132: Chapter 131: Bending Over to Apologize 132: Chapter 131: Bending Over to Apologize “Turns out this ain’t no dream! Is this real?!” Director Zhang had completely lost his wits, feeling that with his own intelligence, he truly could not explain this situation. “Director Zhang! I will never let you off easily! Just wait to be sent to the investigation department, and I guarantee you’ll never recover from this fall for the rest of your life! Fancy being a cuckold, I’ll make sure you remain one!” Section Chief Chai’s eyes were already half red with rage, like a wolf on a full moon night, and after finishing speaking, he fiercely threw Director Zhang onto the ground. As Director Zhang heard this, he collapsed to the ground with his head tilted... and wet himself! “What’s going on here? Could it be... that there’s some ‘Immortal Pill’ in my sickroom that I’ve never noticed before?” Chen Qiuya opened her phoenix eyes wide and asked Zhao Mingjie, feeling that apart from this, she could find no other reasonable explanation. “Maybe there is...” Zhao Mingjie responded to Chen Qiuya, feeling that this was more likely related to Liu Hun, but instantly felt the huge stone weighing on her heart loosen. “Section Chief Chai! As the deputy director of the Taiping Town police station, Director Zhang openly attacked me with a knife! And Director Zhang, as the head of the county police department, protected his nephew’s violent acts. At the same time, he also slandered me, accusing me of assaulting an officer and causing disability. It seems you said the same thing just now, didn’t you?” Liu Hun said this to Section Chief Chai and immediately lifted Deputy Director Zhang up and pushed him towards the section chief. “I’ll fucking ruin you! I’ve been crippled by you! I’m going to kill you! Kill you!” Deputy Director Zhang clenched his fists, wishing nothing more than to beat Liu Hun to death right there and then, and with that, he tried to pounce on Liu Hun again. “Arrest him!” Section Chief Chai said sharply, pointing at Deputy Director Zhang. Deputy Director Zhang, who had threatened to kill Liu Hun like a rabid dog, was pinned down to the ground by three policemen and, with much difficulty, handcuffed. “And these two!” Section Chief Chai then pointed at Director Zhang, who was paralyzed on the ground in a puddle, and the tailor, who was scared stiff like a dead dog. After the three of them were under control, only then did Section Chief Chai approach Liu Hun with an expression that screamed ‘I’m going to settle scores with you’ and said, “Mr. Guan! No matter what trick you pulled to deal with Director Zhang. I have to warn you, you’ve crossed the line! Anyone who stands in the way of my promotion and fortune won’t end well!” Liu Hun coldly glanced at Section Chief Chai with the disdain one would have for moldy steamed buns, then loudly called out to the people around, “Folks of Tianping Town! You all have seen what happened today! There isn’t a blind or foolish person among you! Speak justice for me, tell me whether Liu Hun is wrong or right?!” “Right!” The villagers around answered Liu Hun in unison and loudly, their shout releasing the suppressed feelings by corrupt officials over commoners as if jumping into an ice cellar in the dog days of summer—refreshing! “Mr. Guan! What do you think you’re doing?!” Section Chief Chai asked through gritted teeth with a suppressed voice. Still ignoring Section Chief Chai, Liu Hun loudly called out to the people around once more, “Section Chief Chai just said himself that the justice of the law must be upheld under broad daylight, and that all evil should be exposed to the sunlight! Therefore, I demand an apology from the people who slandered me and accused me of attacking them just now: Director Zhang! Deputy Director Zhang! The tailor! And...” He pointed at several people one by one, and then, with a pause for each word, stopped his finger on Section Chief Chai and said, “You! Apologize!” “What did you say?! I apologize to you?! Why should I apologize to you?!” Hatred nearly bursting from his eyes, Section Chief Chai said in a low voice to Liu Hun, “Mr. Guan, you better realize what you’re doing!” “Did everyone just hear, Section Chief Chai calling me a suspect for assaulting an officer?!” Liu Hun continued shouting to the surrounding people, still not caring for Section Chief Chai’s reaction, determined to rally the power of the people. “Yes!” The onlooking crowd shouted out again in unison, as coordinated as if it were rehearsed. They loved to be part of any excitement, especially the kind that forces officials to bow their heads. In two words—truly thrilling! “So, Section Chief Chai! Apologize!” Liu Hun said, staring at Section Chief Chai. It wasn’t that he deliberately sought discomfort by picking on this Section Chief Chai. A grassroots citizen, although common, also had to distinguish what kind of grass they were! Some were content to be foxtail grass, but Liu Hun just had to be the kind of grass that wouldn’t bend and stood tall. Section Chief Chai was panting heavily, trying to speak but his mouth seemed zipped shut, unable to open it at all, feeling as if not a single piece of meat in his body belonged to him. Suddenly! His upper body began to bend towards Liu Hun, little by little. “He’s... really bowing in apology! Have we really seen justice prevail over our heads? Am I seeing things, or what? Wasn’t that corrupt official just issuing threats?!” “Good thing! Liu Hun definitely deserves an apology! Without thoroughly investigating the matter, they just accused him of being a criminal! That’s framing someone! He must apologize!” “Heh! I’d only heard of Liu Hun before, but seeing him in person today, I am impressed! Truly impressed! The ability to make an official bow and apologize to an ordinary citizen like himself! If there’s such excitement next time, you guys have to call me along, once is not enough for me!” “...” Director