The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Alright, since everyone is so curious, I'll let Cui Xianghui come out and meet everyone."

After hesitating for a long time.

Chen Fang nodded.

Yuan Zhenting saw this behavior.

He still scoffed disdainfully.

In his view, Chen Fang was still acting at this point.

"Bring the person out."

Chen Fang first gave Yuan Zhenting a meaningful smile.

Then he issued an order to Guo Zheng.

Guo Zheng nodded and entered the health clinic.

At this moment, the crowd started to become tense.

Seeing Chen Fang's performance, Sun Shenru also became somewhat uneasy, and asked Yuan Zhenting, "Is there no problem?"

"Leader, be at ease, he's just putting on airs; there won't be any problem."

The words had just fallen.

A wheelchair was pushed out.

Cui Xianghui was sitting properly in the wheelchair, and from the looks of it, he was completely unharmed.

Just at that moment.

Yuan Zhenting suddenly froze.

His mouth agape, as if he saw a ghost in broad daylight.

Sun Shenru was even more furious.

If it weren't for Yuan Zhenting repeatedly assuring that everything had been taken care of, he wouldn't have foolishly rushed to the rescue today.

"What is your name?"

Chen Fang asked Cui Xianghui.

"Cui Xianghui!"

At this point, although Cui Xianghui's voice wasn't loud, his answer was clear, which further indicated that he had no problems at all.

"Impossible, this can't be..."

Yuan Zhenting finally couldn't bear it any longer, he murmured.

"Old town chief, it was you who insisted I bring him out, so whatever happens next, you can't blame me now."

After finishing.

Chen Fang, in front of everyone, continued to ask, "Cui Xianghui, I ask you, why did you set fire to the cooperative's warehouse?"

"I lost a lot of money gambling, and then that person told me, just set the cooperative's warehouse on fire, and all my debts would be written off."

Cui Xianghui said.

Chen Fang nodded and continued to ask, "The person who told you to set the fire, is he here at the scene?"

Cui Xianghui's gaze wandered through the crowd for a moment.

Then, he slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to a young man who was stealthily hiding.

Wen Mei was quick and swift.

She immediately rushed out and dragged the hiding young man out.

"Is it him?"

Chen Fang pointed to this person and asked.

Cui Xianghui nodded and said, "It's him."

The crowd burst into exclamations, and everyone started discussing.

Of course, the expressions on everyone's faces were also incredulous.

This person was Yuan Kui, who had always been at Yuan Zhenting's side, the young man was his only son and the deputy chairman of the cooperative.

"Impossible, impossible, Chen Fang, your methods are too low, how could my son set fire to the warehouse, you are deliberately framing him, you are just trying to reverse the charges."

Before Yuan Kui could even start to defend himself.

Yuan Zhenting loudly scolded.

Chen Fang remained calm and composed.

He slowly walked up to Yuan Zhenting and said, "Old town chief, originally, I didn't believe what Cui Xianghui said, but unfortunately, your son had his own schemes. A few days ago, he took out a huge insurance policy on the warehouse, including predominantly fire insurance, and notably, the beneficiary of the insurance was himself. After such a fire, he could receive hundreds of thousands; tell me, how clever of him to have prepared just days before the fire, and while other merchants couldn't receive a penny in compensation, he made a killing. Just with this alone, how will you explain to the villagers of Songlin Village?"

There was a buzzing sound.

Yuan Zhenting's mind seemed as if it was about to explode.

He ferociously looked at Yuan Kui, who was being restrained by Wen Mei.

Seeing that Yuan Kui was hanging his head silently, obviously, he was acknowledging the situation.

"Ah? What? Is that so?"

"How could this be? He never mentioned buying insurance."

"So the truth turns out to be this, damn it, it's people hurting their own, it's simply beastly! And we trusted him so much!"

The villagers of Songlin Village, having heard the truth, began to stir noisily.

Swearing erupted one after another.

The anger of the common people flared up once more, only this time it was directed at Yuan Kui.

Such an outcome.

Sun Shenru had not foreseen it, nor had Yuan Zhenting.

All their schemes and calculations, yet the error lay with his own son, a bitter pill he now had to swallow himself.

Just as everyone was pondering how to conclude this matter.

Yuan Zhenting's cane forcefully thudded against the ground.

He said, "Fellow villagers, regarding this matter, I, Yuan Zhenting, apologize to everyone. I, Yuan Zhenting, have always acted with the people's interests at heart, yet I never imagined that I would raise such a good-for-nothing son, causing losses to all of you. I, Yuan Zhenting, will take full responsibility and will compensate everyone accordingly. Moreover, I also request County Chief Sun to take charge and severely punish my son, to give everyone an explanation, and to satisfy the demands of the law!"

No wonder they say Yuan Zhenting is a master.

Seeing that the situation had turned against him.

He immediately stepped forward to take all the responsibility onto himself.

He vividly performed a drama of a father's mistakes due to an untaught child.

With the addition of tears streaming down his face.

The anger of the crowd was quickly subdued.

He took a deep breath.

He then looked towards Chen Fang and said, "Town Chief Chen, I truly was unaware of this matter. I have caused you trouble and troubled the government. This rotten kid is now in the hands of your government, do as you see fit, however you judge or sentence, if I, Yuan Zhenting, say another word, then I am not a human being!"

Yet another melodramatic act.

After he finished speaking.

He dramatically shook his head.

His whole person appeared unsteady and trembling.

Like a lonely, helpless old man wanting to leave the scene.

Just as he was about to exit the gates of the health clinic.

Chen Fang said, "Old Town Chief, wait a moment."

"Town Chief Chen, is there something else?"

Yuan Zhenting asked.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Old Town Chief, since you're here, there's no need for you to leave."

Having said that.

He glanced at Wen Mei.

Wen Mei understood the cue.

With a wave of her hand.

Two police officers stepped forward and directly handcuffed Yuan Zhenting.

"Chen Fang, what is this supposed to mean? The one who set the fire was Yuan Kui, not me. I am indeed his father, but a son's mistake shouldn't implicate his father," Yuan Zhenting said, becoming somewhat anxious.

He started to defend himself loudly.

After the situation had turned, Sun Shenru had remained silent. Seeing Chen Fang act this way, he also expressed his displeasure, saying, "Comrade Chen Fang, what are you playing at?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Indeed, I have no evidence that the Old Town Chief was involved in this fire, but what about the brawl four years ago? Shouldn't the Old Town Chief explain that?"

"A brawl? It's been four years, and it was dealt with at the time. What's there to explain?" Yuan Zhenting asked.

Chen Fang smiled indifferently.

Then he snapped his fingers.

At the entrance of the health clinic.

Two people came out.

An old man and a young man.

When Yuan Zhenting saw the faces of these two people, his face immediately turned ashen.

Supported by the police, his legs could not help but tremble.

"Who are they?" Sun Shenru asked.

Chen Fang pointed to the old man and said, "Leader, let me report to you, this elderly gentleman is Yuan Kaishan, the guardian of the cooperative's warehouse, and the young man is Yuan Zhongping, everyone calls him Ah Ping, he's the owner of Ah Ping Bamboo Crafts."

Then.

Chen Fang gestured to Ah Ping.

Ah Ping came down the steps.

During this process, he turned again to look at his own father.

Old man Yuan Kaishan, agitated, said, "Ah Ping, whatever you know, tell it to the government. Town Chief Chen saved your dad's life, you need to pay back this great favor."
