Hearing the mockery and warning in Xiao Guodong's words, Qin Chuan naturally knew that Xiao Guodong was retaliating for his lack of deference at the police station that day.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan immediately shouted, "Everyone put away your gear!"
"Have no eyes at all!"
"Do you want to be invited to drink tea in the chilly room?"
As Qin Chuan's shout faded, everyone in the security team quickly put away their weapons and became very obedient.
As for Di Laoshu and his gang, their hearts grew cold, a chill piercing to the bone.
They finally knew who the newcomers were—their greatest natural enemy—the police!
And the county magistrate of Yongnan County had also arrived!
It's over, it's over!!
At that moment, similar thoughts surged through all of Di Laoshu's minds, their faces ashen, looking worse than if their parents had died.
However, as mere underlings, they were not dealt with for the time being. Under Qin Chuan's warm invitation, Ye Qingping, Wang Ping'an, Zhou Congrong, and Xiao Guodong were invited by Qin Chuan into the small house.
As soon as they entered, the four men saw Si Yan and Huo Lun still kneeling on the ground, their bodies limp.
Especially Huo Lun's blood-soaked, terrifying appearance, which truly startled them.
Fortunately, Ye Qingping and the other three had strong psychological resilience and were already prepared when they came. After a brief moment of surprise, they returned to normal.
"Boss Qin, you're getting more and more powerful now. You even dare to resort to private enforcement! Do you think this is ancient times?"
Xiao Guodong wouldn't miss any opportunity to reprimand Qin Chuan, his tone sarcastic.
"Captain Xiao, you're really wronged me this time!"
Qin Chuan cried out, "I really didn't lay a hand on them. They all voluntarily engaged in one-on-one fights with my subordinates and got beaten in the end!"
"If you don't believe me, ask them. Is that what really happened?"
Xiao Guodong turned his gaze to Si Yan and Huo Lun's faces, only to find them staring at him with astonishment and disbelief.
Their expressions clearly indicated that they recognized them.
Indeed, as Guo Guang's two most capable dogs, how could Si Yan and Huo Lun not recognize Xiao Guodong, Zhou Congrong, Ye Qingping, and Wang Ping'an?
As soon as the four entered the room, Si Yan and Huo Lun recognized them, their hearts churning, and a sense of foreboding completely enveloped their minds.
"Why are these four people appearing here at the same time?"
"Were they called by Qin Chuan?"
"This late at night, the county magistrate and the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and the captain appearing together, such a strong signal, does it portend that something terrible is about to happen?"
Just as Si Yan and Huo Lun were shocked, Wang Ping'an quietly whispered a few words into Ye Qingping's ear, seemingly introducing something.
Ye Qingping showed a look of realization, his eyes flickered towards Si Yan and Huo Lun, and then returned to Qin Chuan's face.
"County Magistrate Ye, Director Zhou, the reason I asked you to come tonight is entirely because I accidentally discovered something big!"
"This big matter is beyond my capabilities, so I can only ask you to come and take charge!"
Qin Chuan said.
Then, without any further delay, he briefly recounted the entire sequence of events that night. When they heard that the group outside were human traffickers, both Ye Qingping, Zhou Congrong, Wang Ping'an, and Xiao Guodong's eyes flashed.
When they finally heard that the Guo family was also involved in the crime of abducting women, the atmosphere in the small house suddenly became incredibly oppressive.
However, amidst this oppression, perceptive individuals could see that in the depths of Ye Qingping's and the other three's eyes, shimmering lights were emerging.
It was an extreme excitement, like a hunter discovering perfect prey.
If all of this were true, it would be a great achievement for any of them, greatly beneficial for their future careers.
"Si Yan and Huo Lun are Guo Guang's most capable subordinates. They can help testify to everything I've said!"
Qin Chuan added at the end.
In the small house, Si Yan and Huo Lun, who were kneeling on the ground, had already endured immense torment. They finally understood why Ye Qingping and Zhou Congrong and the other two had appeared there in the middle of the night—it was all about the case.
The Guo family is in complete danger!!
It's likely they will be arrested soon. Once their crimes are confirmed, the lightest sentence will be life imprisonment, or even the death penalty.
They only had one path forward: to cooperate with the police investigation as much as possible and become witnesses to reduce their own culpability.
"We are willing to help testify!"
After understanding the cause and effect of the situation, Si Yan and Huo Lun no longer hesitated and spoke out one after another.
No matter how powerful the Guo family was, they could not compare to the power of the government. The country was the greatest entity of all.
"Good! Very good!"
"Qin Chuan, for everything tonight, you've earned great merit!"
Ye Qingping's face broke into a smile. He exchanged a look with Zhou Congrong, and both saw a spark of telepathy in each other's eyes.
"It's all for serving the people!"
Qin Chuan smiled humbly, causing Xiao Guodong to roll his eyes fiercely.
Soon, Zhou Congrong personally made a call, mobilized police forces, and arrested everyone.
By the time the last police car left, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Despite being busy for most of the night, everyone was energetic and had no signs of sleepiness. This was because everything that had happened tonight was too exciting and incredibly satisfying.
In the latter half of the night, at a food stall in a night market in the county town, over a dozen burly men were sitting in a row around a long rectangular table. Piles of various grilled meats were in front of them, emitting a tempting aroma.
There were also boxes upon boxes of beer, creating a very lively atmosphere.
When Qin Chuan raised his glass and stood up, the previously cheerful and boisterous atmosphere immediately became extremely quiet.
"I'll toast you all!"
Qin Chuan said loudly, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Tonight, everyone is a great hero. I am proud to have brothers like you!"
"Tomorrow, I'll have the finance department give everyone a reward of two hundred yuan each as a bonus for tonight!"
"Now, what we need to do is eat well and drink well!"
"Come, cheers!!"
"Cheers!!"
As Qin Chuan's words fell, the atmosphere reached its climax. The burly men stood up, their faces flushed and their expressions excited.
The crisp sound of beer bottles clinking echoed far and wide, and everyone was eating with grease on their faces.
Some were playing finger-guessing games, while others were playing cockfighting.
Looking at the lively scene around him, Qin Chuan's mood was also very pleasant. If the Guo family truly began to fall starting tomorrow, it would be a great thing for him.
He could also get a share of the Guo family's businesses.
After all, the county town was too small, and the market was limited. The fall of the Guo family could feed many people.
Of course, he wouldn't touch casinos or loan sharking, but hotels, guesthouses, and clothing factories were businesses he wouldn't refuse.
"Big Brother, I apologize to you with this glass of wine!"
Suddenly, Qin Chuan poured a full glass of wine and said to Qin Yang, who was sitting beside him.
"My actions tonight were a bit excessive, forcing you to do something you didn't want to do."
"As brothers, this behavior is very inappropriate!"
Looking at Qin Chuan's sudden apology, Qin Yang looked restrained and anxious.
"Xiao Chuan, you..."
Qin Yang opened his mouth, but being honest and simple-minded, he was not good at communication and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Big Brother, Xiao Chuan is actually doing it for your own good. Among our three brothers, you are the kindest and most benevolent. Third Brother was also forced to do it, wanting you to change!"
Seeing this, Qin Er Ge quickly spoke up to help.
Qin Yang mumbled, "Of course I know! That's why I'm not angry at all!"
