Chapter 35

【Monday, don't forget to help cast a recommendation vote, thanks.】

Xia Yunjie, upon hearing this, stomped his foot and looked at Luo Dawei with a blank expression, asking in a calm tone, "We've already had a fight, what do you want, Brother Wei?"

"What do I want? Finally scared, huh? Finally speaking like a human? Damn, you need to kowtow and admit your mistake, pay 100,000 yuan for medical and mental damages, and these three girls have to kneel and serve me and my brothers, making us comfortable. Once we're happy, we might..." Although Luo Dawei was very unhappy with Xia Yunjie's cool expression, he felt even more pleased and arrogant when Xia Yunjie finally "gave in," thinking that no matter how skilled Xia Yunjie was, he was just an ordinary civilian and wouldn't dare to fight him, the son of a government official, especially since his father was the chief of the Longyun District Public Security Bureau, an enforcement agency specifically for dealing with criminals!

"Ha ha ha!" The other hooligans thought the same way, and their expressions, which had been like they had lost their parents, all turned to arrogance and smugness. They looked at Xia Yunjie and Wu Yuxi and the others as if they were cats looking at mice, thinking they could do whatever they wanted with them.

"Enjoy your fun, my ass!" Xia Yunjie finally burst out again, breaking free from Wu Yuxi and Liu Ke's hands, and rushed forward, kicking Luo Dawei to the ground. He then continued to kick Luo Dawei's stomach several times, making Luo Dawei curl up, gag, and tears fly. The others wanted to help, but seeing Xia Yunjie's cold gaze and remembering his terrifying skills, they all hesitated and stopped.

"Stop!" Just as Xia Yunjie was still angry and wanted to kick Luo Dawei a few more times, the police car finally arrived. About ten police officers, each holding a baton, rushed out of the car. One of them, with two bars and two stars on his shoulder, a deputy chief inspector, immediately shouted at Xia Yunjie in a stern voice.

This deputy chief inspector was Li Gengyu, the deputy captain of the Longyun District Public Security Bureau's Public Security Team.

Although Xia Yunjie had extraordinary skills and was angry, he ultimately remembered his master's teachings. Seeing the police arrive and stop him, he finally stopped his violent behavior.

"What a bold move, in the middle of the night, on the street, openly beating up citizens, arrest him!" Li Gengyu, seeing Xia Yunjie stop beating Luo Dawei, immediately shouted sternly. However, as he shouted, his eyes had already scanned the scene, and he was secretly shocked.

Luo Dawei was the son of the chief of the Longyun District Public Security Bureau, Luo Zhigang, and Li Gengyu naturally recognized him. Most of the others he also recognized, either from wealthy families or children of leaders in the Public Security Bureau. These guys were pampered from a young age, wearing designer clothes, attending prestigious schools, but in the end, they all grew up to be rebellious and troublemakers. Since the beginning of this year, they had taken a liking to street racing. They often rode motorcycles in groups late at night, causing many citizens to complain to the Public Security Bureau. However, because these were the children of bureau leaders, they couldn't be scolded or managed, and as long as nothing major happened, they were left alone.

When Li Gengyu received the call from the public, he already suspected that these were the street racers, and he was worried about how to clean up the mess if things got out of hand. But what he never expected was that when he arrived, he saw Luo Dawei, the "devil of the world," curled up on the ground, being kicked by a young man who looked no more than twenty. Even more shocking, the ground was littered with overturned motorcycles, and Luo Dawei's gang, all bruised and beaten, were too scared to help.

However, being shocked was one thing. Since it wasn't Luo Dawei and his gang who had hit someone, Li Gengyu found it easier to handle.

At Li Gengyu's command, two police officers immediately walked toward Xia Yunjie with handcuffs, their faces cold.

"Wait, what right do you have to arrest me without even asking what happened?" Xia Yunjie, seeing the police arrive and order his arrest without investigating, his face darkened, and he coldly questioned.

"What right? The right to see with our own eyes. What did you do just now? You were beating a citizen who couldn't defend himself!" Li Gengyu said "righteously."

"Police officer, you misunderstood. They forced us to race with them in the middle of the night. When we refused, they chased us with their motorcycles, and then my colleague Xia Yunjie helped us." Wu Yuxi, emboldened, defended Xia Yunjie.

"In the middle of the night, what were you three women doing on the street, dressed so lightly?" Li Gengyu, instead of paying attention, narrowed his eyes and asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"We work in a bar, and we got off late," Wu Yuxi, understanding Li Gengyu's implications, said with a mix of shame and anger.

