Chapter 431
In the past few days, Xiao Ziqian also stayed in a room in the hotel and lived with Lauren and the others. He ran around every day to expose the illegal of the Han family.
However, it was obvious that the other party was prepared. There was not a single newspaper or magazine in Nan'an City that was willing to release the articles that Xiao Ziqian had written. Even her work unit, "Nan'an Night Report", had been fired directly by Xiao Ziqian.
And on the Internet, Xiao Ziqian's articles didn't cause any trouble each time they were posted for a short time. They were either deleted by the administrator or directly blocked.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Ziqian couldn't help but feel discouraged. Luckily, Lauren had come up with a plan on his side. She even planned to use Lauren's relationship in the provincial capital to send Xiao Ziqian's articles to the provincial capital if it really didn't work.
At the same time, Xiao Ziqian couldn't help but worry about his father, who was in jail, and worried about Han De's revenge. However, after making a phone call to his father, he realized that the Han family hadn't done anything to his father. Xiao Ziqian could be considered to be at ease for the time being.
In the past few days, Zachary had not been idle. People from the Public Security Bureau and the hospital kept visiting him.
The people of the Public Security Bureau naturally came to investigate the shooting case, and the hospital came to them, which was a bit happy. The reason was that the attending physician of Zachary, after Zachary left without saying goodbye, was responsible for coming to Zachary, only to find that Zachary was alive and kicking.
The old doctor was so shocked that he asked Zachary to do all kinds of examinations every day to find the reason why Zachary could recover so quickly. If he had not been unable to touch Zachary, he would have taken Zachary back to the laboratory and treated him as a guinea pig.
After the old doctor finally sent them off, Zachary was about to go to the next room to check on Xiao Ziqian and the others' progress.
But at this time, a phone call came. When Zachary looked at the phone number, he found that it was Hu Tianfu, the police chief.
After picking up the phone, Zachary said, "Director Hu, you're not asking me to be alert and assist you in the investigation again, are you? I've told you more than ten times about shooting cases. There's really nothing new."
Hu Tianyou said with a smile, "Mr. Ching, I'm not here to assist with the investigations. I have good news to tell you."
"Good news?" Zachary was a little surprised. He really couldn't think of any good news at this time.
Hu Tianhe did not keep her guessing. He said, "Well, Mr. Ching, you mentioned before that you want to meet Dr. Ma. Now that Dr. Ma has recovered, his family has agreed to meet you."
Dr. Ma was the old Chinese medicine doctor who was held by the black-clad gangsters. Since Zachary noticed that the three black-clad gangsters were likely to be related to the Tielong Club, he hoped to have a good talk with Dr. Ma to see if he could find out why the Tielong gangsters kidnapped him.
However, since Dr. Ma had just been frightened and had not yet recovered, his family did not agree. That was why it had been delayed until now.
Hearing this good news, Zachary was happy and quickly said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Zachary went out and quickly rushed to the hospital.
Not long after Zachary went out, Xiao Ziqian, who was in the next room, received a phone call. "Reporter Xiao, congratulations. I have discussed it with our chief editor. About your report, he agreed to post it. But there are still some details. I hope to talk to you."
"Really? That's great!" After a series of refusals, Xiao Ziqian suddenly received a message of agreement, which immediately made him excited. "When, where do we talk about it?"
"If you have time, is it convenient to go out now? It's in the cafe in the middle of the shopping street in the city center." The other party said.
"Okay, I have time. I'll be right there. Thank you so much." Xiao Ziqian hung up the phone and then began to pack up and ready to go out.
Upon seeing this, Lauren was slightly worried and asked, "Ziqian, do you want me to go with you?"
Xiao Ziqian waved his hand and smiled, "Sister Lim, there's no need. I'm very familiar with the shopping street."
"Mm, then be careful. If you run into any accidents, call me or Zachary immediately." Lauren instructed.
"Okay, I will. Sister Lim, goodbye!" Xiao Zi went out in a hurry.
When Zachary arrived at the hospital, he walked excitedly toward Dr. Ma's ward.
After arriving at the door of the ward, Zachary stood still and then knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Hearing the knock on the door, an unpleasant voice came from inside. A middle-aged woman opened the door and looked at Zachary with an unhappy expression. "Who are you? What are you doing?" Zachary smiled and said, "My name is Zachary. Dr. Ma is getting better. He promised to see me and talk about the case."
"Zachary! What case! My dad didn't agree to talk about the case with anyone. You got it wrong." The middle-aged woman was about to close the door unhappily.
Zachary was stunned, and then he quickly stretched out his hand to hold the door and explained, "Director Hu of the Public Security Bureau called me. He said Dr. Ma promised to talk to me, this..."
"Are you annoyed? If I say no, you don't. My dad is so old, but he was kidnapped and held. You come to bother him every day. Do you want him alive? Let go of me!" The woman said impatiently. She glared at Zachary and was going to close the door.

Zachary knew that Mr. Ma's family might have been irritated, so he didn't want to say anything more. He just let go of him and was about to leave.
But at this time, an old voice came from the ward, "Ah Fang, let Mr. Ching in."
"But, dad, you haven't had a rest these days..." the woman said.
"Let Mr. Ching in!" Old Ma's tone became more serious.
The woman didn't say anything more. She opened the door and let Zachary in. However, when she went in, she stared at him and whispered, "My father is not in good health. Don't talk too much." Zachary nodded and walked into the ward.
The ward was not big. The gray-haired Ma Lao was lying on the bed, and there were some flowers and fruits on the table next to him. They must have been sent by the person who had seen them. "Ah Fang, move the stool quickly." Mr. Ma said to the woman.
The woman brought a stool over and Zachary sat down by the side of the hospital bed.
After a slight pause, Zachary said, "Old Ma, I'm sorry to disturb you this time."
Mr. Ma waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ching is serious. If it weren't for my lack of good health, I would have gone to visit Mr. Ching. Mr. Ching, you are my savior."
"Elder Ma, you're over-courteous!" Zachary said with a smile.
Mr. Ma shook his head and said, "Although I was in a coma at that time, I read the record of that year after I woke up. I knew what it was. If it weren't for you, Mr. Ching, I'm afraid that my life would have been lost there. I also heard that you were shot yourself in order to save us at that time."
When Old Ma's daughter heard that Zachary was her father's lifesaver and that she had been shot and injured, she suddenly looked at Zachary with a different look and an apologetic look appeared on her face.
Zachary smiled and didn't say anything else. He got to the point and said, "Mr. Ma, I came here this time because I want to ask you about what happened to you when you were kidnapped by the three gangsters."
When it came to the kidnapping, his face changed slightly, then he sighed softly and said, "According to my habit, I had already slept at such a late time. But that night I received a phone call that my daughter and son-in-law will come. So I went out to the mall and prepared to buy something to prepare a meal for them tomorrow."

"When I just walked to the mall, the three men rushed out of an alley and controlled me."
"I see!" Zachary frowned and thought.
It was unexpected for Old Ma to arrive at the mall that night. And at this time, the other party kidnapped him. Was the whole thing an accident? The person did not deliberately kidnap Old Ma, but just randomly kidnapped a person, and he happened to meet Old Ma.
Otherwise, if he was against Mr. Ma, it would be more convenient for Mr. Ma to figure out the pattern of Mr. Ma's life directly. After all, it was impossible for those gangsters to foresee it. Mr. Ma would come out of the house suddenly and abnormally that night.
However, Zachary's deduction had just been made, and now that Old Ma had said something, he had immediately overturned his own deduction.
"I remember that after they tied me up, one of them said, 'Another person, after this success, can finally rest for a period of time.""
"Another one!" Zachary frowned and said, "Is your inference wrong? The other party did take the premeditated action more than once. But why did they kidnap Old Ma on purpose?"
Zachary's heart was full of doubts, and he asked again, "Old Ma, did the other person say anything else at that time? Or is there anything else special?"
Mr. Ma shook his head and said, "I was knocked unconscious by them after I heard that sentence."
"I see!" The clues were interrupted again. Zachary's heart was full of doubts.
Then, he talked with Mr. Ma for a while, but he didn't get any valuable clues. So Zachary said goodbye and left.
After walking out of the hospital, Zachary took a deep breath and temporarily put the matter of the criminal behind his head. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he thought of something.
When I came to visit Old Ma just now, he said that he didn't have an appointment with Zachary at all. Then why did Hu Tianfu call me to cheat me?
Thinking of this, Zachary had a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Hu Tianfu's phone number, but the phone over there was turned off.
Suddenly, Zachary felt even more uneasy, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.

Chapter 432
He then called Lauren and asked in a hurry, "Sister Lim, you guys were at the hotel after I left. Did you run into anything wrong?"
"No!" Lauren said. But then she thought of something and said, "By the way, after you left, Ziheng received a phone call. It seemed to be an editor of a magazine. He asked her out to discuss the reports." "What?" Zachary felt that things were getting more and more wrong. He went out on his own, and Xiao Ziqian also received a call to go out. It was too coincidental. "Sister Lim, how long has Ziheng been out?" "It's been an hour. Zachary, what happened?" Lauren asked worriedly.
Zachary said, "Not yet, but I have a bad feeling. Sister Lim, you need to protect yourself. If you encounter something unusual, don't go out easily. By the way, where is Ziqian going out? Sister Lim, do you know?" "She told me it's in the shopping street. I don't know the exact location," said Lauren.
"Elder Sister Lim, take care of yourself. I'll hang up first." Zachary hung up the phone and dialed Xiao Ziqian's number quickly. However, what responded to Zachary's call was that his phone had been turned off. This made Zachary even more worried. As a result, he galloped towards the shopping street at full speed.
Coming to the shopping street, Zachary searched three times, but he didn't see Xiao Ziqian at all.
When he was very anxious, his cell phone rang. Zachary took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Lauren. He quickly picked up the phone and said, "Sister Lim, is there any news?" Lauren said in an anxious tone, "Zachary, I just got the news. The Han family sent a message that Han De and Xiao Ziqian's wedding will be held in two days."
"What!" Zachary shouted out, which attracted the attention of passers-by. "It's Han's family's work."
"Zachary, don't be rash. Since the Hans dared to do this, they must have been on their guard. Don't break in directly." Lauren's words reminded Zachary and made him calm down. He nodded and said, "I know. Sister Lim, I'll be right back."
At the same time, in the Han's Villa, Han De pushed the door open and came in. Looking at Xiao Ziqian, who was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face, he had a grim smile on his face. "Bitch, you still want to run away with your adultererer. Now you're in my hands. I tell you, our wedding will be held in two days," Han De said.
"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I won't marry you. When the time comes for the wedding, don't think that I'll cooperate with you." Xiao Ziqian glared fiercely at Han De.
"Really? You can't cooperate, but we can't cooperate with your father." Han De threatened. "Do you think we really dare not to hurt your father these days? It's just that we don't want to." "You..." Xiao Ziqian stood up all of a sudden and glared at Han De. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"You'd better stay here and wait for the wedding two days later." Han De said with a smug smile.
