At the exact moment Gao Huaping gasped, Liu Dafu and the others felt the same thought strike them simultaneously: Could this permit actually be real?
Lin Zhensheng and his family instinctively turned their eyes toward Liu Dafu. After a moment of deep thought, Liu Dafu gave them a slight nod, signaling them to stay calm. He then turned his gaze toward Gao Huaping, who was holding the permit. The next words out of Gao’s mouth would determine whether they could arrest Lin Moyang immediately.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. However, he believed that since Gao Huaping was the director of the Pojiao Supply and Marketing Cooperative and had received instructions from their powerful elder leader, he would certainly share the same objective. Even if the permit were real, Gao would surely declare it a forgery. Once Lin Moyang was locked away, they could simply burn the document and produce a fake one to replace it. Then, using necessary means, they would force Lin Moyang to confess. With the mountains high and the emperor far away, would the director of the county’s Supply and Marketing Cooperative really come all the way to find Lin Moyang? Once enough time passed, the whole matter would blow over.
