Chief Feng didn’t understand the situation. He thought that Hu Xiaohua had come representing Qin Huaiyuan and was looking for trouble with s.h.i.+ Lei. 

After all, although the possibility of Qin Huaiyuan having some sort of relations.h.i.+p with a big business like Zhengping Real Estate was low, it was even lower for s.h.i.+ Lei. Chief Feng couldn’t just think that Hu Xiaohua had come for s.h.i.+ Lei, right? So because of that, he naturally misunderstood. 

When Chief Feng finished his sentence, Hu Xiaohua didn’t have any reaction whatsoever. In reality, he didn’t know s.h.i.+ Lei at all and didn’t plan on getting to know him. It was just that his father had pulled him out of bed really early in the morning and he had been quite unhappy at the time, since he’d returned home at three to four in the morning and didn’t get a lot of sleep. 

It was only after he had mumbled a few words and earned a kick from his father that he realized something was off. 

Then Hu Dong had told him to go to the hospital and look for a person called Qin Huaiyuan. He told the whole story to him, asked him to make the biggest fuss possible, then had him take the blame for demolis.h.i.+ng the house. Hu Xiaohua was immediately amused. “Heh, this guy is quite good, huh? He tore down his house?!” 

“Why do you find such nonsensical things exciting?” Hu Dong scolded.

“It’s not really about the nonsense and causing trouble. It’s just something new. If it was me and anyone dared to touch you, I would send their whole family to the hospital. And if they could be discharged within a year, then that would mean I wasn’t not capable enough!” 

“All you know to do is cause trouble!” Hu Dong kicked him again, but was also amused. 

“But dad, who is this s.h.i.+ Lei? Why are you helping him like this? Don’t tell me he’s a mistake you made years ago!” 

Hu Dong sent another kick his way and scolded, “A friend asked me to, so cut the nonsense! I will never have such a stain on my past! Your mother pa.s.sed away many years ago and I didn’t even find you a new mother! Well, enough of this.You have to settle this perfectly. If anything goes wrong, just you wait to be grounded!”

“What friend is this, for you to need to be so careful?” Hu Xiaoyuan mumbled resentfully. 

Hu Dong narrowed his eyes. “A friend even your father has to look up. There is absolutely no room for mistake.”

“If even you have to look up them, why can’t they just do something? Why do they have to go through the trouble of asking you?” 

“Why are you so full of questions when I ask you to do something? Hurry up, get your pack of scoundrels, and f*ck off to take care of this for me!” 

Hu Xiaohua then quickly threw on his clothes and made calls to his friends on the way to the hospital. After he left, Hu Dong muttered to himself, “How can I talk to you about the Eye of the Dark Night? Without them, how would I have such a big business? I must deal with them my whole life, but it’s different for you…” 

This was also according to s.h.i.+ Lei’s request. Other than Hu Dong, the rest of the people who helped would do so without the intervention of any sort of black technology. Before, Wei Qin’s memories were wiped, and he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw s.h.i.+ Lei again, making s.h.i.+ Lei think that the black technology wasn’t very reliable. His secret would last longer if the memories of the people involved this time were not wiped. 

So although Hu Xiaohua was being very flamboyant about this, it was only because of his father’s request. After all, how would he know who s.h.i.+ Lei was? 

Hence, Hu Xiaohua didn’t really take it to heart when Chief Feng addressed s.h.i.+ Lei rudely. If they really were friends, then he would’ve cursed at Chief Feng a long time ago. 

This directly contributed to Chief Feng thinking that Hu Xiaohua had come looking for trouble with s.h.i.+ Lei. He had already been beaten up by the kid once and was wis.h.i.+ng for someone to come and discipline him. This was mainly because after Chief Zhou had arrived, they didn’t talk about it too much, only greeting him with flowery language. 

After Chief Zhou had come, he’d asked about s.h.i.+ Zhongping’s case. Although he didn’t provide any guidance on what to do about it, he was dumbfounded for a while after hearing that s.h.i.+ Lei had gotten a bulldozer and demolished Qin Huaiyuan’s house. 

