Chapter 465

After so many years of marriage, Chen Shaokang had never hit Wu Qin; before, he would endure if he could, and if he couldn't, he would go find a quiet place to calm down.

Today's sudden slap left Wu Qin dazed and confused.

Wu Qin stared blankly for half a second, then, upon realizing, flew into a towering rage: 'You dare hit me? Chen Shaokang, I'll fight you to the death!' She sprang up like a shrew and lunged at Chen Shaokang, tearing at him wildly.

Chen Shaokang shoved her hard, and she fell to the ground again.

Chen Shaokang warned coldly, 'If you dare interfere with official duties again, I'll arrest you too!' That shout frightened Wu Qin; she sat on the ground, glaring with resentment, but dared not get up.

At that moment, Zheng Qingxuan glanced sideways at Wu Qin, as if silently saying she deserved it.

Night!

Endless long night!

Like a huge fig leaf!

Attempting to cover this city riddled with wounds!

But there are always those who crave light, advancing like those who go against the flow!

For example, Chen Shaokang, whose gaze is like a blade!

Chen Shaokang stepped toward Zheng Sanshui, once again displaying the arrest warrant before him: 'Now tell me, do I actually have the authority to arrest you?!'

Because his nosebleed wouldn't stop, Zheng Sanshui kept his head tilted back.

The police behind him pressed his shoulders and head, forcing Zheng Sanshui to face the solemn and dignified arrest warrant: 'Open your eyes wide and see clearly!'

"I'm not blind, let go of me!"

Zheng Sanshui angrily shrugged his shoulders, but couldn't shake off the grip of the two officers.

The back of his head was still held down firmly; it wasn't as if he could lift his neck just because he wanted to. Having lived this long, Zheng Sanshui had obviously never been treated this way before; today was the first time.

Zheng Sanshui glared at Chen Shaokang, gritting his bloody teeth as he snarled: 'Chen surname, last time you locked me up, do you know why I got out?!'

Hearing that, Chen Shaokang furrowed his brow slightly.

Those were exactly the words he had been waiting for, waiting for Zheng Sanshui to lash out and call upon his backer!

He pondered silently for a moment.

Chen Shaokang deliberately adopted a disdainful attitude to further provoke Zheng Sanshui: 'Whether you know or not, what difference does it make? Today no one can save you.'

"Heh, you've got quite the mouth." Zheng Sanshui blustered: 'Let me tell you plainly, you're not challenging my bottom line; you're challenging the bottom line of the City Bureau chief, Li Yongyuan! In Li Yongyuan's presence, you're nothing—he can suspend you or make you disappear from the earth!'

"According to what you're saying, last time... was it Deputy Mayor Li who secretly arranged your release?" Chen Shaokang put on a tense expression, his voice trembling.

Zheng Sanshui laughed triumphantly: 'Damn your mother! Now you're scared—what were you doing earlier?'

"Who... who's scared..."

Chen Shaokang placed a hand over his chest, caught his breath, then continued his act: 'Li Yongyuan is merely a deputy mayor in charge of public security; Haishan isn't yet at the point where he can control everything with one hand.'

Zheng Sanshui laughed: 'Li Yongyuan may not be able to cover the sky with one hand, but what about Guo Lichun? You worthless dog, listen up—Guo Lichun has already appointed me the new Dragon King of the Haishan Gang! Opposing me is opposing Guo Lichun! Believe it or not, if you arrest me today, tomorrow you'll be held accountable!'

"I don't believe it."

Chen Shaokang calmly shook his head.

Zheng Sanshui flew into a rage: 'Damn your mother, is Yu Huacheng secretly backing you from behind? Listen up, even if it's Yu Huacheng! Right now he's barely holding on himself, he won't last a few days in Haishan!'

"You scared the hell out of me."

With a faint smile, Chen Shaokang calmly produced his new credentials.

And displayed the credentials in front of Chen Shaokang:

"Regrettably, I must tell you that I am no longer the suspended petty officer of the Old Dock Police Station. Thanks to you, I've been promoted three ranks in a row, and now I am the team leader of the Provincial Department Special Task Force."

Three promotions in a row?

The formerly arrogant Zheng Sanshui, upon seeing the unit and position on the credentials, was stunned into a dazed expression!

He half-believed, half-doubted and asked: 'A fake ID made under the overpass?'

"It seems you're truly blind, never having noticed clearly; that arrest warrant was also issued by the Provincial Department." Chen Shaokang chuckled lightly: 'This time, if you go in, you probably won't come out—it's a hundred percent death sentence.'

"Chen! Shaokang!"

In an instant, Zheng Sanshui's eyes almost popped out of his head.

