17: Chapter 17 How to Prove
“Thank him?
Hmph!
I’ll give him a proper ‘thank you’ today!” Baldy Factory Director Wang gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he spoke.
Director Liu saw his grimacing face, sweat pouring down, and hearing his words, sensed sothing was off, and asked, “What happened?”
The surrounding people naturally kept silent.
Wang Baishan, being soone who cared greatly about his reputation, couldn’t possibly tell others that he was hurt by a re kid.
He wiped the sweat from his face and said to Director Liu, “What happened?
What could possibly happen?
Just giving this young man a proper ‘thank you’!”
Despite his arrogance, Baldy Factory Director had so wisdom and wouldn’t make a scene in front of the police.
Moreover, the butchers around him were clearly too frightened to do anything.
Just as he was about to make a call for help, he suddenly spotted two bloody knives on the side table, and a sche ford in his mind.
Baldy Factory Director Wang Baishan, smiling, said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Young man, thank you for helping us kill the mad cow!
If it had hurt soone, it would have been terrible!
You are a great benefactor to our factory!”
What the hell does this an?
His face turns faster than flipping a book!
Wu Xiaoyu was at a loss for words, and the butchers around him were also baffled.
At that mont, Baldy Factory Director picked up the two sharp knives from the table and suddenly said, “But, you shouldn’t be carrying dangerous weapons with you!
What if these two big knives hurt soone?”
Director Liu, hearing this, took the two knives from Baldy’s hand and said, “These clearly fall under regulated knives!
Did you bring these knives?”
Seeing the scene, Wu Xiaoyu was stunned.
Regulated knives?
I carried them?
The world is truly dangerous!
He hurriedly explained, “These two knives belong to the at vendor.
I just borrowed them to slaughter the cow!”
Before Director Liu could ask more, Baldy Factory Director stared nacingly at the at vendor.
Director Liu then asked the at vendor, “Do these two knives belong to you?”
The vendor had been selling at here for seven or eight years, all sourced from the slaughterhouse, and understood Baldy Factory Director’s ways well.
Despite having so integrity, he dared not offend such a character, knowing it’s better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.
He hesitantly said, “I’m not sure!”
Wu Xiaoyu, hearing this, imdiately felt uneasy.
Indeed, Wang Baishan was a tyrant in Longhe Town, and the at vendor was too afraid of his authority to tell the truth.
Did this an he was dood today?
Director Liu sternly said, “You sell at here, and you don’t know if these knives are yours?”
The at vendor, trembling, said, “I sell at here, and I don’t keep count of how many knives I bring every day…
I really don’t know if these knives…
are mine!”
Baldy Factory Director, seeing his response, smugly smiled.
Although Director Liu doubted the vendor’s honesty, he had no choice but to ask the other butchers, “Did any of you see where these two knives ca from?”
The butchers, working in the slaughterhouse, didn’t dare to offend their factory director and kept their heads down in silence.
Director Liu had to dispatch so n to ask the nearby stall vendors and passersby, but everyone was too busy avoiding the mad cow to recall where the knives in the butcher’s hand ca from.
After questioning around, they found nothing.
Although Director Liu suspected Baldy Factory Director was framing the young man, evidence was necessary!
If Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t prove the knives weren’t his, he would likely be detained for a few days.
So he said, “How can you prove that these knives are mine?”
Hearing Wu Xiaoyu still refer to him as ‘Baldy,’ Wang Baishan grew even angrier, itching to beat him up and make him kneel in submission.
But with the police present, he had to restrain himself to avoid causing more trouble for his brother-in-law!
“How can you prove the knives aren’t yours?” Wang Baishan retorted furiously.
“How can you prove the knives are mine?”
“How can you prove the knives aren’t yours?”
“…”
Their back-and-forth argunt resembled children’s squabble.
The young director found himself at a loss.
He definitely didn’t want to wrong an innocent person, but neither did he dare offend such a villain.
As the two were locked in their dispute, a vigorous voice suddenly ca from the crowd, “I can prove that the knives aren’t his!”
Baldy Factory Director, enraged, cursed, “Who the hell is ddling?
Step forward!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a woman in her fifties erged from the crowd.
Baldy Factory Director was taken aback, recognizing her as none other than the Mayor’s Wife of Longhe Town.
Baldy Factory Director quickly changed his deanor, lightly slapped his own mouth, and said with a smile, “It’s Sister Ma!
My foul mouth really deserves a slap!”
“Indeed, it does!
And not just your mouth that needs a lesson!” Before the Mayor’s Wife could speak, the Mayor of Longhe Town, Ma Fangqi, also in his fifties, stepped out from the crowd.
Seeing the Mayor and his wife, Director Liu quickly stepped forward to explain the situation, believing they would ensure justice.
The Mayor’s Wife said to Director Liu, “I was on the scene when this young man killed the mad cow.
Without him, there could have been serious injuries.”
Baldy Factory Director imdiately followed up, “Yes!
Thanks to this young man, or else our factory would have faced huge losses.
But our country is governed by law, and rits can’t offset faults!
Even though he averted a crisis, carrying regulated knives is still illegal!
We must enforce the law, right, Director Liu?”
Thinking he could smooth things over, Baldy Factory Director found himself interrupted by the Mayor’s Wife, “I already said, I saw this young man take the knife from a pork vendor myself.”
“With so many people not noticing, could it be that you…
mistook it?” Baldy Factory Director restrained his smile, his tone turning stern.
Though he usually respected the Mayor, not out of fear but courtesy, he wasn’t intimidated by the Mayor if it ca to a confrontation.
