Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

Upon hearing what the other person said, Sun Mengjia became anxious.

"What do you mean?!"

"Damn it, how are we being illegally detained? How are we involved in a pyramid scheme?"

"Damn it, Xiaoxue is right here with us. We're at the police station in Qizhou."

"Instead of trying to figure out the situation and how to get Xiaoxue out of the mud pit, you're helping that awful family of relatives investigate Xiaoxue. Now you're even believing what they're saying, that Jiang Chen is involved in pyramid schemes and is illegally detaining her."

"I fucking laughed."

"You guys are so awesome, how come... let me finish!"

Jiang Chen glared fiercely at Sun Mengjia.

Seeing Jiang Chen's gaze, Sun Mengjia fell silent.

But she still pursed her lips.

Jiang Chen quickly explained, "I know you must have called about Xiaoxue. She's right here with us."

"We are at the police station right now. I can guarantee her health and let the man in the hat over here talk to you. That was my little sister. She is young and doesn't know any better. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Actually, Sun Mengjia has been misunderstanding one thing all along.

If they call you to cooperate with an investigation instead of arresting you directly, it's usually nothing serious.

Because you can make ample preparations before you go.

To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Chen is a bad guy, if he destroys the evidence and has a plan for how to deal with it, it will greatly increase the difficulty of solving the case.

So, when people say that, they don't really consider you a heinous criminal.

It was just a routine check-up.

We can't just do nothing after receiving a report.

If that's the case, then Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to find the trail of the woman with long, straight black hair earlier.

But Sun Mengjia has a fiery temper; she's quick-witted about small things and is always effective at roasting people.

However, things are prone to going wrong when it comes to important matters.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen is averse to trouble and too lazy to argue over trivial matters, but he is clear-headed when it comes to important matters.

After all, he's Uncle Hat.

As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings.

Some things are as heavy as four ounces on a scale, but as heavy as a thousand gold pieces on a scale.

It's hard to say whether the money provided by the system can withstand investigation.

Seeing that the other party's tone had softened slightly, Jiang Chen explained, "Uncle Hat, I'm currently in Qizhou, the provincial capital, at the police station, dealing with the matter of Zhao Xue's disappearance. The police officers here have already learned about the situation."

"How about this? I'll go back this afternoon, complete the paperwork, and explain things clearly."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Chen smiled and said to the two women, "Alright, it's all over. This afternoon, let's go back to Jiangcheng Police Station and settle this matter once and for all."

Sun Mengjia was still unwilling.

"I've already recorded everything here, why do I have to go again?"

"It's so unlucky to keep going to the police station during the Lunar New Year!"

"If they want to find us, then let them find us themselves."

"Damn it, instead of investigating Zhao Xue's second uncle, they're investigating us."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "It's not good to leave debts unpaid in the new year, or you'll be covered in lawsuits next year. Besides, this matter needs to be dealt with properly, so that Uncle Hat back home knows about the situation, to avoid any further trouble in the future."

Sun Mengjia pouted: "So you're the good guy and I'm the bad guy? Fine, I won't cooperate with Uncle Hat!"

What Jiang Chen didn't say was...

If Sun Mengjia didn't say a word, judging from the other party's attitude, having Hei Chang make a phone call and explain the situation in person might resolve the issue.

If all else fails, explain the situation and then show up at the police station after the New Year.

But Sun Mengjia immediately started cursing, saying that if you don't go home soon, you might not have a peaceful New Year.

They're all just getting paid to work.

Why should I get a scolding from you just because I'm doing my job?

But Jiang Chen didn't want to teach Sun Mengjia these principles here.

I've already refuted her enough today.

We've stopped her from speaking enough already.

There's a saying that you should discipline your son in person and your wife in private, so there's no reason to scold Sun Mengjia right now.

She's still young, and these principles need to be taught to her little by little.

Besides, she is a young woman, full of vigor and spirit. It wouldn't be good for her to be as old-fashioned and gloomy as I am.

However, Zhao Xue understood Jiang Chen. She looked at Jing Chen gratefully and, holding Sun Mengjia's hand, advised, "Jiajia, Brother Jiang Chen is right. If we don't clarify things, what if my uncle calls the police again on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, and Uncle Hat comes to our house to investigate?"

Sun Mengjia was both angry and amused:

"Okay, okay, I've run around doing everything for you, worrying and fretting, and now you two are on the same side, right?"

"You two get out of here, I'm not serving you anymore!"

Uncle Hat's lips twitched as he watched this scene.

This guy is really something.

He found two young, energetic girls all at once.

It was really fun.

But it's really a headache.

Three women make a drama, but two 'energetic' girls are more terrifying than thirty women!

To prevent the two women from causing a huge commotion at the police station, the young man in the hat gave the three of them a lecture and then personally escorted them out.

