Chapter 27

"Th-this big brother, I am a normal person, I... I have a girlfriend." The other person's enthusiasm and burning gaze made He Dong suddenly feel a chill down his spine. He quickly pulled his hand back and wiped it on his clothes without showing any emotion.

"Uh! Hahaha, little brother, you're really funny! I'm a normal person too, and I already have a wife, and my child is already eight years old!" Wang Xuewen was momentarily stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Xie Bin, the secretary who had been following Wang Xuewen, looked at He Dong in surprise. Since Wang Xuewen arrived in Tianyang City, Xie Bin had been by his side. In the past year, this was the first time he had seen Wang Xuewen laugh so heartily. The quick-witted Xie Bin immediately imprinted He Dong's appearance deeply in his mind.

"Big brother, you seem familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you!" Wang Xuewen's words made He Dong secretly relax, but then he asked curiously.

"Hehe, little brother, do you remember a month ago, when you sent a teenager injured in a car accident to the hospital...!" Wang Xuewen said excitedly.

"Oh, I remember you now, you're the teenager's brother! How is your brother now?" He Dong suddenly remembered who this person was.

"Little brother, thank you. Thanks to you, my brother would have been disabled even if he survived." Wang Xuewen said gratefully.

Wang Xuewen and He Dong's conversation was not kept private, so almost everyone was dumbfounded by this dramatic scene. However, Bao Ming, Bao Decai, and the cold police officer all broke out in cold sweat, especially Bao Ming, whose face turned noticeably pale.

Because, the arrest of He Dong was personally ordered by Bao Ming, and he sent his son and a trusted subordinate to carry it out. He was very clear about the details.

"There's nothing to it. Anyone with a conscience would do the same!" He Dong had not thought of anything else at the time; he was just focused on saving the person.

"Only then can one see a person's character!" Wang Xuewen patted He Dong's hand, but then he saw the handcuffs on He Dong's wrist, which made his face suddenly turn serious. "Little brother, what's going on? With your character, I believe you would never commit a crime!"

"Thank you for your trust, big brother. I really haven't committed any crime. I don't even know why they arrested me!" He Dong said with a sense of injustice.

"Is that so, little brother? Don't worry, as long as you haven't committed a crime, I will make sure to get justice for you!" After saying this, Wang Xuewen turned directly to Bao Ming and asked, "Director Bao, this little brother is my brother's savior. I want to know what crime he committed?"

"This...! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Bao Ming was unwilling to reveal the truth.

Even if He Dong had indeed injured six people, those six people had questionable identities. If Wang Xuewen found out that he was arresting the mayor's savior for the sake of six gang members, it would be a complete offense to Wang Xuewen. Moreover, with the evidence of police corruption, even the vice mayor could not protect him.

"A misunderstanding? Does a misunderstanding require handcuffs?" Wang Xuewen frowned and pointed at the handcuffs on He Dong's wrist.

"Mayor Wang, this is really a misunderstanding! You two bastards, quickly take off the handcuffs." Bao Ming tried his best to explain, hoping to smooth over the situation.

"Wait! Before taking off the handcuffs, everyone, please listen to this!" He Dong, who had been wronged, could not let it go, so he took out his phone and said.

Turning on the playback function, a conversation immediately played from the phone. After the recording played, Bao Decai's face turned extremely pale, as the recording was clearly the threats he had made to He Dong in the car.

Especially when the line "My dad is the director, my superior, go ahead and file a complaint! I'll see who can complain about me, or who will be sent to jail!" was heard, even Bao Ming's legs trembled.

"Great! Great! This is our police force serving the people!" Wang Xuewen's face was full of anger. He was truly furious, as he never expected the police department to be so corrupt, especially under his governance.

"Mayor Wang, Bao Decai and Wang Hai are suspected of illegal detention, abuse of power, and corruption. Since they are police officers, I suggest they be immediately suspended and detained for detailed interrogation!" At this moment, Sun Kailiang, the deputy director of the police department who had always been at odds with Bao Ming, stepped forward.

"Ah!" Bao Ming, Bao Decai, and others were instantly stunned. If Sun Kailiang's accusations were confirmed, they would face at least a few years in prison.

"Dad! You have to save me!" Bao Decai, who had been arrogant in front of others, now cowered like a soft eggplant. Even before the result was out, he fell to Bao Ming's feet, hugging his legs and crying.

If Bao Decai had been more resolute, Bao Ming might have tried to protect him. However, Bao Decai's sudden collapse left Bao Ming speechless.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you cuffed them yet!" Seeing that Wang Xuewen did not speak, Sun Kailiang knew he had tacit approval, so he immediately shouted.

"Dad, save me, save me!" Bao Decai became even more panicked when he saw the handcuffs being put on him.

Bao Ming's few trusted subordinates all looked at Bao Ming. Bao Ming clenched his hands, his expression dark, but he shook his head slightly. Since Wang Xuewen had encountered this situation today, there was no way to avoid it. For now, he could only stabilize the situation and think of a countermeasure later.

"Brother, I'm really sorry about today! But don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" Wang Xuewen no longer paid attention to the others. He took a key from a nearby police officer and, while personally helping He Dong remove the handcuffs, apologized.

"Whatever big brother decides is fine!" Although no one had introduced him, He Dong had already figured out the identity of the person in front of him from their titles. This identity initially had a significant impact on He Dong, but he quickly adapted, as he was no longer an ordinary person.

"Good, good, good, I'll take you as my brother!" He Dong's composed and respectful demeanor made Wang Xuewen even more impressed, and he placed even more importance on He Dong.
