Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

Zhao Guofu had been loitering around the village chief's house for the past few days, trying to find out who had killed the bear.

But when he saw that it was Chen Feng and Lao Huang carrying things in, his eyes widened like saucers.

He repeatedly reassured himself that it was no big deal; the money was just left with Chen Feng for a few days, and sooner or later they would have to return it with interest!

After Chen Feng went outside, he saw Zhao Guofu still squatting at the door. He deliberately took out the stack of money and said sarcastically, "Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Zhao. I am unworthy of such kindness."

"Hmph!" Zhao Guofu knew he was no match for Chen Feng in a war of words, so he could only leave in a huff!

"Brother, the Zhao family doesn't seem to have any good intentions!" Old Huang said worriedly. They had just returned from hunting bears, and they couldn't afford any mishaps now!

But there's only the principle of being a thief for a thousand days, not the idea of ​​guarding against thieves for a thousand days.

Chen Feng explained to Lao Huang, "The village chief just pulled me aside and specifically brought up this matter. He gave me a letter, which Director Yang left specifically for us. Why don't you take a look?"

After saying that, he handed over the envelope, but Old Huang looked embarrassed.

"I'm not very educated and can't recognize many words, so you should read them to me!"

Chen Feng chuckled and pulled Lao Huang to a secluded spot, where he quietly read the contents of the letter aloud.

There were some parts that Lao Huang didn't understand, so Chen Feng explained them to him in plain language.

"I understand now, the Zhao family has really gone too far! They actually had connections with those tomb raiders; they're nothing but beasts!"

Chen Feng deeply agreed. The Zhao family had been a scourge to the village for years, and now they were finally going to be dealt with!

"But they have five brothers, and they hang out with a bunch of hooligans in the village. What if Director Yang doesn't bring many people? Could some slip through the net?"

Chen Feng's heart sank. Old Huang's worries were not unfounded. If a few of them escaped, the village would never have a peaceful life again.

He pondered for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea. If the plan could be carried out as intended, not a single member of the Zhao family would escape!

Chen Feng and Lao Huang exchanged a few more words of advice and agreed to go to the county together the next day to sell the bear. They planned to sell the bear gallbladders, paws, and hides first. As for the 300-plus jin of bear meat, he planned to deal with that later.

After all, this isn't pork; it tastes quite fishy and gamey, and it's indeed difficult to find buyers for such a large quantity.

Chen Feng had originally planned to go to town to discuss the matter with Director Yang, but as soon as he opened his door, he saw Director Yang and several other police officers already sitting in his yard.

"Brother Yang, how come you got here so quickly?"

"Hahaha, the hero is back! Let me take a good look at him," Yang Kai walked up to Chen Feng, he was in a very good mood today!

When Chen Zhengang approached him before, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what the Zhao family wanted to do, so he had been leading his men around to investigate for the past few days.

After arresting the local thugs, they confessed their entire plan!

Yang Kai had long disliked these lawless thugs and ruffians. Now that he had found evidence, he would make sure they were sent to prison for a few years of reform!

"We came to your house to avoid attracting attention. Chen Zhengang probably has someone watching him," Yang Kai explained. They had just been discussing how to capture the five Zhao brothers.

But after analyzing it again and again, we still couldn't find a perfect solution.

The Zhao brothers' houses are next to each other, and it's said they keep several hunting dogs. If they encounter strangers, they'll bark incessantly.

If we alert them, they are very likely to flee to other villagers' homes, or even incite villagers to violently resist the law!

"Brother, you know Chenjiagou better than we do. See if you have a route that's the safest way to catch those guys!"

Chen Feng looked at the ground. Yang Kai was indeed a veteran criminal police officer. Even when he drew a location map on the ground with a tree branch, he was very detailed and accurate.

"I have a plan to lure them all out, and then we can capture them on the road!"

"What method?"

"Notify them to attend a meeting. The brigade's location is about 600 meters from their home. There are several alleys along that stretch of road, which is perfect for you to ambush them in advance!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai fell into deep thought, rapidly considering the possibilities of Chen Feng's plan. After a period of brainstorming, he ultimately affirmed the other party's idea.

"That's good. I'll go find Chen Zhengang later and have him lure these people out under the pretense of watching the victory celebration!"

Yang Kai acted immediately, putting on his military overcoat and heading out to find Chen Zhengang.

Soon after, the village loudspeaker blared, announcing that villagers should come to the brigade for a meeting at six o'clock sharp!

The event honored the heroes who fought the bear and the Zhao brothers who provided the funding.

The broadcast specifically emphasized that other villagers could arrive later, but the Zhao family and the bear hunters must arrive by 5:00 AM. A leader would be there to meet with and commend them separately!

"What's going on? Those bastards from the Zhao family have actually become heroes?"

"That's right, that's right! That scoundrel Zhao Ergou broke my old man's leg last year, and he still can't walk properly!"

"Why worry about so much? We're sure to get a free meal this time, so it's not a bad deal!"

Some villagers who were unaware of the situation began to discuss the matter, mostly expressing their dissatisfaction with the five Zhao brothers.

But inside the Zhao family home, the atmosphere was filled with joy. The village chief had just visited and given each of them a large red flower to wear on their clothes. County leaders were going to commend them later!

With such a good thing happening, they naturally all had to attend. Zhao Baogen combed his hair in front of the mirror for quite a while. He didn't have many hairs to begin with, and he combed away even more of them.

Zhao Guofu and Zhao Ergou, annoyed that the others were too slow, went out first.

Just as they were imagining that this was a great success, bringing them both fame and fortune, and that they would be even more prestigious in the village in the future!

But suddenly several burly men rushed out of the alley and dragged them inside without saying a word.

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, we're police! Tell me, where are the others?"

Zhao Guofu realized he had fallen into a trap and was about to shout when Yang Kai knocked him unconscious. Seeing this, Zhao Ergou noticed a foul odor emanating from his crotch, and a stream of fluid flowed down his trouser leg.

"My dad and the others are still behind us," he said, terrified, and hurriedly explained everything.

After some thought, Yang Kai decided to take the two men back first. Since there were still many people left, he would arrange for them to be arrested within the main force.

Zhao Baogen found it strange; why were his eldest and second eldest brothers so agitated? He hadn't seen them on the way.

"The leader said he'll meet with you one by one," Chen Zhengang said with a smile, calling one member of the Zhao family into the meeting room every now and then.

It wasn't until Zhao Baogen was the only one left in the lobby that he realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to turn around and go home, Chen Feng and Yang Kai blocked his way!
