When Chen Xing returned to Zhong Ling's home, Zhong Ling was not surprised at all. She said half-jokingly, "You still remember the way? I was just worried that you didn't know the way back after leaving the police station."
"If you still can't remember the way after walking twice, you really have no sense of direction." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.
When Mr. Zhong saw Chen Xing, he looked at his daughter in surprise. Just now, his daughter said that Chen Xing would be back in a while, which really happened. Looking Chen Xing up and down, Mr. Zhong asked with concern, "Chen Xing, did you suffer any losses in the police station?" No wonder Mr. Zhong asked this question. Many people who were taken to the police station were inevitably punished.
"Uncle Zhong, don't worry. I don't look like I'm in trouble." Chen Xing patted his chest with a smile and looked around. Chen Xing did not see the group of young people, so he couldn't help asking, "Those troublemakers have left?
They left and said that they would come tomorrow to ask for 150,000 yuan. " Mr. Zhong gave a wry smile. "I've been doing my duty all my life and haven't done anything bad. I don't know why I got into trouble."
"Haha, Uncle Zhong, there is a saying that goes," Kind people will be bullied. "Those people might think that you are too kind, so they want to pick on you. If you are really a bad person, they won't dare to blackmail you." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Father Zhong nodded in agreement. "Chen Xing, you're right. There are a few rich and powerful families in the village, but I've never seen them get blackmailed before. Those hooligans only know how to pick on the soft persimmon. The victims are all honest people like us. This time, I'll deal with them to the end. I won't let them get away with it even if I have to give up my life. This is all Xiao Ling's hard-earned money. How can I let them extort it from me?"
"Dad, don't say that. It doesn't matter whether the money is money or not. Your health is more important. If they really make trouble, don't quarrel with them. What if you accidentally get hurt? They are young and strong, so it's easy for them to recover. If you get hurt, it's easy for you to get sick." Zhong Ling comforted her father. "Don't worry about it. Leave it to me."
A few minutes after Chen Xing arrived at Zhong Ling's house, Zhang Nan, the director of the Municipal Bureau of Jian 'an City, and Li Xuan, the director of the town police station, also arrived at Zhong Ling's house. Zhang Nan hadn't seen Chen Xing before, but it didn't affect him from recognizing who was the county magistrate from Chen Xing and the others. In officialdom, the position of superiors and subordinates was very important. Zhang Min was a driver, and He Qi, the secretary, stood humbly behind Chen Xing, which was enough to highlight the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Zhang Nan glanced around and fixed his eyes on Chen Xing. He quickened his pace slightly and greeted Chen Xing with a smile. "You must be County Magistrate Chen. It's an honor to meet you."
Chen Xing glanced at the newcomer. When he saw the two senior policemen and another person respectfully behind this person, Chen Xing had some guesses about the identity of this person. This person should be the leader of the police station. Chen Xing didn't expect that the director of the Municipal Bureau of Jian 'an City would come in person because of Yang Zhen's call. It didn't mean that Yang Zhen didn't have the authority, but it was unnecessary for the other party to be so attentive to a leader from another county.
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't deny it, Zhang Nan also knew that he didn't recognize the wrong person. He walked up quickly and reached out his hand when he was a few steps away from Chen Xing. As soon as he came to Chen Xing, he clasped his hands with an apologetic look. "County Magistrate Chen, I'm really sorry about what happened today. The people below don't know you, and you've been frightened.
It's all right. " Chen Xing glanced at him indifferently. "Your grass-roots policemen treat me as an ordinary person, which also gives me a chance to see how your policemen treat ordinary people. For their own selfishness, you use public power for private purposes, abuse the power granted to the police by the national law, and commit crimes."
Chen Xing's words made Zhang Nan's smile stagnate. The smile on his face was a little stiff, and he felt a little resentful in his heart. Zhang Nan turned his head and glared at Li Xuan angrily. Then he looked at Chen Xing with an unnatural smile and said, "County Magistrate Chen, it's all a misunderstanding. The grass-roots policemen are generally good, but when there are too many of them, it's inevitable that it's difficult to manage. This also leads to the uneven quality of the policemen, but it's also an exceptional phenomenon."
In fact, Zhang Nan hadn't really figured out how Chen Xing was taken to the police station. Yang Zhen called him and told him about it. Then Zhang Nan hurried to the police station in the town. At the same time, Chen Xing also left the police station. Zhang Nan took Li Xuan, Zhao Dabao, and the others and rushed to the village again.
On the way, Zhang Nan also asked what was going on. Li Xuan, the director of the police station, knew what Zhao Dabao usually did. Seeing that Zhao Dabao was really hesitant this time, Li Xuan had already guessed what was going on. He wanted to kick Zhao Dabao out of the car. Although he was angry, Li Xuan had to help Zhao Dabao cover up his lie. After all, he was also a beneficiary of it. Zhao Dabao connived at extortion. Without his tacit consent, Zhao Dabao would not have the courage to do so.
Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Chen Xing smiled and didn't deny it. He looked at Zhang Nan up and down. Chen Xing's look was to confirm Zhang Nan's identity. Li Xuan, who was behind him, showed up in time and said, "County Magistrate Chen, this is Director Zhang of our Municipal Bureau.
Oh, it turned out to be Director Zhang. " Chen Xing nodded. Hearing this introduction, he couldn't figure out whether the other party was the director or the deputy director. Chen Xing didn't want to ask further. Now that a director was here, whether he was the director or the deputy director, he could handle the matter.
"Come here." Chen Xing pointed at Zhao Dabao, who was behind Li Xuan, and said, "I think you should know that group of people just now. Call them and ask them to come here now."
"County Magistrate Chen, you … you misunderstood me. I really don't know them. How could I know them?" Zhao Dabao was about to cry. He looked at Chen Xing with a miserable face and couldn't even speak properly. He hoped that Chen Xing would let him go.
"You don't know them? How come? I think you are quite familiar with them. " Chen Xing stared at the other party with a faint smile on his face. Fine, I'll pretend that you don't know them. However, that group of people seems to frequent this area. I think you should have a way to contact them. Why don't you call them over?
Chen Xing's tone was not harsh. He even smiled and looked pleasant. However, Zhao Dabao couldn't muster up any courage at this moment. He could feel that under this smile, he couldn't say no. He looked at Director Li Xuan at a loss. At this time, Zhao Dabao could only act according to Li Xuan's mood.
Li Xuan saw Zhao Dabao's eyes glancing at him and cursed in his heart. "Damn it, Zhao Dabao, you pig brain. You are looking at me at this time. Do you want to drag me down with you?"
Sure enough, Zhao Dabao's eyes glanced at Li Xuan. This action fell into Zhang Nan's eyes. Zhang Nan frowned imperceptibly. He knew that these two people must have been hiding something from him and didn't tell him the truth.
"Zhao Dabao, County Magistrate Chen asked you to find someone. Why don't you hurry up and find them? Why are you dawdling?" Seeing the eyes of Chen Xing and his immediate superior Zhang Nan focused on him, Li Xuan wanted to kill Zhao Dabao. He cursed Zhao Dabao's ancestors in his heart.
Zhao Dabao was not too stupid at this time. Seeing Li Xuan's eyes almost burning with anger, Zhao Dabao wiped the sweat on his forehead. His action was a little funny, but he could vaguely see Zhao Dabao's nervousness at the moment. He also realized that he had done something stupid again. After calming down, Zhao Dabao looked at Chen Xing and said guiltily, "County Magistrate Chen, I really don't know those people. I can't contact them for a while. I usually have the chance to meet them, but the town is so big. I don't know where they are now. It's not easy to find them. Why don't I go and find them now?
If County Magistrate Chen wants to find someone, hurry up and do it. Why are you wasting your breath here? " Li Xuan reprimanded Zhao Dabao again, but he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that this darn brain wasn't that stupid. He knew that he had to die and refused to admit it. What would happen if he really found them?
There was no need to find them. They had come by themselves. Chen Xing's gaze swept past them and stared ahead. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. Zhao Dabao didn't want to find them, but they had delivered themselves to him.
Four motorcycles drove over in a very eye-catching formation, circling around Chen Xing and company. The rumbling of the engines filled the air. Perhaps it was because the eagle-eyed man hadn't seen Li Xuan at first, but he drove in a rather awe-inspiring manner. When he circled to Li Xuan's side, the people on the motorcycles were taken aback. They immediately stopped on the spot, and the others also got off the motorcycles. The eagle-eyed man and company's smiles were as radiant as they could be. Yo, Chief Li, why are you here too?
Zhao Dabao even felt like dying. He looked pitifully at Li Xuan, who had a slightly cold expression on his face. He cried out in his heart that this really had nothing to do with him. These bastards had clearly left, so why were they here again?
There were quite a number of coincidences in this world. The eagle-eyed man and company had originally threatened Zhong Ling's family, saying that they would come tomorrow to ask for 150,000 yuan before swaggering off. The few of them had already made their calculations. Zhong Ling drove a Mercedes-Benz, so if the 20,000 yuan could be increased to 100,000 yuan, then it could be increased to 150,000 yuan. The few of them had the intention of extorting more money, so they gave up on the idea of smashing some things as a warning. They thought to themselves that they would come tomorrow. If Zhong Ling and company were still so indifferent, then they would really have to make a move tomorrow to scare them.
