Chapter 189: Prelude
Translator: 549690339
He City, evening.
Bai Fan sat on the chair with his palms pressed together. No one knew what he was thinking.
Bai Fan didn’t personally investigate what the old man said. He wanted to trust the firearms army again and give himself another chance.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Enter! ”
Two people in charge came in with a person in their arms.
“Leader Bai Fan, we found him. He kidnapped three people and stole their belongings.”
Bai Fan got up to check and asked, “Dead?”” “No, he’s unconscious,” the leader replied.” “How are the three women?”
“It’s said that it’s nothing serious!”
Suppress him,” Bai Fan said.” We’ll deal with him when he wakes up!”” The two of them agreed and went down.
It seemed like everything wasn’t as bad as he had imagined. Bai Fan’s mood eased a little.
The next morning.
Bai Fan didn’t interrogate the criminal immediately. Instead, he went to the old man’s residence alone.
After knocking on the door, it took a long time for it to open.
When Sir System opened the door and saw that it was Bai Fan, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Bai Fan realized that something was wrong and asked, “What’s wrong?” Didn’t your daughter come back?”
Sir System did not say anything and walked into the house without closing the door.
Bai Fan hesitated for a second before closing the door and following Sir System into a room.
There was a woman lying on the bed. She was about 24 or 25 years old and was still sleeping. She did not look well and looked very haggard.
Bai Fan immediately went closer to take a look. On the surface, there was no problem, but he looked very tired. He must have been frightened.
“How’s your daughter after she came back?” Bai Fan asked.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Bai Fan in horror.
Her reaction was very intense. She immediately got out of bed and hid in a corner of the room, trembling all over.
Only then did Bai Fan see the wounds on his wrists and ankles. They were obviously caused by being tied up for a long time.
Anger rose in his heart. After adjusting his emotions, Bai Fan said,””Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you!”
The woman was still very nervous. Bai Fan knew that the woman would not let her guard down at this time.
He could only leave the room and let the woman calm down first.
First Master also came out. Bai Fan pulled First Master and said, ‘”What’s going on?”
Sir System’s eyes were filled with disappointment as he said weakly,” Governor Bai, our family used to live a miserable life, but we were happy. You brought us to a better life after you came. I once shouted ‘Long live Governor Bai’ on the street, but now it seems that your policy is just a new one. You are even crueler!”
Sir System’s every word hit Bai Fan’s sore spot. This was not what Bai Fan wanted to see.
“Sir, tell me in detail, what exactly happened?” Bai Fan asked. There might be some things I don’t know.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you. My daughter was sent back last night and told me that the murderer was Xiao Chen, who was on duty in our area. ‘”‘
Bai Fan nodded and gestured for Sir System to continue.
“But Xiao Chen can’t be the murderer. Xiao Chen is only in his early twenties and is a good child. After my daughter went missing, he even helped to find her.’
Bai Fan recalled the man who was brought here last night. He was indeed young.
“Oh? Is that true?”
Sir System gritted his teeth and said, “Also, look at my daughter now. She’s crazy and covered in wounds. This is definitely not done by one person. It was done by a group of people.’”‘
‘ You’re saying that the murderer isn’t Xiao Chen but someone else?” Bai Fan asked.” A few people used Xiao Chen as a scapegoat to escape the crime?””
Sir System nodded and said,” That’s right. There are three people missing. My daughter is the only one who came back. The whereabouts of the other two are unknown. Such a thing has happened and it makes us feel disappointed. If you don’t care, how can we trust you?
Bai Fan understood that someone was up to something. Things were not that simple.
“Sir, don’t worry. I’ll definitely investigate this matter and give you justice.”
Bai Fan said goodbye to the old man and went to the other houses on the street.
The situation was not much different from what Sir System had said. Bai Fan knew what was going on and immediately went back to find Xiao Chen. The breakthrough now was with Xiao Chen. As long as he could find out who caught Xiao Chen, he would probably know the murderer.
After returning home, Bai Fan went straight to where Xiao Chen was being held. When he entered, he saw Xiao Chen lying on the ground, no longer breathing.
Bai Fan was completely furious. The entire firearms army was now rotten.
For the next two days, he would try his best to follow up on this matter. There were many clues left behind, such as who captured Xiao Chen and who were the guards nearby.
Soon, the culprits were caught. There were a total of eight people. These people had evil intentions and gathered together to do many evil things. Bai Fan really did not expect that he would have such people under him.
On the same day, Bai Fan brought the eight of them to the door of the First Master’s house and apologized to the First Master and his daughter.
Sir System vomited on the eight of them one by one and clenched his fists.”You scum deserve to die.”
The group members who were watching from the surroundings also shouted that they deserved to die.
“Why did you do this?” Bai Fan asked in front of everyone. What did they do
wrong?
One of them said indignantly,” Leader Bai Fan, we followed you because we wanted power and freedom. We’ve already conquered He City. We can’t do anything, yet we still have to protect them. Why?” Why?” Who knew how many people were thinking about this?
Bai Fan shouted,” Stupid, don’t you want to live a stable life?”
“I don’t want to! The moment I picked up the firearms, I didn’t think that I could be safe in the future. Bai Fan, you don’t deserve to be our leader at all. You don’t think about us, but you think about these trash.”
Bai Fan slapped the man’s face and he fainted.
Bai Fan shouted,” You have to pay the price for your mistakes. These people hurt others. They deserve to die!” The others should take this as a warning!” He took out his pistol and ended their lives on the spot.
Cheers filled the entire city, even if some residents thought that this was a self-directed play by Bai Fan to win the hearts of the people.
However, it was still unstoppable. The trust that the people of He City had in Bai Fan rose to a new level. Everyone knew that Bai Fan had the ability to protect them.
On this day, Bai Fan had gained the support of the entire He City, but he had planted a hidden danger.
What Bai Fan did next was to reorganize the army.
He set up rules to restrict the firearms army to prevent such a thing from happening again.
Bai Fan was a little tired after working late into the night. His condition had improved.
However, the hidden danger of the firearms army was still there. Using forceful methods was not a solution. He had to fundamentally resolve the dissatisfaction of the firearms army.
Bai Fan’s thoughts were in a mess and he didn’t know what to do next.
He suddenly thought of Moxiu, the person who had given him countless suggestions.
If Moxiu was here right now, what tricks would he come up with to control the firearms army?
In fact, Bai Fan did not realize that what should have been the strongest power in Bai Fan’s hands was now restricting him..