At this moment he truly resembled a beast fighting for its life, letting out a hysterical roar: 'You, a mere section chief, dare to mess with me? Do you think you're hot stuff?! In front of Guo Lichun and Li Yongyuan, you're still nothing! Moving against me is the same as moving against them—you're courting death!!!'

"You're right—I intend to move against them; you're merely an entry point. This time, whether they bear the surname Guo or Li, not one of them will escape!"

Chen Shaokang's expression turned solemn.

This unquestionable confidence, like an imperial envoy descending, frightened Zheng Sanshui so much his legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground, but fortunately his arms were held up by the two officers beside him.

Zheng Sanshui, dazed and disoriented, muttered: 'Impossible, this is impossible—your identity and credentials are absolutely fake! How could a suspended good-for-nothing possibly be promoted three ranks in a row...'

"Take them away!"

At Chen Shaokang's command, several officers immediately escorted Zheng Sanshui and those thugs out of the rear courtyard.

All that could be heard was Zheng Sanshui's roar of utter unwillingness: 'Chen Shaokang! I'll curse your ancestors!' That howl was truly magnificent and lingering, resentment unabated.

Zheng Qingxuan was meanwhile quietly wiping away tears.

She certainly wouldn't sympathize with a beast's plight; she merely thought of the Zheng family's tomorrow, of her father also being unable to escape disaster, feeling heartbroken.

As for Wu Qin, this time she seemed like a different person, excited beyond measure.

Wu Qin walked over to Chen Shaokang, chuckling: 'Honey, you really got promoted three ranks and transferred to the Provincial Department? When did that happen? You didn't even tell me about such a big thing—it's over the top...'

"......!!!"

Chen Shaokang slightly furrowed his brow, responding indifferently: 'What does that have to do with you?'

"You... are you still mad at me?" Wu Qin stepped forward, looping her arms around Chen Shaokang's shoulders and shaking like a spoiled child: 'Don't be angry, okay? Before, I was forced; it was that beast Zheng Sanshui who raped me—I didn't want to be with him...'

As she spoke, her eyes welled up, and she put on a pitiful, delicate appearance.

Chen Shaokang indifferently shook off her hand on his arm: 'Let go! I told you yesterday—from now on, you walk your sunny path, I walk my narrow bridge; we'll have nothing to do with each other till death.'

"You really want to be that ruthless?"

Wu Qin stared at the expressionless Chen Shaokang, and her tears fell like broken beads.

She shouted resentfully: "All of this is because of you! You were useless before, couldn't even protect your own wife! I was insulted, and you didn't care—that would have been bad enough, but you even blame me?!"

Chen Shaokang turned away without a word.

At that moment Lin Dongfan walked out from behind the foam box: "He doesn't dislike you because your body is dirty; he dislikes you because your heart is base. To be honest, I think you're not worthy of being with Shaokang."

Wu Qin turned and shouted: "Our marital quarrel is none of your business! Don't think a few stinking bucks make you great—I haven't eaten your food or drunk your drink, so it's not your place to butt in!"

"Don't be so narcissistic—with that filthy mouth of yours, even if you begged me to butt in, I wouldn't."

"You!"

"What 'you'? Bastard!"

Before his words even finished, everyone on site collectively broke out in black lines.

Chen Shaokang looked speechless, and Zheng Qingxuan glanced at Lin Dongfan as if he were a lunatic, expressing her speechlessness at those vulgar words.

Lin Dongfan, however, carried himself like a sage gentleman.

As he was leaving, he patted Chen Shaokang on the shoulder, turned and walked away while saying: "Sort it out yourself—if you don't divorce this bastard, I, the young master, will despise you for life."

"!!!"

Chen Shaokang stood there as if turned to stone, numb on his scalp.

Wu Qin suddenly lunged again, grabbing Chen Shaokang's sleeve: "Husband, don't listen to him stirring trouble—I promise you, as long as you don't divorce me, from now on whatever you say goes, and I won't argue with you……"

"Leave."

He shook off that clinging hand, Chen Shaokang turned and walked away, expressionless. It was obvious that even if Lin Dongfan hadn't spoken, he would have made this choice.

This coldness and ruthlessness instantly shattered Wu Qin's hope.

Wu Qin's legs went weak; she sat on the ground, tears streaming, and howled: "Chen Shaokang! You, a Chen Shimei who abandons wife and child, divorce me as soon as you get promoted—you'll die a bad death!"

"!!!"

Whether it's Chen Shimei or Wu Dalang, Chen Shaokang no longer cared; he let Wu Qin curse however she liked and walked away without looking back.

Zheng Qingxuan looked at the hysterical Wu Qin sitting on the ground, merely shook her head helplessly, and then followed Lin Dongfan and Chen Shaokang out of the rear courtyard.
