Chapter 219: 219 got into trouble (first update)

Food factory office.

Tie Bao and Liao Xianghe were speaking to Su Xiaofeng, "You asked us to secretly follow them. We discovered they first went to a nondescript little shop and came out shortly after, keeping Su Guisheng and his wife locked in the car for quite a while before the car finally started moving toward Lihua Village."

"The car must not have stopped in Lihua Village for more than five minutes before it left. As soon as it departed, Su Guisheng and his wife began to wail loudly. The funny thing is, they didn’t dare mention their money was stolen. They claimed they were crying over a loss." Liao Xianghe couldn’t help but laugh when thinking about the scene, the crying was so loud, anyone who didn’t know better would have thought they were mourning someone."

"Their van had just arrived in the county town when it was stopped by Captain Hong," said Tie Bao, looking at Su Xiaofeng. "Boss Su, was it you who called the police? Xianghe and I certainly didn’t call them."

Su Xiaofeng shook her head: "I didn’t call the police either. I merely asked you to follow them to see if they were in it together."

"If it wasn’t you and it wasn’t us, then it can only mean that they were just unlucky and had long been targeted by Captain Hong and his team." These folks dressed decently but engaged in home invasions, Captain Hong’s team must have had their eyes on them.

"Boss Su, is that bracelet of yours very valuable? If it’s precious, we might as well ask Captain Hong to return it." If it’s something valuable, Captain Hong and his team would definitely try to find the rightful owner after recovering it.

"It’s not worth much. Besides, the other party has already paid me." Enough to buy ten of those with five hundred.

"Having no expert eye yet daring to operate in this field," Tie Bao found it amusing to think about it. These people dared to appraise antiques without being in the trade, must’ve misjudged their value, "These people don’t look like swindlers, more like fools."

"They mistook me for a fool," Xiaofeng chuckled lightly, "thinking I had something valuable on me, who would have thought it was practically worthless."

Could she admit that she had switched it? Certainly not.

"They’re the fools, with no discernment whatsoever." Liao Xianghe just had to think about those idiots to feel the urge to laugh, "These are the dumbest swindlers I’ve ever seen."

"Don’t say that. If Captain Hong hadn’t made his move suddenly, they might have gotten away with it," Tie Bao didn’t think the other party was stupid; at least they had no intention of coming out empty-handed.

"That’s true, their initial target must have been Su Guisheng and his wife. As for their performance at Boss Su’s, it must have been a smoke screen, a show for the Su Guisheng couple. Their final move was to rob the Su Guisheng household clean." Once Xianghe thought about it, he realized how slick the perpetrators were—not foolish at all. Their true intention was never Boss Su, but the Su Guisheng couple.

With a corner of her mouth turned up, Xiaofeng listened to Tie Bao’s interpretation.

That explanation made sense.

It was Su Guisheng who brought the people, and as for what the other party really had in mind, only they themselves knew.

All in all, Su Guisheng wanted a share of her assets, and not only did he end up with nothing, he even lost his own family’s wealth. The outcome was rather tragic.

"So, people shouldn’t be too greedy. By being too greedy, in the end, you gain nothing and even lose everything you have." It was obvious to anyone with eyes, why Su Guisheng and his wife came to Xiaofeng—they wanted to see if they could get any benefit from her.

The idea was good, but the outcome for them was probably quite uncomfortable.

Xiaofeng didn’t believe Su Guisheng and his wife would take this incident as a lesson; on the contrary, it might lead to other issues.

It seemed she had to go back for a visit in the next day or two.

"Miss Su." Early in the morning, Captain Hong stopped Xiaofeng at the gates of the factory: "Please, wait a moment."

"Captain Hong," Su Xiaofeng looked at him approaching and was quite surprised, "What brings you here?"

Captain Hong smiled: "We solved a case where the suspects confessed to having conned a bracelet from you."

"Are you looking to return it to me?"

"Would you not want it anymore?" Captain Hong handed the bracelet back to Xiaofeng, "Is this the one?"

Xiaofeng took it, glanced at it: "Yes, that’s it. Were the people caught?"

"Of course, these individuals have committed quite a few crimes and the amount involved is significant, so they had to be caught," Captain Hong said while watching Xiaofeng. "These people confessed: in collusion with your uncle, they planned to con the bracelet from you. Turns out, the bracelet was a fake all along, and having gained nothing from you, they robbed your uncle’s house."

"So you’re saying that my uncle might be guilty too?"

"Of course." Captain Hong waved his hand, "I have to make a trip to Lihua Village. Are you going back too?"

Xiaofeng smiled, "Well, of course I am."

Why miss out on such a good opportunity?

"Then come with us," Captain Hong gestured to the car not far away bearing the sign ’Police Station’: "Get in the car. Let’s go together; you can also show us the way."

"Okay, just wait for me, I need to arrange today’s work at the factory."

Captain Hong gestured towards the car, indicating he would wait for Xiaofeng there. She nodded, turned around, and entered the factory.

...

A small car with ’Police Station’ written on it stopped outside Su Guisheng’s house.

The arrival of a police car was indeed a matter that could attract considerable attention in the village, so within less than five minutes of the police car being there, all the men in the village knew about it.

"The police car is here? For real, did Guisheng get into trouble?"

"I don’t know. Let’s go and see."

Curiosity and concern about such an intimidating yet fascinating object as a police car brought everyone together, crowding around to see.

The villagers of their village had always been very honest, never had a major incident occurred, let alone something that warranted a police car’s presence. Now with the police car outside Guisheng’s house, what serious matter had taken place?
