Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 969 Taking the Blame
Under normal circumstances, with the Wu family under investigation, Wu Xiaobin's father is too busy to even take care of himself, and it will likely take even longer before he realizes there's a problem with his son not returning home.
After all, this wasn't the first time these young masters had gone out together, relying on their families' wealth. Their elders had friends and acquaintances all over the country, so these kids were basically taken care of wherever they went. It was normal for them to be away from home for ten days or half a month at a time.
Wu Xiaobin's family didn't realize there was a problem, but Zhao Dongdong's family was the first to notice something was wrong.
When the child did not return home or call to let his family know he was safe, Zhao Dongdong's father, Zhao Huaishan, quickly contacted Wen Xiaotong, who was temporarily suspended from his job, to inquire about the follow-up matters regarding the child's detention by the Fengcheng Public Security Bureau.
After learning from Wen Xiaotong that the man had been released, Zhao Huaishan tried several times to ask friends in Fengcheng to help him inquire about his son's situation.
As a result, Wen Xiaotong contacted several friends and asked around, only to get a very bad result.
For the past week, no one has seen Wu Xiaobin, Zhao Dongdong, or the other two, nor have they been in contact with them.
Even Wen Xiaotong realized something was wrong and immediately told Zhao Huaishan what she knew.
Wu Xiaobin's father was placed under investigation, but Zhao Huaishan was unharmed. Although he was not as high-ranking as Wu Xiaobin's father, he still had some connections and influence.
Zhao Dongdong's aunt's family name is also Zhao; she is the daughter of a concubine in Zhao Ruixin's family. From this perspective, Zhao Dongdong's status is actually not much different from that of Xiao Bin, the leader.
The root cause of the Wu family's troubles was provoking Yue Feng. Their son, Dongdong, was also involved. Now that they can't contact him, is he in danger?
Thinking of this, Zhao Huaishan immediately went to find his younger brother Zhao Huaimin and, through his brother's wife's connections, tried to find his son's whereabouts as quickly as possible.
The Zhao family is, after all, a top-tier entity, and the notice for assistance in the investigation was sent to the Tiecheng Public Security Bureau that same day.
Upon receiving the notification, Alexander immediately dispatched personnel to investigate and search for the child. For a time, many less important cases were put aside, and most of the police force was devoted to finding the child.
Rumors flew everywhere, and everything was in chaos.
That day, Yue Feng was at his father-in-law's house with his wife and children, discussing with Wang Jianguo the road repair project for the village next spring, when the phone at the village office rang again.
Yue Feng got up and strolled around to answer the phone.
"Hello? This is the Xing'an Village office. Who are you looking for?"
"Xiaofeng, it's your Tiger Brother!"
This time, Wang Hu was not joking or laughing when he called; instead, he was very serious.
Yue Feng also sensed something amiss from the tone and asked seriously, "Brother Tiger, what are the instructions?"
"What happened to those people who caused trouble at Xiao Tao's wedding a few days ago? Did your city's Public Security Bureau handle them? Were they released?"
"Brother Tiger, you're asking about this? Director Ma called me and said that a high-ranking official from customs pleaded with him, and he couldn't refuse, so he released the man!"
"It seems that the anti-smuggling police officer has been temporarily suspended from duty for reflection!" Yue Feng said truthfully.
"What about the other three?"
"If the ringleaders have been released, then those who followed them must have been released as well, otherwise they wouldn't be able to give statements or anything!"
Director Ma said that some people pleaded with him for leniency, and although there were many people involved, they were detained for a few days before being released!
"you sure?"
"Confirmed! Director Ma explained the situation to me before releasing him, and he only released him after I relented!"
Hearing Yue Feng's relatively calm answer, Wang Hu said seriously, "Those three young masters from Beijing disappeared not long after they left Fengcheng!"
According to what I know now, the Zhao family has already contacted the authorities to file a case and issued a notice for assistance in the investigation, suspecting that the three of them were murdered!
"We're brothers, tell me the truth, you didn't do it, did you?"
Hearing this topic, Yue Feng frowned slightly, then smiled and explained in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Haha, Brother Tiger, what are you thinking! I was just a little annoyed at the time! Once it's over, it's over and done with. It didn't cause any serious consequences, so why would I do something that's thankless and risky?"
Think about it, if I really wanted to get revenge on them, I would have simply refused to give in when Uncle Ma contacted me, and then let you put pressure on me.
