Chapter 2722

Lu Xiaoya wasn't flustered at all. She said, "Will five thousand yuan settle it?"

One of the group quickly said, "Yes, yes, since Officer Bai is interceding, then five thousand yuan will do. Consider it my younger brother's bad luck to have run into you."

At this moment, Bian Shuangxi, Xia Song, Zhai Yingjie, and Zhang Heping also arrived. Seeing the scene, they were all a bit stunned. Su Xinghui gestured to them, signaling them not to speak.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then how about this: take him to the hospital, let the doctor examine him to see what the situation is. If he's injured, I'll pay for his treatment, take responsibility for helping him get healed, and treat him to the end. Officer, what do you think?"

The officer said, "Why are you so stubborn? Just pay the five thousand yuan and let them go, and they guarantee they won't pursue you anymore. If this is your attitude, we're really leaving!"

A big man nearby said, "Officer, you're not right to say that. This lady is also not wrong. He said he was hit by a car, so it must be checked to be sure. Paying without checking—what if the injury is serious and five thousand isn't enough? What if the injury is light and it doesn't cost five thousand? Who knows if this is a scam?"

The big man's words enraged those few people. They roared, "Who are you calling a scammer?"

The officer also looked at the big man, frowning: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying my handling of this is wrong? Are you questioning the police? Do you believe I'll handcuff you right now?"

The big man calmly extended his wrists toward the officer and said, "I, Junzi, am just saying a fair word. Since you have such great power, then handcuff me if you want. Once we get to the public security bureau, I'd like to ask what law I've broken!"

Upon hearing the name Junzi, the expressions of those scammers and the officer turned solemn. Clearly, the name Junzi was quite famous in Baozhou.

The officer asked, "Are you Junzi from West Street?"

Junzi pointed his hand to the west and said, "Yes, I live right there, two minutes away."

The officer whispered, "Then what is your relationship with them?"

Clearly, the officer wanted to find out the relationship between Junzi and Lu Xiaoya's group to judge whether he should grant this favor.

Junzi said, "I have no relationship with them. I'm just saying a fair word. Is that not allowed?"

The officer said, "Since you have no relationship with them, then don't get involved in this muddy water, okay?"

Junzi said, "This group of scammers is too much; they've ruined Baozhou's reputation. Who will come to Baozhou in the future? Let me tell you, get out of the way immediately, or else every time I see you, I'll beat you once."

Those scammers were clearly a bit timid; obviously, this Junzi was a ruthless person. But they weren't willing to have their source of income cut off just like that. One person said, "Officer, look, even in your presence, he dares to speak like this. Isn't this too arrogant? Aren't you going to do something?"

The leading officer's brow furrowed even tighter. He said to Junzi, "Junzi, since this matter has nothing to do with you, then don't get involved."

Junzi shook his head and said, "I just can't stand this group of scammers. I saw what happened today, and I definitely have to get involved."

The officer suddenly became angry: "Do you think I'm really afraid of you? If you keep being relentless, do you believe I'll really handcuff you?"

Junzi still calmly extended his hands and said, "I just told you to handcuff me and you haven't yet. Go ahead and handcuff me!"

A group of people behind Junzi also clamored: "Handcuff him! If you don't, you're a coward!"

"I don't believe that in such a big Baozhou, there's no place for reason, and that you bastards can cover the sky with one hand?"

"Baozhou's reputation is ruined by you bastards!"

This put the officer in a difficult position. Just as he was about to get angry out of shame, he heard Bian Shuangxi cough heavily. The officer subconsciously looked back and saw Su Xinghui and the others. Although he didn't recognize Su Xinghui, he recognized Bian Shuangxi and Zhang Heping. He was stunned.

He quickly walked toward Bian Shuangxi, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Director Bian!"

Bian Shuangxi said with anger on his face, "Officer Bai, you have quite the prestige!"

The officer panicked immediately and didn't know what to say.

Bian Shuangxi said, "This is Deputy Mayor Su, and this lady is his wife!"

Bian Shuangxi's voice wasn't loud, but to the officer's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap. What? They had tried to scam the wife of the Deputy Mayor?

At this time, Su Wenjun and his wife also got out of the car with Niuniu. Niuniu shouted happily and lunged at Su Xinghui, saying, "Daddy!"

Su Xinghui squatted down, hugged Niuniu, and asked, "Niuniu, have you been obedient at home these past few days?"

Niuniu nodded and said, "I've been very obedient."

Su Xinghui said, "Then, were you scared by what just happened?"

Niuniu said, "I wasn't scared at all. I know they are bad guys, and my daddy is a specialist at beating bad guys!"

The officer signaled the scammers to pull up the person lying on the ground. He walked up to Su Xinghui, bowed respectfully, and said, "I'm sorry, Deputy Mayor Su, I really didn't know this was your wife!"

Su Xinghui stood up and said calmly to the officer, "Listening to you, if you had known she was my wife, were you prepared to bend the law for personal gain? No, the law applies to everyone equally. Since she hit someone, she should go and be processed. Whatever compensation is due, let it be paid!"

The officer panicked: "Deputy Mayor Su, it's really not necessary. Your wife can leave now!"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "No, we must go to the scene to handle it today. As a family member of the party involved, I will also be there. I want to see exactly what this matter is all about today!"
