Li Xiangdong stopped and looked back, only to see two young men in police uniforms walking towards him.
One of them was even an acquaintance!
That man was Niu Guang's sworn brother, the former police officer Xiao Hao from the Wudahe Commune Police Station!
Wasn't he fired?
Why are you still wearing your police uniform?
Officer Xiao Hao was taken aback when he saw Li Xiangdong, and then a strange smile appeared on his lips.
His face was serious as he walked up to Li Xiangdong. "Someone just reported you for causing trouble at the market. Come back to the station with us!"
Before Li Xiangdong could do anything, Li Lan and Zhang Huan were already pale with fright. Zhao Sufang looked alright, standing between Li Xiangdong and Officer Hao like a mother lion protecting her cubs.
"Who reported it? Wei Changrong and Xu Lixin?"
Li Xiangdong's complete indifference and nonchalant attitude ignited the fury of Officer Hao.
Last time, because of Niu Guang's matter, he was directly dismissed from his public office by Chen Yigan. This time, he was no longer a small policeman in the commune, and he had to avenge himself.
"Never mind who reported it. Xiao Chen, get the handcuffs, cuff them and take him away!"
Li Xiangdong knew this was to vent Wei Changrong's anger, so he didn't put up any pointless resistance. Xiao Chen obediently took out a silver bracelet from his waist and neatly put it on Li Xiangdong.
Zhao Sufang, fiercely protective of her son, grabbed Li Xiangdong's arm to prevent the police from taking him away. Xiao Hao, annoyed that her pulling and tugging was delaying his business, pushed Zhao Sufang, sending her sprawling.
Li Xiangdong's expression immediately turned cold. He said to Li Zhen, "Eldest sister, take Mother and the children home. Don't worry about anything! Fourth sister, go find Uncle Yan. He knows what to do!"
Amidst a crowd of onlookers pointing and whispering, Li Zhen helped Zhao Sufang up, instructed Li Lan to take the others home, and then hurriedly went to find Director Yan and Huang Guimei.
Li Xiangdong was pushed into the sidecar and quickly locked in the interrogation room.
He sat on the cold bench, his hands cuffed together. The interrogation room was empty, but the sounds of interrogating a thief could be heard coming from the next room...
Li Xiangdong sat idly for a while, pondering when to take the money to buy mahogany furniture from Huaiguo Old Shop in Shanghai. He planned to build a house in the spring, and he liked courtyard houses, so he needed to draw up a rough plan in advance...
"I'll build a big courtyard then, plant flowers and vegetables," Li Xiangdong thought, and laughed out loud.
Little Chen, who was secretly watching him from the side, was very puzzled. The silly boy was locked up, yet he was still grinning from ear to ear!
He went back to his office and told Xiao Hao, "Captain Hao, this kid isn't scared at all, he's laughing to himself!"
Wei Changrong and Xu Lixin were still sitting in the office. Wei Changrong said, "Brother Hao, what's the deal with this?"
Sensing Wei Changrong's dissatisfaction, Xiao Hao stood up eagerly, "Come on! I'll go and vent your anger for you!"
"Snap~ Splash~"
The lock on the interrogation room door was opened, and Xiao Hao walked in with a cold smile, followed by Wei Changrong and Xu Lixin, who were winking at each other.
"Smack—"
Li Xiangdong was slapped on the back of the head.
Instead of getting angry, Li Xiangdong laughed, "That's quite impressive!"
Xiao Hao shook his numb hand and then slapped him hard on the head again!
The crisp sound sent a chill down Wei Changrong's spine. Xiao Hao was ruthless!
"Li Xiangdong, last time you caused me to be fired from Wudaohe Police Station by Chen Yigan. You didn't expect this, did you? I turned misfortune into good fortune and got promoted!"
As he spoke, another slap landed!
Li Xiangdong spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, yelling, "You son of a bitch, who the hell are you to call your father?!"
Xiao Hao laughed in exasperation, stubbornly refusing to admit it, and turned to call out to Wei Changrong and Xu Lixin, "Why don't you two warm up a bit? Loosen your wrists!"
Xu Lixin was eager to try, but he didn't go first. He encouraged Wei Changrong next to him, "Brother Rong, let's take this opportunity to scare Li Xiangdong so that he won't dare to act arrogantly when he sees us in the future!"
Wei Changrong gritted his teeth, "We used to always fight one-on-one, fair and square. Now that his hands are cuffed, it wouldn't be honorable for us to fight him now..."
Xu Lixin rolled his eyes inwardly. "Bro, the two of us are no match for him in a one-on-one fight! Don't waste this golden opportunity; it won't come again!"
Encouraged by Xu Lixin, Wei Changrong's inner balance finally began to tilt. The two entered the interrogation room, and Wei Changrong reached out his hand, but hesitated and couldn't bring himself to strike.
Li Xiangdong glared at Wei Changrong and said, "You idiot, you cannon fodder! They're loading the gun and you're already firing!"
Xu Lixin didn't like hearing this. He gathered all his strength in his right arm and raised his right hand high...
"stop!"
With a loud bang, the iron door of the interrogation room was kicked open and slammed against the wall.
Xiao Hao was taken aback. Before he could stop smiling, he turned around to see who it was.
Xu Lixin and Wei Changrong shuddered when they saw the person who came.
Li Xiangdong squinted at the newcomers. The first person to walk in was a burly man in his forties, none other than Liu Donglai, the secretary of the Huichuan County Party Committee. Behind him was a lean, tall middle-aged man, followed by Director Yan, whose face was full of worry and anger, and Li Zhen.
"Little Hao, what are you doing!"
The lean man angrily rebuked Xiao Hao, and then subtly gave Wei Changrong a meaningful look.
If I'm not mistaken, this must be Wei Baoping, the director of the Huichuan County Public Security Bureau.
"Wei, Wei, Director Wei..."
Xiao Hao stammered and couldn't speak.
Li Xiangdong chimed in, "The three of them ganged up on me! Ouch~"
The interrogation room was eerily quiet.
Liu Donglai's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. "What exactly happened?"
Xiao Hao looked up at Wei Baoping and shuddered at the man's cold gaze. He knew that if he dared to involve Wei Changrong, he would be finished.
"I, I, he, he caused trouble at the market. Well, we brought him back first to maintain order!"
His explanation was halting and stammering.
"Is this your reason for hitting someone?"
Liu Donglai snorted coldly, pointing at Wei Changrong and Xu Lixin, who were huddled in the corner like quails, "Are these two who beat people also police officers?"
Half an hour later.
The matter is easy to investigate. Just ask Wei Changrong, Xu Lixin, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Hao separately, and you'll understand. Besides, there are witnesses that Li Zhen found.
It was Xiao Hao who abused his power and deliberately arrested Li Xiangdong to vent his anger for the bureau chief's son.
Wei Baoping was furious and kicked Wei Changrong far away!
Deputy Director Zhang has been imprisoned, and officials from his faction have all been dismissed from their posts, including Hu Shusong and Sun Zhiqing. Only he remains in office.
He worked cautiously every day, afraid that Liu Donglai would find something to use against him. Now, he had a perfect excuse to use against him!
Wei Baoping was in a panic. As things stood, Xiao Hao was beyond saving. The most important thing was to appease Li Xiangdong. As long as he didn't cause trouble, there was still room for maneuver!
