No matter where you go, there are always loafers and ne’er-do-wells; the village of Jing Shui is no exception.
The village Party secretary, seeing that Shui Miao was wealthy and had bought six mu of land for only 50,000 yuan, felt quite resentful about not receiving a larger share. He summoned Er Huangmao, a local ruffian, and his group of shady friends from society, plotting to stage a drama in front of Shui Miao to extort some money from him.
Initially, Shui Miao really thought it was just a group of villagers causing trouble, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were a bunch of slovenly hooligans with yellow hair. Without even asking, he could tell they were just looking for trouble. However, Shui Miao was puzzled as to why the village Party secretary Cheng Wancheng was with them. Seeing Cheng’s expression of distress, Shui Miao speculated that he might have been coerced by the hooligans.
To dare to cause trouble here, where there is an uncle present, these hooligans are truly a bunch of clueless fools.
Today, they must be properly dealt with; otherwise, they will surely come looking for trouble again in the future.
Shui Miao decided on his plan and smiled slightly, pretending to be clueless as he greeted Secretary Cheng loudly, “Secretary Cheng, why are you here? Surely you haven’t come to help me with the work?”
“No, no!” Secretary Cheng’s face turned red with embarrassment as he quickly waved his hands and ran to Shui Miao’s side, saying, “These villagers refused to let me rent the land to you, so they insisted I come here with them to reason with you. I had no choice but to come. If there’s anything, you can talk to them.”
Cheng Wancheng hid behind Shui Miao, feigning innocence.
Before Shui Miao could speak, a short man with a sleazy face named Er Huangmao swaggered forward, shaking his legs and tilting his head, saying, “Kid, are you the one who rented our village’s land?”
Er Huangmao was extremely rude, showing no respect for Shui Miao whatsoever.
A group of hooligans behind Er Huangmao were staring at Wang Xiaomi with lewd eyes, their gazes shamelessly roaming.
Seeing the hooligans’ disrespect towards him, Wang Xiaomi clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Liu and Xiao Hu, along with five or six male security guards, stepped forward. Xiao Liu stood in front of Wang Xiaomi, pointing at Er Huangmao and shouting, “What kind of person do you think you are? Watch your language; this is our general manager. If you dare to act up again, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“Anyone who disagrees can come out and fight one-on-one!”
Xiao Hu took off his shirt and threw it on the ground, clenched his fists, glared with wide eyes, and his muscles bulged.
When it came to fighting, Xiao Hu could easily handle five of these hooligans at once.
Seeing this, the dozen or so hooligans showed their ferocious faces and pulled out cleavers from behind their backs. Er Huangmao sneered at Xiao Hu, saying, “You’re just a watchdog. If you dare to touch me, my brothers will skin you alive.”
“Grandson, dare to act tough with us? Kneel down for me!”
An overconfident and arrogant young hooligan, wielding a cleaver, rushed forward to attack Xiao Hu. However, Xiao Hu was not easily frightened. When he saw the cleaver swinging towards him, he remained calm, suddenly sidestepped, grabbed the young hooligan’s arm, twisted it forcefully, causing the hooligan to let out a pig-like scream of pain, and the cleaver fell to the ground. Xiao Hu then used his arm to choke the hooligan’s neck, grabbed his hair with the other hand, and said in a deep voice, “Grandson, with just a little more force, I can break your neck.”
“Kill him!”
“Attack!”
A group of blindly arrogant hooligans, completely disregarding their comrades’ safety, rushed forward together to attack Xiao Hu…
However, two fists cannot fight against many hands, especially when the opponents were over a dozen people, each wielding a cleaver!
When the fight broke out, the few security guards were not at all afraid, quickly taking out iron pipes and knives hidden under their clothes to protect Xiao Hu.
Wang Xiaomi’s right hand reached into his jacket, pulled out a pistol, aimed it at Er Huangmao’s head, and coldly shouted, “Do you all want to die? If you don’t want to die, stop right now!”
The fight was interrupted by Wang Xiaomi.
Wang Xiaomi knew that Director Zhang was behind him, but she also knew that Director Zhang was Shui Miao’s uncle. Even if she pulled out a gun, Director Zhang would still protect her.
Seeing the gun, the young hooligans were stunned and stopped in their tracks.
Er Huangmao, however, sneered and walked towards Wang Xiaomi, saying, “Girlie, guns aren’t toys for girls. Don’t think you can scare me with a plastic gun. I’ve been on the streets for so long, I’ve seen everything. Even if you have a real gun, do you dare to fire it? If you have the guts, try shooting me in the head!”
Er Huangmao directly pressed his forehead against the gun’s muzzle.
Encountering such a reckless and shameless ruffian was indeed nerve-wracking.
Wang Xiaomi naturally dared not shoot; after all, Er Huangmao was a person, not a monster.
At this moment, the car door opened, and Director Zhang got out with a gun, directly approaching Er Huangmao and firing a shot at his feet. Then, Director Zhang shot at the feet of several other hooligans, scaring them into retreating. Er Huangmao sat on the ground holding his foot, wincing in pain.
“Call the police, call the police, someone is attacking with a gun!”
Er Huangmao suddenly shouted loudly.
Seeing this, the village Party secretary’s face turned grim as he confronted Shui Miao, saying, “How can you do this? If the police investigate, you carrying firearms could lead to serious consequences!”
“Serious consequences? I think you’ve got it backwards,” Director Zhang shook his head and took out his credentials, “You see, you can save the cost of calling the police. I am the police chief. You people are causing trouble and intentionally harming others. I will legally arrest all of you. If you don’t want to get shot, kneel down with your hands on your heads.”
