Chapter 725: Determined to Climb Up!

Two burly men, one on the left and one on the right, hoisted Ma Ran by his shoulders.

They threw him out the door like a dead dog.

Ma Ran felt absolutely wretched!

Especially when Chen Dongan looked at him, his gaze carried a hint of mockery; that condescending feeling made one's hair stand on end.

The police car arrived quickly, and several people stepped out of the vehicle.

"Who called the police!"

"Me!" The owner of the noodle shop took the initiative to step forward and said loudly, "This person came to my shop to cause trouble."

The police officer walked to Ma Ran's side and caught a strong smell of alcohol; his first reaction was that it was a drunk and disorderly case.

"You come with us, go to the Police Station to sober up!" The police officer gave the auxiliary officer a look.

The auxiliary officer walked over, attempting to pull Ma Ran up.

Ma Ran dodged and said coldly, "I'm not drunk, you don't need to help me."

Huo Xiaowen stood to the side, secretly wiping away tears; seeing Ma Ran risk his life for her made her feel a bit moved, but because this incident had caused such a negative impact, she also felt a trace of despair.

Having offended Chen Dongan, let alone applying for the Model Standard Bearer.

In the future, he would definitely be given a hard time at school.

Ma Ran sat into the police car, and Huo Xiaowen followed and sat in as well.

The police officer did not speak, but pricked up his ears!

Ma Ran raised his eyes and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Huo Xiaowen said, "Ma Ran, you've caused a huge problem, what are you going crazy for?"

Ma Ran snorted, "We've broken up. Whatever trouble I've caused has nothing to do with you!"

Huo Xiaowen bit her lip, "Why are you so narrow-minded? Isn't it just attending a social engagement? You go out to social engagements every day, why have I never complained?"

Ma Ran laughed out loud, "Are a man's social engagements the same as a woman's? I followed you from the school to the restaurant; if you were just eating normally, would I have suddenly rushed in? Huo Xiaowen, I didn't expect six years of affection to be exchanged for betrayal."

At this moment, Huo Xiaowen felt Ma Ran was unreasonable.

Had she done anything that would make heaven angry and people resentful?

It was just playing along for the sake of the occasion; perhaps it was a bit out of line, but neither mentally nor physically had she betrayed Ma Ran.

"Fine, you're the one who wanted to break up, so let's break up! Officer, this person has had too much to drink and is acting crazy, please educate him well!"

Having said that, Huo Xiaowen exited the police car.

The police car gradually disappeared, and her tears also flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Perhaps it was time to put a period on the love she had been running for several years.

……

Through the conversation between Ma Ran and Huo Xiaowen, the police officer had basically figured out the situation.

As a man, he was certainly on Ma Ran's side.

However, the procedures that had to be followed still had to be followed.

Ma Ran was taken to the Interrogation Room, and the police officer handed him a glass of water, "Sober up well here; once you've sobered up enough, you can leave."

The police officer patted Ma Ran on the shoulder, said nothing, and then walked out of the Interrogation Room.

Ma Ran took the water from the police officer's hand and suddenly felt a bit sentimental; tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

……

Chen Dongan sat in the car, the more he thought about tonight's events, the angrier he became; the originally pleasant atmosphere had come to an abrupt end because of an accident.

Chen Dongan had originally still been a bit tipsy.

But now, it had been washed away completely by anger.

"How did Huo Xiaowen's boyfriend come over?"

Jiang Zhongwen smiled bitterly, "I asked around last time; Teacher Huo had a boyfriend before, but it seems I heard her family didn't approve, so they broke up."

Seeing Jiang Zhongwen hand over a cigarette, Chen Dongan took it, and after lighting it, took a puff and continued to ask, "So that's the ex-boyfriend?"

Jiang Zhongwen could only find ways to appease Bureau Chief Chen, "Bureau Chief Chen, after what happened today, Teacher Huo must be more flustered than anyone else. Tomorrow morning, I will find Teacher Huo to have a heart-to-heart talk and persuade her to take the initiative to apologize to you."

Hearing Jiang Zhongwen say this, Chen Dongan's eyes lit up, "Today's incident has nothing to do with Teacher Huo; what kind of apology is she making?"

Jiang Zhongwen smiled and buttered him up, "Bureau Chief Chen is truly magnanimous and cherishes the fair sex! It's mainly because her ex-boyfriend went too far; he didn't understand the situation and started fighting at the slightest disagreement."

Chen Dongan suddenly had a bad feeling, "What kind of person is Teacher Huo's ex-boyfriend? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Jiang Zhongwen said disdainfully, "I heard before that he seems to work at the County Government, but he's just a small Staff Member. Teacher Huo is so beautiful and has so many talents; honestly, if you want to keep a canary, you still need to have self-awareness and weigh your own strength."

The more Chen Dongan thought about it, the more something felt wrong, "Works at the County Government? You need to arrange for someone to check; I always feel like I've seen him."

Chen Dongan had indeed met Ma Ran a few times, but it was only a nodding acquaintance.

Chen Dongan had very few opportunities to come into contact with Tang Ye, and every time he saw Ma Ran, it was just a passing glance with no interaction.

Besides, from the bottom of his heart, Chen Dongan didn't even look up to Tang Ye!

Let alone his Liaison Officer.

……

In the middle of the night, Ma Ran felt he had sobered up enough.

Looking back, his behavior today was indeed not worth it.

If the matter blew up, he would become famous at the County Government.

Without venting this frustration, he always felt very depressed.

However, if he hadn't finished that bottle of wine, he wouldn't have been so impulsive.

Chen Dongan had worked in Dayu County for many years and was an old hand.

And he had only been working for two years; compared to Chen Dongan, he was simply not in the same weight class.

As for Huo Xiaowen choosing to deceive herself and fawn over Chen Dongan, that was also a realization of social reality.

Ma Ran had never been as filled with a desire for power as he was now.

He made up his mind that he must climb higher.

One day, he would make Huo Xiaowen, her parents, and Chen Dongan—all those people who looked down on him—see him in a new light!

The door to the Interrogation Room was pushed open.

A police officer walked in, "Are you feeling a bit better?"

Ma Ran sighed, "Comrade, I've troubled you today."

The police officer was taken aback for a moment, then consoled him, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why hang yourself from a single tree?"

Ma Ran laughed at himself, "Thank you for those words, I will try to digest them. Are there any procedures I need to complete?"

The police officer waved his hand, "No procedures needed. We know what happened. To be honest, although your actions were a bit impulsive, what you did was very manly. However, don't be so quick to resort to force next time; you need to look at the gap in strength between both sides, otherwise, you'll be the one who ends up suffering."

Seeing that the police officer had spoken a fair word, Ma Ran said with emotion, "Thank you for your advice."

The police officer escorted Ma Ran to the entrance of the Police Station.

An auxiliary police officer walked over and said in a low voice, "Just letting him go like this?"

The police officer glanced at the auxiliary police officer with a faint smile, "Of course, or are you going to treat him to breakfast?"

The auxiliary police officer realized, "Is this person a big deal?"

The police officer said nonchalantly, "I don't know if he's a big deal or not, but it's best not to make things difficult for people from the County Government. It's not like it's a major matter anyway!"
