Chapter 1218 638: Picking Someone Up (Part 3)
"Look, you're saying that too. What else can I do for a living? Besides, my operation is legitimate, I have a business license, it won't be shut down."As soon as the words fell, a group of uniformed officers entered from outside, led by one with a peaked cap, who shouted in their direction: "Who is Zhu Xingyun?"
Uncle's son was stunned for a moment, then replied nervously: "I... I'm the one. What's the matter?"
The officer with the cap said sternly: "We received reports from the public that you are stockpiling hazardous chemicals here. We need to conduct an on-site search now and hope for your cooperation."
Zhu Xingyun's face changed immediately. He wanted to argue, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and just stood there pale-faced.
The law enforcement team ignored him and headed straight to the back of the house. They clearly had accurate intelligence, as the small workshop was indeed set up on the vacant lot behind the uncle's house.
Chen Feng and Granny Ying were both dumbfounded, with Granny Ying even covering her mouth subconsciously, realizing she might have jinxed it earlier.
The usually wooden uncle could only feel anxious at this point.
Zhu Xingyun was the first to react and hurriedly followed them to the workshop behind the house.
Uncle also quickly followed, and after exchanging a glance with Chen Feng, Granny Ying said, "Let's go take a look too," and led the way to the back.
Before long, they arrived at the back and saw a group of officers taking photos, recording videos, and doing registration work at the site.
"The accumulation of so much xylene (banana oil) here has created a major safety hazard. I now represent..."
The lead officer with the peaked cap gave Zhu Xingyun an on-the-spot punishment and rectification order.
Caught red-handed, Zhu Xingyun could only accept the punishment with his head down, agreeing to rectify it.
It was only then that Chen Feng realized Zhu Xingyun was in the banana oil business, which is flammable, explosive, and toxic, considered a hazardous chemical.
Now, Zhu Xingyun had piled up no fewer than twenty or thirty large plastic barrels of this stuff behind his house in a makeshift workshop, each barrel about the size of a large oil drum. The sight made Chen Feng's scalp tingle, and he wanted to leave immediately. Zhu Xingyun had previously planned to transport this stuff directly out of state for sale, so it's no wonder the traffic police found and confiscated it; Qin Zhen's mother not helping him was quite normal.
Seeing this, Chen Feng definitely didn't want to stick around, so he quickly turned and headed out of the workshop. Granny Ying, upon hearing the officers' words and coupled with the unpleasant smell inside the workshop, scared immediately, pulled her little granddaughter, and hurried outside.
It wasn't until they reached the front of uncle's house again that Chen Feng stopped, unable to help but sigh internally; this task of picking people up was indeed tricky.
"Granny Ying, do you think we should still take Uncle over for the banquet? Or should I call Ah Zhen and tell him about this?"
Chen Feng first sought the opinion of Qin Zhen's aunt.
Originally, Uncle didn't want to attend the banquet, and now with this incident at home, he's even less likely to go.
"Hang on, let me make a call."
Granny Ying said, taking out her phone and walking aside to make a call.
Not long after, Uncle came out of the house, surprisingly in a relatively clean new outfit, appearing ready to attend the banquet after all.
Chen Feng was initially dumbfounded, but quickly understood. He didn't ask much, opened the car door, and after the three got in, drove straight back to the county town.
