Lin Bin's relationship with Ma Weiqun, Yu Kai Lang will naturally investigate it thoroughly.

Pretty good.

This account doesn't need to wait overnight; today we can settle it clearly.
