Chapter 120: One hundred and two This thing is glorious!_1

It should be known that the case of Ma Huan had once caused no small amount of panic, and even after so much time had passed, the police had not taken the matter lightly nor relaxed their pursuit of Ma Huan.

In order to snatch someone’s gold earrings, he ended up tearing the ears to shreds.

And that’s not all, he had those intentions upon seeing the person, did this and that before and after.

(I’m not allowed to write it, you big brothers can imagine the rest.)

His actions were extremely vicious, and they had a very big impact on society, to the point where the victim’s parents appeared on the news, crying so miserably.

The person was found beside the channel.

After that, for a long time, people dared not walk by that channel alone.

To capture Ma Huan, every possible method was utilized.

But after all, surveillance was not comprehensive at that time, and there were many fake IDs.

Add to that, Ma Huan was very cunning; since that incident, he had hidden in the village and never stayed in one place for long.

Trying to catch a person was like looking for a needle in the ocean.

The police, out of options, could only offer a large reward for his capture in the newspaper.

This ordeal lasted for several years.

Not long ago, Superintendent Huang had specially called a meeting for this matter, ordering them not to slacken the pursuit of Ma Huan, but everyone was not very hopeful at heart.

After all, so many years had passed, they didn’t even know if Ma Huan was alive, let alone where to catch him.

Who knew that behind the clouds, the sun would shine again upon the village.

This ruthless and vicious criminal had actually been caught by Gu Chen because of theft.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to have two police officers bring the reward money and a pennant to Gu Chen’s house, after all, Gu Chen had eradicated a menace for the people.

The two police officers didn’t dare delay and visited Gu Chen’s house the next day.

To deliver the reward money and the pennant.

At this moment, all the onlookers, eager to understand the full story behind the reward money, were listening intently with bated breath!

They listened so earnestly.

When everyone learned that Gu Chen and his wife had actually captured a fugitive, all the people present were shocked.

They looked at each other, completely speechless.

It was too incredible, just like something out of a movie.

To have caught a fugitive!

In their village, they hadn’t even had a petty thief for so many years, let alone a murderer.

Hearing about these incidents, they always thought it was far from them, never expecting it to happen right by their side.

And yet, it was Gu Chen who had caught him!

This was a hero of the peaceful era!

Just the thought of going to the market during the festive season gave the villagers the chills.

Who knew if this murderer had made contact with them.

It’s not as if people had writing on their foreheads!

It was too dangerous!

Thank goodness, Gu Chen caught him, well done!

Shen Cuilan at this moment couldn’t mutter a single word, already imagining Gu Chen in action capturing the criminal.

Gu Chen, with a few punches and kicks, subduing the fugitive, while Ji Pianran cheering from the sidelines with a big crowd applauding in sync, and Xiao Tangtang loudly proclaiming "That’s my dad!"

The imagery was simply splendid.

Now she esteemed Gu Chen even more as an extraordinary talent.

Not to mention his cooking skills, but also his ability to earn money, and most importantly, his love for his wife and child, and now there was another feat.

That was, he could even catch fugitives!

He must know some martial arts, otherwise how could he apprehend such desperate and wicked criminals.

Impressive, truly impressive!

How come she never met such an outstanding man herself.

Aunt Zhang was also on the side, stunned by what she heard.

Goodness, this Gu Chen, he actually caught a fugitive without anyone knowing!

Impressive indeed!

The key point is that they hadn’t told anyone.

If this were someone else, they would definitely start bragging the moment they got back to the village, wishing they could make the news known across ten miles and eight villages.

After all, catching a thief is a remarkable feat!

"Chenzi, awesome!"

"Chenzi, well done!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

After all, every young boy has once dreamed of being a hero.

Unlike the gangsters that came later, their generation grew up with wuxia novels by Jin, Gu, Huang, and Wen, full of heroic chivalry and thrilling vendettas, which made them feel incredibly cool.

As children, they too had used sheets as capes, donned their fathers’ straw hats, and wielded brooms and mops as swords of valor.

Hearing this shout, everyone finally came to their senses.

They started to clap nonstop.

"Chenzi, you are our village’s pride!"

"Yeah, catching a fugitive is no small feat!"

"The most important part is the reward money, five thousand bucks, my God!"

Someone made this comment, which cracked everybody up.

Gu Chen was somewhat embarrassed by the praise.

He pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.

"It was an accident, just an accident..."

After all, he had no idea that man was a fugitive; had he known, he would have thought twice about it.

At the very least, he would have brought a knife, right?

Going in barehanded was way too dangerous.

Having been given a second chance at life, he really didn’t want to die.

Hearing him say this, the police officers were not too pleased.

"Hey, Comrade Gu Chen, you’re being too modest. To tell you the truth, there aren’t many young people like you nowadays."

After saying this, he looked around at everyone with a smile.

"Everyone should learn from Comrade Gu Chen. If we all had this spirit of fearlessness, our public security would only get better and better!"

"But remember, above all, you must protect yourself. If you encounter such a situation, make sure to call the police immediately! We are at the service of the people, and we will treat everyone’s problems as our own to resolve them with all our might!"

"Right, the police officer is speaking the truth!"

In those days, people’s respect for police officers was no less than that for village officials.

The applause rang out instantaneously.

The police waved their hands to signal the crowd to stop.

Then they handed over the silk banner and the five thousand yuan reward to Gu Chen.

...

After the police left, Aunt Zhang immediately squeezed into Gu Chen’s house’s yard with a look of nervous curiosity and barely contained excitement on her face.

"Chenzi, tell me, how did you catch him? That must have been so dangerous! Are you hurt?"

Seeing Aunt Zhang’s concerned expression, Gu Chen laughed nonchalantly.

"It’s nothing, Aunt Zhang. It was actually Pian Ran who caught him. Don’t be fooled by her slim frame; she’s fearless when it comes to a pinch. She knocked the guy out cold with a flowerpot—I was just picking up the pieces."

Seeing Gu Chen’s unserious demeanor,

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at him, but couldn’t help laughing.

"Do you think I’m so old I’ve gone senile? If Pian Ran was the one who caught him, that silk banner and the reward money would surely have gone to her. What does that have to do with you?"

It was obviously Gu Chen who had made the capture, yet he still didn’t forget to praise his wife.

It seemed that Chenzi had really changed; although he was still rash and bold, there was now a sense of humility and stability within him.

If it had been him in the past, he would probably have bragged all the way to the next village.

But now, whether he called it a coincidence or credited his wife’s efforts, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, with a casual and carefree air.

Gu Chen laughed, "Well, didn’t you hear what the officer said? Ma Huan was covered in dirt because it was really Pian Ran who hit him with the flowerpot. By the way, Auntie, come over for chicken tonight, I bought two big roosters."

Aunt Zhang had always been very caring towards his family, and Gu Chen was certainly not a stingy person.

Since he had bought extra today, it would be more lively to eat together with everyone!
