Chapter 87 Display of Their Abilities
The young man was wearing a camouflage uniform, military boots, and a camouflage hat. He looked pretty young, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was fair-skinned and quite handsome. However, the corner of his mouth suggested he was sort of delinquent.
His delinquency slightly startled Qin Ruohan, which evoked a sense of familiarity in her. After thinking for a while, she finally came to her senses: "Isn't this similar to Chen Liuhe's delinquent intimidation face?"
It was just that he didn't appear to be brutal as naturally as Chen Liuhe. Chen Liuhe was born to be a punk, looking for trouble all the time. But this young man just appeared to be a thug.
"Is this young man imitating Chen Liuhe?" A strange thought flashed in Qin Ruohan's mind. She was a little surprised by Chen Liuhe's influence on others, which had grown so huge that people would like to recreate one of his expressions.
The arrival of the youth attracted everyone's attention. When Zhao Jianglan and the others saw his military shoulder insignia, they couldn't help taking a breath.
Two bars and one star, a major!
This was not even the point. The point was the age of this young man. Twenty-three or twenty-four? He must come from one of the most wealthy and powerful families so that he could reach the rank of major at such an early age.
Of course, personal abilities played a role in climbing the ranks. But the importance of background could not be ignored, especially in the armed force where years of experience were required for promotion.
Chen Liuhe looked at the young man with a smile and remained calm. The young man also saw Chen Liuhe the moment he walked into the private room.
His sturdy aura seemed to disappear suddenly, and his face lighted up due to strong emotions and excitement. At this moment, so many memories flashed through his mind.
When he was a toddler and wore open-crotch pants, he ran to the capital to hang out with Chen Liuhe. He followed Chen Liuhe's lead and did every kind of bad thing. He still remembered that their greatest pleasure was to get into a battle of wits and strength with those trust fund babies from the upper‐upper class families.
In most cases, those who were born with silver spoons were scared to death and beaten to a pulp before they called for reinforcements.
When the reinforcements arrived, he and Chen Liuhe would run for their lives like they were public enemies. In the end, they would always be beaten so badly that they were blue and black.
"Brother Liu." The young man came to Chen Liuhe. Since he was overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes reddened, and he couldn't help shedding tears. He was so excited. After all, they hadn't met for so many years.
He also knew that his Brother Liu had suffered a lot these years and only his tough and strong Brother Liu, whom he admired greatly in his life, could withstand those suffering!
"Brother Liu, I miss you so much." He was a gallant and ambitious soldier, who had never shed a single tear when he was shot. It was hard to imagine such a person would be excited like a child with tears in his eyes at the moment.
"Xiaobai, after all these years you are still a crybaby. No wonder Qingwu always says that you are more girlish than her." Chen Liuhe said with a smile. The emotion in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment.
"I am willing to cry in front of you and our little sister." The young man cried and laughed.
Su Xiaobai was a member of the Su family in the south. One could not imagine the background and power of the Su family if they didn't break into the upper class! Such a guy who could be regarded as a first-class dude was once just Chen Liuhe's sidekick and followed him around.
The two hugged. Su Xiaobai wiped away his tears and said, "Brother Liu, when did you come to Hangcheng? Is our little sister here too? Why didn't you tell me anything?"
Chen Liuhe said with a smile, "You could buy me a drink later. But now you may need to deal with the matter first."
Su Xiaobai slapped his forehead and nodded. He then turned around to look at Liu Shaolin and the armed police. Suddenly, his facial expressions changed completely, which turned sharp, strong, cold, and arrogant.
"I am Su Xiaobai, head of the Tiger Regiment, the 133rd Division of the Hangcheng Garrison. From this moment on, this place is taken over by the first company of the first battalion of the Tiger Regiment!" Su Xiaobai looked around and ordered expressionlessly: "Disarm!"
Following his order, the soldiers forcibly disarmed the people at the scene. Some resisted and then were directly knocked to the ground.
Forceful! Forceful enough to make everyone feel terrified.
"You are mad. Do you want to rebel? You are mere the leader of a regiment. You have no right to take weapons away from me!" Liu Shaolin came to his senses and shouted.
Su Xiaobai didn't say anything. He walked toward Liu Shaolin step by step, taking the assault rifle from a soldier on the way.
Arriving in front of Liu Shaolin, Su Xiaobai slammed the butt of the rifle directly on Liu's forehead without saying a word.
Liu Shaolin cried out in pain and fell to the ground with his hands covering his head.
"Get him up!" Su Xiaobai didn't bat an eye. Two soldiers held up Liu Shaolin. Su Xiaobai smashed the butt of his gun against Liu Shaolin again. He didn't throw the assault rifle back to the soldier until Liu Shaolin's head was bleeding severely after several blows.
Squatting in front of Liu Shaolin, Su Xiaobai said: "I don't need to have reasons to disarm you. Rebel? I think it is you who want to rebel. It is you who dispatch the armed police for your private needs. What do you want to do?"
"Bullshit! I came here because I received information that there is child trafficking and drug dealing here." Liu Shaolin said.
Su Xiaobai smiled contemptuously: "I also received news that people are gathering armed forces here who are suspected of treason."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's heart almost skipped a beat.
