Chapter 750: Chapter 381: Fainted_1

In the small meeting room of the Sancha River Township Armed Forces Department, Lin Baoguo’s cigarette had already burned down to his fingertips, but he still held it absent mindedly, looking at his nephew who had an indignant and righteous look on his face. It was as if he didn’t recognize his own nephew, feeling as if he was in a dream.

It wasn’t until the burn on his finger became painful from the cigarette that he jolted awake, extended his hand to put the stub into the ashtray, missing the target even after trying twice.

The speech Yan Fei made, which Old Pan from the Armed Forces Department and the other soldiers had already heard once, struck them afresh with its additional ’new content’. From their hearts to their faces, a huge ’impressed’ showed on their faces, not knowing what to feel.

When Yan Fei first spoke to Old Pan, he was improvising and didn’t speak very well. But after that ’test run’ and some rearranging during the rest period, the speech he gave now was firm and impassioned, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Across from him, Director Liu still managed to maintain an awkward smile.

Those who came with Director Liu, especially the younger police officers, despite the overhead fan spinning non-stop, still felt hot all over, turning their faces red as apples, especially during Yan Fei’s recounting of the beaten workers. He said the workers weren’t beaten initially, only after Director Lin had been ignored when asking for information did the beatings start, and only after he had left.

Upon hearing this, several police officers were red in the face, grinding their teeth and secretly cursing the assholes who caused this mess...

Even a fool knows to leave a line when doing anything in order to meet in the future. These assholes have put an end to that hope, now there is no chance of taking anyone back, what can anyone do?

Putting aside the legality of the matter, they dared to start beating people as soon as they spotted the local police chief, underestimating his authority simply because he’s from a smaller township. Once he left, they started beating people. It’s not just about beating people anymore, it’s about disrespect for the entire township. To be precise, it’s about disrespect to all the township police chiefs across the region...

Even though he is a small-town police chief, he’s still a legitimate authority. As for you, a mere village security department, even if you’re near the city and don’t plan to interact with him, you don’t even give him face, instead, you slap him in the face publicly. Actions like this are inconceivably audacious.

We always talk about the society of interpersonal relationship. Skirting the edge of the law is sometimes tolerable, but to slap your own people in the face within your own system, don’t you know who you are?

If this incident blows up, regardless of other things, all the police chiefs in the region, will certainly remember this security department and whose jurisdiction it falls under.

Just because you are closer to the city, does that make you superior to us, the poor folks in the townships? A police chief visiting your department to get a handle on the situation gets snubbed and what’s more infuriating, the people he just asked about get beaten up the moment he leaves — So, this is how low our small-town police departments are regarded by you, the city-dwellers!

If things really get to that point, who will care what the case is all about. Just this alone will make everyone see how brazenly arrogant these people usually are, to be so contemptuous of others!

Pride goes before a fall!

Director Liu muttered this to himself, having made up his mind.

In fact, this sentence of Yan Fei, though not considered particularly important, was like giving a final push to Director Liu’s indecisive stance, prompting him to finally make up his mind.

After Director Liu’s arrival at the Armed Department, in a small room usually used as a storeroom, a group of guys, soaked in sweat, perked up. They peered through the window at Director Liu and his group entering the premises, looking invigorated just like after a doping injection.

The leader of the group, a large plump man, spoke impatiently to the corner, "It’s ok now, Xiao Yu. What are you afraid of? Didn’t you see Old Liu has come? You can rest assured now. We should be able to leave soon."

The only woman in the corner, a girl who had been sobbing non-stop, raised her tear-streaked face, her slightly red and swollen eyes looking wide, "Are you telling the truth, Uncle Gui? Will they really let us go?"

A young man next to her, thinking he was being funny, said, "Will they let us go? You should remove the word ’will’ from your sentence. I don’t believe that these small-town folks dare not release us. Isn’t that right, Uncle Gui?"

Uncle Gui, the plump one, wore a serious face and said, "These are trivial matters. We were a bit careless today. Be more careful in the future to avoid this kind of trouble. Understand?"

The people in the room immediately replied in a disorganized manner: "We know!"

