Hu Junbiao had called his brother-in-law, Yao Siwen, as soon as Yao Zhihao was taken to the hospital.
The Yao family had been passing on the lineage solely through males for five generations, and Yao Siwen had only his son, Yao Zhihao. He inevitably spoiled him excessively, holding him in his palms, afraid that he would fall, keeping him in his mouth, fearful that he would melt. However, today his treasured son was actually beaten severely at the school gate.
What was even more infuriating was that Yao Zhihao's private parts, the means through which the Yao family lineage was to be continued, was swollen red after being severely squeezed. Fortunately, it had not resulted in a disability, yet Yao Siwen was uncontrollably furious, hurrying to the hospital.
After a glance at his son, unable to contain his rage, Yao Siwen immediately headed for the Public Security Brigade. He wanted to see for himself who dared to beat his son like that on the street.
As soon as Yao Siwen got out of the car, he spotted the captain of the Public Security Brigade, Wang Chao, and walked straight toward him. Captain Wang, feeling uneasy, saw Yao Siwen approaching and quickly stepped forward to meet him, pretending to be clueless, "Director Yao, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"
Yao Siwen didn't believe Wang Chao was entirely uninformed. Ignoring Wang Chao's greeting, he asked sternly with a darkened face, "Captain Wang, who exactly beat my son like that?"
On hearing Yao Siwen's question, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately suspected he was Yao Zhihao's father, so he pointed at Yao Siwen and asked Jiang Xiaoxin, "Little Xin, do you recognize that man?"
"He is Yao Zhihao's father, Yao Siwen, the deputy director of the education bureau, who often comes to inspect our school..." Jiang Xiaoxin replied.
Previously when Yao Zhihao had beaten someone, Yao Siwen would come to plea with a smiling face and treatings. Now that Yao Zhihao was beaten, Yao Siwen was ready to turn hostile at once. Captain Wang never expected Yao Siwen to have such a demeanor and couldn't help feeling angry, yet he still politely said, "Director Yao, please calm down, let me explain slowly..."
If Yao Siwen were to take issue with Wang Xiaoqiang, it would be the Yao family that would suffer the greatest loss in the end. However, if they were to thoroughly investigate Yao Zhihao, it wouldn't look good for him as the captain of the Public Security Brigade either.
So he grabbed Yao Siwen's hand, hoping to pull him aside and explain the pros and cons, but unexpectedly, Yao Siwen shook off Wang Chao's hand, irritated, "What explanation? I want to know now who beat my son."
"I was the one who beat him!" Originally, Wang Xiaoqiang did not want to trouble himself or make things difficult for Captain Wang, so he had not pursued the matter further. However, seeing the pompous Yao Siwen aggressively questioning a captain of the Public Security Brigade, Wang Xiaoqiang's anger rose. He changed his mind, deciding to severely punish Yao Zhihao, the spoiled scion.
The words of Wang Xiaoqiang caused both Captain Wang and Yao Siwen to stiffen. Captain Wang sighed dejectedly and let go of Yao Siwen's hand, while Yao Siwen, shocked and angry, looked toward Wang Xiaoqiang and approached him, "You've got some nerve! To commit violence in broad daylight at the school gate, do you even know who you've beaten?"
Under the influence of his fury, Yao Siwen abandoned all pretense of civility and cursed directly at Wang Xiaoqiang. From Wang Xiaoqiang's attire and demeanor, he could tell that Wang Xiaoqiang was unlikely to be someone with significant backing.
"I beat a school bully, a beast!" Seeing Yao Siwen curse, Wang Xiaoqiang naturally didn't hold back, labeling Yao Zhihao as a beast, which was essentially the same as calling Yao Siwen a beast.
As the saying goes, "Like father, like son," if Yao Zhihao had turned out this way, it was clear Yao Siwen was no saint either. The director of the County Education Bureau, old and sick, had been unable to perform his duties in recent years.
All affairs of the bureau had been handed over to Yao Siwen, who took advantage of his position to take bribes and enforce unspoken rules among the female teachers underneath him. Behind his back, he was cursed as the hypocritical degenerate, but he had never been directly cursed to his face like this.
