Chapter 1321: Chapter 1371: Not Taking It Seriously

"Get lost!" A figure suddenly appeared beside Xu Zhenguo, grabbing the two policemen and directly throwing them aside—it was Xu Shanshan.

"Are you daring to resist arrest?" Liu Yushan glared and roared furiously.

Xu Zhenguo initially didn’t intend to escalate the situation, but given how things were now, it was impossible to avoid stirring up trouble. Moreover, with several powerful families present here, his confidence ran deep. No matter how well-connected Wang Shoucheng might be, he couldn’t possibly overpower these people. At this moment, Xu Zhenguo felt fearless and shouted, "Liu Yushan, as a police officer, even if you’re here for an investigation, did you ever question the involved parties? Are you acting solely based on one sentence from Wang Shoucheng’s nephew? Let me ask you: Are you serving the interests of Wang Shoucheng, or the people, or the government, or the Party?"

Liu Yushan couldn’t hide his embarrassment at being publicly reprimanded by Xu Zhenguo. Even though he knew his actions were illegal, who here would dare provoke Wang Shoucheng? He couldn’t afford to be reckless in his remarks. Huffing coldly, he said in a serious tone, "Xu Zhenguo, I’m tolerating you as we’re fellow cops. Don’t mistake this tolerance for weakness!"

"I, Xu Zhenguo, have always conducted myself properly and steadfastly. I don’t fear conflicts, Liu Yushan. If this is how you execute law enforcement today, then I’m not afraid of you. I want to see who dares lay a finger on me!" Xu Zhenguo, once a military man, erupted with anger, his soldierly charisma instantly apparent as he stood tall with remarkable presence and authority.

At this moment, Wang Xiaodong, already impatient, shouted, "What are you all standing around for? I told you to make arrests! If anyone resists, shoot them dead!"

Wang Xiaodong’s order carried more weight than anything Liu Yushan, the Deputy Director, had said. The police officers immediately swarmed toward Xu Yingying and her group.

"Fight them!" Su Mengxin’s crisp voice rang out. Normally, she seldom lost her temper, but today she was truly enraged. Such lawless conduct right under her nose was even more rampant than anything the influential families had done—it was unimaginable.

Su Mengxin was often the backbone of the group. Her words gave everyone a sense of confidence. With her sharp call to action, they all charged at the police.

Xu Zhenguo immediately shouted, "Kids, these officers are acting under pressure from Wang Shoucheng. Not all of them are willing participants. Go easy on them."

Xu Zhenguo’s plea carried weight, and everyone complied, easing up in their actions. Only the unfortunate officers struck at the beginning were more heavily injured.

Seeing Xu Zhenguo’s people daring to attack law enforcement, Liu Yushan’s eyes almost popped out of his skull. He roared at Xu Zhenguo, "Xu Zhenguo, are you really trying to defy the heavens? You’re openly resisting arrest!"

Xu Zhenguo let out a cold snort and said, "If this was legitimate police work, I, Xu Zhenguo, would fully cooperate. But what you’re doing—this is clearly aiding the other side in a fight. Are you even police officers?"

"Xu Zhenguo, don’t you dare move! Stop them right now!" Liu Yushan suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Xu Zhenguo.

But just as he raised his arm, a sharp pain shot through his wrist. The gun was already in Xu Shanshan’s hands. She raised it and directly aimed it at Liu Yushan’s head, yelling, "You bastard! How dare you point a gun at my dad!"

The sight of the gun startled Liu Yushan into freezing in place. The weapon was loaded, and sweat immediately trickled down his forehead. Stammering, he pleaded, "D-don’t shoot. We can talk this out!"

"Talk your nonsense!" Xu Shanshan swung the gun handle and struck Liu Yushan’s head. This bastard had swaggered in acting arrogant toward her father, entirely devoid of professional ethics as a police officer. Xu Shanshan was utterly furious, and she didn’t hold back in her strike.

Liu Yushan groaned in pain as a lump quickly formed on his forehead. Gazing at the gun in Xu Shanshan’s hand—a weapon that could end his life—he dared not move and anxiously said, "Niece..."

"Don’t try to cozy up to me! It’s disgusting!" Xu Shanshan shot him a glare.

"Y-yes, um... Could you please put the gun down? Maybe we can talk things over."

Xu Zhenguo said, "Have your men stand down."

Liu Yushan immediately responded, shouting, "Stand down! Stand down! Everyone, stop!"

The officers who had been battered by Xu Yingying and her companions were already desperate to call it quits. As soon as they heard Liu Yushan’s command, they scattered at once. None of them were willing to keep fighting; these women were simply too formidable.

"Old Xu, can’t we just let this slide? We’re all part of the police system, but you’re stirring up immense trouble here. I advise you to back down while you still can." Liu Yushan now wore a bitter expression, as though genuinely warning Xu Zhenguo.