"You won't succeed." Xiao Ziqian gritted his teeth. "Mr. Ching will save me when the time comes." His voice was almost squeezed out of his clenched teeth.
Hearing Xiao Ziqian mention Zachary, Han De's face instantly turned cold. He slapped Xiao Ziqian in the face.
However, just as his palm was about to move, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped. He glared coldly at Xiao Ziqian and said, "You're still thinking about that adultererer of yours at this point in time. Stop dreaming. That fellow can't even protect himself, yet he still comes to save you! You can just dream about it."
"Han De, what have you done to Mr. Ching? You..." Xiao Ziqian said excitedly.
"Humph!" Han De snorted heavily and turned to go out. When he went out, he was still grumbling angrily, "If it weren't for the fear of hurting my face, I wouldn't be able to attend the wedding two days later. This bitch, I must give her a good beating."
With the official announcement of the wedding announcement of the Han family, the entire Nan'an City became boisterous in the past two days. Especially in the political and business circles, many people promoted by the old man of Han family had all sent congratulatory gifts at this time.
The Han family also made the wedding spectacular, including all the largest five-star hotel in Nan'an City. At the same time, they hired 100 luxury cars, forming a ritual car queue, and passed through Nan'an City all the way. Even the city administration department had taken some special measures because of this wedding. They had been escorting them all the way.
They got married and drove the new couple and the guests all the way to the church with nearly a hundred years of history in the south of Nan'an.
The church was originally a public gym built by foreigners, and later it was used as a trial for a period of time. Finally, it was stipulated as a cultural protection post in the city more than ten years ago and was not open to the public. Today, for the sake of Han De's wedding, the entire church, which had been empty for over ten years, was filled with guests.
The wedding car stopped in front of the church. Han De opened the door. When he got out of the car, he did not forget to take out his cell phone. He opened a video and handed it to Xiao Ziqian. He said, "You have seen it. If you don't cooperate with me to finish the wedding today, your father will be replaced into the most obnoxious cell forever, instead of just living in this kind of place for one day." Looking at Xiao Ziqian's father, whose face was covered with scars and haggard, Xiao Ziqian's heart ached and tears began to roll from the corners of his eyes.

"On the wedding day, don't cry, laugh for me. Do you hear me?" Han De shouted in a low voice. Then he opened the door and put on a smiling face. He gently held Xiao Ziqian's hand and walked toward the church with a smile. Following the arrival of the new couple, the guests in the church all stood up and began to applaud. As for the journalists, they were shooting continuously. The cameras continuously swept across the faces of the newcomers and the individuals who were controlling the situation in Nan'an City.
Along the corridor covered with roses, under the applause and gaze of all the big shots, the two slowly walked to the front of the emcee and stopped in front of him.
The overseer looked at the two of them and solemnly asked, "Mr. Han, are you willing to become husband and wife with Lady Xiao Ziqian, fall in love with each other, never to be separated?" With a smile on his face, Han De said, "I do!"
The emcee then looked at Xiao Ziqian and asked, "Miss Xiao, are you willing to become husband and wife with Mr. Han, fall in love with each other, never to be separated?" Hearing this voice, Xiao Ziqian's expression changed as he said, "I..."
The scene was plunged into a strange silence. Meanwhile, Xiao Ziqian seemed to be waiting for something and actually turned his head to look in the direction of the church's entrance.
Seeing this, Han De's expression immediately turned cold. He gently moved close to Xiao Ziqian's ear and said fiercely in a low voice, "Don't think about that adultererer of yours. It's impossible for him to come." "Hurry up and agree, otherwise your dad's... Hmph!" Han De glared at Xiao Ziqian.
Xiao Ziqian's entire body trembled. He gently nodded and slowly turned his head around. There was some tears at the corner of his eyes as he softly said, "I... am willing..."
But just as the last word was about to come out, a loud shout came from the mouth of the church, "Wait!"
Hearing this familiar and warm voice, Xiao Ziqian's entire body trembled. He turned around and looked over with tears in his eyes.
A halo shone in from the entrance of the church. In the dazzling sunshine, Zachary, dressed in casual clothes, came in. With a smile on his mouth, his eyes fell directly on Xiao Ziqian.
Yang Yumei, who was sitting below, saw this and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She then shot a look at the servant beside her.
Immediately, several bodyguards rushed over and pounced on Zachary fiercely.
If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Han De's face was stern as he shouted, "Throw him out!"
However, before the bodyguards got close to Zachary, they felt a repelling force. They were thrown out and fell heavily on the ground, scattering a lot of flowers. The rose petals all over the sky suddenly flew up. After sending several bodyguards flying, Zachary walked over with a smile in the air. He stood in front of Xiao Ziqian, reached out his right hand, and said with a chuckle, "Miss Xiao, are you willing to go with me?"
At this moment, tears were welling up in Xiao Ziqian's eyes, and his face was full of smiles. He held Zachary's hand and nodded heavily, saying, "I do." Then, the two of them headed outside directly.
Seeing this scene, the guests and reporters below were all dumbfounded. Han De's wife ran away with another man at the wedding. This was too exciting!
At this moment, Han De's expression was green. His fury caused his chest to violently rise and fall. He let out a loud cry and said, "Men, stop them!"
In an instant, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed over and smashed Zachary with black expandable batons in their hands.
"Hide behind me, be careful!" Zachary said to Xiao Zizhao with his body, and then faced the bodyguards' attack.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
After a burst of noise, more than a dozen bodyguards were all beaten to the ground and couldn't move, without even a single hair on Zachary's body.
Upon seeing this, the guests around them could not help but feel a chill running down their spines, and they instinctively took a few steps back.
Seeing that Xiao Ziqian and Zachary were about to walk out of the church, Han De ignored everything else and shouted angrily, "Bitch, don't you care about your father's life?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ziqian's entire body couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
When Zachary saw this, he gently patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen as long as I am here." "Well, I believe you." Xiao Ziqian looked up at Zachary with firmness and trust in his eyes. He took Zachary's arm and walked outside.
At this time, Yang Yumei frowned and looked at Duan Jianguo, the Municipal Party Secretary. She gave him a look and then nodded. Seeing this, Duan Jianguo whispered to a person next to him, "You can start now."
Chapter 433
Chapter 433
When Zachary and Xiao Ziqian walked out of the church, all of a sudden, there was a mess of footsteps around them.
Xiao Ziqian only felt a lot of people pass by in front of him, and then he saw the whole entrance of the church was full of armed policemen. At the moment, they were holding guns in a semicircle, and the entrance of the church was tightly surrounded. Moreover, behind the encirclement, there were several police cars blocking the road.
Xiao Ziqian was startled by the scene, and the reporters and guests who followed him were also scared.
At this moment, Yang Yumei, Han De, and the secretary of the municipal party committee, Duan Jianguo, walked out. Duan Jianguo said coldly, "We can arrest him."
The leading policeman, with a gun in his hand, pointed at Zachary and shouted coldly, "Raise your hand!"
Zachary narrowed his eyes, turned around, looked at Duan Jianguo coldly, and said in a cold voice, "You want to arrest me?"
Looking at Zachary's calm appearance, Duan Jianguo felt a burst of anger in his heart. Last time in the Public Security Bureau, it was this guy who made the secretary of the municipal party committee lose face and embarrassed him. Duan Jianguo looked at Zachary with a righteous look and said, "It's not me who wants to arrest you. It's you who have committed a crime. The government wants to arrest you."
"The government wants to arrest me? Then, may I ask what I've done for the honorary Secretary of the municipal council to personally mobilize so many special police," Zachary said coldly.
Duan Jianguo snorted and said, "Don't you know what you've done?"
Zachary's eyes turned cold and he said, "It's no use saying these useless words in front of me."
At this moment, Han De looked at Zachary with a happy look and said, "Humph, at this time, you're still quibbling. Do you need to ask what kind of crime you've committed? You've deliberately committed the crime of killing!" As soon as the accusation was made, almost all the people present felt chills all over their bodies, and a chill welled up in their hearts.
Zachary's eyes were cold and he shouted, "You can talk nonsense, but you can't. Secretary Duan, are you sure that's what you want to say?"
Duan Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became firm. After all, this matter was entrusted to him by the Han family. Moreover, the other party promised him that after the success of the matter, Mrs. Han would mobilize the forces left by Mr. Han to manipulate him to go further into the province.
Thinking of this, Duan Jianguo could not help but feel hot in his heart. He looked at Zachary and shouted, "This is of course what I mean. Zachary, you are suspected of killing people intentionally. I advise you to surrender immediately and go back with us for investigation."
Zachary snorted, looked at Duan Jianguo, and shouted, "Secretary Duan, you said that I was suspected of murder. Then I want to ask, who did I kill? And you said that it's up to you alone. You are making irresponsible remarks, and you are deliberately slandering me."
"How dare you! I, Duan Jianguo, am the secretary of the municipal party committee. How can I slander others?" Duan Jianguo looked righteous and shouted, "You are suspected of being two suspects of the gun-killing case. Don't you admit it?"
Hearing this, Zachary couldn't help laughing and said, "Secretary Duan, I was in the Public Security Bureau before. You said that I might be the accomplice of the criminal and caught me for interrogation, but the result turned out to be false. Now you have found another reason. You said that I killed the suspect and wanted to arrest me with a murder crime. That's ridiculous."
"How ridiculous? I just want to ask, did you kill those two people?" Duan Jianguo asked sharply.
Zachary's eyes turned cold and he said loudly, "I'll tell you now that I killed those two people."
"Since you have admitted it yourself, then there is nothing more to say. Get started and arrest this criminal." Duan Jianguo ordered.
Seeing this, Xiao Ziqian defended Zachary anxiously and said, "Secretary Duan, it's not like that. Although Zachary killed the two men, they are both gangsters. He did it because he wanted to save me and Dr. Ma. The other party is a vicious villain. This is a legitimate defense. How can you frame Zachary with it?"
Duan Jianguo snorted and said, "Whether the other party is a criminal or not has yet to be investigated. Before our public security department officially finishes the investigation, no one is allowed to draw a conclusion casually." "And, even if the other side is really a criminal, then Zachary's killing behavior has passed. He can save people and protect himself, but why not knock down the other side, but kill him. Such brutal behavior has violated the laws of our country." Duan Jianguo said righteously.
Hearing this, Zachary sneered. He looked at Duan Jianguo and said, "Secretary Duan is really good at speaking. I think, at that time, when the three gangsters shot at you with guns, if Secretary Duan was present, with such a talent, he could defeat the gangster, save the hostage, and save himself. I am ashamed of my ability!"
These obvious mocking words immediately caused quite a number of people present to frown.
