First, then, love.

He unlocked his screen and dialed a number directly.

The call was answered instantly.

"Director Li," He Zheng began, his voice deep and authoritative, "I have a case here: domestic violence, suspected of intentional injury and threats to personal safety. Yes, the person is with me, at Jinxiu Huating. The suspect's name is Wang Lei, he's in the building materials business, and the jurisdiction is the South Ring Road Police Station."

He explained the situation methodically, every word of which was on the line of the law.

"Send two reliable guys over here, and while you're at it, find out who's protecting him at the South Ring Police Station, and take care of them together."

hang up the phone.

He Zheng looked at Yin Xia, who was still trembling.

They didn't offer any words of comfort.

Because what victims need most at this time is not sympathy, but absolute security and clear guidance.

"Raise your head," He Zheng commanded in a deep voice.

Yin Xia was stunned by his aura and subconsciously raised her tear-streaked face.

"Listen," He Zheng stared at her, his eyes deep. "Domestic violence is not a family matter; it's intentional assault, a criminal offense."

"First, you stay here and don't go anywhere. I've already notified the city police, and a policewoman will come to take your statement in a little while."

"Second, do not wash your face or change your clothes. We will take you to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Forensic Identification Center for an injury assessment in a short while. These injuries may not qualify as minor injuries, but they are definitely enough to warrant his detention for fifteen days."

"Third, apply to the court for a personal safety protection order. If he dares to approach you again, the police will arrest him directly."

He Zheng spoke clearly and logically, his words ringing with conviction.

"With me here, he can't ruin your hands, nor can he get through this door."

Yin Xia stared blankly at He Zheng.

Suddenly, I felt like I was saved.

"Thank you... thank you..." Yin Xia covered her face and finally burst into tears.

Shu Yao sat beside Yin Xia, holding her hand.

She raised her head and looked at He Zheng standing in front of her.

The black combat uniform on the man's body looked reassuringly heavy under the light.

Her heart was brimming with emotion.

Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden "ding-dong".

The video intercom downstairs suddenly started ringing incessantly.

The shrill ringing of the bell echoed through the living room.

Yin Xia shuddered, screamed, and covered her head, shrinking into the corner of the sofa.

Shu Yao walked over and pressed the answer button.

The screen showed an image of the security booth.

The security guard looked anxious: "Mrs. He, there's a man at the gate who says he's looking for his wife and is trying to force his way in. Several of us can barely stop him! He's even carrying a steel pipe!"

The scene changes.

A man wearing a floral shirt and with a burly face was frantically banging on the iron gate outside the security booth, holding a half-meter-long water pipe.

"Yin Xia! You bitch! Get out here! I know you're in there!"

Wang Lei roared on the screen, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"You dare run! I'll kill you today!"

Shu Yao's face turned ashen, and she was about to speak.

A large hand reached over and switched off the walkie-talkie.

The video cuts off.

He Zheng turned around and walked towards the security door with a blank expression.

"Stay home and lock the door."

He pulled the doorknob and threw out a sentence without turning his head.

"I'll go down and teach him a lesson. Whose territory is this?"

*

"bite."

The elevator doors opened in the lobby on the first floor.

He Zheng strode out.

Outside the gate of the residential compound.

Wang Lei was wielding a rusty water pipe, frantically smashing the explosion-proof glass of the security booth.

"Bang! Bang!"

White cracks appeared on the glass.

"Open the door! Let that bitch surnamed Yin get out here! What business is it of yours to interfere in my family affairs? Believe me or not, I'll make sure all of you watchdogs are out of a job tomorrow!"

Wang Lei had a fleshy face, bloodshot eyes, and reeked of cheap alcohol.

Three security guards, holding riot forks, stood inside the iron gate, bracing against the lock, sweating profusely with tension.

"Sir, if you keep causing trouble, we'll really call the police!" the security captain shouted.

"Report this! I have connections! The deputy director of the South Ring Police Station is my sworn brother! Let's see who dares to arrest me!" Wang Lei was extremely arrogant. He raised a steel pipe and smashed it hard against the lock of the iron door.

"Click".

Suddenly, the small door to the pedestrian passage next to us was pushed open from the inside.

