"Who, who exactly are you?" Wang Er Biao looked at Wu Zheng, his face stern, as he emerged from the inner room. At first, he thought it was a公安 (public security officer), but now he saw the other person was actually a soldier.
Wu Zheng's eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at the two men. Without answering, he walked towards them step by step.
Wang Er Biao and Gou Zi backed away fearfully, inch by inch. They had witnessed Wu Zheng's skill earlier. Not to mention there were only the two of them now, even if there were ten more, they likely wouldn't be his match.
"Ah!!!"
Wu Zheng kicked Gou Zi's kneecap. Immediately, with a 'crack', his lower leg bent sideways in a strange, unnatural angle that no normal person could achieve.
Wang Er Biao's face instantly turned pale with fear.
"My brother is risking his life on the front lines, and you scum dare to bully my sister-in-law? Today, I'm taking both your dog lives!" The man who was usually affable, even always smiling, now had an icy chill in his eyes.
"Bro, brother, big brother, it was our fault, we shouldn't have, ah..." Before Wang Er Biao could finish speaking, a piercing pain shot through his finger. Yet, facing Wu Zheng, who towered over him like a god of slaughter, Wang Er Biao didn't dare to pull his hand out from under his foot, no matter how much it hurt.
"It's too late to realize your mistake now." Wu Zheng half-crouched down, his extended fingers slowly clenching into fists in front of him. The creaking sound made Wang Er Biao and Gou Zi's hearts tremble.
A man who had been on the battlefield and even spilled blood could not be resisted by ordinary people when his aura was fully unleashed.
Wang Er Biao's pupils contracted, and his whole body trembled slightly with fear.
Gou Zi, standing beside him, felt a warmth spread through his lower body as he lost control of himself.
"You're scared now? It's too late." Wu Zheng said, and then his iron fist landed squarely on Wang Er Biao's face. The latter instantly felt a strong taste of blood in his mouth and realized something hard had appeared. He opened his mouth and spat out a molar.
However, Wu Zheng gave him no chance to breathe. Left fist, right fist, each punch landed with a solid impact.
Chen Li Shu felt the surroundings were very noisy. The muffled thuds and the sounds of crying pleas gave her a headache. As she rubbed her forehead and sat up, she experienced a moment of disorientation. By the time she saw the scene before her, her consciousness instantly returned.
She had been kidnapped by Wang Er Biao and another man, and that man had even…
"Please, we really know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong..." Gou Zi, with a snotty nose and tears streaming down his face, repeatedly kowtowed to Wu Zheng, his broken leg dragging.
Wang Er Biao was already bruised and swollen, several teeth missing from his mouth, and his eyes were swollen to mere slits.
"Brother Wu?"
Seeing Wu Zheng continuously raining punches on Wang Er Biao, Chen Li Shu was startled. If he continued hitting like this, wouldn't Wang Er Biao be beaten to death?
"Sister-in-law, you're awake?" Wu Zheng turned his head upon hearing the voice. Seeing that she was safe, he finally felt relieved. "How is it, are you alright?"
Chen Li Shu shook her head. She glanced at the surroundings and the two men slumped on the ground, then looked up and asked, "Brother Wu, why are you here?"
Before Wu Zheng could answer, a 'bang' sounded from behind. Immediately, Li Zhi Wei, Wan Lian Sheng, and two other uniformed公安 officers entered.
When Li Zhi Wei saw Chen Li Shu standing safely in the middle of the room, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, you're alright, otherwise I really, really..." His throat felt blocked for a moment. Li Zhi Wei finally pulled up his sleeve and wiped away the large drops of sweat that had beaded on his eyelids.
"Comrade Chen Li Shu, how are you, are you alright?" Wan Lian Sheng stepped forward and asked with concern.
Chen Li Shu shook her head, indicating she was not seriously harmed.
"Chen Li Shu, were these two scum the ones who kidnapped you?"
Seeing her nod, Li Zhi Wei walked over to the two men who had collapsed on the ground and delivered a hard kick to each of them.
"Alright, Zhi Wei, we still need to take them back for questioning," Wan Lian Sheng said, his gaze falling on Wu Zheng, clearly showing some dissatisfaction with his use of vigilante justice.
Chen Li Shu saw this and quickly explained for Wu Zheng, "Director Wan, this is a colleague of my husband's from the same unit. He's like an elder brother to me. Those two men had improper intentions towards me, and my elder brother was just in a moment of urgency, perhaps he was a bit heavy-handed, but it was all because he was anxious to save me."
"They had the audacity to try to… to do what to you!"
Upon hearing Chen Li Shu's words, Li Zhi Wei's anger flared. He didn't care whether Wan Lian Sheng agreed or not and immediately started kicking the two men.
Still not satisfied after kicking them, he grabbed a stool nearby and was about to smash it down on their heads, saying, "Today, I'll send you two to see King Yama."
"My little ancestor, please calm down," Wan Lian Sheng said, startled by this. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the stool from Li Zhi Wei's hand. "They committed crimes and will be punished by law. Don't interfere here."
Saying that, Wan Lian Sheng waved to his two subordinates to help the two men on the ground to the bureau. Then he turned back to Chen Li Shu and Wu Zheng and said, "We'll need you two to come with us to cooperate with the questioning."
Chen Li Shu nodded. As she walked out, Li Zhi Wei also followed. "I'll go with you too."
Wan Lian Sheng: "What are you going for?"
"I'm accompanying my friend. The公安 bureau isn't a pleasant place, I'm going to give her some courage."
Wan Lian Sheng: "..."
Meanwhile, the exam was only halfway through when Jiang Yu Wei suddenly felt unwell. She initially thought she could endure it, but within a few minutes, the discomfort turned into severe cramps, making her face turn pale with pain.
She wanted to go to the restroom, but she had only answered half the questions. Students were not allowed to leave the exam room midway. If she raised her hand now, it would mean she chose to submit her paper. But if she didn't…
Despite her strong reluctance, Jiang Yu Wei eventually raised her hand tremblingly to signal the invigilator that she was submitting her paper.
Yang Li Li looked at her pale face and hurried steps, her eyes flickering slightly before she indifferently buried her head back into her work.
Sun Ling was still humming proudly at home. She was about to start working, and she was sure the expressions on the faces of those onlookers would be quite something.
While she was secretly pleased, she suddenly heard a knock at the door. Sun Ling glanced at the time, assuming the exam was over. She thought it was Wang Er Biao coming to report, even though she had told him before that after he finished this task for her, they should never meet again. But she was in a good mood now and suddenly wanted to know what Chen Li Shu's reaction would be when she found out she missed the exam. So, she got up and walked to the door in a few steps, opening it.
"How did it go? That..."
Before Sun Ling could finish speaking, she looked up and saw two uniformed individuals standing at her doorstep, and her expression immediately changed.
"Are you Sun Ling? Please come with us to the bureau to help us understand some things."