As for shooting, they knew very well that in that case, let alone saving people, it was difficult even to protect themselves. How could it be as simple as Duan Jianguo said-to knock the gangster out, and then save people for self-protection? If that had really been the case, I'm afraid the gangster would have shot you dead long ago.
Of course, they could only hold these thoughts in their hearts and could not say it out loud. After all, the current situation was that Duan Jianguo obviously had to deal with Zachary.
Hearing this, Duan Jianguo snorted coldly and said, "No matter how you defend yourself, the truth of your murder cannot be changed. I advise you to surrender immediately, otherwise, we have the right to kill you on the spot." "Kill him on the spot!" Zachary said coldly, "Secretary Duan, you are so kind to the criminals. Now, you want to kill a criminal who hasn't been convicted yet. This is a double standard. Secretary Duan, you are really good at it!"

Duan Jianguo frowned and waved his hand, "Let's do it!"
The police suddenly approached them with guns. At this moment, the momentum of Zachary suddenly changed. At that moment, his momentum became extremely sharp, like a sharp sword that broke out of its hole and pierced into the sky. Feeling the bone-piercing killing intent rushing towards him, Duan Jianguo immediately trembled in fear. He quickly took a few steps back and shouted loudly at the same time, "Attack!"
The police moved, but at the same time, Zachary also moved. And he moved faster. Almost in the blink of an eye, Zachary disappeared from his original place. He turned into a shadow and quickly moved to the side of Duan Jianguo. Duan Jianguo felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and then he felt that there was an iron claw-like big hand on his throat, which tightly gripped his neck.
Feeling a sense of suffocation from his neck, Duan Jianguo immediately panicked. He quickly waved his hand to the policeman, and at the same time, a vague voice came out of his throat.
Since the secretary of the municipal party committee was held hostage, the police did not dare to act rashly.
The reporters and guests at the scene were shocked when they saw such a scene. They didn't expect that such a thing would happen at a wedding.
However, Han De and Yang Yumei, who were among the crowd, had a smug smile on their face.
They hoped that Zachary would do something terrible. It was best to be shot dead by the police directly.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, as if the air was full of gunpowder. As long as there was even a little spark, the space could be ignited to explode.
"Let go of Secretary Duan!" The leader of the policemen was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat.
Zachary held Duan Jianguo in one hand, and pulled Xiao Ziqian behind him with the other hand to block him. Then he looked into the distance, and finally saw a few figures quickly approaching. Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of Zachary's mouth. He released Duan Jianguo's hand and let him go.
Duan Jianguo immediately gasped for breath and finally recovered. His eyes were red, and he ran to the back of the police, pointed at Zachary, and shouted, "Kill him, he is a fierce gangster, shoot him!"
If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!
The policemen were so excited that the guns in their hands were almost soaked by the sweat in their hands and slipped a little.
A loud shout came from behind, "Everyone stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw five people rapidly rushing in their direction. The leader of the group was actually a young beauty, and this beautiful woman was the familiar policewoman Han Huihui. Hearing Han Huihui's shout, the police stopped for a moment. Seeing this, Duan Jianguo immediately shouted, "What are you waiting for? Shoot!"
The policemen immediately moved again and aimed their guns at Zachary.
At this moment, Han Huihui's voice became even more severe. "I told you to stop. Did you hear me?"
Duan Jianguo turned his head and looked at Han Huihui with blood-red eyes, saying, "Who are you? This is a case involving the police. You are not allowed to come over and leave immediately, otherwise, I will investigate it together with you." "Check us, do you have enough!" Behind Han Huihui, a red-haired young man snorted coldly. His body shook, and he appeared behind Duan Jianguo with a dagger in his hand, putting it on Duan Jianguo's neck. Duan Jianguo was so scared that he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Upon seeing this, Han Huihui frowned gently and said, "Blood Saber, don't mess around."
"Sister Hui Hui has spoken, so I'll let you go this time." The red-haired young man loosened his dagger and retreated.
Seeing this, Duan Jianguo wiped the sweat from his forehead, winked at the police, and motioned them to start.
But at this time, the red-haired young man, Blood Saber, said in a cold voice, "I advise you not to think about it, or you won't know how you died."
Duan Jianguo suddenly did not dare to move, and even his eyes did not dare to look around casually.
Han Huihui walked over, looked at Zachary, and nodded slightly to him. Then she said to Duan Jianguo, "I don't care what happened to you. Mr. Ching, you can't move."
"This, this is not in line with the rules." Duan Jianguo still insisted.
These words made the red-haired blood knife somewhat surprised. The dagger kept shaking in his hand, and there was a flower of the knife. He looked at Duan Jianguo with a smile and said, "Oh, tell me, what's wrong with the rules?"
Chapter 434
Chapter 434
Duan Jianguo did not dare to look at the blood knife and said, "Zachary is suspected of murder. We must bring him back for investigation. You can't act recklessly."
"That's intentional killing. What's going on?" Han Huihui looked at Duan Jianguo and asked.
Duan Jianguo didn't want to say anything, but when he saw the blood knife wave the dagger in his hand and approached him, he was so scared that he shivered and told Zachary about the so-called intentional murder crime. After hearing this, Blood Blade laughed and said, "It's a joke. This is clearly a self-defense, and it's a righteous act, but what do you mean by deliberately killing people?"
Han Huihui also frowned and said, "Let your people retreat, and we will take over Zachary's matter."
"No, is Zachary doing it bravely or killing people on purpose? We need to judge it, and we also need to deal with it ourselves." Duan Jianguo was still forcing himself to do so.
Blood Blade sneered, and his tone suddenly changed. He shouted in a cold voice, "Our Hui sister asked you to withdraw people for your sake at that time. Whether Mr. Ching killed them on purpose or not, even if he killed those criminals on purpose, it won't be a problem for him with his identity."
"What do you mean?" Duan Jianguo was stunned. "No matter who he is, deliberately killing must be severely punished by the law."
Blood Blade still wanted to talk, but Han Huihui stopped him, took out a certificate from her pocket, showed it in front of Duan Jianguo, and said coldly, "We are members of the Five Yues and Hengs Mountain. Now officially order you to remove your men, and hand over Zachary and the shooting case to us to deal with."
"Five Yues!" Seeing this name, Duan Jianguo suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his blood seemed to have solidified. His mouth trembled, a little trembled, and he said, "Okay, I'll withdraw, I'll withdraw right away." As he spoke, Duan Jianguo ordered the police to retreat.
Seeing this, Han De and Yang Yumei couldn't help frowning. Especially Han De, he shouted discontentedly, "Secretary Duan, why did the police withdraw? The criminal suspect Zachary hasn't been arrested yet!"
At this moment, Duan Jianguo couldn't wait to turn around and slap Han De. One must know that this Wu Yue was a special department in the country. He had unparalleled strength and privileges.
Even if he, Duan Jianguo, was the secretary of the municipal party committee, the other party would directly kill him with a knife and finally find a random reason, I was afraid that he would not be punished. Therefore, Duan Jianguo quickly winked at Han De, indicating that he should not speak.
But Han De could not understand Duan Jianguo's meaning. Seeing that his revenge on Zachary was not successful, he immediately refused to let it go and continued to shout, "Everybody, that is an extremely vicious murderer. If we let him go so easily, it will be terrible if we come out to endanger our safety."
This guy still wanted to incite everyone to join him in building up the momentum.
However, all the guests and officials present were smart. When they saw that Secretary Duan was so scared, they didn't dare to say anything and kept silent.
Duan Jianguo couldn't take it anymore. He directly glared at Han De and shouted, "Stop talking."
Then, Duan Jianguo quickly waved his hand to signal the policemen to retreat. But at this time, Zachary suddenly spoke and said coldly, "Wait!"
When Duan Jianguo heard this, his body trembled and he almost fell to the ground. He looked at Zachary with some fawning and some worry. He squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Mr. Ching, what else do you have to tell me?" Zachary pointed to Han De and Yang Yumei and said, "Since the police are present, then I will report a case now. That is, Han De and Yang Yumei are suspected of illegally restricting other people's personal freedom, secretly sending people to imprison reporter Xiaoxiao at home and not being allowed to go out."
"Nonsense. Xiao Ziqian is my wife. It's normal for her to be at my house," shouted Han De.
Xiao Ziqian immediately said, "I'm not his wife. Two days ago, they sent someone to trick me into going shopping street and then took me back to my home. They restricted my freedom and forbade me from going out." "Secretary Duan, did you hear that? This is a real criminal act. You should investigate it carefully," Zachary said in a cold voice.
Secretary Duan quickly nodded and gave Han De a look, indicating for him to cooperate, and then was ready to ask the police to do it.
But the Han family had been used to being overbearing in Nan'an City for a long time. At this moment, there were so many guests and reporters here. If they really went with the police, wouldn't the Han family be completely humiliated? Suddenly, Yang Yumei snorted heavily and said, "Secretary Duan, these policemen are their police officers, and they are from the government of Nan'an. Why did you listen to them and arrest our innocent Han family?" Duan Jianguo did not expect that Yang Yumei would not cooperate. He suddenly had a headache. He quickly winked and whispered, "Mrs. Han, the other side is Wu Yue's man and has privileges."
Yang Yumei, however, ignored him and said coldly, "Even if it's Wu Yue, it's not a random mobilize of the police in Nan'an City. They are illegal to take action."
"This..." Duan Jianguo really felt that his head was going to explode.

At this time, Zachary looked at Yang Yumei, snorted heavily, took out a certificate from his pocket and showed it in front of them. He said coldly, "I am a member of the national special forces Nightwolf. According to the regulations of the special forces, at a special time, the special forces have the right to mobilize and require the local police to cooperate with action."
"Now, as a member of the nightwolf team, I officially request the police of Nan'an City to cooperate with the investigation of Han De and Yang Yumei to illegally restrict the freedom of the case."
Hearing this, Duan Jianguo really collapsed to the ground. He didn't expect that the Five Peaks was not enough. Even Zachary, who was also a member of the special forces, was here.
Why did the people from these special departments hide here, pretending to be weak, and dig out a big hole to wait for themselves to jump?
When Yang Yumei and Han De saw Zachary's certificate, their faces suddenly changed.
Zachary ordered the police, "Take them back for investigation."
The police suddenly began to approach Yang Yumei and Han De.
Yang Yumei was really anxious and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? Believe it or not, I can pull out all your clothes with a call." Zachary shouted and said, "Quick, take all of them back."
The policemen rushed forward and arrested Han De, Yang Yumei, as well as some of the Han family's servants and security guards, and pushed them into the patrol wagon.
At this time, Yang Yumei, who had always been very well-known in Nan'an City, could no longer control herself. She shouted, "You ungrateful people. Old Han promoted you. Now you are like this to orphans and widowed children. If Old Han were still here, would you dare to do this?"
Hearing this, the guests and officials immediately changed their faces. Almost all of them were officials who had a deep relationship with the Han family. In this case, they didn't want to be dragged into the water by Yang Yumei. They quickly turned and left, pretending that they didn't see it.