Xu Zhenguo shouted coldly, "If I, Xu Zhenguo, dared act this way, it means I fear no one—not even Wang Shoucheng. You all may shrink back, but I refuse to back down!"

"Who dares provoke me?" A chilling voice echoed as several individuals entered the hall. Leading them was a man wearing a Tang Suit. His balding head and gloomy expression exuded menace as he gazed at Xu Zhenguo.

"Secretary Wang!" Liu Yushan immediately greeted the man obsequiously.

Wang Xiaodong rushed over to the man, crying out, "Second Uncle, you have to stand up for me! Look what they’ve done to me!"

The newcomer was indeed Wang Shoucheng. He had been dining nearby when he received the call from Wang Xiaodong and promptly arrived. For years, nobody in this city had dared cross him. Seeing that someone had dared beat his nephew today, he was eager to find out who these audacious individuals were.

"Preposterous! Clearly they’re asking for death! Who hit him? Show yourself!" Wang Shoucheng roared in fury upon seeing his nephew’s pathetic state. This was an outright challenge to his authority.

"I hit him. Got a problem with that?" Xu Shanshan toyed with the gun in her hand, narrowing her eyes at Wang Shoucheng.

Seeing the gun in Xu Shanshan’s hand, Wang Shoucheng was visibly startled. However, he was bold and wouldn’t have climbed to his position without courage. In a low voice, he asked, "And who are you?"

Xu Zhenguo answered, "She’s my daughter."

"Do you... Do you realize the consequences of this?" Wang Shoucheng stared coldly at Xu Zhenguo.

Although Xu Zhenguo had encountered Wang Shoucheng before and felt intimidated by him, today he felt no trace of fear. Instead, he saw the man as utterly unremarkable. Experiencing this shift from dread to empowerment brought him an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Straightening his posture, his towering figure looked down on the shorter man, and calmly he said, "I only know one thing: scum like you should have been taken down a long time ago. I believe that day will come soon."

"Haha..." Wang Shoucheng laughed suddenly, then turned to look at Xu Zhenguo. "Plenty of people have tried to take me down. Do you know what happened to each one of them? You, just a lowly cop, think you can challenge me? Ridiculous! Let me tell you—the fact that you’ve provoked me today and hit my nephew means I won’t let this go. If I, Wang Shoucheng, don’t destroy your family and ruin your life, I might as well not call myself Wang Shoucheng!"

"What arrogance!" Ning Xin’er’s father snapped coldly.

Wang Shoucheng retorted, "Whatever I set out to do, I achieve. You’ll soon learn whether I mean what I say."

Xiao Ling’er’s father shook his head and remarked, "Old Ning, today I see firsthand how a mere deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee can become this audacious."

Zheng Yuling’s father sighed, "For things to reach this point, what are the mayor and the Municipal Party Secretary even doing? Clearly, it’s time for some changes."

Ning Xin’er’s father said gravely, "Indeed. It’s time to clean house here. Corrupt and criminal officials like this, especially those involved in organized crime, must be thoroughly investigated and removed from the cadre ranks."

Hearing their conversation, Wang Shoucheng raised an eyebrow and scrutinized the three men. "Who are you?" he demanded.

Ning Xin’er’s father replied with a faint smile, "Who we are doesn’t matter. But in life, you have to take responsibility for your actions. I believe your good days are numbered."

Growing increasingly uneasy, Wang Shoucheng sensed the oddity surrounding these three individuals. Their tone suggested formidable backgrounds, yet he was too accustomed to strongarming others to back down easily. Sneering, he said coldly, "I don’t care where you’re from, but let me warn you—this is my territory. If you cause trouble here, you’ll pay the price."

"Haha, did he just threaten us?"

"Indeed! I’m shaking in my boots!"

"Maybe we should leave before he destroys us completely. That’d be terribly humiliating."

Ning Xin’er’s father, Xiao Ling’er’s father, and Zheng Yuling’s father exchanged sarcastic banter at Wang Shoucheng’s expense.

Meanwhile, Liu Yushan was growing increasingly uneasy. An odd premonition gnawed at him—how could someone like Xu Zhenguo, just a police section chief, have the audacity to challenge Wang Shoucheng? Yet here he was, defiant. Not only him—everyone here, regardless of gender or age, seemed utterly unfazed, even laughing and chatting as though Wang Shoucheng wasn’t worth a second thought.

Could it be that some of these people really possessed the means to take on Wang Shoucheng? Or perhaps—no, he thought—there must be someone among them capable of overpowering Wang Shoucheng. Otherwise, how could they remain so composed?

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps echoed again. A large group of riot police armed to the teeth stormed into the hall, dispersing to surround everyone inside. Weapons raised, their presence heightened the tension. Could this batch of officers also have been summoned by Wang Shoucheng? If so, things were about to get tough.
