When Zou Wengang saw Zou Fang, his eyes widened. He almost thought that his eyes were wrong. He hadn't seen his sister for many years, but they were brothers and sisters. Although his sister was old, Zou Wengang could still recognize her at a glance. "You … you are Xiaofang?
Brother, it's me. " Zou Fang helped her brother up. Seeing that one side of his face was swollen, she felt distressed. "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zou Fang said and turned to look at the young man. She didn't know him. In her impression, he shouldn't be her brother's family. She shouted with an ugly face. "Young man, why did you hit me?"
"I hit you. What can you do about it?" The young man glared at Zou Fang. "You owe me money and dare to hit me first. I'll give you a punch."
"You young man, even if I owe you money, can you hit me? Didn't anyone teach you to respect the old and love the young? It's unreasonable for you to hit the old." Hearing the young man's words, Zou Wengang frowned slightly and still scolded him loudly. However, when he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zou Wengang's brother-in-law. He didn't know if Zou Wengang's family really owed him money. When he walked to the door just now, he did see Zou Wengang waving his hand as if he was going to hit him. If he really owed him money and wanted to hit him, then he was really in the wrong.
"Did we say that we won't pay you money? "You have come to our house to make trouble several times, even during the New Year. Are you going to let us live?" Zou Wengang trembled with anger.
"If we don't come to collect the debt diligently, will you pay us back?" "Old man, who are you kidding? Did that bastard Zou Yang hide outside? Call him out. If he doesn't pay us part of the money today, we won't leave." The young man scolded them rudely and directly pulled a chair over to sit as if it was his own house.
"That … Wengang, do you really owe them money?" Chen Shuiping walked to Zou Wengang's side. He hadn't seen his brother-in-law for so many years that he had forgotten how long it had been. If he thought about it carefully, he might have not been to his brother-in-law's house for more than 20 years. Now, seeing that his brother-in-law's family was still the same as it was twenty years ago, living in such poverty, Chen Shuiping couldn't bear it. The resentment from his youth had completely disappeared, and he took the initiative to talk to Zou Wengang.
"I owe him." Zou Wengang looked at Chen Shuiping with a complicated look on his face. Back then, Chen Shuiping's family couldn't take out the 10,000 yuan gift, so he opposed the marriage between Zou Fang and Chen Shuiping. Now, among his sisters, Zou Fang was the happiest. He had also heard from his other sisters that his sister's son had become a great person and had become a high official. It was just that his stubborn temper prevented him from taking the initiative to contact Chen Shuiping's family, and he was also unwilling to accept his sisters' gifts. There were several times when his sisters sent money over, but he always returned it. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he refused to admit it. Temperament and character were the hardest to change. Sometimes, even if he knew he was in the wrong, he still refused to admit it.
When Chen Shuiping heard his brother-in-law's words, he didn't expect that he would really owe him money. The corners of his mouth twitched. He was in the wrong first. It was only right and proper to repay a debt. Just now, Zou Wengang's brother-in-law wanted to hit him first. Chen Shuiping could only smile bitterly and didn't know what to say. His bad temper hadn't changed. His brother-in-law was already 60 years old, but his temper was still as bad as ever.
"How much do I owe you?" Chen Shuiping curled his lips. At this time, his expression was no longer as fierce as before. He sized up the young man who sat down and then looked at the people behind him. They were all about the same age, about 20 years old. Their hair was dyed in a messy color. At first glance, Chen Shuiping knew that they were the kind of people who did not learn well and fooled around in society. These people seemed to be a group. Chen Shuiping had a stomach full of questions. He did not know how his brother-in-law owed these young people money.
"You owe us fifty thousand yuan. If you pay us back now, we'll leave immediately." Hearing Chen Shuiping's question, the young man was happy. He thought that Chen Shuiping was going to pay them back. Looking at Chen Shuiping's clothes, he guessed that Chen Shuiping was rich.
"I'll pay them back fifty thousand yuan, but I don't have that much cash with me today. Come back another day." Chen Shuiping said. He had already planned to pay back the money for his brother-in-law's family. He didn't lack money anyway.
"Tsk, if you don't pay us back now, we won't leave. Do you think we'll pay you another day?" "If we really believe you, we won't be able to find them in a few days." Hearing Chen Shuiping's words, the young man was immediately unhappy. He didn't believe Chen Shuiping's words.
"It's just fifty thousand yuan. I won't lie for such a small amount of money. I can't afford to lose my face." Chen Shuiping said disdainfully.
"Chen Shuiping, it's none of your business. You don't need to pay back the money." Zou Wengang's wrinkled face twisted. He stared at the young man. "Where did you get fifty thousand yuan? You're more ruthless than robbing. Our Xiaoyang only borrowed ten thousand yuan from you. How could it be fifty thousand yuan?"
