Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Dust Settles
“`
The swarm of police left You Zhichao dumbfounded.
Zhu Fei hadn’t even had ti to tell everyone to put things away before he was pressed down on the table.
“Don’t move, soone has reported you for gathering to gamble, co with us to the station.”
The news that several people from the village had been arrested for gambling quickly spread throughout Daye Village.
Those whose families were not affected felt so relief, so were reflective.
...
But those with family mbers who had been taken away sought connections by every ans possible.
However, the police also said that the participants would have their gambling funds confiscated and be detained for a few days until after they had received education and were released.
Only the organizers of the gambling would be heavily punished.
You Zhichao and Zhu Fei couldn’t figure it out, they had clearly arranged for people to keep watch outside, but when it mattered most, those people turned out to be unreliable.
After the police had recorded the confessions and secured the evidence, they put all these people together.
“What’s going on with you guys?” You Zhichao looked at them with a grim face.
Those who were supposed to have co in to give a warning all wore a bitter look.
“Bro You, I… my stomach suddenly hurt.”
“I went ho to eat.”
“Soone I know greeted from a distance, so I went over to chat for a bit.”
Each person had this or that kind of excuse, coincidentally leaving You Zhichao and Zhu Fei speechless.
You Zhichao could only grind his teeth and say, “Don’t let find out who reported us, when I get out, I’ll kill him!”
They suspected many people, possibly those they had previously swindled, or even the envious villagers.
In the end, Zhu Fei concluded, “Maybe it’s that kid, Mao Hui.”
You Zhichao rembered Mao Hui’s resentful gaze as he was carried away and nodded, “Probably him, didn’t expect he actually had it in him.”
As for Yue Jiannan, they completely disregarded him.
If Yue Jiannan didn’t show up anymore, he would definitely be the first one they suspected.
However, Yue Jiannan kept acting like he was hooked, and when it all added up, he actually won quite a bit of money from them.
With a continuous winning streak, Yue Jiannan would have to be crazy to tip off the police.
Zhu Fei sighed, “That guy was called back ho to eat at the last minute, really hit the jackpot…”
Otherwise, he would surely be locked up like them right now.
After so ti, the participants were let go, the police also disclosed You Zhichao and Zhu Fei’s cheating tactics in the card gas.
Their illegal earnings were fully returned, and the fields of Mao Hui and others were also given back to them.
However, so of these people had a sudden realization, a sense of fear washing over them.
Yet others still felt it was only bad luck that they’d encountered cheating dealers, and they were still addicted to gambling, contemplating moving on to other villages.
Mao Hui was one of these people, and his ending was not a good one.
Two years later, You Zhichao was released from prison and wanted to find trouble with Mao Hui.
Only to discover the guy had secretly sold all his family’s assets and, taking the money, disappeared into so gambling scene, never to be heard from again.
His elderly parents had to be kicked out of their ho by creditors and start all over again.
From then on, they acted as if they had no such son, only often weeping in secret.
But all these were later stories; at least for now, Daye Village had returned to its forr tranquility.
Yue Jiannan was really scared this ti and did not dare to go out except to visit the fish pond for several days in a row.
Lin Chunju couldn’t stand to see him like this.
Sotis, when people are young, it is inevitable that they make mistakes, but it’s not worth becoming so timorous because of that.
One morning after breakfast, she called Yue Jiannan aside specifically.
“Third one, what are you planning to do?”
“Go to the fish pond,” Yue Jiannan assured again and again, “Mom, don’t worry, I definitely won’t go to those ssed-up places anymore.”
Lin Chunju nodded, “Mom believes you, but the fish pond is going to freeze over soon, and the fish inside won’t need you to feed them for now; you don’t always have to go over there.”
Yue Jiannan looked down at his toes and said nothing.
He knew, of course, that the fish pond didn’t need tending now, but other than that there was nowhere else he wanted to go.
He didn’t really like hanging out with his previous buddies anymore, always worried that they might betray him.
Lin Chunju patted her son’s back, “What’s the matter? I’m not criticizing you. I stopped you because I have sothing I need you to do.”
Yue Jiannan’s eyes lit up, “What is it?” He had been nearly bursting from staying in lately.
