Hitting someone through a book, yet the person being hit will be injured, but no trace of the injury can be seen from the outside—what an amazing technique!
He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and looked up following the fist. He saw the owner of the fist—Xu Moran.
Xu Moran did not avoid his gaze, just as she was before him, gracefully and generously letting Zheng Heping see her.
"Xu Moran!" Zheng Heping's face was contorted with pain, "You, as a police officer, dared to break the law and use vigilante justice against me! I will not let you get away with this!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen pushed the door open and came in. Xu Moran was playing with the book in his hand and asked Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, you were here the whole time. Did I use any form of torture on this gentleman?"
When Xiao Chen placed Xu Moran's water glass next to her, he quickly shook his head. "No, Sister Xu, who is the shameless person who said such things? We are enforcing the law in a civilized manner. If anyone dares to say that we are using vigilante justice, I, Chen Shuai, will be the first to not let him off the hook. I will beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"
Zheng Heping shuddered. What kind of police were these? How could they be so barbaric and violent? A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. No matter how powerful and successful he was in the government, he was now on someone else's turf.
In order to avoid suffering as much as possible, and in order to be able to leave this place full of savagery and violence, he decided to become a bear.
“Officer Chen,” Zheng Heping spoke again, noticing that his mouth hurt even more. It must have been the punch Xu Moran had thrown earlier that had affected other nerves in his body. “You’ve misunderstood. While you were getting water, Officer Xu was very kind to me.”
Xu Moran feigned surprise, her voice calm and unhurried, "Then how come I just heard someone say they were going to sue me for abusing my power?"
Zheng Heping tried to make his eyes bigger and bigger, because only in this way could he show that what he was about to say was from the bottom of his heart.
"No, I absolutely did not say that, Officer Xu. You must have been too tired from work and misheard me just now."
Damn, someone like him, who didn't have a good background or any elders to rely on, managed to get to where he is today not only because of his own abilities, but also because of his silver tongue.
Lying against one's conscience is so trivial that it's not even worth mentioning.
It's not uncommon to describe a dead person as alive.
In short, whether it's his impromptu speech or his carefully prepared remarks, there's more fluff than substance.
In other words, his ability to lie with his eyes closed was already superb. However, just when he thought he could get away with it and make Xu Moran and Chen Shuai stop arguing, Xu Moran spoke up after he said those threatening words.
She was asking Zheng Heping, "Are you sure you really didn't say that?"
Zheng Heping shook his head seriously, "Officer Xu, I really didn't say that!"
Having witnessed Xu Moran's prowess, Zheng Heping didn't dare to mention that she had misheard him earlier.
He experienced firsthand what it means to be like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express his suffering. After living for thirty-two years, he finally understood it personally.
Someone knocked on the door from the outside. "Xiao Chen, someone claiming to be Zheng Heping's mother is here."
Xiao Chen looked at Xu Moran, as if asking for Xu Moran's opinion.
Xu Moran picked up his water glass. "Xiao Chen, Mr. Zheng is a government official, not a criminal. Of course, his mother is here to pick him up."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
Fortunately, the door was open; fortunately, Zheng's mother's voice was loud enough; fortunately, Xu Moran reacted quickly to the sound and dodged; otherwise, it would have definitely hit them directly.
Despite her slender frame and years of hard work, Zheng's mother possessed astonishing strength. If Xu Moran were to be bumped in the face by her, he would truly be unable to withstand it.
In Zheng's mother's eyes, there was no one but her precious son. She rushed into the interrogation room, hesitated for only three seconds, and then ran to Zheng Heping's side, hugging him tightly. Her wailing almost shook the lights off the ceiling.
"My son, my good son, what happened to you?" Zheng's mother lived up to her reputation as a notorious shrew in the village. She was ruthless when she felt sorry for her son, and even more so when she started scolding him. "My son, tell your mother who beat you up like this. Even if it costs me my old life, I will get justice for you!"
Zheng's mother was still cursing. Don't underestimate this old lady just because she never went to school and can't even read a single word. When she starts cursing, she uses all sorts of foul language.
Xu Moran didn't listen anymore. She went out and returned to her office. She could still hear Zheng's mother's angry curses. In a short time, she had started cursing the ancestors of the person who beat her son like this.
Xu Moran let out a soft sigh. One person does what they have to do with their ancestors, what does it have to do with their ancestors? Especially their ancestors for eighteen generations.
The ancestors of that brave man who intervened were unwittingly caught in the crossfire.
She heard a text message notification in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was from Xiao Chen. It was just one sentence: "Sister Xu, my master was right. You guessed it perfectly. Zheng Heping was beaten up like this, but his mother still recognized him."
Xu Moran thought for a moment and sent Xiao Chen a text message: "Take care of yourself."
I put my phone back in my pocket and went upstairs to my office.
Now that he had accepted the mission to go to S City, Xu Moran planned to do some research. For security reasons, the office computers at his workplace were not allowed to access the internet, especially Baidu search.
Xu Moran took out his phone, about to open the all-powerful Baidu.
Someone outside the office was calling her, "Officer Xu."
Xu isn't a common surname; in the B City Police Department, she's the only one there. She went to the office door to see who was calling her.
The person who called her was actually a colleague from the interrogation department. Xu Mo asked him, "What's the matter?"
The colleague from the interrogation department scratched his head sheepishly, "Officer Xu, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
After being asked for help twice in quick succession, Xu Moran, who was used to an ordinary life, seemed a little surprised. What was going on? Could it be that, without her noticing, a sign of being willing to help others had appeared above her head again?
Despite the surprise, Xu Moran was still very willing to help her colleague. "What can I do to help you with?"
---Aside---
Kids, guess who beat Zheng Heping?