They are in the wrong and have broken the law, and we have no leverage over them. As long as we don't back down and insist on handling the matter officially and legally, it's enough to sentence them to several years in prison.
In this situation, there's no need to wait until they get out to retaliate!
Yue Feng's logic is sound. If you really want to get to the bottom of this, based on their illegal possession of firearms, cross-border illegal arrests, and deliberate disturbances, they can be convicted in a reasonable and legal manner.
When Wang Hu heard Yue Feng say that, his tense nerves relaxed.
"If you put it that way, then I'm relieved!"
"What's wrong? That Wu Xiaobin guy, last time you said your family didn't have much power, why do you seem a little uneasy?" Yue Feng continued to ask.
"Wu Xiaobin's family doesn't have much influence. The family of Zhao Dongdong's second uncle, who he hangs out with, is a branch of the Zhao family from the General Staff Department!"
Both families share the surname Zhao, but people in the industry know that Zhao Dongdong's second uncle actually became a live-in son-in-law!
I just received news that they are searching for the child there; the child is missing! That's why I contacted you immediately!
Don't worry too much. Everything needs to be based on evidence. As long as you haven't done anything, there's nothing to be afraid of!
The Zhao family on the General Staff side isn't anything special; we're not afraid of them!
"Okay, I understand now! You keep following up on this, and let me know if you hear anything!" Yue Feng replied.
"it is good!"
"That's all for now, bye!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng's nonchalant expression vanished instantly, replaced by a furrowed brow.
"Xiaofeng, who's calling? Come out and wash your hands, dinner's ready!" Wang Xiaona, the wife from the outer room, shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You guys eat first, don't wait for me, I have something to do!" Yue Feng replied, then hesitated while holding the phone.
Everyone on his side has been quite well-behaved these past few days. Those privileged kids have been taught a lesson, and their families have paid the price. In Yue Feng's opinion, that's enough. There's no point in going back to teach them a lesson in private.
Based on this, it's definitely not Yue Feng's side that did anything.
Who would that be?
After much deliberation, Yue Feng concluded that Zhang Wenhui was the most suspicious person!
Yue Feng is a law-abiding citizen, a grassroots village official, a young hunting team leader who cherishes his reputation, and will soon become a promising young entrepreneur.
Zhang Wenhui is different; he's now a full-fledged underworld boss.
After so much development, Zhang Wenhui's team has undergone a qualitative change in strength. The last time the two brothers talked on the phone, Zhang Wenhui even joked that if Yue Feng could afford it, he could even get a Katyusha from Russia.
This must have taken a lot of power, which indirectly proves that Zhang Wenhui has completely established herself and grown strong in Mandalay.
A few seconds later, Yue Feng's emotions overcame his reason, and he dialed Zhang Wenhui's number.
This time, the phone rang a few times and was quickly answered.
"Hello, Mandalay Post Office, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhang Wenhui! Could you please have him call me back? Just tell him I'm a friend from my hometown and I need to speak with him urgently!" "Just a moment!"
About half a minute later, the phone called back.
"Haha, Brother Yuefeng, you were looking for me? I'm so sorry, I've been dealing with some trivial matters lately that have kept me from going. I even missed my brother's wedding! Don't hold it against me!"
Zhang Wenhui sounded very cheerful on the phone, speaking in a very cheerful tone.
"Brother Hui, it's me, Xiaofeng. I'm calling you because I have something to tell you. My buddy from Beijing just contacted me!"
He said on the phone that several children had gone missing in their village and asked if I had seen them! Yue Feng gave a very subtle hint.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhui, who had been relaxed just a moment ago, instantly changed her expression.
He was so focused on getting revenge that he forgot to consider whether it would affect Yue Feng.
Zhang Wenhui paused for a second, then said calmly, "If the child is lost, just look for him! Maybe he went to the reservoir to fish and catch shrimp while playing! Oh, did the Wang family ask you to help them inquire?"
"No, not at all. They just wanted to find out what's going on! My brother Tiger told me that one of those kids comes from a family with connections, and they sent a notice from Beijing to the Tiecheng Public Security Bureau for assistance in the investigation! It'll probably take a while to find them!"
"Okay, I got it! Is there anything else? I'll come visit you when I'm done with this!"
"It's alright now, be careful over there!"
"rest assured!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng closed his eyes slightly and let out a long breath.
