Lu Fan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and just kicked him down.
A banging sound was heard, a deep pit appeared in the iron cover, and the frame was completely separated from the surrounding cement, unable to withstand the strong force.
Seeing him like this, Wang Laowai felt very guilty and shouted angrily, "Li Suo, this guy is blatantly destroying my belongings. Why don't you stop him quickly..."
After all, Li Guoxiang had worked at the police station for many years and had met too many criminals. He had already guessed it by observing their words and demeanor.
The old guy did indeed do something shameful and wanted to deceive him with lies.
He immediately snorted coldly and ordered his subordinates, "Open the lid and quickly go down and search to see what is hidden inside."
The three police officers quickly took action and worked together to remove the heavy cover and frame, revealing the steps leading below.
One of them walked down quickly, saw the items stacked inside, and shouted:
"Li Suo, there are no vegetables at all down there. There are many boards and two large wooden boxes containing various tools."
Lu Fan said in a deep voice: "These are all things I threw away."
Li Guoxiang's sharp gaze fell on Wang Laowai and said sternly: "What else do you have to say?"
When the matter was revealed and faced with the accountability of the law enforcers, Wang Laowai was able to remain calm. After all, he had someone to rely on. He hurriedly said, "I'll give Secretary Chen a call later."
As Secretary Chen's brother-in-law, Li Guoxiang knew that the old guy was related to his brother-in-law, so he said nothing and allowed him to take out his cell phone and wait and see what happened.
Mr. Wang's hands were trembling, but he finally got through and said quickly: "Yong Liang, I've committed a crime, please help me."
In theory, Wang Laowai is Chen Yongliang's cousin, and their mothers are cousins.
In this generation, things are even worse.
However, Wang Laowai always sent various local products to Chen Yongliang's house, such as fresh fish from the lake, local eggs, bamboo shoots, etc. He moved around frequently and maintained a good relationship.
If anything happens, Chen Yongliang will protect him. After all, as the person in charge of the entire Yulin Town, he can cover the sky with one hand and just say a word.
Chen Yongliang's voice came from the receiver, "Don't worry, speak slowly if you have anything to say, what's going on? I'm here, it's no big deal."
As if he had taken a reassurance, Wang Laowai took a long breath and continued: "It's that fool Lu Fan from our village who falsely accused me of stealing. You have to make the decision for me..."
"What?" Chen Yongliang's voice became quiet, and he said angrily: "You must be sick. Why did you provoke him for no reason? Let me tell you, no one can save you."
"Ah..." Wang Laowai's face was full of astonishment. He didn't know what to do and froze on the spot.
Who would have thought that when Secretary Chen heard Lu Fan's name, his attitude completely changed and he was completely different.
Li Guoxiang glanced over with contempt, grabbed Wang Laowai's cell phone, and said righteously:
"Brother-in-law, let me report to you...this family has stolen Lu Fan's belongings, and everyone has gained the stolen goods."
After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Chen Yongliang immediately made a statement, "Stern punishment must be imposed, and this kind of illegal behavior must not be tolerated."
"I got it." Li Guoxiang hung up the phone, returned the phone to Wang Laowai, and scolded: "If you dare to deny it, handcuff me."
Then some police officers came forward, handcuffed the old man forcibly, and escorted him to the front yard, followed by Lu Fan and others.
Seeing the head of the family being arrested, all the children in the house were shocked and overwhelmed with fear.
Big Flower Shoes even wailed loudly, "Why are you arresting my old man? Let him go quickly. Is there any justice?"
Faced with her unreasonable troubles, Li Guoxiang had his own way to deal with it. He said with a sullen face: "Why are you shouting? Arrest her too. When the time comes, we will file a public prosecution and get at least two to three years in prison."
Even though the big shoes struggled hard, there was still a pair of heavy silver bracelets on my wrists, and I couldn't help but feel panicked and completely withered.
Lu Fan even made it clear that the old couple alone could not move those boards. The children of the Wang family were all suspected of committing the crime and must not be let go.
Li Guoxiang was the one he didn't dare to offend. Anyway, it didn't matter how many more people were arrested. He simply ordered his subordinates to arrest all those guys.
As a result, the Wang family was in chaos, no longer as tyrannical as before, and their faces turned pale with fear.
Thinking that Secretary Chen was no longer reliable and that the family might be sentenced, Wang Laowai had no choice but to file a lawsuit privately and was willing to double the compensation for Lu Fan's losses so that they would not be held criminally responsible.
How could Lu Fan take advantage of this family? He put forward two conditions.
First, the Wang family took back his lost belongings, and joined Mr. and Mrs. Wang and their children in the car to talk about the crime through a loudspeaker and admit their mistakes.
The second is an additional compensation of 100,000 yuan, which includes loss fees, lost time, etc. There is no room for negotiation.
The harsh requirements made the Wang family miserable. They kept begging to see if they could pay less, but Lu Fan flatly refused.
Anyway, either the whole family goes to jail, or they plead guilty and pay money.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Wang family had no choice but to admit defeat, and the couple's handcuffs were opened. Their intestines were filled with regret.
Wang Laowai went into the house and took out a bankbook. The police officer from the police station drove him to the town and withdrew 100,000 yuan. When he came back, he gave it to Lu Fan.
During this period, a group of Wang family members endured the pain and loaded the planks and wooden boxes on the tractor.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, a shocking scene appeared in Taohua Village. The usually arrogant and unreasonable Wang family stood in the tractor carriage, all dejected, like chickens with plague.
Moreover, Big Flower Shoes shouted with a loudspeaker: "Folks, our family is not human. We stole Lu Fan's wood and tools last night and committed an irreparable crime."
The children next to them said in unison: "We are beasts. We will never dare to do this again. We must confess to Lu Fan and say we are sorry..."
Almost all the people in the village came out and gathered on the roadside to watch the excitement. They couldn't help but marvel.
It's really unexpected that the Wang family sometimes gives in. They are usually so stubborn.
When they saw the BMW SUV following the tractor and the police car from the police station, the villagers suddenly realized.
Obviously Lu Fan is not a good person. Anyone who dares to steal his things is asking for trouble.
Under the supervision of Li Guoxiang and others, the Wang family pulled the things to the foot of Taohua Mountain, unloaded the truck and stacked them neatly before being allowed to leave.
Li Guoxiang looked at the piles of boards around him, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh.
This guy is getting better and better. Where does he get the money?
Even though Li Guoxiang harbored resentment in the past, his face did not show it at all, and he gave serious instructions.
"How can these valuable timbers be left unattended? You have to hire two people as security guards to prevent them from being lost again."
Lu Fan nodded, "I understand, come here, I have something to ask you."
Li Guoxiang was a little puzzled, so he asked several police officers to go back to the car and wait. He followed them and came to the back of a large stack of boards.
The two stopped and Lu Fan said: "We may have had some misunderstandings in the past, please don't mind."
Li Guoxiang was not sure what kind of medicine this guy was selling, so he was a little nervous and responded hurriedly.
"No, I have forgotten about that a long time ago, and I will definitely not provoke you."
"That's good." Lu Fan smiled slightly, took out two wads of banknotes from the bag, stuffed them into Li Guoxiang's hands, and explained the situation.
"Take this, I'll give you ten thousand, and I'll treat the brothers to tea with another ten thousand. Thank you for your hard work."
