Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 168 They actually brought people to our door.
The mother and daughter were chatting when they heard a commotion in the yard. Someone was calling He Yuzhu's name, and they also heard something about the police.

Then I heard, "It's him."

Wang Cuiping wasn't in a hurry to go out. She didn't know He Yuzhu's current rank, but he could basically handle anything that happened in Beijing. Of course, if a special department came, that would be a different story.

She glanced at Xiaoman, whose expression seemed a little off, with a puzzled look.

"Xiaoman, tell me, what happened to you and Zhuzi on the road today?"

Xiaoman, filled with righteous indignation, recounted what had happened at the school gate.

Wang Cuiping muttered to herself, "This kid gets promoted so fast, he gets promoted several ranks after just one trip."

Then he said to Xiaoman, "Come on, come out with me. I want to see whose child dares to openly slander our Zhuzi."

Wang Siyu happily put on her shoes, ready to go out and see the excitement, when Wang Cuiping said, "Wang Siyu, you stay home obediently, do you hear me?"

She wilted, said "Oh," and obediently returned to sit on the kang (heated brick bed).

When the mother and daughter went out, the yard was full of people, and it was obvious that people from the front yard had also come to see what was going on.

Hearing the noise, the old lady called out to Xu Damao. Xu Damao had just stepped out when he heard her calling him, so he rushed over and helped her to the central courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, they saw He Yuzhu standing in the middle of the courtyard, opposite several people in uniform, a middle-aged woman, and a young man.

The middle-aged woman was talking to the head of the local police station.

Director Wu Changfa is really annoyed right now. He had already gone home, but a phone call summoned him back to the station, and he couldn't refuse.

Because the person who came was his former superior's wife, who had heard that their son had been beaten up.

When he got to the police station and asked around, he regretted coming back, because it was He Yuzhu who had assaulted him.

He Yuzhu knew all too well that every combat hero, advanced worker, and anti-espionage hero (protecting steel) was a positive role model. He had listened to the reports of heroes and role models more than once, and each time he was so excited that he wished he could personally go into battle to kill the enemy.

So he asked what happened. Tan Yong wasn't stupid. He gave a rough explanation, but the main point was that He Yuzhu's ID was fake, and then he kicked him.

He didn't mention that he stopped people from leaving and even tore up their ID cards because he liked Qiao Lingyi.

Qiao Lingyi, Wu Changfa knows her too. She's the adopted daughter of Wang Cuiping, the head of the Municipal Bureau's Investigation Section. She's a talented woman from the Jiaodaokou area and a student at Sijiu City University.

Wu Changfa knew that He Yuzhu had retired from the military and was also aware of his rank. When Tan Yong mentioned that he had a colonel's ID card without a military unit number, he became more concerned. It was highly unlikely that it was fake, but knowing these well-known figures in the area was part of their job.

With Tan Yong's mother nagging on the side, Wu Changfa had no choice but to call two colleagues and follow the mother and son to the No. 95 compound.

Originally, he came to find out the situation, so Wu Changfa did not directly and arbitrarily say that He Yuzhu could not be an imposter. He would only know after asking.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Tan Yong started making a fuss, saying something like, "Everyone come and see! There's a guy in your courtyard named He Yuzhu who's impersonating a military officer and even hitting people!"

That shout had a significant impact; everyone ahead of them, along with their families, rushed towards the Intermediate People's Court.

Who doesn't love a good show? These days, spiritual nourishment is scarce.

As for the man's claim of impersonating a military officer, that's nonsense. Everyone in the compound knows he's a real soldier who came from the battlefield; why would he need to impersonate someone? Of course, nobody knows how he ended up wearing a military uniform again after being demobilized.

This was the first time they had ever heard of He Yuzhu hitting someone, and that was what was really intriguing. Why did he hit someone? Who was he hitting? They were eager to know which fool had offended this scoundrel.

Wu Changfa frowned when he heard the boy shout. Originally, it was a small matter, but with this commotion, it was bound to become a big deal. You know, Wang Cuiping also lived in this courtyard, and He Yuzhu's mother was a coordinator at the street office. The street office director, Wang Hongxia, and Director Zhao had a good relationship with the He family. This family was not to be trifled with. He had seen it firsthand during the two years when He Yuzhu went to fight in the war.

He Yuzhu had just returned to his room from the main house and was preparing to assemble the hunting rifle bullets. It was quite a bit of work to assemble them himself. Before he even started, he heard a commotion outside, so he put the bullets and other supplies away.

He got up and walked towards the door, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw a group of people coming towards his east wing. The one in front was none other than the kid who had been kicked by him that afternoon.

The young man got excited when he saw him, pointing at him and saying, "Comrade, it's him! It's him who impersonated a military officer and hit me."