“Bang! Bang…”
Director Zhang showed his authority by firing two more shots at the young hooligans, knocking the cleavers out of two of their hands.
The young hooligans were so scared that their souls seemed to fly away, and they quickly knelt down.
Director Zhang nodded at Wang Xiaomi, “Xiaomi, find a rope to tie their hands behind their backs. The police car is coming soon. Also, put away your plastic gun.” Director Zhang knew that Wang Xiaomi’s gun was real, but he was deliberately covering for her.
“Got it!”
Wang Xiaomi responded loudly, thinking that having a strong backing is really great! Never thought she could play with guns again after leaving the army, it was so exciting.
A group of young hooligans were so frightened that they obediently surrendered.
Xiao Liu and the others pounced like wolves and tigers, tying up the group of hooligans.
Er Huangmao was a bit reluctant. He saw Cheng Wancheng unharmed, smiling and chatting with Shui Miao, so he suddenly shouted, “Director, I want to atone for my crimes. I want to report Cheng Wancheng. He planned everything today. We were all invited by him. He wanted to extort money from this manager. He is the real mastermind behind this!”
“Er Huangmao, you you you, you’re slandering me!”
Cheng Wancheng panicked and his face turned pale.
“Slander you? Hmph! All these brothers of mine are witnesses. Do you still want to deny it?” Er Huangmao was also clever, turning the tables at a critical moment to reduce his own guilt.
“Yes, I can testify!”
“Director, I can also testify. Cheng Wancheng even promised each of us 500 yuan. If we extorted more, he would give us more…”
“Everyone in this group of young hooligans turned against him.”
Shui Miao looked at Cheng Wancheng and sighed, “Secretary Cheng, were you really that desperate for money?”
“I, no! They are framing me!” Cheng Wancheng refused to admit guilt, determined to argue to the end, “Director Zhang, you are a wise man. As a village Party secretary, I have a higher level of awareness. You must stand up for me! You can’t believe these hooligans and small-time thugs. I would never stoop so low as to conspire with these people!”
“Ah, Secretary Cheng is right. This time, we owe you a lot. If it weren’t for your cooperation, I couldn’t have so easily eliminated this group of pests. I’ll give you a major commendation and have a banner of appreciation sent to you,” Director Zhang smiled and patted Cheng Wancheng’s shoulder, pretending to be very close.
“Uh…”
Cheng Wancheng was stunned. He never expected Director Zhang to speak like this. He easily got away with a lie. It seemed that the police chief wasn’t that hard to fool?
Cheng Wancheng felt uneasy after getting off so easily.
In fact, Director Zhang had long seen through Cheng Wancheng and knew that he was the real mastermind. However, Director Zhang deliberately said the opposite in order to show the group of hooligans. The hooligans’ crimes wouldn’t be too severe, and they would be released after a few days. After their release, he would let them deal with Cheng Wancheng, thus making things easier for Shui Miao.
Hearing these words, Er Huangmao was so angry his teeth itched, and he screamed hysterically, “Cheng Wancheng, you betrayed me, I will kill your whole family when I get out!”
…
Er Huangmao was so enraged that he actually said such words in front of the police chief.
Hearing Er Huangmao’s threat to kill his entire family, Cheng Wancheng was immediately flustered. In this situation, admitting guilt was not an option, nor was denying it. Weighing the urgency of the situation, he could only choose to antagonize Er Huangmao, “Director Zhang, I want to expose Er Huangmao. He has committed countless crimes, deceiving and swindling people. I have evidence of him stealing electrical cables from the collective, and he even seems to have stolen someone’s child to sell. Er Huangmao’s crimes are so heinous that he deserves at least fifty years in prison!”
Cheng Wancheng decided to ensure Er Huangmao’s downfall.
Upon hearing this, Er Huangmao suddenly laughed, “Cheng Wancheng, you probably don’t know, your wife was sleeping with me over a decade ago. Do you remember the watermelon field in the village over ten years ago? The year I built the shed there, which was later blown away by a strong wind. You should remember that, right? I slept with your woman there. She has a big red mole on her butt, which you surely know about, right? Hehe, since then, I’ve often slept with your woman. You know about the night before last when your woman went to visit relatives, right? Do you know she had a tryst with me on the way? And your son…
Er Huangmao had an affair with the village Party secretary’s wife, which was undoubtedly a sensational piece of news.
In fact, Er Huangmao had never actually had an affair with Cheng Wancheng’s wife. He had only seen Cheng’s wife bathing when he was stealing things at night and noticed the big red mole on her bottom.
To discover that his own wife had secretly been unfaithful, and that his young son might be a bastard! Upon hearing these words, Cheng Wancheng was immediately overwhelmed with shame and anger, rushing forward to kick Er Huangmao with his feet, wishing he could kick Er Huangmao to death. Er Huangmao’s hands were not yet bound, and he took the opportunity to grab Cheng Wancheng’s leg, and the two began to wrestle together!
Seeing this, Director Zhang smiled coldly, turned around, and walked toward the front of the car, carelessly saying, “Ah! This is your private matter. Even an upright official can’t settle family disputes. As a director, I can’t interfere. I didn’t see anything either. Go ahead and fight to your heart’s content, and call me when you’re done.”
Shui Miao followed to the front of the car and quietly asked, “Uncle, what are you planning to do?”
Director Zhang put his arm around Shui Miao’s shoulder, “They are a bunch of people who wanted to scheme against you. Now I’m letting them fight among themselves, causing mutual destruction. After they are both defeated, no one will bother you again. Don’t worry about this matter; it’s not a big deal. You all go about your business, and leave this place to me.”
“Alright then, thank you, Uncle!”
Shui Miao secretly felt delighted. With his uncle’s protection, he wondered who would dare to bully him in the future.
