Chapter 16: Police Woman Zhu Xiaoyue
Li Yong caught sight of the multitude around Li Xiaoyao and was taken aback, but upon closer inspection, he realized these men were all company security guards, and his expression instantly relaxed.
Li Yong stepped to the front, brandishing his knife at the security guards, cursing, "Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get lost; I’ll let you off today in light of our past work relationship. Now scram!"
The security guards instantly grew furious; they had tolerated Li Yong for a long time. They used to fear him and dared not lay a hand on him, but now, they weren’t afraid, at least not in this moment.
One particularly hot-blooded young security guard grabbed a beer bottle and strode forward, cursing fiercely as he went, "Motherfucker, I’ve tolerated you for long enough!"
The guard hurled the bottle at Li Yong, who dodged by tilting his head. The guard charged up and landed a punch directly onto his face.
This action set off Li Yong and the hooligans, who instantly surrounded the guard.
When Li Xiaoyao saw this, he waved his hand and exclaimed, "Brothers, go!"
The security guards surged forth like a tidal wave, for whom taking on small-time hooligans was a piece of cake.
Aside from their tattoos and machetes, these thugs practically had no real combat ability—they were trash.
Li Xiaoyao stood stock-still and watched as the normally oppressed security guards unleashed their fury on the hooligans, venting the frustrations and anger that had accumulated over time.
The hooligans were inwardly crying out in misery, their drunken courage knocked right out of them.
Who the fuck are these people, and why are they going harder than professional thugs like us? They just brandish their knives for show, but these guys actually wrested the knives from their hands and used them on them, gashing up their flesh.
Now, it was four security guards to one thug, with the hooligans curled up on the ground, protecting their heads as punches and kicks from the guards rained down on them.
Li Yong got the worst of it since he had always left a terrible impression on the guards.
The security guards now realized that Li Yong wasn’t so tough; he just knew these hooligans. With this insight, they went all out, pounding him until he was black and blue.
People in the vicinity who were eating stared, dumbstruck by the sudden group fight unfolding before them.
As for the brawl, the spectators would remember the gruesome scene vividly for years to come.
It was truly disastrous; the aggressive hooligans had no power to counter the attack and were beaten like dogs.
Someone called the cops, and just as the two sides finished fighting, several police cars arrived at the scene.
Upon hearing the police sirens, the little bit of impulse left in the security guards’ minds vanished in an instant, leaving only fear.
Fighting in public is a serious offense.
Confounded, the security guards all turned to Li Xiaoyao for guidance.
Li Xiaoyao also frowned—he hadn’t expected to attract the police. But it was no big deal; it was just the cops, and he could handle them.
Li Xiaoyao turned to the security guards and said, "Everyone, sit down and eat. Leave the rest to me."
This sentence made the security guards’ fondness for Li Xiaoyao shoot straight up.
The police barricaded the exit of the street, and a dozen armed officers quickly arrived, only to see a scene of more than ten hooligans lying on the ground, wailing in misery.
Seeing the police, the hooligans cried out, begging for help, "Police, uncle, please save us, please take us away!"
The police were at a loss for words. Judging by the situation at the scene, this gang looked like troublemakers, but now, they were on the receiving end of the injuries, which was just too bizarre.
A young policewoman stepped forward and asked, "What happened here?"
The thug with a swollen cheek pointed at Li Xiaoyao and his group, who were sitting down and eating barbecue as if nothing had happened, and said, "It was them, they beat us up like this."
Li Xiaoyao put down his skewer of meat, gave the security guards a look, signaling them to keep quiet and eat, then stood up and walked over. He glared at the thug and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but don’t talk nonsense. I have over forty customers eating who can prove that my friends and I were just eating barbecue."
The policewoman frowned and asked, "Then what about the injuries on them?"
Li Xiaoyao spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "They turned on each other. Just like in the movies, they were slashing each other with knives."
The policewoman glared at him and said, "Are you insulting my intelligence?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled at her uniform and said teasingly, "Officer, your uniform doesn’t quite fit."
The policewoman’s face turned angry, her right hand lightly brushed her waist, and she took out her handcuffs. With her left hand, she grabbed Li Xiaoyao’s wrist.
With two "clicks," Li Xiaoyao was handcuffed.
Li Xiaoyao’s expression didn’t change; he still had a jesting smile as he said, "Officer, handcuffing me without reason like this, be careful, I might file a complaint."
The policewoman said emotionlessly, "I’m Zhu Xiaoyue, badge number 9527. Go ahead and file a complaint if you want, but before you do that, I’m taking you back to the police station."
Li Xiaoyao wanted just that. He didn’t care about being taken to the station; he was sure he could handle these cops. But if those security guards were taken in, it was questionable whether they could come out unscathed.
Tang Tiantian upstairs saw the police handcuffing Li Xiaoyao. Excited, she stood up from her seat and quickly ran downstairs.
Li Xiaoyao turned his head and shouted to the security guards, "Remember to take Zhang Meng home and send me a text when you get there."
The security guards looked at Li Xiaoyao worryingly but nodded vigorously after hearing his words.
Zhu Xiaoyue directed the other officers, "Take all these thugs back. I’ll interrogate them myself."
Just as Zhu Xiaoyue was about to escort Li Xiaoyao to the car, a woman suddenly ran over from the side; it was Tang Tiantian.
Tang Tiantian ran over, stood beside Li Xiaoyao, and said to Zhu Xiaoyue, "Officer, he is innocent. It was the thugs who started it."
Li Xiaoyao looked at the suddenly appearing Tang Tiantian, quite surprised, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?"
Tang Tiantian replied, "I was eating next door."
Zhu Xiaoyue asked, "Did you see everything that happened?"
Tang Tiantian nodded vigorously, "I saw everything."
Zhu Xiaoyue said, "Then you come with me too, to assist with the investigation."
And so, Li Xiaoyao and Tang Tiantian were taken away by the police, along with Li Yong and a dozen thugs.
