"You bastard, you dare to beat me? I'll kill you…" Hu Dahai was still protesting. Eventually, he was reduced to moans and grunts as he laid on the ground. It was a pathetic sight.
The villagers cheered at this cathartic experience, though some of them looked worried.
Hu Dahai's brother-in-law was the superintendent of the local police station in town and everyone regarded him with fear. It was bad news to cross him.
Twenty minutes passed quickly.
An ear-splitting police siren was heard at the entrance to the village. Three police cars drove in one after another. A squad of police officers hopped off the cars and rushed toward the crowd.
The one leading the squad was a fifty-something-year-old tall and thin man. He was dressed in a police uniform and looked unfriendly.
"Move aside! Everyone, get out of the way!"
