Chapter 69 What exactly do you want?
Qiu Yuanzhang's mistress, holding a child, opened the door looking completely bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
The officers pushed her aside, and without saying a word, went inside, pinned Qiu Yuanzhang down, and slammed the handcuffs on.
Qiu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around blankly: "What's going on? Are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm Qiu, the captain of the traffic police squadron..."
The officer grabbed the handcuffs, lifted the man off the bed, and snorted, "You're the one I've got."
The officers on the other side displayed the arrest warrant.
Upon seeing that certificate, Qiu Yuanzhang's heart sank, and he could barely walk.
The mistress, holding her child, blocked the police officers' path: "Hey, you can't do this! What right do you have to arrest people?"
Qiu Yuanzhang kindly advised, "Don't obstruct law enforcement; stay home and take good care of your child."
The woman sat on the ground and burst into tears. Neighbors peeked out to watch the commotion, and whispers of excitement filled the air.
"Isn't this her man?"
"What man? Just a mistress. This man has a wife in the county."
"Hehe, that's great. Men like this should be caught. They have wives, but they still keep another one on the side."
"This mistress is really in for it now, the child is still so young, tsk tsk."
"Serves her right. Look at how smug she usually is. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was really the company commander's wife."
"It seems Yuanshan County is about to change. They just took Xie Changhe away, and now they've taken another one. Do you think it will be the next one taken away?"
"Guess? Are you a kid? Take whoever you want, take them all. It has nothing to do with me. Does it affect my monthly salary of 1200?"
……
Qiu Yuanzhang was led into the car and turned to look at his lover sitting on the ground.
"Team Leader Zhang, can you tell me what's going on?"
The person leading the team was surnamed Zhang. Everyone knew each other before, and they were quite familiar with each other.
However, Captain Zhang dared not say anything at this moment.
You'll find out when you get there.
"Could I make a phone call?"
Team Leader Zhang remained silent with a cold expression, which was a clear refusal.
Not long after the car started moving, another police car came from the opposite lane and headed towards the house of Qiu Yuanzhang's mistress.
Qiu Yuanzhang didn't pay much attention at first, but then he turned around forcefully and looked behind the car. The police car that had just driven past was now parked in front of his mistress's house.
He became even more panicked.
"No, what does this have to do with my woman? Why are you messing with her?"
The officers inside the car ignored him.
The car drove directly to the detention center.
Qiu Yuanzhang realized that he was doomed.
Generally speaking, if a case is delayed or there is room for negotiation, the suspect will not be taken directly to the detention center, but rather to the police station's case-handling area.
Upon entering the detention center, as was customary, Qiu Yuanzhang was first interrogated and beaten by two cell bosses.
Zheng Zhiguo was in no hurry to interrogate him; he wanted to first dampen Qiu Yuanzhang's arrogance.
……
Time flies, and it's time to leave work.
David met with a potential liaison officer in the afternoon, but then turned him down because he wasn't satisfied.
After processing some documents submitted by others, and having nothing else to do, I prepared to leave work.
Remembering Wu Maocai's words, he sent Wu Maocai a message to let him know that he was about to leave work.
I wonder what Wu Maocai is up to all this time, all so mysterious.
They said they needed Dawei's cooperation on something, but they wouldn't say it now, insisting on talking about it after get off work.
Wu Maocai came over with a smile, carrying his bag.
"County Chief Chen, how about you ride in my car today? I'll be your driver."
"It doesn't matter whose car you ride in, what do you want?"
"Shall we talk on the way?"
"Okay, but I'm planning to go to my hometown, Dashi Village, first to visit a friend."
"Sure, I'll take you there. It's not far anyway."
David nodded hesitantly.
Wu Maocai went up and grabbed his arm, took Dawei's bag, and led Dawei out with a smile.
"Let's go, would I possibly harm you?"
The two drove towards Dashi Village.
Passing by the abandoned school in the village, Dawei asked Wu Maocai to stop.
David started rummaging through his bag.
"Oh no, I forgot my money."
"What money?"
"I owe the auntie at the convenience store over two hundred yuan for a pack of cigarettes. The money is in the trunk of my car."
Wu Maocai shook his head helplessly: "You, how come you're living a worse life than me, a henpecked husband... Here, take it."
He handed the wallet directly to Chen Dawei.
David was a little embarrassed.
"Take it, return it to me later, otherwise I won't be able to keep track of the numbers, and Qin Hongmei will make a scene again."
Dawei chuckled wryly, took the two hundred-plus yuan, and got off the bus.
Inside the small shop converted from the elementary school gatehouse, many people were playing cards.
Dawei peeked through the small window of the shop and saw the proprietress sitting down, playing mahjong with the villagers.
"Auntie, I left the money for the cigarettes from last time here."
Dawei shouted, stuffed the money into the glass window, and prepared to leave, not wanting to disturb his fellow villagers playing cards.
The shopkeeper immediately covered up the sign, got up, grabbed the money, chased after Dawei, and stuffed the money back into his hand.
"What are you doing? Can't I even afford to give away a carton of cigarettes?"
"Auntie, let's keep things separate. You've got some assets too."
"Our village has produced a county magistrate; this is an honor for the village. What's wrong with me, as his aunt, giving him a pack of cigarettes?"
The two of them were pushing and shoving each other.
Wu Maocai sat in his car, watching this scene with a chuckle. Power, it's damn alluring...
The men who were playing cards inside came out and offered cigarettes to Dawei.
"Dawei, it's been a while since I've seen you."
"County Chief Chen, I had tea with your father last night. Come home and visit more often when you have time."
"Dawei, how about a cheap one?"
Dawei stuffed the money back into his aunt's hand, didn't take the cigarette, put his hands together, and greeted the villagers.
"Everyone, everyone."
I have other things to do. I'll come and have tea with you all next time I'm on vacation.
Look, this is Director Wu from the county. We still have official business to attend to.
Auntie, I really can't take this money, otherwise I'll make a mistake.
Please forgive me.
The four men playing mahjong surrounded Dawei as he got into the car, offering various congratulations and compliments.
Wu Maocai slowly moved the car and drove away from the scene.
When the car arrived at Uncle Lin's house, they saw Da Lin Qiufeng sitting under a persimmon tree in a corner of the threshing ground, lost in thought.
"Sister."
Dawei called out softly, and Lin Qiufeng quietly turned around. When she saw Dawei, tears welled up in her eyes.
When Wu Maocai saw Lin Qiufeng, his eyes lit up. What a lovely farm girl...
So pure.
So moisturizing.
Dawei strode towards Lin Qiufeng, while Wu Maocai stood a few meters behind Dawei, keeping a distance.
"You've arrived, Wei."
"Hmm, where's the second one?"
Lin Qiufeng raised her chin towards the open space behind the house.
When Dawei arrived at the open space behind the house, he saw Lin Yunxing sitting by the sink, constantly sharpening a sickle.
The sickle had been worn white, reflecting a cold glint under the lamplight.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Brother Wei is here, please come inside and sit down." Lin Yunxing said indifferently, putting down his sickle and inviting Dawei and Wu Maocai to sit in the living room.
Upon seeing that Dawei had brought someone with him, Lin Yunxing immediately changed his tune.
"I can't call you like I used to. You're the county magistrate now, so I should call you County Magistrate Chen."
"Let's not talk about that. I'm asking you, what are you trying to do by constantly sharpening your knife? You can't go to extremes."
Lin Yunxing glanced cautiously at Wu Maocai next to Dawei, a look of distrust on his face, but remained silent.
