Rebirth of the Super Prince
Chapter 44 The Police Disturbance
Gao Changhe's attitude made Lu Chong, who was originally distorted, dumbfounded, because he suddenly remembered a shocking case that happened in Qingyan clubhouse yesterday.But this is not the point, but a certain key person, a person with a strange sense of smell who was severely criticized by the chief for implicating them, the police.
As if to verify his conjecture, Lu Chong couldn't help winking at Ah Zheng, but the absurd thing is that not only Ah Zheng, but also Uncle Zhang and Uncle Huang turned a blind eye, as if all his attention was on Ye Jun and Gao Changhe is average.This made Lu Chong feel uncertain. He is not a fool. Based on the deep friendship that he had built into his life, it was impossible for him to show such an indifferent attitude. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that they seem to know something, so Choose the standpoint of being wise and safe.
"can."
Ye Jun was really surprised that Gao Changhe would appear here, but what was even more surprising was that he would come to the door so quickly. Combined with Bai Bing's vomit of bitterness before, and the expressionless rush to report just after returning to the police station, it is expected that in the future The military led by Gao Changhe may have already exerted great pressure on the Jiangling City Police Department.
However, Ye Jun really didn't understand Gao Changhe's motives in looking for him in such a hurry.If it is only for the sake of reasoning and empathy, persuading him to enter the military academy and contribute to the country in the future, this may be true, but there is no need to engage in such a big battle.The biggest possibility is the amazing 'sense of smell' shown yesterday. This is purely an excuse to bluff people. Naturally, it is impossible for Ye Jun to reveal all his reliance. Wouldn't that cause others to covet him?
Besides, Ye Jun really couldn't think of the reason why Gao Changhe was so eager to find him.
Seeing Ye Jun and Gao Changhe walk out of the office, Lu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he deliberately pretended to be nothing, rubbed his hands together, and smiled at Bai Bing: "Officer Bai, is he with the wanted man?" Serial killers involved?"
Originally, I thought that Bai Bing would explain in detail with a smile, but what came later was a cold expression without any emotion: "It doesn't matter who he is, the important thing is that you have already made a huge mess. The people in the ambulance are fine, otherwise, not only the entire police bureau will be criticized by the outside world, but even you, prepare for the worst."
"What? Someone hurt?"
Lu Chong was startled, and then remembered that before he fell into a coma, he had subconsciously pulled the pistol, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "What's going on? Officer Bai, wait, don't leave..."
"Sorry, Ah Chong, you can't leave this office now."
"Get out of the way! I want to explain clearly to Officer Bai!"
Lu Chong wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Zhao Zhen and others.Seeing that Lu Chong was determined to pester Bai Bing, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but lower his face, and sneered, "Lu Chong, I'm telling you, it's best not to move around, otherwise, I don't mind relaxing your muscles and bones for you." .”
After knowing the truth of the matter, Zhao Zhen had a deep disdain for Lu Chong, and seemed to know that Zhao Zhen was not easy to mess with Lu Chong. He just stared at the other person's eyes that didn't seem to be joking, and then looked angrily at Lu Chong who was still in the office and sighed. Dong Biao roared, "Little Biaozi, tell me, what's going on?"
"A Chong! I let you get killed!"
Dong Biao was a clever ghost. Seeing Lu Chong approaching with a murderous look, he knew that no one would help him at this juncture, so he put on a cute and pitiful look, and lamented: "Ah Chong, you have stabbed a hornet's nest. Who will you mess with?" No, why bother with them?"
"Dare you know who they are from the beginning, why didn't you tell me?"
The weird atmosphere made Lu Chong's heart suddenly jump. First, Bai Bing's blatant accusation, Zhao Zhen and others' disdain, and the indifferent attitude of his colleagues who had huddled together in the past, plus Ah Zheng, Uncle Zhang, etc. Keeping a distance from Uncle Huang intentionally or unintentionally, everything made Lu Chong feel deeply afraid.At this moment, when he heard that Dong Biao had already known the identities of Ye Jun and Liang Hao, he immediately grabbed Dong Biao by the collar and roared, "Are you happy because you think I'm unlucky? Are you satisfied now?"
"I tried to remind you several times, but you scolded me back. You still have the face to blame me? Let go! Damn, brothers, get rid of this lunatic!"
