Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 955: 955 Backing

Zhao Qingxiang grabbed the person’s hand excitedly, "Thank you, comrade. Please, you must help us seek justice."

Tang Shusen nodded, "Don’t worry, we will. Let’s go, I’ll take you there, and we’ll give you an explanation soon. Do you know where the police station is?"

Zhao Qingxiang nodded, "Comrade, we know."

"Alright, I’ll go ahead and wait for you."

Tang Shusen arrived at the police station and briefed the chief about the Zhao Family’s situation. "From what I understand, they want to handle it seriously, and those at the top are waiting for updates."

Chief Hu Haicheng nodded, "I understand, this matter is meant to be made an example of."

They all understood, and it’s said that the person in charge is a young woman who is very intolerant of such matters.

When Zhao Qingxiang and his group arrived by car, Hu Haicheng personally received them. Tang Shusen listened from the side.

Someone even served them hot water and they were placed in the warmest room.

Zhao Qingxiang recounted the whole incident, with others adding details on the side.

"Our farm’s accountant saw it personally, and today we ran into Xu Hongbing. He admitted he was wrong and said he’d ended it with that woman. When he heard we were calling Yuanyuan, he ran off. But we followed him and found out where he and that woman live."

Hu Haicheng nodded, "Please have this comrade lead our men to apprehend them. Rest assured, they won’t escape."

Sun Yun mustered up courage, "Leader, you must catch that shameless woman."

"Alright, rest assured, as you said, we’ll send people to investigate right away, they won’t escape.

You comrades rest in this room first; you haven’t had lunch yet, right? In an hour, the canteen here will be open, I’ll give you a note, and you can eat here.

Rest assured, we’ll give you a satisfactory account. And it’s better not to live with a man like this; after all, there are plenty of good men with two legs out there, unlike three-legged frogs."

This relaxed everyone. They all took off their coats, as the room was very warm. There was a large kettle boiling water, and Sun Yun placed some sweet potatoes near the stove, which they had brought to eat on the road. Now that there was no one else around and someone was handling the matter, they realized they were hungry.

Zhao Qingjie, along with the local police officers, arrived at the entrance just in time to see Xu Hongbing trying to drive away.

He realized when he got home that he shouldn’t have returned, he should have convinced Zhao Xiaojing to forgive him. So he gathered all his money and put it on him, preparing to find them again. It seemed like he shouldn’t return here in the future.

He still believed Zhao Xiaojing would forgive him, but in fact, he looked down on her, which is why he dared to act this way.

But as soon as he stepped out, he saw several uniformed people outside, along with Zhao Qingjie.

"You are Xu Hongbing? Come with us."

Xu Hongbing was taken aback, his face full of disbelief. "Second Brother, why?"

Zhao Qingjie sneered, "You ask me why?"

"Can’t we resolve this within the family?"

"Enough talk, bring us to that woman, this is your chance, or else..."

The policeman didn’t finish, but Xu Hongbing knew he should comply, which would pacify the Zhao Family and make future communication easier.

So he nodded and agreed. The donkey cart was still hitched in the courtyard. Xu Hongbing obediently led them to Huang Mei’s house.

The two houses weren’t far apart, just separated by a street.

Huang Mei hadn’t gotten up yet; she did nothing all day and lay down on the bed to sleep after lunch. Hearing a knock, she didn’t ask and opened the door to see Xu Hongbing and several uniformed people, which surprised her.

"Xu Hongbing, what do you mean by this?"

"Are you Huang Mei?"

Huang Mei didn’t respond, just stared at Xu Hongbing.

Zhao Qingjie watched from the side, thinking honestly that this woman wasn’t as pretty as his second sister. But since she didn’t work and maintained herself well, she looked different.

"Come with us, will you go on your own, or do we have to tie you up?"

Huang Mei let out a cold laugh, "I’ll walk by myself." What was she afraid of? She was just a widow, who could she fear?

By now, some people had come to watch the commotion, mostly a group of women. "Ugh, ridden by everyone, now she’s caught, truly heaven’s justice."

"Changsheng’s family, is that the man who’s been staying here frequently?"

"Isn’t it? He borrowed coal from my house once."

"Caught now, huh?"

"Should have been caught earlier. It’s because Huang Mei’s husband was a good guy that we didn’t want to associate with her. Justice prevails!"

Zhao Qingjie heard their words, bowed towards those speaking, "Ladies, this man is my brother-in-law, he harmed my sister. If you are needed as witnesses, I hope you will speak fairness."

They were startled but didn’t say anything.

Then an older policeman said, "No worries, I’ll come collect the evidence."

This reassured Zhao Qingjie. The group returned to the police station.

Xu Hongbing and Huang Mei were both detained. During the body search, they found keys and a lot of money.

Due to Su Yuanyuan’s connections, the belongings went to the Zhao Family.

Zhao Qingxiang handed it to Hai Jun directly, "Your mom is out of sorts right now, you take this."

"Uncle, you keep it for me. I’m scared."

Zhao Qingxiang counted the money in front of Hai Jun, totaling one thousand three hundred fifty-six yuan, before placing it into the inner pocket of his cotton jacket and buttoning it for safety.

"Xiao Jing, is this house the one Xu Hongbing bought in the city? Do you know?"

Zhao Xiaojing nodded, "I know, the deed is at home."

So Zhao Qingjie and the others were reassured. They had lunch at the canteen, unexpectedly getting the chance to eat there. Sun Yun and Qi Xue Mei, the two sisters-in-law, were a bit excited.

"Having a formal job is indeed good. Look at how well they eat, clean every day." Qi Xue Mei was truly envious, "I must tell Zhixue to study hard, like his Aunt Yuanyuan, get an education, and find a job like this!"

Sun Yun listened and also agreed with her cousin. Even if the three daughters could have such jobs in the future, it would be good. When they got old, they could rely on their daughters and not ask their sons for money.

She thought she must explain to the three girls when she got back, that they must study hard and get a good job. They were counting on them.

The room was warm, they were full, and since they hadn’t slept all night, the Zhao Family all fell asleep.

Hu Haicheng began the interrogation, Xu Hongbing realized everything was over, so he said nothing.
