Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Zhu Touqiang Stands Firm_1

Translator: 549690339

In the van, Zhu Touqiang, who had been knocking his head loudly, heard the sound of the police siren. A glimmer of hope shone through his eyes, swollen to mere slits.

“My savior is here, I’m finally going to be saved,” mumbled Zhu Touqiang, trying to stand, but his knees were numb from kneeling for so long. Without carefulness, his body toppled backward.

With a “crash,” his 200-pound body fell straight out of the van, sprawling on the ground like a mass of fat.

By that time, the police car had stopped in front of him, and several officers in black uniforms jumped out, all looking toward the injured men on the ground, vomiting blood.

“Brother Liu, Brother Liu, it’s me, Aqiang,” Zhu Touqiang called out excitedly from the ground, looking up at the leading officer.

“Aqiang?”

The leader paused and directed his gaze at Zhu on the ground.

He was Liu Hai, the Chief of the Songning District Police Station in Zhonghai City.

Given that Zhu’s Jin Hui Group operated within the jurisdiction of Songning District, Liu Hai was an old acquaintance.

“Brother Liu, help me, quick. There’s a psycho killer here. He injured three of my men, killed my dog, and beat me up like this. Arrest him fast,” Zhu pleaded while grabbing Liu Hai’s hand, sobbing like a child.

“This is outrageous!” roared Liu Hai upon seeing Zhu’s swollen face, his anger evident.

“You must seek justice for us good citizens, Brother Liu,” Zhu implored, gripping Liu Hai’s hands firmly with tears streaming down his face, appearing as wronged as a young bride.

“Don’t worry, I will give you an explanation. We must severely punish such a brutal and lawless criminal,” Brother Liu patted Zhu’s hand reassuringly.

“Who is the culprit?” Brother Liu asked Zhu.

“It’s him, that bastard with the kid, Brother Liu, arrest him! Make sure to use guns, he knows kung fu!” Zhu pointed resentfully at Xu Fan.

Upon hearing this, two officers drew their sidearms, aiming the dark muzzles at Xu Fan.

“Attention, criminal! You are surrounded. Surrender now or else don’t blame me for being unkind,” said Brother Liu, signaling to an officer who then took out a pair of alloy handcuffs and walked towards Xu Fan.

“It’s not like he says. My daughter was almost bitten by his dog. The people lying on the ground attacked me first. I was simply defending myself. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage,” Xu Fan said calmly, not flustered by the pistols pointed at him, addressing Liu Hai deliberately.

“The evidence is right in front of us; it’s not something you can simply talk your way out of! Come with us to the station. If we determine you haven’t broken any laws, we will release you. But if you’re guilty, you won’t escape!” Liu Hai stated sternly, pointing at the three gravely injured men on the ground, “Can these severe injuries be explained away by self-defense?”

“Daddy, Tongtong is so scared. Why does the uncle want to arrest Tongtong?” Tongtong asked Xu Fan, with tears welling up in her little eyes and a look of misery and confusion.

“Don’t be afraid, Tongtong. Daddy is here. The police are just taking us for an inquiry. As long as the truth is clear, they’ll let us go,” Xu Fan hugged Tongtong tightly and whispered reassurance into her ear.

“Brother Liu, what should we do with the child in his arms?” asked an officer, a flicker of pity in his eyes as he turned to Liu Hai.

“The child can stay at home,” Brother Liu told Xu Fan.

“Daddy, I don’t want to stay at home alone. I want to be with Daddy,” Tongtong clung to Xu Fan, refusing to let go.

“It’s okay, Daddy will stay with Tongtong,” Xu Fan said as he picked up Tongtong, patting her back. He didn’t feel comfortable leaving Tongtong alone at home.

“The surveillance in the residential area can prove my innocence. These people were attacking me. My response was purely self-defense. I never initiated an attack on anyone. They’re on the ground because they’re simply weak, pretending to be dead with just a light brush from me,” Xu Fan explained evenly.

“Alright, someone go and copy the surveillance video from the security room. Also, call an ambulance quickly and have all the injured sent to the hospital,” Brother Liu ordered his subordinates, pointing at the injured men on the ground bleeding from their mouths.

Upon hearing Liu Hai’s command, two policemen immediately headed for the security room. The others brought out handcuffs and stood before Xu Fan, bluntly telling him, “Put your hands out.”

Xu Fan looked around. Although the policemen were armed, with his skill level, he saw a hundred ways he could easily break free. Yet, thinking of Tongtong, who had already experienced so much distress with him, Xu Fan suppressed the thought of using force.

“I’ll go with you to the station for questioning, but I’m not a criminal right now, and I don’t need these handcuffs. My daughter will only stay with me, and I need my hands free to hold my daughter,” Xu Fan said to Liu Hai.

He needed his hands to hold his daughter; how could he do that with handcuffs? Handcuffs were useless to him; he could break them with a single pull. But as the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, he was accustomed to locking up others, never having been handcuffed himself.

“As long as you behave, we don’t have to handcuff you. Your daughter is so cute; don’t do anything drastic,” warned Brother Liu to Xu Fan.

“Relax, I’m innocent and fear no false accusation. I just want a thorough investigation to clear my name,” Xu Fan asserted coolly.

“Good then, take him away!” Brother Liu commanded, then said to the officer with the handcuffs, “No handcuffs, but keep a close eye on him. You’ll be responsible if anything goes wrong.”

“By the way, I need a guarantor. If there’s an issue, have him come pick up my daughter,” Xu Fan stated collectedly as he took out his phone.

The call went directly to Lu Chennong, and didn’t even ring twice before it was answered.

“Brother Lu, I’m at the Songning District station, got into some trouble. If you’re free, could you come take care of my daughter for me?”

After speaking, Xu Fan hung up the phone.