After the Han family was escorted away, the guests also left. Zachary smiled and looked at Xiao Ziqian, who was standing on the side, saying, "It's all right. This time, the Han family can't escape from such a disaster. Your father is definitely fine inside."
There were tears at the corner of Xiao Zigian's mouth. With a smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Thank you!"
"We're friends who have gone through thick and thin together. You don't need to thank me," Zachary said with a smile.
If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!
"No, I thank you." Xiao Ziqian said seriously. Then he suddenly stood on tiptoe, raised his head, and kissed Zachary's cheek.
Zachary was stunned when he saw Qin Yuru's soft red lips on his face. He was at a loss of what to do.
Seeing Zachary's surprised and stunned expression, Xiao Zi sneered and said, "Fool!"
After a pause, Xiao Ziqian's eyes became misty. He looked at Zachary and asked, "Am I beautiful now?"
Looking at Xiao Ziqian, who was wearing a white wedding dress with a slender neck and fragrant shoulders, Zachary couldn't help but nod his head and say, "Beautiful! You're so beautiful wearing this!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ziqian's face showed a brilliant smile. He stood on his tiptoes again and gently kissed Zachary's cheek. At the same time, he whispered in his ear, "I hope I can put this on for you." Zachary was stunned for a moment.
"Put this on for me. What does this mean? Puting on this wedding dress for me. Could it be that Xiao Ziqian is treating me..." Looking down at Xiao Ziqian's red face with a smile, Zachary felt his mind was in a mess. What, what the hell was going on? "Cough cough!"
At this point, a dry cough came from the side. Han Huihui walked over with a serious face and said to Zachary, "Although I don't want to disturb you at this time, Mr. Ching, we still need you to cooperate with the case of shooting." Zachary laughed dryly and said, "Huihui, you, you're mistaken. Reporter Xiao and I didn't do anything. We..."
Han Hui replied coldly, "You don't have to explain anything to me. I don't mind." Even though she said this, there was a hint of disappointment in her words.
Zachary had no choice but to shut up and give Xiao Ziqian a sign. Then he got into the police car with Han Huihui and drove to the police station of Nan'an City.
In front of the church, Xiao Ziqian, who watched Zachary leave, turned his head and looked at the shabby and holy church.
The sunlight slowly moved through the cross on the top of the church building. It cast a shadow on the cross and fell on her white and gorgeous wedding dress. She looked like an angel bathed in the holy light, pure and beautiful. At this moment, Xiao Ziqian, who had always been the atheist, put his hands in front of his chest and whispered to the cross, "God, please bless me and make my wish come true."

Chapter 435
They came to the police station. Under Han Huihui's request, they took Zachary to check the bodies of the three gangsters.
In the end, Han Huihui was certain that these three people were from the Iron Dragon Triad. This news caused Zachary to frown involuntarily as he felt a faint sense of worry in his heart.
Then, Han Huihui directly used the privilege of Five Peaks and took out the bodies of the three men of the Iron Dragon Gang. She quickly got her men to take them out of the capital.
Later, Han Huihui and the others inquired about the situation at that time. For Han Huihui, Zachary had nothing to hide and told her everything at that time. What's more, Zachary also told her everything about the poison darts. After hearing this, Han Huihui's frown deepened and she said, "The Iron Dragon Army is getting more and more powerful. I didn't expect that they would even use the 'Qi-melting Pill' targeted at cultivators." "Qi Transformation Pill? What is that?" Zachary asked.
Han Huihui said, "It's a Pill specially refined for monks. It can restrain the running of the monk's Vital Qi and affect his practice and fighting capacity. In the past, the Qi-transforming Pill was a frequently used assassination pill in the power of practice."
"So amazing!" Zachary was shocked. The Qi Transformation Pill in his body only had a little bit of poison on the cross dart, but it actually affected the circulation of the Qi in his body. If he took a pill directly, Zachary's cultivation would be directly abolished.
"If ordinary people have this kind of elixir, even if they confront with cultivators, I'm afraid they're more than enough to threaten us." Zachary sighed.
Han Huihui shook her head and said, "The effect of the Qi-melting Pill is very good. The medicinal materials that are refined are very precious. They are very rare even among the cultivation forces. Now, this kind of Qi-melting Pill is even rarer. Even among the five peaks, the capacity of the Qi-melting Pill is less than 20. Moreover, its formula has long been lost. If we use one pill, it will be one less."
"So precious?" Zachary was a little surprised, and then he frowned and said, "The iron dragon would use such a precious Qi-melting Pill. Is it just to kidnap an old Chinese medicine practitioner? This, this is really ridiculous?"
Han Hui also frowned and said, "We still don't know what the Iron Dragon Triad is thinking. But we can be sure that this operation is not isolated. In some other cities, there recently appeared cases of the disappearance of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and several of which have been investigated, it was the Iron Dragon Triad who did it."
"What? There are other similar cases." Zachary was very surprised.
Han Huihui nodded and said, "This case in Nan'an has been the ninth one we knew of."
"It has already been nine times!" Zachary suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. Then, he suddenly thought of something, and his face was full of anxiety. He got up and said, "If the people of the Iron Dragon Triad continue to take action, then in Ludington City and the provincial capital, Maxwell and the others won't..."
Han Huihui looked at Zachary, who was extremely anxious, and said, "I am in charge of Ludington City and the provincial capital. I have already sent people to keep an eye on them, and I also asked the comrades in the Jiangnan Military Force for help. If there is an accident, we will get the news immediately."
"That would be best!" Zachary breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried. He said, "I have to go back tomorrow."
Han Huihui nodded and did not say anything else.
All of a sudden, the room fell into silence. Looking at Han Huihui, who looked gloomy and tired, Zachary's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At that time, after he came out of the Public Security Bureau, he called Han Huihui to tell her about the situation here. As a result, Han Huihui and others rushed over without stopping. He thought that it must have been hard work all the way. Thinking of this, Zachary said softly to Han Huihui, "Huihui, thank you."
Han Huihui was stunned for a moment before her expression changed. She nodded and said, "There's no need to thank me. A case has happened here and it's what we should do."
"No matter what you say, I have to thank you for coming here," Zachary said seriously.
Since the last incident of Zhao Zhicheng's attack on Lauren, Han Huihui had revealed her identity as Wu Yue, so the relationship between her and Zachary was a bit strange. It was not as simple as before, and she always felt that there was some estrangement between them.
After returning to the hotel from the police station, Zachary immediately booked a flight with Lauren and flew back to the provincial capital tomorrow morning. As for Qiao Xiaoxiao who came with them, he had to go back alone because the movie crew's schedule arrived a few days ago.
The next day, Zachary sent Xiao Ziqian a farewell text message, then turned off his cell phone and went back home.
However, just as Zachary left, because of him, a storm was sweeping through the entire Nan'an City Public Security Bureau.
Among them, Duan Jianguo, who was the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Li Bo, who was the deputy mayor, were the first to be investigated by the Committee for Discipline Inspection. Hu Tianfu and Li Yan, who were the first to be found, also entered the scope of the investigation team. They were busy with the hot investigation.
In the Han family in Nan'an City, who had been in charge for many years, with the arrest of Han De and Yang Yumei and Xiao Ziqian, as well as all kinds of illegal cases of the Han family, they were quickly arrested by the police and entered the interrogation process.
The Han family, which had been well-known for many years, fell to the ground at this time.
After Zachary returned to the provincial capital, he was worried that the Iron Dragon Triad would make a move. So he came back to Ludington City on purpose. He visited Maxwell and made several amulets for him carefully. After that, he returned to the provincial capital with relief.

As for the several famous old Chinese medicine doctors in the provincial capital, Zachary did not forget them. He reminded them one by one and even gave each of them an amulet.
Of course, Ding Yiming of the Ding family and Zhao Guanjiang of the Zhao family both rejected Zachary's amulet. At the same time, they spoke nonsense in the Chinese medicine circle, saying that Zachary deliberately made threatening remarks to intimidate these old Chinese medicine practitioners. They did not have a good intention.
In this regard, Zachary didn't bother to explain anything. After all, he gave Ding Yiming and Zhao Guanjiang the amulets, which was just convenient for him. Since they took good intentions as malice, Zachary naturally wouldn't put on a cold face to their hot buttock.
The old Chinese medicine doctor's affairs were temporarily calm and nothing unusual happened. Zachary spent more time on the work and the people around him.
Since it was late June, the weather had entered the summer season, and it was extremely hot and dry. Song Yunfei, who had been playing around for a long time, had been staying in the house these days and did not want to go out. Zachary also took care of them. From time to time, he would take time to chat with the two women. He prepared a pot of herbal cuisine to cool down the heat, which made the two women very happy.
At noon that day, Zachary bought some fresh ingredients. After a while in the kitchen, he came to the table with a pot of fragrant herbal cuisine.
After taking off the apron, Zachary smiled and shouted, "Yuchi, Yunjia, come and have dinner."
If it was in the past, they would have rushed to grab food. Today, they were a bit abnormal. Zachary shouted three times, and then slowly walked over.
And holding the herbal cuisine in her hands, the two women didn't take many sips of it and put down the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing this, Zachary couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Isn't the medicine Elder Mr. Ching cooked today delicious?"
She hadn't been with Song Yunjia for a long time, so she shook her head and said, "No, it's delicious."
"Then why don't you move your chopsticks!" Zachary was a little confused.
Having not taken a look at the medicinal herbs for a long time, he said to Zachary with a somewhat gloomy face, "Big Mr. Ching, today, we don't have any appetite."
"I don't have an appetite! Are you not feeling well? Come on, Big Mr. Ching, let me take your pulse." Zachary went forward and said.
The two girls shook their heads. Song Yunjia said, "Mr. Ching, we're in good health. We're in a bad mood and can't eat anymore."
"Not in a good mood? Why?" Zachary asked.
Song Yunjia pouted and said, "I watched a news online with Ah Yu just now. After reading it, I felt very uncomfortable, so I'm not in the mood now."
"News? Let's go and take Mr. Ching to have a look." Zachary was a little curious.
The two girls nodded, then took Zachary to the room, opened the computer, and opened a web page.
This piece of news was not news, but a personal explanation of a photography reporter. The article was very long, and it was also equipped with a lot of pictures. It took Zachary a quarter of an hour before he finished the article in detail. After he finished reading, Zachary's heart sank and he let out a sigh.
This article was written by the photography reporter when he came to a small village, and the focus of it was focused on the only primary school in the village.
Due to the remote location and the poor natural conditions, the village was poor, and studying was almost a kind of dream. The only primary school in the village had been built for more than 20 years under the insistence of an old headmaster.
But now, with a heavy rain, the school, which had been short of repair for many years, was completely destroyed. The children lost their homes to school, and even some children lost their lives.
