Chapter 45

Wei Shijie saw that things were not going well and tried to stabilize the situation. He quickly pulled Chu Tianshu and whispered, "Old Chu, he is..."

Chu Tianshu let go of Hao Shuang and shouted, "Old Wei, if it's not a disaster, it won't be a disaster. Who cares who he is, bullying people is out of the question."

Wei Shijie turned to look at Ning Xin, as if to say, there's still a little girl here.

Although Ning Xin had just dealt with Bao Ge efficiently, she was still a high school graduate and had never seen the arrogance of small-time hooligans. Seeing six fierce-looking guys surround her, she felt a bit panicked.

She stood beside Chu Tianshu and instinctively hugged his arm tightly with both hands.

Chu Tianshu immediately felt a warm and comfortable sensation on his arm. This feeling spread through his body like an electric shock, making his blood boil and giving him the courage to defy anything in the world!

Hao Shuang greedily glanced at Ning Xin and sneered at Chu Tianshu, "I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a womanizer. Buddy, tell me, is this little girl better in bed, or is Liu Chunna better?"

Ning Xin was only an 18-year-old girl. Hearing Hao Shuang's question, she felt both embarrassed and angry, her face turning red.

"Shut the hell up!" Chu Tianshu was furious and started cursing.

A good show was about to start. The onlookers in the bar formed two or three circles. Those outside the circle, unable to see, jumped like frogs to get a better view. One young man even lifted his girlfriend over his head to see. The dance floor was completely surrounded, and the air seemed about to burst.

Hao Shuang, who had recovered, pointed at Chu Tianshu and the others, gritting his teeth, "Brothers, beat them up!"

Just as the group was about to rush forward, Chu Tianshu shouted, "Hold it!"

To everyone's surprise, the group actually stopped, but they still glared at them menacingly.

These were a bunch of bullies who were used to relying on their power. Few of them had ever fought seriously, so seeing Chu Tianshu's determined stance, they felt a bit intimidated.

Seeing these cowards, Chu Tianshu couldn't help but smile.

His smile actually intimidated the other side. They thought to themselves, anyone who heard Hao Shuang's identity would have begged for mercy, but this guy not only didn't back down but also dared to challenge him. He must be no ordinary person. When the fight starts, let others go first.

Chu Tianshu touched Wei Shijie and felt that he was sweating profusely.

He thought to himself that Wei Shijie's concern was justified. Ning Xin was the daughter of his father's superior. Although she had some skills, if they really fought, those guys would definitely target her. Even if she wasn't hurt, it would be hard to explain if they took advantage of her.

In college, whenever Wei Shijie got into trouble over girls, Chu Tianshu always stood up for him and fought several times against overwhelming odds. An extra person would only hinder him, making it harder to fight effectively.

So, Chu Tianshu whispered to Wei Shijie, "Old Wei, I'll deal with them. You take Ning Xin and run out in the chaos."

Ning Xin softly said, "No!"

Chu Tianshu said sternly, "Listen to me!"

Ning Xin lowered her head in frustration and didn't say another word.

Before Chu Tianshu could finish, Hao Shuang shouted, "What the hell are you all standing there for? Beat them up!"

Chu Tianshu feinted, and the six guys took a step back.

Wei Shijie took the opportunity to pull Ning Xin out of the crowd.

Chu Tianshu instinctively looked around and was punched by the tattooed guy, causing his nose to bleed. Seeing the two of them run out, he wiped his nose and cursed, "Kid, since you want to fight, I'll show you who I am."

Chu Tianshu quickly attacked. He was strong and had practiced Taekwondo in college. He quickly threw the tattooed guy to the ground. Fighting one against six, Chu Tianshu backed against the wall, managing to hold his own despite taking a few hits.

The bar was in chaos, and the onlookers were cheering and shouting encouragement.

The bar owner must have called the police, and they arrived quickly, stopping the fight.

The police took everyone to the police station's office.

Inside the police station, Hao Shuang became even more arrogant. He glanced at Chu Tianshu with a sinister look, thinking, "Hmph, you wait and see how I deal with you." He stood against the wall and sent a text message to the police chief, Han Li.

Two police officers came in. The older one sternly ordered, "Hand over your phones. No matter who you know, it won't help. Just tell the truth. Stand up, and stand with your own group."

The younger officer collected everyone's phones and placed them on the desk, then separated them, leaving Chu Tianshu standing alone.