Old man, I say, do you want to go back on your word? Humph, Zou Yang signed the IOU in black and white. At that time, we emphasized to him about the interest, and he agreed. Now who do you want to blame? "You have to pay the money back. Otherwise, don't blame us for coming to your house every day to make trouble." The young man scolded.
"You're cheating usury. It doesn't count even if you go to court. If you piss me off, I'll call the police." Zou Wengang said anxiously.
"If you have the ability, go to the police. You can call it now. I'll wait here." The young man sneered. "So what if the police come? You have to pay the money back."
"Brother, what's going on? How did the ten thousand yuan become fifty thousand yuan?" Zou Fang asked curiously.
"It's all Xiaoyang's fault. That brat didn't learn from good things and went to the society with others. He got addicted to gambling and borrowed ten thousand yuan from someone to gamble. As a result, he lost all his money and had no money to pay back. He didn't dare to come back and tell us. The ten thousand yuan became fifty thousand yuan in less than half a year. Do you think the interest is so high?" "This is a scam." Zou Wengang was so angry that his face turned red.
Hearing Zou Wengang's explanation, Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang finally understood what was going on. Zou Yang was Zou Wengang's grandson. They had never met this nephew before. Now Zou Yang had caused such trouble. Zou Yang often came to their house to ask for the debt. Even during the Spring Festival, they still came to their house to make trouble.
Zou Yang directly went to hide. He borrowed ten thousand yuan and became fifty thousand yuan in less than half a year. "I think you're illegal usury."
Dad, usury is not legal. You have a problem with your wording. "Dad, usury isn't legal. What you said is wrong."
Chen Xing interrupted with a smile. "Are you purposely causing trouble?" the young man scolded when he heard Chen Xing and Chen Shuiping's words. "If you want to pay back the money, you can do it now. But if you continue to be long-winded and annoy me, I'll beat you up too."
"Where did this little bastard come from? How arrogant. While I'm not angry, scram immediately." Chen Shuiping's face turned cold.
"Hey, old man, do you really want to get beaten up?" The young man stood up from his chair. His companions also stared at Chen Shuiping fiercely, as if they were going to beat him up.
"Who dares to make a move?" Chen Xing took a step forward. He was afraid that his father would be at a disadvantage.
"Why, do you want to fight with us? Do you have more people?" "Do you know who we are? Don't you know whose territory Lin Town belongs to?" The young man stared at Chen Shuiping and Chen Xing. Then, he turned to Zou Wengang and sneered. "Zou, are they your relatives? "Are you sure you want them to be nosy?
"Chen Shuiping, Xiaofang, today's matter has nothing to do with you. We will solve it ourselves." Zou Wengang said expressionlessly. He also knew that these gangsters were the local bullies in the town. Generally, no one dared to offend them. If he had not been forced into a corner, he would not have wanted to beat them up. At this moment, at this moment, Zou Wengang's eyes fell on Chen Xing. There was an inquiring look in his eyes. From Chen Xing's face, he could vaguely see the shadows of Zou Fang and Chen Shuiping. Zou Wengang guessed that he should be the nephew who had become a high-ranking official. He heard from his second sister that he was now an official higher than the mayor. Zou Wengang did not know that his nephew would also come today. Although Zou Fang had not introduced him, he had already guessed it in his heart.
"Brother, even now you still say such things. We are a family. It's time to let go of what happened in the past. Do you still refuse to change your bad temper?" Zou Fang shook her head with a bitter smile. "Today, I brought Chen Xing and Ningning here in the hope that you can meet them. Chen Xing has a family and a career. Speaking of which, as his eldest uncle, you have not seen him since he was a child, right?"
"Chen Xing, come here quickly. This is your eldest uncle." After saying that, Zou Fang waved to Chen Xing.
Eldest uncle. Chen Xing walked over and nodded to his eldest uncle with a smile. In his memory, he had no impression of this eldest uncle. Although he did not have any feelings for him, he was after all his mother's brother. This kinship could not be cut off.
He did not expect that he had grown up so much. Zou Wengang looked at Chen Xing. His sister personally confirmed it, which made him look at Chen Xing a little moved.
"Brother, this is Ningning, Chen Xing's wife." Zou Fang pulled Zhang Ningning over to introduce her to her eldest brother. Looking at the grandson in Zhang Ningning's arms, she could not help showing a smile on her face.
