Chapter 48: 48: Caught and Incarcerated
Chapter Forty-Eight
Soon, many people rushed to the village.
Such an incident at the farm caused a great stir in the small village.
Ergouzi and little Tie's family members watched them barely clinging to life, covered in blood, crying and screaming as they threw themselves onto them.
However, the iron-clad evidence was right there.
The two had actually been trying to put pesticide in the pond, and the villagers didn't have much sympathy for them. Besides, Long Xiaoshan's farm had benefited many, and life in the village had improved significantly. Even the relatives of Ergouzi and little Tie worked on the farm and were paid wages.
Therefore, most stood on Long Xiaoshan's side, condemning the two men.
Long Fakui hurried over.
Seeing the state of Ergouzi and little Tie, he first expressed shock, then joy, and pretended to be very angry as he shouted, "Lawless, simply lawless! This is murder. Call the police immediately."
He then picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number.
Zhang Widow shouted, "Long Fakui, what are you doing? Didn't you see that they put pesticide in the pond first? And now you're calling the police? We're all from the same village; don't go too far."
The other villagers joined in support of her sentiment.
Long Xiaoshan's parents hurriedly pleaded with Long Fakui, asking him not to call the police.
"Ignorant, taking the law as a joke! Just because they used pesticide means they can be killed?" Long Fakui shoved Long Xiaoshan's parents away and dialed out.
"Mom and Dad, don't beg him," Long Xiaoshan said as he stopped his parents, watching Long Fakui coldly.
He didn't believe Ergouzi and the others would be so bold. Although he had fought them before, to actually do something like this was extraordinary, and he suspected someone was behind it. In the village, only one person could command those two.
But with no evidence at hand, he couldn't target Long Fakui yet.
An hour later, a police car from the township station arrived.
Long Xiaoshan didn't resist, knowing that he had indeed hurt people. He took out his cell phone, handed it to Long Dashan, and whispered something to him.
Then he was handcuffed and taken to the car.
Long Fakui, with a sinister look, came close to the car window and whispered, "little Xiaoshan, reflect well in jail. I'll take good care of Chun Tao for you."
His face was smug, making Long Xiaoshan want to smash it to pieces.
He replied coldly, "Uncle Fakui, man does the deeds, heaven watches the results."
Long Fakui said with disdain, "In Longyang Village, I am heaven. You're too green to fight me."
With that, the police car started up and drove away.
Meanwhile,
After watching Long Xiaoshan being arrested,
Long Dashan hurriedly followed Long Xiaoshan's instructions and used the cell phone to call Su Wan.
Su Wan, upon hearing that Long Xiaoshan had been arrested for assault after someone poisoned the fish pond, immediately contacted Shangguan Baihe.
This matter could be big or small; hearing that the beatings were severe, there was nothing she could do but contact the chairman.
Shangguan Baihe was furious when she heard about the incident, as the farm also belonged to her, and Long Xiaoshan was her cash cow. The fruits and vegetables that Long Xiaoshan had delivered last time, although purchased at prices far above market value, costing her over two million, had generated several times more profit when she flipped them.
Beyond that, her hotel's reputation had soared, and now even people from the city were flocking to dine on her hotel's vegetables and fruits.
The hotel's occupancy was frequently full, with revenues climbing steadily.
The farm had been poisoned, and Long Xiaoshan arrested at such a critical time, turning this mysterious Black Lily cold. However, she must now prioritize getting Long Xiaoshan out.
Shangguan Baihe took out a pink and very delicate Apple phone and dialed a number.
Upon answering, a cold yet beautiful voice said, "Shangguan Sister, calling me this late, huh?"
"My dear Captain Qin, I'm afraid I have to bother you with a matter. A little brother of mine has been taken by your lot, and I can only turn to your assistance now," giggled Shangguan Baihe.
"Don't tease me. I might not be captain for much longer," replied the voice with a hint of weariness.
"What's wrong? Haven't gotten over that tycoon's affair yet?" inquired Shangguan Baihe.
"It's nothing. Let's not talk about that. Tell me what's going on, who has been taken away?"
"It's like this..." Shangguan Baihe briefly recounted the situation, naturally leaning the story in Long Xiaoshan's favor.
"Okay, I'll find out more about the situation first. If it's true, then of course there's no problem; he will be released," said the other voice.
"My dear, I'll be troubling you then," Shangguan Baihe hung up the call.
She knew her friend was cool on the outside but warm on the inside. Since she had said so, she would definitely help.
(The earlier parts were slightly altered, and the name of the cultivation technique has been changed to "The Art of Immortality" to better suit the context, without affecting the plot).
