Song Minghao was so angry that his face turned red. He really wanted to quit, but he held back because of his responsibilities.
Lu Yuan couldn't stand Guo Jinglan's arrogant attitude and said sarcastically, "Oh, how come I didn't know that the police station had to listen to the secretary's wife when handling cases? When did the police station become privately owned?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I say that the police station is a privately owned institution?"
Even if Guo Jinglan were arrogant, she wouldn't dare admit to this. Nowadays, nothing is truly private; everything belongs to public entities. If this were taken too seriously, she would definitely face criticism.
Lu Yuan scoffed, "Didn't you say that the police station chief has to listen to you? Don't deny it, there are so many people here listening."
Guo Jinglan panicked and tried to argue, "What I mean is that we are the victims of the incident where my son was injured by you. The director will definitely listen to our needs."
"Ha, I didn't expect that the wife of a secretary would dare to do something but not admit it. She didn't even admit what she just said. Fine, a good man doesn't fight with a woman. I'll just consider what you just said as farts and I'll just let you go and not bother with you."
"You're the one talking nonsense! You're the one who's a fart!"
Guo Jinglan was both angry and ashamed, her old face turning bright red.
At the same time, another authoritative male voice rang out.
"How dare you! Young man, you should watch your mouth."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Han Wenzhao, who had gone to report to the director, had returned, accompanied by two middle-aged men.
A man in uniform, with a round face, big ears, and sparse hair, was clearly the director.
The other man was of medium build, slightly overweight, with a square face and slicked-back hair. He had the air of an official, and it was obvious that he was the commune secretary.
The person who just reprimanded Lu Yuan was this commune secretary.
As soon as Guo Jinglan saw her husband arrive, she immediately felt emboldened and ran up to him, grabbing him and starting to complain.
"Old Li, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have been bullied to death. They were just insulting me. Arrest them all, including the two who beat my son. Officer Song and his men have already released them. They don't respect you or the station chief at all."
Li Dongliang sized up Lu Yuan and Su Tingxiao. He had already heard that a young man was a member of the military, a battalion commander, and that the two of them had threatened to handle the matter fairly, or else they would have the county public security bureau chief preside over justice.
This might scare the useless director. So what if he's a battalion commander? In reality, he's only on the same level as him. Besides, the other guy isn't even from the local area. This local guy is just a country bumpkin.
What's the point of going to the county public security bureau chief? It just so happens that the county public security bureau chief is his old classmate. He can imagine the ridiculous sight of these two young lads complaining to his old acquaintance, only to find it all in vain, and then learning the truth and feeling resentful and powerless.
“Old Wang, take them all back. You heard it yourself. This comrade insulted my wife. He doesn’t show any unity or friendship with his comrades. He should be arrested and given a good education.”
"Okay, Secretary."
When Director Wang first heard Han Wenzhao's account of the situation, he was quite panicked and quickly went to see the Party Secretary. The Party Secretary reassured him, saying that everyone has connections and backers.
Now he acts without any restraint, arresting people whenever he's told to.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao, "Take the three of them back."
They were still somewhat wary of Su Tingxiao, after all, he was a military officer, and if he were to arrest someone, it would cause them trouble.
Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao looked at each other, stunned and unsure of what to do.
Director Wang roared, "Are you two deaf? Didn't you hear my orders?"
The two hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward. Rank is power, and they couldn't disobey their superiors' orders.
Su Tingxiao immediately stepped forward to block Lu Yuan.
"What? You still want to resist?" Li Dongliang asked, squinting his eyes.
Lu Yuan patted Su Tingxiao, signaling him to step aside.
"I wouldn't dare, I just want to ask you, what right do you have to arrest me?"
Hearing him say he dared not, Director Wang assumed he was backing down and scared. He sneered, "Why should I arrest you? Don't you know the answer in your heart?"
Lu Yuan shrugged. "I really don't know. You're not going to arrest me just because I said something like 'bullshit' and 'treating the secretary's wife like a fart,' are you? Oh, what kind of crime is that? Is it the crime of being ignorant or the crime of abusing one's power?"
“You… this is utterly outrageous! The Party Secretary just said that you are insulting comrades, showing no unity or friendship with them, affecting social stability, and are a cancer on society that must be eradicated.”
"Oh, so it's a fabricated charge. When you're determined to find fault, you can always find a pretext!"
Lu Yuan's tone was like that of an opera singer, full of sarcasm.
Director Wang was so angry that his face turned ashen. Li Dongliang and Guo Jinglan were no better off, their eyes glaring at Lu Yuan as if they were poisoned.
"Old Wang, why waste words with him? Just arrest him," Li Dongliang said impatiently.
Arrest him, teach him a lesson, and see if he dares to be so arrogant again.
"Yes, Secretary."
Director Wang personally stepped forward and even tried to put a silver bracelet on Lu Yuan's wrist.
"Wait!" Lu Yuan shouted.
But Director Wang wouldn't listen at all. He decided not to waste any more words with him and grabbed Lu Yuan's hand to put the silver bracelet on his wrist.
How could Lu Yuan let him wear the bracelet? With a flick of his wrist, the silver bracelet was on Director Wang's hands with a snap. The movement was so fast that no one else saw it clearly except for Su Tingxiao.
Lu Yuan put the bracelet on the man, spun him around, kicked him in the buttocks, and then lunged towards the Party Secretary and his wife.
"Aaaaaaah!" Guo Jinglan screamed and dodged away.
Li Dongliang also subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Ouch! That hurts so much!"
Director Wang knelt on the ground with both knees on the ground, his old buttocks sticking up high.
Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao quickly stepped forward to help their director up, but the corners of their mouths twitched violently, as if they wanted to smile but were trying their best to restrain themselves.
Nurse Yu, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and her shoulders were shaking.
She really didn't want to laugh, afraid of offending people, but she just couldn't help it. So she could only hide in a corner, trying to minimize her presence.
"You've gone too far! How dare you resist arrest? Your crime is compounded."
Li Dongliang's hand was trembling as he pointed at Lu Yuan, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
At this moment, Director Wang was also helped up and had his silver bracelet removed. Standing at a distance, he pointed at him and repeated, "Resisting arrest is an even more serious crime."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "What arrest? That's not true. I'm doing this for your own good. If you really arrest me, you'll be in big trouble."
"What arrogance! Who do you think you are, making us suffer? What makes you think you can act with impunity? Is it the county public security bureau chief or your ignorance? Hahaha, let me tell you, the county public security bureau chief is my old classmate."