The more Dong Biao thought about it, the more useless he became. Seeing Lu Chong treating him unreasonably, he suddenly became angry.With an order, the hooligans who were caught together pulled the two of them away with all their strength, and occasionally kicked Lu Chong hard when no one was paying attention.
"There is a kind! Reverse, reverse!"
Lu Chong, who was already in a daze, was quickly pulled away by these hooligans. Seeing the footprints on his body, he suddenly trembled with anger, pointed at Dong Biao and others, and shouted: "I will sever all ties with you today. Don't fall into Lao Tzu's hands, otherwise, I must let you know Lao Tzu's methods!"
Dong Biao straightened his collar with anger, and said with a sneer, "Hmph! You lunatic, you don't even know who you've made a huge mess of. He might not survive tonight!"
"joke!"
Lu Chong sneered, although he faintly felt that he might have kicked the iron plate this time, but the worst thing he could do was pack up and leave, even if he shot and wounded someone, he would be sentenced to jail at worst.Therefore, the confident Lu Chong really did not believe Dong Biao's words that he would not survive tonight.
Dong Biao was about to thwart Lu Chong's arrogance, when suddenly, he seemed to hear a noise, subconsciously glanced at the slightly noisy office door, screamed suddenly, and crawled to the corner of the wall.
As if infected by Dong Biao's expression, Lu Chong turned his head subconsciously, intending to take a look at what happened to scare Dong Biao into such a state.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, your heart throbs violently, and you can see a tall bald man rushing in angrily holding a wooden stick, followed by three or five big men in black suits.The tall bald man looked around first, and finally his eyes fell on Dong Biao, and he laughed angrily for a moment: "I should have smashed you to death with a stick just now!"
"God of Wealth, it's not me! It's none of my business!"
Seeing that the God of Wealth of Jiangling City was approaching step by step, Dong Biao was so frightened that he went limp and knelt on the ground, pointing at Lu Chong, who was still in a daze, and shouted: "It's him! It's this bastard! Everything is wrong!" This grandson did it! It's none of my business! God of Wealth, please do me a favor and don't mess with me!"
Hu Youcai's appearance instantly stunned the police who lived on the scene. In the huge Jiangling City, who doesn't know the word "God of Wealth"?As the police who supervise and protect the daily safety of Jiangling City, they are naturally not unfamiliar with this giant Buddha. Even the memorandum file locked in the police station, the God of Wealth alone occupies an entire table.
However, as the God of Wealth with a huge backing, he is obviously not someone that the police in Jiangling City can molested at will. Even if a newcomer enters the police station every year, he will be dragged to a remote office alone by the team leader, and the police will tell him not to Offend some important people in Jiangling City, otherwise, you will be waiting to sleep in the dead end of the street!
"Pooh!"
Under the watchful eyes of many policemen, Hu Youcai spat a mouthful of foam at Dong Biao, then without saying a word, raised the stick in his hand, and slammed it hard at Lu Chong's thigh.
"what!"
The pain from his thigh brought Lu Chong back to reality, and he kept rolling on the ground with his legs hugged. Hu Youcai's stick obviously kept his hand, at least it didn't hit his knee.But the police present who witnessed this situation all glanced their heads rationally, or turned around and left. Even if some stunned youths who didn't know why wanted to stop them, they would be dragged away by the old fritters around them immediately.
"You bastard, how dare you shoot my brother?"
Hu Youcai coughed, squeezed out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then spit it on Lu Chong's face. He raised the wooden stick in his hand and pressed it against Lu Chong's face that was gradually distorted by the pain. Which green onion? Are you impatient to live, who doesn’t want to mess with me, dare to mess with my brother? Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance, I’ll give you 10 minutes to call someone, I want to see which bastard in Jiangling City is you Backstage!"
"do not move!"
Seeing that Dong Biao seemed to want to hide away, Hu Youcai immediately roared. These words were extremely effective, and immediately frightened Dong Biao to stay where he was, not daring to move.
"Don't think that if you are in the underworld, I dare not do anything to you. I warn you, this is the police station, not a place where you can be rampant!"