Wang Lei paused, then suddenly turned his head.

A man dressed in a black SWAT uniform emerged from the shadows, one hand in the pocket of his overalls.

The dim light from the streetlights shone on his stern face.

His eyes were like those of someone looking at a dead person.

"Who the hell are you? Mind your own business! Get out of my way!" Wang Lei pointed at He Zheng with a steel pipe, threatening him fiercely.

He Zheng didn't say anything.

He walked straight up to Wang Lei, the two of them less than half a meter apart.

He was a head taller than Wang Lei, looking down at him condescendingly.

"The deputy director of the South Ring Police Station?" He Zheng sneered, his voice not loud, but as icy as ice. "Try and see if he dares to answer your call today."

Wang Lei was so intimidated by his imposing aura that he took a half step back, but the alcohol took effect and he acted impulsively.

"I'll kill you!"

He roared, swung the steel pipe in his hand, creating a gust of wind, and smashed it directly down on He Zheng's head.

Exclamations came from the guard booth.

The moment the steel pipe fell, He Zheng quickly reached out his left hand and grabbed Wang Lei's wrist, which was holding the pipe.

With a sudden burst of strength from his waist, his five fingers snapped downwards.

"what!"

Wang Lei let out a pig-like scream, and the steel pipe in his hand crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Immediately afterwards, He Zheng suddenly raised his right knee and slammed it hard into Wang Lei's abdomen.

Wang Lei's eyes bulged out, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't even make a sound. His whole body curled up in pain like a boiled shrimp.

He Zheng took the opportunity to twist his hands behind his back and kicked him in the back of the knee.

"thump."

Wang Lei knelt heavily on the ground, his face pressed against the cold asphalt, his whole body convulsing in pain.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

The security guards were dumbfounded.

That skill level is just like a killer from a movie.

"Waaaah~~"

In the distance, the wailing of police sirens could be heard.

Two patrol cars with flashing red and blue police lights braked suddenly and stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Four uniformed police officers got out of the car, carrying batons.

"Don't move! Police!"

The person leading the team was a young police officer.

He rushed over, just as he was about to pin the man down, when, by the light of the streetlamp, he saw the face of the man with one knee on the suspect's back.

The young police officer stiffened, immediately stood at attention, and instinctively saluted: "Captain He!"

He Zheng released his grip, stood up, and patted off non-existent dust from his trouser legs.

"The person is now in your possession. He is suspected of intentional assault, disorderly conduct, and threatening with a weapon."

He Zheng pointed at Wang Lei, who was writhing on the ground in pain, and said coldly, "This bastard claims he's sworn brothers with the deputy director of your South Ring Police Station. Go investigate. If you can't find out, I'll personally report this to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Supervision Department tomorrow."

The young police officer broke out in a cold sweat, glaring fiercely at Wang Lei on the ground: "Captain He, don't worry! This bastard is a complete liar! Our station chief hates people like him the most! We'll investigate this thoroughly!"

The police quickly handcuffed Wang Lei and dragged him into the police car like a dead dog.

The farce ended cleanly and decisively.

He Zheng turned around and walked back to the gate of the residential area.

The security captain rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Mr. He, thank you so much for today!"

He Zheng nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

*

Home.

Yin Xia has been taken away by a policewoman sent by the Municipal Public Security Bureau to give a statement and undergo a medical examination to assess her injuries.

The living room returned to silence.

Shu Yao sat on the sofa, watching He Zheng push the door open and come in.

The man was unharmed. He walked to the entryway cabinet, picked up the cold homemade takeout food, and turned to go into the kitchen.

"bite."

The microwave oven started operating.

Shu Yao walked over, leaned against the kitchen door frame, and looked at his broad back.

"Is it resolved?" she asked.

"Yes. The detention center provides food and lodging; he should be able to stay there for a while."

He Zheng turned around and looked at her. "Don't rush into things like this again. Call me immediately if there's any danger, understand?"

Shu Yao pouted: "I didn't rush forward, I locked the car doors. Besides, I knew you'd be back soon."

He Zheng walked over and pinched her cheek with his large hand: "At least you're still thinking straight."
