Chapter 52 What do you think you are!

Chapter 52: Chapter 52 What do you think you are! ... Brother Cheng was pounded into a pulp by Ye Shanshan’s punches and kicks, lying on the ground, unable to even speak. Yet Ye Shanshan didn’t seem satisfied—she set her sights on Captain Liu, and without a word, unleashed a powerful Mandarin Duck Linked Legs on him... Captain Liu had downed half a jin of baijiu at dinner, and later at the karaoke bar had chugged several bottles of beer. Already stumbling drunkenly, he simply couldn’t stand straight. After taking two heavy kicks from Ye Shanshan, he immediately went sprawling on his back. "Not bad, didn’t disgrace us." Yan Xiaobao watched, feeling a tiny bit of satisfaction. Well, tonight’s karaoke outing has turned into another martial arts demonstration... Xia Rou sighed to herself. Ever since meeting Yan Xiaobao, martial arts displays seemed to have become a regular occurrence... Nearby, Biaozi was both startled and delighted. Startled by how fierce this girl was. She first beat up Brother Cheng, the local tyrant with dozens of lackeys under his command, and then tackled Liu Jian, the Deputy Captain of the Inspection Team, right to the ground... Delighted because, with her move, she redirected all the hostility from both Brother Cheng and Captain Liu onto herself. When Captain Liu’s team arrived later and started looking to settle scores, it certainly wouldn’t be him they’d go after. Just as Ye Shanshan finished dealing with Captain Liu, a group of uniformed Inspection Team officers burst into the room. Before they could make sense of the situation, Ye Shanshan, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the bruised and battered Liu Jian lying on the floor, barked, "Why are you all so slow? Your captain just got beaten by me—hurry up and carry him off to the hospital." The officers from the Inspection Team: "..." What kind of girl was this? She beats up Captain Liu and then acts like it’s no big deal? Could she have some kind of backing? The Inspection Team and the Patrol Officers differed by just one character in their titles, but their statuses were worlds apart. Patrol Officers were official state law enforcement personnel with standardized positions, while those in the Inspection Team were locally recruited public safety aides—essentially contract workers or even temporary staff (similar to auxiliary police). As a result, when the Inspection Team carried out their duties, they always kept their eyes wide open. Nobodies, like street punks, were fair game for them to bully. But anyone with connections, they wouldn’t dare provoke. Thus, seeing Ye Shanshan—a savage-looking girl—hitting Captain Liu yet boldly ignoring the consequences left the Inspection Team uneasy. Could she be a young heiress from some powerful family? "Biaozi, what’s going on?" one of the leading Inspection Team members asked. Biaozi was still scheming about how he should answer when Ye Shanshan brazenly took the lead to explain, "Those two filthy perverts tried to harass me, so I knocked them both out. Simple as that." "Uh..." The leading inspector froze, then cautiously asked, "Who are you, exactly?" "Who cares who she is! Arrest her already—why all the chatter!" Liu Jian, still sprawled on the floor, spotted his reinforcements. With wobbly determination, he began to pull himself up while throwing his weight around. "Yes, sir!" The deputy gave the command, and the Inspection Team immediately stepped forward to apprehend Ye Shanshan. "Don’t you dare lay a finger on me!" A sharp, commanding voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. A striking female Patrol Officer dressed in uniform strode into the scene, her expression icy. "I’m Han Ruobing, arrest officer of the Third Team at Baofeng District Patrol Office. I’ll be taking this girl with me—any problems, come find me at the Patrol Office!" *Hiss—* The notorious Cold Ice Goddess Constable Han Ruobing was a name often whispered in fear by Inspection Team members. Seeing her now, they froze, none daring to act recklessly. "Only left you alone for a bit, and you’ve caused trouble!" Han Ruobing scolded Ye Shanshan, then turned to leave. "Follow me back!" "Stop right there!" Liu Jian shouted at Han Ruobing’s retreating figure. The leading inspector quickly grabbed Liu Jian’s arm and whispered nervously, "Liu, don’t act impulsively—you know we can’t afford to cross paths with Han Ruobing..." "Others may fear her... Han Ru... Han Ruobing, but... but I don’t... uh..." Liu Jian, intoxicated, hiccupped mid-sentence. Pointing unsteadily at Han Ruobing, he slurred, "Han Ruobing—you... you’re overstepping! Criminal cases are... your Patrol’s jurisdiction, but public order... that’s mine!" "Oh?" Han Ruobing turned back with a frosty sneer, "Captain Liu has a problem with the way I handle things?" "N-no... no problem..." Liu Jian suddenly grinned stupidly at her. "You can take her away, but... but you have to share a drink with me first!" As soon as those words left Liu Jian’s mouth, the leading inspector beside him turned pale with terror. Han Ruobing was widely known for her icy demeanor and strict professionalism. She was ruthless and impartial, never showing leniency to any man. Anyone foolish enough to flirt with her invariably ended up hospitalized as a consequence. Besides, Han Ruobing outranked Liu Jian by half a level and was highly regarded by her superiors. Within the Binhai Patrol Office, she was considered a critical mid-level powerhouse. On a normal day, Liu Jian would grovel before Han Ruobing, eager to please her. But today, emboldened by liquid courage, this drunkard had the audacity to provoke her—his fate was already sealed... "You’re sure you want me to drink with you?" Han Ruobing’s voice dropped to sub-zero temperatures. The leading inspector noticed the faint yet merciless smirk curling her lips and instinctively shivered. "Of... of course!" Oblivious to his impending doom, Liu Jian grabbed two glasses of alcohol from a passing tray and lurched toward Han Ruobing. No sooner had he taken two shaky steps than Liu Jian, along with the glasses, went flying sideways, smashing into the wall with a loud thud. Yan Xiaobao exploded in fury, pointing at Liu Jian, who was now curled up at the wall and entirely unconscious. He roared, "You filthy toad, you bald-headed creep—what do you think you are? You dare force my Rourou wife, Reserve Concubine, and Bingbing wife to drink with you? I could kill you three times over for this!" "..." Han Ruobing, who’d been about to show Liu Jian a thing or two, froze with sheer disbelief. Onlookers, equally dumbfounded, exchanged puzzled glances. Who on earth was this guy? Rourou wife, Reserve Concubine, Bingbing wife... What is this nonsense? "Shut up!" Han Ruobing grabbed Ye Shanshan by the arm and began dragging her away. "We’re leaving!" "Bingbing wife, don’t go!" Yan Xiaobao immediately chased after her. "Let’s go grab drinks together." Han Ruobing ignored him completely, marching straight out of Jinsha Night Club. The Inspection Team members exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what to do next. Ordinarily, they should apprehend the guy who had just sent Captain Liu flying with a kick. But that guy called Han Ruobing "Bingbing wife," and she hadn’t dealt with him—which clearly suggested that their relationship was intimate. Who would dare to arrest him? "Pack up! Quick, get Captain Liu to the hospital!" The leading inspector, sensing that the situation was way beyond their jurisdiction, decisively organized his team to lift the unconscious Captain Liu and leave in a hurry. ...