Hearing that Ye Jun and Liang Hao had such a big relationship with the God of Wealth, Lu Chong immediately realized that this matter could not be dealt with, and only then did he see the real reason why Dong Biao was so impatient to draw a line with himself.But assuming that this is the police station, he has some confidence, and seeing Bai Bing walking towards the office, Lu Chong, who doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of the goddess of his dreams, can only bite the bullet and confront the God of Wealth in Jiangling City.
"Really? Then keep your eyes wide open for me, to see if I've been rampant here for a while, and if someone doesn't know how to stop me!"
Hu Youcai sneered, and at the same time motioned Lu Chong to look around with a teasing look.Lu Chong glanced at the office subconsciously, and suddenly felt a chill on the soles of his feet, because even Ah Zheng and others who had the closest relationship with him were missing.In other words, inside and outside the office, except for Bai Bing walking towards this side in a hurry, there are no people left.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing Hu Youcai holding up the wooden stick in his hand, Lu Chong couldn't hold back the force of concentration anymore, and shouted in horror: "Help! Help!"
"Ah Cai, what's going on?"
Suddenly, there was an interruption from outside the door, Hu Youcai frowned, and even several big men in black who were following Hu Youcai all looked at Cheng Yaojin who had rushed out halfway with unkind expressions.
However, when Hu Youcai saw who was coming, he immediately waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to act rashly, and then said with a smile: "Mayor Han, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Mayor Han, save me!"
Seeing that the person who came was Han Kuangqing, the deputy mayor of Jiangling City who was often interviewed on TV, Lu Chong seemed to have met his savior.
On the contrary, Han Kuangqing ignored Lu Chong's plea for help, and instead asked in confusion, "Where's Xiao Jun? He's okay? He rushed over just after receiving a call from Police Officer Bai. What's the matter? Why did it happen so well? Big deal, who got shot?"
"Xiao Jun is fine, Liang Hao blocked a shot for him, but his condition is not very good, he has already been sent to the city hospital. As for Xiao Jun, he should be meeting guests upstairs."
The conversation between Hu Youcai and Han Kuangqing completely disheartened Lu Chong, and even Dong Biao and the others, who dared not move around, were terrified.Dare to feel that the middle school student who doesn't show the mountains and the water has such a big weight, not only can the God of Wealth of Jiangling City come to visit in person, even the deputy mayor who is often photographed on TV and newspapers hastily rushed over.
Han Kuangqing glanced at Lu Chong, whose eyes were sluggish, and frowned, "Who is he?"
"He's the bastard who pointed his gun at Xiao Jun."
Hu Youcai's answer didn't move Han Kuangqing too much. He seemed to have expected this result. He glanced at Lu Chong indifferently and said indifferently: "I'm just looking for someone. Threat, I suggest you report to the police immediately."
After finishing speaking, Han Kuangqing turned his head and left without showing any sense of guilt.But this kind of answer made Hu Youcai and others burst into laughter. After all, this is the police station, and the victim is an out-and-out policeman, which has to be full of irony.
Bai Bing had been standing outside the door, and she hadn't looked at Lu Chong from the very beginning. When Han Kuangqing left, she followed behind the deputy mayor of Jiangling City.The current situation has become clear. If anyone gets involved with Lu Chong, it will definitely not be a good thing, even though many people have guessed how miserable Lu Chong's future fate will be.
"Close the door."
Hu Youcai glanced at Lu Chong, who was ashen, and then ordered his subordinates to close the door and the curtains. Immediately, the originally bright office was immediately covered with darkness.I saw Hu Youcai walking towards Dong Biao who was trembling and dare not move, and at the same time said something that made Lu Chong's eyelids tremble: "Kill him, after you go to jail, I guarantee that you will not be sentenced to death, but you also Don’t even think about leaving the prison cell again. Of course, you can also choose not to kill, anyway, I don’t mind laying an extra corpse here!”
As if to verify his conjecture, Lu Chong couldn't help winking at Ah Zheng, but the absurd thing is that not only Ah Zheng, but also Uncle Zhang and Uncle Huang turned a blind eye, as if all his attention was on Ye Jun and Gao Changhe is average.This made Lu Chong feel uncertain. He is not a fool. Based on the deep friendship that he had built into his life, it was impossible for him to show such an indifferent attitude.
