Chapter 942 Messing With Wei Wei
“So what more do you want?” The voice of the auxiliary police officer grew even louder, “It's just a small matter, why must the elderly suffer along?”
The middle-aged man did not speak, but his hands were clenched into fists. Only he himself knew how wronged he was feeling in his heart.
He originally came to spend money and enjoy himself, who knew that he would be bullied to this extent.
The faces of the few locals were painted with pride. They looked down on the middle-aged man and then glanced in the direction of Baili Jia Jue as if trying to say, I will deal with you after I'm done with him.
The auxiliary police officer saw that the middle-aged man remained silent, so his att.i.tude softened. He reached out and patted his shoulder, “All right, all right. All of you can go now. Oh! Have fun in Li City, you will never get to see such a beautiful landscape no matter how much money you spend.”
After hearing those words, layers of coldness surfaced in Helian Wei Wei's eyes.
Little Qingchen knew that it was a precursor to her anger.
Sure enough, a second later, Helian Wei Wei spoke, “Excuse me, can't you see the injury on this man's face? According to Act 384 of the Criminal Law, anyone who intentionally harms the body of another person shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, together with detention or under supervision. In this matter, it is quite clear who the victim and the a.s.sailant are, these few…” Saying this, Helian Wei Wei reached out and pointed at the leader, “Since he was the one who made a move first, bringing harm to others, shouldn't he be interrogated instead?”
“You little…” When the male leader saw Helian Wei Wei pointing at himself, he immediately became enraged. The anger that he was holding inside of him all along suddenly erupted as he swung his hand across the air, throwing a punch at Helian Wei Wei.
This time, without waiting for Baili Jia Jue to help her out, Helian Wei Wei grabbed the man's wrist directly, putting great force on her fingers.
The man called out in unbearable pain, “Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go of your hand!”
Whack!
Before the man could finish speaking, Helian Wei Wei gave him a kick. Her movements were elegant and precise, with a speed so fast that he did not stand a chance to even respond as he flew half a meter away!
The auxiliary police officers started to feel annoyed and pointed at Helian Wei Wei with their stun batons, “You…”
“Justifiable self-defense.” With just a few words, Helian Wei Wei managed to shut their mouths, “What? If you want to arrest me, that's fine too. I am in the position to report you to law enforcement, not only are you all not helping the victims, but you are encouraging the act of bullying and hooliganism. I believe that a lawyer's license will be useful no matter where I am, what do you say?”
All the auxiliary police officers were aware of a lawyer's work, so no one would want to mess with a lawyer.
Lawyers were not the same as commoners because they understood the law too well. If the matter escalated out of their hands, it was not good for them at all.
Even if they were young and vigorous, the auxiliary police officers could sense that something was not right. Unlike before, where they would arrest anyone under any circ.u.mstances, this time they simply exchanged glances and tried to gloss over the matter, “Lady, after all, whatever that happened today wasn't much of a big deal. There's no need for you to magnify the issue. Everyone just takes a step back and I'll ask these people to apologize to you.”
“He really should apologize, not to me, but to the whole family of this man.” Helian Wei Wei's voice was quite weak, but it was with an intolerable sense of oppression.
The auxiliary police officers weighed the pros and cons, looked at the male leader and reprimanded them, “Apologize quickly and get things over with.”
The male leader also understood the meaning behind the auxiliary police officers' words. If a lawyer intervened in this matter, it would really be difficult to fiddle with. In any case, Li City was their turf. Today he would apologize and hold on until tomorrow. When there was no one around, he would cover the heads of these people and beat them up. It would be very unlikely for them to know who was behind it.
With this scheme in his heart, he laughed and started addressing the battered middle-aged man as his brother, “Brother, none of us wants to cause a big scene. What happened this time is my fault. I couldn't hold back my anger. Think about it, buying jade has the same concept as eating. It clearly has a marked price, and you bought it willingly. How can you decide that you don't want the food anymore when you have already bought it, and is now sitting at the bottom of your stomach? I am not the seller of this jade, right? How could I return this? Look, you came out to have some fun, so don't you just want to be happy? Don't let your aged mother, wife and daughter suffer with you.”
This statement sounded like an apology, but in fact, any civilized person would know the need to take into account all aspects when doing something.
After all, the middle-aged man was unfamiliar with Li City. If he did not come across a lawyer, the auxiliary police officer would only brush things off, let alone getting him an apology.
If he insisted on getting justice, there was a high chance that he might get retribution in the end instead.
Just like what the other person had said, he would never allow them to leave Li City.
It was fine if this was only on him, but he had a wife, a daughter, and a mother. If they were injured and dragged around just like how he was, there was really nothing he could do. Let this time be a lesson learned from recklessly spending.
The middle-aged man was unwilling to agree to reconciliation, but every matter must have its end.
However, it was clear that those people had shifted their focus on Helian Wei Wei and the others.
By the side, a high school student and an old woman who was buying fruits saw this. They whispered to Helian Wei Wei and the others that it was best for them to leave as soon as possible. It was even better if they could leave on that very day while they still could. Otherwise, by the next day, the auxiliary police officers would be gone and this group of people would have no scruples. They would definitely trouble them by then.
The two were also locals, but the difference between them was obvious.
Helian Wei Wei was fond of the ancient Li City very much as it gave people a sense of comfort. Some of the children and elderlies were also very warm, sincere and honest.
However, there were some indemnities that just could not be ignored.
Perhaps, this might just be a breakthrough.
As she was carefully connecting all the information together in her head, Helian Wei Wei's eyes glowed as if she had gotten the answer.
The middle-aged man walked over and his whole family thanked Helian Wei Wei sincerely, “Thank you all so much for just now. If it wasn't for you guys lending a hand, I really don't know what the consequences would have been.”
Helian Wei Wei shrugged it off with a wave of her hand, followed with a smile, “But what actually went down back there, what was the reason behind the fighting? Do you mind telling me? Does that person sell jades?”
“No, he does not sell jades.” The middle-aged man burst into laughter, “They are more deceptive than the people who sell jades. Without any doubt, they are just like vampires…”
