Chapter 230 Alley Bullying

Chapter 230 Alley Bullying

Yan Lang picked up the drink bottle and took a long sip. He said, "Don't worry, I'm telling you. I heard that the squad leader's father not only ran away with the money, but he also had a mistress outside, and that mistress even gave birth to a child for his father."

"Is this true?"

This is something Zhou Yi didn't know in his previous life.

"Anyway, I heard it from Binzi, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Xu Junjie couldn't help but sigh, "How could this man turn so bad so easily once he got rich? Not only did he have a mistress and an illegitimate child, but he also betrayed his own son and ran off with the mistress, taking the money. Is that something a human being would do?"

Old Yan held out his hand and said, "Hey, you're really wrong about that. His father ran away on his own, not even taking the mistress and the illegitimate child with him. It's said that the mistress ran to Hongcheng with the child to find the squad leader and his mother, saying that she wanted to divide the family property. But after hearing that the squad leader's father was in debt and took away all the money, the mistress ran away overnight."

"This old guy is so ruthless, he doesn't want anything but money?" Xu Junjie said in surprise.

"Anyway, that's what Binzi said. His mother works in the same unit as the squad leader's mother, so it's probably true."

"Was the squad leader taken away in the provincial capital?" Zhou Yi asked.

Old Yan shook his head. "Then I don't know. Anyway, they say his mother went to the provincial capital and hasn't come back since. Hey, what's going on? Life was so carefree, and it turned out like this in an instant."

Indeed, it feels like suddenly falling from heaven to hell.

Although Zhou Yi knew that the squad leader did not go to jail, it was likely that he was completely unaware of the company's illegal fundraising. In the end, the majority of the responsibility should be borne by his father, the actual controlling shareholder.

However, the squad leader will definitely suffer a lot during this process.

No wonder we didn’t hear any news about him later despite him being a good student in high school. It seemed like he had disappeared.

However, from the criminal police's intuition, the squad leader's father not only abandoned his wife and children, but also the young and beautiful mistress and illegitimate child. This is very suspicious.

Moreover, it is impossible for someone to run away with cash when committing an economic crime involving such a huge amount of money, and the flow of funds can definitely be traced.

Unless it is laundered abroad through underground banks.

In this case, it is really unreasonable that the mistress and the illegitimate child were not sent away in advance.

But the case in the provincial capital is still under the jurisdiction of the Economic Investigation Department. I can't help much and it's not appropriate for me to inquire about it.

"I hope the squad leader can escape from this suffering as soon as possible." Zhou Yi sighed.

The other two were also silent, leaving only sighs.

"Let's talk about something happy," Xu Junjie said. "Look at Zhou Yi. He's so awesome now. At such a young age, he's become a representative figure of our Hongcheng police force. He has a bright future. Old Yan, we two brothers have to cling to Zhou Yi's thighs. With him around, no one will dare bully us in the future."

Old Yan nodded repeatedly. "Of course. Zhou Yi's thighs, one for you and one for me. We'll take care of them both. Zhou Yi, we have a deal."

Zhou Yi didn't say anything, just kept smiling.

Maybe not everyone in this world wants you to live a good life, but there are always some people who sincerely hope that you can get better and better, and are really happy that you are getting better.

Parents, partners, children, and some pure good friends and brothers.

Xu Junjie and Yan Lang are such friends.

"Come on, let's toast Zhou Yi with drinks instead of wine." Yan Lang said, holding up the drink bottle.

"Ping", three glass bottles collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"Zhou Yi, do you think you can become the director of your Public Security Bureau within three years?" Old Yan asked casually after showing off the remaining half bottle of drink.

"Poof——" Zhou Yi almost spit out a mouthful of Coke.

"Ahem, ahem, Old Yan, you're really overthinking it. You couldn't get promoted this fast even if you rode a rocket. What are you thinking about?"

"So what? A person should have dreams. I have already sworn that within five years, I will be the director of our factory!" Old Yan waved his hand and said confidently.

Xu Junjie said, "Come on, just be thankful that you don't pluck your factory director's wig as well."

Zhou Yi looked up and saw a few girls in school uniforms carrying backpacks in the distance. They looked like they had just finished school.

But they were pushing two girls who were also wearing school uniforms, and their attitude was obviously very bad.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Junjie asked.

The two followed Zhou Yi's gaze and saw several female students walking into the alley over there.

"You two take your time eating, I'll go over there and take a look." Zhou Yi stood up and said.

"Don't make excuses for not paying, kid." Xu Junjie said with a smile.

After Zhou Yi left, Xu Junjie looked at the many skewers left on the table and asked Yan Lang, "Old Yan, hurry up and eat them. You ordered them all."

Yan Lang stretched his neck and said, "I feel a little stretched..."

"Didn't you say you could eat eight chicken legs? Why can't you eat this much?"

"Slowly, slowly..."

