766: Chapter 766: You Think You’re Tough with Backing?

I’ll Thrash You to Death!

The situation changed abruptly!

The sudden arrival of the police officers, brought Dean Kong and the others a sense of being reborn.

Dean Kong’s eyes widened dramatically, filled with surprise and astonishment.

It was completely unexpected.

No one had imagined that the police would appear so timely, it was truly a rescue from suffering and distress!

Director Miao was so shocked that he was almost stunned, his face bursting into a smile in an instant, as if he had seen a living Bodhisattva.

For Ninth Master who was about to drink hot pot soup, the joy was overwhelming, as if he’d been saved from falling into an abyss at the last moment.

Who would still drink hot pot soup?

He turned and was about to throw himself into the arms of the police.

In that instant…

Chief Yu slowly raised his head, chest out, brimming with confidence.

As if he had cut through thousands of troops, capturing the enemy general’s head.

In a moment of crisis, saving the day and turning the tide, he was filled with indescribable joy.

Obviously, he was quite impressed with his own cleverness and wit, hence the proud smile on his lips.

Wu Jie instantly saw through the clues.

Just now they were asked to pool money, make phone calls, send text messages, and make online transfers…

they had been in contact with their phones for too long.

For someone as cunning and calculating as Chief Yu, it was the perfect opportunity to send a message.

He guessed that one of his friends had sent a message, and given that Handong City is quite small, it made sense that the police arrived quickly after being alerted.

But…

So what if they’ve come?

Wu Jie’s face remained unchanged, his heart unmoved, and he took in the extreme joy on the faces of Dean Kong and the others.

“Nobody move!

Nobody move!”

“Put down the knife!

Put it down now!”

Amidst the loud shouting of the police officers, Wu Jie glanced at his two subordinates, and they put the kitchen knife and the boning knife on the table.

At this time, a higher-ranking police officer with a purposeful stride walked toward Dean Kong.

And Dean Kong, who had been retching, crying, and sniveling in a wretched state, suddenly looked full of official authority.

“Officer Zhou, you’ve arrived just in time, these four bastards are inhuman!”

“They tricked us into coming for hot pot, but it turned out to be extortion, making us round up over a million yuan, and they even forced Jiu to drink hot pot soup!”

“Look at this stuff, it’s all rotten meat and vegetables!

Stinks worse than shit, how could anyone eat it?”

Dean Kong was so agitated that he spoke at a rapid pace.

He could probably go on a variety show, being the announcer for an advertiser.

As soon as he finished, Director Miao pointed angrily at Wu Jie and cursed:

“It’s this son of a bitch.

He emptied all our savings and made us borrow a lot of money!”

“This heartless dog should be executed by firing squad!

Executed!!!”

Chief Yu looked on coolly with a mocking smile:

“You little punk, daring to mess with the four of us, you’re really tired of living!”

“Were you not very arrogant before?

Forcing us to borrow money and making Jiu drink soup, why aren’t you talking now?”

Ninth Master, holding his waist, roared even more arrogantly:

“Damn it!

I’ve been out in the world for so many years, never been humiliated like this!”

“You want to drink soup?

Go ahead, drink up all the soup in this pot, maybe if I’m happy, I won’t beat you up!”

…

Emotions were running high.

Spittle flew in all directions.

Dean Kong and the others had truly brought the saying “a dog exploiting the tiger’s might” to its extreme.

With Officer Zhou backing them up, they spoke with such confidence.

It was completely different from the time they had been compromising, scraping together money to make a transfer.

At that moment.

Two colleagues wanted to speak but were stopped by Yu Hui’s glance.

He knew what kind of person Wu Jie was, and even if he drew a gun and shot dead all four scumbags on the spot,

the case would not be something that the local district police could handle.

Besides, Wu Jie was calm and composed, not showing any sign of panic or fear.

So, why the panic?

Why the rush?

After listening for a while, Officer Zhou, without a second word, took out handcuffs.

Without giving Wu Jie and the others a chance to explain, he went straight to arrest them.

In an instant.

Dean Kong and the others laughed coldly, as if they were deriving great pleasure from a revenge fulfilled.

“You four have some nerve!

