Insufficient balance

  "Xiao Bing, you're back so soon? I heard from above that the culprit caught this time is quite big shot. Could it be that scourge mentioned in the provincial wanted list?"

  As soon as I entered the police station, a middle-aged policeman holding a teacup smiled and greeted me warmly. The policemen who passed by along the way also showed a kind smile to Bai Bing.

  It seems that Bai Bing is quite popular among the police officers in Jiangling City Police Bureau, perhaps because of her pleasant personality and behavior. This is certainly a factor not to be overlooked, but it's likely that the main reason is her stunning looks and fiery figure. Although most of the police officers coming in and out of the bureau are already married with children, the charm of a beautiful woman is something that no man with a healthy body and mind can resist, regardless of age or whether they have a wife and kids at home.

  "Uncle Zhang, it's just a suspicion for now. Can you help take them over there first? I'll go report to the captain and come back later."

  Bai Bing's face was filled with a warm smile as he nodded at Ye Jun and the others, before hastily heading up to the second floor. As for Dong Biao, the ringleader who had been handcuffed, he simply shook his head. When he heard that the God of Wealth would arrange for someone to take care of him in prison, even a fool like him understood what was going on. Therefore, Dong Biao was consumed by fear and completely lost his usual arrogant demeanor.

  "Come with me!"

  The middle-aged policeman first took a sip of tea, then walked into a room with an icy expression. After Ye Jun and others entered, they found that there were three policemen of different ages inside.

  "Uncle Zhang, who are these people?"

  One of the young policemen put down the file and pen in his hand, first glanced at Ye Jun and others, then expressed his doubts. As for the other two policemen, they looked curiously at the middle-aged policeman who was called Zhang Shu.

  The middle-aged policeman cleared his throat and smiled: "Xiao Bing led the person back, it seems to be related to the provincial wanted list, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, Xiao Bing said that he would first go report the situation to Captain Chen, and after finishing, he would come over to pick up the person."

  The young policeman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "How can this matter let Officer Bai worry? Interrogating prisoners is my specialty, let me try."

  The other three police officers all had a funny look on their faces, apparently aware that the young policeman had a crush on Bai Bing. With this kind of self-recommendation, it was clear that he wanted to create a good impression in front of Bai Bing. Ye Jun noticed that on the young policeman's chest, his work badge read "Lu Chong".

  Lu Chong first opened the drawer, took out a baton, then walked to Ye Jun and others with a cold face, and finally fixed his eyes on Dong Biao, who was nodding his head and full of horror: "Speak! What is your relationship with the serial killer wanted by the provincial authorities?"

  Dong Biao hastily lifted his head, suddenly saw that it was Lu Chong interrogating him, and immediately became stunned. Even the questioning Lu Chong was equally taken aback.

  "Little Biao! Is it you? How did you get mixed up with a wanted criminal?"

  Lu Zhong angrily said, this remark made Ye Jun secretly frown, he had already felt something was strange earlier, it turned out that these two people knew each other.

  Dong Biao took one look and saw a familiar face, and immediately burst into tears: "Ah Chong, you have to save me, I'm innocent. These past few days I've been busy taking care of Ah Mong in the hospital, you know that too, how could I have had the time to get involved with a murderer? You police are all crazy, as soon as we met you didn't even ask a few questions and already pinned such a huge crime on me, do you think I'm innocent or not?"

  "Shut up! Bastard, who are you calling a bitch?"

  There were originally few women in the police station, and they basically did some clerical work. Only Bai Bing was able to participate in arrests, and even in a large police station like this one. So, without guessing, it's clear who Dong Biao scolded - Bai Bing is the goddess-like figure that Lu Chong has secretly admired for a long time. How could he tolerate Dong Biao's insolence? He coldly snorted: "Wait till later, I'll settle accounts with you, get out of here!"

  After finishing, Lu Chong turned his head and smiled at the three police officers who were watching from behind: "This is my neighbor, should be no problem, after all, I pass by their house every day. Although they are idle every day, they don't dare to commit murder."

  Three policemen smiled and nodded, since Lu Chong had already said it was a neighbor's business, they wouldn't tear it down. They were all colleagues who would help each other out when possible, maybe even get some benefits later on. Anyway, this kind of thing happens all the time, and they couldn't wait for such good fortune to come knocking, relying on their meager monthly salary, waiting anxiously for the whole family to go out and beg on the streets.

