Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"Quick, it's just ahead!"

At the entrance of Qianjia Village, Luo Ling, panting, pointed the way.

Ye Chen looked in the direction Luo Ling was pointing and his face darkened.

The two familiar faces that came into view were Zhao Changshun and Dong Hao, who had just interacted with Ye Chen.

"This guy..."

Dong Hao also noticed Ye Chen's presence.

He snorted coldly and ignored him completely.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen took the initiative to step forward, blocking Zhao Changshun's path, and asked softly.

"Comrade Zhao, the woman behind you is my ex-wife. I wonder what she did wrong?"

At this moment, Qian Jiali's hands were bound by silver handcuffs, her head was lowered, and her eyes were lifeless.

Hearing Ye Chen's voice, he finally looked up.

His eyes were filled with surprise!

Why is Ye Chen here?

Moreover, this good-for-nothing has always been a bully at home. In the past, whenever he went out, he wouldn't dare to talk to anyone except his cronies.

Nowadays, people are willing to take the initiative to chat with police officers.

Who gave Ye Chen the audacity?

"I don't want you to tell me what to do!" Qian Jiali blurted out instinctively.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen frowned and reprimanded him.

"Shut up! You made a mistake and don't even know how to repent. Who gave you the right to sell medicine?"

Qian Jiali then realized her current predicament and felt somewhat guilty.

How could I dare say anything more?

Seeing that Qian Jiali had become obedient, Ye Chen hurriedly tried to curry favor with Zhao Changshun.

"Comrade Zhao, my ex-wife was immature and had no experience with the law. Her father was an old doctor, and she grew up following him to treat villagers. She was used to it."

"This was just to supplement our household income, not an intentional crime, Comrade Zhao. We admit our mistake. Could you please consider our sincere attitude and give us a lighter sentence?"

"If there's anything we need your cooperation with, just let us know. We will absolutely not resist and we guarantee to support the police officers!"

"Don't you think it's too late to admit your mistake now? Selling counterfeit medicine is tantamount to murder for profit. Do you know the consequences of this?"

Before Zhao Changshun could speak, Dong Hao had already stepped forward and berated Ye Chen.

As I spoke, I felt exceptionally happy.

You looked down on me before, and now you dare to talk back to me?

Now that you're in my hands, the evidence is irrefutable. Watch how I deal with you!

"This...it can't be that serious, can it?"

Ye Chen sensed Dong Hao's malice, but instead of turning hostile, he pleaded with a fawning expression.

"Comrade Zhao, at most I was practicing medicine without a license in the early stages. To say that I was selling counterfeit drugs would be a much more serious matter."

"He grew up with his father, so his medical skills are genuine; those medicines really do cure diseases!"

"Even though it's a folk remedy, it doesn't warrant murder for money, does it? Comrade Zhao, although it's just a difference of a few words, the consequences are completely different!"

"Please, please put in a good word for us then, at least give us a chance to make amends. I promise my ex-wife, we will never do anything reckless again!"

"Opportunity? Even murderers want opportunities. Does that mean we should give everyone who says that a chance?"

Dong Hao spoke again, kicking someone when they're down.

Seeing that he kept pestering him, Ye Chen clenched his fists, unable to hold back any longer.

I was not being unreasonable or making a fuss; I admitted my mistake as soon as I opened my mouth. It was just a matter of discussing how to characterize the issue.

But with just one sentence from Dong Hao, Qian Jiali was labeled a murderer. If this were reported, how could the Qian family possibly survive?

"That's enough!"

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Zhao Changshun finally spoke up, reaching out to stop Dong Hao and angrily rebuking him.

Then, he turned to Ye Chen and patiently said, "Your ex-wife's matter was reported first, and we, as the police, must handle it impartially!"

"But don't worry, I will explain everything clearly when we get back. As for whether those medicines are real or fake, further testing is needed."

"We'll only be able to determine the nature of this matter once the results are in. Until then, we promise not to do anything reckless. Are you relieved now?"

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He knew Qian Jiali's capabilities!

Having followed her father around practicing medicine since childhood, Qian Jiali's medical ethics alone would make it impossible for her to sell counterfeit medicine!

As long as it's not a case of murder for money, there's still room for maneuver in this matter.

Even under a crackdown, practicing medicine without a license is not a capital offense; however, while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is inevitable.

A hefty fine will likely be unavoidable in the end.

"Comrade Zhao, you are very reasonable. I thank you in advance. Here's what we'll do: you can take the person away. I promise I won't stop you."

"However, my ex-wife is timid. I'll go with her to the police station, and you'll supervise the whole process. Could you make an exception?"

"What do you think the police station is?"

"Alright, Ye Chen, you're a smart man. Since you understand the law, I'll do you a favor. You and your ex-wife can get in the car together later!"

"No whispering, no talking nonsense, understand?"

Faced with Ye Chen's plea, Dong Hao spoke again, but this time before he could finish speaking, Zhao Changshun had already nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was even more grateful.

He then turned around and gave some instructions to Luo Ling and Tian Xiaohui, who both looked worried.

"You two go back first and keep an eye on the house. I'll take care of Jiali; I guarantee nothing will happen!"

After saying this, Ye Chen didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped forward to Qian Jiali's side.

Then, he took Qian Jiali's hand and comforted her.

"Jiali, the police are handling the case according to procedure, and we must cooperate. However, I'll go to the police station with you!"

"Comrade Zhao just said he won't wrong you, so don't worry. Even if the sky falls, I'll be with you. Don't overthink it, we'll get through this together!"

Normally, based on Ye Chen's impression on Qian Jiali, she wouldn't believe anything Ye Chen said.

But at this moment, facing Ye Chen's sincere gaze, Qian Jiali nodded as if possessed.

My previously anxious heart felt much more at ease!

"I believe you!"

Qian Jiali looked directly at Ye Chen and nodded firmly.

The dialogue just now subconsciously reminded Qian Jiali of how Ye Chen comforted her when her father had just had an accident.

When his father attempted suicide and was being treated in the hospital, Ye Chen saved his life and stayed by his side during that most difficult time!

In the hospital, he leaned weakly against the corridor wall.

Ye Chen held her hand firmly and said comforting words to her!

Let's go!

Seeing how well-behaved Qian Jiali was, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then took the initiative to walk towards the police car.

"Brother Zhao, isn't this a bit too much?"

Dong Hao stood still, watching Ye Chen walk four or five meters before lowering his voice and asking Zhao Changshun.

Zhao Changshun waved his hand and explained.

"When we arrest people and handle cases, we only care about the results. As long as the parties involved cooperate, a little leniency will make things easier!"

"This Ye Chen is a man, after all. Since he's cooperating, let's try our best to satisfy him!"

After saying this, Zhao Changshun stepped forward to catch up with the two men.

Dong Hao gritted his teeth fiercely.

What kind of bewitching potion did Ye Chen give Zhao Changshun?

Damn it, I have to find a way to teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the hatred in my heart!
