Chapter 367: It's actually Bureau Chief Zhou

Ye Cheng smirked, pointing at Liu Zhengjun under his feet.

I'm fine; you just came late, and he got into trouble.

Duan Chunsheng went up and kicked Liu Zhengjun in the waist.

Fuck! You really have no shame, bullying women and kids, right? If you've got guts, let our two villages face off.

Liu Zhengjun endured the pain, glaring ferociously at Ye Cheng.

He reported my son; settling the score with him is justified.

Damn it! Duan Chunsheng swore.

Someone's here; Ye Cheng no longer needed to humiliate Liu Zhengjun like this.

He grabbed Liu Zhengjun and hauled him up, shoving him back toward Liu Village.

The police will handle your son's case; he definitely deserves it. If you keep causing trouble, you'll get arrested too.

Liu Zhengjun looked unconvinced, but now the other village has more people; fighting further would surely hurt both sides.

But not avenging his son's grudge left him unsatisfied.

Just as he was torn between advancing and retreating, a siren wailed and three police cars drove in.

When the police arrived, the crowd quickly stepped back a few paces and lowered their sticks.

Nobody's stupid; fighting in a brawl is one thing, but fighting in front of the police is suicide.

The car door opened, and Liu Jin ran out.

But he didn't run over right away; instead, he pattered back a few steps and waited beside a vehicle.

This was the posture for welcoming a leader.

Sure enough, a person in a white shirt stepped out of the rear car, glanced around, and instantly stunned the whole scene.

Bureau Chief Zhou?

Why did Bureau Chief Zhou suddenly come?

The person was none other than the Bureau Chief of the Municipal Bureau, Zhou Zu Hai.

Ye Cheng had seen him yesterday when they went out to sea.

Zhou Zu Hai strode forward with big steps, stood in the middle, and instantly both sides fell silent.

He didn't speak, just glanced left and right, his brows furrowed.

This was clearly a mass brawl scene, with many people injured.

"Fighting is illegal, you know that?" Zhou Zu Hai said sternly.

Nobody dared to respond, except Ye Cheng stepped forward.

"Bureau Chief Zhou, we're the victims; Liu Village charged straight at us—this is legitimate self-defense."

Hearing this, Liu Zhengjun panicked; they were trying to pin a hat on his village.

"No, Bureau Chief Zhou." He actually didn't know Zhou Zu Hai's surname; he just followed Ye Cheng in calling him that.

"Bureau Chief Zhou, we have a reason." Liu Zhengjun thought for a while but could only speak vaguely; it wouldn't do to say he came for revenge because his son was arrested.

He didn't spell it out, but Ye Cheng wouldn't let him off; he laid it out directly,

"Bureau Chief Zhou, let me introduce: Liu Zhengjun, Da Liu—oh, that is Liu Xiao Wei's father, the head of Liu Village."

Hearing that he was Da Liu's father, Zhou Zu Hai basically understood.

"He's upset because I sent Liu Xiao Wei away, so he brought all these people to cause trouble. Bureau Chief Zhou, look—they even beat women." Ye Cheng deliberately pulled Zhang Guafu over to show Zhou Zu Hai.

Liu Benjun's face darkened; "Damn, you've thrown plenty of punches yourself."

"No, Bureau Chief Zhou, Ye Cheng hit my arm with a stick—it's almost broken."

Zhou Zu Hai's face turned livid; he glanced both sides and then barked,

"Enough!"

After the leader spoke, both sides fell silent.

Zhou Zu Hai gestured to his secretary; a young police officer stepped forward, holding a document and a red-covered book.

Zhou Zu Hai took the document, then turned to face Ye Cheng, looking righteous.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng quickly threw away his stick—"Damn, holding a stick now is totally inappropriate."

Everyone was stunned—what was going to happen?

Were they going to read the document on site?

Were they going to arrest Ye Cheng?

Before anyone could finish guessing, Zhou Zu Hai's deep voice boomed,

"In view of Ye Cheng and Wang Xiaohu's outstanding performance in the Huerji case, the Donghai Shi Public Security Bureau has decided to award Ye Cheng and Wang Xiaohu the title of Outstanding Citizen for Acting Righteously."

As soon as he finished, the whole crowd was stunned.

Holy crap!

An honor from the Municipal Bureau.

Although it's not a first- or third-class merit, coming from the Municipal Bureau it's still no small thing.

This case is definitely not just sneaky fishing; it's surely a major case.

Da Liu kid's offense is no small matter.

"Ye Cheng, this is what you deserve." Zhou Zu Hai looked at Ye Cheng with a kind expression.

With so many watching, everyone felt a bit embarrassed.

Ye Cheng pulled Xiao Hu forward, took the honor certificate with both hands, then raised it high together with Xiao Hu.

Instantly!

From the Baiyun Village side rose the most enthusiastic cheers.

I am, after all, from our village.

From now on, when we go out and brag, we can say it—our village folks have all been commended by the municipal bureau.

Xiao Hu's parents, upon hearing that their son had also been commended, were so happy they couldn't stop smiling.

My son has turned out well.

From now on, finding a wife will be easy; who would dare say my Xiao Hu is a village bum? Our Xiao Hu also has been commended by the municipal bureau.

On the contrary, over in Liu Village, everyone is downcast, and their gazes toward Liu Benjun are full of complaints.

Damn, your son has caused a big trouble—even the bureau chief of the municipal bureau has been dispatched.

You still try to fool us, claiming we were bullied by Ye Cheng; fortunately nothing happened, but if something had happened, we'd all be doomed.

After Zhou Zu Hai handed Ye Cheng the award certificate, he turned and stared at Liu Zhengjun with a stern face.

"You are Liu Xiaowei's father, right?"

Liu Zhengjun nervously glanced at him and nodded.

"Look at your conduct—you're still a village chief?" Zhou Zu Hai suddenly raised his voice and sternly rebuked.

He is the bureau chief of the municipal bureau; although he cannot directly manage the village, he is still a senior official.

Now it's still about the case; there's nothing wrong with him scolding a village chief.

"Tell you, Liu Xiaowei's situation today has a lot to do with you." Zhou Zu Hai pointed at Liu Zhengjun and gave him a stern scolding.

After scolding Liu Zhengjun, Zhou Zu Hai looked at the crowd and spoke loudly, "Also, this case has basically been cleared up; I'll give everyone a brief explanation."

"Last night, Liu Xiaowei together with Liu Hai took a fishing boat, brought three little devils, and stole our country's first-class protected animal—the clam."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They actually colluded with the little devils.

This isn't the same as what Ye Cheng just said, right?

The people of Liu Village now hate Liu Benjun to death.

Damn, your son actually colluded with the little devils—this isn't losing face for the ancestors?

Now everyone knows; soon the whole Shilin Township will know.

From now on, Liu Village won't be able to hold its head up in public.

This is going to get them stabbed in the spine.

Zhou Zu Hai continued speaking,

"Baiyun Village residents Ye Cheng and Wang Xiaohu went out to fish, discovered this situation, and to stop the crime, they drove their boat straight into Liu Xiaowei's fishing boat, rammed it over, and successfully captured Liu Xiaowei and the other four."
