Chapter 46 Catch them all in one swoop
Pushing open the door, Zhang Yang, Cheng Tie, Li Er, and Zhao Wu were sitting around a table with a missing leg, waiting for him with tense expressions.
"So? Did you get the money?" Zhang Yang asked impatiently.
Tsui Hark shook the cloth bag in his hand and said with a smug smile, "Of course, two hundred thousand, not a penny less!"
"Haha, we're rich! We're rich!" the four cheered.
Just then, several police officers broke down the door and pinned the four people to the ground.
"Police! Don't move!"
"what!"
Before the four could react, they were handcuffed.
From the ambush to the arrest, the entire process was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.
Afterwards, Jiang Yang handed the heavy cloth bag back to Yang Fen: "Manager Yang, your 200,000 yuan is yours, not a penny less."
Yang Fen was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You got the money back? This... about the contract..."
“The contract issue has been resolved,” Jiang Yang smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, Manager Yang. I owe you a lot this time, otherwise I would have been in a real predicament.”
Yang Fen was relieved and looked at Jiang Yang with admiration in her eyes.
This young man is truly remarkable!
Jiang Yang bid farewell to Yang Fen and headed straight for the county public security bureau.
Pushing open the door to the interrogation room, Tsui Hark and his three accomplices sat there dejectedly.
Upon seeing Jiang Yang enter, Xu Ke abruptly raised his head, a flash of resentment in his eyes.
Jiang Yang ignored him and instead explained the whole story and all the evidence to the police officers in detail.
With conclusive witness testimony and physical evidence, Tsui Hark and the other three were quickly convicted.
According to the police, Tsui Hark attempted to resist arrest but was subdued on the spot.
His three accomplices were terrified and surrendered without resistance.
The police found the 200,000 yuan in cash and a forged contract on Tsui Hark.
The 20,000 yuan that Jiang Dashan and Lin Xiulan had been cheated out of was quickly recovered.
Jiang Yang suddenly felt very tired and just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.
Seeing that things had reached a point of no return, Li Er and Zhao Wu hurriedly pleaded with Jiang Yang for mercy.
"Jiang Yang, we're all from the same village, please be merciful and let us go!" Li Er cried, his face contorted with grief.
"We were just confused for a moment, we'll never do it again!"
"Jiang Yang, we have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, please have mercy on us!" Zhao Wu pleaded as well.
Jiang Yang looked at them coldly, his tone completely calm: "When you slandered me and lied to my parents, you should have known this would happen. Now you know to beg for mercy? Too late!"
The words "he only has himself to blame" echoed repeatedly in Jiang Yang's mind.
In this era, interpersonal relationships are complex, and many things are not simply black and white.
However, there are some bottom lines that must never be crossed.
He approached Emily and asked her to help write an article about the incident, to be published in both Chinese and English, in order to set the record straight.
Emily readily agreed.
Soon, an article explaining the whole story in detail appeared in the county newspaper and some foreign publications.
The clothing store's business quickly returned to its former bustling state.
The newly purchased house has been renovated, and Jiang Dashan, Lin Xiulan, and Jiang Yan have all moved to the county town.
The family was finally reunited, enjoying a hard-won peaceful life in their spacious and bright new home.
That day, Jiang Yang was busy in the clothing store as usual.
A postman rode his bicycle and stopped in front of the store.
"Jiang Yang, here's your acceptance letter!"
Jiang Yang took the thin envelope, his heart skipped a beat.
Yenching University.
Jiang Yang felt the envelope in his hand was burning hot, and his heart was pounding.
Pulling out the admission notice, the bright red seal and the gold-embossed words "Yanjing University" made him feel somewhat dazed for a moment.
I actually passed the exam.
Although he had always been very confident, he couldn't help but get excited when the moment actually arrived.
Yenching University!
Li Wen's surprised voice suddenly rang in his ears.
She snatched the notice, looked at it repeatedly, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Jiang Yang, you're amazing! I knew you'd pass the exam!"
She excitedly hugged Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang hugged her back tightly.
Several customers who were selecting clothes in the store also witnessed this scene and congratulated Jiang Yang.
"Young man, you've really made something of yourself! You got into Yenching University!"
Congratulations! You're going to be a college student now!
"What a glorious achievement for our ancestors!"
Jiang Yang responded to each question with a smile, his face beaming with happiness.
Li Wen let go of Jiang Yang, holding the admission notice, and said excitedly, "I have to tell Emily and Yang Fen this good news right away! They will definitely be happy for you too!"
After saying that, she ran out like a gust of wind.
Jiang Yang watched her departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
After dealing with the last few customers in the store, Jiang Yang closed the door and hung the "Temporarily Closed" sign on the door.
He clutched the admission notice tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, and started running.
A cool evening breeze brushed against his cheeks, and the plane trees along the road rustled.
As he ran, he shouted, "I got into Yenching University! I got into Yenching University!"
Pedestrians on the street turned their heads to look, some casting curious glances, while others responded with smiles.
Jiang Yang knew he would definitely pass the exam, but he just wanted to shout it out and let everyone know!
He wants to share this joy with everyone!
This is not only his personal honor, but also the pride of his whole family!
When Jiang Yang reached his doorstep, he was already panting heavily, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
He pushed open the courtyard gate and shouted, "Dad! Mom! I'm home!"
Jiang Dashan and Lin Xiulan heard their son's voice and quickly came out of the house to greet him.
"Yangyang, you're back? Why are you so late today?" Lin Xiulan asked with concern.
Jiang Yang waved the admission notice in his hand and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I got into university! Yenching University!"
Jiang Dashan and Lin Xiulan were stunned, staring in disbelief at the notice in their son's hand.
The next second, tears welled up in Lin Xiulan's eyes. She hugged Jiang Yang tightly and choked out, "Yangyang, my good son! You've really made us proud!"
Jiang Dashan's eyes also reddened, and his lips trembled as he said, "Our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! Our Jiang family has finally produced a college student!"
The elderly couple hugged their son tightly, weeping with joy.
After a long pause, Lin Xiulan wiped away her tears and choked out, "Dashan, we have to go back to the village and tell everyone this good news! We have to make a big fuss about it, hold a graduation banquet, and invite everyone in the village!"
Jiang Dashan nodded vigorously, "Yes! Yes! We have to go back! This is a momentous occasion that will bring honor to our ancestors! Our Jiang family has finally produced a college graduate!"
"Dad, Mom, you're right, we'll do it your way!"
