"Director Yao, you better think of a way to remedy this..." Mr. Wang kindly reminded him.

He knew very well about Yao Zhihao's actions, that the kid was capable of all sorts of evils. The charges against him were not light, and if a real investigation took place, it was likely that both father and son would end up in prison, whereas Human King Wang Xiaoqiang would at most be detained for a few days and have to pay some medical expenses.

"Remedy? He hit my son, do you expect me to apologize to him?" Perhaps it was because Yao Siwen was used to feeling superior, that compromising was incredibly difficult for him. With an air of defiance, he said, "Captain Wang, you saw it too, just now, he, he also slapped me..."

Mr. Wang did not expect Yao Siwen to be so oblivious to the situation and let out a snort of cold laughter, "How come I saw that you were the one who started the physical altercation? Alright, Director Yao, now that Wang Xiaoqiang has gone to the Public Security Bureau, even if I wanted to help you, I'm afraid it's out of my hands now. You'll have to fend for yourself!"

After Mr. Wang had spoken, he left with a sweep of his sleeves. Two deputy captains also gave Yao Siwen a cold look and walked away.

Yao Siwen stood still, dazed for a while. Sweat kept building up on his forehead, and the wind made him feel cold all over. Shivering, he got back into his car, took out his phone to call his brother-in-law Hu Junbiao. However, before he could dial out, Hu Junbiao's call came in with an urgent voice, "Hello, brother-in-law, I forgot to tell you, at the end of the day, it's Zhihao's fault.

That guy who hit Zhihao may have some background. In my opinion, let's just drop the matter, and you should not pursue it any further!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Yao Siwen shouted furiously and slammed the phone down onto the passenger seat. He wasn't a fool. Despite his apparent unwillingness to concede, the more he thought about it, the more fearful he became. China was unlike abroad; the Public Security Bureau had always been a powerful agency of the government, with vast influence.

Compared to a director of the education bureau, what did he count for? If the Public Security Director wanted to investigate someone, unless that person's slate was clean, what could not be dug up?

Would he really have to go and apologize to him?

Yao Siwen agonized over his options.

While Yao Siwen was wrestling with his thoughts, Wang Xiaoqiang and Jiang Xiaoxin were already sitting in the office of the County Public Security Bureau Director. Tang Guowei himself poured two cups of water and brought them over, setting them in front of the two, "Mr. Wang, it's been a long time since we've seen you. My father has been missing you!"

"To my shame, I promised to visit him, but this past year has been too busy with no time to spare... By the way, how is Old Tang's health lately?"

"Hmm, he's been doing well. Ever since you performed Qigong and administered urgent care for him last time, he hasn't had a flare-up of his illness all year," Tang Guowei said cheerfully.

"By the way, you must come over to the house today, and this is..." Tang Guowei asked, gesturing towards Jiang Xiaoxin.

"Uh, this is my cousin," Wang Xiaoqiang gave Jiang Xiaoxin a kinship title to make it seem closer, "She's attending the county's key high school. The main reason I came to the county town was because of her matter..."

"Ah..." Tang Guowei immediately realized that Wang Xiaoqiang was here on business and promptly said, "If there's anything you need help with, just let me know..."

Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to explain in detail about Yao Zhihao stalking and threatening Jiang Xiaoxin, and his own intervention in beating up Yao Zhihao.

"What, such things are happening at the county's key high school?" After hearing the story, Tang Guowei showed a shocked expression.

Jiang Xiaoxin, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's deep connection with the County Public Security Director, finally felt at ease; her courage also grew, and she took the opportunity to fully expose Yao Zhihao's vile behavior at school, spilling everything to Tang Guowei.

Upon hearing this, Tang Guowei's initial shock turned into a fury. He slammed the desk and began pacing rapidly around the office, visibly enraged. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and asked Wang Xiaoqiang, "That Yao Zhihao, are his injuries severe? Will he end up disabled...?"

"It's just superficial wounds, nothing that will cause disability!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Director Tang, you don't need to worry about these things. It's best to thoroughly investigate the matter, to prevent those students from being bullied by him again."

"Mr. Wang, to rigorously investigate this matter, you'll have to put up with some inconvenience for a few days..."

"I understand," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "At most, I'd be charged with intentional assault, fined, and detained for a few days. I accept that..."

Hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang might be administratively detained and fined, Jiang Xiaoxin began to hesitate, saying, "Brother Qiang, maybe we should just let this go..."

"As long as it can bring down this school tyrant, I'm willing to endure the hardship." Wang Xiaoqiang, staring intently at Jiang Xiaoxin, earnestly continued, "Little Xin, we can't only think of ourselves in life; we must have a sense of social responsibility.

You also need to cooperate well with the police investigation, mobilizing your classmates to come forward and expose Yao Zhihao's criminal acts..."

"Yes! I will!" Inspired by Wang Xiaoqiang's determination, Jiang Xiaoxin immediately nodded in earnest agreement.

"Alright, then I'll go handle it..." After making a decision, Tang Guowei then inquired, "Mr. Wang, is there anything else you need to inform us about?"

"Uh, no, I'm all set. Just that there's a truckload of Chinese yams outside the door; if someone could look after it for a few days, that'd be great!"

"Of course, that's no problem," Tang Guowei replied, and promptly called his sister, Tang Xiaofei, asking her to drive Wang Xiaoqiang's truck back for safekeeping.

Then he gathered his subordinates for an emergency secret meeting, forming a task force to officially investigate Yao Zhihao's actions of forming gangs at school, extorting 'protection' fees from students, beating male students, and coercing female students.

Jiang Xiaoxin cooperated with the police in their investigation.

The news that Yao Zhihao had been beaten at the school entrance had already spread throughout the county's key high school. Teachers and students had been abuzz with discussion.

Now, seeing the Public Security Bureau's investigation team personally visiting the school to investigate Yao Zhihao, it was clear to both the school authorities and the students that he had crossed someone with powerful connections, and it seemed likely he would fall from grace.

Consequently, they started to denounce him, which inevitably brought the issue of Yao Siwen's protection of his son into the light. As the walls came tumbling down, anonymous tips about Yao Siwen's own wrongdoing began pouring in, leading relevant departments to investigate him. Soon the father and son's crimes were confirmed.

Yao Zhihao, not yet fully recovered, received an arrest warrant in the hospital, while Yao Siwen was directly apprehended in handcuffs and taken into the procuratorate for trial. The Yao Family fell from power, and it became inevitable for the father and son to end up in prison.

Because of this incident, Jiang Xiaoxin became the center of attention throughout the entire school and even the whole county education system. The word was that the school beauty, Jiang Xiaoxin, had a boyfriend with extraordinary martial skills and a powerful background; the Yao Family's downfall was due to her boyfriend. The current Jiang Xiaoxin was no longer seen as just a rural schoolgirl.

Despite still being beautiful, no male student dared to express any romantic interest in her, not even daring to think about it. Both teachers and students treated her with a mixture of respect and fear, careful to always give her space and respect, afraid to inadvertently provoke her.

Jiang Xiaoxin's seat was moved from the back right side of the classroom to the central position in the third row. Moreover, she was appointed by the class teacher as the class study committee member and soon became a member of the student council. Not long after, she mysteriously received a substantial scholarship.

Facing these sudden changes, Jiang Xiaoxin felt somewhat unaccustomed, but she also gladly accepted this new reality. It was beneficial for her studies, and the experience had matured her. Wang Xiaoqiang's words sparked her interest in learning even more, and she felt an unprecedented sense of superiority, brimming with pride.

When she remembered that all of this was made possible by Wang Xiaoqiang, her heart swelled with sweetness.