The old principal, who had persisted for many years, almost began to clean up the ruins with grass and wood, preparing to rebuild the school. But the old principal was old after all, and his strength was very limited. Therefore, it was difficult for him to complete this difficult task.
Among them, there were also some photography reporters who talked about the life and reading process of the children in the village primary school. The simple text coupled with the pictures immediately gave people a sense of shock. At the end of the article, the reporter called for everyone to donate money to the school and helped the old principal build the school. At the same time, he proposed that more ambitious young men would go to the mountainous branch to teach and help the children in the mountains get out of this mountain.
This kind of thing, although touched, was not surprising to Zachary. However, it was a great shock and touching for Song Yunjia, who had just graduated from high school. No wonder the two girls were in a bad mood and couldn't even eat anymore.
Chapter 436
Chapter 436
"Mr. Ching, I saw those children in the mountains. Whether it was rainy or cold winter, they had to go to school for four or five hours a day, and they couldn't even eat enough at noon. However, I lived in the air-conditioned room, playing everywhere, and even throwing food everywhere. I felt very uncomfortable," said Qin Haodong, with his eyes turning red for a long time.
Song Yunjia nodded as well and said, "Compared to those children, I feel that we are too happy. I feel a sense of shame."
Hearing this, Zachary smiled slightly and gently lifted the shoulders of the two people. He said softly and solemnly, "You don't have to feel sad and feel guilty. Because if you can pay attention to those children and care about them, it is enough to show that you are very kind."
"However, we are better than those children..." He hadn't raised his head for a long time.
Zachary smiled and said, "Wi, you feel sorry for their hard lives, but you won't feel ashamed about your happy life because it has nothing to do with them. What you need to do now is to try your best to help them, not to feel sad or guilty." Zachary's words woke the two girls up, and their eyes lit up. Song Yunjia suddenly said, "Yes, Mr. Ching is right. It's useless to just feel sad. We have to do something. How about this, we donate."
"I decided to donate 10, 000 yuan to the old principal to rebuild the school, as well as my old clothes and books. I'm also going to donate them." Song Yunjia came from a well-off family, so 10, 000 yuan was nothing to her. After a long time, he nodded and said, "I also have some old stationery and books to donate, and I also have a thousand yuan saved for myself."
When Zachary saw this, he smiled and said, "The things that you are going to donate, I will contact you."
"Okay!" The two girls immediately began to sort out the things around them.
Soon, a pile of things were sorted out, and the two girls were busy packing and tidying.
But at this time, it seemed that something suddenly occurred to him for a long time. He bit his lip, looked up at Zachary and said, "Mr. Ching, I have a decision."
"Oh! Ah, tell me!" Zachary looked at her with a smile for a long time.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ching, I want to go to the school branch to teach."
"Ah, teaching!" Zachary and Song Yunjia were a little surprised.
Zachary was a little worried. He frowned slightly and said, "Wa'er, you're going to go to school in a little more than a month. If you go to the branch teacher..."
However, after a long time, he said firmly, "Mr. Ching, I know that I cannot stay there for a very long time. However, a month is also a period of time. Instead of wasting time at home, it's better for me to go there and teach my children for a month."
Shocked by her long-lost words, Song Yunjia opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Ching, I'm right. We're just having fun and eating at home. Why don't we go out and do something meaningful? I'll go teach in the sect."
"But the environment over there..." Zachary was still a little worried.
"Mr. Ching, don't worry. I can live a hard life," said the man, who had not been resolute for a long time. He clenched his fists tightly.
Song Yunjia said with a smile, "Mr. Ching, there's no need to worry. We are both grown-ups and can be done well. Besides, it's a mountainous area with a good view. Now that summer has passed, it's a good place to take shelter from the summer heat."
Since the two girls had made up their minds, Zachary did not want to dampen their kindness. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree that you go to the teaching branch. You set a time and I will send you there."
"Yeah, Mr. Ching, you're great." Song Yunjia cheered and threw herself at Zachary. Her young body softly threw herself into Zachary's arms.
Having not been embarrassed for a long time, she looked at Zachary with her blushing face.
The two girls contacted the old principal of the school according to the contact information left at the end of the article and explained the purpose of their visit. The old principal was very happy to agree, and then after a discussion, the matter of teaching was quickly settled.
At the same time, Song Yunfei and Zachary gave 160, 000 yuan to the old headmaster in advance, so that the old headmaster could re-study the university as soon as possible. They had not spent 12, 000 yuan on this, and 160, 000 yuan, which was given by Zachary and 160, 000 yuan in total.
Two days later, after packing up the things, Zachary drove the two girls over.
This time, Zachary specially chose a big van in the company and brought something that the two girls donated. Zachary also bought a batch of stationery, books, snacks and other gadgets, and prepared them for the school children. The car started off. Fortunately, the mountain school was not too far away, just in the suburbs of a city next to the provincial capital. Zachary drove all the way for more than five hours and arrived at the county above the mountain village.
As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away!
Originally, Zachary planned to drive directly to the mountain village, but when he saw the narrow and bumpy road, he was stunned. The van couldn't get in at all.
In desperation, Zachary had to call the old principal and explained the situation here. When the old principal heard that they had arrived in the county, he was very happy and quickly said that he would find a way to let Zachary wait in the county. Then he would send a special car to pick up Zachary and the others.
"There's even a special car! This is too high-end, isn't it?"
Zachary hung up the phone and mumbled. He was looking forward to what the old principal would say about his special car.
About three hours later, the people sent by the old headmaster to pick them up arrived. Zachary and the others quickly moved their things from the van and wanted to see what the special car looked like.
As a result, when Zachary and the other two people saw it, they were immediately dumbfounded, because this special car was really a "brick cart".
It turned out to be an old rail tractor. The front of the tractor was smoking heavily, and it was jumping on the bumpy yellow soil road.
The tractor driver was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He wore a long-sleeved T-shirt that had been washed white. He wore a pair of grey-blue trousers made of "decent good" and a pair of yellow leather shoes that looked out of place. However, Zachary and the others could tell that it must have been a special dressing made up by the villagers before they went out. They had put on the best clothes in order to welcome the distinguished guests who came from afar. Zachary smiled and talked with his master for a while, introduced his own situation, and then began to load the shopping bags.
Zachary drove the truck while chatting with the driver. He also learned that his master's name was Wang Dawei, a high-level management of the King's Villa in the mountain village. According to his position, it was quite frightening. In fact, it was just a title. In their poor towns, unimportant officials had no equal benefits of authority at all. They couldn't control others at all. Instead, they needed to serve others.
Master Wang was only in his early forties this year. Because he had been working for many years and his conditions were tough, he seemed to be a little older. Otherwise, Zachary would not have thought that he was in his fifties at the beginning.
Master Wang's face was dark and his face was red with excitement and health. He was polite and enthusiastic to Zachary and the others. He was a good person who was honest and well-behaved.
When the things were packed, the tractor occupied more than half of the space. Zachary parked the van in front of a restaurant in the county and gave it 100 yuan to let the boss take care of it.
Then he took the two girls to the tractor and stabilized himself by holding the railings of the car. There were several hand-made horses in the cart counter, which were specially prepared by Master Wang for the guests from the city when they went out. Zachary didn't sit by himself, so he didn't sit on the horse with Song Yunjia for a long time.
Master Wang shouted and started the tractor with a rocking rod. Then he held the tractor's arm and jumped up happily.
The mountain road was very difficult to walk, and the tractor was driving very slowly. It tossed and turned all the way, which made Song Yunfei and her look a little unhappy. After all, the two girls were still a little weak. Zachary then gave them a few needles to make them feel better.
After traveling for about three hours, when it was getting dark, Zachary and the others finally arrived at the Great King's Manor.
The Great King's Manor was very poor. There were a few tiled houses built side by side of the bumpy earth road. Occasionally, a few brick houses would appear, but they were also not painted, revealing the red solid bricks.
They moved on along the dirt road, all the way to the foot of the mountain. The number of houses here gradually increased, but most of them were still simple tiled houses. Among them, there were some wooden houses, which looked different, but in fact were very simple.
On an open space in front of the foot of the mountain, the tractor stopped. Although the sky had already darkened, the open space was still filled with villagers who were waiting. They were dressed in simple and crude clothes, and there were even quite a few men who were barefooted. However, the passion and sincerity in their eyes were still as hot as fire.
Master Wang smiled and took Zachary and others down. Then he shouted, and the enthusiastic and simple villagers greeted him with a smile. Some of them brought water and food. Some of them simply picked up Zachary's luggage and went to the village.
Before they came, they had already contacted the old headmaster, so the enthusiastic villagers had already packed up their residence, and let Zachary and the other two go there directly.
However, the old principal was still busy with re-study at the university, so he didn't come over.
After the accommodation was arranged, Zachary and the other two people had dinner in the enthusiastic hometown. From the food, it could be seen that the living conditions in the mountains were very bad, but the villagers almost still kept the best food, a small bowl of dried fish, an old hen cooking potatoes, and a bowl of wild vegetables and egg soup in the mountains for Zachary and the others.
After dinner, because it was getting late, Zachary and the other two were also very tired, so they didn't wander around and went straight to sleep.
The next day, Zachary and the others got up early after a night's rest. They breathed in the fresh air in the mountains and blew the cool breeze with the morning mist, which made Zachary and the two girls feel very comfortable and full of expectations for the future branch life.
Chapter 437
Chapter 437
After breakfast, Zachary and the two girls were led by Wang Dawei to the primary school of the Great King's Manor.
They walked along the mountain path. Although it was rugged, in this summer season, the mountains were full of trees, birds were singing, and flowers were fragrant. Tall trees and blooming wildflowers were everywhere beside the road. They walked along it as if they had entered a forest park, which made Song Yunfei and her little face blush for a long time. They looked around with excitement and were quite excited.
The path was not long. After walking for about half an hour, they went around a prominent slope on the left side of the village and arrived at their destination. It was a flat land under the hillside. At the moment, it was a bit of a mess, with a lot of building debris and mountain stones piled up everywhere.
However, in the ruins, there was a row of two-story buildings being built. At this moment, they had already begun to take shape. It seemed that it would be finished soon.
In front of the small building, a silver-haired old man was helping with the work, carrying cement and pushing the sand from time to time. He was so busy that he was sweating.
Master Wang shouted at the old man, "President Wang, the teacher of the branch teaching is here."
Hearing this, the silver-haired old man put down the work in his hand and walked toward Zachary and the others. With a smile on his face, he reached out his hand and said, "Welcome, you guys."
However, when his hand was about to touch Zachary, something suddenly occurred to him. He took a look at his dirty right hand and tried to wipe his clothes a few times.
However, Zachary held the old man's hands with both hands and shook them hard. With a sincere smile on his face, he said, "President Wang, thank you for your hard work."
