Chapter 68

As the middle-aged woman rushed into the interrogation room, her eyes, like those of a venomous snake, immediately fixed on Qin Lang: "Little brat! You're the one who beat up my son!"

With that, the middle-aged woman swung the handbag she was holding and viciously aimed it at Qin Lang's face.

Is this Cai Weidong's mother?

Qin Lang identified the middle-aged woman and thought to himself that it was no wonder her son was so arrogant; his mother was such a fierce person.

Generally, Qin Lang didn't like to hit women, but he liked it even less to be hit by them. So, when "Madam Cai" swung her handbag, Qin Lang suddenly stood up, and his foot shot out like lightning.

Slap!

The sound was crisp and clear.

The middle-aged woman, Chen Guangyu, and others were all stunned—

Qin Lang actually slapped someone with his foot! And the target was none other than Cao Hongmei, the wife of the Deputy Mayor of Xiayang City and the sister of the new Chief of the Chengnan District Public Security Bureau, Cao Shunbin!

This was unacceptable!

"Little brat! I'll kill you—"

Cao Hongmei started to act like a hooligan, truly more fierce than a commoner. Over the years, she had been accustomed to being haughty; when had she ever been slapped, let alone slapped with a foot!

However, there was nothing she could do. Who could blame her when the police had handcuffed Qin Lang's hands, and Qin Lang, who often practiced martial arts, had feet as agile as his hands.

"Mrs. Cao, calm down... calm down!" Chen Guangyu hurriedly tried to persuade Cao Hongmei, as he could see that this kid was a troublemaker and not easy to deal with.

"Calm down my ass!" Cao Hongmei angrily said, "This little brat is a rotten apple! Even in the police station, he still dares to hit people, to assault the police! Chen Guangyu, are you useless? Is your gun just for show?"

"Brother! I'll handle this!" Cao Shunbin said from the side. Although Cao Hongmei was the wife of the Deputy Mayor, she was not part of the police system, and it was not appropriate for her to cause such a commotion here.

"You... you're useless too! How can you not protect your own nephew in your jurisdiction!" Cao Hongmei scolded a few more times before turning to Cao Shunbin, "Our Wei Dong has never been treated like this. He is proud and ambitious. If we don't give him a satisfactory answer, who knows what he will do—Shunbin, I want tenfold retribution!"

By the time Cao Hongmei finished speaking, her voice was already harsh and fierce.

But Qin Lang still had a fearless and unconcerned expression, which made Chen Guangyu and Cao Shunbin extremely angry. Cao Shunbin shouted at Chen Guangyu, "What's going on! Since he assaulted the police, he must be dealt with strictly. Can't your police station handle a little punk?"

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, bring the electric baton! Let this kid calm down!"

Chen Guangyu shouted at the police outside, preparing to give Qin Lang a severe punishment. The electric baton could release 200 volts of electricity, which was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Many suspects had been beaten to the point of defecating and urinating. However, using this on a student was too harsh.

But when Qin Lang heard that they were going to use the baton, he also became determined.

If these guys really wanted to get rough, the one who would suffer would definitely not be him, Qin Lang!

Screech!

At that moment, three military jeeps appeared at the police station's entrance. The brakes screeched sharply due to the high speed.

As soon as the jeeps stopped, a lieutenant and two soldiers jumped out of the first vehicle.

Although there were only three people, the police station's officers were secretly amazed by their equipment, which was far superior to their own. Moreover, there was a small squad of soldiers in the vehicles, all armed and ready, giving off an invisible pressure.

The three men entered the police station and headed straight for the interrogation room. Due to their strong presence, no police officer tried to stop them.

"Shunbin, you did well, you even called in the special forces?" Cao Hongmei thought her brother had called in the special forces to show off.

Cao Shunbin had a bitter smile, thinking that as the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, he couldn't just call in the special forces. Moreover, this team's equipment was even better than the special forces, and their uniforms were different. Most importantly, if it were the special forces, they wouldn't have rushed in without reporting. It seemed that these people were likely an elite squad from a special forces unit!