Based on Yue Feng's understanding of Zhang Wenhui's temperament, those people were most likely dealt with by his men; otherwise, Zhang Wenhui wouldn't have reacted so calmly on the phone.
Yue Feng felt that Zhang Wenhui's words about catching fish and shrimp in the reservoir were somewhat ambiguous. Could it be that these people had been fed to the fish by Zhang Wenhui's men?
Now, Yue Feng was getting a little angry. He rubbed his face, feeling a bit awkward.
Yue Feng knew he was innocent and hadn't done anything, but outsiders didn't know that.
Those Beijing kids caused trouble in Yuefeng Village, and then they were arrested. Not only were their families investigated, but they also went missing. It's hard to imagine Yuefeng being able to stay out of this mess.
Zhang Wenhui originally intended to vent her anger and seek revenge, but she inadvertently pinned a huge blame on Yue Feng, who was unable to defend himself or prove his innocence.
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and this matter also has a good side.
As long as the person cannot be found, the case cannot be solved.
Having weathered this period of pressure, when I go back to Beijing, everyone inside and outside the industry knows that Young Master Yue Feng is not to be trifled with, and provoking him will come at a price! Look at that so-and-so from so-and-so's family, he just lost his job!
……
On the other side, Zhang Wenhui, after hanging up the phone, returned to her house with a normal expression.
"Ma Leizi, come here, I need to ask you something!"
Soon, Ma Leizi, who was idly cleaning his gun inside the house, walked up to his elder brother.
"What's wrong, Brother Hui!"
"Think back carefully to what happened a few days ago. Did you leave any loose ends? I just received a call. One of the three people has connections and has issued a notice for assistance in the investigation, searching for him all over the world!"
Ma Leizi shook his head: "Don't worry, Brother Hui! Before we started working, I used the Three Steps to knock out the person on night duty at the guesthouse! We were efficient throughout the entire process!"
Their room and belongings were kept very clean, so even if someone came to check the next day, they would definitely think that the person had left early and would not suspect that something had happened!
Now that car has been sold to the other side of the strait through the "captain's" connections. Even if the border guards on the other side investigate personally, they won't find any valuable information!
"What about Monkey and Little Horse? These young lads may be bold, but they're still young. They shouldn't be so careless with their words. They might get into trouble if they brag about their big jobs!" Zhang Wenhui asked thoughtfully after hearing this.
Ma Leizi shook his head again: "That's impossible too. Fifth Master reminded me as soon as we got back!"
As Fifth Master instructed, after these guys finished their work with me and came back, I gave them their pay and gave them a break.
They've been arranged to stay on the other side of the river. My friends there will take care of them; they can go hunting and maybe look for Russian girls! They won't be back until at least the river freezes over after the snow!
Hearing this answer, Zhang Wenhui completely relaxed.
Since Fifth Master had warned Ma Leizi in advance to send the people to the other side for vacation, the news definitely wouldn't leak out in the short term.
After a few months, the investigators will probably go back home, having weathered the storm, greatly reducing the risk of leaks.
"Okay, I got it! When you're shipping the goods again, tell your friend across the street to keep an eye on these little ones!"
"Ok!"
……
While undercurrents were swirling in China, on the other side of the ocean in the United States, Evan and his partner received a videotape that had been checked and mailed over time in China.
The moment Evan got his hands on the videotape, he summoned his partner Robert and Mr. Allen to the Peregrine Foundation’s headquarters.
Evan flashed the videotape and deftly shoved it into the player, saying, "Mr. Robert, Mr. Allen, the videotape sent from China has arrived. I'll let you know right away!"
This matter has dragged on for a while, and I hope you won't be too surprised after watching the video!
Robert pursed his lips: "Let me finish watching first. I need to see the real situation before I can make an accurate judgment!"
"Of course! I'm starting to play it!"
Soon, the play button was pressed, and the video began to play.
The footage on the videotape was not professionally edited or post-produced; it was simply copied from the original master tape.
The first scene is a performance of the palace rabbit and tiger enclosure.
The perfect coordination between the monkeys, goats, and albino sparring falcons is presented throughout the video.
Robert's eyes widened when he saw the albino stalk climb to a high place, snatch the hat off the rabbit and tiger's head, and then the two falcons continued their hunt peacefully.
"Damn it, what's going on? This magic falcon can actually get along peacefully with the saker falcon?" (End of Chapter)
