Chapter 121: Setting Fire to the Garden on a Dark and Windy Night
It was two o'clock in the morning, a dark and windy night.
On the country road, two dark figures slowly walked towards the outside of Zhangjia Village.
In order to avoid being discovered by others, the two of them only used the dim light from their mobile phone screens.
If someone passed by and didn't look carefully, they might think it was a ghost fire.
"It's so dark tonight, it's a good time to do some sneaky things!" Chen Shi said with a smile.
"If you can't speak, then shut up." Chen Long shouted.
"Oh" Chen Shi felt aggrieved.
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the two men found the fields of Zhangjia Village.
This place has been cleaned up.
Several large temporary tents were set up in the middle of the field. I guess they were filled with mechanical equipment from the medicine garden, as well as some miscellaneous tools.
At this time, the surrounding fences had been built for hundreds of meters.
"Huh, the people in Zhangjia Village work pretty fast. It's only been a few days and the fence is almost completed." Chen Long said to himself.
"But... humph, I can make you suffer heavy losses with just one fire!"
The several large tents were very close to each other, and in the middle of the tents there were some branches and straw that they had cut down, which perhaps they had not had time to clean up.
Isn’t this a godsend?
The tent was already filled with combustion aids such as diesel used for farm tools, and with the dry straw added to the fire, they would suffer heavy losses!
Chen Long's eyes lit up with excitement.
He seemed to have seen Cheng Ming crying loudly in front of the instruments and equipment that were burned to ashes, and he felt very happy!
"See if there's anyone there first?"
"No, I didn't see anyone, and there was no light. Even if there was someone guarding here, they should have fallen asleep."
Wait for the person guarding here to wake up.
They had already lit the fire and fled.
There were no cameras in the fields and it was dark, so who knows who did it?
Maybe they will even think that the fire was caused by their own mismanagement!
"Okay, let's get started!" Chen Long ordered.
The two men slipped to both sides of the tent, took out mineral water bottles filled with diesel, and poured the diesel on the tarpaulin.
Then lighten it a little.
Fire broke out at the scene.
"Brother Long, let's go!" Chen Shi called out to Chen Long in a low voice.
Chen Long, however, continued to look at the fire and laughed strangely.
Just then, there was suddenly a lot of movement around!
Someone yelled, "Fire!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the two men turned around and tried to run, but seven or eight men rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.
Although Chen Long and Chen Shi have the advantage of size.
But two fists are no match for four hands.
After just one encounter, he was pinned to the ground by seven or eight people.
then.
As the two men looked on in astonishment, someone calmly took out a fire extinguisher and easily put out the fire.
Is there a fire extinguisher in the tent?
Chen Long had a bad feeling in his heart.
Lights came on all around.
Only then did Chen Long see clearly that the people holding them down were the workers from the medicine garden, the people from Zhangjia Village.
A tall man slowly walked out of the tent.
The workers made room for him.
It was none other than Cheng Ming.
Chen Long was shocked.
"You, you actually knew I would come?"
Cheng Ming didn't say anything.
Old Zhang next to him slapped Chen Long hard.
"Chen Long, you are so cruel. You actually dared to set fire!"
Chen Long didn't look at Lao Zhang.
Just kept staring at Cheng Ming.
"You, how did you know?"
How do you know?
Of course it was because Cheng Ming monitored the two people’s cell phones.
When he realized that these two people were not good people, he directly hacked into and monitored their mobile phones.
Any actions of these two people in recent times cannot escape Cheng Ming's surveillance.
When he heard that Chen Long and the other man were planning to burn their equipment, he was indeed a little surprised at the courage of these two thugs.
At this age, he dared to do such a thing. Fortunately, he had the foresight to monitor them and knew their intentions in advance.
Then Cheng Ming set up a tight net here. Not only did he secretly set up cameras, he also asked Lao Zhang and others to ambush on the side and prepared fire extinguishers.
As expected, the two men were caught in one fell swoop.
But now, Cheng Ming didn't talk to Chen Long. In his opinion, there was no need to communicate with a scumbag and loser like Chen Long.
There are both witnesses and physical evidence.
This is enough to sentence this person to many years.
"Call the police, Lao Zhang." Cheng Ming said.
"it is good."
Not long after, the police arrived.
Take the witnesses and evidence directly to the police station.
At the police station, Cheng Ming told the police what had happened, but he concealed the fact that he had hacked into the cell phones of Chen Long and the other man.
He said it was just a coincidence. He saw the two men setting fire when he got up at night, so he woke everyone up and caught the two men.
The other workers said basically the same thing.
Soon Cheng Ming came out of the interrogation room.
At this time, in another interrogation room.
Chen Long was very nervous.
It was completely different from the arrogance he had shown in the fields just now.
Since the facts and evidence were right in front of him, he had no way of denying it and had to confess honestly.
"Well, officer, how many years will I be sentenced to?"
"Your crime is arson, and the circumstances are serious. Based on my experience, you will be sentenced to at least seven years."
"what"
When Chen Long heard that he would go to jail for seven years, he was really panicked.
He originally just wanted to teach Cheng Ming a lesson and never thought that the consequences would be so serious!
"Officer, please forgive me. I didn't know it was so serious. I thought I would just be locked up for a few days."
Chen Long began to beg for mercy from the police officer opposite him.
But the police ignored him.
"You'd better save that for the judge!"
"Officer, can you give me a lighter sentence?"
Chen Long cried and struggled to kneel down in front of the police. The policeman saw that he was crying too loudly, so he gave him a suggestion.
"You can try to get the victim's forgiveness. If you get their forgiveness letter, the judge may give you a lighter sentence."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, officer!"
Hearing the police say this, Chen Long seemed to see hope.
The trial ends.
When Chen Long and Chen Shi were taken out of the interrogation room, they happened to meet Cheng Ming and others standing in the hall.
Ignoring the police's obstruction, the two men rushed to Cheng Ming, knelt down and burst into tears!
"Boss Cheng! I was wrong!"
"Please let me go!"
"I was just confused for a moment. Now I know I was wrong. Can you let us go?"
"I really regret leaving the medicine garden. Can you give us another chance and let us go back to the medicine garden to work for you and make amends for our sins?"
"Just give us a letter of apology!"
The two of them talked while crying.
But Cheng Ming remained unmoved.
Old Zhang next to him took a look at Cheng Ming's expression, turned around and scolded Chen Long and the others.
"You know you're wrong?"
"I see you are scared, aren't you?"
"Will a heartless person like you admit your mistakes?"
"I still want to work in Boss Cheng's medicine garden. Why do you want to be so beautiful?"
Cheng Ming had just finished his formalities. He ignored Chen Long and the others and just turned around and left.
Lao Zhang and other workers followed behind him.
Chen Long and Chen Shi watched Cheng Ming walking further and further away, their eyes filled with despair and fear.
