Chapter 19

"What do you mean? You want to get rough?"

The old man glared at the fat policeman and asked, at which point the fat policeman looked as if he was about to cry.

"I wouldn't dare, old leader. Don't hit me. I'll make the call."

Saying this, he walked out of the ward with the pimply policeman, but just as they reached the door, they heard Hao Rentong shouting from behind.

"You two, don't think you can just run away. I've already noted down your badge numbers. If you run away and don't bring your superiors here, I'll still find you. Just wait, and you'll see what happens then."

The two policemen's faces changed, and they quickly left the ward. Once out of the door, the pimply policeman quickly headed towards the stairs, but after a few steps, he realized that his partner, the fat policeman, hadn't followed.

Turning back, he saw the fat policeman turn into the stairwell, take out a cigarette, and light it. The pimply policeman followed.

"What? Old Zhang, are you really scared by that old man? Damn, if it weren't for his age, I would have given him a good beating today."

The fat policeman gave the pimply policeman a disdainful look but said nothing. The pimply policeman was taken aback and asked:

"Damn, Old Zhang, you're not really scared by that old man, are you? He's just an old fart. What's there to be afraid of? He should go home and burn incense and pray."

The pimply policeman was now being quite bold, completely forgetting how he had been intimidated by the old man's presence in the ward.

Old Zhang couldn't hold back any longer and slapped the back of the pimply policeman's head: "You damn brat, stop blowing hot air. You can die! In the ward, you didn't talk like that. Do you really think that old man is a pushover? Just look at how he mentioned the names of Sun Shangwu, Li Chengxiang, and Jing Nan. He spoke as if they were just some minor figures. Those are big shots, and he doesn't even care. Are you really that stupid?"

The pimply policeman fell silent. He wasn't really stupid; he had just lost face and was putting on a show. Now that Old Zhang had revealed the truth, he felt a bit helpless.

"What do we do now? Do we really have to bring the chief here?"

The pimply policeman said helplessly. Old Zhang raised his hand and slapped him again.

"Damn, are you really that stupid? Which division are we from? We're from the Qianshan Division. This is the Development Zone. We're overstepping our jurisdiction. If we bring our chief here, do you still want to wear this uniform?"

Old Zhang looked at the pimply policeman with a mix of frustration and disappointment. The pimply policeman looked helpless.

"What do you suggest, then? This won't work, and that won't work. Should we call Captain Yang? After all, this was his assignment. If we can't handle this, we'll end up taking the blame."

The pimply policeman tentatively asked Old Zhang. Old Zhang couldn't think of a better solution and could only throw the cigarette butt on the ground and say:

"That's all we can do."

Saying this, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Half an hour later, a Mitsubishi Pajero slowly drove into the hospital parking lot. A young man with a pale face jumped out of the car. As soon as he got out, Old Zhang and the pimply policeman, who were hiding under a tree in the distance, quickly came forward to greet him.

The young man looked exhausted, reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, and had a tired expression. When he saw Old Zhang and the pimply policeman, his face showed a mix of helplessness.

"Damn, Old Zhang, Xiaoqiang, what's going on? You can't handle such a small matter? How do you do your job?"

"Captain Yang, Captain Yang, it's not our fault. We went in to take Li Xiangdong away, but suddenly an old man appeared. He spoke in a very authoritative manner and seemed to be a police leader. We didn't dare to act rashly."

Old Zhang smiled and explained, but the young man looked impatient.

"Damn, an old fart can scare you so much? Old Zhang, are you getting older and more cowardly?"

Old Zhang could only smile bitterly.

"Captain Yang, it's not like that. That old man is not ordinary. He can rattle off the names of the city bureau chiefs and division chiefs. He even has their phone numbers in his phone. He said if we don't bring our superiors here, he'll call those division chiefs. He's already noted down our badge numbers. We can't run even if we want to!"

Yang Yunpeng's brows furrowed. He was the head of the Qianshan Division's Public Security Team and had a wide network of social connections, including friends from all walks of life. The security chief of Hengfa Group, Brother Dog, was a regular gambling partner, and they often played cards together.

When Brother Dog was beaten, he immediately thought of Yang Yunpeng. Knowing that Brother Dog often lost money to him at the gambling table, Yang Yunpeng readily agreed to help.

However, this matter seemed more complicated than he thought. The other party seemed to have some significant background, and there was even a retired old cadre protecting them. Yang Yunpeng's brows furrowed even more.

But he quickly relaxed. Just a retired old cadre, what's there to be afraid of? At most, he can only make a fuss in the People's Congress. Even if I confront him, what can the old man do?

Fine, I want to see who this old bastard is, daring to put on airs. Brother Dog's matter must be resolved because Brother Dog has lost a lot of money to me over the years, totaling over a million. If I can't handle this, Brother Dog won't come to play cards with me anymore.

Most importantly, many of the entertainment businesses under Hengfa Group have my shares. If this matter isn't resolved, those shares will have nothing to do with me in the future.
