Chapter 1024

At this time, the woman climbed up from the ground, wiped her tears fiercely with her sleeve, walked over, and snatched the fruit knife from the man's hand.

"Forget it, just treat it like being bitten by a dog. Pack up, let's go home."

Originally, this couple wanted to settle the matter, but those men in uniforms didn't like being called dogs.

A younger guy walked over and grabbed the vendor: "Leaving? Come back with us to be processed."

The young man's actions completely enraged the vendor.

"Son of a bitch, I'll kill you."

The vendor wanted to snatch the knife from his wife's hand, but the woman reacted quickly and dodged.

Not getting the knife, the vendor raised his fist and smashed it fiercely into the young man's face.

"Bang!"

The young man let out a miserable scream, and blood flowed down from his nose.

"You motherfucker dare to hit me?" The young man roared and lunged at the vendor.

Although this guy was young, he worked in an office; how could he be the vendor's match?

Seeing the young man suffer, the other uniformed men rushed over in a flurry, surrounding the vendor and starting to punch and kick him.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting."

The woman cried out, trying to pull them away, but how could a weak woman like her manage that?

Finally, the woman threw herself onto her husband, and in an instant, all the punches and kicks landed on her.

"Stop!"

Zhou Andong shouted, walked over, grabbed the big-bellied man, threw him aside, and then went to pull the others away.

It took a great deal of effort to pull these uniformed men away.

Jian Qiu came over with a face as cold as frost and helped the woman up.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

The woman's face was covered in blood, and she was in pain all over; she didn't even know where she was injured.

Jian Qiu took tissues from her bag to wipe the woman's face, and the vendor sitting on the ground suddenly let out an angry roar.

"I'm going to kill you all."

Saying this, he picked up the fruit knife that had fallen on the ground and charged at the big-bellied man.

Looking at the vendor's ferocious face, especially with blood all over it, all the uniformed men were scared silly.

The big-bellied man stood there at a loss, not even knowing how to dodge.

Seeing the vendor's knife raised, Zhou Andong was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing the vendor's shoulder.

"Calm down. If you kill them, won't you have to pay with your life? Think about your wife, think about your family. If something happens to you, what will they do?"

Zhou Andong's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the vendor's ears, making him calm down instantly.

Seeing the vendor slowly lower the raised knife, the uniformed men also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The big-bellied man opened his mouth just about to say something, when Zhou Andong shouted sternly.

"Shut your fucking mouth."

The big-bellied man was startled and closed his mouth reflexively.

"Smashing fruit stalls, beating others, acting like a bunch of thugs, breaking the law while knowing the law."

The young man had finished dealing with his nose and, hearing Zhou Andong's words, roared angrily.

"What do you mean breaking the law while knowing the law? Do you know the law? If you don't, get lost and don't interfere with our law enforcement."

Zhou Andong frowned: "Come, come, tell me, which law allows you to smash private property, and which law allows you to beat others?"

The young man pointed at the vendor and roared: "Stalls are not allowed here. Him setting up a stall here is breaking the law."

Zhou Andong snorted coldly: "Tell me, which law did he break by setting up a stall here?"

The young man said unyieldingly: "According to the 'Regulations on the Management of Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation' promulgated on May 20th last year..."

Before the young man could continue, Zhou Andong waved his hand and interrupted him very impolitely.

"You must understand that those are management regulations, not laws. Him setting up a stall here is a violation, not a crime. You can persuade him to leave, you can warn him, you can fine him, but you have no power to smash his stall.

Talk to me about the law. I tell you, in terms of private rights, as long as the law does not prohibit it, it is a citizen's right. In terms of public power, as long as the law does not authorize it, it is prohibited.

Look at your law enforcement awareness and mindset; how much error and deviation has appeared? You think law enforcement is a power, a form of domination and restriction, right? I tell you, your work is just a service."

"Well said!"

Someone shouted, and then applause broke out.

"He hit me first." The young man's face turned livid, but his tone wasn't as aggressive as before.

At this time, Jian Qiu asked with a cold face: "Which unit are you from?"

Jian Qiu's face was cold, and her aura was even greater than Zhou Andong's. The young man opened his mouth, but couldn't even get a word out.

Jian Qiu looked at the big-bellied man: "You should be their leader, tell me, which unit are you from?"

Facing Jian Qiu, who was radiating her full aura, the big-bellied man understood that this woman's background must be significant.

Looking carefully at Zhou Andong again, why did he feel so familiar? It seemed like he had seen him somewhere, but he just couldn't remember.

What these guys are most afraid of is those who know the law; to them, such people are the most difficult to deal with.

What made them even more afraid was someone who not only knew the law but also loved to meddle in other people's business.

Because in a situation like today, ordinary people would absolutely never meddle in other people's business.

But once someone does meddle, it proves that this person must have some roots.

Just as the big-bellied man was pondering how to fool Jian Qiu and Zhou Andong, a young man beside him suddenly whispered something in his ear.

The big-bellied man's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Andong. After his colleague's reminder, he finally remembered; wasn't the guy in front of him Zhou Andong? He had even seen the news of his speech last night.

The big-bellied man shouted in his heart, "What fucking bad luck, how did I run into Zhou Andong?"

But this guy was smart; he didn't call out Zhou Andong's name, but he didn't hide his unit anymore either.

"We are from the District City Appearance Office. My name is Lu Xiangchun."

Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong: "Call the police, let the police come and handle it."

Call the police? The big-bellied man wished for it. Usually, these guys bullied others by relying on their power and suppressed people with their authority.

But now, facing Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu, the power and influence they relied on had vanished completely.

So they could only seek help from the police; after all, they were all within the same system, and they were very familiar with the police officers at the station, who would definitely speak in their favor.

Zhou Andong walked to a nearby phone booth and called the police. The incident occurred right outside the airport, so the police arrived very quickly.

Zhou Andong briefly explained the situation: "This comrade set up a stall here in violation of regulations; punish him as you should. However, these comrades from the City Appearance Office smashed the stall and beat the stall owner; they must apologize and pay compensation."

The young man said with dissatisfaction: "He resisted law enforcement violently, which is why the conflict was triggered."

Zhou Andong ignored him and looked at the onlookers.

"Everyone, did this stall owner resist law enforcement violently?"

"No!"

A young man shouted: "I can testify. I was buying bananas at the time; they came over and without saying a word, they smashed the person's stall."

Zhou Andong looked coldly at the young man: "Did you hear that?"

The young man stopped talking. Zhou Andong had a very poor impression of this young man.

"Do ordinary people deserve to be bullied? By the time these good people are forced by you to become bad people, the first ones to suffer will probably be you."