How dare you illegally imprison, threaten and intimidate, and kidnap for ransom.

Very well!

Come along with us quietly!”

“Wait a minute!”

Wu Jie glanced at Officer Zhou’s badge number and responded with an embarrassed smile,

“You listen to their arbitrary accusations and pin three charges on me, just like that?

Is that appropriate?”

“Whether it’s appropriate or not isn’t for you to decide.

We will investigate in accordance with the law!

You’d better be honest and cooperate with our police investigation!

Otherwise, we have the right to take coercive measures!”

As he spoke, Officer Zhou gestured for the other officers to handcuff the individuals.

“Coercive measures?

Who are you trying to scare?”

Wu Jie said with a cold laugh, raising his hand towards Dean Kong and the others.

“I’m genuinely baffled here.

How does inviting them for hotpot turn into illegal imprisonment?

Did I tie them up?

Did I threaten their personal safety?

Each one of them can shout louder than the next.

Did any of them get hurt?”

“Inviting people for hotpot, using kitchen knives and boning knives to chop vegetables and meat, isn’t that normal?

How does that become threatening and intimidating?

By that logic, doesn’t it mean that no household or restaurant in the whole wide world can have knives?”

“And they voluntarily donated money to the Auxiliary Business Association charity.

How does that become kidnapping and extortion?

Did we torture them into confessing?

Did we put a knife to their neck, forcing them to show kindness?”

These three consecutive retorts.

Made the officers present somewhat speechless.

This crime scene…

Aside from the common kitchen knives and boning knives in a restaurant, there were no other tools for committing a crime.

The so-called victims had no injuries, were not restrained or beaten; they were hopping around, full of vigor.

Only the hotpot in front of them and the vomit on the ground…

It was a sight too horrible to behold, too sharp on the eyes, and stinky for the nose.

Upon hearing Wu Jie’s words and seeing that Officer Zhou and other officers made no move, Dean Kong and the rest became infuriated.

Bang!!

Dean Kong couldn’t hold back anymore, and with his authoritative presence, he slammed the table and stood up.

Pointing angrily at Wu Jie, he shouted,

“Do you call this hotpot?

Talking about rare ingredients, bullshit, it’s all rotten meat and vegetables, expired food.

You never had good intentions!”

Wu Jie retorted with a sneer, “If no one eats it, how is it not a rare ingredient?

Did you have a conscience when you fed it to the children in the welfare home?”

Director Miao shouted in anger, “And what about you forcing us to transfer money?

Even though it didn’t go into your personal pocket, doesn’t it still smacks of extortion?”

Wu Jie looked at Officer Zhou with a cold smile.

“Extortion is characterized by the intent to illegally possess, by using threats or coercion to forcibly demand property from the victim.

Officer Zhou, I’m not mistaken, am I?”

Officer Zhou nodded slightly.

“So…” Wu Jie glanced coldly at Director Miao, “am I illegally possessing something?

It was clearly you who operated the phone and donated to the Auxiliary Business Association!”

Director Miao shouted angrily, “But you threatened us, demanding a transfer, otherwise you’d make us drink hotpot broth!”

Wu Jie retorted,

“So what?

Although that hotpot broth stinks, can it kill a person?

Did I threaten or coerce you?”

“Don’t you usually buy spoiled meat, rotten vegetables, and expired food for the children at the welfare institute?

What do you call that, then?

Poisoning so many innocent children, shouldn’t that be considered endangering public safety?”

Upon hearing this, Director Miao almost choked with rage.

“You!!!”

Suddenly, Ninth Master or Jiuye raised his hand, pointing at Yu Hui, and bellowed,

“But he kicked me twice, that must count as a violent threat, right?”

Wu Jie chuckled coldly,

“Where did he kick?

How serious are the injuries?

Do you have any evidence?

Your skin is thick and you’re fatter than a pig—are you saying he could violently threaten you?”

“I…”

Ninth Master or Jiuye was immediately rendered speechless.

His flesh was thick and resistant to beating; being kicked twice by Yu Hui had hurt before.

But now…

it was nothing!

If he really went to the hospital, they wouldn’t even diagnose a minor injury.

