"I need to get my medicine kit! It contains first-aid herbs and acupuncture needles! In case... in case my young friend Xu Kuo gets injured, I can give him some emergency treatment! Hurry! There's no time to lose!"
Watching Yang Zijie's figure disappear into the distance, Zhang Zhihe dared not delay any longer. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and continued to run wildly toward the town's police team!
...
The entrance to the town's public security team's office.
"Comrade! Comrade! Please! Let me in! I need to find Captain Sheng Xu! It's urgent! It's a matter of life and death!"
Zhang Zhihe clung to the tightly closed wooden door frame, gasping for breath as he roared hoarsely.
The young policeman standing guard at the entrance frowned and stopped him warily: "What are you doing? What are you shouting about? Captain Sheng is in a meeting inside! If you have something to say, go register over there!" He pointed to a small window next to him.
"We can't wait any longer! Comrade! We really can't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, someone will die!"
Zhang Zhihe's eyes were red with anxiety, and he almost knelt down. "It's Wang Ming! Secretary Wang from the town! He's bringing his thugs, Heizi, to harm people! Please!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The gatekeeper's face darkened, and he reached out to shove Zhang Zhihe.
"How dare you call Secretary Wang by his name like that? And you've brought thugs to harm people? You look like a troublemaker! Get out of here! Or I won't be polite!" *Is this guy out of his mind? How dare he talk about Secretary Wang like that?*
"Sheng Xu!! Captain Sheng!! Help!!! Wang Ming is going to kill someone!!!"
Zhang Zhihe went all out, using his last bit of strength to shout hoarsely into the courtyard!
That shout was earth-shattering!
"What's all the noise outside!"
A stern voice rang out from inside the courtyard, followed by footsteps. Sheng Xu strode out, carrying two bars and one star on his shoulder; he was none other than Sheng Xu, the captain of the police team.
Sheng Xu recognized Zhang Zhihe at the door immediately, and his brows furrowed deeply: "Zhang Zhihe? Why aren't you at home taking good care of your wife? What are you yelling about here for?"
When the gatekeeper saw Sheng Xu come out, he was so frightened that he immediately stood at attention and saluted, no longer daring to stop Zhang Zhihe.
"Captain Sheng!!" Zhang Zhihe rushed over as if he had seen a savior, grabbed Sheng Xu's arm, and cried out incoherently.
"Help! Captain Sheng! Wang Ming... Wang Ming, along with that damned Blackie and a dozen or so guards, have surrounded my brother Xu Kuo in my yard! They're going to kill him! Brother Xu Kuo offended them while trying to save me! Please go and save him! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"
"What?!" Sheng Xu's expression changed drastically, and his pupils contracted sharply!
Wang Ming?! Hei Zi?! Committing a crime in broad daylight with his security team?!
He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation!
That black guy is a ruthless character with blood on his hands!
As for Wang Ming, he remembered him as the town's Party Secretary, but how could he possibly commit murder?
However, this matter concerns Xu Kuo, especially since he had previously wronged Xu Kuo and still felt guilty, so he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
"Outrageous! This is utterly lawless!" Sheng Xu roared, and without hesitation, waved his hand sharply to the team members who came out after hearing the noise: "Emergency assembly! Grab your weapons! Come with me to see what's going on."
...
The silence was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps.
Sheng Xu, accompanied by five or six police officers with batons and serious expressions, rushed to the Zhang family's courtyard, following Zhang Zhihe who was anxious and almost out of breath.
Before even entering the courtyard, Zhang Zhihe opened his throat and roared with all his might, his voice filled with sobs and anger.
"Wang Ming! Wang Chengxiang! You beasts! Stop! Don't you dare touch my brother Xu Kuo! Captain Sheng is here!! The police are here!!!"
He thought that if he rushed in, he would see Xu Kuo being beaten to the point of death, or being surrounded and attacked in a terrible scene!
Whoosh!
Filled with immense tension and anger, the group rushed into the Zhang family's small courtyard!
Then……
Everyone was petrified.
The courtyard was eerily quiet.
The expected bloody fight, fierce battle, and painful groans... were all absent!
There was a young man dressed in clean old clothes, sitting leisurely, even comfortably, on a worn-out wooden chair, with his legs crossed high and playing with something in his hand.
Xu Kuo appeared as calm and collected as if he were sunbathing in his own backyard.
And directly in front of him...
On the ground, a huge mass of people knelt down!
The two leading figures were none other than Wang Ming and Wang Chengxiang, the father and son who Zhang Zhihe had just been cursing! But now, where was the slightest trace of their usual arrogance? They were both bruised and swollen, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their clothes torn, looking like two stray dogs, their heads buried deep in the ground, their bodies trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind!
Behind them, the dozen or so menacing security guards were now all crestfallen, kneeling on the ground in fear, not daring to even breathe loudly!
Further away, in a corner of the courtyard, lay an exceptionally burly man with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling slightly. He was clearly unconscious. This was none other than Hei Zi, the underground boxing fighter whom Zhang Zhihe and Sheng Xu both feared!
"This...this...this..."
Zhang Zhihe was dumbfounded. He looked at Xu Kuo, who was sitting leisurely, then at Wang Ming and the others kneeling on the ground, and at Hei Zi, whose fate was unknown. He was shocked beyond measure.
His next words were abruptly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.
What... what's going on here?
Wasn't he here to rescue people?
But it seems Xu Kuo doesn't need his help, which is quite amusing.
Sheng Xu and the police officers he brought were also dumbfounded, looking at each other with shock and disbelief in their eyes.
You must be mistaken. Wasn't it said that Xu Kuo was besieged?
This...this situation looks like Xu Kuo single-handedly took down Secretary Wang and all his men.
And it was a one-sided crushing victory?!
That guy... just lay there like that?
In the silence, Xu Kuo slowly raised his eyelids and saw Zhang Zhihe, whose face was blank, and Sheng Xu, who was equally shocked. He smiled.
Xu Kuo lazily raised his foot and gently kicked Wang Ming, who was kneeling at the front, with the tip of his shoe.
"Ugh..." Wang Ming shuddered violently, looked up in horror, and saw Sheng Xu with a livid face and several policemen holding batons. He was so scared that he almost peed himself on the spot!
It's over! It's completely over!
Even the police were alerted!
You have to understand that he had gone to great lengths to cultivate connections with the police, and with connections at higher levels, those who dared to report him to the police would not succeed.
This is why Sheng Xu was unaware that Wang Ming was committing evil deeds.