  To put it bluntly, these days people who are not clever and capable are all complete fools, and what's more, they're also unlikable.

  "If it wasn't them, then it must be you!"

  Dong Biao pulled along with the scoundrels who had entered the brothel together, hiding in a corner. Lu Chong's face suddenly turned unpleasant as he stared at Ye Jun and Liang Hao. However, seeing Dong Biao's terrified expression, he impatiently said: "Little Biao, are these two also with you?"

  "Not, but they..."

  Dong Biao was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lu Chong: "That's good! Behave yourself, and if you dare to disturb me again when I'm interrogating prisoners, you won't be able to go home for dinner tonight!"

  Dong Biao immediately became honest as soon as he could leave the police station alive. He thought that once he left this place, he would pack his bags and leave immediately, and never provoke the god of wealth again. As for Ye Jun, he didn't dare to provoke him at all, especially since he was accompanied by Liang Hao, who dared to fight and kill. Dong Biao thought that unless he was tired of living, he wouldn't go and provoke Ye Jun, a formidable person.

  "Speak! What's your relationship with the wanted criminal?" Lu Chong brandished the police baton in his hand, sneering.

  "We are white police officers asking you to come in for a statement, not as a suspect."

  Having seen this kind of irrational fool in his past life, Ye Jun didn't bother to waste words with Lu Chong. He simply looked at the three police officers sitting calmly on the chairs and smiled: "Officers, since we were at the scene of the crime, Officer Bai wants us to come to the police station to help record a statement. If there's nothing else, let's go wait for Officer Bai at the entrance."

  After finishing, Ye Jun was about to pull away the ill-tempered Liang Hao from this office, but after a few steps, a cold hum came from behind: "Stop! Who let you leave? Do you think this is your own home or a charity organization? Be honest with me, put your hands on the wall, I suspect that you are carrying attack weapons!"

  "Ah Chong... don't..."

  Dong Biao, who had just let out a sigh of relief, was shocked to hear that Lu Chong would not give up. He was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body. His original intention was to wait until Ye Jun left and then say some good words, stuff some red envelopes, and take the opportunity to slip away. But as soon as he heard Dong Biao's meaning, it seemed like he wanted to get involved with Ye Jun, so he became anxious.

  "Shut up! Goddamn it, believe me or not, I'll lock you in an iron cage right now?"

  Lu Chong glared at Dong Biao, then coldly sneered at Ye Jun's back: "Hmph! Don't look for trouble if you don't want to be unhappy. To tell the truth, whether or not you're guilty, whether or not you came to make a statement, I won't let you leave this door, so don't think about going anywhere else! If I get angry, I'll say you're guilty and you will be guilty! Hurry up and go against the wall, otherwise..."

  "What if not?"

  Ye Jun didn't speak, still maintaining his forward walking motion. Instead, Liang Hao turned around and said coldly: "I don't have a good impression of you police officers. If it weren't for Officer Bai's invitation, I wouldn't set foot in this place even if you killed me. Let me warn you, don't talk nonsense just because you think you're powerful. By the way, you'd better listen to your friend and let him finish speaking. Otherwise, even if you die in this office, it will only be considered a heroic sacrifice."

  "Great, great, great! Crazy enough! Uncle Zhang, Old Man Huang, Ah Zheng, did you all hear that? Look what I said, saying I would die here, or die in the line of duty?"

  Lu Chong suddenly burst out laughing, and the three policemen sitting in the chairs also laughed loudly. However, Zhang Shu, a middle-aged policeman who was more cautious, smiled and said: "Ah Chong, forget it, wait for Officer Bai to come back, and everything will be clear. There's no need to argue with these two crazy guys. If they are found to have connections with the wanted criminals later, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them."

  "A-Chong, listen to Uncle Zhang." The middle-aged policeman who called A-Zheng also echoed.

  Lu Chong, who had slightly calmed down, saw the arrogant attitude of Liang Hao and his anger flared up again. He waved his hand and said: "There's no need to verify anymore, can't you see how arrogant this guy is? I've seen many thugs being caught, but it's the first time I've met someone as arrogant as him. If we don't teach him a lesson, people outside will think that our police station is a convenience store that can be bullied."

