~7 min read 1,315 words

Seeing Su Xinghui's indifferent appearance, Li Yida couldn't help but be stunned. However, he didn't think Su Xinghui was fearless because he had something to rely on; he felt Su Xinghui was just bluffing. He snorted and said, "Just you wait. Of course my uncle will come in person. Junwen is his favorite junior, and you actually beat him like this."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, then I will wait for him here at the village committee."

Su Xinghui moved a chair out from the village committee and sat at the entrance of the village committee with a commanding presence, his gaze sweeping around with such authority that Li Yida dared not meet his eyes.

Li Yida was still worried that Su Xinghui and the others might run away, so he had his youngest brother, Li Wuda, guard the place and keep an eye on them.

But how could Su Xinghui have any intention of running away? Since Hu Yutang was coming, he would just happen to reprimand Hu Yutang face-to-face, and he wanted to hold Hu Yutang accountable in person.

Ge Bin and the others also felt relieved. Since a Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee was coming, he would certainly recognize Su Xinghui, so there would be no possibility of any personal safety issues for Su Xinghui.

Of course, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to now, because the mountain road was blocked by large rocks, and it would require heavy machinery to clear the way.

A little boy whispered to Su Xinghui beside him, "Uncle, you should leave quickly."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "If I leave, what will happen to you all?"

The little boy said, "If you don't leave, you will be arrested."

Su Xinghui stroked his head and said, "No, only these bad people will be arrested."

Just then, Old Shen's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID; it was the call from Secretary Liu of the township. He answered the phone and said, "Secretary Liu, are you looking for me?"

Secretary Liu seemed to be asking what exactly had happened in Jiaoshi Village. Old Shen tried his best to report the events that had occurred there to Secretary Liu as objectively as possible.

After a while, Old Shen hung up the phone. He said with some helplessness, "Teacher Su, Secretary Liu said that Secretary Hu of the County Party Committee is coming over in person. They have already sent construction machinery to clear the road. It is estimated that they will be here in half an hour at most. I will try my best to speak for you. If you have any connections, you should hurry up and call them."

Old Shen's voice was very low; he still had some fear of the Li family's influence, but he was still quite decent toward Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Township Head Shen, thank you. I understand. But I don't think I need to find any connections. I believe that in this world, nothing can overcome the word 'reason'."

Old Shen shook his head. He felt that Su Xinghui was too naive; there were too many unreasonable people in this world. However, he felt he had already done his best. Due to his fear of the Li family's influence, he couldn't say too much.

Thus, everyone waited here for Hu Yutang, waiting for him to come over.

After about twenty minutes, a large shovel loader rumbled over from that mountain road, followed by several small cars, driving toward this side.

Many people became nervous because among those small cars, two had police lights flashing on their roofs, clearly police cars from the County Public Security Bureau.

Those two police cars drove over first, moving very fast, clearly eager to claim credit. The two police cars eager to claim credit stopped at the entrance of the village committee with a screech. Several police officers jumped out of the cars and shouted sternly, "Who is the one who beat people?"

Su Xinghui stood up with a smile: "It was me!"

A leading police officer said, "You are the one who beat people?"

Su Xinghui was too lazy to talk to him anymore and just nodded.

That police officer skillfully took out handcuffs and, with a snap, handcuffed Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui did not resist and let him handcuff him.

The onlookers nearby immediately clamored. Someone said, "Comrade police, why are you arresting people without asking about the rights and wrongs?"

That police officer shouted sternly, "Do I need you to teach me how to handle a case?"

Saying this, he wanted to take Su Xinghui to the police car.

Just then, the cars behind also drove over. The people in them all got out. The fat man in the lead was none other than Hu Yutang. Seeing that the police had already caught someone, he wanted to see who had the audacity to beat his relative.

Hu Yutang looked closely and was immediately scared out of his wits. He shouted, "Mayor Su!"

Su Xinghui sneered, "You still know I am the Mayor? Secretary Hu, you have quite the imposing manner!"

Everyone was stunned into silence. Su Xinghui was actually the Mayor? That police officer eager to claim credit was even more stunned; his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. He had actually handcuffed a Mayor; this was like poking a hole in the sky!

Although Hu Yutang was fat, his mind turned quite fast, and he was also very agile. He stepped forward in a flash and slapped the police officer hard on the face with both a backhand and a forehand slap. He shouted sternly, "Are you blind? Is this how you handle cases? Arresting people without even asking?"

Su Xinghui sneered, "Secretary Hu, you are indeed imposing. Although he is a scoundrel, what right do you have to hit him? Are the police slaves of your Hu family?"

Hu Yutang broke into a cold sweat. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Mayor Su, I was angry that he actually dared to handcuff you, so I couldn't hold back my anger and hit him. I accept your criticism."

After saying this, he said to the police officer, "Why don't you hurry up and open Mayor Su's handcuffs?"

The police officer woke up as if from a dream and took out the key to open Su Xinghui's handcuffs, but Su Xinghui dodged away. He said, "Why open them? You put handcuffs on me without asking anything, but you can't open them without asking anything. What if I really did something wrong today?"

The police officer was almost crying and could only look at Hu Yutang.

Hu Yutang was covered in cold sweat. He knew that for every second Su Xinghui wore those handcuffs, a layer of his own skin would be peeled off. Losing his face was a small matter; he was afraid of losing his official position.

Everything he had came from this official position. If this position were gone, who could he compare to?

Therefore, Hu Yutang accompanied his words with a smile, "Mayor Su, how could you do anything wrong? It must be that someone else did something wrong. Please let him open the handcuffs. You are a Mayor; wearing handcuffs is not good, it damages your image."

Su Xinghui said to the onlookers, "Everyone, does me wearing handcuffs damage my image?"

The onlookers were all excited. They never expected that this young man who had just beaten up Li Junwen's gang was actually the Mayor. Some of them even started to cry.

An old man said, "No damage, Mayor Su, you are a righteous official!"

The old woman who had given Su Xinghui and the others the cold shoulder yesterday said with red eyes, "Mayor Su, righteous official, you have finally come! Our village has been ruined by Li Erdan's family!"