Enraged and with smoke seeming to billow from his seven orifices, he lost control and charged at Wang Xiaoqiang, intending to slap him hard.
The conflict in the courtyard had already caught the attention of the public security officers, but since the captain was present, no one dared to intervene. They just stood watching from a distance. Now, seeing the situation escalate to violence, two deputy captains hurried over.
Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at Yao Siwen, who was charging at him, "Don't mess around, or you'll regret it!"
Yao Siwen was not willing to listen and, upon reaching Wang Xiaoqiang, swung a slap toward his face.
Wang Xiaoqiang, naturally unwilling to be struck, blocked his hand and raised his other hand to fiercely slap him across the face.
Smack!
A loud and crisp slap sent Yao Siwen reeling, and when Wang Chao saw this, he felt anxious yet simultaneously exhilarated. Seeing his two subordinates rush over timely, he instructed them to pull the two apart.
One of the deputy captains grabbed hold of Yao Siwen to prevent him from hitting Wang Xiaoqiang again, while the other deputy captain extended his hand in front of Wang Xiaoqiang to block any further strikes.
Yao Siwen had once slapped a subordinate, feeling quite elated at the time. Now that he had been slapped, and it was the first time in his life being slapped at that, he was incredibly frustrated. It felt like a surge of blood was welling up inside of him, with anger caught in his throat unable to be released.
His face turned ashen with rage, yet five clear red fingerprints emerged on his pale complexion.
Yao Siwen, looking to counterattack and struggling to break free while being held back, cursed, "Let go of me, see if I don't beat him to death!"
"We'll see who beats whom to death!" Wang Xiaoqiang saw Yao Siwen's arrogant behavior after being slapped and immediately grabbed Jiang Xiaoxin's hand, saying, "Let's go, to the Public Security Bureau!"
Wang Xiaoqiang's words stunned everyone. Yao Siwen couldn't believe Wang Xiaoqiang would actually do it and immediately pointed at him, shouting to Wang Chao, "Captain Wang, he's trying to escape, catch him..."
Wang Chao hurried over to Wang Xiaoqiang, pleading carefully, "Mr. Wang, let's forget it, give me face..."
Yao Siwen, losing his rationality to anger, heard Wang Chao suggesting to let it go and immediately yelled, "What nonsense are you talking, Captain Wang? How could we let this go? I'll never let this rest, I want him behind bars..."
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't respond to the cursing but spread his hands to Captain Wang and said, "You saw it, Captain Wang, I give you face, but someone here won't let it go. If that's the case, I'll see it through to the end with him..."
After saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang, without any hesitation, pulled Jiang Xiaoxin onto the small truck and drove away.
Wang Chao didn't stop Wang Xiaoqiang. Since Wang Chao didn't stop him, the other police officers naturally didn't dare to. They watched helplessly as Wang Xiaoqiang's truck left the Public Security Brigade. Wang Chao sighed heavily.
Yao Siwen was still struggling against the deputy captain, questioning loudly and angrily, "Captain Wang, why didn't you stop him? You just let him go? I get it, is it because he has a connection with you, are you abusing your power for personal gain?"
Wang Chao walked up to Yao Siwen, patted his shoulder with disdain, and said, "Buddy, wake up. He has no connection with me, but he's connected to the County Public Security Director!"
"Uh..." Yao Siwen was taken aback, and after a brief moment of disbelief, he still said, "So what if he's connected with the County Public Security Director? He hit my son, and I demand an explanation. Assaulting a student at the school gates in broad daylight, is there no law left?!"
"Buddy, why don't you ask your son why he was hit?" The scorn in Wang Chao's eyes turned to contempt. If Wang Xiaoqiang were to take this seriously, based on the past mistakes of Yao Zhihao alone, he would definitely be held criminally responsible, and Yao Siwen would be affected as well, likely unable to hold onto his deputy director position at the County Education Bureau.
Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Yao Siwen was startled. Hu Junbiao didn't explain the reason when he called. His son was seriously injured outside the school gates during the day, and he had been too blinded by anger to ask for details. In his view, regardless of the reasons, regardless of who was wrong or right, since his son was hit, he was determined to exact revenge.
But now that he heard what Wang Chao said, he began to fear.