Officer Li looked at the situation and immediately understood. These six guys must have been bullying someone, and the fight broke out when the other person didn't back down. He looked at Chu Tianshu, then at the more injured Bao Ge and the tattooed guy, and smiled, "This fight is interesting! You were alone?"

Bao Ge, covering his face, shouted, "He had two accomplices."

Officer Li glared at him and asked, "Where are they?"

"Ran away, they ran away before the fight started," the tattooed guy shouted.

The young officer sneered, "Shut up! Six against one, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Chu Tianshu was secretly relieved that the police were fair.

Officer Li and the young officer took statements from both sides separately.

In the interrogation room, after Officer Li finished taking Chu Tianshu's statement, he glanced at the record and asked, "Young man, is that all?"

Chu Tianshu said, "That's all, Officer Li. I was defending myself. They were too aggressive, otherwise, I wouldn't have fought them."

Officer Li said, "You were a bit too harsh. Besides, who can prove it was self-defense? You were alone, and they won't see it that way. Do you want to call your family or your workplace to come and get you?"

Chu Tianshu was a bit hesitant. Guan Haoyu and Huang Roshan didn't like him, and he had embarrassed Ouyang Meimei. If this got to the workplace, it would be very bad. His family wasn't in Qingyuan, so he couldn't call them.

Thinking about it, Chu Tianshu said, "Officer Li, I haven't found a job after graduation, and my family isn't in Qingyuan. I have a classmate here. Can I call him to come?"

Officer Li was also a bit hesitant, "I'll check the other side's statements. Wait a moment, and we'll see how to handle it."

"Old Li, he instigated a fight and intentionally injured others. What else is there to wait for?" a deep voice came from outside the door.

"Chief, what are you doing here?" Officer Li stood up.

The person who entered was Chief Han Li of the Square Police Station. He was playing cards with the owners of several entertainment venues in the jurisdiction and was winning big. When he received Hao Shuang's text message, he was annoyed but didn't dare to ignore it, so he rushed to the station.

The Square Police Station was responsible for a large area around People's Square, the most prosperous part of North Lake District, with many entertainment venues. Hao Shuang often caused trouble in these places, and each time, Han Li had to clean up the mess. However, if Han Li didn't have this attitude, Hao Shuang's father, Hao Jiancheng, wouldn't have given him the most lucrative area in the district.

Han Li said, "Old Li, check on Xiao Wang's side. I'll handle this one personally."

Officer Li understood and left the interrogation room.

Han Li threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot. He adjusted his police cap and said to Chu Tianshu, "Confess, or you'll suffer."

Chu Tianshu, sensing that Han Li had already made up his mind, said cautiously, "Chief, I've told you everything. They were extorting and harassing a girl. I had no choice but to fight them."

Han Li stood up and paced, sneering, "So, you're a hero now?"

Chu Tianshu muttered, "You said it, not me."

Han Li said sarcastically, "Hmph, before you fight someone, consider your own strength. Don't think you can take on anyone just because you're strong."

Chu Tianshu thought for a moment and decided to be straightforward, "I know one of them is the chief's son. What? Are you going to abuse your power for personal revenge?"

Han Li was taken aback and immediately understood Chu Tianshu's intention. He walked to the side, pressed a switch on the wall, and turned off the surveillance camera.

"Heh, you're smart, but do you know what I do? Hmph, you're still too young to outsmart me."

Chu Tianshu, seeing his plan fail, thought of another one. He boldly said, "Hao Shuang deserved to be beaten for his lewd behavior. If I didn't beat him, someone else would. If you want to take revenge for him, go ahead, I'll take it."

"Damn! Do you think I won't?" Han Li was indeed angry and grabbed the small lamp on the desk.

Chu Tianshu stuck out his head and gritted his teeth, "Come on."

"You really think you're smart. If I beat you, you can use it as evidence of torture, right?" Han Li laughed, "Ha, you're too naive. After a fight, it's normal to be bruised and bleeding."

Before he finished speaking, Han Li grabbed the lamp and swung it at Chu Tianshu's head.

Chu Tianshu, seeing his plan fail again, could only sigh and brace himself.

At that moment, a clear voice came from outside the door, "Report!"

Hearing the voice, Chu Tianshu was secretly relieved. Du Yufei had returned.

Han Li had to stop and said impatiently, "Come back tomorrow. I'm interrogating a suspect now."

The door opened, and Du Yufei walked in.
