Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

Seeing that Shang Guohua looked very unwell, none of the others dared to step forward and ask him anything.

"Where is he? Where is he?" A bald man rushed over, grabbed Deputy Director Wang's hand, and asked.

Deputy Director Wang blinked so hard he almost went blind, but Director Li still didn't understand what he meant.

"Director, this is the battalion commander I was talking about," Deputy Director Wang said, pointing to Shang Guohua, who stood to the side with a dark expression.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, hello! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner!" The bald Director Li said, trying to shake hands with Shang Guohua.

But seeing Shang Guohua's murderous gaze, he silently withdrew his hand.

"Director, right? The people inside have behaved extremely badly, and they even have an accomplice. Both of them must be severely punished." Shang Guohua finished speaking and strode out.

After Shang Guohua finished speaking, he strode out.

The group was left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What happened?" Director Li asked.

"Chief, this is the person who had dinner with the suspect when we went to the Kaoshan Brigade to arrest him that day," Officer Liu said timidly, raising his hand.

"Alright, come to my office later and explain the whole story to me," Director Li said, pointing at Xiao Liu.

"Yes," Xiao Liu replied firmly.

Xiao Liu answered firmly and forcefully.

"What's going on with the people in here?" Director Liu asked, pointing to the sweating man in the interrogation room.

They even went inside.

"Director Liu, this is the person who bribed the public officials." Officer Liu recognized him.

"Come on, tell me the whole story first." With that, he took Xiao Liu back to the office.

In the office, Xiao Liu honestly and thoroughly explained the whole story.

"You, Wang Daju, how dare you protect a criminal suspect! I will personally oversee this matter," Director Li said angrily.

Director Li said angrily.

After Officer Liu finished speaking, he left, leaving Director Li to think of a solution.

I remembered what Xiao Liu had just said: that Battalion Commander Shang's face only turned ugly after he finished interrogating people.

He also personally went to interrogate them.

"Damn it, he's a real scoundrel. He actually came up with such a despicable trick to deal with a young girl," Director Liu muttered slowly as he emerged from the interrogation room.

As Shang Guohua walked out of the police station, he became increasingly angry and unknowingly ended up at the hospital.

He heard that Wang Mazi was staying in this hospital.

He had intended to go in and try his luck, but as soon as he entered, he ran into the old woman who had been yelling and cursing in the street that day.

The old lady was Wang Dama's mother, and he had been taking care of his son here for the past two days.

I just finished delivering food and have to rush back. I have to come back later to deliver food to my son.

Shang Guohua clearly saw that the old woman came out of a room not far from him.

He walked to the door of that room and looked around. When he didn't see anyone looking at him, he stuck his head out and peeked into the room.

There were only three beds in the room, and only one of them was occupied. If nothing unexpected happened, the person lying on that bed was Wang Mazi.

The thought that he and his brother-in-law had discussed getting Gao Jianguo imprisoned so that his brother-in-law could "enjoy" it first filled his sister with uncontrollable rage.

Seeing that there was only one person in the ward, he went in without closing the door.

Inside the room, Shang Guohua looked at the man with bruises on his face, picked up a smelly sock from the side of the bed, and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

The next 10 minutes became a lifelong shadow for Wang Mazi.

Ten minutes later, Shang Guohua came out of the room looking refreshed and rode his bicycle toward the brigade.

On the mountain,

Shang Yanfang and her team did not find any new mountain products today.

In the morning, they picked up the remaining chestnuts and took them home; in the afternoon, they gathered firewood.

"Gao Jianguo, let's go home. I'm too tired to work anymore," Shang Yanfang said coquettishly.

“Okay, let’s go home,” Gao Jianguo replied.

"Lingling, Zhaodi, Yanzi, we're going back now. Are you going back too?" Shang Yanfang asked the three of them.

"Let's go back too, we're too tired today." He Lingling also planned to go back.

"I'm going back too, I can't do it anymore," came Li Zhaodi's weak voice.

"I'll go back too," Liu Yan said coldly.

The group gathered all the firewood they had chopped on the ground and pulled it down the mountain.

"Gao Jianguo, you can take the firewood back this time. You don't need to deliver it to me." Shang Yanfang said in a cute but fierce tone.

"I already have enough firewood; your family should also stock up on firewood for the winter."

"Okay, okay, I'll take it back, alright?" Gao Jianguo said with a smile.

When the group returned to the village, they found it bustling with activity.

Shang Yanfang recalled what the brigade leader had inadvertently revealed during dinner at the brigade leader's house yesterday: personnel being sent down to the countryside.

I just wanted to squeeze in and see how the old man was doing.

She then said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Jianguo, I also want to go and see what happened. You stay here and watch the firewood."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, be careful not to get crowded." Gao Jianguo's drowning voice came over.

Shang Yanfang put down what she was holding and called her friends to go inside and watch the excitement.

The four of them walked to the front.

Shang Yanfang saw two elderly people dressed in coarse cloth clothes walking together, supporting each other.

They all had different kinds of injuries.

Suddenly, she sensed that Liu Yan, who was standing next to her, was acting strangely.

She turned her head and saw the little girl covering her mouth and trembling.

He Lingling also noticed something was wrong; this woman had never had such a strong emotional fluctuation since they met.

"What's wrong, Yanzi?" Shang Yanfang asked in a low voice.

“That…that’s my grandfather,” Liu Yan said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Come on, let's go back and talk about it." Shang Yanfang said, pulling on Liu Yan's arm as she tried to pull her back.

She was afraid that Liu Yan would lose control and rush forward.

That would be terrible; she'd probably be reinvestigated.

When He Lingling saw Shang Yanfang pulling Liu Yan, she also grabbed Liu Yan's other arm.

The two of them worked together to pull Liu Yan out of the crowd.

"Let's go first, we'll go to Gao Jian's house, it's closer to his," Shang Yanfang suggested.

Although Gao Jianguo didn't know what had happened, he knew that Shang Yanfang must have had her reasons for doing so.

Without saying a word, he pulled the firewood and followed the group home.

When the group arrived at the Gao family's house, Shang Yanfang treated them as if they were in her own home, bringing out stools and pouring tea for the two of them to sit down.

"What exactly happened?" Shang Yanfang asked.

“I know both of them. One is my grandfather, and the other is Grandpa Gao…”

It turns out that Liu Yan is a child from a wealthy family in Beijing. Because her mother studied abroad, this incident affected her family. She was assigned to go to the countryside ahead of schedule and has not contacted her family since.

Now I see that even my grandfather has been sent to the countryside.

The bad feeling in my heart grew stronger.

"I...I don't know how the rest of my family is doing!" Liu Yan said, crying with worry.

"Don't worry about that now. We'll go see your grandfather tonight, okay?" Shang Yanfang comforted her.

"I'm still very worried," Liu Yan said, still crying.

"There's no use crying now. You might as well go back and prepare some food or medicine."

"I just saw that they both have some injuries, more or less. You should go back and prepare some medicine for bruises and sprains," Shang Yanfang continued.

"Yes, that's true. I'll go back and prepare now." Liu Yan said, heading back to the educated youth settlement to prepare her things.

"Are you just going back like this?" Shang Yanfang asked.

"Is that not allowed?" Liu Yan asked doubtfully.

“You just cried. If you go out and run into some older women, they’ll all think you were ‘bullied’ by someone. What will you say then?” Shang Yanfang said, holding Liu Yan’s hand.
