Zhuang Tunan worked overtime during the New Year and injured his leg. He accompanied his parents back to the alley. Although Li Jia wanted to walk with him, his family always opposed it. Lin Dongzh...

Chapter 60 The First Shot

Before Zhang Min and her two companions could even feel afraid after being blocked, the other four people opposite them, excluding the blond-haired guy, suddenly laughed. One of the tall guys said with a smile, "Third brother, where did you learn those words? They sound pretty good!"

Unexpectedly, this blond-haired guy turned out to be a complete idiot, and chuckled, "Isn't this what Dou Erdun said while I was watching TV in the warehouse?"

"Is that so?"

"yes!"

Keep up the good work next time!

"Okay, bro!"

Wu Xiaojun looked at the five burly men. Although he was a little scared, he and Zhuang Zhenbei still shielded Zhang Min behind them and said, "What do you want to do? The People's Republic of China has been established for almost fifty years, and you're still acting like bandits!"

Wu Xiaojun's tone sounded strong, but he still lacked confidence, and there was a hint of timidity on his face.

Upon hearing Wu Xiaojun's words, the blond-haired man's face immediately darkened, and he said, "Damn it, if I don't become a bandit, who will I eat and drink from?"

The tall guy behind him said again, "Damn, did Zhang Zuolin say that?"

The thugs behind him nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it was Zhang Zuolin's words."

At this moment, Zhuang Zhenbei should be the most frightened, because he has been protected by Zhuang Zhennan since he was a child. He is terrified whenever something happens and wants Zhuang Zhennan to protect him. But now he only has Wu Xiaojun and Zhang Min by his side, not Zhuang Zhennan. Naturally, he is extremely scared and so nervous that his legs are trembling. If one more harsh word is said, he might wet his pants.

Although Wu Xiaojun was somewhat timid, he was, after all, someone who wanted to be a policeman. If he was afraid, how could he be a policeman in the future? So, facing these five burly men, he remained somewhat composed and said, "Let me tell you, I called the police last night. If you're not afraid of being arrested, then don't run!"

Wu Xiaojun thought that scaring these thugs would make them disappear without a trace, but to his surprise, the blond-haired guy continued to threaten, "Who are you trying to scare? I'm not easily intimidated. Leave me all your money, and this newspaper, I'll use it as toilet paper, or I'll break your legs!"

Seeing that he couldn't intimidate the other party, Wu Xiaojun took off his open coat, handed it to Zhuang Zhenbei, and stood in front of him, striking a pose, hoping to intimidate the group again.

Wu Xiaojun's set of moves really worked. Several big men were so scared that they retreated, especially the blond guy, who blinked his eyes in fear. Luckily, the tall guy behind him was behind him, otherwise he would have run away long ago.

The tall guy said, "Third brother, what's wrong? Got scared? You always brag about how great and awesome you are, now you're turning into a turtle?"

The tall man's words were like a shot of adrenaline, and the blond-haired guy immediately changed, shouting angrily, "Pah, afraid? I've never been afraid of anyone!"

No sooner had the blond-haired guy finished speaking than a fat guy behind him suddenly said, "Wow, the third brother's got guts now! He's not the blond-haired guy his dad chased for three blocks and still wanted to beat up back then!"

Huang Mao continued, "I'm a true hero who doesn't dwell on the past, but only cares about who's braver today! Brothers, let's beat this kid up!"

At Xiao Huangmao's words, the other four men, like fierce demons, raised their steel pipes, and it looked like Zhang Min and the other two were about to be brutally beaten by the thugs!

A gunshot rang out.

Six policemen rushed over and surrounded the five thugs with pistols in hand.

As soon as the thugs saw the guns in the policeman's hands, they immediately put down their steel pipes, squatted down, and covered their heads with their hands.

Among the six policemen, one of them was the one who had been taking care of Li Yong at the hospital. He walked over to Zhang Min and the other two and said, "How are you? Not scared, are you?"

Wu Xiaojun pouted, almost bursting into tears. He said, "Thank you, police officer, otherwise we would have gotten a beating!"

