Shen Yao hung up the phone and immediately called Mo Xuan, who had been hiding in her room.
"Mother, what do you need me for? I haven't caused any trouble these past two days!" Mo Xuan said with a solemn promise, fearing Shen Yao was settling old scores.
Shen Yao: ...
She glanced at Mo Xuan. "Zhao Tie Zhu, go find that group of people for me now."
Mo Xuan: "Okay, Mother. Also, can you stop calling me Zhao Tie Zhu?"
Mo Xuan was humble and truly suffered.
"Alright, Zhao Tie Zhu, hurry up and go, Zhao Tie Zhu. If you're late, I'll break your legs, Zhao Tie Zhu." Shen Yao smiled.
Zhao Mo Tie Xuan Zhu: "I'm going right now!"
With that, he immediately scurried away, fearing that any delay would result in Shen Yao beating him.
Shen Yao ignored Zhao Tie Zhu and instead went to find the group of people next door. Although she didn't know who sent them, she at least knew they were on her side now. Upon hearing that Shen Yao wanted their help, they agreed without a second thought. Their employer had asked them to protect the Shen family, but they had been ineffective all day, and the money felt like hot coals in their hands!
With Mo Xuan, Shen Yao quickly led her group to find a group of people who had already left the hospital and were preparing to leave Pu He County by car. Mo Xuan and A Wei blocked the car of those big men, scaring the driver into abandoning the vehicle and fleeing. These people looked tall and strong, clearly not good people. It was all his fault for being greedy for that small amount of money!
Because their group was too conspicuous, and the injured men were desperately resisting, they instantly became the center of attention. The onlookers gathered at a distance, mistaking their fierce fight for filming and continuously taking videos with their phones. With Mo Xuan and A Wei's help, Shen Yao quickly subdued the big men.
Just then, police sirens suddenly sounded, and police cars one after another stopped nearby. Why were they stopped? Because Shen Yao and her group had intercepted them on the road, blocking the entire section. It turned out that someone had called the police when they saw them fighting. When the police got out and saw Shen Yao and her group, the initially stern-faced officer's attitude immediately softened.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Shen from the Shen Family Farmhouse?" the older policeman asked, still a little unsure, as the person before him was indeed much more beautiful than her photo.
"Yes, are you here to arrest them too?" Shen Yao was referring to the burly men being held down by A Wei and his companions.
"Yes, our superiors specifically ordered us to apprehend them. We didn't expect Miss Shen to beat us to it, which actually made things more convenient for us," the officer said, then instructed his officers to handcuff the men.
When the big men saw the police arrive, they thought they would be helped, only to realize they were there to arrest them. They immediately began to struggle. "What are you doing? We are good people! You're handcuffing us without distinguishing right from wrong. We're going to sue you!"
"Yes, you're colluding with these street thugs to bully honest citizens! I'm going to report you!" The men shouted, even threatening to find lawyers.
The older policeman looked at them with a furious expression. "Don't you know what you've done? You want to report me? Fine, this is my badge number, please remember it."
The big men remained defiant. "What have we done? We haven't done anything. We just stayed at their farmhouse for two days and paid them. How can they still chase us? I say, they shouldn't open a farmhouse, they should open a bandit's den!" The leader was quite articulate and felt emboldened. They hadn't done anything wrong. As for the soil they had dug, they didn't take it seriously at all. Since when was digging soil illegal?
The onlookers who had gathered to watch, looking like they were enjoying the show, cast strange glances at Shen Yao and her group after hearing the leader's words. The farmhouse famous in their Pu He County belonged to this young girl? As expected of rich people, otherwise, how could they raise such a beautiful girl? It seemed that the farmhouse wasn't that good either. The guests had left, yet they were still chasing them. It was a bit excessive.
"Just shut up. Not only are we not letting you go, but we are also here to arrest you under orders from our superiors!" the officer said, then took out an arrest warrant from his pocket.
The big men stared at the arrest warrant in the officer's hand, their eyes wide with shock, utterly disbelieving it. However, they couldn't claim it was fake, as all the official seals were in order.
"What have we done that we need to be arrested!" the man with the tattooed arm immediately became displeased. They had just accepted a job, and they hadn't even done anything yet, so why were they being arrested?
"What else have you done? You know very well what you did last night. Please come back to the police station with us. You can find a lawyer if you have any grievances." After speaking, the officer no longer wasted time with them and had them escorted into the vehicles.
"Miss Shen, please come to the police station to give your statement," the officer said to Shen Yao and her group.
Shen Yao nodded, then followed them to the police station in their car. At the police station, after hearing the conversation between the police and Shen Yao's group, they finally learned that the soil and water they had dug were no trivial matters! Not only were the big men bewildered, but even some of the police officers and A Wei felt like they were listening to a fairy tale. A Wei felt fortunate that he had given the soil and water to Shen Yao that morning, otherwise, he might have been implicated. The so-called statements were just a formality. After a tour of the police station, Shen Yao took her group home.
Because of this incident, Shen Yao and A Wei's group truly got to know each other, and the Shen family treated them even better, frequently sending them food. Xiao Jun couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Zhao Tie Zhu, why are Sister Immortal's parents so good to those big guys? Those little cookies should have been mine," Xiao Jun said enviously, watching A Wei and the others eating the small cookies. Shen family's meals were delicious, and their cookies were even more so. He was practically drooling.
"You sickly weakling, try calling me Zhao Tie Zhu again and I'll kill you! And those little cookies should have been mine," Mo Xuan yelled angrily at Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun, looking unfazed, paid no attention to the furious Mo Xuan. Heh, he's just a paper tiger. Sister Immortal could scare him to death with just a glance.
