Chapter 165 Yan Jiefang also ran away and took the opportunity to escape from Sijiu City

Yan Bugui was silent, then raised his hand to signal the third aunt to shut up. Yan Bugui closed his eyes and thought about the pros and cons.

If he wanted the money back, he could only call the police. However, once he did that, it would mean that Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng had completely fallen out. Once Gong An took action, it would not be as simple as just getting the money back. Yan Jiecheng would have to be locked up and, if things got worse, he might even have to spend time in a kiln.

However, if you don’t do this, you will definitely not get your money back.

Which is more important, money or son? This is a difficult question for most people.

However, Yan Bugui is not an ordinary person, and he does not worry about it.

Yan Bugui directly chose money, so he went to the security department of his unit to report the case to the police. However, the security department of his unit could not handle such matters, saying that it was not within their jurisdiction.

If Yan Jiecheng was in school, or even in a factory affiliated with the school, the Security Department said they could take care of him. However, Yan Jiecheng was now in Beijing and had a formal job, so the Security Department said they could not do anything about it.

Yan Bugui went to the local police station to report the case, but the local police station also said they could not do anything about it.

People don’t want to get into this kind of trouble at all. If they really want to take care of it, they have to travel through mountains and rivers to the old city. The key point is that two thousand yuan is indeed a big case, but this is an internal family conflict of the Yan family. If it is not handled properly, not only will the matter not be handled well, but they will also get into trouble. So, people simply said that this is an internal conflict in your family, so you should ask the leader to mediate.

In the end, Yan Bugui called Director Wang in Sijiucheng.

“Old Yan, are you sure you want me to go to the police station to report the case?” Director Wang asked in disbelief.

I have never seen such a thing in my life. The thing that my father sued my son for actually happened, and it happened under my jurisdiction. Director Wang felt that he was unlucky. Why were there so many weirdos under his jurisdiction?

“Of course I do. I don’t want to do this, but Jie Cheng refuses to admit that he stole the money. Since Yan Jie Cheng refuses to be an official, I can only be unrighteous and kill my own relative for the sake of justice.” Yan Bugui said sternly.

“You are putting justice above your own family. It’s obvious that you are reluctant to part with the money.” Director Wang thought to himself.

Since Yan Bugui had made a request, Director Wang reported the case on behalf of Yan Bugui.

“The Yan family won’t rest in peace even after we left.” Director Zhang said helplessly after receiving the report.

Director Zhang could only take two of his men to find Yan Jiecheng to find out the situation.

Thanks to He Yuzhu, the police station can no longer go to the unit to arrest people directly, even with the cooperation of the unit’s security department. If they want to arrest and interrogate someone, the factory office, factory labor union, factory supervision office, and Yan Jiecheng’s direct superiors must be present. If the person is a woman, someone from the factory liaison office must also be present.

Facing the joint trial, Yan Jiecheng was not afraid or panicked at all.

If Yan Jiecheng had only to face the security department and the police station, he would have collapsed long ago. However, facing the joint trial, Yan Jiecheng was not afraid of anything.

Because, in front of so many leaders, neither the security department nor the police station could hit anyone. Since they can’t hit anyone, what is there to be afraid of?

Yan Jiecheng’s main strategy is to hold on to his principles and never admit his mistakes.

Director Zhang was helpless. At this stage, most interrogation methods rely on physical force. Now that he was not allowed to use physical force, most of his skills were wasted.

Director Zhang was still unable to take Yan Jiecheng away. Yan Jiecheng insisted, “If you want to interrogate me, you have to do it in the factory. If you take me away, I’m afraid you will torture me into confessing.”

Yan Jiecheng also said that as long as he was not dead, he would go to the gate of Zhongnanhai and hit his head against the stone lions to death.

As soon as Yan Jiecheng said this, everyone present had a dark face. But they had no way to deal with Yan Jiecheng. They didn’t dare to bet whether Yan Jiecheng would do this. If Yan Jiecheng was really forced into a corner, and Yan Jiecheng really hit his head against the stone lion and died, then everyone present would be unable to escape.

The people present were so sure because there was a previous case at the steel rolling mill.

This means that if we want to find out whether Yan Jiecheng is guilty, we have to provide examples and cannot use the presumption of innocence as an excuse.

“Since Yan Bugui swore that it was Yan Jiecheng who took the money from home, and Yan Jiecheng insisted that he did not take it, I suggest searching the house,” Director Zhang suggested.

Although Director Zhang is the chief judge now, he also has many deputy judges, and Director Zhang can only make suggestions on many things.

This is of course restrictive for Director Zhang, but it is a great thing for people with jobs.

“Agree.” Everyone agreed. This was the normal case handling procedure and there was no objection.

Yan Jiecheng strongly demanded that the factory also bring people to join the search, and that the factory leaders must be present.

Director Zhang’s face immediately turned dark. It was obvious that Yan Jiecheng was afraid of being framed.

