Zhou Yingying also glared at Wang Hao, nobody has yet testified for Xiao Li, so she still can’t completely dissociate from the matter.
Furthermore, Brother Ming insisted that Xiao Li had hidden two hundred yuan, and if Xiao Li left, it would be considered fleeing, which would be very unfavorable for her.
"Officer Zhou, I testify, I personally saw Xiao Li indeed pick up two hundred yuan, and she has already returned it to this Brother Ming!"
Wang Hao turned to Zhou Yingying and said, completely ignoring those small-time hoodlums.
Zhou Yingying was taken aback, then swiftly understood.
As long as Wang Hao was willing to stand up and testify for Xiao Li, she could clear herself of suspicion.
On the other hand, no matter who Brother Ming’s father was, he would have to bear the legal responsibility for fraud.
Brother Ming and his people changed their expressions instantly, all glaring fiercely at Wang Hao.
"You’re talking nonsense, you weren’t even here at the time, how could you possibly have seen anything!"
Brother Ming shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Do you have any witnesses to prove that I didn’t see it?"
Wang Hao played the rogue just like Brother Ming.
This move completely confused Brother Ming.
Whether Wang Hao had seen it or not was something only he himself knew for sure, where could Brother Ming find a witness, and why would anyone come out to testify.
"Officer Zhou, don’t believe him, he didn’t see anything!"
Brother Ming, desperate and furious, shouted at Zhou Yingying.
"Officer Zhou, I swear on my honor, I saw Xiao Li just pick up two hundred yuan. Now that there’s a witness, you decide how to handle this matter!"
Wang Hao wasn’t afraid of Brother Ming’s threats; he was convinced that Xiao Li certainly hadn’t hidden that two hundred yuan.
Zhou Yingying wasn’t foolish, she and Wang Hao had both stood up to help Xiao Li at the time, if she hadn’t seen anything, then for sure Wang Hao hadn’t either.
It was just that seeing Brother Ming and his cronies acting so arrogant and overbearing, they certainly deserved a beating.
And since nobody could prove that what Wang Hao said was false, legally speaking, this would be helpful for Xiao Li. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Kid, who in this town doesn’t know Brother Ming’s name, you’re deliberately asking for trouble, huh?"
Brother Ming, already in a rage, with a threatening look, motioned his followers to rush over.
"Brother Ming? From now on, in this town, there’s only Brother Hao. If I see you guys pulling these stunts again, I plan to break your legs!"
Wang Hao glared fiercely at these green youngsters, warning them.
"Oh, quite bold! Who around here doesn’t give me some respect? You’re dead today!"
Having said that, Brother Ming called on a few hoodlums to swarm forward.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Zhou Yingying shouted from the side.
But those few hoodlums, with Brother Ming backing them, didn’t take Zhou Yingying seriously and rushed at Wang Hao, weapons in hand.
Wang Hao didn’t take these young punks seriously either.
However, Zhou Yingying was a person of integrity. If he started the fight, she would definitely pin the responsibility on him.
Left with no choice, Wang Hao just had to take a hit. Pushed back two steps by a bludgeon, he fell right next to Zhou Yingying.
Wang Hao cast a sorrowful glance at Zhou Yingying, then said.
"Officer Zhou, you see, they started it first. I have to defend myself now, or else they’ll beat me to death!"
Zhou Yingying, having witnessed them hitting someone with sticks, couldn’t just stand by and immediately said,
"Fight back, or they’ll beat you to death. I’ll testify for you, this counts as self-defense!"
Upon hearing these words, Wang Hao felt relieved, a sly smile creeping onto his lips. Now it was his turn to strike back; that strike he had just taken couldn’t go unanswered.
Taking advantage of the hoodlums charging over, Wang Hao swiftly moved in front of Brother Ming.
He grabbed one of Brother Ming’s arms and swung it at the hoodlums, instantly toppling several of them to the ground with Brother Ming on top.
Brother Ming’s arm was dislocated from the throw, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain with a huge bump on his head.
"You!"
Zhou Yingying looked at the pile of fallen hoodlums and was speechless at Wang Hao.
She thought, clearly very capable in a fight, yet he pretended to be bullied, just waiting for Zhou Yingying to testify for him, such hypocrisy.
"Using me!"
Zhou Yingying hmphed coldly at Wang Hao, but her tone lacked any blame.
