Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1331 - 649: Crackdown on Gambling

Da Gui had been stewing in anger, thinking about how he would deal with his wife when he got home; suddenly, he heard Yan Fei asking about the people playing cards. Without a second thought, he replied, "They’re just folks from the neighborhood casually playing. It’s the New Year, and there’s nothing much to do; just playing cards for fun!"

Many people throughout history have been blinded by gambling; not even recognizing their own sons, but Da Gui was still considered fortunate. First, he was usually busy working and earning money, and he had just come into contact with gambling now that he had a bit of spare cash. Second, the prestige of Boss Yan in town was not to be taken lightly.

Speaking of which, this place wasn’t far from Granny Dazui’s home. Initially, Yan Sanfen had carried a huge stone stele weighing a thousand catties right through here. Some things might seem like a joke when heard, but seeing them firsthand, the shock was indescribable.

So even if you gave Da Gui a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to cross Yan Fei. After speaking, he remembered that the one asking the questions wasn’t someone who was easy to placate. His mind whirled several times in an instant, suddenly recalling an important fact: "Boss Yan, I was just preoccupied and didn’t think straight. The card players are all local neighbors, except one who’s said to be Old Baldy’s nephew and isn’t from our town."

"Oh! Give me the details," Yan Fei was slightly surprised. He’d asked casually, just wanting to know if these people gambled big because of some influence brought back by the migrant workers. He didn’t expect there to be someone from outside—on the first day of the New Year, when visiting was not even proper.

Da Gui, wary that his previous tone might have upset Yan Fei, answered with great care, "Old Baldy’s nephew is from Hongshan Town to the north. He only came over yesterday morning, saying he’s here to celebrate the New Year at Old Baldy’s house. We were just playing amongst ourselves at first, but then Old Baldy let him take his place. That guy was really lucky, winning against all of us..."

Hongshan Town belongs to the Paper Factory’s county, not Tanghe County.

At this point, Da Gui paused briefly, then as if struck by a realization, blurted out, "Boss Yan, do you think he could be cheating? That guy doesn’t look trustable at all, starting the game hesitantly—you think he..."

"That’s enough!" Yan Fei interrupted Da Gui.

Now he thinks the guy might be cheating, not looking honest after having counted money for him earlier!

After pondering for a moment, Yan Fei took out his phone and started dialing, speaking as he did so, "Get the police station involved, and cooperate when they get here, don’t let that guy you mentioned run away!"

Da Gui jumped in fright, "Err, Boss Yan, Old Baldy has been our neighbor for years, and besides..."

Right then, the call connected, Yan Fei glanced at him, signaling him to stop talking. He spoke into the phone, "Officer Xu, Happy New Year! Spending the New Year on duty, how does it feel?"

From the handset, Xu Changsheng’s tired voice was evident, "Boss Yan, hello, hello! Happy New Year!"

Despite what had happened before, everyone was not there through private interests but rather wished for the villagers to have better celebrations in the future; now that issue had passed.

Having eaten a meal together, the two men had become somewhat familiar; both being young, Xu Changsheng, spending his first New Year away from home, had quite the impression, not shying away from talking more, "Hey, don’t mention it. What feel can being on duty have? This is the first time I’m not at home for New Year; it really feels odd."

Yan Fei laughed heartily, "Then let me keep you busy, there’s gambling going on here. Come and take them to the station to celebrate—it’ll be lively!"

Xu Xiaoyan watched Yan Fei’s schadenfreude, pulling Yan Chao aside to stand further away—no one wants to spend the New Year at the police station!

Hearing about the gambling, Officer Xu suddenly became alert, "Where is this? I’m coming over immediately."

Yan Fei, smiling, gave the location, then added, "Hurry over, I’ll wait here to watch the fun, and we can talk when you arrive."

After Yan Fei hung up, Da Gui muttered, "They’re all local neighbors. After they find out I did this, how am I supposed to show my face again..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Yan Fei glared at him, "You slaughter pigs and cows all year, how much money have you made? They let you gamble till you had to use your savings book; who advised you against it?"

"Didn’t people try to stop me? I was just too obsessed to listen back then," Da Gui murmured meekly.

This guy, able to slaughter pigs and cows, was indeed sturdy, but his demeanor in front of Yan Fei was similar to his wife’s earlier. Yan Fei couldn’t stand it, "Stand up straight! Look at yourself, and show some spine when the police get here. Whoever advised you, whoever egged you on to spend the money, make it all clear, got it?"

Da Gui’s wife, a bit scared and looking out for her man, mustered her courage to ask, "Boss Yan, when the police arrive, our head of the family won’t be in trouble, right?"

Yan Fei thought for a moment, "Even if there is trouble, it won’t be much. At least he’ll have shown some merit... Forget it, I’ll talk to Officer Xu and sort it out based on his meritorious behavior, so it won’t interfere with visiting relatives tomorrow."

Da Gui and his wife both turned to Yan Fei gratefully, "Thank you, Boss Yan, thank you so much... I’ll work properly from now on, you can count on me, I won’t gamble anymore!"