On the way here, Zachary heard from Master Wang that Master Wang also went out of the village. After graduating from junior high school, Mr. Wong came back to stay in the village and became a teacher for the children. He stayed for decades. Master Wang sent away a group of students one after another, and also left wrinkles on his forehead one after another. He gradually changed from Mr. Wong to President Wang. The old man had been guarding the countryside for decades and selfless contributions, which made Zachary and others feel touched in their hearts.
For such an old man who devoted his life to the mountain village, the children, and the education career, Zachary only had admiration in his heart.
Then, the old principal shook hands with Song Yunjia, which had not been seen for a long time. The smile on his face became more brilliant.
As the old man chatted with Zachary and the others, he introduced the situation of the school to Song Yunfei, who had not been there for a long time.
The primary school here was called Spring Swallow, which was the only school in the surrounding regions. At most, there used to be more than a hundred children studying in the school. However, there was only one teacher, President Wang himself. He was the teacher of all the grade and subjects in the school, and he had been teaching for decades.
In the middle of the way, President Wang went to the county many times to ask for support from the county to send some substitute teachers. But he only sent a substitute teacher five years ago. As a result, he stayed in the school less than a week and left because he felt that it was too bitter here.
Later, President Wang went to the county many times, but the other party's response was something like thinking about it, and he couldn't see a person at all. In the past two years, when President Wang went to find him again, the other party simply disappeared.
Because of the lack of teachers and the lack of fund in the school, the number of children in the school in recent years had become fewer and fewer. Not until some time ago, the school was directly washed down by a rainstorm. Now, the students would never come again.
Fortunately, the photography reporter reported what happened here and attracted the first round of donation, including the 161, 000 yuan that Zachary donated, which was used to rebuild the school for the old principal. The old principal had planned to resume class after the school was repaired as soon as possible, but now that he had not been with Song Yunjia for a long time, the old principal directly sorted out a public office in the village as a temporary classroom.
In addition to working as a teacher with Song Yunfei for a long time, she was also a donateer with Zachary. The old headmaster took Zachary to walk around the school to see how the donation should be used. After reading it, Zachary couldn't help frowning, and his face looked a little bad.
Because although the main body of the school building was reinforced concrete, it could be seen that the wall of the stairs was only painted with a thin layer of cement, which was the kind of cement with less than sand. After soaking it in water, with a light poke, it could be poked out a large piece of it, revealing the red solid bricks inside.
And after taking a closer look, Zachary found that the solid bricks that were attached to the bricks were not green mortar that should be used on buildings. Instead, they were replaced by the original, sticky yellow soil that was mixed with water. This kind of clay was effective at the beginning, but as time went by, the wind and rain would hit it and it would be frozen. The clay was extremely easy to fall off. With a light crush, it could be ground into powder. With a little bit more effort, the red bricks inside could move.
"President Wang, the university gave it to the children. How can it be of such quality..." Zachary's voice was not very good, and he looked at the old principal seriously.
The old principal sighed softly and said, "There's no other way. We don't have enough money and the construction period is rush. That's all we can do."
"You don't have enough money?" Zachary's frown deepened. Looking at President Wang and the others, he said, "Why don't you have enough money? Apart from the photographer and the reporters who donated, we donated 160, 000 yuan. It's enough to build this small building."
President Wang sighed softly and said, "More than 160, 000 yuan, plus the 50, 000 yuan of the first batch of photography journalists, the money is enough. But I can't get it, so that's all I can do."

"You can't get it? What's going on?" Zachary was surprised and angry.
The old principal gave a long sigh and said nothing.
Master Wang on the side spoke, "Mr. Ching, these two batches of donation were originally sent to the school directly, and President Wang accepted them. Later, when we went to the county and ran off to rebuild the school, the people of the construction bureau did not approve the formalities. They said that our information was not complete and we needed the stamps of the education bureau."
"We went to the Bureau of Education for the seal again, but the Bureau of Education said that the donation money would be paid, and it would be planned and dealt with by the county and distributed accurately. They forced the money to be collected, leaving us less than 15, 000 yuan. They said that the money will be distributed in batches, so this house..."
Hearing this, Zachary's face darkened, and he immediately understood that there was something fishy going on. It must be the collusion between the Education Bureau and the People's Bureau of Construction. They had embezzled the donation money.
"Are the people in the Education Bureau so lawless?" Zachary shouted angrily.
Master Wang and President Wang were speechless for a while. They let out a long sigh and said, "In the beginning, we also questioned it. We went to the county to find the director of the Education Bureau and even went to the magistrate's door to hold a banner. But it didn't work. We even got beaten up."
"Director Pan of the Education Bureau threatened us. If we make any trouble again, we won't get a penny. We're just farmers in the mountains. We can't defeat them, so we have to accept it." Master Wang said helplessly. As a member of the social management system of King's Manor, he didn't want to do this, but there was no other way.
Hearing this, Zachary was burning with anger. He also understood the helplessness of the villagers.
At this moment, a ringtone came from the old headmaster's hand. The old headmaster took out his old mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and moved his mouth to Zachary and others. "Director Pan of Education Bureau." Then the old principal turned on hands-free and answered the phone, "Hello, Director Pan!"
"Old Wang, I have something to tell you!" An official voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Director Pan, please go ahead." The old principal had a helpless smile on his face.
"It's like this. Last time you went to the county to ask for the 5, 000 yuan of reconstruction funds. Now that you've encountered some trouble, you won't be able to give it back."
Hearing this, the old principal was shocked and shouted in a hurry, "Director Pan, how can this be? This can't be allowed. Our school still lacks the last sum of money. Otherwise, we can't seal it!"
"Old Wang, I'm just informing you. Why are you complaining about this? If you're short of money, you're not short of money in other places." Director Pan shouted angrily.
The old principal said angrily and helplessly, "But, Director Pan, those two donation are donated to our Chunyan School. Can you..."
"Old Wang, what do you mean by this? Do you think the money is yours? This is the money in the county. It's the money of the Education Bureau's unified plan. Do you want to go against the government's plan?" Director Pan raised a banner. The old principal repeatedly apologized, "Director Pan, please don't be angry. That's not what I mean! I just, just think that our Chunyan primary school has been crashed, and we still have classrooms to use in other primary schools. So, I want to ask you if you can tilt our Chunyan primary school a little bit. After all, there are still so many children waiting to go to school."
"Old Wang, as I said, this is the funds planned by the county's Education Bureau. If you want to support you, and if I agree, the other towns will also support me. What should I do?" Director Pan said in a furious tone. The old principal repeatedly apologized, "Director Pan, I know, I was wrong. It's just..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, the man on the other end of the line said, "Don't just think about it. The Education Bureau doesn't have the money. You don't have to come anymore." Then he hung up directly. As he put down the phone, the old principal's face turned pale, and he seemed to have lost his soul. He murmured, "It's over, the school is over, I..."
Before he could finish his words, the old principal's vision went black. He fell directly to the ground and passed out.
"Old principal!" Master Wang and others suddenly exclaimed.
However, it was Zachary who moved faster. He rushed forward, helped President Wang up, and quickly felt President Wang's pulse.
Chapter 438
Chapter 438
Seeing this scene, Master Wang was stunned for a moment.
Song Yunjia explained, "Hodge, Mr. Ching is a Chinese medicine practitioner. His medical skills are very good. President Wang must be fine."
As soon as Song Yunjia finished her words, Zachary said, "President Wang fainted because of excessive fatigue and malnutrition, which led to a shortage of Qi and blood. What's more, he fainted because he was angry with Director Pan just now. I can wake him up with two needles, but the fundamental reason is that he is lack of Qi and blood, which needs to be made up for."
While they were talking, Zachary had quickly started to acupuncture President Wang.
Hearing this, Master Wang was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back and ask my wife to kill the old hen and make it up for President Wang."
Looking at Master Wang's appearance, Zachary knew that tonics were also a luxury for this poor small village, so he said, "Master Wang, don't kill chickens. I have my way."
During the conversation, Zachary pulled out the silver needles on President Wang. President Wang really woke up slowly.
Zachary also made a phone call and said, "Hello, Huangpi, it's me. Go to Rende Hall right away and pack some common Chinese medicine herbs and some medicinal herbs for Qi-nourishing and Blood-nourishing. Bring them here. Remember to get more."
President Wang's fainting just now made Zachary realize that President Wang was not the only one who was malnourished in this village. Especially those children, they needed to supplement knowledge in addition to the school, and also supplement the body's nutrition.
It was hard for the village to get all these nutrients. Therefore, Zachary asked Huangpi to send a batch of medicinal materials directly, and he was ready to give a free doctor in the village. "Brother Hao, why are you so far away? Well, I'll send it myself," Huangpi said.
At this time, Zachary thought of something and said, "By the way, there's one more thing. You cooperate with me. Later, I'll give you a phone number, and you'll just... be like this..."
On the phone, Zachary and Huangpi came up with a plan that Zachary suddenly appeared from nowhere.
After Master Wang learned that Zachary was going to give free clinic to the villagers, he was overjoyed at once and thanked Zachary in a hurry.
However, the most crucial problem was still that the Education Bureau was stuck in the money. This problem must be solved. Otherwise, the money would not fall into the hands of the villagers, and it would only be washed clean by the vampires from above.
And the key to solve this problem depended on whether his plan worked.
Therefore, Zachary asked Master Wang to gather some middle-aged adults in the village to discuss and collect some information. Zachary then decided to go to the county by himself.
The next morning, Zachary got on a motorcycle that was almost worn out and almost fell apart. After it was launched, he rushed to the county town.
Zachary's physical condition was needless to say. A little jolt on the road was nothing. He drove much faster than a tractor, so it only took him two hours to get to the county.
When they arrived in the county, Zachary did not immediately go to the county government, but came to a small inn. He found the yellow fur of the county government in the inn. The two men made their previous plans and discussed it again. Then Zachary rode to the county government building on a Moto.
Before he reached the gate of the county government building, Zachary saw a security-like man coming from the gate of the building. It seemed that he was walking toward him.
"You, what are you doing? Leave quickly, don't you see where this place is? Is this place where you can come?" The security guard shouted, and rudely raised the baton in his hand, and coldly shouted at Zachary. Zachary smiled coldly in his heart, but he did not speak. Instead, he stopped the motorcycle, turned over and got off the car, and asked, "I have something to do here."
"What's the matter?" The security guard obviously didn't believe Zachary's words, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Zachary took a deep breath. Considering that this was not Ludington City and the provincial capital, he still needed to take action first. If he really couldn't do it, he had to hold back the impulse to do it directly.
He quietly took out a pack of cigarettes that had not been opened and handed it to the security guard. He forced a smile and said, "Big brother, I'm from Wangjiazhuang. Secretary Wang has something to do, but it's not convenient at home, so he let me come."
"Oh, Wang Dawei!" The security guard looked up and down at Zachary, paused, and then skillfully took over the cigarettes skillfully and obscurely. "You are all old acquaintances. Are you looking for Director Pan of the Education Bureau?" "Well, well! It's a question from the school." Zachary replied with a smile.
