However, he was calm inside. After all, he didn't want to bother Zhao Yunlong with such a trivial matter. Besides, this was for his lover. Damn it, if Zhao Yunlong questioned him later, it would be really hard to talk about it!
He had initially believed that Lin Feng would do his best, but hearing Hou Ji criticize Lin Feng like that made him even happier. He thought to himself that even if he didn't say anything, Lin Feng wouldn't let this bastard off easily!
"Here's your crappy phone! Don't think you can scare me with a fancy phone. I'm not falling for that!" Hou Ji said smugly as he tossed the phone back to Li Yang, curling his lip in disdain.
Su Xiaoxiao was initially a little anxious, knowing Li Yang's influence. Seeing that the people Li Yang had found were not giving her any face, she felt uneasy. However, when she looked up and saw Li Yang's cold smile, she quickly understood the situation and stopped laughing.
When the two men started laughing, Hou Ji stopped laughing. Instead, he felt uneasy. What were they laughing about? He started to feel uneasy. Could it really have been that person just now?
A chill ran down my spine, and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead; I was half-sober. Just then, the office phone rang.
Hou Ji was startled and shuddered, then rushed back.
Li Yang, pulling Su Xiaoxiao along, followed them in with a cold smile, and walked into the police station compound with an air of nonchalance.
When Hou Ji saw the caller ID, his legs went weak! Wasn't this the county bureau's number? Why was they calling at this hour?
Feeling uneasy, he answered the phone and whispered, "Hello, who is this...?"
"You son of a bitch! Shen Mao! How much have you drunk? You don't even recognize Captain Lin from the Municipal Bureau? Have you had enough of being the station chief? Want to go home and fix up the earth?!" came the roar of the county bureau chief from inside.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I'm not Director Shen, I'm Hou Ji, Deputy, Deputy Director!" Hou Ji's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his whole body felt chilly, as if a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! He couldn't help but shiver!
"You son of a bitch! If you neglect anyone, I'll send you straight home to eat shit!" The bureau chief inside was furious, and Lin Feng cursed him in the ear like he was some kind of grandson!
He was so eager to climb the social ladder that he even gave Lin Feng a gift last Chinese New Year. This year, Lin Feng finally begged him for help, and this bastard insulted him! Damn it, isn't this putting him in a very difficult position?
You bastard, if you try to roast me, I'll send you home to eat shit!
"Yes, yes, yes..."
After that, all he could say while waiting for his flight was that one word. He was bent over like a bean sprout, drenched in cold sweat that soaked the ground.
Li Yang and Su Xiaoxiao stood coldly at the door, not saying a word, just watching Hou Ji tremble there.
He figured the little bit of horse urine he drank that morning had long since been washed away with his cold sweat. Seeing him hang up the phone tremblingly, Li Yang, on the contrary, adopted an air of superiority, glancing sideways at the waiting area.
Su Xiaoxiao was also incredibly clever; she stood beside Li Yang, cold and aloof, not uttering a single word. For a moment, the two of them exuded an imposing and unapproachable aura.
Hou Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, "Damn Su Can, you've ruined my life!"
"Um, how should I address you two?" At this point, Hou Ji could only swallow his pride and act like a subservient grandson to serve Li Yang and Su Xiaoxiao.
If he doesn't do his job properly, he might be kicked out and sent home to plow the fields. That's a big deal. In his eyes, Su Can is a troublemaker right now. Damn it, you're pushing your cousin into a fire pit! If that's the case, then I don't have a cousin like you, and I don't have any relation to your family. Damn it!
"Li Yang!"
"Su Xiaoxiao".
"Mr. Li, Ms. Su, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier. I had a couple of ounces of liquor and my head was spinning. I didn't know how to speak or act properly. Please, be magnanimous and don't hold a grudge against a nobody like me. Just let me off the hook." That bastard is a complete idiot with a brain full of mush.
Damn, you haven't done anything yet, and you're already asking them to let you go? Do you think that's going to work?
snort!
Li Yang indeed exhaled through his nostrils. When he farted, he didn't hear it and even wrinkled his nose, which smelled terrible.
Su Xiaoxiao also kept a cold face and didn't say a word.
Hou Ji wasn't completely stupid. A thought struck him, and he immediately remembered their purpose. He slapped his thigh and said, "Look at my stupid brain! You wanted to see Su Jincai, didn't you? He's here. I'll go release him right now. Actually, this whole thing was caused by the villagers. I've always said that prolonged detention is illegal. As a law enforcement officer, I'm a public servant; I can't knowingly break the law and harm the people, right? But their village chief told me that Su Jincai needs to be detained a little longer, afraid he'll cause trouble in the village."
Chapter 351: A Smash
“You know we local officials are all about communicating with the people. This village chief is an official, isn’t he? He represents the interests of the people and the face of the government, isn’t he? He said he wanted to lock him up, so you see, I can’t just let him go! Hehe…” Hou Ji, that grandson of a bit, was quick-witted. In just a short while, he had pushed a mess onto Su Can’s family and cleaned himself up completely.
"Is that so?" Li Yang remained noncommittal. He had seen through Li Yang's tricks at a glance, but he was too lazy to expose them.
"Yes, it must be. If you don't believe me, go and ask around in the village. The village chief of Su Family Village has a lot of prestige. Usually, he makes all the decisions in the village!" Hou Ji said, repeatedly denying the allegations.
"Oh." Li Yang's eyes flashed, but he thought to himself, "Wow, so arrogant. Then I'll kick you out and replace you with a new village chief!"
Hou Ji naturally had no idea what he was thinking. He just kept shirking responsibility, hoping that Li Yang would be happy and not hold him accountable so that he could explain to those above him.
"Hey, hey, he's locked up here." Hou Ji led the two to a private room, where a strong, pungent stench immediately hit them.
Li Yang frowned and held his breath. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened, and she covered her mouth. Su Jincai had been locked up in a place like this for over a month!
Isn't this torture? Although Su Jincai is useless, he is still Su Xiaoxiao's brother, and they are blood relatives, aren't they? Su Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but feel sad and upset.
"Why did you lock him up here?" Su Xiaoxiao said angrily.
Hou Ji chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Isn't that right? Whoever comes will be detained here anyway. Detained? Do you think they'll stay in the presidential suite?"
"Well, the conditions here are really limited. Look, this is the only place we can stay!" Hou Ji explained hesitantly to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was also angry in the heat of the moment, but she was well aware of the unspoken rules and regulations involved. She rushed to the door and called out, "Brother, brother—"
"Huh? Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao, is that you?" Su Jincai shouted excitedly from inside. With a "bang," something slammed against the door. Li Yang glanced inside and saw a bearded man leaning excitedly against the door.
It looks like it's Su Jincai.
Click! The door opened. Su Jincai rushed out like a gust of wind, but suddenly froze, staring at Su Xiaoxiao with his mouth agape in astonishment. This, this beautiful woman in front of him, was simply a model from TV, a female star from TV!
Is this really my sister? Although my sister is the most beautiful girl within a ten-mile radius, this one in front of me is just too beautiful!
"Xiaoxiao, are you Xiaoxiao?" Su Jincai didn't recognize her for a moment, and just rubbed his hands together and called out.
"elder brother--"
