He checked the time; they had already been delayed for quite a while.
Just then, Chen Shuangquan, having finished dealing with the Ma Family's matter, hurried over.
"Advisor Yang, Captain Luo, Yu Station, I'm so sorry for the delay. The kid's situation is taken care of. Shall we head to Liujiagou now?" Chen Shuangquan asked.
"Alright, let's go," Yang Qi nodded.
The group got back into their vehicles and drove off into the night, toward their main destination:
Liujiagou Village.
...
It was nearly ten o'clock at night when their vehicles reached the small square at the entrance to Liujiagou Village.
The old village chief, having been notified in advance, was already waiting there with two other village officials.
When he saw the police car and Yang Qi's SUV pull to a stop, the old chief hurried over. He gripped Yang Qi's hand tightly, his rough palms conveying a mixture of gratitude and anticipation.
