After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: You Called the Cops, So Why Did You Call Me?

TL: YYang

Faced with this kind of situation, Shen Yuan would not back down. Bullying the old, weak, women, and children, and even scolding a child, what kind of skill was that?

Guansha was the jurisdiction of his cousin Shen Wei’s police station, so it was just right for him to handle it.

When Zeng Lianfeng heard both her son and the other party making calls, she instantly sobered up a bit. She helped He Liang up from the ground. “Liangliang, let’s just forget it. Let’s not blow things up.”

Getting slapped was a small matter, but if two groups of people got into a fight and someone got hurt, it would be a big problem.

“Don’t worry about it. This idiot brought it on himself!”

He Liang had lost face and stared at Shen Yuan viciously, his eyes looking as if he wanted to eat him.

Shen Yuan smiled. It seemed this guy really hadn’t experienced the harshness of society. What era was this, still resorting to fighting and killing?

Su Xuewei tugged at Shen Yuan’s sleeve from behind and said worriedly, “Why don’t we call the police?”

Zhang Mei was also anxious now. She had been neighbors with He Liang for so many years and knew what kind of person he was. So she also advised, “Yes, fighting can’t solve the problem. This kind of dispute should be handled by the police.”

Shen Yuan was about to explain when a sudden screech of brakes sounded from downstairs.

Everyone looked down. A black Sagitar was parked downstairs, and several menacing young men quickly got out.

At this time, more people came out of their homes to watch the excitement. This kind of thing was not uncommon here. Zeng Lianfeng was usually a gossip and spoke very harshly.

And with a gangster son, everyone had suffered at their hands before.

Although it was a society ruled by law now, everyone was an honest and law-abiding person and didn’t want to cause trouble, so they would just endure it.

But this time, the mother-son duo of Zeng Lianfeng and He Liang had clearly run into a tough nut. Not only had He Liang been slapped loudly just now, but he had also been kicked to the ground.

While everyone was cheering inwardly, they suddenly saw several gangsters coming up from the car downstairs and couldn’t help but feel sorry for the young man.

Su Xuewei was even more anxious. She pulled Shen Yuan’s sleeve in a panic. “You… you should go now, or you’ll get hurt.”

Su’s mom also came out of the house with a cane to persuade him. Zhang Mei hadn’t expected things to get so out of hand and said anxiously:

“Yes, yes, you go first. We’re all old and weak women. They won’t dare to touch us.”

“I’ll call the police right now…”

But before she could finish, the group of arrogant spirited young men had already rushed upstairs. The leader, a bald man, shouted, “A Liang, who hit you?”

“Brother Long!”

When He Liang saw his big brother arrive, he immediately gained confidence. He quickly walked over to the bald man and exaggeratedly recounted Shen Yuan’s outrageous behavior.

The bald man, called “Brother Long,” took a step forward and swept a cold glance at Shen Yuan. “You’re the one who hit him?”

“Who are you?”

Shen Yuan didn’t know this bald man. He was probably this spirited young man’s big brother, but he had arrived quite quickly, even faster than the police.

He Liang couldn’t help but shout, “My Brother Long, you don’t…”

Suddenly, another screech of brakes sounded from downstairs, interrupting He Liang’s words. Everyone looked over.

It was actually a police car!

Brother Long’s eyelids twitched. He looked at He Liang. “You fucking called the cops, so why did you call me?”

He Liang hadn’t expected a police car to come either and was suddenly anxious. “I don’t know either. He said he was calling people too. I thought he was calling people from the streets.”

“Idiot, I’m leaving first.”

Brother Long turned to leave directly, but at this time, the two police officers in the car had already gone upstairs. When he saw the leading police officer, Brother Long became even more flustered. He subconsciously turned his head, not wanting him to see his face clearly.

“Li Wenlong, why are you everywhere?”

The leading police officer was Shen Wei, the deputy captain of public security at the Guansha Police Station. He recognized this bald head at a glance and stopped him. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Let me understand the situation first.”

Li Wenlong’s previous momentum had long since vanished. He said with a dejected face, “Captain Shen, I didn’t do anything. I just came to watch the excitement.”

“Watch the excitement? You brought so many people to watch the excitement?”

Shen Wei frowned and said in an unquestionable tone, “You stand here first. Wait for me to ask about the situation.”

Li Wenlong had no choice but to stand there with a bitter face. It was a society ruled by law now. He had actually never thought of fighting or anything like that. He had just come to support his little brother and see if he could extort some money.

He hadn’t expected to run into Shen Wei here. He had been caught by him many times before for committing crimes.

Watching Shen Wei walk towards the crowd, Li Wenlong was surprised to find that the young man was not only about the same height as Shen Wei, but also looked three or four parts similar.

‘These are obviously brothers!’

‘He Liang, I’ll fuck your mother!’

Li Wenlong glared at He Liang fiercely. ‘You asked me to come and join in the fun for this kind of thing. Are you out of your mind?’

He Liang was completely bewildered now. He hadn’t expected this either. He had just been posturing to scare Shen Yuan and hadn’t expected the other party to suddenly attack.

The other party had slapped him directly, and he had only fought back because his blood had rushed to his head.

Now that he saw that this police officer looked similar to Shen Yuan, he realized that he had kicked an iron plate.

