After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

“That’s not how it is,” Chen Ming said calmly, glancing at Zhao Rou before turning to the patrol team members. “Please allow me to explain.”

The patrolman nodded, signaling him to continue.

Chen Ming sighed and began to recount what had happened: "I was resting at home tonight when I suddenly heard a strange noise outside, so I went out to check. When I got to the fishpond, I found Yu Chuang and his friends there with ill intentions. He turned his head and startled me, and I accidentally dropped the candle in my hand."

The patrol members looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

"You...you're lying! You deliberately set off firecrackers to blow me up!"

Yu Chuang was also somewhat exasperated at this point. He tried to explain, but his voice sounded weak due to the pain and panic.

"Did you bring these firecrackers? Is that alright?"

Chen Ming suddenly interrupted him and asked.

Seeing that Yu Chuang acquiesced, Chen Ming continued, "According to the Public Security Administration Law, anyone who carries dangerous items and causes a threat to public safety shall bear full responsibility. I did not attack anyone. It was Yu Chuang and his group who brought firecrackers to my fishpond with unclear intentions. When I appeared, they panicked, the firecrackers were lit, and this series of accidents occurred."

Upon hearing this, the patrol team members became serious. They had already conducted a preliminary observation of the scene and verified Chen Ming's statement.

"Yu Chuang, is there anything you want to say?" The patrolman turned to Yu Chuang and asked.

Yu Chuang was pale. He tried to explain, but he had obviously lost his previous momentum: "I... I just wanted to scare Chen Ming. I didn't mean to really blow up the fishpond."

The patrol team members were skeptical of Yu Chuang's words. However, the other henchmen were also brought back by the patrol team members one after another, and it was found that their statements did not match Yu Chuang's account.

"You lot, tell the truth, don't lie," the patrolman warned sternly.

Under questioning from the patrol team, the henchmen finally revealed the truth, admitting that Yu Chuang had planned the operation to retaliate against Chen Ming.

Although his retaliation was unsuccessful, his actions involved endangering public safety and illegally carrying dangerous items.

After hearing Chen Ming's words, the patrol team members were surprised that this young man, who looked quite young, was so calm and logical, and even recited the public security management rules in an orderly manner.

"This……"

Upon realizing his actions were illegal, Yu Chuang turned pale. He tried to explain, but had clearly lost his previous bravado: "I... I just wanted to scare Chen Ming..."

"Scare me? Do you know how much the fish in my pond are worth? How much is your threat worth?" Chen Ming's voice carried a hint of threat.

The patrol members looked at Chen Ming, then at Yu Chuang, and they knew that this was no longer a simple misunderstanding.

Yu Chuang's face turned even paler. He tried to struggle, but the injury to his leg prevented him from moving.

"At worst, I'll just give you some money in return."

"Pay back?" Chen Ming sneered. "Do you think this is a problem that can be solved with money?"

Seeing this, the patrol members quickly mediated: "I see that you are all quite young, and it may have been a moment of impulse. Yu Chuang, you did make a mistake, but Chen Ming, don't be too harsh. Let's handle it privately. After all, you are all classmates from the same school."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rou quickly nodded in agreement: "The patrol uncle is right, let's just forget about it."

However, Chen Ming shook his head: "This matter cannot be left like this. Yu Chuang's behavior has violated civil law, and he must be held accountable for his actions. This is not child's play."

Seeing Chen Ming's resolute attitude, the patrol team members felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but his words were watertight, after all, Yu Chuang was in the wrong.

"Chen Ming, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? Yu Chuang and I are classmates, after all. Even if you don't care about our friendship, please let him off this time for my sake."

Seeing that Chen Ming was unmoved by reason, Zhao Rou tried to persuade him.

"Hehe, for your sake, I'm even less likely to let him off the hook. Uncles of the patrol team, there's no need to say more about this. I won't accept mediation. Let's handle it however we see fit."

Chen Ming's every move was unlike that of a high school student, and the patrol captain had no choice but to give up.

However, before that, we still need to take Yu Chuang to the hospital.

Just as the patrol team was about to return with Yu Chuang, the patrol leader suddenly noticed the commotion in the fishpond.

"The fish in your pond are quite active. The weather has been getting colder lately, how come they're still so lively?"

Chen Ming smiled slightly and replied, "The fish in this pond are all carefully selected varieties. They are highly resistant to cold and can remain active even in this kind of weather."

The patrol captain nodded, and upon learning that the fishpond was actually managed by the young man in front of him, he secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"However, you also need to pay attention to the management of your fishpond, so that something like tonight doesn't happen again."

Chen Ming nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will strengthen management to prevent any more people with ill intentions from causing trouble."

Upon hearing Chen Ming's words, Zhao Rou secretly hardened her heart.

Originally, she planned to bring Yu Chuang over to get revenge on Chen Ming for her, but now she has lost both her wife and her army.

Chen Ming...you just wait...

After the patrol team left with Yu Chuang, Chen Ming stood alone by the fishpond, gazing at the shimmering water, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He hadn't originally intended to make such a big deal out of it, but with these kinds of things happening one after another these days, making Yu Chuang the one to take the lead was a good choice.

This will also let everyone else in the village know that the Chen family is not to be trifled with, serving as a warning to others.

He turned and went back inside, already having made up his mind.

Meanwhile, after settling Yu Chuang in the hospital, the patrol team left two members there to watch over him before returning to the town.

The patrol captain hadn't even had a sip of hot water when he heard sighs coming from outside the door.

"Director Chen, why are you sighing like that? Is something the matter?"

Upon seeing this, the patrol captain went outside and discovered it was Director Chen from the Agricultural Trade Bureau. He quickly asked what was wrong.

"Sigh, the weather has suddenly turned cold recently, which has affected the crops in our town. The whole market is in complete chaos now," Director Chen said with concern.

"Yes, this sudden drop in temperature is indeed a bit tricky for our small place," the patrol captain agreed.

"Especially the fish market, which has been experiencing supply shortages since last week, is now facing a real problem."
