Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Officer Xu, I can testify to this!"

Zhao Laosan quickly jumped in to smooth things over, saying excitedly, "I witnessed everything Fang Wei did with Mei Yan!"

"The two of them used to talk together a lot, and Fang Wei even went to Mei Yan's house several times!"

Xu Rui glanced at Zhao Laosan and sneered inwardly.

He knew, of course, that there was some exaggeration in what Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan said.

He could see clearly what kind of people these two were just from watching their techniques for so short a moment.

But regardless of the issue, the most important thing is whether this matter can be used against Fang Wei.

"Officer Xu."

Seeing that Xu Rui didn't respond, Zhao Laosan became a little anxious and said in a low voice.

"Think about it, whether this is true or false, as long as Mei Yan insists on it, Fang Wei will never be able to clear his name, even if he jumps into the Yellow River!"

"These kinds of things are inherently difficult to explain. Can Fang Wei's words outwit the three of us?"

Xu Rui didn't respond; the man was right.

Having illicit relationships with women can easily lead to a conviction for hooliganism, which could result in several years in prison or even execution!

This kind of thing doesn't need any irrefutable evidence.

As long as someone files a complaint or makes a scene, the investigation process alone is enough to ruin a person's reputation!

But Xu Rui's current goal is no longer to send Fang Wei to jail.

He wanted to use this incident to his advantage, to force Fang Wei to make money for him!

"You two, close the door first."

Xu Rui leaned back in his chair, his expression suddenly becoming relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Laosan hurriedly ran over and closed the office door, also locking the latch.

"Officer Xu, what do you think we should do about this?"

Xu Rui's gaze swept over the faces of the two people in front of him, and he slowly smiled: "I don't plan to call the police on this matter for now."

"Not going to call the police?"

Zhao Laosan actually guessed right!

Mei Yan's expression turned anxious as she said, "Officer Xu, that beast Fang Wei has done this to me, how can you not call the police?!"

Of course, she didn't want Fang Wei to go to jail either.

All she wants now is for Xu Rui to take people to the Fang family and cause a scene. If Fang Wei really refuses to marry her, then she'll blow up all of Fang Wei's money!

"Sending him to jail is easy, but have you thought about anything else?"

Xu Rui gave Mei Yan a cold look. "Fang Wei is currently carrying a loan of 350 yuan from the credit union."

"If he goes to jail, who will repay the loan? If the credit union can't find Fang Wei, they'll go to his home."

"You all know his family. One woman with seven money-losing daughters. Even if you sold them all, you still couldn't scrape together three hundred and fifty dollars."

Xu Rui was certain that these two men hadn't come to him to call the police; their purpose was the same as his—to get money from Fang Wei!

"When the old forest farm is taken back by the village, the money Fang Wei made from selling wild boars will be confiscated to pay off his debts."

"After all that trouble, did you gain anything in return?"

Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan exchanged a glance, then tentatively asked, "So... what do you mean, Officer Xu?"

"My meaning is very simple."

Xu Rui touched the watch on his wrist and said with a sinister smile, "We'll keep this a secret for Fang Wei."

"Don't call the police, don't report it, just pretend this never happened. But in exchange, Fang Wei must obey me."

"Every penny he earns has to pass through my hands first!"

As he said this, Xu Rui's expression became increasingly frightening.

"In other words, every penny Fang Wei earns in the future will belong to the two of you and me in half."

From then on, his earnings were essentially working for the three of us!

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan felt that they had made the right decision to come.

Xu Rui's idea was even more ruthless than their original plan!

They originally just wanted to take a piece of Fang Wei, but this person wanted to keep Fang Wei as their personal ATM for life!

Scholars are indeed the most cunning!

"Officer Xu! Your idea is brilliant!"

Zhao Laosan gave a thumbs up, his face full of wrinkles from smiling.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This way, no matter how much money Fang Wei makes, he'll have to obediently hand it over to us! He won't dare utter a sound, and if he does, we'll go to the police station and report him!"

"but……"

Mei Yan suddenly frowned and said with some concern, "Fang Wei is different now than before."

"He used to be a coward like a dog, but now he dares to hit people. If pushed too far, he might fight us to the death, right?"

"Fight to the death?"

Xu Rui sneered, completely disregarding his words, and said in a disdainful tone.

"What can he possibly do? As long as we have a firm grip on his weaknesses, he's just a mudfish that can't jump around for long."

"Besides, no matter how ruthless Fang Wei is, he still has to consider his daughters, right?"

"If he doesn't obey, we'll ruin his reputation and make his whole family lose face in public! Then his daughters will never be able to get married!"

Driven by fantasies of a bright future, Xu Rui had forgotten what a bastard Fang Wei had been.

"No matter how ruthless Fang Wei is, he wouldn't gamble with the reputation of his entire family!"

When Mei Yan and Zhao Laosan heard what he said, their last bit of worry was completely relieved.

"Officer Xu is right! Fang Wei's biggest concern right now is his family! As long as we threaten him with this, he'll definitely obey!"

"So when should we go find him?"

Mei Yan was already quite impatient.

The thought that the money in Fang Wei's pocket was about to become hers made her face flush with excitement.

Even if she only gets half of half, that's still tens of yuan!

"This matter cannot be rushed."

Xu Rui thought for a moment and said, "We need to pick a good opportunity to catch him like a turtle in a jar."

"and,"

He glanced at Mei Yan and said slowly, "Since you are the aggrieved party, then you should play your part convincingly."

"This matter can't be blown out of proportion, otherwise it will be bad for us. But we can't just be the three of us going to him, otherwise he might turn around and bite us."

"Okay, I'll go find the directors of Laotang Village and Xiatian Village tomorrow morning, and then we'll go directly to intercept Fang Wei."

"When Village Chief Zhou and the others are about to call the police, you can step in and give them a way out. Won't they be begging us for forgiveness then?"

Zhao Laosan nodded repeatedly as he listened.

This Xu Rui is far more cunning and scheming than these gambling addicts!

The three of them discussed the matter in the office for a while, finalizing the specific details of the operation.

By the time Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan came out of the neighborhood office, the sun was already high in the sky.

The thought that the money in Fang Wei's pocket would become hers tomorrow filled Mei Yan with sweetness, like she was filled with honey!

Zhao Laosan was also very pleased.

Now that's great! With Xu Rui as his backer, he can not only crush Fang Wei under his feet, but also openly squeeze money out of Fang Wei!

In this lifetime, Zhao Laosan will finally live the life of a rich man!
