Chapter 6: Director Wang is afraid
"Fine, I can't argue with you. You can go find your daughter, but don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, this time, I really will send you to jail."
Chen Qingshan said through gritted teeth.
Old Mo shrugged and said, "It's like you're never being genuine."
Old Mo's eyes were like knives as he looked at Chen Qingshan with a sinister smile.
"I can tell you clearly now, if I can't find my daughter, I will kill people. I will kill everyone who harmed me. If you don't help me, I will deal with it my way. I hope you will be satisfied."
"You, you, you."
Chen Qingshan pointed at Lao Mo, his fingers trembling.
This guy is too arrogant; he really wants to drag him back.
Unfortunately, he knew it was useless. Old Mo was right; in our country, saying it isn't illegal. Forcibly taking him back would only result in a maximum of twenty-four hours of detention.
"hehe……"
Old Mo chuckled coldly, enjoying watching him become furious and helpless in his rage.
As they were talking, Yi Zhonghai finally returned. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also came with him.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Lao Mo and asked, "Lao Mo, we discussed it, and they said that one thousand yuan is too much. Can we reduce it a bit?"
Old Mo stared coldly at him: "Yi Zhonghai, are you kidding me? They stole my money, they stole it! Don't you know what stealing means? If I steal a thousand from you, can I return two hundred? If I could, wouldn't the whole world be full of thieves?"
Yi Zhonghai's face turned red and white as he was told this.
Old Mo continued, "They not only have to return my thousand yuan, but they also have to compensate me for the lost furniture in monetary terms. If that's not enough, then let's stop talking and have Captain Chen arrest them! They'll behave themselves once they're back."
Chen Qingshan was very cooperative; he offered to help, and he didn't play games with it.
"Master Yi, since you're unwilling to repay the money, then let's not talk about it anymore. Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhang, arrest them."
Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang accepted the order, walked up to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and took out handcuffs.
"Master Liu, Teacher Yan, please take the initiative and don't make things difficult for us."
Are they really going to arrest them?
Yan Bugui, in particular, was genuinely terrified. Teachers' jobs were extremely precarious. If he were arrested, he'd be immediately labeled a member of some faction, and forget about work; he'd be lucky if he didn't end up in a cowshed.
Yan Bugui quickly said, "We'll compensate, we'll pay, okay? Old Yi, please say something to help us!"
"Yes, that's right, we'll compensate, we're willing to pay."
Liu Haizhong quickly added.
Yi Zhonghai quickly said loudly, "Wait a minute, they're willing to compensate us."
Finally, after another round of discussion, Lao Mo successfully received 1150 yuan.
The extra 150 was compensation for the lost furniture.
Now that he's got the money, he should be able to leave, right?
Everyone stared expectantly at Old Mo, hoping he would leave as soon as possible. In their eyes, this guy was a jinx. He couldn't stay in their courtyard.
However, instead of leaving, Old Mo walked straight to the backyard.
What are you doing? What is this guy doing?
The group immediately followed.
Then, they saw Old Mo take the key and, with a click, open the door to the storage room.
Well, there aren't many miscellaneous items in here, but it's been uninhabited for so long that it looks quite dirty.
"I'll give you two yuan. Who would like to clean this room for me? Don't worry, this is a new house that the neighborhood committee just allocated to me."
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Yang Ruihua, the third aunt, immediately jumped out.
She's quickest to seize any opportunity to make money. Even though the Yan family just lost a few hundred yuan, that doesn't matter.
That's two yuan! If she doesn't earn it, she won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Alright. Then it's up to you, Auntie. Set out all the pots and pans they bring back later. I'm going out for a bit."
After giving instructions to the three aunts, Lao Mo went out alone.
When he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw lollipops on the shelves.
Old Mo walked up and asked, "Comrade, how much is a lollipop?"
The salesperson said, "One cent each."
Old Mo nodded and took out ten yuan: "Give me a hundred."
"Oh, okay!"
The sales clerk was helpless and could only give it to him. You don't need a coupon to buy this. You can't expect a child to ask for a coupon just to buy a lollipop.
The sales clerk asked, "We have Bright Dairy lollipops and True Knowledge lollipops, which one would you like?"
"Half and half!"
Soon, Lao Mo received a large paper bag of lollipops.
After turning a corner and seeing that no one was around, Lao Mo tossed the lollipop into his spatial storage.
It's just a space for inanimate objects; it doesn't serve much purpose.
Its best function is to be able to sense scenes within a 30-meter range.
As long as there are no obstructions, he can store anything within a 30-meter radius into his spatial storage. He can store and store anything at will.
When he was hospitalized recently, he tried to control objects within a 30-meter range.
After a month of practice, he really mastered it.
Apart from that, Lao Mo didn't figure out any other functions of this space.
Even so, it was already like adding wings to a tiger for him.
I found a place and ate a bowl of noodles that didn't require a ticket.
With a lollipop in his mouth, he arrived at the street opposite the gate of Hongxing Elementary School. He found a spot and waited quietly.
The sun is setting in the west; it should be almost time for school to end.
Sure enough, after a short while, parents on bicycles began to arrive at the school gate one after another.
At that moment, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.
That's right, it's Director Wang from their neighborhood office. She has a bicycle and was just passing by to pick up her child.
Director Wang turned his head and saw Lao Mo standing at the alley entrance, arms crossed, waiting.
When Lao Mo saw her, he waved to her and revealed a chilling smile.
When Director Wang saw him, she remembered his threats against her earlier that day, and her expression changed drastically. She quickly rode her bicycle up to him and stopped.
"Old Mo, what are you doing here?"
Old Mo sneered, "Director Wang, aren't you being a bit too domineering? This is a public place. Are only officials like you allowed to come here, while ordinary citizens like us can't?"
Director Wang angrily pointed at him and said, "Old Mo, I advise you not to cause trouble."
Old Mo shrugged and said, "Director Wang, which eye of yours saw me causing trouble? I miss my daughter, so I came to the school to see if she's still studying there. Is that not allowed? How can you officials be so domineering?"
That reason makes sense. If they're lucky, going to the school does offer a chance to find their daughter.
Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, snorted coldly, pushed his bicycle, and left.
She went to the school gate and waited for her children to come out.
"hehe……"
Old Mo sneered and continued to stand there with his arms crossed.
Soon, the school bell rang. The children who were picked up by bicycle ran out especially fast.
After waiting for a while, Lao Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw two children, one big and one small, a boy and a girl, running quickly toward Director Wang.
"Mom, you're here so early today. Haha, Mom..."
