Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Meeting Acquaintances

"What exactly is going on?" Seeing a middle-aged man dressed in police uniform jogging over, Ji Yang asked in a deep voice.

"Report to Mayor Ji, I am Cheng Jun, the Chief of the Public Security Bureau. The situation I understand is that people from Mi Yu’s investment have abducted one of their women, and it’s because of that woman that the conflict arose." fre.eweb novel\.c om

Ji Yang examined Cheng Jun repeatedly and immediately sensed great fluctuations in his emotions.

Looking at this man who seemed unproblematic on the surface, Ji Yang started to piece together many things.

It appeared that the situation in this county was not as good as it looked on the surface.

If it had been earlier, Ji Yang might have planned more cautiously, but now he was confident in his own abilities and wouldn’t pass up the chance to rectify the situation.

Pulling out his phone, Ji Yang called the city Public Security Bureau immediately. free\we,bnovel.c o(m)

The current Chief of the City Public Security Bureau, Lei Zhongqian, was someone raised by Ji Yang and certainly belonged to Ji Yang’s faction. Seeing the complex situation here, assistance from the city would be necessary.

"Lei Zhongqian, bring a team to Xiashan County immediately, I need you guys here to handle some matters."

Upon hearing Ji Yang directly make a call to request personnel from the city bureau, Cheng Jun’s complexion turned ugly. He knew that Ji Yang didn’t trust them anymore, but under the current circumstances, there was nothing he could do.

Thinking about the situation here, Cheng Jun felt a chill in his limbs, knowing that trouble was likely about to unfold.

Ji Yang pinned Cheng Jun with his gaze for a moment without saying anything, then continued to stride forward.

"Mayor Ji, it’s too chaotic inside and not safe. Let us handle it first before you go in," Cheng Jun said through gritted teeth, still attempting to prevent Ji Yang from entering and then resolving the issue himself.

"Don’t worry."

Cheng Jun now found himself out of options.

"I paid for that woman, why do you want to take her away?" a voice came through.

Ji Yang immediately had some speculations in his heart, guessing that it might be that one of the women they had bought wanted to escape and was being chased, and Wu Mi and the others happened to have rescued her.

Sigh!

Ji Yang was always aware of the situation of buying brides in poor areas; it was more prevalent the more impoverished the place was.

Indeed, as Ji Yang and his group approached, the police were in a standoff with the villagers.

"I am Mayor Ji Yang. If anyone has any issues, we can sit down and talk. Gathering a crowd to cause a disturbance is against the law."

Ji Yang took a megaphone and shouted loudly through it.

Hearing that Ji Yang was the mayor, the villagers evidently became restless.

Wu Mi and others were also escorted to the front of Ji Yang.

As Ji Yang looked towards Wu Mi and the others, he was suddenly surprised to see a familiar face in the crowd.

Wei Wuyin!

Wei Wuyin used to work with Ji Yang in Qingyuan Village; she had shared an office with Ji Yang. However, after an incident, she was dismissed from public office, and since then, there had been no news of her. Unexpectedly, he saw her here.

"What happened?" Ji Yang asked looking at Wu Mi.

Wu Mi said, "When we arrived at this village for an inspection, this woman came running over, saying that she knew you, and that she was forced to come to this village."

The person Wu Mi referred to was Wei Wuyin.

"Ji Yang, I’m Wei Wuyin, save me, please!" Wei Wuyin couldn’t care less about the consequences and shouted loudly at Ji Yang.

The leaders from the county who followed Ji Yang changed their expressions when they heard this woman was acquainted with Ji Yang; they knew this wasn’t going to be easy to handle.

"I just bought that woman; you can’t take her away," a middle-aged man, somewhat ugly and limping on one leg, bellowed loudly.

Ji Yang then looked at the leaders from the county and said, "I didn’t expect that there were human trafficking issues here."

At that moment, the villagers started to show signs of unrest again.

Ji Yang once again spoke into the megaphone loudly, "All police, listen up! Anyone who causes trouble will be arrested."

There weren’t many villagers here, just over a hundred at most. They were just making noise and possibly all members of a single family trying to help each other. If the authorities showed any weakness at this time, it was hard to predict what might happen.

Ji Yang had experience with this sort of thing; a deterrent was necessary.

Some leaders opt for a conciliatory approach in handling such situations, but it depends on the circumstances. Under the current conditions, if they didn’t show a strong side, the situation would be difficult to manage.

Moreover, Ji Yang had a feeling that if he showed weakness, some schemers within the county might take advantage of it.

That human trafficking occurred in Xiashan County’s town and to say that those leaders were unaware was impossible. This was also a reason why Ji Yang immediately called the city bureau’s personnel; he truly didn’t trust the local leaders.

Of course, another leader might have prioritized their own safety and sought help away from the county first before addressing the matter, but Ji Yang was not afraid. Indeed, he was eager to see if anyone would dare cause trouble.

Fortunately, deterred by Ji Yang’s assertiveness, no one stepped forward.

After hearing Ji Yang’s words, the villagers also became subdued and no longer caused trouble.

"Take all the people to the county bureau. The village head and this villager, come along as well."
