"Boss, we found nothing!"

"Boss, there's nothing in the trunk!"

"You drive such a nice car, why don't you have anything valuable in it?"

These people wore hats and masks on their faces, with only a pair of eyes exposed, trying to hide their facial features as much as possible.

I think they also know that highway robbery is wrong and they don't want others to see their faces.

"Take out the valuables on you," the leading man looked at Xia Meng, and the knife in his hand was close to Xia Meng's neck, as if if Xia Meng didn't agree, the knife would cut her neck in the next second.

There were more than ten people, two of them had already gotten into the car, and the rest were staring at Xia Meng.

“Boss, this woman is pretty. If she doesn’t have anything valuable on her, why don’t you give her to me!”

"Boss, why does this woman look so familiar to me?"

"Really?" The leading man looked at the younger brother who was speaking, "Then take a closer look!"

The younger brother stepped forward and stared at Xia Meng's face for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes turned horrified.

"State...State..."

The leading man saw that the younger brother was stuttering and immediately said impatiently,

"What? Explain clearly! Do you know him or not?"

After being scolded, the younger brother spoke more fluently. After swallowing his saliva, he explained Xia Meng's identity in one breath.

"Boss, she's the governor!"

"You forgot that you praised her before when you were watching TV!"

Upon hearing this, the leading man asked someone to shine a flashlight on Xia Meng's face and carefully checked it several times. Finally, he was sure that what the younger brother said was true. The woman in front of him was Governor Xia!!!

The governor who is praised by many people and even praised by him many times, and who is willing to work for the people!

This? ? ?

My goodness, why did they rob her when they could rob anyone else?

This?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Boss, what... should we do?"

"Boss, why don't you let her go?"

"Let her go?"

The leading man heard this and showed a trace of struggle in his eyes. He stared at Xia Meng for a long while.

"Um...Governor Xia, you are Governor Xia, right?"

Xia Meng looked at the man and nodded, "I am!"

"Oh, this... this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" After confirming Xia Meng's identity, the man's attitude towards Xia Meng immediately changed 180 degrees and became very polite.

"I'm so sorry for what happened before! Um...you can go now!"

Xia Meng raised an eyebrow, "Can I leave? Are you sure?"

The man nodded heavily, "Sure! You can go now!"

Xia Meng, "I actually still have some money on me."

The man laughed bitterly, "Governor Xia, please stop teasing us. If we had a choice, we wouldn't choose to do this!"

"We know you are a good official, so we will not rob you."

"Please leave quickly. We don't want to embarrass you, and we hope you won't embarrass us either."

Xia Meng looked at these people and asked, "Can't you find a job?"

"Yeah," the man nodded, "Who would want to do this if they could find a good job?"

Xia Meng, "But isn't the cafeteria still free now? You can take your time to find a job!"

Since the earthquake, the official cafeteria is still free. I can’t say the food is that good, but at least you can eat your fill.

After hearing this, the man sighed helplessly.

"Governor Xia, although the cafeteria is free, it costs money to see a doctor, and it also costs money to eat meat!"

"There are so many places to spend money, and there are so few places hiring now. It's hard for us to find a satisfactory job. Plus, now... the cameras are almost useless. So what do you say..."

"Is there any job that makes money faster than robbery?"

This sounds fine at first, but the key question is,

"You are breaking the law by doing this."

The leading man said, "Hey! This...who cares about this now when survival is a problem?"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Natural disasters are so frequent nowadays. I might be crushed to death in the next earthquake. I might as well enjoy myself while I can!"

"Yes, yes, it is better to die gloriously than to wait for death in mediocrity!"

Xia Meng said unhappily, "What you call a grand event is to build your pain on the happiness of others?"

"You are cool and you are rich because of your robbery, but what about the people you robbed?"

"Many of them are ordinary people, right? They are the same as you, right? If you think life is hard, you can rob them. If they think life is hard, whose things should they rob?"

These people were silent.

Only the leading man was still talking.

"Governor Xia, we understand what you mean, but since we have embarked on this path, there is no turning back."

"Yes! Even if I'm caught and shot, I won't say a word! At most, I'll be a brave man again in 18 years!"