Uncle Gui was quite satisfied with everyone’s attitude: "This time we capsized in a small ditch! It’s a lesson, and everyone should remember it. After we go back, we can slowly settle things. I reckon they will inevitably have to go to the city to sell beef in the future, and we will meet them again. We won’t settle scores with them just yet."

"Right, right, right! Acting arrogant just because they sold some beef, I don’t believe their truck won’t have to pass our way in the future. If they don’t give us an explanation this time, I wonder from where will their truck go to the city next time, right, Uncle Gui?" A young man asked while flattering.

"Well, that’s not exactly correct." Uncle Gui instantly became stern, and speaking with an air of authority said, "Since Old Liu has managed to come here, we should give him some face. When you see this truck later on, let it pass first. Once things cool down, we can slowly deal with them. There’s no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities."

These people seemed overly confident, as if certain they would be released when Director Liu arrived. But it wasn’t surprising, people always like feeling superior; people living in the provincial city feel those in other places are rustic, even those in small towns invariably feel that rural villagers are peasant-like.

Under such superiority, regional differences have formed an insurmountable rift. At least that’s what this group thought, they had forgotten that Director Liu is just a police station chief like the rest, and when they arrived, not even a person in charge showed up, not giving them the slightest respect.

However, the whining girl raised a point: "The person who went to our area was also a police station chief, what if they really don’t release us?"

Uncle Gui paused, then suddenly burst into laughter as if he heard a hilarious joke. He pointed a finger at the girl and said in earnest: "You, you need more experience! I don’t know what to say to you."

A clever young man laughed: "Little sister Xiao Yu, you wouldn’t understand. There are many police station chiefs, Old Liu is from our city, their chief is just a peasant. The difference is huge! We can disrespect him, but if he disrespects Old Liu, isn’t he disrespecting people from the city? Unless he doesn’t plan to be promoted in the future, otherwise this arrogance of his will affect his future!"

The youth’s face still bore a purplish-red palm print, and his deliberate imitation of a leader was comically ridiculous. But the people in the room found it humorous and burst into laughter.

The atmosphere unexpectedly became lively, even making them forget the stuffy heat of the tiny room.

A young man next to the girl tried to comfort her: "Xiao Yu, rest assured, this is a small place where they have lost their minds and done this. They may already be regretting it now. Didn’t you see, after they brought us back here and shut us in this place, except for the little minister who came to ask a few questions, they didn’t dare to lay a finger on us? Moreover, Uncle Gui has connections. There is certainly nothing to worry about, we should be able to go home soon, and when we do, I’ll treat you to Cai’s Noodles..."

The people in the room were venting their dissatisfaction with this little place, occasionaly flattering Uncle Gui, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed.

As they were discussing, suddenly a young man who had been watching outside from the window exclaimed: "They’re coming out..."

Those by the window all looked outside, seeing that Director Liu and his party were now at the door of the room across, laughing and talking with a few ’peasants’.

"Look, there’s no problem at all!" Uncle Gui laughed, his face exuding calmness, as if his expression read ’I knew it all along’.

Immediately, someone shrewdly complimented him: "Uncle Gui is so wise, I knew they wouldn’t dare to disrespect Old Liu. They had a short talk and it’s over, that was quick!"

Another person jumped in laughing: "Actually, they should thank us, right? We gave them a chance to curry favor with Old Liu. Otherwise, they would huddle in this little place, and probably wouldn’t get a chance to curry favor with the city leaders in their lifetime, right?"

The others nodded in agreement, each of them waiting confidently, feeling that Director Liu would come and take them home any moment. Some were even thinking about what to say later, to take advantage of the situation and rub the faces of these peasants in the mud, making them feel terribly embarrassed...

While some were thinking of this, someone already suggested it: "Uncle Gui, look at my face, should I pretend to faint now, to give them a taste of their own medicine?"

Uncle Gui pondered for a moment, then gently nodded: "Okay, but don’t overdo it, just give them a lesson, let them learn who they can catch and who they can’t."

Therefore, the young man with a purplish-red palm print on his face instantly lay down, closing his eyes as if dead. The room was small, others made space for him, then several young people around started yelling: "Someone! Someone’s passed out..."
