Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

A dark-colored Audi A6 turned into the courtyard of the Jiefang Road Police Station.

The parking lot's overall quality immediately improved.

Yang Jinjuan and Song Zhiming walked in and immediately spotted their eldest son, Tang Yisheng, with a bruised and swollen face.

At that time, Tang Yisheng was sitting in a recliner, with large red slogans in misaligned rows on the wall above his head.

Next to him, Wang Lingqiang, the same chubby version of Wang Liqiang, was giving a passionate lecture to his chubby son, Wang Liqiang.

Besides the broken phone antenna, the fact that the fat man took the phone without asking, causing his father to be nagged by his wife for a whole morning, also played a significant role.

In short, the chubby boy was used as a punching bag by the fat boy, and if they hadn't been at the police station, he would have been slapped across the face long ago.

Tang Yisheng tried to persuade him, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to give up and watch helplessly as the fat man was scolded so badly that he almost lost his sense of seniority.

This doesn't look like a son at all; he looks more like a grandson.

Just then, Yang Jinjuan burst in.

"Son, does it hurt? What happened to you?"

"mom."

Tang Yisheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not address Song Zhiming by name.

As for how to address someone, calling them "uncle" is not quite appropriate.

After all, they took time out of their busy schedules to come here for their own business, and there were even police officers from the local police station coming out to greet them.

Tang Yisheng's silence was better than his words, as it saved Song Zhiming from embarrassment.

Wang Lingqiang temporarily put his son aside and quickly changed his expression to greet Yang Jinjuan with a smile.

It's not necessarily a bad thing for two children to fall into misfortune together; it can be a way to bond.

Song Zhiming nodded slightly to Wang Lingqiang, leaving the place to his wife Yang Jinjuan to handle things, while he headed to a higher-level battlefield, preparing to solve the problem in a more streamlined way.

"How did you get like this? What were you two doing?"

"Sister Junying participated in a singing competition, and the two of us were in the audience. When we went outside, we ran into a group of people who insisted on asking us for money. When we didn't give them any, they surrounded us and started beating us..."

Song Zhiming paused as he turned into the office, glancing sideways at the entrance hall.

Yang Jinjuan glared fiercely at Tang Yisheng.

She runs a children's clothing wholesale business in Luokou. Over the years, she has heard of all sorts of people from all walks of life.

Even if it were just petty thugs demanding money, they wouldn't go so far as to kill two students.

However, Yang Jinjuan did not make it clear in front of others, especially at the police station.

"Auntie, it's true. Those thugs must have been instigated by Cui Rui. I even saw him pointing at us."

"What, is this about the Cui family's children?"

Yang Jinjuan frowned.

The Cui family were my neighbors before my divorce. Although we didn't get along very well, we weren't enemies either.

Why did the two families' children have such a big conflict?

"The one who ganged up on Yisheng at school last time was also Cui Rui."

The fat man, not one to back down, continued to spout off.

Of course, the coherence of this viewpoint and the intricacy of the rhetoric were all things that Tang Yisheng had specifically taught me beforehand.

Aside from being a bit clumsy when it comes to relationships, the fat guy is actually quite smart in other aspects, and he's learned pretty much everything.

"Aren't you and Cui Rui in the same class? Did you cause trouble and get Xiao Tang involved, huh?"

Wang Lingqiang was a cooked food vendor, so he had at least some respect for Yang Jinjuan after she climbed the social ladder.

It's just that the respect was a bit excessive, bordering on obsequious.

They even use their son as a tool.

"Dad, really not."

"Uncle Wang, this has nothing to do with Fatty. It's a guy named Duan Xueyou who's bullying us. Cui Rui was just helping to identify him. I guess it's because I kicked him last time that he deliberately sent someone to rob us this time."

"How about we get together with Lao Cui and the others sometime? I'll treat. The kids are all in their second year of high school now, next year is crucial, let's not let these things affect their studies, okay?"

Wang Lingqiang looked at Yang Jinjuan and made a suggestion.

