Chapter 188: Surprise! Unexpected?
When Xiao Yunqing hung up the phone, the expression on her face changed.
It wasn't fear, it was the cold.
"You just wait," she said coldly.
Er Gou laughed and slammed the iron rod into the ground with a clanging sound.
"Wait? Wait for your dad to come? Let me tell you, calling your grandpa won't do you any good!"
His henchmen behind him laughed, some putting their feet up on the chairs, others banging on the counter with sticks.
Song Huan didn't say anything.
He leaned against the shelf, arms crossed, watching Er Gou swagger around.
My lips twitched; I wanted to laugh.
Er Gou noticed and glared at him.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't call someone, I'll break your legs."
Song Huan shrugged and didn't reply.
The police car arrived faster than he expected.
It was blue and white, with its roof light flashing, and it didn't have its siren on. It drove over from the other side of the street and stopped in front of the store.
The car door opened, and two people got out.
The leader was a fat policeman, his uniform stretched taut over his body, his belt tightly fastened, and his hat worn neatly.
A tall, thin man followed behind, carrying a notebook and wearing glasses, looking like a follower.
Er Gou saw the police car but didn't move.
He leaned against the counter, legs crossed, the iron rod in his hand still dangling.
The henchmen behind him were also standing, some even sitting down, crossing their legs, and eating sunflower seeds.
The old man peeked out from behind Song Huan and said in a low voice, "The one leading the group is his uncle."
Okay, so it turns out the person who came wasn't Xiao Haifeng.
Song Huan looked over.
The chubby policeman glanced around the shop, his gaze lingering on Er Gou for a moment before he frowned.
That expression wasn't anger, it was impatience, like seeing a nephew who always caused trouble.
"What trouble are you causing here again?"
The overweight policeman walked over, his hand on his belt. "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't take out that iron bar. If someone sees it, they'll call the police again."
Er Gou chuckled and hid the iron rod behind his back. "Uncle, isn't today a day for making money? This old man's bones are too stiff; we need to fix him."
The fat policeman glanced at him but didn't reply.
His gaze swept past the old man and landed directly on Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing.
"We received a report from the public that there are people causing trouble here." He took his hand off his belt and beckoned behind him, "You two, come with us."
Xiao Yunqing's eyes widened. "We? Are we causing a disturbance?"
Her voice rose a half-octave, "They're the ones smashing things! We didn't do anything!"
The chubby policeman waved his hand impatiently, "We'll talk inside the station."
Xiao Yunqing pointed at Er Gou, "If we're going to arrest anyone, we should arrest them first!"
Er Gou laughed and proactively stretched out both hands, putting them together like he was wearing handcuffs.
"Come on, handcuff me, handcuff me."
He turned to look at Xiao Yunqing, grinning, "Anyway, my uncle works at the police station, so I'll be out in a bit."
The chubby policeman took the handcuffs off his belt and walked towards Song Huan.
The old man rushed out from behind the counter and stood in front of Song Huan.
"Officer, it's none of their business. They are students who came to buy things. It was these people who started the trouble."
The tall, thin policeman reached out and stopped him, placing his arm across his chest and pushing him back a step.
Er Gou leaned against the counter, legs crossed, watching the show.
Song Huan stretched out her hands, put them together, and put her palms up.
"Cuff me now, and don't come crying when you get uncuffed later."
His tone was very flat, as if he were talking about something very trivial.
The chubby policeman paused for a moment, then laughed.
[act recklessly.]
He fastened the handcuffs, and with a click, he handcuffed Song Huan's left hand.
With another click, his right hand was handcuffed.
Xiao Yunqing also stretched out her hands, imitating Song Huan, putting both hands together with her palms facing up.
"Come!"
She glared at the fat policeman.
The fat policeman glanced at her for a second, then took out another pair of handcuffs and clicked them shut.
Two pairs of handcuffs, four people.
The old man panicked and lunged forward to stop him, but was blocked by the tall, thin policeman.
Er Gou was laughing, his laughter echoing throughout the shop.
Suddenly, the sound of sirens came from afar again.
Not just one, but several.
A blue and white car drove in from the other end of the street, its roof lights flashing.
Leading the way was a black sedan, followed by two police cars, and then a white prison van with black lettering printed on its side.
The convoy stopped in front of the store, the tires making a deep sound as they rolled over the ground, and the brakes screeching sharply.
The fat policeman's hand froze in mid-air.
He looked at the black sedan, and his expression changed.
He recognized the license plate; he had seen it from afar when he attended a meeting in the city last time.
The tall, thin policeman was also stunned.
The car door opened.
