"Who caused trouble at my cousin’s pharmacy?"
"Today, they must be severely punished."
A man rushed in first.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Xiaoshan, and Zhang Xiaoshan saw him too.
Both were momentarily stunned.
Both spoke at the same time.
Enemies meet with even redder eyes.
The newcomer was none other than Zheng Jianhai, the Health Education Bureau Personnel Division’s Mr. Zheng, who Zhang Xiaoshan had dealt with not long before.
"Big Sea, brother got beaten up this time, you must help me take revenge today."
At this moment, Zheng Jianjiang also spoke.
Zhang Xiaoshan was startled and then sneered.
"So you are the quack’s cousin, his protector, huh? Birds of a feather flock together indeed."
"Big Sea, you know this guy?"
At that moment, Zheng Jianhai was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Just ten minutes before, his boss, Director Liu, had scolded him terribly over some examination hall issues, and Jiang Man had even declared she would conduct a thorough investigation into him. He had been holding in a stomach full of anger and thought, after receiving Zheng Jianjiang’s message, that he had found an opportunity to vent his frustration.
Who could have anticipated running into the calamity that is Zhang Xiaoshan?
He found himself in a tricky situation for a moment.
"Mr. Zheng, aren’t you supposed to stand up for your unscrupulous cousin? I would love to hear how you plan to deal with me?"
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t take Zheng Jianhai seriously at all.
"Mr. Zheng, who is this kid? So arrogant?"
At that moment, a security officer in his thirties spoke up.
This man, named Zhang Bing, was a security team leader, who regularly had close dealings with Zheng Jianhai...
This clinic of Zheng Jianjiang’s had been reported several times and it was this man who had helped suppress those reports.
Looking at Zhang Bing, and then at the bloodied Zheng Jianjiang, Zheng Jianhai suddenly had an idea.
He walked over to Zhang Xiaoshan, lowered his voice to a whisper audible only to the two of them, and said.
"Look at the miserable state you’ve put my cousin in; charging you with grievous bodily harm wouldn’t be too much. If I pull some strings, I could get you at least three years behind bars. Don’t think just because Vice Chairman Jiang is your cousin you can act lawlessly; everyone must obey the law, right?"
"However, I am still quite reasonable. We are all somewhat familiar here, so how about this: I could let my cousin not pursue your responsibility, but you’ll have to give me something in return."
Zhang Xiaoshan, disgusted by Zheng Jianhai’s demeanor, still followed along with what he said and asked.
"What do you want in return?"
"Heh, simple. You help plead my case to Vice Chairman Jiang, tell her not to investigate my affairs. We can still be friends after all, ha ha ha..."
Zheng Jianhai tried to put his arm around Zhang Xiaoshan’s shoulders but was met with a glob of spit on his face from Zhang Xiaoshan.
"You, what the hell are you doing?"
Zheng Jianhai instantly became furiously enraged.
Zhang Bing and a few others immediately surrounded Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Kid, you think you’re tough? Take him back."
"Everyone stay back!"
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately picked up a chair nearby, scaring Zhang Bing and the others into retreating.
"Kid, you realize you’re resisting our investigation?"
Zhang Bing threatened Zhang Xiaoshan with a fierce face. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
Zhang Xiaoshan had already realized that Zhang Bing and Zheng Jianhai were in cahoots and surely biased, so he had no good face for Zhang Bing and directly retorted.
"Is this how you conduct an investigation? I did hit someone, but didn’t you even ask why I did it?"
"You think Zheng Jianjiang treats you like a friend, huh? You didn’t even ask me who I am? He’s pushing you into the fire pit."
"Even if you were the emperor’s father, I would still handle your case today, and you won’t be getting out for three years."
Xu Xiaomeng was so scared that she started crying.
"Brother Zhang, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me."
"Don’t worry, they can’t do anything to me. Someone will come to help us soon."
Zhang Xiaoshan was calm and unafraid."
"Kid, you sure are tough-mouthed. I hope you remain this tough when you’re on the tiger bench."
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t regard Zhang Bing highly, which made the usually arrogant and domineering Zhang Bing very angry.
Zheng Jianhai gave Zheng Jianjiang a look, and Zheng Jianhai caught on immediately.
He stirred up trouble by crying out emotionally.
"Captain Zhang, I was just minding my business when I got beaten up by this kid. You have to stand up for me. He’s lawless, this kid is utterly lawless. Take him away quickly."
Xu Xiaomeng stepped up to defend Zhang Xiaoshan and said.
"You, you’re spouting nonsense. It was clearly you who bullied me forcefully. Brother Zhang only intervened to protect me. If not for Brother Zhang arriving in time, I would have been done for by you."
"Is that so?" Zhang Bing looked at Zheng Jianjiang.
He knew Zheng Jianjiang’s character well, and that he was definitely capable of such deeds. He was in charge of the security of this area, and there had been numerous reports before...
His words meant to prompt Zheng Jianjiang to come up with a reasonable explanation, as there were other security officers present besides him.
Zheng Jianjiang, an old slick, immediately countered.
"My goodness, I’m innocent, I tell you! It was this little hussy. Her father got sick, and she couldn’t afford the medical bills, so she insisted on settling the debt with her body. I really couldn’t stop her. Oh, I get it now, this was a premeditated trap, a swindle, Captain Zhang, I’m wronged here."
As he spoke, Zheng Jianjiang even began to cry.
"You, you’re talking nonsense. I, I didn’t!" Xu Xiaomeng, driven to anger, had her face flushed red.