"Oh, so you work in a bar, and you're all colleagues." Li Gengyu's lips curled into a meaningful smile, then his face turned serious. "Since that's the case, you all come to the police station. We'll sort everything out there."

Saying this, Li Gengyu waved his hand and sternly ordered, "Take them all away."

Since they were just bar workers, Li Gengyu had no qualms.

Wu Yuxi and the others had been in society for a long time and were not naive. Seeing that Li Gengyu only targeted Xia Yunjie and them, and not Luo Dawei and his gang, they knew that Li Gengyu and the others were deliberately favoring Luo Dawei. They were both angry and afraid, saying, "We won't go to the police station. This isn't our fault."

"Do you think you can just say it's not your fault and it won't be? What are you waiting for? Take them all away!" Li Gengyu's face turned stern.

Xia Yunjie watched the scene with a cold eye. This was the first time he had seen the ugly side of power in society. He was extremely angry but remained unusually calm, even more deeply understanding his master's intention in forbidding him from using his skills to gain power.

Power can indeed benefit society when used for good, but once it goes out of control and turns to evil, the consequences are disastrous for society!

Although he was extremely angry, Xia Yunjie, a recent graduate, still had a simple and kind heart. Even though the facts clearly showed that these police officers would not enforce the law impartially, he didn't want to believe that society could be so dark. So when Li Gengyu ordered them all to be taken away, Xia Yunjie didn't resist. Instead, he looked at the approaching police officers and said coldly, "I'll go with you, but I haven't committed a crime, so don't put handcuffs on me!"

He wanted to see how they would handle the situation at the police station.

The two police officers who were about to arrest Xia Yunjie knew that what Wu Yuxi said was true and that Li Gengyu wanted to curry favor with Luo Dawei to become the captain of the Public Security Team. Moreover, since Luo Dawei and his gang were beaten up, Li Gengyu would have to give them some satisfaction. So they didn't forcibly arrest Xia Yunjie but turned to look at Li Gengyu.

Li Gengyu knew Xia Yunjie was skilled and didn't want to cause more trouble. Besides, once they were at the Public Security Bureau, dealing with a few bar workers would be easy. So he waved his hand generously. Then he turned to Luo Dawei, who had already stood up, and said kindly, "How are you, Dawei? Can you drive yourself to the station, or should we go to the hospital first?"

"To the station first!" Luo Dawei wiped the blood from his mouth and replied. However, as he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xia Yunjie, his face showing smugness and malice.

He had never suffered such a defeat in his life. If he didn't make Xia Yunjie cry and beg for mercy, he wouldn't be satisfied.

Xia Yunjie just gave him a cold look, then turned to comfort Wu Yuxi and the others, who were already pale with fear, saying, "Don't worry, the police will handle this fairly!"

Wu Yuxi and the others stared at Xia Yunjie, unsure whether to laugh at his naivety or admire his courage. After all, they had seen that Luo Dawei was the son of the police chief, and the leading officer was clearly going to twist the facts.

Luo Dawei and his gang, upon hearing this, all showed a mocking expression, looking at Xia Yunjie as if he were a fool. On the contrary, several of the police officers lowered their heads, their faces showing a hint of shame.

As police officers, not only did they fail to enforce the law impartially, but they also helped the bad guys, arresting a good citizen who had acted bravely. What a pathetic and incompetent job!

However, in China, the saying "a higher official can crush a lower one" is common. Li Gengyu was the deputy captain of the Public Security Team, and Luo Dawei was the son of the chief of the Public Security Bureau. Several of the others were also children of bureau leaders. The police officers felt ashamed but lacked the courage to stand up.

Although Wu Yuxi, Liu Ke, and Xu Jia were bar workers and usually acted boldly and openly, when they got into the police car and sat in the iron-enclosed back compartment, hearing the siren wailing above and seeing Luo Dawei and his gang riding motorcycles arrogantly behind the police car, they all turned pale and trembled.

Xia Yunjie, seeing Wu Yuxi and the others trembling with fear, and looking at the arrogant faces of Luo Dawei and his gang outside the car, felt not only extreme anger but also a deep sorrow.

If they were the children of officials and Luo Dawei and his gang were workers, would Luo Dawei and his gang be sitting here now? The answer seemed obvious.

On the road from Jiangzhou Bai Long Airport to the city, a green Beijing Jeep was speeding.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Qin Lan, gripping the steering wheel, tears silently sliding down her smooth face.

Others only saw her strong and cold side as the deputy chief of the Public Security Bureau. If she weren't so beautiful and sexy, people might have forgotten she was a woman. But who knew that even though Qin Lan appeared strong and cold in public, she was still a woman. In private, she could be weak, and she could cry.
