Rise of a Nobody

Chapter 18

At this point, even Zhao Changsheng, the fearless fellow, felt a bit uneasy. He had not expected Chen Biaozi to pin the matter on the Li family. Now, the Li family was the village party secretary, and they were facing an election. Moreover, the Chen family and several other major surnames were threatening to bring down the Li family.

'What are you yelling about? Try yelling again,' Yu Shengcai got angry too.

'I'll yell if I want to. Director Yu, it's my wife who's gone, not yours. If it were your wife, then you try,' Zhao Changsheng retorted.

'How dare you curse me,' Yu Shengcai fumed with anger. Since there was only Zhao Changsheng and Chen Biaozi in the room, he gave Zhao Changsheng a look. Zhao Changsheng turned and went out, standing guard at the door.

Then came a series of crashing sounds from inside, interspersed with Chen Biaozi's screams, and the sound of furniture being pushed onto the floor.

'Chen Biaozi, let me tell you, don't bring up your wife running away as an issue. If you dare to provoke a fight between the Li family and the Chen family, I swear I'll send you to jail.'

'What right do you have to hit me? What right? It's my wife who's gone, and you don't go looking for her, but instead you come hitting me. I'm going to report you.'

Although Chen Biaozi was tough-mouthed, he felt guilty inside, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly to Yu Shengcai. "Why should I? You know very well. Let's not even talk about how your wife disappeared, do you have any idea where she came from? Trafficking women, and even letting her bear you a child, chaining her with iron chains, restricting her personal freedom, illegal detention, which of these charges can you escape? I'm not dealing with you because I feel that we're from the same village, and it's not easy for you to find a woman. I've turned a blind eye, but if you provoke a clan fight between the Li family and the Chen family, I'm telling you, if I don't put you in jail for twenty years, I'll change my surname from Yu. I give you one minute to think about it." "But she, she really is gone." "I don't care. At least you have a daughter to take care of you in your old age. You have thirty seconds left," Yu Shengcai said coldly. After a while, Chen Biaozi followed behind Yu Shengcai and shouted to the people in the yard, "Everyone disperse, it's alright, the wife ran away by herself, she had another episode of madness, if anyone sees her, bring her back, if not, just forget it." Everyone was stunned; the situation had changed too quickly. Just a moment ago, it was life and death, and now, in just a short while, he had changed his tune. "What are you looking at? Everyone go back to what you were doing, waiting for a free meal?" Yu Shengcai bellowed. The crowd slowly dispersed, and Yu Shengcai breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, glared at Zhao Changsheng, and walked towards the village committee. "Zhao Changsheng, I know who did this, but I don't want to meddle anymore. Starting today, you stay here at Lujialing for me, and you can go back after the election is over. During these days, you must ensure that nothing else happens. Can you do that?"

Yu Shengcai turned to look at Zhao Changsheng. 'Superintendent, don't look at me. Even if you do, I can't do it. With such a big village, I couldn't manage even if I didn't eat or drink, let alone prevent accidents.' 'Hmph, I don't care. If something happens again, I will definitely get to the bottom of Chen Biaozi's wife being stolen. Do you understand what I mean?' 'I don't understand.' 'You're quite stubborn. If you don't understand, think about it yourself. Do I have to spell it out for you?' After giving Zhao Changsheng his instructions, Yu Shengcai drove off. Watching the van disappear at the end of the village, Zhao Changsheng actually felt a sense of relief. He was glad he hadn't gone back! If he had, he would have done something to his wife. Li Jianshe was a bachelor, having been widowed for several years. Now his eldest daughter took care of his household. His eldest daughter was married to Wang Laohu from the Wang family in the village, who was famously known for gambling. As a result, his eldest daughter often stayed at her parents' home, making Wang Laohu's house notorious as a gambling den in the area. 'Are you Officer Zhao?' Just as Zhao Changsheng was imagining going to Wushan with Tian Fengxia, a woman called out to him from behind. 'Oh, yes, I am. Who are you?'

"My father is the village party secretary. He just sent me to call you home for a meal," she said. "Oh, okay, I'll go right away. Should I call you Sister Li? I've been causing you trouble these past few days." "No problem, let's go." After saying this, the woman turned and walked out of the village committee office, with Zhao Changsheng following behind. It was evident that this woman's family wasn't doing well, which puzzled Zhao Changsheng somewhat. After all, she was the daughter of the village head. Why was she dressed like this, in a pair of floral pants that looked many years old? Although she wasn't dressed well, the curves outlined were still very enticing. Everything that should be firm was firm, and everything that should be pert was pert. Walking behind the woman, watching her large buttocks sway back and forth, Xiao Er Lv suddenly showed signs of revival. Zhao Changsheng quickly suppressed the feeling.
