Chapter 63: The Rightful Person Has Arrived

“Hooligan crime?”

Upon hearing this, both Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun burst into laughter on the spot.

Liu Kun, with no regard for decorum, was holding his belly and laughing hysterically. He pointed at Li Lixue, said, “Hooligan crime? Her? Did she rape you? With a guy like you, does she even need to harass you?”

“Insolence! Who do you think you are, daring to openly obstruct law enforcement? Keep messing around, and we won’t hesitate to arrest you too, charging you with contempt of state authority!”

Liu Kun’s behavior and tone had infuriated the leading police officer. The officer glared fiercely at Liu Kun, speaking with an utmost severity.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang remained calm, this matter seemed to be getting more and more interesting. He didn’t know if Li Lixue was a virgin, nor did he have the ability to judge a woman’s virginity based solely on their appearance. From his understanding of Li Lixue and from the attitude she displayed in recent months, she was without doubt a woman of self-respect and dignity. He completely refused to believe she would commit a hooligan crime.

The ‘hooligan crime’ as defined in the national law, refers to behaviors such as participating in brawls, causing trouble, insulting women or engaging in other hooligan activities causing severe disruption to public order. But no matter how Nie Zhenbang looked at it, he couldn’t replace any hooligan behavior by Li Lixue. It seemed like yet another example of civilians being oppressed by those with power and authority.

“Oh, arrest me? I don’t believe this, from childhood till now, no one has ever dared to say this to me. Here I am now, go ahead and try to arrest me.” Liu Kun might look obliging when following Nie Zhenbang’s command, but on his own, Liu Kun was quite influential. In addition, his father had recently risen in ranks, so in Jingcheng, Liu Kun also held a relatively significant position.

As Liu Kun spoke in his characteristic Jingcheng accent and with Long and Tiger watchfully standing nearby, the few policemen from the station also started to have second thoughts.

This was all due to their strong demeanor. These men, who dealt with criminals on a regular basis and had a deep understanding of society, sure had quite the discerning eyes. Someone’s true nature couldn’t be hidden, and the guy standing in front of them was either a madman or someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

“Gu Suo, don’t be impulsive, take a look at those two guards, they’re much better than us. That jeep on the side, it’s got the Ninth Border Army’s plaques, these guys must be pretty serious. We can’t afford it. In this situation, it’s better for us to guard here while you go inform Xu Jingui. We just have to prevent her from running away, whether or not we can take her away depends on Xu Jingui’s ability.” A policeman muttered quiet words of advice into the ear of the lead officer.

Gu Suo glanced at the military vehicle, took measure of Long and Tiger’s formidable physique, and their seemingly ready-to-fight stance. Gu Suo, who was also a veteran, noticed these signs. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, “Xiao Wang, you keep a close eye on her. Don’t let this woman escape. If she does, we will all be responsible for it.”

Having said this, Gu Suo immediately ran towards the police station while Xiao Wang, the cop he’d addressed, approached the group and said, “Gentlemen, we’re just obeying orders from above. We can refrain from arresting her, but we ask for your understanding and cooperation to stay here and wait. If anyone attempts to run, don’t blame us for being inhospitable.”

By this time, Li Lixue had also stood up. As she looked at Nie Zhenbang, she felt a bit guilty, aware that she had manipulated the situation.

Noticing Nie Zhenbang’s notable displeasure, Li Lixue bowed her head and whispered, “Zhenbang, I’m sorry. I know you’re not an ordinary person. As I’ve thought about it from every angle, it seems like you’re the only one who can solve this problem for me… If…if you don’t want to get involved in the mess, 1’11…1’11 face it by myself. But I hope you could give ten thousand dollars to my mother. If there’s a chance in future, even if it means being a cow or horse, I will repay you.”

Nie Zhenbang appeared unflappable, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation as he stared at Li Lixue, “Li Lixue, honestly, I despise women who play mind games in front of me. How do you know that if you told me directly, I wouldn’t stand up for you? As for money, I can give it to you right away.”

Having said that, Nie Zhenbang turned to Tiger, “Tiger, get $100,000 from the car. Consider it Li Lixue’s salary.”

Upon hearing this, Li Lixue’s face turned deathly pale, and despair overtook her.

Seeing Li Lixue’s reaction, Nie Zhenbang continued, “Li Lixue, consider this an advance on your salary. I don’t want to see this kind of situation again. If it happens again, I won’t be so courteous.”

All present were shocked by the $100,000. However, Li Lixue, staring unbelievingly at Nie Zhenbang, paused for a while and quickly said, “Zhenbang, you…you’re willing to help me? Thank you, thank you. I thank you on behalf of my whole family.”

Looking at Li Lixue in her state of disarray, Nie Zhenbang didn’t feel he was overly harsh. While Li Lixue’s beauty was undeniable, Nie Zhenbang had been skeptical from the start. Now he had a pretty good idea what was going on. If he didn’t want to help, he wouldn’t have come over at all. Right now, he just was giving Li Lixue a warning. After all, what Li Lixue was doing was extremely important to him, and with their transaction getting deeper, there might be highly confidential things involved in the future. Indulgence now could lead to major problems later. Nie Zhenbang preferred to be proactive, taking precautions before anything happened.

Within an hour, two military-green Cherokees were tearing towards them at high speed, only slowing down and screeching to a halt as they neared.

The piercing squeals of the brakes were only silenced when the cars came to a rest, and six or seven young men descended from the vehicles.

The leader, adorned in a white suit and sporting an elegant demeanor, had a slick parting in his hair, resplendent from the generous application of mousse.

The leader was quite handsome, but a risible gap in his smile from a missing front tooth made him stand out. Upon seeing Li Lixue standing beside Nie Zhenbang, the young man’s eyes lit up. After giving Nie Zhenbang a disdainful glance, he turned his attention to Li Lixue.

With a raspy voice, he began, “Li Xue, I’ve said, why bother hiding for so many years? I truly love you. Look, your father died because of this, and your brother has been jailed too. Do you really have the heart to continue this? Follow me, I promise to get your brother out immediately. From then on, your family can enjoy the best life in the entire Enluo Township and Eguna City.”

Li Lixue’s face hardened at these words, her voice filled with anger, “Xu Jingui, stop dreaming! It was you who drove my father to his death. It was you who sent my younger brother to jail for some trumped-up punk charges. What could a fourteen-year-old child do to deserve that? Everyone knows what sort of person you are, not just in Eguna City! I would rather die than be with you. Stop deluding yourself.”

“Jingui, stop waste time blabbering with this whore. I’d say just take her back, put her to bed, and settle everything. Why prolong matters? Your chasing her for seven years has not been easy. This time, you should seize the opportunity and not let the bitch get away,” a young man from the side looked at Li Lixue dismissively and guffawed.

Listening to him spouting obscenities, “whore” and “bitch,” rage welled up in Nie Zhenbang. After all, Li Lixue was with him, being insulted in this way would become a matter of his reputation as well.

Liu Kun jumped in immediately, unable to contain his rage, “Boy! Who are you cursing? Has your mouth been filled with shit when you were born, or what?

Have you no manners? Didn’t your family teach you the Five Stresses and Four Beauties?”

Hearing Liu Kun’s interjection, Xu Jingui’s face darkened. He had been waiting for an opportunity to act.. Seizing the moment, he ordered, “Boys, get this punk! “
