The village chief sighed." Fourth Brother, if you don't take responsibility, are you going to rat us out?"”
"When the time comes, everyone will be caught. Whoever is active outside will be able to fish you out.”
"Think about it, isn't that right?”
Old Fourth Chen knelt there and thought about it carefully. It seemed that what he said made sense.
He looked up at the village chief and begged,"But I don't want to go to jail."
"You said that person will rat you out. What do you think you should do?" The village chief said word by word.”
"Run away. Do you have to run away just to steal something?”
"What benefits do you get by dragging us down with you?”
"If that's the case, no one outside will help you.”
"Even if you are really caught, you will be released in one or two years at most.”
"We'll make some arrangements for you. You don't have to work inside. It's equivalent to changing places to live for two years.”
"We will take care of your family and children.”
"If we all go in, we'll all suffer. Think about your family, think about your wife and children. Who can help you take care of them?”
"Moreover, if you really do this, it's equivalent to offending the entire village.”
"Do you think that you are Chen Xiaosheng and dare to offend the entire village?”
Old Fourth Chen sat on the ground weakly. He looked at the village chief and asked weakly,"There's really no other way."
" You have to believe me," the village chief said firmly." The other village officials and I will definitely help you. We will make sure that you won't go to jail."”
"But if we all go in, we can't help you.”
"Moreover, you stole the cement that Chen Xiaosheng used to repair the road. When the time comes, you can say some soft words to Chen Xiaosheng and compensate him. As long as he doesn't pursue the matter, the police won't arrest you, right?？”
"If you're worried about money, we'll pool it together. As long as Chen Xiaosheng agrees to let you go, we'll pay however much it costs!”
When Old Fourth Chen heard that the village chief was willing to pay, he was a little touched. Moreover, he really couldn't think of a better way.
He gritted his teeth." Alright, I promise you, Village Chief. I can take on everything."”
"Remember to help me!"
The village chief nodded." Don't worry. Go back and have a good sleep."”
"When the police ask you later, just say that it's a personal grudge with Chen Xiaosheng.”
"Leave the rest to me."
Old Fourth Chen stood up and staggered out of the village chief's house.
After he left, the village chief picked up his phone and dialed a number."The matter was exposed. Old Fourth Chen took on everything.”
"We should be fine, but his matter is a little difficult. I think we have to spend some money to settle it privately with Xiaosheng…"
……
After Chen Laosi returned home, he was still worried that the police would come and arrest him that night.
However, after a night, no one came.
This made him feel a little lucky. Could it be that that person had a conscience and did not rat him out?
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Laosi walked out of his house. He planned to go to the village entrance to take a look.
However, before he could walk out of his courtyard, he saw police cars driving in from the village entrance.
When he saw the police car, his heart skipped a beat. He knew he was done for.
The police cars stopped and the police officers got out of the cars one by one.
They seemed to have a purpose. They went straight to the doors of each house and knocked on them to arrest them.
Every house that the police went to was the one that had participated in the theft of the cement last night.
Old Fourth Chen felt very strange.
What was going on? How did the police know who to arrest?
Other than the people who participated last night, only the village officials knew who was involved in the matter.
Could it be that those people were captured? They confessed everything?
Zhang Kui brought two policemen to Chen Laosi.
He held his phone in his hand and glanced at Chen Laosi."Are you Old Fourth Chen?"
Old Fourth Chen nodded.”
"We suspect that you were involved in a theft last night. Please come back with us for investigation.”
A police officer behind Zhang Kui walked over with handcuffs in his hands. He was about to handcuff Chen Laosi.
The village chief walked over with the village officials.
"Chief Zhang, what's going on?" The village chief shouted from afar. What are you doing?"
Zhang Kui looked at the village chief who was walking over and replied,"Isn't the road to the east of your village under construction?”
"All the cement that was placed on that road last night was stolen. We're here to arrest someone.”
"Is there a misunderstanding?" asked the village chief. Chen Laosi, did you really do it?”
Old Fourth Chen hesitated for a moment and lowered his head."Village Chief, I'm sorry. I was possessed and that's why I did this.”
"I really can't stand that ingrate. Everyone treats him so well, but he treats everyone like this.”
"So I couldn't help but want to delay the cement he used to build the road and let him lose some money. I didn't want to keep the money from selling the cement for myself. I planned to give it to the village.”
"Besides, the money he earns is our money. What can we do wrong?”
At this moment, Chen Xiaosheng and Bao Ruoyun were walking their dogs with a few Tibetan Mastiffs. He strolled past them but he had no intention of coming over.
The village chief saw Chen Xiaosheng and shouted,"Xiaosheng, it's time for you to come over.”
Chen Xiaosheng handed the dog leash to Bao Ruoyun before he walked over and asked,""What's wrong? What happened?"
"Last night, Old Fourth Chen stole the cement you used to build the road in the village. Tell the police that we can settle this privately and compensate you some money.”
The village chief looked at Chen Laosi and deliberately shouted angrily," Chen Laosi, I'm here and you're still not sincere enough to apologize. Please forgive me."”