After hearing what this person said, Xia Meng couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean he's a good man again after 18 years? Are you stupid? When a person dies, he's dead. There's no next life!"

"Have you ever seen anyone who died and was reborn?"

Xia Meng glanced at everyone and said calmly,

"Go and turn yourself in, and try to get leniency!"

"We will not surrender!" The leading man became alert immediately after hearing Xia Meng say this.

"Governor Xia, we admire you, so we are willing to let you go, but please stop interfering in our affairs."

"That's right, hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Really?" Xia Meng was not afraid, "Then I want to see how you guys are being rude."

As Xia Meng spoke, she reached out and grabbed the leading man's arm. The leading man was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but found that his arm was firmly grasped by Xia Meng, and Xia Meng's hand was like an iron clamp, difficult to shake, and he couldn't pull it at all.

The leading man immediately realized that Xia Meng was no simple person and was not a weak woman who could be bullied. So he opened his mouth to scream, but was chopped on the back of his neck by Xia Meng's hand. The leading man rolled his eyes and fainted immediately.

When the others saw this, they immediately shouted anxiously,

"Boss?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"You stinky woman, we're letting you go because you're a good official. Don't push your luck."

"Let's go together! Catch her!"

More than a dozen people rushed towards Xia Meng.

At first glance, Xia Meng knew that these people were a mob. They probably didn't have much experience in robbery and their actions were disorganized. They only succeeded because they had more people.

Xia Meng didn't hold back either. In less than three minutes, she knocked down more than a dozen people.

A few minutes later, only Xia Meng was still standing there.

The rest of them were lying on the ground, groaning and wailing...

"Ouch! My waist!"

"Hey! It hurts!"

These people were huddled on the ground. Xia Meng took a quick look around before taking out her cell phone and calling the sheriff.

When the police received Xia Meng's call, they immediately guessed that something might have happened to Xia Meng.

"Governor Xia?"

Xia Meng briefly told the sheriff about her current location and what had just happened.

After hearing this, the sheriff immediately said that he would take people there immediately and asked Xia Meng to be careful.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the sheriff and his men arrived.

After the sheriff got out of the car, he saw so many people lying on the ground, and only Xia Meng was standing. He immediately walked towards Xia Meng in a hurry.

"Governor Xia, are you okay?" His tone was full of concern.

Xia Meng waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The sheriff glanced at the robber lying on the ground and frowned.

"These people are becoming more and more arrogant!"

Xia Meng sighed and said, "After they knew my identity, they didn't want to hurt me. They even wanted to let me go, but..."

"If they don't rob me, they will definitely rob others. Before they commit bigger crimes, we should arrest them first, so as to avoid being caught and shot later."

Of course, these people did not appreciate Xia Meng's kindness.

After they were handcuffed, they glared at Xia Meng with dissatisfaction.

"You woman, you are simply repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Yes, considering you are a good official, we are willing to let you go, but we didn't expect you to... Humph!"

"If we had known you would be like this, we would not have shown you mercy."

Xia Meng was speechless, "Even if you don't show mercy, you can't beat me!"

"Please, I didn't break any of your bones because you were so polite to me. If you were rude to me right from the start and didn't break a few of your bones, I would be doing myself a disservice."

After hearing what Xia Meng said, these people wanted to refute, but the dull pain in their bodies reminded them that Xia Meng was right, she really could do it, and she was not just talking big or trying to scare them.

They could only blush to hide their embarrassment and stare at Xia Meng unyieldingly before being taken into the police's car.

Xia Meng looked at the sheriff and said, "I'm leaving first. Call me if you have anything."

Sheriff, "Okay!"

Xia Meng drove away directly.

That evening, the people from the Physical Evidence Department extracted DNA from the cigarette butt provided by Xia Meng. They immediately organized everyone within five kilometers of the crime scene, collected DNA from them one by one, and began to make comparisons.

Unfortunately, it didn't match.

But this may also indirectly confirm Xia Meng's guess that this DNA may really be the murderer's.

Because if the cigarette was smoked by someone near the crime scene, it is possible, but after comparing people within five kilometers, it could not be found. This can only mean that people from other places came here to smoke, and then threw away the cigarette butts at will after smoking.