Wu Changfa interrupted directly, saying, "Student Tan, please don't slander Comrade He Yuzhu, or even your father won't be able to protect you."

"Xiao Wu, why are you bringing up Xiao Yong?" Aunt Tan said from the side.

"Sister-in-law, you need to keep your son's mouth shut. He Yuzhu is a war hero who was discharged from the military due to injuries. Aren't you afraid that he might sue your son for defamation?"

Why didn't you say so just now?

"Your son just said that He Yuzhu had a colonel's badge, so I came with you to ask him about it."

"Then go ahead and ask. Didn't you say he was discharged from the military? I want to see where he got his credentials. If they're fake, you know what to do, right?"

"I don't need you to remind me of that."

The two police officers who came over didn't step forward. Instead, they stood behind Wu Changfa as if they were watching a commotion. They were big fans of He Yuzhu. At the hero report meeting, these police officers were the most enthusiastic.

Although several years have passed, they still look at He Yuzhu with the same admiration. This is what idol worship was like in that era. They were chasing after heroes and role models.

"Then hurry up and ask. I want to see who this kid is, daring to hit my son."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, did you go to Sijiu City University this afternoon, show your ID, and assault someone?"

"Yes."

"Look, look, he admitted it, why haven't you arrested him yet?"

"Shut up! I'm asking you a question, why are you interrupting? Sister-in-law, you need to keep a closer eye on your son, or he'll cause you trouble in the future."

“I will take care of my son. He has already admitted it, so why don’t you take action?”

"Hmph, you two had better shut up, or don't blame me for not giving Chief Tan any face."

"you"

He Yuzhu watched the farce unfold before him. He wanted to laugh, but he also felt it wouldn't be good to be too disrespectful to Director Wu, since his family lived in this area. So he was having a hard time holding back.

At this moment, Wang Cuiping had already stood next to Chen Lanxiang.

The old lady asked first, "Wang girl, is Zhuzi alright?"

Wang Cuiping whispered, "Grandma and sister-in-law are fine. What could happen to Zhuzi? He's just a suitor of Xiaoman. He caused a little trouble and got beaten up. I've asked him everything. Even if it gets taken to the authorities, we're not afraid. We'll just watch."

"Are you sure everything's alright? That family sounds like they're high-ranking officials?" The old lady was still worried; the idea that the common people shouldn't fight against officials was deeply ingrained in her.

"Don't worry, your eldest grandson is incredibly capable."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Over there, Wu Changfa started asking questions again.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please recount the events of this afternoon in detail, and show us your identification so we can verify it."

“No problem.” He Yuzhu took out his ID and handed it to Wu Changfa.

Wu Changfa was no clueless young man. He broke out in a sweat as soon as he flipped through the ID. He was very familiar with this ID; he had seen too many of them in the past few years. Catching spies was not something that they could handle alone, especially the difficult ones.

So they had dealt with the people in that department quite a bit. After looking at it, he held the certificate in both hands and was about to return it to He Yuzhu when a hand reached out and snatched it away. Wu Changfa was caught off guard and got his hands on it.

The man snatched the ID, examined it closely, held it high in his hand, and said disdainfully, "Still saying it's not fake? I've seen my old Tan's ID before. This one has no military region, no unit number, and no department he works for. Except for the seal, which looks real, you still say it's not fake?"

"Give me back my documents," He Yuzhu said coldly.

"It's a fake, so what if I don't return it to you?"

Give me back my ID.

"If I don't return it today, what's the point of keeping this worthless document?" With that, the woman started to tear up the document like her son.

"Comrade Yu Lan, do you know what you're doing? Hurry up and return the documents to Comrade He Yuzhu." Wu Changfa didn't expect his superior's wife to be so bold. He no longer even called her "sister-in-law" and shouted sternly.

As he shouted, He Yuzhu had already moved. The document in Yu Lan's hand disappeared, and she flew out. The people behind her hurriedly dodged, and Yu Lan skimmed across the ground and went a long way.

It let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Hey, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am? Believe me or not, I'll send you to jail tomorrow, and your family won't be able to work, and that little brat won't be able to go to school either."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changfa was so frightened that he rushed over to cover her mouth, but He Yuzhu was faster.

"Slap, slap." Two big slaps left Yu Lan speechless; her mouth was twisted from the blows.

She actually dared to threaten him with her family; she really thinks she's something.

"You dare hit my mother? You're finished, kid! Chief Wu, you all saw it! This kid hit someone in broad daylight, and you're not arresting him?" Tan Yong ran over to help his mother up and roared angrily.

He wouldn't dare rush over and fight He Yuzhu to the death. The man was clearly a trained fighter. He hadn't even seen the kick and the two slaps clearly, just like the kick he received that afternoon. He couldn't even react in time.

