Chapter 149: 149 I demand that he be severely punished (Second Update)

Liao Xianghe and his group had scraped together a hundred or so yuan after much effort and, with a sheepish smile, presented it to Su Xiaofeng, their tone ingratiating, "Xiaofeng, we honestly didn’t come here to trouble you, it’s all a misunderstanding. As for the few flies in my pocket, I was just bored at home yesterday and caught them for fun. We only have this much on us, so maybe...."

Su Xiaofeng took the money from his hand as a matter of course – it was only right to compensate for damages, "Even if I wanted to let you pay less, Captain Hong wouldn’t agree, right? Besides, if you all act like this every time, deliberately causing trouble and then just leaving, can my factory still operate?"

The implicit message was that not a penny less than three hundred yuan would suffice.

Captain Hong listened to Su Xiaofeng’s words and found it quite interesting – the women who could get close to the boss indeed had some backbone.

"Captain Hong, you see..." Liao Xianghe looked at Captain Hong. They really hadn’t done anything terribly wrong, just made a scene at the door.

As for the price of chili peppers per pound, does it have to be as much as three hundred yuan to compensate?

"You came here causing trouble, affecting the normal production of the factory. Technically, I could take y’all back to the station for some proper education for a few days, to prevent further foolishness in the future and causing a scene at someone’s place," Captain Hong said with a stern face, giving off an unyielding vibe.

Liao Xianghe was at his wits’ end in an instant.

Where could he get three hundred yuan? Even if he sold himself, he wouldn’t be worth that much.

"This is the place. I injured my hand so you’ll take over my delivery task. Don’t worry, the wages are all yours, just help me drive the truck back," Ye Fei said, walking in side by side with Ye Cheng.

The line of people in the workshop turned their heads at the noise, all looking toward the door.

Captain Hong was not at all surprised by the boss’ arrival; to be honest, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Su Xiaofeng looked at the two men who appeared at the door; she certainly knew Ye Cheng, and the other she also recognized – wasn’t he a truck driver?

Ye Fei, as if he hadn’t seen Captain Hong and his party, walked up to Xiaofeng with a smile, stretching out his bandaged hand that was so thick it was unclear whether the injury was serious or not, and said apologetically, "Miss Su, I’m really sorry, my hand got hurt, the tendons and bones were injured, and it won’t heal in a day or two. In six days, I probably won’t be able to make the drive. Luckily, Ye—Cheng is also pretty good at driving, so he can take you there."

Su Xiaofeng frowned. Ye Cheng?

At the moment Ye Fei appeared, Liao Xianghe’s eyes fixed on him. How dare this troublemaker show up? How could he dare to show up?

Hadn’t his car been hit by this man, causing him to resort to stealing Ye Cheng’s truck and then getting bitten by Scorpion, and now falling into a state where he couldn’t even come up with three hundred yuan?

Clenching his fists, he resisted the urge to throw a punch, staring him down, thinking he would definitely follow the man later and demand compensation.

Damn it, he thought the guy wasn’t even in the local area and didn’t know where he had hidden, but it turned out he was right in the county, right under his nose.

"I often eat dumplings at his house, so I know him," Ye Cheng said indifferently, "You’re going to Provincial City?"

Xiaofeng nodded, not too concerned about whether they were familiar, "Yes, I need to deliver a shipment there. Can you drive a truck?"

"I’m pretty good; I happen to need to go to Provincial City to take care of some things," he replied.

Ye Fei despised his young master internally, what ’need to take care of some things in Provincial City,’ you simply want to go with her.

The journey to Provincial City was so long, alone with a woman, heh heh...

"Captain Hong." Liao Xianghe looked at Ye Fei, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the less he could hold himself back. He stepped forward and grabbed Ye Fei’s collar, dragging him in front of Captain Hong, "Captain Hong, I want to report a crime. This is the hit-and-run driver. After he hit my car last time, he vanished without a trace. Captain Hong, I demand severe punishment for him, and if that’s not possible, at least make him pay for the damage – a compact car costs at least thirty thousand."

Ye Fei let himself be grabbed, his tone calm and unruffled, "You’re ridiculous, you say I did it and that’s that? Who saw it? What evidence do you have? What if your eyes deceived you and you mistook someone who looks like me for me?"

Listening to his words, Liao Xianghe felt like coughing up blood. He was certain, he hadn’t mistaken anyone. The person who had hit his car and sped away last time was definitely the man in front of him.

"No, it was for sure you, definitely you."

With a light tone, Su Xiaofeng said, "Captain Hong, if it’s another case, please return to the station to deal with it. This is a factory, and we’re in production. Once you’ve compensated for my losses, please leave quickly. If you delay our work any more, it’ll be more than just three hundred."