Tang Yisheng involuntarily raised an eyebrow.

Speaking of which, Fatty's father was a very honest man; even the excuses he used to build rapport were so straightforward.

The turns are a bit sharp, but there's really no need for them.

"Once the kids are on summer vacation, let's get together sometime. I recently got a job at a counter, and if the phone call hadn't been so scareful, I wouldn't have come."

Yang Jinjuan used to run a children's clothing wholesale business at the Luokou Wholesale Market. Now that she and Song Zhiming are a couple, they have more resources and channels, and have opened several stores in the past two years.

I recently set up two counters at the Ginza Central Plaza store, and the business trip was to discuss becoming an agent for a certain brand.

"Sister Yang's business is booming..."

Wang Lingqiang sighed with envy.

The two adults then started talking about each other, and the matter of the child was temporarily put aside.

Shortly afterward, Yang Jinjuan and Wang Lingqiang were also called into the office inside.

It is estimated that Song Zhiming made a decision and a plan after communicating with Wang Min's uncle, which is why he called Wang Lingqiang in.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Yisheng pulled the fat man away, and the two ran to the yard to squat in a shady corner and count ants.

The adult world is complicated and diverse, too mentally and physically exhausting. Tang Yisheng was too lazy to get involved and didn't want the fat man to know too early.

A short while later, a maroon New Continent 125 scooter carrying two people arrived at the police station yard.

The person riding the scooter was Mr. Hu, the second-grade academic affairs director of the school, who is also Duan Xueyou's uncle.

The person riding behind him was a woman of similar age.

The fat man was squatting at a better angle, and he was the first one to see him.

However, the fat man was simple-minded and not clever at all in this regard, and he never thought of reminding Tang Yisheng.

When Tang Yisheng looked over, he only saw the backs of two people.

It wasn't until Wang Min gathered around that Tang Yisheng learned that Zhang Kai's parents had been brought there by Director Hu on a motorcycle.

"Are Director Hu and Duan Xueyou related? Is that true?"

The fat man didn't quite agree with Wang Min's deduction.

"It's probably true, but we're not sure if it's a direct relative or a cousin."

Tang Yisheng affirmed.

"One of them is surnamed Hu, and the other is surnamed Duan..."

The fat man muttered suspiciously.

"Is my maternal uncle no good?"

Tang Yisheng was too lazy to even roll his eyes.

It's enough that I have to go through so much trouble to remind myself of such common sense issues.

The IQ gap is too large, and the desire to speak has also decreased.

Even if you show off, you won't really feel anything.

"That's one line of reasoning, but why does it have to be an uncle or cousin?"

Wang Min's meticulous mind was once again aroused, and she decided to get to the bottom of things.

Tang Yisheng was too lazy to reply. He pursed his lips and turned to look at the right rear, where Director Hu's scooter was parked. Surprisingly, the license plate number was quite auspicious.

As for helping Fatty sort things out and answering Wang Min's questions...

I'm exhausted, I'll just give up.

Unable to get a reply from Tang Yisheng, Wang Min started a new game.

She used a twig to poke ants at the fat man's instep, which aroused his playful nature, and he immediately forgot to continue arguing with Tang Yisheng.

The two started fooling around, and soon they were both in high spirits.

Tang Yisheng felt he didn't even have enough breath left to sigh.

Time flies, and another half hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Yisheng saw several other groups of parents arriving one after another, and then he rushed into the office building and never returned.

Out of curiosity, he encouraged Wang Min to go in and investigate. After two trips, Wang Min was placed under strict house arrest.

What's infuriating is that the little girl not only didn't feel guilty for not helping Tang Yisheng, but actually blamed him for delaying her trip to her grandma's house to pet the cat.

The fat man then started asking about the details of raising and petting cats, and the two of them began to chat endlessly once again.

One is none of my business, and the other is none of my business.

Tang Yisheng was utterly speechless.

Those heartless, incompetent teammates act like nothing's wrong.

Since we can't carry it away, let's just destroy it.
