Chapter 1321 - 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."