As for Chief Zhou, he had misunderstood his leaders’ intentions, since he thought that the bureau just wanted to pressure Qin Huaiyuan and that s.h.i.+ Lei didn’t have a significant background. Hence, after he heard the story, he immediately said, “These are two separate cases. The case you need to manage is the one about Qin Huaiyuan ordering people to a.s.sault s.h.i.+ Zhongping. But this one cannot be ignored either.” 

In Chief Zhou’s perspective, s.h.i.+ Lei was just a small figure. The reason the bureau leaders cared so much was because they wanted to punish Qin Huaiyuan. He wasn’t anyone important himself, and now that problems had arisen on both sides, it would only be fair for the police to deal with both cases at the same time. They had to treat both the rich and the poor equally under the law. 

Chief Feng naturally misunderstood Hu Xiaohua’s intentions even more after receiving this kind of order. After he invited Hu Xiaohua and his friends into the police station, he arranged for them to sit in a conference room and ordered people to make tea for them. 

“Stop the ha.s.sle! Hurry up and bring s.h.i.+ Lei here!” Hu Xiaohua said unhappily.

Chief Feng was somewhat conflicted. This is the police station after all. If word gets out that you beat him up here, it will really be hard for us.

He was about to say something when Chief Zhou walked in. The fuerdais all knew him and nodded in greeting. 

Chief Zhou had seen what was going on from upstairs and didn’t really overthink the situation. They were all famous fuerdais in Run Zhou and he wanted to interact with them more, so he took the initiative and came to meet them. 

“We are honored by your presence here, Hu Shao. Why didn’t tell us sooner so I could have them greet you?” 

Hu Xiaohua smiled. “How does Chief Zhou have the time to come to a small district police station? Don’t tell me you are also here for s.h.i.+ Lei’s case?” 

“What a coincidence! Hehe, don’t worry. We will definitely handle it justly.” 

As he was speaking, a woman’s voice sounded from outside. “Chief Zhou, I can hear your voice!” 

Chief Zhou was blank for a second before realizing that it was the province’s famous lawyer, Zhang Meimei, who had called him yesterday to register the case. He knew that Zhang Meimei had decided to take s.h.i.+ Lei’s case and frowned slightly. Well, this is awkward, he thought. However, he quickly made up his mind. You, Zhang Meimei, are only a lawyer. And from a different city, too! You have no right to interfere with Run Zhou’s affairs. The point is that s.h.i.+ Lei didn’t try to stay out of trouble and went and demolished Qin Huaiyuan’s house. Although what Qin Huaiyuan’s wife said about him getting beaten up is false, s.h.i.+ Lei has injured two police officers here at the station. Just because the higher ups want to pressure Qin Huaiyuan, it doesn’t mean that we will let s.h.i.+ Lei go. 

Hence, he said to Hu Xiaohua, “My apologies, Hu Shao. That brat’s lawyer is here. I’ll go and make her leave.” 

Hu Xiaohua smiled. “Oh? s.h.i.+ Lei’s lawyer? Let her in!” 

Chief Zhou was under the impression that Hu Xiaoyuan thought there wasn’t enough of a commotion and wanted more fun, so he smiled and said, “Since she’s a famous lawyer, I have to give her some face. But this is Run Zhou and in the end, she’s only a lawyer. No matter what, her influence doesn’t reach as far as my authority here. But since Hu Shao wants to let her in, we’ll take a look. Oh, even though she’s a bit old, she’s a real beauty!” Chief Zhou sent a signal to Chief Feng, who took the hint and opened the door. 

When Zhang Meimei entered, Hu Xiaohua’s and the others’ eyes shone. She looked like she was just a little over thirty years ago, in her prime. She dressed professionally, making her appear even more impressive. 

“Chief Zhou, what a coincidence. I called my acquaintance who is involved in this and he said he is at the police station, so I didn’t go to the subbureau to visit you and headed straight here instead. I didn’t think that you would be here as well.”
