Chapter 57 Punishing Evil (Part 2)
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiaying completely ignored the two county heads and respectfully faced Zhang Huban, waiting for his next instructions!
Good heavens! How did I make a mistake on this joint bone?! This young man who didn't even look at me with his right eye is actually the master! Kill me! The two county heads cried out in their hearts!
He smiled awkwardly, and the county magistrate quickly came up with an idea, hastily pulled out a soft Chinese cigarette, handed it to Zhang Huban, and accompanied him with a smile: "I am the county magistrate of this county, I don't know that Director Chen has arrived, and I have lost my distant welcome!"
"I'm not Director Chen! He's the one!" Zhang Huban replied coldly, his subordinates were so rampant, and their superiors must have been lenient to some extent, maybe they were even in cahoots with each other. Therefore, Zhang Huban didn't give a good face to the two county magistrates who rushed over!
Good heavens! How can I keep making mistakes like this! How could I have misidentified him again?! So that means Director Chen should be that middle-aged man Luo! No way! The two county heads seemed to have thought of a possibility at the same time, exchanged a glance, and saw endless terror in each other's eyes! The whiteness of their faces refreshed its record once more! Good heavens! Which god did I offend these past few days?! There's actually someone here with an even higher status than Director Chen's!
Two county heads stood there, their minds completely blank, not just frozen, but estimated to be about to crash if they didn't reboot soon!
Seeing the two county heads with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears, Zhang Huban couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. He waved his hand and resolved the current awkward situation, saying to Chen Jiaying: "Take them out to talk, don't disturb Old Man Chen's rest. As for how to deal with these guys, you handle it, but absolutely do not show leniency." After speaking, Zhang Huban's voice became stern again.
"Yes," Chen Jiaying replied respectfully, then nodded to the two county heads and walked out. Didn't you see how respectful Director Chen was? Although the young man looked ordinary, the two county heads didn't dare to be careless and respectfully bid farewell to Zhang Hupan before retreating, almost as if they were performing a "Your humble servant takes his leave!" like in a palace drama.
As for those guys on the ground, physically, after being subjected to intense physical attacks, they were almost battered and bruised all over; mentally, after seeing the attitudes and conversations of the two county heads and those three fierce-looking men, they almost completely collapsed! County Head Ma, Director Wang, and that Ma Qi had almost foamed at the mouth and gone mad! Those poor deputy directors and section chiefs who followed the county head were temporarily acting as porters to move the bodies!
After they went outside, the two county heads suddenly realized that they had not seen Chen Jiaxuan's documents. It was estimated that Chen Jiaxuan's method of calming down the crowd earlier was too powerful, or his identity was a bit high. The two county heads forgot to check the documents in that tense atmosphere. Chen Jiaxuan is not an unreasonable person. After going out, he handed over his documents for the two county heads to review before they even opened their mouths. As seventh-rank officials, they recognized this high-end item! After reviewing it, the two of them, who had no doubts to begin with, began to consider how to deal with these troublemakers, estimating that any past mistakes would be dug up and announced.
The Chen family had been poor to lower-middle peasants for generations, and they never managed to climb up to rich peasant status. Maybe relying on the orchard behind their house, they might be able to become rich peasants in a few years. So in Chen Father's eyes, the village head was already an extremely high-ranking official, not to mention the county head. Now it's even better, the young man in front of him, although he looks ordinary, but even the county head has to speak to him in a low and humble tone. So although Zhang Huban had a smile on his face, although he knew that Chen Youmi was his roommate, Chen Father couldn't control the trembling of his legs. Even Chen Youmi, who usually ate, drank, played and joked without any worries, now couldn't see clearly how to treat this roommate from the mountains with an attitude that would be more suitable. Thinking about how he had even given this person, who was even more honorable than the county head, a hard time on the tiger bench, no, eighteen kinds of torture, his forehead started sweating profusely.
Zhang Huban certainly felt the complex emotional changes of Chen Youmi and his family, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. It seems that being an ordinary person is not easy after all! Zhang Huban didn't want to lose such a simple and sincere friendship, so he smiled and patted Chen Youmi's shoulder, saying: "Even if I'm someone who scares the county head, we're classmates, friends, and you'll always be my junior! Do you need to do this? Can our several months of getting along become distant and estranged because of just a little identity problem?"
Zhang Huban's words touched Chen Youmi's heart, although the winter in the mountains was cold, his heart was burning with fire. The past was vivid in his mind. Ah, what's wrong with himself? No matter what background and origin Zhang Huban had, he was still his good friend and elder brother! Can identity kill friendship, can it kill the feelings of living together day and night? Moreover, the higher his skills and status, shouldn't he be more happy and proud as a friend?! After thinking through these things, Chen Youmi suddenly felt relaxed and no longer constrained. However, Chen's father and mother couldn't adapt to their son having a friend with such a noble identity for the time being.
Ignoring Chen Fu's anxious gaze, Chen Youmi began another round of severe interrogation. Poor Zhang Huban hadn't even had a few minutes to catch his breath before having to endure Chen Youmi's cruel torture again. He could only repeat what he had said in the car, this time in much greater detail, and also elevated the old Taoist's status. Chen Youmi listened with eyes wide with excitement, secretly deciding that one day he would go to Wudang and Shaolin to search for a powerful martial arts master to be his teacher. But then again, why bother when there was already someone right in front of him? People are just strange creatures like that - no matter how amazing something familiar is, the feeling won't be particularly strong. It's like how locals in Zhejiang think Fudan and Qinghua universities are more impressive than Zhejiang University, but to outsiders, Zhejiang University is very impressive. Maybe this is what they mean by "outsiders make better monks".
Everything was resolved perfectly, and the Ma family and the director of the Public Security Bureau had to be punished. The Chen family became a key protected object in the county from then on, just to flatter the provincial leaders! The county invested heavily in developing the road to Chenjia Village and launched the free-picking agritourism project in Chenjia Orchard. As a result, transportation improved, tourism projects took off, and farmers in that area became rich. The county was repeatedly praised by the city and province for this matter, as an example of helping farmers start businesses and finding ways out, which was widely promoted. This is another story, and it will not be mentioned here again.
Now that the matter was settled, Zhang Huban had originally planned to rush back to Hangzhou on the same day, but Chen Fu and Chen Mu were extremely reluctant to let him go, and Zhang Huban saw that Chen Youmi seemed still a bit worried about his family, so he decided to stay overnight. Since Zhang Huban had made up his mind, there was no way for Chen Jiaxuan and others to object, although they had very important tasks at hand, Chen Jiaxuan didn't dare say a word, but when no one was around, she took the opportunity to make a phone call to her subordinates and arranged a specific action plan. Coincidentally, it rained that night, and on such a rainy day, Chen Fu's joints would normally be in severe pain, making it impossible for him to sleep. However, something strange happened, after Zhang Huban's acupuncture treatment, his chronic illness disappeared without a trace. The next day, Chen Fu was again filled with gratitude, and seeing that his father's long-standing illness had been cured, Chen Youmi also set off back to Hangzhou with peace of mind.