Wang Hao just gave her an innocent smile.
At that moment, Brother Ming got up and tried to run away, but Wang Hao chased after him and kicked him down to the ground.
With a fierce threat, he tossed out, "Did Officer Zhou let you go?"
Brother Ming struggled to lift his head and glare at Wang Hao as he roared,
"Just you wait; I’ll tell my dad, and he won’t let you off the hook!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yingying cuffed him with the handcuffs.
"What are you doing? Let me go immediately!"
Ming Ge screamed hysterically.
"I now suspect you of extortion, come back to the police station with me for an investigation."
Zhou Yingying said seriously.
"My dad is the town mayor, let me go quickly, or you’ll regret it!"
Ming Ge was still threatening, but he didn’t know that Zhou Yingying was not at all afraid of these things.
Seeing Ming Ge cuffed, Wang Hao couldn’t help but laugh, though he couldn’t understand why Zhou Yingying was carrying handcuffs even during her rest time, was she addicted to arresting people?
"You come with me too!"
Zhou Yingying passed by Wang Hao and said coldly to him.
"Me? But I haven’t broken the law, why do you need to arrest me?"
Wang Hao was taken aback.
"You’re a witness, you also need to come back with me to make a statement."
Zhou Yingying did not provide much explanation.
Wang Hao looked resigned, he had only come out to see Xia Xue off on her ride, and now, he had managed to land himself in the station.
Thinking about it, it really was quite unlucky, why didn’t he check the almanac before leaving the house today.
Arriving at the police station, Wang Hao found that there had been many changes since he’d last been there.
The police outpost had built a new building, not only becoming more imposing, but also increasing its staff.
After taking the statements, they let Wang Hao sit to one side, with nobody paying him any mind.
"Why did Zhou Yingying come even during her rest? Did she cause trouble again?"
"This time she’s arrested the town mayor’s son, I think she really isn’t afraid of the consequences!"
"That’s right, I heard that she had a poor relationship with the leadership at her last unit, which is why she was transferred down to our place."
After being called into the director’s office, Zhou Yingying’s colleagues started talking about her all at once.
They didn’t regard Wang Hao as an outsider at all, and he heard everything clearly.
He hadn’t expected Zhou Yingying, pretty and clever as she was, to seem a bit short-circuited when doing things, always wearing a stern face, as if everyone owed her a lot of money.
No wonder not a single colleague spoke well of her; they all seemed to be waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
"Stop talking, she’s coming out!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Seeing Zhou Yingying walk out of the director’s office with a gloomy face, a policewoman whispered a warning to the others.
Suddenly, everyone quieted down.
Wang Hao turned to look and saw Zhou Yingying with a disgruntled face; he guessed she must have been reprimanded.
"What’s the matter? Did you get a scolding?"
As soon as Zhou Yingying sat down, Wang Hao approached her and asked.
"It’s none of your business!"
Zhou Yingying replied irritably, slamming the file in her hand onto the desk.
"You know, being as pretty as you are, you should smile more at the director. A warm hand doesn’t slap a smiling face; he surely wouldn’t make things difficult for you."
Seeing that Zhou Yingying was in a bad mood, Wang Hao started giving her unsolicited advice.
Zhou Yingying couldn’t help but laugh after what Wang Hao said.
Wang Hao was curious; was it really that funny?
Just then, the director walked out of her office, and Wang Hao was taken aback as he realized the director was a woman!
But the last time he saw the director, it was a middle-aged man.
"Director Dong was just transferred here from the county, it’s just that..."
Zhou Yingying seemed to notice Wang Hao’s confusion and stopped explaining halfway through.
"Just like you, had a conflict with the leadership and got demoted, right?"
Wang Hao could tell from her hesitant manner that he had guessed correctly.
"Director Dong has been very kind to me, but this time I probably caused her trouble again."
Zhou Yingying said while looking down, her face full of grievance.
Normally Zhou Yingying wouldn’t have shared these things with Wang Hao, but her colleagues were gossiping behind her back, and she had overheard some of it, so it didn’t feel right talking to them either.
Thinking about it, it made sense; not only was Zhou Yingying beautiful, but she also had a significant relationship with the director, so it was inevitable that her colleagues would feel envious.
Just then, two people barged in furiously, and one of them started shouting as soon as they entered.
"Who arrested Zhao Xiaoming, come out here!"