This time, Zou Wengang took the initiative to nod to Zhang Ningning and forced a smile on his face. She was a guest. Although he had not calmed down yet, he did not want others to think that he was rude. He did not know much about Zhang Ningning. He only heard from his eldest sister that she was from the capital city and that there was someone in her family who was also a high-ranking official. For a person like him who had never been educated, he did not have a direct concept of those high and mighty leaders. He did not know much about them, so naturally, he was not too shocked. He did not know that Zhang Ningning was the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang, because his eldest sister did not know it herself, let alone explain it to him. If he knew that Zhang Ningning was the granddaughter of Zhang Daoyi, he was afraid that he would be very excited. Zhang Daoyi, the founding father of the country, was his idol. When he was a child, he heard the deeds of those founding generals, and he admired Zhang Daoyi the most.
Zou Wengang did not look at Zhang Ningning. He just looked at Chen Xing for a while and was silent. After a while, Zou Wengang murmured, "Xiaofang, you are very good, very good. The child you raised is very promising.
Brother, it is true that Chen Xing is promising, but he is also your nephew. If he is promising, our family should be proud. Your family is like ours. " Zou Fang said with a smile. She did not want her eldest brother to treat her as an outsider.
"Mom, let's solve the problem in front of us first. It is not too late to catch up as a family." Chen Xing smiled. He did not want to waste time talking to these young people in front of him. He directly picked up his phone and called Yang Zhen. He did not know the leaders in Yuanjiang District, but it was enough to call Yang Zhen, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After a brief conversation with Yang Zhen, Chen Xing hung up the phone. Although it was a small matter, Chen Xing believed that Yang Zhen would ask someone to deal with it as soon as possible.
"Uncle, the people from the Public Security Bureau will come later. After the matter is settled, no one will come to harass you in the future. As for the 50,000 yuan, you don't have to pay it back. I think there may be something fishy about it." Chen Xing said.
"That is to say, at most 10,000 yuan. As for the interest, we will pay them four times the bank interest according to the law." Chen Shuiping also nodded. Although they were not short of money, no one was willing to be a fool.
"Do you think that calling the police can solve the problem? Let me tell you, even if God comes, it will be useless." The young man smiled disdainfully, and there was a hint of threat on his face. "If you don't pay it back today, when we come next time, we will ask you for money in a nice way. At that time, if the pots and jars in your house are accidentally smashed by us, don't blame us."
"You can't ask for money, so you changed to threaten me?" Chen Xing glanced at the young man. He remembered what had happened to Song Zhi before. When she was at school, that girl also fooled around with others and borrowed money from usury to gamble. As a result, her single apartment was almost extorted by the other party. In the end, it turned out that the gambling and usury were all set up by the other party at the beginning. Many usury lenders had set up a trap for them. Wasn't Song Zhi's incident almost the same as what had happened to the grandson of Chen Xing's uncle?
At that time, the 10,000 yuan usury might have been induced by you to borrow it. You have committed a crime. Chen Xing said again.
"Brat, what are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will beat you up if you talk nonsense again." The young man's face changed and he scolded.
Seeing the change of expression on the young man's face, Chen Xing was more and more sure that this was the same as what had happened to Song Zhi. He glanced at the young man and sneered. "When the police come, you will behave.
It will be the same if the police come. What do you think the police can do? " The young man stared at Chen Xing and was not afraid at all.
"Then let's wait and see." Chen Xing smiled indifferently and did not say anything. He turned to look at his uncle and then looked at the situation of his uncle's house. This stone house looked very old from the outside. It was estimated that it had been built for at least 20 or 30 years. Looking at the inside, it should have been renovated and was not as old as it looked from the outside. However, the condition was not much better. Chen Xing could not help shaking his head slightly. It was true that his uncle's family had not lived an easy life.
At this time, Zou Fang also helped Zou Wengang to sit down and let him calm down first. She was ten years younger than Zou Wengang, her eldest brother. Zou Wengang was more than 60 years old and his grandson was about to get married and have children. But she had just had a grandson. However, from Zou Wengang's look, she also knew that Zou Wengang's temper had not changed at all.
She asked Zou Wengang about the situation over these years. Seeing that Zou Wengang was not willing to say more, Zou Fang sighed. She knew that he still had a knot in his heart and could not let it go. Moreover, today their family came suddenly and did not tell Zou Wengang in advance. Zou Fang knew that her eldest brother was probably still in a daze.
The young people at the side did not pay attention to them. Because they knew that Chen Xing had just called the police, they did not act too presumptuously at this time. Although they were not afraid of the police, they did not want to go too far at the critical moment when the police were coming.
The police came faster than expected. After about five or six minutes, Chen Xing's mobile phone rang. A man who claimed to be the director of the Xialin Town Police Station called Chen Xing and asked for the specific address. They had already arrived at the village, but they did not know the specific address. On the phone, the voice of the person on the other side was very respectful.
Chen Xing gave the phone to his mother. He really did not know how to get there.
Zou Fang gave a general explanation. Obviously, the police in the town were quite familiar with the situation of the natural villages below. After Zou Fang gave a brief explanation, the person on the other side knew how to get there.