Captain Hong snatched the man up with one hand and dragged him over to Su Xiaofeng, "Did you hear that? They’re trying to produce here. Stop changing the subject and compensate quickly, we’ve got other things to handle."

Liao Xianghe immediately deflated, "Captain Hong, I have no money. Can you give me a few days to come up with it?"

He had recently failed a task and even wrecked Big Brother’s car, so Big Brother didn’t give him any salary this month. Where would he get the money?

"Whether he has money is not up to us, it’s up to Miss Su to decide." In his view, the simplest and most effective way was not to pay compensation but to take him back for a few days of ’education’.

"You don’t have money and you still dare to make trouble?" Xiaofeng snorted coldly, "It’s only right that you pay for things you break. If you really can’t afford compensation, I’ll leave this matter to Captain Hong to handle."

Liao Xianghe always felt like someone was watching him. Whenever he met Ye Cheng’s gaze, he would think of those large, black, merciless eyes. Gritting his teeth, he was about to speak.

"If you don’t have money, you can stay and work in the factory. You can leave when you’ve worked enough to cover the compensation. Of course, if anything goes wrong in my factory during your stay, you will have to pay for that too. Captain Hong, what do you think?" Xiaofeng spoke before Liao Xianghe could open his mouth.

Money wasn’t the ultimate goal. When she wasn’t in the factory, these people were bound to cause trouble.

Upon hearing he wouldn’t have to touch his mother’s retirement fund, Liao Xianghe naturally agreed, "Fine, I’ll work. It’s not like I can’t."

Anyway, he had nothing better to do lately. He might as well get used to working in the factory, and if he could adapt, he would consider working there in the future.

After years of a delinquent lifestyle, he couldn’t see a future for himself. His mother seemed to have found out about his antics, and things couldn’t go on like this. He needed a proper job.

"All right, you can work out this matter among yourselves." Captain Hong checked the time and said to Su Xiaofeng, "Miss Su, if someone comes to cause trouble again, just call my office directly, and I’ll come as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he handed her a card, "Especially those who claim to be collecting protection money, I’d like to see how they go about it."

Su Xiaofeng truly felt that Captain Hong was an approachable and thoughtful officer, the best she had dealt with, "Thank you, it’s been a trouble for you to come here. I appreciate it."

Captain Hong nodded, didn’t say a word but glared at Ye grandfather, then looked at the few people behind Liao Xianghe, "So, he’s going to work here, do you guys also want to stay and work? Or do you prefer to come back with me for some tea?"

The respectful Liao gang members bowed and said, "Captain Hong, you really have a sense of humor. We haven’t broken any law, what tea would we sip? Now that my fifth brother is staying to cover the compensation, we’ll head back first."

It was Huo Wu who threw the fly, it had nothing to do with them.

As soon as they reached the door, they ran out and soon vanished without a trace.

Seeing the Liao gang ran off, Liu An dared not stay either and slipped away while no one was paying attention.

"I’ve got to go too, it’s almost mealtime, and the shop is about to get busy." Ye Fei glanced at Liao Xianghe and made a thumbs-down gesture, then left as light as a swallow.

Liao Xianghe glowered at his departing figure, wishing he could bore a hole with his stare. He was certain if Ye Fei hadn’t run away and had stayed in the county, ’Just you wait, I’ll find you.’

Seeing Xiaofeng keeping a troublemaker, Grandfather Su frowned, "Xiaofeng, why are you keeping him here? What if he contaminates the food again when no one is looking?"

In his eyes, delinquents were not good people, to say the least, with bad moral character.

"Dad, I have my reasons for keeping him here," Xiaofeng said, glancing at the chili sauce that had been contaminated by the fly and frowning slightly. She needed to find a place to dispose of it properly.

"If there’s nothing else, we’ll head back now." As soon as Ye Fei left, Captain Hong took his team and left the factory.

"What’s your name?" Su Xiaofeng suddenly asked Liao Xianghe.

Seeing Ye Cheng, Liao Xianghe would subconsciously think of Scorpion and, with a tingling scalp, answered, "Liao Xianghe."

"Since you’re working for me now, show some initiative. Go and bag up these contaminated products with Uncle Zhao and handle it."

Liao Xianghe: "—."

He wondered to himself, she seemed too comfortable bossing him around, wasn’t she afraid of him?

After all, he was Huo Wu, ranked fifth under Baldie’s command.

The factory workers felt sorry to see over a hundred pounds of chili sauce wasted like this.

"Director Su, all this chili sauce has to be thrown away now, but it’s only the top that got a little dirty. Surely the rest is okay if we just skim off the top part?" It was over a hundred pounds – the result of nearly a morning’s work – and seeing it wasted was truly heartbreaking.