Everyone present went to Yan Jiecheng’s house in the courtyard to search. Since Yan Jiecheng dared to call people over, he must have made full preparations.

Forget about finding a big black money in the house. Even if you can find some change, you’d be considered capable.

Yan Jiecheng had already put the money in an iron box and buried it in a deep pit dug in a deserted corner outside the courtyard. Yan Jiecheng believed that as long as he could hold on for a while, he would be able to get the money out.

Even if Director Zhang found the money outside, Yan Jiecheng could completely deny it.

The room that Yan Jiecheng rented was a very small one, and Director Zhang’s men did not find any money at all.

Director Zhang wanted to continue the investigation and ask Yan Jiecheng where the money for the work station came from. However, buying a work station is something that can only be done in private and cannot be discussed openly.

Now, in front of so many printing factory leaders, Director Zhang did not dare to ask this question. If he asked, it would be equivalent to putting the matter out in the open.

At that time, he will not only be facing Yan Jiecheng, but the entire dark rules. If Director Zhang really does this, he will be dealt with soon.

Director Zhang wisely did not continue the interrogation.

Director Zhang organized the transcript, copied it, asked those present to sign and put their fingerprints on it, and then sent the copied transcript to Yan Bugui.

It was stated that there was no evidence in this matter and it could not be proved that Yan Jiecheng took the money. In the end, Yan Jiecheng was acquitted.

Yan Bugui waited anxiously on the Third Front for more than ten days. Not only did he receive this verdict and transcript, he also received a statement from Yan Jiecheng severing ties with him.

Yan Jiecheng took this opportunity to make a statement breaking off ties with Yan Bugui in front of the street, police station and unit.

Yan Bugui was so angry that he almost fainted. Even if he didn’t faint, Yan Jiegui was so angry that he lay down on the bed and couldn’t get out of bed for more than half a month.

“Old Yan, could it be that the money was not really taken by Jie Cheng, but was swapped along the way?” said the third aunt.

“How could it be switched? You hid it so tightly, who could have switched it?” Yan Bugui said angrily.

“Could it be that when we boarded the train and checked whether we had money, we were targeted?” asked the third aunt. Yan Bugui was stunned when he heard this.

Yan Bugui didn’t dare to guarantee that it was 100% impossible. During this period, there were many talented people, and there were always eighth-level “fitters” on the car. If you were really targeted by such a master, it was possible that you would lose money.

“It was Yan Jiecheng who took the money.” Yan Bugui said through clenched teeth.

Although Yan Bugui was now shaken, he still insisted. Based on his understanding of Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiecheng was very timid and could not withstand the interrogation at the police station. Yan Bugui had no idea that the police station now was different from before and they could not do whatever they wanted without restraint.

“You said Jie Cheng took the money, but the police station didn’t say that. I think it was because of you. If you hadn’t insisted that I check the money on the train, we wouldn’t have been targeted.”

“If we’re not targeted, the money won’t be lost. If the money isn’t lost, you won’t misunderstand Jie Cheng. If you don’t misunderstand Jie Cheng, Jie Cheng won’t break off relations with us.” The three aunts burst into tears.

The third aunt was heartbroken about losing the money, and also heartbroken that Yan Jiecheng had severed ties with them. Comparing the two, the third aunt was still heartbroken about losing the money.

After all, even though Yan Jiecheng has lost her son, she still has two sons and a daughter, so if the money is gone, it’s really gone.

“Stop crying, it’s so annoying.” Yan Bugui shouted angrily.

“I just cried and cried. You said you were fine, why did you have to provoke Sha Zhu? You also said that you would never be poor if you could eat and drink, but you would be poor if you couldn’t plan well. As a result, you planned on Sha Zhu and was sent to the third line by Sha Zhu. You lost your money and your son…” The third aunt screamed hoarsely.

The third aunt was not being unreasonable, nor was she trying to pick a fight to hurt Yan Bugui’s feelings. It was mainly because she was heartbroken about losing so much money, so she took the opportunity to vent.

Yan Bugui naturally knew what the third aunt was thinking, so he stopped arguing with her and closed his eyes and pretended to be dead on the bed.

“Dad, Mom, stop arguing. I believe what my dad said. The money in the house must have been taken away by my eldest brother. Everyone knows my eldest brother’s character. If he didn’t have so much money in his hands and he was so timid, how could he dare to stay in the city alone?”

“What’s more, my brother bought a job. Only the street office believes that my brother borrowed the money. I don’t believe that my brother borrowed the money. My brother must have used the money from home to buy his job.” Yan Jiefang suddenly said.

“Then why didn’t the police station say that?” asked the third aunt.

“I don’t know how the police station conducts the interrogation, but I know my elder brother,” said Yan Jiefang.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt looked at each other, saying that Yan Jiekuang had hit the nail on the head. The emperor was far away, and they really didn’t understand how the police station conducted the interrogation. After all, they didn’t see it with their own eyes, but they knew Yan Jiecheng.

