Chapter 280: Liu Hong Is Captured

"Morning, Mr. Zhao. Have you eaten yet?"

"Hi, Uncle Zhao."

Yun Jiao had come along too. Her dad lifted her off the motorcycle, and she waved her little hand to greet Police Li.

The expression on Zhao Jian Country’s stern, square-jawed face softened when he saw Yun Jiao.

"Well, well, well, Jiaojiao is here too."

Yun Jiao nodded and trotted over on her short little legs to greet him properly, as if she were a little adult.

"Yup, I came with my dad and my little uncle. Uncle Zhao, did that bad thief confess all the bad things he did?"

The little girl was purely there for the gossip.

Zhao Jian Country raised an eyebrow slightly. "He actually did confess a few things."

A look of delight immediately appeared on Yun Linhe’s face.

"We need to pay a visit to that Liu Hong. The man’s name is Liu Wa. He’s committed quite a few crimes in the past—theft, robbery, and he was even involved in smuggling goods. A portion of the money was given to that woman, Liu Hong. What’s more, besides her connection to Liu Wa, she’s also involved with those smugglers."

Yun Linhe clicked his tongue. ’That woman has some serious nerve.’

"Can we go with you officers?"

"Sure, let’s go together."

"But we’ll be on bicycles."

Motorcycles were a luxury the station couldn’t afford to provide for every officer.

Yun Linhe scratched his head. "Why don’t you guys go ahead? We won’t take the motorcycle either. I have to go back and tell my wife first. We’ll take the public bus."

After they made their plan, Yun Jiao raised her hands. "I want to go! I want to go too!"

"Of course, of course. We wouldn’t dream of going without you."

Yun Linhe picked her up and playfully tapped her on the nose.

"I don’t know who you get it from, you little rascal. You always have to be where the action is."

Yun Jiao: Hehe...

"I’m the big hero! I’m the one who discovered it, after all."

"You bet. Our Jiaojiao is the best."

They rode the motorcycle to say a quick hello to Yun Jiao’s master, dropped off some seafood, and then left.

"Master, I’ll come back another day! I’m busy today."

Her master waved his hand in mock annoyance. "Go on, go on, get out of here."

Back home, as soon as they explained what was happening, Wang Mei didn’t say another word. She sped up feeding the pigs, then changed her clothes and started dragging Shen Yunlian out the door.

"Hurry, hurry! If we’re late and I miss seeing that woman get arrested, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Shen Yunlian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "It probably won’t happen that quickly."

The whole family went, except for those still in school. Even Yun Chenbei was called to come along.

The entire group neatly boarded the public bus and headed for Wang Family Village.

The police were on bicycles and had to complete some paperwork before making the arrest, so by the time the Yun family arrived, the officers hadn’t gotten there yet.

So they decided to go to Father and Mrs. Wang’s house first.

Mrs. Wang was panting with effort as she chopped pig feed, so she was puzzled to see such a large group of people show up.

"What brings you all here?"

Wang Mei asked, "Mom, have Big Brother and his lot come looking for trouble?"

"He wouldn’t dare!"

At the mention of Wang Dali, Mrs. Wang got so angry that she started chopping the pig feed with more force.

"That ungrateful wolf! As far as this family is concerned, he doesn’t exist!"

Although Father Wang had said some harsh things that day, they hadn’t expected Wang Dali to actually never contact them again. He didn’t even come by to apologize.

The two elders were completely disappointed in their eldest son. Mrs. Wang cursed Wang Dali’s name at home every day.

Wang Mei walked over, picked up a knife, and started helping chop the pig feed.

"Mom, don’t be angry. Just relax. Even without Big Brother, you still have Third Brother and Fourth Brother, and you have me. Big Brother is unreliable. Third Brother, uh... well, Fourth Brother is still reliable. And if none of them can be counted on, your daughter will provide for you."

Yun Jiao ran over too and popped a piece of candy into the old woman’s mouth.

"Have some candy, Grandaunt. A little sweetness will make you happy. Little Aunt’s mom is Jiaojiao’s family too, so I can provide for you."

The little girl puffed out her chest, looking very responsible.

Mrs. Wang’s gloomy mood was instantly dispelled, and she couldn’t help but be amused.

"What are you giving me this for?"

Although that’s what she said, the corners of her mouth were clearly turned up in a smile.

Shen Yunlian, Yun Linhe, Yun Linhai, and the others also hurried over to help. Some started cooking, some fed the pigs, and others fed the chickens.

Mrs. Wang cried out, "Oh, leave it all be. I can do it. I can handle it."

Shen Yunlian said, "Mother, we’re just helping. It’s no big deal."

"Oh, Mom, don’t mind us. Just think of my sister-in-law as another one of your daughters helping out. Anyway, do you know why we’re here today?"

She said mysteriously, leaving her mother in suspense.

"Why?"

"Liu Wa—the ’Brother Wa’ that Liu Hong is always talking about—has been arrested."

Yun Jiao nodded along like a hype man. "He was caught yesterday. And he got beaten up really badly."

"I helped catch someone too." ’I’m so amazing.’

"Wow, Jiaojiao, you’re so capable!"

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands excitedly. "Good! They should have arrested him! People like that deserve to be sent to a labor camp!"

"So, you’re here today because..."

"Liu Hong is about to be arrested too. The police officers are on their way now."

"What? Really!"

"Yes, yes, good! In that case, I absolutely have to go see it for myself."

"Linhe, go to the back hills and call your father-in-law back."

The old man had to hear this good news too.

’I’ve been wanting to deal with that bitch Liu Hong for a long time. Today, she’s finally getting what she deserves.’

"Okay."

Yun Linhe answered and ran off toward the back hills.

"Hurry, hurry! We have to finish the chores before the police get here."

Mrs. Wang was now full of energy.

Not long after Father Wang returned, a commotion started at the village entrance.

They could faintly hear someone shouting that the police had arrived. Mrs. Wang didn’t even finish her meal; she grabbed her husband and ran outside, not forgetting to call for her daughter and son-in-law to follow.

Yun Linhai scooped up the short-legged Yun Jiao and ran along with them.

It was mealtime at Wang Dali’s house, so the whole family was there.

No sooner had the two police officers arrived than Father and Mrs. Wang, along with the Yun family, showed up right behind them.

And behind them were other villagers who had followed the police to watch the excitement.

Some people climbed onto the wall, while others stood at the gate, pointing and muttering about what was happening inside.

"What’s going on? What did Da Li’s family do wrong?"

"I just saw Da Li’s parents go in too. Don’t tell me something really serious happened."

Soon, Liu Hong’s panicked cries came from inside.

"I didn’t do it! I don’t know any Liu Wa! Let go of me!"