At the door, Jiang Chen tightly grasped the hand of the young man in the hat:

"Uncle Hat, thank you so much!"

"I must present you with a banner."

The young man in the hat's eyes lit up instantly.

Although she really wanted it, she quickly waved her hand, her face turning a little red: "No, no, we have rules, we can't accept it. This is our job, it's what we should do."

Jiang Chen said with a serious expression, "Whether you accept it or not is your business, but I can't not give it to you. This is my token of appreciation, and you can't deny me even the chance to express my feelings!"

"Moreover, this may be a trivial matter to you, but to Zhao Xue, it is a life-saving grace."

"I not only want to present a banner, but also write a letter of thanks and send it to the Municipal Bureau."

The young man in the hat's eyes lit up even more, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

These days, it's rare to see people who are so sensible and know how to handle things.

If a thank-you letter were sent, at least a six-month performance evaluation would be secured.

"That would be so embarrassing."

Although she said that, she became unusually enthusiastic: "Do you need a taxi?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "My car is parked at the hospital."

The young man in the hat laughed: "Come on, get in the car, I'll take you there. It's almost Chinese New Year, there are lots of people taking taxis but few driving, when will we ever get one? It'll be a piece of cake for me to step on the gas."

……

Not far away, Camry,

Qiangzi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He followed him all the way and waited at the door for an hour. He thought Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to come out and was about to leave.

So, Jiang Chen just swaggered out like that?

No handcuffs!

No escort!

Jiang Chen acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with the man in the hat, shaking hands and making peace with him.

Finally, the man in the hat even personally opened the car door for Jiang Chen and helped him into the police car.

Seeing the police car leave, Qiangzi quickly followed.

Seeing Uncle Hat escort Jiang Chen to the hospital entrance, pat Jiang Chen on the shoulder, and watch Jiang Chen drive away before reluctantly returning to the police car, Qiangzi swallowed hard.

I felt like the sky had fallen.

"Wife, slap me."

Feeling the distinct pain, Qiangzi finally snapped out of his daze and asked blankly, "Weren't Uncle in the hat chatting and laughing with him like good buddies just now?"

Zhang Li was also stunned, and simply said "yes" woodenly.

Did he get on the bus and leave by himself?

"Yes."

Does this mean he didn't do anything wrong at all?

"Yes."

"Did I speak ill of him in the group chat?"

"Yes."

"Did you miss out on a commission of one or two hundred thousand?"

"Yes."

"Did I even send my dad to the village chief's house to yell at him?"

"Yes."

Qiangzi was about to cry.

It’s over.

It's completely over!

This isn't an arrest, this is clearly a guest of honor.

He recalled the fabricated videos and voice messages he had just sent in the group chat, and felt a chill run down his spine.

If Jiang Chen didn't commit a crime, then it's him who did.

This is slander and defamation!

What's even more terrifying is that, just now, in order to vent his anger, he called his father and asked him to go to the village chief's house and yell at him.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly and frantically dialed his father's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered. My uncle's smug voice came through the other end, accompanied by a lot of background noise.

"Hey, how's it going? Is Jiang Chen really locked up?"

"Dad, stop talking, where are you now?" Qiangzi was about to cry.

"I'm at the village chief's house!"

The eldest uncle's voice boomed: "I showed the video to the village chief, and I'm pointing my finger at that old snob and yelling at him right now."

"I'll make him pay for helping Jiang Chen bully me. I'll curse him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him, or I'm not a Wang!"

Qiangzi felt a sudden darkness engulf him, as if the sky had fallen.

"Dad, run!"

"Jiang Chen wasn't arrested, and he's even friends with Uncle Hat!"

My uncle was completely dumbfounded.

"No, what did you say?"

At the same time, village chief Wang Jinming's cold laughter came through the phone: "You were the one who insulted me just now, weren't you? You were the one who insulted me and slandered Jiang Chen in the group chat, weren't you?"

……

On the other side, Jiang Chen drove his M9, taking the two women back to the hospital to retrieve their belongings.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was a bit strange.

Jiang Chen gripped the steering wheel, but felt a chill run down his back.

Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw Sun Mengjia and Xiaoxue, two beautiful women, staring at him with a greenish gaze.

That look in his eyes didn't seem like he was looking at a benefactor, but rather like he was looking at a piece of freshly cooked Tang Monk's flesh.

It looked as if it was about to pounce on him and devour him completely, leaving not even a bone fragment.

Just then.

"Ding-dong!"

Jiang Chen's phone beeped, and when he looked at the car's infotainment screen, he saw a notification from the medical examination center's app:

[Dear VIP customer, your expedited medical examination report (infectious disease screening) has been issued. Please click to view the results.]

Jiang Chen's heart suddenly raced.

The result is out!
