"You're still trying to be a hero in front of everyone! If I don't arrest you today, wouldn't I be setting a negative example for Pingxu Village?" Deputy Director Song insisted on his official tone.
"Deputy Director Song is so authoritative. You say I'm a negative example?" Kong Xiuyao mocked. He bent down slightly to avoid the police who pounced on him.
Then, he kicked the Black Bull in the chest again!
Kong Xiuyao thought to himself, "I can't beat up the police but I can beat you up!"
The Black Bull only felt a sudden pain in its chest, as if its chest had been ruthlessly smashed by a sledgehammer, directly splitting it in half. It took a long time to recover.
He lay on the ground and clutched his chest, not forgetting to put on a performance. "Everyone saw it! Kong Xiuyao hit someone in front of the police!"
"It's not assault," Kong Xiuyao explained calmly. "It's self-defense."
He was like a ghost. He was clearly standing under the roof, but these police officers could not catch him no matter what. They felt a breeze in their hands just as they were about to touch the corner of Kong Xiuyao's clothes.
In less than 10 minutes, seven or eight policemen were panting with exhaustion. They propped themselves on their knees and panted. They did not have the strength to move another step.
The eight of them couldn't even catch one person. Deputy Director Song was embarrassed and said angrily, "A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even catch a person! If you let him escape again, take off your clothes and leave!"
"Beep, beep!"
At this moment, two loud horns interrupted the confrontation.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound in unison. They saw two semi-old Volkswagen sedans driving over from not far away before slowly stopping in front of Kong Xiuyao's house.
The two Volkswagens were covered in a layer of yellow dust. There was no point in looking at them in terms of appearance or model. They weren't even as good as the police cars Deputy Sung had driven.
Humans were good at judging people by their appearance, and the villagers lost interest in the identity of the person who came. After all, they had seen Zhong Zunshi's Land Rover yesterday. Could the person who came be a match for the deputy director of the police station?
What the villagers did not notice was that when Deputy Director Song saw the car, he hurriedly put on his sleeves and buttoned them up to the top. He had changed from a tyrant to a public servant!
Even though Kong Xiuyao could not see the situation outside, from Deputy Director Song's performance, he knew that Qiu Lingruo had returned with her men.
"Dad, Old Shen, come out." Kong Xiuyao opened the door and let the two of them out.
As soon as Father Kong and Shen Feishang regained their freedom, they grabbed Kong Xiuyao and turned him over. As they examined him, they said, "Are you injured? I heard that there was quite a commotion just now? Did you get beaten up? Where does it hurt?"
Kong Xiuyao smiled helplessly. "I'm fine, but there's a good show to watch now."
The two of them were dumbfounded. They followed Kong Xiuyao's gaze and saw Qiu Lingruo appear. She ignored Deputy Director Song, who was blocking the door, and ran briskly to Kong Xiuyao's side. She hugged Kong Xiuyao's arm like a koala bear and shook it.
"Xiuyao, I didn't come back too late, did I?" She smiled charmingly.
"Just about right." Kong Xiuyao smiled.
Qiu Lingruo carefully observed Kong Xiuyao with her dark eyes. Even though Kong Xiuyao's breathing was calm and his expression was normal, the muscles on his arms were slightly hard. Qiu Lingruo frowned and said in surprise, "Xiuyao, you attacked?"
Her voice was not loud, but it reached Lan Chao's ears. His expression immediately turned ugly, and his movements stiffened as he got out of the car. That nearly caused him to lose his footing and almost fell beside the car.
"Director Lan, be careful!" Deputy Director Song bent his knees and ran to pick him up. He wished he could lie on the ground and become a cushion.
He was in the public security system, so he naturally knew that the person who had arrived was the director of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Lan Chao. In the past, he had heard that Lan Chao had to take care of everything personally and often visited the police station below to inspect it. Presumably, he had also come for a surprise inspection today and happened to encounter him arresting someone. In order to make a good impression, he had to capture Kong Xiuyao in a dignified manner!
Before he could run closer, a hand suddenly reached out from inside the car and grabbed Lan Chao. "Uncle-Master, be careful."
A handsome man in a black suit with a straight face and a high nose bridge and thin lips supported Lan Chao. Even though his looks were slightly inferior to Kong Xiuyao's, he was as beautiful as a model.
When he came down, he was still carrying a cloth bag.
"Let's go in and take a look first!" Lan Chao was impatient! Letting his master make a move was his disciple's greatest dereliction of duty. Lan Chao did not dare to delay for a moment!
Immediately after, a few people got out of the car one after another. Some of them were wearing police uniforms and had chief inspector-level epaulets. There were also people from the prosecutor's office and the court. Not many people came, but they were all of high rank.
Assistant Director Song's palms were sweating. "Oh my god! What day is it today? A village inspection? I have to perform well!"
He forced a smile and saluted everyone. "Welcome to all leaders' for your inspection. May I know what brings you here?"
Lan Chao's face was ashen. He got angry when he saw him and walked past him.
Deputy Director Song was not as tall as him and did not notice his expression for a moment. He fell behind like a tail and introduced the situation eagerly.
"Today's situation is special. We encountered criminals who caused trouble and resisted arrest, so we didn't stay in the institute to receive you. Our director is on a business trip overseas, so I have to do everything personally. Please forgive me for neglecting you."
Lan Chao saw Kong Xiuyao under the eaves and heard Deputy Director Song's nonsense. His hands were trembling, and he wanted to go up and cover his dog mouth!
However, Kong Xiuyao did not mind. He only gave Lan Chao a look that meant, "Do as you see fit."
Lan Chao understood and turned around with a cold expression. "You said he caused trouble. What's the evidence? Where are the search warrant and arrest warrant? Your director used to handle cases prepared with these documents in hand."
Deputy Director Song didn't expect him to ask this question. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot to bring it in a hurry. Someone has already gone back to get it."
"Nonsense!" Lan Chao suddenly turned hostile. "Your way of doing things is simply a disgrace to law enforcement agencies!"
"You… What are you talking about… I'll definitely take note next time!" Deputy Song was like a rolling knife, smiling at everything he heard.
Lan Chao was completely furious. "Song Xingming! You still don't repent at this point! We have the evidence of your abuse of power and corruption! You won't have a next time! There will only be punishment waiting for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in the suit threw the cloth bag at Deputy Director Sung's feet. The information contained inside was revealed. It was a screenshot of a text message asking for money.
Deputy Director Sung's smile froze. There was a bang in his brain, and he felt his blood flow backward and his back turn cold.
His first reaction was to struggle a little more, but he saw that all the high officials led by Lan Chao walked towards Kong Xiuyao and bowed respectfully!
Lan Chao said, "I'm really sorry. Our negligence has caused you and your friend a lot of trouble. Please forgive us!"