Chai had absolutely no idea what kind of spell he was under or what had gotten into him when he actually bowed to Liu Hun at a ninety-degree angle. In his heart, he was fuming with the thought that he must make the person surnamed Guan pay back this grudge a hundredfold, a thousandfold! All he needed was an excuse to make his life a living hell! “Mingjie, although I don’t know what the heck is going on! But I do know... it feels great! Liu Hun has real skills! By the way, how big is that director position? The bigger they are, the more satisfying it is!” Chen Qiuya said excitedly while pulling Zhao Mingjie by the hand. She had no idea about the nuances of the situation and thought it was as thrilling as a mouse riding a tiger, a true spectacle! “The position isn’t that big, but he’s got quite the influence. Liu Hun might have stirred up even bigger trouble,” Zhao Mingjie said to Chen Qiuya, feeling quite relieved herself, even though she didn’t quite understand why Liu Hun could have made Director Chai submit. But she knew that even if Director Chai had submitted today, he would still seek trouble with Liu Hun later on. “Now that Director Chai has already bowed and apologized, let’s consider this matter settled!” Liu Hun said with a smile and then walked over to Supervisor Zhang and his colleagues to remark, “Director Chai will definitely take this out on you, so brace yourselves!” “I can’t thank everyone enough for speaking up and helping me today! Liu Hun is truly grateful!” Liu Hun thanked the crowd around him and was immediately swarmed by people as if he were a deity. At this moment, Director Chai had finally regained his composure, and as soon as he was able to move, he pointed to where Liu Hun, now obscured by a sea of people, had been and said to the surrounding police officers, “Arrest him!” “Director Chai! You can’t do this! He hasn’t committed any crime, why should we arrest him? Besides... the people are all around him now. If this turns into a mass incident, how are we supposed to explain it to the chief? We also need to rush back to deal with Supervisor Zhang’s false reporting. If we’re too late and the chief issues a directive, it’s us who are in big trouble if he loses face!” Someone by Director Chai’s side quickly stepped forward and said, thinking to himself that Director Chai was really being overdramatic. Just a moment ago he had been bowing and apologizing, and now he was shouting to arrest someone. “Fine! We’ll remember this, Guan! Let’s hurry back to the county seat! Take Supervisor Zhang and his lackeys to apologize to the chief!” After saying this, Director Chai immediately got into the car. After all the commotion, while Chen Qiuya was left excited, Zhao Mingjie grew anxious. Liu Hun had humiliated Supervisor Zhang and his colleagues and made Director Chai submit with an apology, really making a scene and hitting them where it hurt. However, Director Chai was not someone to be taken lightly. In the days that followed, Zhao Mingjie was on edge as if a motor was running inside her, and the news brought to her by a classmate from the county police station made her so frantic that she dragged Liu Hun to the local station. “What? You still want to bring down Xie Heguo?” Zhao Mingjie really felt like Liu Hun was like a long pole, wanting to poke at everything he saw. “It’s complicated, and I can’t explain it all at once, but if I’ve started it, I’ll definitely get it done,” Liu Hun simply said to Zhao Mingjie. Bringing down Xie Heguo depended on the large-scale outbreak of epidemic in the village ahead. Without that happening, no matter what he said, Zhao Mingjie wouldn’t believe him. “Let’s drop it! For now, forget about this mess. I called you here today to tell you. Director Chai has tripped you up, reporting you to the chief for misconduct. In a few days, they might take you to the county police station for questioning,” Zhao Mingjie said to Liu Hun, her brows almost twisted together. “Questioned for what? I haven’t done anything wrong. Why would they question me?” Liu Hun asked Zhao Mingjie, not understanding the intricacies. Zhao Mingjie took a deep breath and then spoke to Liu Hun, “Director Chai has many ways to screw you over. You haven’t done anything wrong, but they can still arrest you on the pretext of assisting in the investigation of Supervisor Zhang. They can’t sentence you, but keeping you for a few days as part of the investigation is still possible. Once they release you, they can just use the same reason to arrest you again. How much time and energy do you have to waste with them like this?” After Zhao Mingjie put it like that, Liu Hun really felt that the skies, usually clear and bright, were suddenly clouded over. Before Liu Hun could respond, Zhao Mingjie continued, “My master is the retired principal of the municipal police academy. A classmate from the county police station passed me a message that my master’s wife has recently been admitted to the municipal hospital. I want to use this opportunity for us to visit her together and then talk to her about this issue. What do you think?” “Sure!” Liu Hun agreed without hesitation. If Zhao Mingjie’s master’s wife had been staying at home or in a nursing home, Liu Hun might not have been that interested. But since she was in the hospital, he was definitely willing to show his sympathies! Liu Hun entrusted Du Yueling and Qin Yue with some village affairs, and then asked Chen Qiuya to monitor the situation of the patients from the village ahead. Soon after, he rushed off to Yuhua City with Zhao Mingjie. They rushed to the Yuhua City People’s Hospital without hesitation. Zhao Mingjie had called in advance, so it was easy for them to find the specific location. Yuhua City People’s Hospital truly opened Liu Hun’s eyes, especially the special ward area where Zhao Mingjie’s master’s wife, Chen Lan, was staying, which genuinely reflected the superiority of the socialist system.