“Jiefang, what do you think? If you just ask for the money back, I’ll ask your mother to make you braised pork belly.” Yan Bugui asked impatiently.

“Dad, Mom, I’m planning to go back to Sijiu City. In fact, it would be best if you go back to Sijiu City in person. However, they may not let you go,” Yan Jiefang said.

Yan Bugui nodded. He understood what Yan Jiefang meant. He was just afraid that he would run away and never come back.

“I have no concerns in this regard. I will go home and force my brother to return the money,” said Yan Jiefang.

“Do you have any way to get your brother to take out the money?” Yan Bugui asked.

“Actually, I learned this trick from Sha Zhu. I threatened my brother that if he didn’t pay me, I would go to the square and hold up a sign, or I would go to Zhongnanhai and crash my head against a stone lion and die.”

“If this matter alarmed the higher-ups, they would definitely send people to investigate. The police station can’t find out anything, but the higher-ups may not be able to tell you that. They are professionals.”

“I use this to scare my brother. My brother is so timid that he will definitely take out the money after being scared like this. If he doesn’t take out the money, I will really do this. He doesn’t let us have an easy life, so we shouldn’t let him have an easy life either,” said Yan Jiefang.

“Okay, let’s do it!” Yan Bugui said happily, and his mood inexplicably improved a lot.

The third aunt stopped crying and had a smile on her face.

“There is no time to lose, Dad. Take me to get a letter of introduction. The sooner I arrive in Sijiu City, the more money I can get. God knows whether my brother will squander the money during this period of time.” After Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he stretched out his big hand, meaning that Yan Bugui should give the money.

Even at this point, Yan Bugui was still stingy by nature and began to calculate how much Yan Jiefang’s trip would cost. He calculated it very carefully, not a penny more, and that was only for the travel expenses.

Yan Bugui gave Yan Jiekuang 50 cents, and Yan Jiefang was dumbfounded. He came all the way back to Beijing, and you should give him at least 10 or 8 yuan, if not a few dozen yuan. What’s the point of giving him 50 cents?
“Dad, please give me some more money, in case something unexpected happens on the road?” Yan Jiefang said.

“If there is no accident, what do you need so much money for? I’ll buy you the ticket; I’ll ask my leader to write you the letter of introduction; I’ll ask your mother to prepare food and drinks for the road; you can’t spend a penny at all, and I’ll give you a dollar as a backup.” Yan Bugui said proudly.

Yan Bugui’s words completely extinguished the hope and the last bit of reluctance in Yan Jiefang’s heart.

Yan Jiefang’s plan was to go to Sijiu City and not return to the Third Front. At most, he would send some money to Yan Bugui. Now, Yan Bugui’s calculations completely chilled Yan Jiefang’s heart. After all, Yan Jiefang was working for Yan Bugui, and Yan Bugui treated him like this.

Yan Jiefang decided to leave this family completely, just like Yan Jiecheng.

After getting the letter of introduction and the train ticket, Yan Jiefang took his household registration booklet and other documents and left home without looking back.

Before leaving, Yan Bugui kept nagging Yan Jiefang to send the money back as soon as possible.

Yan Jiefang breathed a sigh of relief after getting on the train.

After Yan Jiefang arrived in Sijiucheng by train, he found Yan Jiecheng as soon as possible.

“Why are you here?” Yan Jiecheng asked in confusion.

“Brother, don’t you understand why I came here? Don’t tell me you didn’t take any money from home. You can fool them but not me.”

“Buy me a workstation, separate my household registration, and help me issue a statement severing ties with my family, and this matter will be over.”

“If you don’t agree, then I will go to the gate of Zhongnanhai and hit my head against the stone lions and die. You can deceive the people in the police station and the streets, but I don’t believe you dare to deceive the people above.” Yan Jiefang said in a deep voice.

“Are you relying on me?” Yan Jiecheng said with a dark face.

“I just rely on you, so what? Why can you take the money from the family but I can’t? The money in the family has both your share and mine.”

“Either you beat me to death now, or you just do what I say. Anyway, I can’t bear to go back to that home. If you don’t do it for me, I will starve to death. If I starve to death, I have to drag someone down with me. If we die, we die together.” Yan Jiefang said viciously.

“Me, you, okay, I’ll do as you say, and this will end here.” Yan Jiecheng didn’t dare to bet whether Yan Jiefang would do such a thing, so he had to compromise.

“Give me another 200 yuan for living expenses.” Yan Jiefang took the opportunity to say.

“Don’t push your luck.” Yan Jiecheng said angrily.

“I’m not asking for too much. Dad is short of a total of 1,860 yuan. You spent a maximum of 600 yuan on buying the job, plus rent and other things, and 20 yuan was deducted at most. You still have 1,240 yuan left. After deducting the 600 yuan I spent on buying the job, you still have 640 yuan. What’s wrong with you giving me 200 yuan?” Yan Jiefang said.
