Chapter 69

Zhao Zhiwei, a former soldier, was prone to cursing when he got angry. Once he started cursing, it meant he was really angry, and someone was about to be in trouble.

The first one to be in trouble was Chen Guangyu.

Zhao Zhiwei said coldly, "Chen Guangyu, you've made such a big mistake, you don't deserve to be the chief anymore!"

On the surface, he was dealing with Chen Guangyu, but in reality, he was slapping Cao Shunbin in the face, because Chen Guangyu was Cao Shunbin's protégé, and Zhao Zhiwei knew this very well.

Sure enough, when Chen Guangyu heard that he was in big trouble, he quickly sought help from Cao Shunbin, "Director Cao, please speak up for me. You were there, I never meant to conflict with the local military."

"Are you talking to Old Zhao?" At this moment, Cao Hongmei spoke up.

When Cao Hongmei spoke, Cao Shunbin immediately knew it was bad, because her tone was clearly condescending.

Indeed, Cao Hongmei felt that her husband was at least a vice mayor, while Zhao Zhiwei was just a bureau chief, so there was always a bit of a gap in rank. Therefore, Cao Hongmei always called Zhao Zhiwei "Old Zhao." However, she didn't know that Zhao Zhiwei had been promoted to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and entered the Municipal Party Committee, while her husband, though a vice mayor, was not yet a member of the Standing Committee.

In short, Cao Hongmei's words were a violation of official etiquette, so Zhao Zhiwei's face immediately darkened, and he said to Cao Shunbin, "Cao, what kind of place is a police station? A woman shouldn't be giving orders here. What kind of decorum is this!"

"Director Zhao, don't be angry! My sister is just worried about her son being bullied, you—"

"Explain what! What's there to explain!"

Now that Zhao Zhiwei had been promoted, his temper had also grown. He didn't listen to Cao Shunbin's explanation at all. In the past, he might have given Cao Shunbin some face, as Cao Shunbin's brother-in-law, Cai Heping, was at least a vice mayor. But now, Zhao Zhiwei was a member of the Municipal Party Committee, so he didn't need to consider Cai Heping's feelings. Thinking about Cao Hongmei's attitude just now, Zhao Zhiwei was even more furious, "I always ask you to enforce the law impartially, but you do the opposite! A student fight, does it need you, Cao Shunbin, the deputy bureau chief, to personally intervene? Are you just bored?"

Cao Shunbin thought to himself that the bureau chief shouldn't have come, but he dared not contradict him and just kept agreeing.

"I've already figured this out. Qin Lang and Cai Weidong were just having a minor conflict. But Cai Weidong pulled out a knife and threatened Qin Lang. Qin Lang acted in self-defense and knocked Cai Weidong unconscious. So, this has nothing to do with Qin Lang. Why did you handcuff him?"

As soon as Zhao Zhiwei spoke, he immediately defined the nature of the incident, saying that the conflict between Qin Lang and Cai Weidong was minor, but Cai Weidong's use of a knife was illegal, and Qin Lang's act of knocking him unconscious was self-defense and not a crime. After Zhao Zhiwei finished speaking, a police officer immediately removed Qin Lang's handcuffs. Zhao Zhiwei then smiled at Qin Lang and said, "Qin Lang, I'm sorry for the scare. Our police system does have some bad apples, but overall, we are good. Rest assured, I will severely investigate the derelict officers! Go ahead—take people to the hospital and control the suspect Cai Weidong!"

Suspect?

Cao Hongmei and Cao Shunbin were stunned. They didn't expect Zhao Zhiwei to not only firmly support Qin Lang but also to go so far as to treat Cai Weidong as a criminal suspect!

"Old Zhao... What are you saying! Our Weidong is the victim, how can you let this boy go... At least consider our Cai's sake..."

Cao Hongmei even brought up her husband, which made Zhao Zhiwei even angrier. He interrupted her without hesitation, "Mrs. Cao, if you keep this up, you'll be interfering with law enforcement! Cao Shunbin, haven't you educated your family about the law?"

"I think the legal knowledge of Director Cao is really lacking," Chen Jinyong, who had been silent, suddenly said. "I just came from the disciplinary inspection department. I heard someone reported that Director Cao was involved in corruption and bribery. The disciplinary inspection team should already be at Director Cao's home and office."

"What!" Cao Shunbin felt dizzy when he heard this, and even Cao Hongmei was stunned.

Chen Jinyong didn't care about their feelings and asked Qin Lang kindly, "Qin Lang, are you okay? Rest assured, Director Zhao will handle this case impartially!"

"Director Zhao, Director Chen, since I am innocent, I'll go back to school to avoid falling behind in my studies," Qin Lang thanked Zhao Zhiwei and Chen Jinyong. Then, he thanked the lieutenant of the special forces.

At this moment, Qin Lang saw Luo Bin rush in and ask him with concern, "Qin Lang... Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Miss, he's fine! Not a hair is out of place!" The lieutenant smiled at Luo Bin.

Qin Lang then realized that the special forces lieutenant was actually sent by Luo Bin. He had been wondering when he had any connections with the military. This showed that Luo Bin's family background was not simple. He never expected that this girl, who was so low-key in her appearance and behavior, had such a background.

"Kid, my name is Ma Zhenyong!" The lieutenant extended his hand and shook hands with Qin Lang.

"My name is Qin Lang, thank you." Qin Lang felt the increasing strength in Ma Zhenyong's handshake and remained calm. He knew that Ma Zhenyong was testing his strength through the handshake. But Ma Zhenyong had no ill intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have gradually increased the strength.

"No problem, I was on a mission today and came by. Good kid! Impressive!" Ma Zhenyong felt that Qin Lang's strength was even greater than his own and couldn't help but praise him. Then he said to Luo Bin, "Miss, you have good taste!"

Luo Bin's face turned red, and Ma Zhenyong quickly left with his team.

"Luo Bin, thank you," Qin Lang said to Luo Bin.

"Why thank me?" Luo Bin said, "In kindergarten, you often protected me. Now, can't I protect you once?"

"Sure." Qin Lang nodded and followed Luo Bin out of the police station, "But from now on, I'll protect you."

Boom!

At that moment, a thunderclap echoed in the sky.

It was the first thunder of the year.

The thunder echoed in the sky, but it startled Qin Lang's heart.

The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman.

Qin Lang suddenly felt that this thunder might be a warning from the thunder god.

Could it be that falling in love with two beautiful women at the same time really angers the heavens?
