He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Li Dezhi was stunned. He scratched his head, not expecting that this matter would involve Su Weizheng.

He Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately shouted.

"Hey, you just wait, Director Su will be here soon. Let's see what you're going to do then. Trying to force a sale and take our fish? Absolutely not!"

Li Dezhi gave a sinister laugh and nodded sharply.

"Fine, I'll wait for Su Weizheng to arrive. Don't think I'm afraid of him; I'm the head of the city's aquatic products company's purchasing station. I have the law to buy your fish!"

"Even if it's Su Weizheng, it won't work. Anyway, I'm going to take all your fish today, not a single one will be left."

"Anyone who dares to oppose me, I'll deal with them, and I'll even use the law to punish them!"

He turned his head again and scolded irritably, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me a chair to sit on, and get some medicine. How dare you hit me with your shoe! It seems to have crooked my nose."

He pinched his nose, wincing in pain.

His men immediately started moving chairs and fetching medicine.

Seeing this, Niu Bayi was not in a hurry and waited for Su Weizheng to arrive to see if it would have any effect.

If it were any other thug, he would have already beaten Li Dezhi and his gang to a pulp and forced them to flee in disarray.

But for now, we have to be patient.

He raised his hand, pushed the pistol off his head, and pulled He Zhenzhen away, walking towards the other side.

The group of men who had guns pointed at him knew that a deputy director was coming, so they dared not make any further moves and could only go with him.

Chen Liuqi quickly walked over to Niu Bayi and lowered his voice.

"Bayi, what do we do? Are we supposed to sell him our whole boatload of fish for 8 cents a pound? That's too much of a loss. These people are just robbers."

The other three brothers were also indignant.

He Zhenzhen said, "Don't worry, when Director Su arrives, he'll definitely be able to deal with him."

Chen Liuqi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Zhenzhen, you might not know this, but this seafood company is a very powerful entity. It's located by the sea, and they wield a lot of power. Look, they even have guns on their person, just to intimidate fishermen who don't want to sell their fish!"

"Besides, they're using a respectable name to buy fish, so I'm afraid even if Director Su comes, it won't be very effective."

Upon hearing this, He Zhenzhen's face fell.

"Oh no, what do we do now?"

Niu Bayi remained calm and composed, smiling slightly, appearing quite confident.

"Don't worry, there's always a way out. And where there's a way, there's a way... no, the boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge."

At this moment, Li Dezhi was already sitting in a chair, sprawled out, looking exactly like a wealthy landlord, appearing particularly fierce, with his subordinates cleaning the injuries on his face.

Li Dezhi pointed fiercely at Niu Bayi.

"Kid, don't think that just because Su Weizheng is here, he can back you up. Let's see who can back you up. Nobody can. That's what I, Li Dezhi, am saying."

Niu Bayi replied casually.

"Then let's ride a donkey to look at the account books and see how it goes."

About ten minutes later, a police car drove up.

Su Puyue, who had been waiting on the side, immediately went to greet them.

Su Weizheng emerged from the police car.

"Dad, we've been bullied. Bayi and I went out on a boat and finally managed to catch several thousand kilograms of fish, but the seafood company wants to buy them for 8 cents a kilogram. Isn't that cheating us?"

"We can sell them to fishmongers for at least 3 yuan per jin (500g)."

Su Weizheng's face also darkened, and he waved his hand.

"Let's go up and take a look."

He jumped onto the fishing boat, nodded to Niu Bayi, and asked gently, "Bayi, are you alright?"

Niu Bayi shook his head.

"Director Su, could you please take a look at how to handle this matter?"

Li Dezheng calmly stood up from his chair, clapped his hands, and walked towards Su Weizheng.

"But instead of obediently handing over the fish, they violently resisted."

"Your daughter even hit me in the face with her shoe. Look, it knocked my nose crooked and made it bleed."

Su Puyue said fiercely, "You deserve it."

Su Wei glared at Su Puyue, but didn't say anything. He then looked at Li Dezhi with a smile.

"Station Chief Li, this Comrade Bayi is also one of our meritorious officials. He helped the Public Security Bureau capture an entire pirate gang. You know the Ruins of St. Paul's, right? He's the one who captured them."

Li Dezhi let out a long "oh," turned his head to glance at Niu Bayi, and continued with a forced smile.

"Wow, I didn't expect Comrade August 1st to be so capable. You were the one who caught the gang at the Ruins of St. Paul's, but so what?"

He slapped his hand suddenly, startling Su Weizheng.

Li Dezhi said, "Since you helped the Public Security Bureau arrest the gang from the Ruins of St. Paul's, it means you are a law-abiding citizen. Since you are law-abiding, I should cooperate with you when I want to collect your fish, instead of making a fuss and preventing me from collecting them!"

"And you even ordered two women to beat me up, right?"

"Well then, for Director Su's sake, I won't hold it against you. I was originally going to charge you 80 cents a pound, but now I'll charge you an extra cent, 80 cents a pound. Isn't that giving you enough face?"

Immediately, Niu Bayi's face couldn't help but show a hint of anger.

Will you pay an extra cent per kilogram to buy it?

This is absolutely insulting!

He was too lazy to bother with this, so he looked at Su Weizheng and said, "Director Su, this seafood company should have collected a lot of fish at the dock before. I think they've collected almost all of them. Even if there's a purchase quota, there's a limit."

"I asked him to show me the relevant documents to see exactly how many fish he wanted to collect and how many he had already collected. If he hadn't collected enough, I could let him collect more until he had enough."

"But if they keep taking more after I've already taken enough, I definitely won't be happy about it."

"You agree, right?"

This was logical and well-organized, which made Su Weizheng nod in agreement.

He glanced at Li Dezhi and continued to smile.

"Station Chief Li, Comrade Bayi is right. According to the current policy, as long as the required quantity for the purchase task is met, the rest can be traded freely. Or else..."

"Take out the document and let me see it."

Li Dezhi said in a sinister tone, "Director Su, you are a person of status and rank, and you understand the regulations. You should know that this document is not for just anyone to see; it involves state secrets."

"If everyone wants to see it, I have to show it to them. What if criminals find out about our seafood company's acquisition plan? What if they try to sabotage it? Don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Su Weizheng was immediately put in a difficult position.

He had to turn his head, and Chong Niu Bayi gave a wry smile.

"Comrade Bayi, what Station Chief Li said seems to make some sense. The procurement task is indeed a secret of their unit."
