Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 464: Village Chief Yang Gets Arrested

"Damn it, Yang Zhanqi, you actually called the police," Village Chief Yang said, his face darkening immediately upon hearing the distant commotion.

"Old Yang, if it wasn’t for you screwing me over, would I have to do this?

I never imagined you’d even dare to murder your own brother," Yang Zhanqi said with a cold face.

He couldn’t believe that he had treated such a man as a brother for so long and was almost killed by him just moments ago.

The more Yang Zhanqi thought about it, the angrier he got; if it weren’t for the arriving police, he really wanted to kill the bastard.

"Mr. Public Security, this man is heartless, I just found him, and he tried to smash my head with a shovel. If I hadn’t been quick, he would have hit me.

I would probably be dead if I fell into this pit. I could only desperately fight back with the shovel, and unexpectedly, I ended up stabbing his hand.

This was pure self-defense; I was truly afraid he would kill me just like he killed his brother," Yang Zhanqi quickly explained to the police as soon as he saw them.

After all, Village Chief Yang had already committed murder and was liable to pay with his life.

Now, after hearing these words and seeing the wounds on Yang Zhanqi, the police conducted an investigation of the scene, then immediately arrested Village Chief Yang.

Village Chief Yang’s wife and son stood at the entrance of the village, staring with panic and fear as the man was taken into custody.

The villagers of Yang Village were also shocked, standing at the village entrance, watching the departing police and discussing amongst themselves, "I can’t believe Village Chief Yang murdered his own brother.

How could he be so cruel? That was his own flesh and blood! Even for the position of village chief, it’s no excuse for murder."

"And to think that on any given day, Village Chief Yang might seem a bit greedy, but who knew he could do something so cruel? You really can’t judge a book by its cover."

Aunt Yang was dumbfounded, surprised that Village Chief Yang had been arrested.

After the initial shock, her face lit up with joy. She was considering how to apologize to Village Chief Yang.

Now she didn’t need to apologize anymore.

Late in the evening, as night fell, Aunt Yang’s family was lying in bed resting when they heard a knock at the door.

Uncle Yang got up, dressed, and walked to the yard. In an instant, a sack fell, followed by a wail of misery. Aunt Yang’s face filled with panic as she yelled out towards the yard, "Zhan Quan?

Zhan Quan, what happened to you?

Eldest Son, Second Son, Third Son, hurry out! Something’s wrong with your father - are there thieves in our house?"

Aunt Yang was too scared to go out herself and could only call her children for help.

The rest of the Yang children were extremely frightened, ignoring Aunt Yang’s cries. They hugged themselves and curled up in bed, not daring to go out.

The tragic screams outside gradually subsided, and in the blink of an eye, several people who had been beating Uncle Yang entered the house.

The home of Aunt Yang was filled with cries.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying had already been in the hospital for more than a week, and her recovery in all aspects was almost complete. She was ready to be discharged.

Early in the morning, Huo Chen took care of Xu Ying’s discharge procedures, packed up, and began heading home.

Concerned that Xu Ying would feel uncomfortable sitting in the car, he had even laid out thick bedding in the back seat.

The family then started onto the road to go home.

At the same time, Yu County Food Factory’s performance was getting worse and worse, many workers had been sent home.

Furthermore, the villagers of Yu County had written whistleblowing letters, all accusing Director Zhang of corruption; he was nowhere fit to be director.

After a long investigation by Director Gu and door-to-door inquiries by some officials, the overwhelming majority of people had nothing but praise for Director Gu.

Moreover, with the Xu Family’s ledger records and the letter left by Mr. Xu, Director Gu was ultimately released from accusation.

Director Zhang, due to his poor management, had led to the decline of the Yu County Food Factory’s economy.

Finally, the higher-level leaders personally came to Yu County to launch an investigation into Director Zhang.

""

Director Zhang played the innocent victim, "Director, you’re slandering me. Since I took over, I have been devoted to serving the people wholeheartedly.

I haven’t dared to slack off even for a day, and more than that, I’ve considered our fellow citizens and shared the deep-fried snacks and braised food recipes with the markets in other districts.

Perhaps it was because I only thought about the people outside and completely overlooked how sharing these recipes could affect the Yu County Food Factory.

I must reflect on this matter, but as for the other issues you mentioned, they really have nothing to do with me.

I was just a deputy director, and it was only after the incident with the previous director that I was appointed as the director.

If you don’t believe in my abilities, you can absolutely have me return to the position of deputy director."

No sooner had he said this than the expression on Director Sun’s face instantly changed—Director Zhang was challenging his previous decision.

If he actually removed Director Zhang from his position, wouldn’t that prove his lack of judgment?

Moreover, to demote Director Zhang just over the incident at the Yu County Food Factory would suggest to other district leaders that he was petty.

Especially since some of the districts that received the recipes weren’t from their province but from others.

If he punished Director Zhang over this, certainly other provincial leaders would blame him.

Director Sun was now caught in a dilemma.

Seeing Director Sun like this, Director Zhang quickly played his card, "Director Sun, part of the reason our food factory has suddenly fallen into this condition is actually because of the past Minister Xu."

"How so?" asked Director Sun with curiosity.

"Director, what’s most important for a factory now is constant innovation.

Minister Xu previously disobeyed instructions, was suspended, and not only did she not change her behavior, but she also resigned and never returned.

That’s an outright opposition to our government.

How can a worker be so self-serving that they strike just because a leader has said a few words?"

Director Sun nodded upon hearing this, his face suddenly looking a bit ugly.

But there’s nothing he could do about someone who doesn’t want to work anymore.

"And not only that, the family of Minister Xu had previously grown vegetables in their greenhouses that contained poison, causing our county’s people to end up in the hospital after eating them.

I believe Minister Xu definitely needs to be educated," Director Zhang said irritably.

If it weren’t for her disappearing, would he have been criticized by the leadership?

And then there’s Huo Chen, who had promised to obey him and help him properly. But after signing the contract that time, the man just vanished.

It was infuriating, but searching high and low yielded no results; he was now at a loss.

If this guy didn’t come back soon, he would target Huo Chen’s grandmother.

He had heard that Huo Chen had grown up dependent on this grandmother and held deep affection for her.

He refused to believe that Huo Chen wouldn’t return with his grandmother in his hands.

"Director Sun, Minister Xu is talented. If she could be properly educated, our food factory could certainly become glorious once again," Director Zhang said with fervor.

Director Sun felt that this made sense upon hearing it.

He nodded, "Then I’ll leave this matter for you to handle."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang looked troubled, "Director, right now Minister Xu’s family and Huo Chen seem to be away from home.

When I went to their house last time, their relatives were unwilling to answer me and kept avoiding my questions."

Director Sun immediately became furious upon hearing this, "You’re a director and you’re afraid of these people? You are their leader; they should cooperate with you.

Take me to Xujia Village right now; I want to have a word with these people."