"Then go in. Remember, don't cause any trouble. Don't come out if you don't see Director Pan. Don't make any trouble for me." The security guard waved his hand and said.
Zachary immediately walked into the government building with a smile. As soon as he entered the building, Zachary immediately realized the difference. The outside heat was unbearable and the heat waves were surging, but inside the building, it was cool and refreshing. With the white and bright floor tiles, it was cooler and cooler.
There were not many people in the big hall, only a woman on duty at the front desk. Zachary walked over quickly. The woman was staring intently at the computer screen and did not notice Zachary coming over here at all. Zachary looked out and found that the woman was watching TV. He frowned unconsciously.
"Hello, may I ask..." Zachary asked.
Before she finished her words, the woman didn't raise her head. She waved her hand impatiently and pointed to the opposite wall. She said very unhappily, "There is a map on the wall. What do you want to do? Where to, look by yourself." Zachary was secretly unhappy, but he did not say anything. He went to the opposite side and checked, and soon he found the office of Director Pan of the Education Bureau.
The county government building was only four-story tall. Zachary found that it was equipped with two elevators. One of them was specially used by people at the director level of all departments, and the other was used by other people. Zachary didn't take the elevator. He walked directly to the stairs and came to the office of Director Pan, director of the Fourth-floor Education Bureau. The door of the office was closed, and there was no one around. Zachary quietly walked to the near side and listened to the door for a while.
Obviously, the sound insulation effect of the office door in the government building was very good. Even when Zachary was close to his ears, he could only hear some faint sounds.
But that was enough. Those low voices "mm, ah, ah" were sung, and Zachary, who had been in a human state, understood it at once.
He paused and seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, his eyes turned and he came up with an idea, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Huangpi. After that, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times, making a "bang bang" sound.
Suddenly, the sound of "mm, ah, ah, ah" in the room stopped, and then a man's voice, which was obviously a little unhappy, sounded, "Who is it?"
Although she had tried her best to hide her voice, Zachary could still hear her panting.
Zachary paused, shouted, and said, "Director Pan, I'm from King Zhuang. Secretary Wang and President Wang asked me to come over and ask about Chunyan School."
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!
The voice inside was obviously suppressing his anger. He said impatiently, "Didn't I talk about it on the phone? Don't ask too much about the county plan. Let's go back."
Zachary frowned and continued to say, "Director Pan, Headmaster Wang said that this matter is very urgent, so he asked me to meet you and talk to you."
There was a pause for a while, and then the voice sounded. "You go down and wait for me. I'll be right downstairs."
Zachary responded, but he did not leave. Instead, he stood at the door and did not move. Then he heard the friction of clothes and the sound of a couple talking in a low voice in the room.
About five minutes later, Zachary estimated that Director Pan would come out, so he quietly walked to the stairs, then turned around and pretended to have just gone upstairs.
At this moment, the door opened with a click. At first, a middle-aged man poked his head out to have a look, and then a woman dressed in a professional suit appeared next to him. Although the clothes were specially arranged, it was still obvious that it was a little messy.
Just as Director Pan was about to ask the woman to leave quickly, Zachary came up from the stairs. When he saw Director Pan coming out, he immediately smiled and walked over with a "passionate" look. He said, "Director Pan, you're finally out. Is this lady talking to you? Do you want me to avoid you first?"
"Can you ask more about the government?" Director Pan's face darkened and he was quite unhappy. "Didn't I tell you to wait downstairs?"
Zachary said, "President Wang said it was urgent. I thought you wouldn't be able to come down for a long time, so I came here to see you."
Director Pan rolled his eyes at Zachary, then pouted his lips to the woman next to him and said softly, "You can leave now. I have something to talk about."
Then he turned back to his office, followed by Zachary. As soon as he entered the office, Director Pan said to Zachary in a very arrogant way, "Close the door." "What on earth is it? Just say it!" Director Pan's face was not very good. Obviously, it was because Zachary had ruined his plan that made him very unhappy.
Zachary rubbed his hands and immediately showed his agility as a new farmer. He grinned and said, "Director Pan, President Wang wants me to tell you something. The spring swallow primary school in our village is about to be sealed, and it still needs thousands of yuan. I want to ask you to make an exception. After all, the children are still waiting to go to school."
When he heard that they were asking for money again, Director Pan's face darkened. His five fingers were buckled impatiently on the bright and clean desk. He frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I say that the unified plan should be arranged? Besides, the county's capital is in shortage now. Even the staff of the Education Bureau haven't paid for several months. How can we have money to repair a house for you?"
Chapter 439
Chapter 439
"But the school is still waiting for the house to be sealed up. It's only a few thousand yuan. Director Pan, please make an exception," Zachary said ingratiatingly.
"Now the county is also very difficult. You have to carry forward the tradition of hard work in the revolution and learn to self-control. The house is sealed with money. Can't you think of a way by yourself? You can go to the mountains to cut a few trees, or pull some grass and leaves for the time being. You just don't work on it!" Director Pan said with a look of teaching.
Hearing that, Zachary looked embarrassed and said, "But, in this case, I'm afraid..."
"But what? It's not that big of a deal." Director Pan patted the table impatiently and said, "I still have a meeting. You go back first, and find your own way." "But..." Zachary still didn't want to leave.
Director Pan was about to lose his temper. At this moment, his cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. There was a surprised look on his face. He quickly picked up the phone and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Huang. Nice to meet you."
Mr. Huang called the Education Bureau yesterday and said that he wanted to donate one million yuan to Chunyan School, hoping that he, the director of the Education Bureau, could help to contact them.
At that time, when Director Pan heard the figure of one million yuan, he immediately took over this matter and promised that he would take care of the donation matter by himself. Now, it was Mr. Huang's call.
"What? Mr. Huang, you want to make sure whether the first donation will go to Chunyan School! Of course, they're here. As the director of education here, I won't shirk the responsibility of primary school." Director Pan bowed his head with all his might.
"Oh, Mr. Huang, you want to find the people at Chunyan School to make sure! I understand, I understand, sure that is of course. Mr. Huang, then I will immediately contact the people at Chunyan School and then contact you. Goodbye, Mr. Huang!" Director Pan hung up the phone.
His brain was racing. This Mr. Huang, who donated one million yuan, needed to find someone from Chunyan School to confirm the one hundred thousand yuan he donated in the first batch. Whether or not it was in their hands. Thinking of this, Director Pan's eyes fell on Zachary.
Then, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said to Zachary with a sincere look, "You just heard it, and there is a big boss who wants to donate to us. Well, there are some words I want you to cooperate with. If you do well, I will approve the money of the Spring Swallow School."
Hearing this, Zachary said "excitedly", "Director Pan, I will definitely perform well. Please definitely approve the money of our Chunyan School."
Director Pan made a long drawl and said in a tone of a superior, "Then you can't make trouble. Otherwise, if other bosses get angry, they won't donate money. It will be too late for you to cry when they see you." "I won't make trouble for you. I'll do my best."
"Well, wait a minute, you do as I say. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, I'll definitely do as you say."
"Wait a minute, I will let you talk to the big boss. If the big boss asks you that the money has not been paid to Chunyan primary school, you must say it. Don't say anything else, understand?" Director Pan warned. "Got it!" Zachary nodded his head repeatedly to show that he got it.
Director Pan was still worried, so he repeated it to Zachary again. Then he dialed the phone and soon the phone was connected. After a round of compliment, Director Pan handed the phone to Zachary and gave him a warning look. "Boss, yes, I am from Chunyan School. We have received the money you donated. Secretary Wang and President Wang thank you very much for your great kindness." Zachary said gratefully.
After saying a few more words of thanks, Pan De winked at Zachary, indicating that he should not say more. Zachary said in a hurry, "Boss, thank you. I'm a little anxious and want to go to a pit. Please tell Director Pan." After that, he handed the phone to Pan De.
Ponde immediately took the phone and laughed as he chatted with the big boss on the other end of the line.
About five minutes later, the phone was hung up. Pande took a deep breath and heavily sat on the sofa. After a moment of silence, he looked at Zachary and said, "What did Mr. Huang say on the phone just now?"
Zachary was stunned for a moment. He pretended to remember and said, "It's nothing. Just let us live a good life and manage the school well. Don't make it hard for our children."
"That's all?" Pan De leaned forward and looked at Zachary with fierce eyes.
"Yes!" Zachary looked well-behaved and nodded his head hard.
Director Pan leaned back and said slowly, "The boss has already donated money. It's 10, 000 yuan in total. For the sake of your good performance, 10, 000 yuan is awarded to you Chunyan School." "Thank you, Director Pan. Thank you." Zachary quickly "thanks" him.
"Well, well, you don't have to thank me. It's not easy for you to come here. Well, I'll write you a note first, and you can go to the finance department downstairs to get the money. I'll pay you first, and when the other's boss is here, I'll take back my money." Director Pan kindly suggested.
"Thank you so much, Director Pan." Zachary said "very "excited".
"You don't have to thank me. I'm the director of the county's Education Bureau. These things are what I should do. I'm serving the people!" Director Pan finally slapped "Lei Feng" and said, "By the way, make a note for me so that I won't have any problems by then."
"Okay!" Zachary replied. He immediately gave a note to Director Pan in the office, dipped it in the mud, and then made a handprint on the note.
Then Director Pan also sent the note from the Finance Department to Zachary. Watching Zachary go out with gratitude, Director Pan showed a proud and disdainful smile and picked up the receipt. He added two more zeros to the account book, put it into the drawer of the desk, and whistled proudly.
With this note in hand, when all the million yuan of Mr. Huang was in place, he could be pocketed by Director Pan. After all, the other party could sign this note, and they could get a lot of money for a million yuan. Thinking of this, Director Pan couldn't help but be more proud. He was so excited that he twisted his fat body in the office.
Zachary went downstairs to the Finance Department to get the money, and then quickly went out the office building of the government. Then he rode on the motorcycle and rushed for a while, and found Huangpi in the small hotel. The two men confirmed what had just happened in the hotel and went out. At the moment, Huangpi changed into a suit and bright leather shoes, which really sounded like a big boss.
When he arrived at the government building of the county, Huangpi called Secretary Pan as he had planned. When Secretary Pan heard that the big boss had come to give him the money, he was surprised and delighted. He hurriedly went out to welcome him.
"Mr. Huang, you're here so soon. It's convenient for me to welcome you without informing you first!" Director Pan said politely.
Huangpi smiled and said lightly, "Director Pan, you're welcome. I came here this time to visit Chunyan School."
How could Director Pan let Boss Huang go to Chunyan School like this? He quickly said, "Boss Huang has come a long way. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go inside to sit down and have a cup of tea!"
Boss Huang nodded and was about to enter with Director Pan. At this moment, Zachary happened to pass by and saw Director Pan. He was "surprised" and immediately walked forward and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Director Pan, I didn't expect to meet you again soon."