Zhou Yi walked towards the alley because he suspected that the two girls were being bullied.

Although this kind of thing cannot be completely controlled, since it has happened to me, I certainly cannot stand idly by.

In the alley, five or six girls surrounded two girls, with a moss-covered red brick wall behind them.

"Zhu Xiaojuan, are you done yet? You target me and Li Chunyan all the time. Aren't you disgusting?" A girl who was surrounded angrily retorted while protecting another thin girl behind her.

The leading girl, Zhu Xiaojuan, looked arrogant: "Oh, you are so brave today, you even dare to yell at me, who gave you the courage?"

"Zhu Xiaojuan, think about how many excessive things you have done to us! How did you bring these people to bully us? Do you have the guts to admit what you have done?" The girl pointed at Zhu Xiaojuan and said.

"Oh, the sun really is rising from the west today. I admit it, what can you do to me?" As soon as Zhu Xiaojuan spoke, the other girls also laughed.

"Okay, as long as you admit it, I'll call the police now and have them arrest you." The girl said as she was about to rush out.

But he was pushed back by several people from the other side, and he crashed into the wall, getting covered in moss.

"Call the police on me? You're dreaming. I told you guys you stole my things. You stole the brand-name pen my dad bought me. It's worth over 200 yuan."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who stole your pen?"

Zhu Xiaojuan reached out to grab the girl's schoolbag, but the girl held the bag tightly in her arms, and Zhu Xiaojuan failed.

Two girls next to her came up and snatched the schoolbag of Li Chunyan, who was wearing glasses. Li Chunyan wanted to take it back, but there were more people than her.

Zhu Xiaojuan took out an exquisite pencil case from her schoolbag, then took out a pen from it and stuffed it into Li Chunyan's schoolbag in a dignified manner.

The girl who was hugging her schoolbag tightly understood instantly: "Zhu Xiaojuan, are you trying to frame us?"

"So what! We're all here to prove it was you two who stole my brand-name pen," Zhu Xiaojuan said proudly, pointing to her schoolbag. "And we caught you red-handed. That's the evidence. Don't you like calling the police? Okay, go ahead and let them arrest you two thieves and put you in jail!"

"Zhu Xiaojuan, you are such a scoundrel!" the girl cursed.

Everyone laughed arrogantly, obviously they were used to this kind of thing.

"Minmin, are these your classmates?"

Suddenly, a voice behind them asked.

Zhou Yi did not hear all the conversations in the alley, he only heard that Zhu Xiaojuan wanted to frame the two of them.

Moreover, when he heard the voice, he immediately recognized that one of the girls who was surrounded was actually his cousin Zhao Min.

So these people bullied Zhao Min, which led to changes in her life. She didn't expect that she would run into a bullying scene herself.

This arrogant attitude made people furious.

He walked over immediately, but did not get angry on the spot.

"Brother?" Zhao Min was also surprised.

When the girls saw that Zhou Yi was a tall and strong adult, they immediately stopped talking.

"Minmin, why do your classmates all look so hideous? You can tell at a glance that they are not good people." Zhou Yi said with a smile, but his eyes were staring at Zhu Xiaojuan sharply.

"You..." Zhu Xiaojuan felt that this man's eyes were scarier than her teacher's, so she could only be angry but not say anything.

He turned to Zhao Min and said harshly, "You're calling for help, huh? Fine, if you've got the guts, don't run away. Wait for me!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Stop! Give Chunyan's schoolbag back to her!" Zhao Min shouted.

Zhu Xiaojuan glanced at Zhou Yi, snatched the schoolbag from a girl, and threw it to Li Chunyan.

"Stop!" Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Min called him back.

"What else do you want to do? Don't be so complacent just because someone is backing you up. If you have the guts, don't come to school tomorrow."

Zhao Min opened Li Chunyan's schoolbag, took out the pen from it and threw it on the ground, saying coldly: "Don't put your dirty things in Chunyan's schoolbag, you frame-up villain."

Zhu Xiaojuan glared at Zhao Min and turned to leave. Several girls hurriedly followed her, running towards the other end of the alley, looking back at Zhou Yi and Zhao Min from time to time.

Zhou Yi did not reveal his identity for a very simple reason, because this kind of thing is different from what Tao Cong did. Tao Cong was clearly harassing and intimidating, which is an illegal and criminal act, and he is an adult.

These girls are minors, and their actions are far from being illegal or criminal in nature.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he didn't want to use his identity as a police officer to pressure others.

However, he really didn't expect that these little girls were so arrogant that they could frame him so blatantly.

It’s a pity that it’s impossible to take pictures these days. Otherwise, if they took pictures and submitted them to the school, they would be in big trouble.

"Minmin, are you okay?" Zhou Yi asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Min suddenly stamped her feet and scolded, "Hey brother, why did you suddenly appear at this time? You ruined my good thing, do you know?"
