"Stop your nonsense. Once we get to the station, I'll see how tough you can be," Officer Gao sneered.
Seeing his subordinate hesitate, he himself rushed forward and handcuffed Song Qiao.
"Kid, you were right."
"It's going to be very difficult for you to get these handcuffs off today."
With that, he grabbed Song Qiao and prepared to leave.
"Honey!"
Xia Yuqing, lying in bed, her face turned ashen as she saw Song Qiao about to be taken away.
She couldn't help but let out a cry, jumping off the bed and throwing herself into his arms.
"Honey, it's all my fault. I've gotten you into so much trouble."
Xia Yuqing's voice was choked with sobs. Song Qiao felt a chill run down his spine.
What was going on?
As far as he remembered, the last time Xia Yuqing hugged him like this was before his rebirth.
"Please, don't arrest Song Qiao."
"This all started because of me. I promise you, Sui Jiangchuan, my condition is that you let Song Qiao go."
As if she had just thought of something, she suddenly knelt before Sui Jiangchuan and pleaded with him to show mercy.
"Sigh."
Song Qiao sighed helplessly.
Even though he had said he no longer had feelings for Xia Yuqing, seeing her like this still caused him immense pain.
He walked forward and helped Xia Yuqing back onto the bed.
Turning around, he glared at Officer Gao and said coldly, "Wait for me a few minutes. Let me make a call."
Without waiting for their response, he flipped his wrist. Despite the handcuffs, he skillfully pulled his phone from his pocket.
After a moment of thought, he dialed Li Changshan, with whom he had a strained relationship.
"Hello, Director Li? It's Song Qiao."
Song Qiao's tone was nonchalant.
On the other end of the line, Li Changshan was silent for a good five or six seconds, almost dropping his phone.
"Mr. Song, is there something you need?"
Ever since he had been reprimanded by the Provincial Chief last time, he had been terrified of Song Qiao, this person he couldn't afford to offend.
"One of your subordinates, an officer surnamed Gao, handcuffed me without asking any questions."
"I wonder how Director Li plans to resolve this?"
Song Qiao continued to ask calmly.
But for some reason, Li Changshan shuddered violently.
"Mr. Song, please wait a moment. I'll go over there immediately and teach that scoundrel a lesson."
"Alright, Central Hospital, inpatient department. I'll be waiting for Director Li to bring me justice."
Song Qiao chuckled lightly and hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"Kid, did you come from a circus?"
"I have to admit, your act is quite convincing."
"You even managed to find a plant to support you."
Officer Gao clearly didn't take the situation seriously. He raised an eyebrow and mocked Song Qiao sarcastically.
This caused Sui Jiangchuan and the others in the room to burst into laughter.
"I advise you to come with me obediently. If you waste my time."
"I'll arrest your entire family and give them a good 'look after'."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The aunt, who had been hiding in the corner without daring to utter a sound, turned pale.
"Song Qiao, get lost! You're dragging our Xia family down!"
She screamed hysterically, her hair disheveled, like a madwoman.
"Officer Gao, please don't be in such a hurry."
Song Qiao smiled instead of getting angry. He completely ignored the aunt and sat down on a nearby chair, humming a little tune calmly.
"You..."
Officer Gao was so enraged he felt like his lungs would explode.
He lunged forward to forcibly apprehend Song Qiao.
Just then.
Li Changshan's panting voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Stop him immediately, Gao Dayuan, you scoundrel."
Before he could finish speaking, he rushed forward and slapped Gao Dayuan twice across the face.
"Director Li?"
Gao Dayuan exclaimed in shock, frozen on the spot, unsure of what to do.
"You bastard, how dare you lay hands on Mr. Song? Are you tired of living?"
"Do you know who Mr. Song is?"
He snatched the keys from Gao Dayuan's hand.
With a fawning expression, he approached Song Qiao.
"Mr. Song, it was a complete misunderstanding. I will discipline this brat properly once we get back."
"Allow me to unlock these handcuffs for you now."
He kept his head bowed, not daring to meet Song Qiao's eyes.
He had already mentally cursed Gao Dayuan's ancestors countless times.
"Wait."
Song Qiao flexed his arm and brushed aside Li Changshan's hand gently, as if by accident.
"Director Li, the one who tied the knot must untie it."
He said indifferently, casting a malicious glance at Gao Dayuan.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Song is right."
Li Changshan awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Gao Dayuan, hurry up and take off the handcuffs."
"If you dare to be slow again, you'll be demoted when we get back."
Gao Dayuan had never witnessed such a scene in his life.
He lost all courage to resist.
He trembled as he approached Song Qiao, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace.
"Mr. Song, I was wrong just now. I'll remove the handcuffs for you now, and I hope you'll be magnanimous..."
"Is this how you usually apologize and beg for forgiveness?"
"Didn't I warn you that it's easy to put these on, but difficult to take them off?"
Before he could finish speaking, Song Qiao rudely interrupted him.
With a thud.
Gao Dayuan knelt despairingly before Song Qiao.
*Slap, slap, slap.*
He slapped himself three times in a row.
"Mr. Song, please, just let me be like a fart and let me go."
"Let me remove these handcuffs for you."
Only then did Song Qiao seem satisfied and grudgingly allowed Gao Dayuan to unlock his handcuffs.
"Honey, you're amazing! When did you get to know a director? I never knew!"
Xia Yuqing's eyes sparkled as she praised Song Qiao, making him a little embarrassed.
Her father and mother exchanged glances, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their son-in-law, whom they had always looked down upon as useless, actually had such capabilities?
It seemed now that Yuqing wouldn't be at a disadvantage by being with him.
As soon as Director Li and Officer Gao left.
Sui Jiangchuan, full of indignation, rushed forward again.
"Kid, don't get cocky. So you know a director? Big deal."
"Just you wait. I'm calling for backup right now."
Sui Jiangchuan's face was contorted with rage as he frantically made calls to his friends for help.
"Hurry up. Call everyone you know who can fight. I want to see what kind of waves you can make."
Song Qiao replied indifferently, not even bothering to lift an eyelid at Sui Jiangchuan's threat.
"You said it yourself. I advise you not to back down later."
"I'll see if you even care about the Provincial Chief in Yangcheng."
As he spoke, he had already made the call to Zheng Shan.
He described himself as a victim, weeping and wailing, begging Zheng Shan to bring him justice...