In less than two minutes, Chen Xing heard the sound of a car parking outside. The person who just called Chen Xing was the director of the town police station, Li Guosheng. As soon as he walked in, he glanced at the people in the room. When he saw Chen Xing, Li Guosheng immediately became respectful and walked over quickly. Secretary Chen, I am the director of the town police station, Li Guosheng.
Li Guosheng took the initiative to introduce himself. He bowed slightly and looked humble. After that, he explained for Zhao Wei, the director of the district sub-bureau, and said, "Director Zhao is on the way here and will be here soon." The reason why Li Guosheng knew Chen Xing's number was because Zhao Wei had given him it. As for Zhao Wei, he had received a call from the head of the Municipal Bureau, Yang Zhen. After receiving Yang Zhen's call, Zhao Wei did not dare to be careless. On the second day of the New Year, he accompanied his wife back to her parents' home. He immediately rushed out and headed directly to Xialin Town. He did not forget to call Li Guosheng, the director of the Xialin Town Police Station, and ask him to hurry over.
Li Guosheng also knew Chen Xing. To be exact, he knew Chen Xing, but Chen Xing did not know him. Chen Xing used to be the secretary of Haicheng City's Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Mingfang. In the past, Zhou Mingfang had come to Yuanjiang District for research several times. However, Zhou Mingfang's secretary was not Chen Xing at first. The last time Zhou Mingfang came to Yuanjiang District for research, it was Chen Xing who followed him. At that time, Zhou Mingfang had been promoted to the deputy director of the town police station. At that time, Zhou Mingfang had gone to Xialin Town to investigate, so he had seen Chen Xing from afar.
Li Guosheng had not only seen Chen Xing, he had also heard many things. He had heard about him from the branch director, Zhao Wei. This was because Zhao Wei followed Yang Zhen closely and was promoted to the branch director by Yang Zhen. He was fortunate enough to hear some secrets from Zhao Wei. He knew that Yang Zhen and some other leaders in the city had connected with the Zhang family and Zhou Mingfang through Chen Xing. They could be considered to have formed their own faction in the city.
Chen Xing listened to Li Guosheng's words and nodded lightly. He guessed that the Director Zhao that Li Guosheng was talking about should be from the branch. He did not say anything. If he knew that Yang Zhen was in the city, it would be impossible for him to rush to Yuanjiang District.
Glancing at Li Guosheng, Chen Xing turned his gaze to the few youngsters.
When Li Guosheng saw Chen Xing's expression, how could he not understand what Chen Xing meant? He immediately ordered his subordinates to capture these rascals first.
Don't, Chief Li. We are Brother Wang's men. The few youngsters had wanted to greet Li Guosheng, but when they saw Li Guosheng bowing and talking to the young man that they had just scolded, they stopped. Their expressions were a little suspicious. Just as they were wondering if they had gotten into trouble, they heard Li Guosheng order for them to be arrested. They jumped in fright and hurriedly pulled their big brother out.
What Brother Wang, Brother Li? I don't know him. Li Guosheng's face darkened. He glared at the few rascals in front of him, afraid that they would say something else.
Chief Li, this is Brother Wang Jinming. How could you not know him? The young man in the lead explained anxiously.
If he said he didn't know him, then he didn't know him. Li Guosheng was annoyed. These bastards were all brawn and no brains. They had no sense at all.
Chen Xing looked at the scene in front of him and looked at Li Guosheng with a smile that was not a smile.
Secretary Chen, I will definitely bring these people back to the station and educate them so that they won't dare to cause trouble in the future. Li Guosheng felt a little guilty from Chen Xing's stare. He said with a smile. Although Chen Xing was no longer an official in Sea City, he could still remove his official hat with just a few words. After all, the boss of the Municipal Bureau had a special relationship with Chen Xing. Li Guosheng didn't want Chen Xing to have a bad impression of him.
Education was necessary, but they couldn't forget to check if they had committed any crimes. Chen Xing's expression was calm as he turned to look at his eldest uncle. Only then did a smile appear on his face. Eldest uncle, where did Little Yang go? Ask him to come back and let the police take a statement. I believe that the police will investigate this matter thoroughly.
Yes, yes, we will definitely investigate clearly. As long as there is any crime, we will punish them according to the law. Li Guosheng nodded like a chick pecking at grains. He didn't even know what was going on, but since Chen Xing had spoken, he wouldn't dare to say anything. However, Li Guosheng didn't need to think to know that it was related to Wang Jinming. Wang Jinming was usually very filial to him, but at this moment, Li Guosheng was cursing all eight generations of Wang Jinming's ancestors. What kind of people did they raise? They only f * cking caused trouble.