The policeman said, "We live in a harmonious society now. How can we allow criminals to do evil? By the way, I heard from the captain that one of you two is going to be his apprentice. Who is it?"

Wu Xiaojun quickly raised his hand and said with a smile, "It's me, it's me, police officer!"

The policeman laughed and said, "Hehe, don't call me that, what police uncle? When you become an auxiliary police officer, we'll be colleagues!"

Wu Xiaojun scratched his head and laughed, "I haven't even taken the test yet! Thanks for your kind words, officer!"

"Alright! I'm rooting for you. That's it, I'm off!"

"Okay, goodbye, police officer!"

Only after watching the police officers walk away did the three of them feel relieved and continue walking.

Wu Xiaojun was overjoyed and, as soon as he got on his tricycle, he started singing loudly, "Exchange for rice! Exchange for rice!"

Sitting on the tricycle, Zhang Min patted Wu Xiaojun on the back and said, "What are you singing for? Disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night!"

Wu Xiaojun said happily, "It's another happy day. Helping the police catch a few bad apples is something that makes me very happy!"

"I'm happy as I am, but you still need to work hard!"

"Let's go, let's go, I won't disturb your peace, let's focus on moving forward!"

"Stop nagging, it makes you seem cultured!"

"Hey, my sister, why do you meddle in everything?!"

"I'm your older sister, can't I do something about it?"

"Yes, yes, because you're my sister! My dearest sister!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they reached the fourth turn. They walked straight ahead for a short distance and arrived home safely.

However, at the intersection of the alley, two armed auxiliary police officers, their faces covered, blocked their way. One of them said, "Stop and submit to inspection!"

When Wu Xiaojun saw that the other party had a gun, he was terrified. He got off the tricycle, his face pale with fright, but he still forced himself to ask, "Do you know who my brother-in-law is?"

The person who spoke then said, "Get out of here! I don't know your brother-in-law. Liu Jian is just a short-haired guy. Why would I know him?"

At first, Wu Xiaojun didn't recognize the person because he was too scared. But after listening to the words, he understood what was going on. The person's tone sounded like that of a friend of his brother-in-law, known as Lai Tou, who was also a hooligan. Because of his good relationship with Liu Jian, he had been assigned to the joint defense team.

Wu Xiaojun had run into his brother-in-law a few times when he visited his brother-in-law's house. Although they didn't interact, he still remembered him vividly because this guy spoke differently from others and was quite persistent!

Wu Xiaojun recognized Lai Tou's tone and smiled inwardly, but not wanting to expose him, he continued, "My brother-in-law checked on everyone at midnight last night. He asked me to do it for him. I saw that everyone was there except for Lai Tou, who was slacking off and sleeping in the power room!"

"Bullshit! Who was sleeping? I was playing cards with Erniu and the others in the warehouse. Erniu can vouch for me!"

"Alright! I'll go back and tell my brother-in-law that you went to play cards and didn't sleep, okay?"

"That won't do!"

"If that doesn't work, what else do you want?"

"You can leave now, but leave the newspapers behind and go back to the cotton mill!"

"Why should we? We haven't broken the law, and we haven't stolen anything!"

"The stuff you hauled at night is of unknown origin. We suspect it's stolen and must confiscate it!"

"You rascal, are you ever going to stop?! I'll tell my brother-in-law and get your security guards fired!"

"Who's the scoundrel? Who's the scoundrel? I'm not the scoundrel, don't wrong an innocent person!"

"If you're not Erlaitou, then who are you?"

"My name is Scarface, not Rascal!"

As he spoke, Erlaitou pulled back the bolt of his gun, as if he were about to fire.

No one knows where Wu Xiaojun got the courage, but he blocked Er Laitou's rifle with his own chest and shouted, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Seeing Wu Xiaojun's fearless demeanor in the face of death, Erlaitou became timid and said, "We want the stuff, not our lives! Get out of here!"

Both Erlaitou and Wu Xiaojun were stubborn. One wanted to shoot, and the other was fearless. They said angry words and started fighting. As they pulled and tugged at each other, a gunshot rang out!