Clap—Clap—Clap—

Chief Yu suddenly clapped his hands with a sneering smile.

“Impressive!

Truly, utterly impressive!”

“In my over forty years of life, I’ve never seen someone so eloquent and smooth-talking!”

“You just washed away your guilt in a matter of moments!”

After a short pause, Chief Yu stepped forward two steps with a sardonically mocking smile.

He exaggeratedly bowed slightly, cocked his head back, and scrutinized Wu Jie closely.

“I’m really curious!

Just how shameless can your face get!”

“You keep claiming that we harm the children at the welfare institute—do you have evidence?”

“Even if you do, you could report it!

But you had no right to lure us here and intimidate us with vigilante justice!”

“We are public servants.

If we break the law or commit a crime, it’s not your place to deal with it.

Who do you think you are?”

“A wandering hero, enacting justice?

Even if we caused every child at the welfare institute to die, it’s none of your damn business!!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth…

Slap!!

An extremely loud slap fiercely struck Chief Yu’s face.

Wu Jie’s slap was delivered with great force and full power.

So…

Chief Yu was sent flying outright.

It was like a top fiercely whipped by a lash, or a person being hit by a heavy motorcycle.

The moment he was sent flying, his glasses came off, and his teeth and blood mixed as they spurted from his mouth.

With a thud,

Chief Yu crashed heavily against a hotpot table, collapsed on the floor like a deflated ball.

He was immediately knocked out, with neither a scream nor a moan of pain.

And the sudden slap was just too damn loud.

Everyone in the hotpot restaurant heard it clear as day.

Swift and fierce!

The power was intimidating!

Dean Kong and the other two were so startled they were at a loss for words.

And the many officers were dumbstruck, not expecting Wu Jie to suddenly strike a slap, and such a vicious one at that.

It sent the person flying, knocking out several teeth.

It probably wouldn’t kill him, but he was surely concussed severely!

“You damn thing!

Saying the children can all die—scum like you should be exterminated, I must kill you today!”

Wu Jie strode forward, heading straight for the unconscious Chief Yu.

His leg was poised as if ready to kick a ball with explosive force.

“Don’t move!!

Or I’ll shoot!”

Officer Zhou shouted loudly, aiming the gun at Wu Jie.

Wu Jie stopped his kick and glanced coldly to the side.

“No one has ever dared to point a gun at my head before!

You’d better put that gun down!”

Officer Zhou yelled angrily, “You dare commit a crime in public, I can shoot you dead legally!”

Yu Hui couldn’t stay steady any longer, quickly stepping forward to shield Wu Jie.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!

Please don’t shoot!”

“What kind of bullshit misunderstanding?

We all witnessed him hitting someone!”

Officer Zhou pushed Yu Hui aside, aiming to continue pointing the gun at Wu Jie.

“I did hit someone, but which law states that you have the right to shoot me dead on the spot?”

With that, Wu Jie swiftly drew a gun from his bag and flashed his credentials.

“Come on!

Let’s see who shoots whom first, who has the right to shoot whom!”

Officer Zhou was taken aback for a moment.

The other officers were also wide-eyed in shock, not expecting such a turn of events.

As for Dean Kong and the others, they were understandably clueless.

Never having encountered the Security Bureau, ordinary people wouldn’t know in a lifetime about such a secretive agency.

So, how could they recognize what Wu Jie’s credentials were?

“Damn!

Illegal possession of a firearm and faking credentials—Lao Zhou, we can arrest him now, right?”

“You little brat!

You’ve got some nerve!

Where did you get that gun?

Looking for death, are you?”

…

“Shut up!!”

Officer Zhou shouted sternly, putting away his service pistol.

He took Wu Jie’s credentials, walked to the side, and checked them with a specialized app on his police terminal.

When he returned, he snapped to attention and saluted sharply,

“My apologies for the disturbance!”

Handing back the credentials, Officer Zhou declared loudly, “All units, pull out!”

In an instant, all officers departed.

Dean Kong and the rest were instantly baffled.

By the time they came to their senses and tried to follow and flee, they were halted by the ominous muzzle of a gun.

“Where do you think you’re going?

Sit your asses back down!”

“You must finish this hotpot meal!!”