Treason? How dare this major said so! If Liu Shaolin was charged with this crime, he would be doomed.
He was so barbaric, so savage! There was no reason at all!
This was the only thought in Zhao Jianglan and the others' minds. The looks that Zeng Xinhua, Gu Tingfeng, and Liu Yong cast at Chen Liuhe had completely changed, which became complicated, horrified, but mostly relieved.
If they hadn't eaten the leek just now, maybe it would be them who were lying on the ground and being pointed at by dozens of guns.
"Bullshit! You slander me!" Liu Shaolin roared angrily.
"Yes, I am slandering you. And if I said that you had committed treason, then you must have." Su Xiaobai sneered and said, "And I can assure you that I have the power to kill you at any time. No consequence would occur if I kill you."
"I am the Deputy Secretary of the Armed Forces Department of Zijin District. We are at the same level of administrative rank. I don't believe you dare to kill me!" Liu Shaolin still refused to admit defeat or he was struggling desperately.
"You don't believe it, do you?" Su Xiaobai sneered. With everyone staring at him, he took out the pistol around his waist and shot Liu Shaolin's thigh without hesitation.
Boom! A loud gunshot was followed by Liu Shaolin's miserable howl. It also struck like a heavy hammer in the depths of everyone's soul.
Su Xiaobai was not bluffing, nor was he joking. He really dared to shoot, and he had already shot. Although he didn't shoot at Liu Shaolin's head, everyone would not doubt the courage of the young officer anymore!
He was a total lunatic!
Qin Ruohan watched the scene in horror. She subconsciously glanced at Chen Liuhe and was surprised by the similarity between them. They were equally mad, reckless, confident, and forceful!
"Want to be more brutal than me? Even if you get rebirth and start it all over again, you could not hold a handle for us!" Su Xiaobai sneered and said: "Brother Liu dared to urinate on the Golden Palace when he was six years old. He even didn't need a lookout. Want to be more brutal us? Don't make a fool of yourself!
You are just the Deputy Secretary of the Armed Forces Department of Zijin District. How dare you flaunt yourself in front of Brother Liu. It's not that I look down on you. You just don't know how ignorant you are!"
Su Xiaobai stepped on the wound on Liu Shaolin's thigh without mercy.
"Ah..." Liu Shaolin moaned. He was about to faint in pain and was sweating profusely.
Qin Ruohan gave Chen Liuhe a strange glance. She was wondering whether he urinated in the Golden Palace at the age of six. It seemed to be something Chen would do. Well, childhood personality really foreshadowed adult personality.
But what the hell was this young man? How old was he? Ordinary young men were unlikely to be as bold as him.
Chen Liuhe's face reddened inevitably. He coughed lightly to mask his embarrassment. He was already thinking about how to deal with Su Xiaobai who tended to shoot from the lip.
"Liuhe, you see... Let's call it a day, ok? It's better not to cause people's lives. It is unnecessary." After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Jianglan said softly. It was true that Liu Shaolin was getting himself killed but he just couldn't bear to see Liu die.
"He wanted to kill me just now." Chen Liuhe said lightly.
Zhao Jianglan smiled bitterly: "He was just trying to be intimidating."
"If it weren't for Su Xiaobai, I might have lost my arms and legs." Chen Liuhe told the truth.
Zhao Jianglan couldn't help laughing bitterly: "Everyone is aware of your competence. I don't believe he is capable of hurting you. From beginning to end, you don't fear him at all and you treat him like a clown."
"That's because I'm strong. Otherwise, I'd die miserably." Chen Liuhe said.
Zhao Jianglan was speechless. If Chen Liuhe was unwilling to let go, then there was nothing more he could do.
"His son has done something wrong. I can understand that he wants to stand up for his son. But now it is he who has done something wrong and you still want me to forgive him. Don't you think you're big bullies?" Chen Liuhe said softly.
Bullies? Hearing the word "bullies", Zhao Jianglan, Zeng Xinhua, and the rest of them almost fainted.
They thought to themselves: "Who is the real bully? Liu Shaolin has been trampled on the ground by you and he was shot. And you rightfully said that others bullied you. How shameless you are!"
"Forget...forget it! Chen Liuhe..." Qin Ruohan gently tugged at the hem of Chen Liuhe's clothes and said: "They have been taught the lesson they deserved, and it's not good to cause people's lives in the clubhouse."
Chen Liuhe got angry and smiled: "I am the victim but you all plead for him one by one. Is this what people say 'moral values are in decline and humanity does not exist anymore?
I have already given him a chance just now, but he doesn't know to cherish it. He has made a great mistake. He must pay the price! " Chen Liuhe concluded. He was not a merciful person. In the face of any enemies, if he could send them to their deaths immediately, he would definitely not spare their lives.
Chen Liuhe's insistence made Zhao Jianglan and Qin Ruohan feel powerless. When Chen Liuhe set his mind to it, he would not be swayed.
At the same time, they also saw Chen Liuhe's outright indifference, which made them respectful and fearful of him.
Liu Shaolin was already shivering with fright. No one knew that it was pain or fear that made his face pale. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
He knew he had offended someone he could not afford to, but he didn't know what he was going to face next.
He never dreamed that being an over-indulgent parent would send him to death!