Xiao Haifeng stepped out of the black sedan, wearing a police uniform, the stars on his epaulets flashing in the sunlight.
Before Er Gou could react, seeing the car arrive, he assumed it was his uncle calling for backup, and became even more arrogant, brandishing an iron rod and shouting:
"Look! My uncle's men are here! You two are dead today!"
"But Uncle, when did you get so powerful? You're even driving a prison van now?"
He had barely finished speaking...
"Snapped!"
A crisp, loud slap landed hard on Er Gou's face.
The one who made the move was his uncle, the fat policeman.
Er Gou was hit so hard that his head was turned to the side, and half of his face instantly became red and swollen. The iron rod in his hand clattered to the ground.
He was completely stunned, covering his face and staring blankly at his uncle, not reacting at all.
The fat policeman didn't even glance at him, not even for a second, and turned to look directly at Xiao Haifeng, who had just gotten out of the car.
His movements were swift, his attitude humble, and fear was written all over his face.
"Director Xiao! Chief Xiao! I was wrong! I was so wrong!"
His voice trembled and became hoarse, completely disregarding his image:
"It was my mistake! It was my favoritism and abuse of power! It was my failure to discipline my children properly! I beg you, Director Xiao, give me another chance! I beg you, Director Xiao, have mercy!"
As he kowtowed, he pointed at the terrified Er Gou and began to curse:
"It's that bastard! He started this trouble! He's the one who extorted money and caused trouble! It's all his fault! I'm cutting ties with him! I'll never acknowledge him as my nephew again!"
Er Gou stood there, covering his face, completely dumbfounded.
His uncle, who had just been protecting him, now turned on him in public and tried to crush him to death in order to save himself.
Xiao Haifeng, dressed in a crisp police uniform with gleaming epaulets, didn't even spare a glance for the fat policeman kneeling and begging for mercy.
He stepped into the store, his gaze immediately falling on Xiao Yunqing's handcuffed hands, his face ashen as still water.
Everyone held their breath; the air itself seemed to freeze.
Xiao Yunqing stood beside the counter, her hands cuffed.
Xiao Haifeng's face darkened, but not with anger; it was the calm before a mountain crashes down.
He walked over, took a bunch of keys from his belt, squatted down, and unlocked the handcuffs on Xiao Yunqing's hands.
Xiao Yunqing rubbed her wrist, which was now red.
"dad."
Xiao Haifeng stood up, turned around, and silently looked at the fat policeman.
"Chief...Chief, I...I..."
The fat policeman's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Xiao Haifeng didn't say anything, he just looked at him.
It felt like the air in the store had been sucked out.
Song Huan held up her two handcuffed hands and shook them, "Uncle, I'm here too."
Xiao Haifeng glanced at him, walked over, and unlocked the handcuffs on his hands.
Song Huan shook her wrist and moved her fingers.
Xiao Haifeng turned back to the fat policeman and asked, "Who told you to handcuff me?"
The sound wasn't loud, but in the quiet shop, every word felt like a nail.
The fat policeman opened his mouth slightly, but didn't make a sound.
Xiao Haifeng waved towards the door without waiting for his reply.
Two uniformed policemen walked in quickly and went straight to Er Gou.
Er Gou took a step back and bumped into the counter, unable to move any further.
"What are you doing?!"
The uniformed police officers ignored him, each taking one arm from each side, twisting his arms behind his back, and handcuffing him.
Click.
Er Gou's face turned from white to green.
"Uncle! Uncle! Save me!" He turned to look at the fat policeman.
The fat policeman stood there, head down, too afraid to move.
The tall, thin policeman was also held down by another person, and his notebook and pen were taken away.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
The henchmen behind Er Gou had already squatted down; some were holding their heads, some had their hands raised above their heads, and some were trembling violently.
The old man stood behind the counter, his hand resting on the countertop, watching all this, his eyes reddening.
Xiao Haifeng walked up to him, extended his hand, and said, "My daughter has told me everything. I'm sorry to have frightened you, sir. I apologize for this; there's a corrupt element within our police force."
The old man excitedly grasped his hand, which trembled, but he didn't say a word.
Xiao Haifeng released his grip, turned around, and looked at Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing.
"Come on, you guys go wait outside first," he said.
Song Huan nodded, took two steps, then stopped and looked back.
Er Gou had already been taken away, head down, handcuffed behind his back, being carried away by two people.
Then one by one, the thugs were sent away dejectedly.
The fat policeman stood by the counter.
Two uniformed policemen walked over, one on the left and one on the right.
He didn't resist and followed them.
The tall, thin policeman followed behind, his legs trembling.
Xiao Haifeng stood at the door, watching them being forced into the car.
