A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

The sound was very loud.

Everyone who heard the sound looked in the direction of it.

Two more uniformed police officers walked over.

"Hmm? Captain Zhang!"

Liu Shun, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized one of the policemen as his superior, Captain Zhang.

"Captain Zhang, what brings you here?" Liu Shun immediately jogged over and asked Captain Zhang.

"What are you doing here?" Captain Zhang looked at Liu Shun, also a little confused as to why Liu Shun was here.

Liu Shun pointed to the stall owner, Gu Huaiyuan, and others, saying, "I received a report that someone is selling agricultural products with a lot of pesticides added, and that some people have been poisoned after eating them."

Liu Shun recounted the information he had just obtained to Team Leader Zhang.

"Captain Zhang, I've basically taken care of things here. How about I take these people to the station first? I won't bother you any longer."

As Liu Shun spoke, he prepared to lead the stall owner away first.

However, just as Liu Shun turned to leave...

The team leader immediately put his arm around his shoulder: "Wait!"

"Huh?" Liu Shun paused, startled. "What's wrong, Captain Zhang?"

"Among the people you just mentioned, there's one named Gu Huaiyuan?" Captain Zhang asked.

“Yes!” Liu Shun pointed to Gu Huaiyuan and said, “This is Gu Huaiyuan. Do you need to see him?”

When Gu Huaiyuan saw Liu Shun pointing at him, he thought Liu Shun was telling Captain Zhang about his merits. In that instant, he even wondered if he could get a bonus for his testimony, which would be fantastic.

If that were the case, I would not only get Du Tianchuan's money, but also the police station's bonus—a double blessing!

Thinking this, Gu Huaiyuan waved excitedly at Liu Shun and Captain Zhang.

He was indicating that he was Zhang Huaiyuan, so that they wouldn't mistake him for someone else and give the money to the wrong person.

"You must be Gu Huaiyuan, right? Come here." Captain Zhang waved to Gu Huaiyuan.

Gu Huaiyuan was even more excited. Damn it, is he finally showing some ambition? The police captain is actually going to talk to him.

From where he stood to Zhang's side, it was only four or five steps, but in those four or five steps, Gu Huaiyuan felt like he was walking the red carpet in Cannes.

In his imagination, it seemed as if everyone's eyes were focused on him at that very moment.

"Officer, I am Gu Huaiyuan. I am really disappointed in these out-of-season vegetables and fresh wood ear mushrooms. That Hu Dahai is a complete scoundrel!"

"No one could do something so heinous. I never imagined that he would disregard everything for money and treat so many lives as a joke!"

"I didn't want to cause trouble, but since I saw it, I feel I have an absolute responsibility to tell the truth!"

Gu Huaiyuan spoke with great passion, as if he were giving an acceptance speech.

However, despite Gu Huaiyuan's lengthy explanation, Captain Zhang remained unfazed. He simply confirmed again, "You're Gu Huaiyuan? Gu Huaiyuan from the Qunyi Brigade? What do you do for a living?"

"That's right!" Gu Huaiyuan nodded seriously, thinking to himself that the police officers were really serious and responsible in their work, and were even worried about making a mistake.

He emphasized, "In our entire Qunyi Brigade, I'm the only one named Gu Huaiyuan. It's genuine, absolutely authentic! I run a poultry farm and raise chickens. If you need to buy chickens in the future, just look for me."

"Then there's no mistake." Captain Zhang nodded, gestured to the policeman next to him, and said, "Cuff him!"

Without saying a word, the policeman took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and snapped them onto Gu Huaiyuan's hands.

Gu Huaiyuan was completely dumbfounded.

"what's the situation?!"

He looked down at the gleaming silver handcuffs on his wrists, and his mind went completely blank.

Not only was Gu Huaiyuan's mind blank, but the people Du Tianchuan sent, the onlookers, and even the policeman Liu Shun were also dumbfounded.

"No..." Liu Shun's eyes widened as he looked at Captain Zhang and asked, "Captain Zhang, are you mistaken? If you're going to make arrests, you should arrest the stall owner. He's the one selling the problematic vegetables and wood ear mushrooms."

Du Tianchuan's men quickly chimed in, "Yes, officer, you must be mistaken. This Gu Huaiyuan is a good person. We're so grateful to him for telling the truth today."

"Good guy?"

Team Leader Zhang laughed out loud: "You actually say he's a good person?"

"Even you think he's a good person?" Captain Zhang looked at Liu Shun with some disbelief.

Liu Shun had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Nevertheless, he said truthfully, "Gu Huaiyuan didn't do anything wrong. In this matter, he even took the initiative to help us testify."

"Tch." Captain Zhang scoffed, "You actually believe what this kind of scoundrel who treats human life like dirt says?"

"Take human life lightly?"

Everyone was baffled by Captain Zhang's statement.

Liu Shun immediately felt uneasy. He thought that Gu Huaiyuan might have offended Captain Zhang unintentionally in the past, so now that Captain Zhang was going to deal with Gu Huaiyuan, wouldn't that mean that if he spoke up for Gu Huaiyuan, he would also incur Captain Zhang's displeasure?

"We received a tip from the public that there is an illegal workshop that specializes in collecting diseased or dead chickens and processing them into a lot of canned meat, sausages, and the like!"

"Following the clues, we successfully shut down the illegal workshop. According to the clues given by the people in the illegal workshop, there was a man named Gu Huaiyuan who ran a poultry farm in Qunyi Brigade. He sold all the chickens that died from fowl plague in his farm to them."

"It's the real Gu Huaiyuan, you're from Qunyi Brigade, and you also run a breeding farm. Tell me, is it you, Gu Huaiyuan, right or wrong?"

As soon as Captain Zhang finished speaking, Gu Huaiyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He never imagined it would be because of this.

But he clearly remembered that he had kept this very secret, and no one would have known.

Moreover, that illegal workshop has existed for so many years, so why would it run into problems at this particular juncture?

"No, no, it wasn't me!" Zhang Huaiyuan realized what was happening and immediately began to deny it: "It couldn't be me!"

He's not stupid; how could he admit to something like this?

However, he admitted it so readily just now, and even said it was genuine and absolutely authentic.

This naturally makes his current claim that it's not me seem so weak.

Not only did the people who heard it not believe it, but even Gu Huaiyuan himself began to doubt it as he spoke.

His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

Those who had just been criticizing Hu Dahai for being heartless now turned their anger towards Gu Huaiyuan.

"Pah! This guy just said Hu Dahai was a piece of trash, but I think he's the trash himself! A beast!"

"My kid loves canned meat. He says the meat in canned meat tastes better than what I cook. If he ever dares to eat canned meat again, I'll break his legs!"

"Now I'm starting to doubt Gu Huaiyuan's words. If someone like him dares to sell chicken meat from chickens that died of chicken plague, then he definitely can't tell the truth!"

"The key is that we can probably wash off some pesticides, but if we eat chicken from diseased or dead chickens, then we've really ingested them!"

"To be honest, I don't believe he ever saw Hu Dahai spraying pesticides either; he might have made it up."

It's clear that, in everyone's eyes, what Gu Huaiyuan did was far more egregious than what Hu Dahai did. Public opinion has begun to subtly shift.