"He, He Yuzhu, you've gotten yourself into big trouble." Wu Changfa, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He never expected He Yuzhu to be so reckless.

"Director Wu, I won't go into what happened before. Her son did the same thing as his mother. You can ask the security department of Beijing University. They can all vouch for me."

"Hey, let's not talk about that kid. Why are you doing this? Do you even know who she is?"

"Who she is doesn't matter. This certificate is equivalent to a medal awarded to me. She dared to tear it up. If I killed her on the battlefield, I would think she would be the one who caused the biggest disaster, right?"

"You, you're really hot-blooded. I can't handle this. You're coming with me. I need to find someone who can."

"no problem."

Things developed so fast that even the onlookers were still a bit confused, and only a few people understood what was going on.

For example, Wang Cuiping, He Daqing was about to make a move, but she and Xu Damao held him back tightly.

The old lady, Chen Lanxiang, and Xiaoman all looked worried, especially Xiaoman. She knew that Tan Yong's family was not ordinary, but fighting among young people was too normal in this area, and they usually wouldn't tell their families.

Things are different now. Brother Zhu even beat up someone's mother. Wouldn't that lure out someone's father? How can we not be worried?

Wang Cuiping can no longer pretend to be invisible.

He walked up to Wu Changfa and asked in a low voice, "Old Wu, who are these two people?"

“Section Chief Wang, you’re home? Why didn’t you stop Xiao He just now? That kid’s father is Tan Hua, one of my old superiors.”

"Can I stop him, old commander? Is this how you raise a child?"

“It wasn’t like this before, who knew it would be like this now. Section Chief Wang, why don’t you come back with us and be a witness?”

"can."

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, go help him up and take him back to the station."

"Director." The two colleagues were very reluctant.

"This is an order."

"Yes."

The mother and son glared at He Yuzhu with murderous eyes. Tan Yong also gave Xiaoman a threatening look. Xu Damao saw this and immediately stepped in front of Xiaoman, looking at Tan Yong with cold eyes and a sneer on his lips.

The kid was just thinking about whether to find a chance to cripple him when the look in his eyes made Tan Yong shudder involuntarily.

After He Yuzhu and the others left, Chen Lanxiang also chased away the rest of the people in the courtyard. On their way back, the group discussed what had happened.

This seems a bit exciting. He Yuzhu is too fierce, he starts hitting people as soon as he makes a move. That mother and daughter are obviously not ordinary people, otherwise why would the station chief say they've caused trouble?

The He family's house is now full of people. The little ones have all been moved to the inner room, where Chen Lanxiang has asked He Yushui to watch over them.

Then they asked Xiaoman in the main room what had happened that afternoon, but they still didn't know.

After clarifying the situation, Chen Lanxiang invited Xiaoman into the inner room as well.

He Daqing was smoking one cigarette after another in the main room, with Xu Damao keeping him company.

The old lady and Chen Lanxiang also sat in the main room, their faces full of sorrow and saying nothing.

You ask why we didn't discuss it? What's there to discuss? The two most capable people went there. If they can't handle it, who can?

Meanwhile, back at the station, Wu Changfa first separated the two groups and found each a room.

Tan Yong said he needed to make a phone call, and Wu Changfa hesitated for a moment but let him make the call anyway.

Then Wu Changfa himself started making phone calls to the municipal bureau and special departments.

Upon hearing this, the head of the municipal bureau immediately said he would be there shortly.

Team Leader Fang was also called back by his subordinates. He wasn't on the night shift today, and after hearing the situation, he muttered, "Why is this kid always causing trouble wherever he goes?"

He then made several phone calls, including to the military, who all told him to handle the matter with confidence, that they would not tolerate such things, and that they would continue to report it. How dare they threaten the hero's family? This is making the hero bleed and weep.

Wang Cuiping also made a phone call to Lao Zhao, briefly explaining the situation. Lao Zhao replied, "I understand. You wait here, Hongxia and I will be there soon."

Within about an hour, the office became quite lively, with several bureau chiefs arriving. However, they all had to greet Lao Fang with "Greetings, Chief!"

Tan Hua also arrived, accompanied by his bodyguard. He stormed into the station, ready to unleash his fury.

He even sent his bodyguard to bring He Yuzhu over, wanting to see who he was.

His guards were immediately dragged aside by the men led by Team Leader Fang, and then Tan Hua was taken aside for a talk by Lao Fang with a bewildered expression.

Not long after, He Yuzhu saw that another person, accompanied by a middle-aged man, was also taken away, including Yu Lan and Tan Yong and his son.

He Yuzhu guessed that it must be Tan Yong's father. Having a son and daughter-in-law like that is really unlucky.