  "A-Chong makes sense, we can't let those criminals look down on us. If this sets off a chain reaction, then in the future when we catch more culprits and bring them to the police station, won't they all learn from each other's example? How will we be able to interrogate them then?"

  The oldest, Huang Bo, stood up and saw that Ah Zheng and Zhang Shu were quite in agreement. He smiled and said: "Young people, don't be so impulsive when speaking. Since you've come to the police station, you have to follow the rules. We'll ask our questions and naturally won't make things difficult for you. Trust our ability to handle cases and our impartiality, how about it?"

  "Spare me the hypocrisy! I was framed by you cops and had to spend a month in jail for nothing." Liang Hao sneered.

  "Look, there are many ways to interrogate, right? So, you've surrendered. I see, you've been in prison before, just got out, and think that having been in a cell and seen the world, you can look down on us office-bound police. Sigh... from now on, don't have to be so hard, when encountering this kind of arrogant and ignorant person, it's better to speak kindly and lower your posture, they will naturally surrender."

  "Haha, I didn't expect Old Huang to know how to use this clever tactic of 'making a feint to the east while attacking in the west'."

  Huang Bo smiled and patted his own back, Ah Zheng immediately gave him a flattering slap. Huang Bo, who was pleased with himself, patted the table and pointed at Liang Hao and Ye Jun, who were standing outside the door, saying in a cold voice: "Since you've been to prison, you're definitely not good stuff, handcuff them first!"

  Lu Chong hastily took out the handcuffs from his waist, and Ah Zheng, worried that Lu Chong would not be able to cope, also took out a police baton from the drawer at the same time and stood beside Lu Chong.

  "Do you really want to play?"

  Liang Hao let out a cold laugh, seeing Lu Chong and A Zheng had already taken out their handcuffs, with an attitude of arresting someone. Suddenly, it reminded him of the scene when he was wrongly accused and caught that day. The two scenes were surprisingly consistent, except for the different location.

  At that time, Liang Hao did not dare to resist, and because Liang Tao had been a police officer before, he believed that the police would eventually handle the matter fairly. However, after entering, he realized how dirty the inside story was. In his days in prison, Liang Hao no longer trusted the police profession and regretted not resisting at the time. Moreover, with Ye Jun by his side now, Liang Hao would not be captured easily, let alone that he and Ye Jun were innocent; even if they were guilty, Liang Hao would not allow these two policemen to touch a single hair on Ye Jun's head.

  Seeing Liang Hao suddenly turn his head to look at himself, as if seeking his opinion, Ye Jun's face was icy cold, saying: "Just do it, just like you said, even if this person is dead, he died on duty."

  "Looking for death!"

  Lu Chong heard the words and was furious, at this moment he exchanged a glance with A Zheng, both saw the anger hidden in each other's eyes, suddenly one on the left and one on the right swung the police batons in their hands towards Liang Hao.

  Whoosh... Whoosh...

  Just as the two police batons were about to heavily smash onto Liang Hua's head, suddenly, everyone in the room was like seeing a ghost, because Liang Hua had disappeared out of thin air!

  No!

  Huang Bo saw a lot and was wide, also the most calm in the house, under the glance of the floor, suddenly saw Liang Hao lying horizontally, with a gloomy smile on his face.

  "Hehe!"

  Just as he was about to speak up, Liang Hao suddenly flashed out, and after two police batons swung empty, his hands clenched into fists, each hitting Lu Chong and A Zheng's belly.

  Bang!

  Accompanied by two miserable cries, Ah Zheng was a bit better off. The direction of his fall happened to be where Dong Biao and the others were standing, so they managed to catch him in a flurry. But Lu Chong wasn't so lucky - he smashed heavily into the office desk behind him, cracking his head open and bleeding profusely.

  Huang Bo and Zhang Shu hastily ran to Lu Chong's side, discovering that he had only suffered minor external injuries and was not seriously hurt. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lu Chong suddenly sprang up like a man possessed, his face calm as he pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Liang Hui, who was standing with an equally calm expression. "Come on!" he bellowed. "Let's see whose fist is faster, or whose bullet is quicker!"