"Are you Qin Lang?" the leading special forces officer asked Qin Lang, seemingly not noticing the others.

"Yes," Qin Lang nodded, not knowing why these soldiers were looking for him.

"Mr. Qin Lang, we are ordered to ensure your safety! Are you alright?" the lieutenant said to Qin Lang, immediately stating their purpose. True to form, the soldier was decisive.

"Hey—what are you soldiers doing! This kid is a criminal, he beat up my son, why are you protecting him? I'm telling you, he intentionally injured someone, you can't just do whatever you want! Don't think that being soldiers gives you the right to act recklessly! I can still complain to your superiors..." Cao Hongmei, realizing the situation was not right, started to accuse the special forces officer. As the wife of the Deputy Mayor, she didn't take these soldiers seriously.

"We are following orders!" the lieutenant glared at Cao Hongmei, his eyes filled with killing intent. Soldiers are trained to obey orders, especially these special forces. They would only follow the orders of their superiors and wouldn't give face to local officials. Moreover, hearing the contempt in Cao Hongmei's voice, the lieutenant coldly snorted and lightly patted the automatic weapon in his hand, scaring Cao Hongmei into silence. She even involuntarily wet herself a little.

Seeing Cao Hongmei finally shut up, the lieutenant continued, "Mr. Qin, rest assured, no one can harm you before you receive a fair trial."

"I'm fine," Qin Lang smiled, "They've been treating me well. Chief Chen even called for someone to give me a 'massage' with the electric baton just now."

The lieutenant officer glared at Chen Guangyu, his fierce gaze making Chen Guangyu tremble with fear.

At this moment, Cao Shunbin, as the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, was the most composed. He asked the lieutenant, "Comrade, what is your unit's number?"

"Confidential!"

"Then what is your superior's name?"

"Confidential!"

Cao Shunbin guessed that this team was from a nearby military unit and tried to find a connection, but the soldiers were unyielding. He had to suppress his anger and said, "Comrade, your unit can't just interfere with our police affairs, right?"

"We are only following orders to protect the target! For other matters, please contact our superiors!" the lieutenant replied.

Qin Lang inwardly marveled at the lieutenant's skill in handling the situation.

"Chen Guangyu! What are you doing!"

At that moment, a deep voice echoed in the police station.

"Is that Director Zhao's voice?" Chen Guangyu was startled. He recognized the voice of Zhao Zhiwei, the Chief of the Xiayang City Public Security Bureau. Whenever Zhao Zhiwei gave a lecture, his voice was particularly loud. Moreover, Chen Guangyu could tell that Zhao Zhiwei was in a bad mood.

Cao Shunbin was also startled. As the Chief of the Chengnan District Public Security Bureau, Zhao Zhiwei was his direct superior!

Sure enough, Zhao Zhiwei soon appeared at the interrogation room door, accompanied by a young man. Cao Shunbin recognized him as Chen Jinyong, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Government's Secretariat and the secretary of the new Mayor, Wu Wenxiang.

"Could Mayor Wu know about this!" Cao Shunbin was drenched in cold sweat. The simultaneous appearance of Chen Jinyong and Zhao Zhiwei was not a good sign, especially the presence of Chen Jinyong, which indicated that Mayor Wu Wenxiang was personally involved.

After Zhao Zhiwei appeared, he said to the special forces lieutenant, "Lieutenant, I am an old comrade of your military district's Deputy Commander Liu. We just spoke on the phone. I am Zhao Zhiwei, the Chief of the Xiayang City Public Security Bureau. We will handle this case fairly."

Hearing Zhao Zhiwei, the cold and stern lieutenant's expression softened slightly, but he didn't intend to leave just yet.

"Chen Guangyu! What the hell are you doing! Do you want to create a conflict with the local military? A high school student gets into a fight, and you, the chief, personally interrogate him? What the hell is wrong with you!" Zhao Zhiwei started to scold Chen Guangyu.
