Chapter 351: Chapter 71: Someone from the County Bureau Comes (Happy New Year on the First Day of the Lunar Year!)_1

Before sunrise, Dang Wenzheng from the local police precinct rushed to the cattle farm, glaring at Yan Fei with his exhausted, rabbit-like red eyes. He said, "We’ve identified the individual - he’s a procurement manager at the Meat Processing Factory, the same person backstopping the group you fought yesterday. Your uncle asked me to let you know that now that this man has been apprehended, there won’t be further trouble. You can focus on farming and your studies."

Yan Fei asked, "Is there anything more you need from me? I was planning to visit my wife these couple of days; would that be okay?"

Dang Wenzheng responded hesitantly, "Don’t even think about leaving; stay home! Your uncle asked you not to wander around for a couple of days. This case may have to be handed over to the county, as it involves firearms. An inquiry into the origin of the firearms is necessary."

Without fearing to leak some information to Yan Fei, he continued: "Early this morning, the man woke up all confused trying to overturn the charges. He claimed that he was drunk and had no idea what had happened. He even refused to acknowledge what he said last night."

"He is still in denial that the gun was his. He admitted to embezzling a good amount of money under his role at the Meat Processing Factory, but claimed that being rich doesn’t necessarily mean he could get a gun! We recorded this statement as well. Not only will he likely be tied to the firearm offense, it’s expected that the county bureau will further investigate his embezzlements. Don’t worry. This case is a lock. His spot in jail has already been reserved."

Yan Fei nodded, "Alright! Since I’ll be home these days, I might as well take the opportunity to buy more cattle."

He was about to invite Dang Wenzheng to stay for a meal when the latter hastily left, "Given the severity of the case, I should get back and wait for instructions! I can grab some steamed buns on the way. Remember, don’t rush off to see your wife! Once you’re gone and something else comes up, where would we find you?"

Before leaving, he muttered, "Always talking about his wife at such a young age, won’t be surprised if he gets tracheitis in the future..."

Watching him leave, Yan Fei looked out at the deserted street, murmuring to himself, "Well, the plan worked, but it’s not entirely aboveboard, is it?"

Then he returned home and cooked a large pot of poached eggs. He woke Heizi, still frazzled from sleep, and told him to eat quickly. They would go together to Cattle Market to buy cattle.

There were still several others sleeping disorderly in the house. When Yan Fei and Heizi finished eating and were about to leave, they woke one of them and told him about the poached eggs in the pot. They left the drunken guys to continue their sound sleep.

The process of buying cattle at the market near their house was made easier with Heizi’s ’insider’ help. In addition, Yan Fei had already gained some reputation in the Cattle Market and was generous when negotiating. He hardly haggled about a price difference of 100 or 200 Yuan, allowing them to select any cattle they desired from the entire market.

They were unexpectedly called back to the precinct before they could finish buying two cattle by Dang Wenzheng, who had hurried over. As a result, they had no choice but to entrust Heizi with the matter - asking him not to purchase immediately but to set aside any suitable cattle until they could return to talk about price.

The county bureau was on its way, seeking to transfer the prisoner. Dang Wenzheng came looking for Yan Fei and Heizi, as the representatives of the involved parties, to restate some basic details - there are no small matters when firearms are involved.

With Director Lin present and both Yan Fei and Heizi being seen as victims, there wasn’t much that they needed to add, largely repeating the points they had made previously. The police officers were friendly and dealt with the matter swiftly.

When the questioning was over, the two police officers remained for a while. Since there were other colleagues questioning the suspect, they had some downtime to chat a little.

They seemed particularly interested in Yan Fei’s background.

A Kung Fu expert at such a young age, Yan Fei had helped in catching cattle thieves last year, and this time he singlehandedly took down a heavily armed criminal with one brick. He was also a leading figure in wealth creation, employing several workers at his cattle farm.

Especially since Heizi was quick to say good things about Yan Fei; that he employed a mute man and a disabled veteran, and provided assistance to an orphaned student and so on.

Yan Fei didn’t have time to stop him from saying all this.

Then, the two police officers didn’t seem to want to let Yan Fei go.

One older officer directly criticized Director Lin, "Director Lin, talents like Boss Yan should be promoted without showing favoritism, even if he is your nephew. With our police force currently understaffed, how can you let such an outstanding talent be on his own? Just look at this young man’s consciousness. Even if he is currently running a cattle farm, you could consider applying for him to serve in our precinct as an auxiliary police officer! He wouldn’t need to come to the station usually. For any major cases, wouldn’t he be a great asset? This would also save you from complaining about staff shortage!"

Yan Fei was instantly floored by this, emphatically dissenting and using his age as a reason to decline, and almost revealed the fact that he was disabled.

He joked that, even if he could get hired and put on a police uniform, the thought of working under Director Lin was enough for him to swear off the idea entirely.

Even as he was leaving, the officer from the county still encouraged him to consider this. After all, this wouldn’t be an official position; with special handling of special matters, age wouldn’t be an issue!

Meanwhile, Heizi, listening on the side, had red eyes. The idea of having a title at the precinct, even if it wasn’t official, seemed very prestigious. Why wouldn’t Yan Fei accept? How could he not accept?

When the two left the precinct to rush back to the Cattle Market, Heizi started rambling about how Yan Fei didn’t grasp this opportunity. He continued to criticize Yan Fei, pounding his chest, cursing himself for not taking the position.

After this event, Yan Fei temporarily gave up the idea of buying cattle at the county town - he decided not to risk going until this case was settled. Yan Fei and Heizi attended the Cattle Market at Sancha River town regularly, treating it as their second home, stepping on cow and horse dung day and night, and not letting go of any cattle that they liked.

With this determination, they bought ten calves and eight fattened cows within a week.

The reason it took so long was that there were more cattle available on market days, and fewer on other days.

It was good that they didn’t buy everything at once, as such a show of extravagance might have scared off some people. Even so, rumors spread around the small town that Yan Fei’s cattle farm was making big money.

Even more sensational was a rumor that attributed the gun attack to Yan Fei’s prosperity. The rumor held that Yan Fei’s cattle farm had sold cattle at a high price in the county town and had made a fortune, provoking jealousy from the town residents that they brought a gun to rob the cattle farm.

Unfortunately for the robbers, they were too feeble, and Boss Yan was too powerful. Yan Fei knocked out the person carrying the gun with a single brick. Truly worthy of being a cattle farm owner, so impressive. In one word: incredible!