Seeing Zachary's sudden appearance, Pan De was stunned for a moment, and then he felt nervous and nervous. If Zachary went against Boss Huang in the matter of donation, he would be exposed.
Suddenly, he glared at Zachary and wanted to drive the silly guy away immediately. However, the situation at this time was clearly not allowed him to do so. He could only force himself to force a smile and said to Zachary, "The note I just gave you is right. Why haven't you returned yet? The villagers are still waiting for you to bring the good news back."
The meaning of Director Pan was obvious. When ordinary people heard this, they naturally knew that Director Pan wanted them to leave as soon as possible.
However, at this time, Zachary didn't seem to understand and said with a smile, "Director Pan, there is no problem with the note, and the money is also received. Well, I just contacted the people who sold materials on the street and asked him to send the materials back to us."
"Money for the materials?" Huang Pi looked very interested and asked, "What money? What do you need to buy materials for?"
Without waiting for Zachary to speak, Director Pan didn't even wipe the sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to you, Boss Huang. This is the villager of the Chunyan School that you were going to teach this time. They received your money, so they came to buy materials and build the school."
Then Director Pan looked at Zachary, pointed to Huangpi next to him, and said, "This is the Boss Huang who donated to you at Chunyan School. Thank you, Boss Huang."
Zachary's face was full of "surprise". He walked over enthusiastically, grabbed Huangpi's hand, and excitedly said, "Mr. Huang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, our Chunyan School wouldn't have been closed, and the children wouldn't have been able to go to school."
When he heard Zachary say "10, 000 yuan", Director Pan was so nervous that he almost jumped out of his throat. He wished he could rush over and cover Zachary's mouth immediately.
But it was obviously still too late. Mr. Huang noticed that something was wrong. He frowned, looked at Director Pan and asked sharply, "10, 000 yuan, what's the matter?"
Chapter 440
Chapter 440
"Mr. Huang, this... I..." Director Pan stammered.
Mr. Huang turned his eyes to Zachary and asked, "Hey, fellow-townsman, tell me what's going on with that 10,000 yuan?"
Zachary looked confused and replied honestly, "You didn't donate 10, 000 yuan to our Chunyan School, but Director Pan went to our school to fix it!"
After Zachary said that, he saw Director Pan behind him with a pale face. It seemed that he had thought of something. He immediately added, "Director Pan is really a good person. He said that the donation money has not arrived, and he gave 10, 000 yuan in advance from his salary to let me go back to primary school as soon as possible."
Hearing Zachary's words, Director Pan almost fell to the ground this time. His face was as pale as a ghost, and his sweat was pouring down like a small waterfall.
Huangpi's face immediately fell. He turned to Director Pan and asked in a cold voice, "Director Pan, what's going on? I remember you told me that it's not like this."
Huangpi was also burning with anger at this time. Although he had already discussed with Zachary and he had long thought that there was something fishy in the county's Education Bureau, he did not expect them to be so black-hearted and so shameless.
He had long thought that the Education Bureau would deduct a part of the money, but what surprised and angered him was that the so-called part was a total of 999 thousand yuan. If Zachary had not been present, Director Pan would not have transferred the 10,000 yuan and all of it would have fallen into his pocket.
"Director Pan, what the hell is going on? If you don't give me an explanation, I'll have to report the case." Huangpi's eyes were cold. He stared at Director Pan and said seriously.
In a hurry and panic, Director Pan was tongue-tied and a little overwhelmed. In the end, he could only put on a bitter face and tell an excuse that even he himself couldn't believe, "Mr. Huang, things are not what you think. The county education bureau has set up a special fund to help the poor mountain village improve the education environment. In order to make a reasonable use of the fund, we never send money out once, but when there are difficulties and need, we will allocate some money according to their situation so that the funds can be more used."
"Really?" Huangpi sneered. "I donated one million, but why did it become ten thousand in your mouth?"
"Ah, one million!" Zachary looked very surprised. "Director Pan, didn't you just say that it was only ten thousand yuan, and you said that you gave it all to us?"
Director Pan touched his sweat and said, "This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I mean this 10,000 yuan is the first start-up fund. Maybe the old man didn't hear it clearly. The remaining 999 thousand yuan will be divided into many cycles later and be distributed separately."
"Director Pan, don't talk about the one million yuan. Even the photography reporter and the kind-hearted man from the sub-sect donated more than 200, 000 yuan. You haven't sent it yet, have you?" Zachary added fuel to the fire. Director Pan was tongue-tied and a little overwhelmed. Huangpi gave him a cold look and went straight into the government building. "Director Pan, it seems that you can't handle this matter. I'd better report it to your superiors!" Director Pan saw this and hurried to stop him. If the matter was exposed, he would definitely come to no good end.
Suddenly, he caught up with Mr. Huang with a flattering smile and said, "Mr. Huang, there are some misunderstandings about this matter. We can sit down and have a talk."
"I don't think it's necessary to talk about it." Huang Pi said coldly without stopping.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the two people, Director Pan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. It seemed that he had seen the scene of himself being locked up in a dark cell. He suddenly made up his mind and gritted his teeth. Fury rose from his heart and he was full of courage.
He waved his hand to the government building and ordered, "Come and arrest these two troublemakers."
At the gate of the building, several security guards had just seen Director Pan talking and laughing with the two men from a distance, but the situation changed in a twinkling of an eye. They couldn't help but be confused for a moment. Seeing that the security guards didn't move, Director Pan quickly shouted again. Now, the security guards finally rushed over and surrounded Zachary and Huangpi. They held batons in their hands and their faces looked fierce. When Huangpi saw this, he raised his eyebrows and was about to attack. However, Zachary gave him a look in time to stop him from taking any action.
"Director Pan, what are you doing?" Huangpi shouted coldly.
Since they had already offended each other openly, Director Pan couldn't care more. He didn't say anything to Huangpi. He just waved his hand and said to the security guard, "Take him to the police station. Dean Liu will handle it." The police station was not far from the opposite of the county government building. Soon Zachary and Huangpi were brought to an empty small room in the police station. The two were handcuffed and cuffed on iron chairs. "Brother Hao, these people are too arrogant. corruption is against the law, and they dare to detain the people on their own." Huangpi endured his anger and said, "Also, why didn't you let me do it just now? Even if there were only two of us, we could beat them down."
Zachary shook his head and said, "There is no problem for us to knock them down, but after that! If Director Pan can't be dealt with, there will be no progress in the donation. So we must trip this Pan guy down."
"That's not easy. Brother Hao, you should make a phone call and get rid of this little director right away." Huangpi said.
Zachary said with a funny smile, "We are not in the provincial capital or the Ludington City. I will call someone! Besides, even if someone is called, it will be difficult to deal with the man surnamed Pan if there is no evidence. Therefore, we are now going to collect evidence."
"Collect the evidence!" Huangpi smiled and said. Then he saw Zachary's mobile phone, which had been taken away, was placed on a table in the corner at this moment. The camera was shooting at this side, and he immediately lost a thumb to Zachary.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. Someone was coming.
Zachary winked at Huang Pu and asked him not to speak. Huang Pu's hearing was not as good as Zachary's, but at this time, he also heard the footsteps outside. So he closed his mouth and looked coldly at the door.
With a squeak, the door was opened and two middle-aged men came in. One of them was Director Pan, and the other, wearing police uniform, was walking next to Director Pan. Presumably, he was Chief Liu, whom he had just mentioned. After the two came in, they glanced at Zachary and the yellow-skin, and finally, their eyes fell on the yellow-skin.
"What are you looking at, scum!" Huangpi spat out a mouthful of saliva, his face full of anger.
Director Pan was not angry. Instead, he smiled, walked over to Huangpi, and said, "Mr. Huang, why did you do this? I know that you are a big boss, and you want to do something good to show off. But if you want to show up, you just need to donate the money. I can help you with the photos, letter of thanks and so on. Why do you care about other people's business? What's the use of the money?"
"What do you think of my suggestion, Mr. Huang? You've won the reputation, and I've benefitted from it. Do you think it's a win-win situation?" Director Pan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Huangpi said angrily, "Bah, it's a win-win situation! You're shameless. How can you think others are so shameless? In my opinion, Pan is a beast that is worse than pigs and dogs."
After being scolded by Huangpi, Director Pan flew into a rage. Coupled with the fact that he had been pretending to be a coward in front of Huangpi for a long time, he immediately broke up with Huangpi. He sneered and slapped Huangpi.
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!
Although Huangpi's hands were handcuffed, he had been trained in Cyril's security for a long time. In fact, this kind of skill could not be compared with the guy who was hollowed out by alcohol and women.
Seeing that Director Pan's palm was about to hit him, Huangpi suddenly put forth his strength, jumped up from the ground and swept at the other side fiercely. He was swept and almost fell down. Huangpi did not stop but continued to kick forward and kicked on the belly of Director Pan. Suddenly, he was in so much pain that the guy cried out.
Dean Liu, who was beside Director Pan, didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant. With the presence of the police, he actually dared to hit. Immediately, he pulled out the baton at his waist and hit Huangpi.
At this time, Huang Pi could not dodge at all. He could only chop down the blow. With a hum, he lowered his head and fell softly on the chair.
"How dare you hit people? Do you think this is your company? Let me tell you, in our place, we are the masters. Don't care about who you are, just stay here obediently." Chief Liu shouted angrily, raised his baton, knocked on the table a few times, and threatened.
At this time, Director Pan also got up from the ground, gave a fierce look at Huangpi and said, "Huang, don't think you are great just because you have a lot of money. I'll tell you today that in our place, we are the heaven, and we are the earth. I'll see who dares not to listen to us." After saying that, Director Pan deliberately glared at Zachary.
Huangpi spat and said with hatred, "What a son of a bitch. I won't donate my money. I'll take back all of it."
Director Pan sneered and looked at Huangpi mockingly, saying, "You don't want to donate? Take it back? I tell you, you have to donate the money. Now the money is not yours. It has nothing to do with you. It belongs to our county's education bureau."
"Kill me if you dare, or I'll definitely report it to you after I go out," Huangpi said fiercely.
"
reported me!" Director Pan sneered, looking fearless. "I can tell you that the report is useless. At that time, when I get the money, I will build a toilet for any village and build a pavilion. Then I will open the accounts and stated that the bricks used are imported bricks from Japan, 21 yuan. The cement is imported in Germany, 500 yuan a bag. The lamp is imported from Italy, 5, 000 yuan... Finally, your million yuan is estimated to be only enough to build a toilet of more than 10 square meters. Anyway, it has been spent. Let them check."
Director Pan looked as if he had nothing to fear. It was obvious that he was good at playing this kind of trick.
"You Pan, you'll die a tragic death!" Huangpi cursed angrily. Although he was only a ruffian before, he was born in a poor family. When he was a child in his hometown, his family had suffered a lot from corrupt officials, so he hated the corrupt behavior of Director Pan and the others.