Who comes all the way here to smoke?

They also visited and investigated, and found that because of the big earthquake, no one came to visit relatives and there were no strangers nearby.

As a result, the police began to expand the scope of collection, hoping to find someone who matched the DNA in this way.

This is a considerable workload, but there is no other way. The crime rate is really high right now, and no matter how tiring or difficult it is, they have to catch that perverted serial killer.

The next day, Xia Meng received a call from the sheriff.

The two discussed the case for a while on the phone.

After discussing the case, Xia Meng asked the sheriff,

"Those robbers, when are you going to act?"

Sheriff, "Our people have already infiltrated and are investigating the situation inside, but..."

The sheriff said with some embarrassment, "Our people found a lot of disaster victims inside, all of whom were captured by them. If we don't rescue them first, they will definitely take them as hostages."

This is for sure, otherwise, those robbers would not have been able to feed those disaster victims for nothing.

Those disaster victims are the escape route they prepared for themselves. When they are besieged, they will use those disaster victims as shields and hostages to threaten the authorities and prevent them from taking any rash actions.

The authorities care about the safety of the victims, but the robbers don't.

Sheriff, "It's not difficult to defeat the gang of robbers, but the difficult part is how to rescue the civilians in the den of robbers first."

As long as the hostages are rescued, the remaining robbers will not be a concern. It will not be easy to deal with them.

Although the robbers had weapons, could they be as good as the official ones? Were the official ones sufficient?

Xia Meng nodded, agreeing with the sheriff's words, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go back first, call me if there is anything."

Sheriff, "Okay!"

Xia Meng drove back to the tent where she lived. In a few days, she would be able to move into the newly built house.

The tent had been replaced with a new one by Ruan Feng, and the furnishings inside remained the same as before. After a simple wash, Xia Meng half-lay in her quilt. The howling north wind outside was as frightening as the roar of a demon, but it was warm inside the tent. Enjoying the tranquility of this little world gave Xia Meng a different kind of tranquility.

The quilt was very warm, making Xia Meng feel completely relaxed, and she fell asleep soon.

The next day, although Xia Meng was still a little sleepy, her long-term biological clock had developed the habit of getting up early.

After Xia Meng got up, washed and went to eat first.

After dinner, Xia Meng immediately got down to work.

Ruan Feng came to Xia Meng to report his work.

"Governor, we don't have much food left in stock. We can only last for a month at most."

Xia Meng frowned, "Is it consumed so quickly?"

Ruan Feng sighed, "Because the people we rescued are not only from Tangzhou, but also many disaster victims from neighboring states who came to Tangzhou. We also rescued them, so the food was naturally consumed quickly."

Xia Meng, "What does the agricultural department say? And what do the people at the farm product company say?"

Ruan Feng, "The official farm we built will have a batch of grains that will mature in half a month, so they can supply us. They are also in contact with the farm product company, hoping to purchase the farm product company's grains, but..."

Ruan Feng glanced at Xia Meng when he said this, "That..."

Xia Meng looked at Ruan Feng and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Ruan Feng, "Some agricultural product companies took the opportunity to raise prices! They said...if the price we gave them was not satisfactory, they would sell the grain somewhere else."

Xia Meng, "But didn't we sign an agreement with them?"

Ruan Feng: "They have expanded very quickly in recent years. We haven't had time to sign agreements with some of their new farms yet."

Xia Meng was a little unhappy, "How do you do things? What did I tell you at the beginning?"

Ruan Feng lowered his head and didn't dare to refute. It wasn't Ruan Feng's fault. It was mainly because the people below made mistakes.

Although Xia Meng repeatedly ordered to sign an agreement with the people from the farm product company to purchase all the agricultural products.

But some people think it doesn't matter, it won't be a problem until later, but now it has happened...

Xia Meng's tone was unusually serious and heavy.

"We can't just let this go. We need to punish them severely!"

Ruan Feng kept nodding, "Yes!"

The weather is cold and the disaster victims have a lot to eat. We must not allow those farm product companies to raise prices, Xia Meng thought.

"Contact me the people from the farm products company. I want to meet them!"

Ruan Feng, "Yes, I'll contact them right away!"