Shen Yuan hadn’t called the police, but had called Shen Wei’s private number, so Shen Wei didn’t follow the procedure. He pulled Shen Yuan aside and asked in a low voice, “Brother, what’s the situation?”

Shen Yuan told his cousin the whole story. After hearing it, Shen Wei said with a smile, “You kid, playing the hero to save the beauty, are you?”

“This is called helping the weak and upholding justice. Your station should at least give me a banner, right?” Shen Yuan joked.

“Then how do you want to handle it?”

Shen Wei paused. “We can turn it into a police report. I’ll take them all back to make a statement and then proceed to the next step. But you and this family will have to come back to the station with me.”

“Let’s see if we can simplify it as much as possible. If that woman is willing to apologize to the child and then fix the water leak in the house, this matter can be considered over.”

Shen Yuan also roughly understood the police investigation process, but he didn’t want to make it so complicated, as it would also be very time-consuming.

“Alright, I’ll handle it.”

Shen Wei first had his two colleagues disperse the onlookers, then called the parties involved into the Su family’s house and tried to understand the situation as objectively as possible.

The mother-son duo of Zeng Lianfeng had completely lost their previous momentum. They were like little chickens, nodding repeatedly. Whatever Shen Wei said, they did.

Not only was the other party rich, but he also had a government background. What could they use to fight him?

Even though he had been slapped and had a bright red handprint on his face, He Liang didn’t dare to say anything more.

He had done some petty theft outside and already had a criminal record. Now, as soon as he saw the police, his legs went weak.

Hearing the other party’s demands, Zeng Lianfeng squatted down and looked at Su Jingjie, saying softly, “I’m sorry, little Jie. Auntie was a bit too harsh just now. Please don’t mind. Auntie apologizes to you.”

Su Jingjie didn’t speak. He timidly ran behind his sister, Su Xuewei, his big, watery eyes wide open.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Shen Wei said, “Alright, that’s it. Also, go and fix the water leak in your house.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll go right now.”

Zeng Lianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to stay here for another moment and quickly pulled He Liang upstairs.

The matter had reached this point, and Shen Yuan’s goal had been achieved.

First, the mother-son duo of Zeng Lianfeng and He Liang had been taught a lesson.

Second, after this incident, they would not dare to make things difficult for Su Xuewei’s family in the future, and other neighbors would also have a new perception of the Su family.

Shen Wei walked out of the house. Before leaving, he pulled Shen Yuan aside and whispered, “Your girlfriend?”

“No.”

Shen Yuan shook his head. “Brother Wei, you have to keep this a secret for me. I don’t want my family to know.”

“Haha, you kid, you have a handle on me now, don’t you?”

Shen Wei said with a chuckle, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and handing one over. “Don’t worry, as long as you don’t offend me, I won’t tell anyone.”

Shen Yuan shook his head and didn’t take the cigarette. He joked with a smile, “Then I’ll tell my sister-in-law that you still haven’t deleted your ex-girlfriend’s WeChat.”

“Holy shit, you dare!”

“…”

After Shen Wei left with his two colleagues, he spoke a few more words to Li Wenlong, who was waiting outside. Li Wenlong was like a good boy, nodding repeatedly. After listening, he took his brothers and drove away in a hurry.

With that, the farce came to an end. The gossiping neighbors couldn’t help but look at Shen Yuan.

Tsk tsk, rich and with a background. In this way, who would dare to offend Su Xuewei’s family?

Zhang Mei’s gaze towards Shen Yuan also changed. She said apologetically, “I’m really sorry to have troubled you this time. It’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have argued so fiercely with that Zeng woman just now.”

“It’s fine,” Shen Yuan said nonchalantly.

“Shen Yuan, thank you,” Su Xuewei looked up with her beautiful eyes and said sincerely.

Shen Yuan glanced at her. Su Xuewei had a very delicate face, with long, slender, and drooping peach blossom eyes. At this moment, her expression was slightly sad, giving her a pitiful look that could easily arouse a man’s protective instincts.

At the same time, Shen Yuan saw a favorability rating above Su Xuewei’s head for the first time.

[Favorability: 61]

“It’s fine. Just repay me well next time,” Shen Yuan said with a chuckle.

Su Xuewei didn’t understand Shen Yuan’s double entendre, but the little story in the rain at Qingzhu Lake suddenly appeared in her mind.

The thought of her drenched embarrassment made her face turn crimson, and she quietly lowered her head.

Su’s mom also thanked Shen Yuan and wanted to keep him for dinner, but Shen Yuan declined. So Su Xuewei walked Shen Yuan downstairs.

The two of them were silent all the way. When they reached the G-Wagon, Shen Yuan opened his arms and said, “Didn’t you just say you would repay me? Let’s have a hug first.”

Su Xuewei subconsciously took a step back, her face turning even redder. She lowered her head and said, “There are a lot of people.”

“What are you afraid of? It’s just a hug. Just think of it as a farewell between friends,” Shen Yuan said persuasively.

Su Xuewei hesitated for a moment. Remembering how Shen Yuan had stood up for her family just now, she finally mustered up the courage and, with a grateful heart, leaned in.

She had originally intended it to be a light touch, but she hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to take it a step further and hug her tightly.

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

‘This girl is also very well-endowed~’

“Sister, sister!”

At this moment, Su Jingjie suddenly ran down, carrying a red plastic bag in his hand. When he saw his sister hugging that big brother, his steps suddenly paused.
