Rebirth: My college entrance exam score was stolen? I turned the tables and made a billion.

"The Director of Education?"

The duty room was silent for a full two seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Old Wang picked up the enamel teacup on the table and slammed it heavily onto the solid wood table.

With a loud "clang," the tea in the cup splashed all over the table.

"Chen Jianguo, right?"

Old Wang pointed his finger at Chen Defu's nose and sneered.

"Don't tell me your father is the director of the Education Bureau. Even if you were the Emperor himself, you couldn't twist the truth in our police station lobby!"

"They've tried to stage an accident on the families of our police officers, and they still dare to shout and make a false police report?"

"I think you guys really don't want to be good anymore!"

Old Wang shouted at the top of his lungs into the room in the corridor:

"Old Li! Little Zhang! Get a few pairs of handcuffs out!"

"These three are accused of causing trouble and extortion. Let's handcuff them and bring them to their senses!"

That shout was extremely powerful.

The atmosphere in the hall changed instantly.

The fat man and the thin man following behind Chen Defu were originally trying to hold on because of Chen Defu's background.

Upon hearing the words "handcuffs" and "extortion," the two men's legs immediately began to tremble.

These days, hooliganism is a serious crime.

If you were to be detained for a few days and that would leave a mark on your file, your entire life would be ruined!

The fat man was the first to give in; he suddenly let go of the broken bicycle and stumbled back two steps.

"Officer! This has nothing to do with me!"

The fat man's face trembled with anxiety, and he pointed at Chen Defu and started babbling.

"It's all his fault! He wasn't watching where he was going, and he was just trying to brag to us by letting go of the handlebars, which is why he crashed into us!"

"We were just...we were forced to speak up for him!"

The skinny guy reacted quickly when he saw the fat guy had switched sides, and jumped out right away.

"Yes, yes, yes! Officer, this has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

"Chen Defu kept bragging about how he was about to get into a top-tier university, his eyes practically popping out of his head."

"He hit someone, refused to admit his mistake, and even forced the person to pay him fifty yuan!"

"Neither of us touched that cart at all! We're innocent!"

These two cronies, working together, quickly sold Chen Defu out of everything, leaving him with nothing but his underwear.

Chen Defu stood there, completely dumbfounded.

He turned his head and stared intently at the two lackeys who usually followed him around, eating and drinking for free, trembling with rage.

"You two are fucking..."

Just as Chen Defu was about to start cursing, Old Wang walked over with handcuffs.

The gleaming silver iron ring reflected the light under the incandescent bulb.

As Chen Defu looked at the handcuffs that were about to be put on his wrists, his mind went blank.

He is an extremely shrewd and selfish person.

He's arrogant usually because he has his father backing him up.

But now, they've run into a tough opponent.

They even dared to bring up the son of a county public security bureau leader. His father's title as the director of the education bureau was completely useless in the Chengguan police station.

It's July right now.

The college entrance examination has just ended, and it is the most crucial moment to wait for the results and the admission notice.

If he were really arrested today on charges of "extortion," even if his father, Chen Jianguo, used his connections to get him released tomorrow, his reputation would still be...

Chen Defu's mind worked very quickly.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

As long as it doesn't leave a criminal record and doesn't affect my chances of going to university, what's the big deal about acting like a pushover?

Thinking of this, Chen Defu's face, which had been flushed, instantly fell flat.

He sniffed sharply, his previous arrogance vanishing without a trace, replaced by a pitiful look.

"Officer, I...I was wrong!"

Chen Defu dragged his scraped leg and limped forward a couple of steps, his body hunched over like a shrimp.

"I was just stunned from the fall, my mind wasn't clear."

He raised his hand and pretended to slap himself lightly across the face.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault for not looking where I was going while riding! I crashed into this guy's bike!"

"I was just angry and couldn't bring myself to talk nonsense."

Chen Defu's change of attitude was faster than turning the pages of a book. Just a moment ago he was arrogant and wanted to put people in jail, but now he's even calling them "brothers."

Old Wang stopped, weighed the handcuffs in his hand without saying a word, and turned to look at Zhao Xiaojun.

After all, Zhao Xiaojun is the one who suffered the most, so how this matter is classified depends on what this young master thinks.

Following Lao Wang's gaze, Chen Defu quickly turned his attention to Zhao Xiaojun and Liu Guangming, who had been standing silently in the back.

"Brother, Zhao... Zhao Xiaojun, right?"

Chen Defu smiled ingratiatingly, revealing his teeth.

"Today's events are entirely my fault, like a flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, and we've become like family members who don't recognize each other anymore."

"Look at me, my leg is all bruised, my brand new bicycle is totaled, and I'm being punished for it."

As he spoke, Chen Defu quickly reached into his pocket and rummaged around.

He took out a wallet with a faux leather texture, opened it, and pulled out a stack of brand-new banknotes.

One-yuan notes, five-yuan notes, and three large unity notes.

"Brothers, if your cart gets scratched or damaged, I'll pay for it!"

"I'll pay for the repairs! If they can't be fixed, I'll buy you a new one!"

"How about we make peace? Let's consider it a friendly reconciliation. If we bump into each other in town next time, I'll treat you both to a meal!"

It has to be said that Chen Defu is a real slippery eel, impossible to catch.

This combo allows for flexibility and adaptability.

As long as the money is paid out and the two parties can reach a settlement, the police station will have no reason to arrest him for extortion.

At most, it's just a traffic accident settled privately.

Liu Guangming stood beside the cart, quietly watching Chen Defu's groveling and begging face.

He was born twice.

In my past life, this was the same face that, after taking over my life, sat high and mighty behind a desk, pointing at me, who had spent my whole life struggling at the bottom, and spouting nonsense.

Now, the thief is begging for mercy, groveling with money in an obsequious manner, just to save his future.

Liu Guangming remained silent.

Zhao Xiaojun, who was standing next to him, disagreed.

He grew up hanging out with his father in the police station's family compound, and what he hated most were spineless cowards who talked nonsense.

"Bullshit!"

Zhao Xiaojun slapped away the money Chen Defu handed him.

"Who the hell wants to be your brother? Who the hell wants to be your friend?!"

Zhao Xiaojun pointed to the pile of broken copper and scrap iron on the ground.

"When you blocked our way on the street and tried to extort fifty yuan from us, why didn't you think about settling things?"

"Now that we're at the police station, and you see my dad's in the bureau, you're starting to chicken out?"

Zhao Xiaojun became increasingly disdainful as he spoke, sizing up Chen Defu from head to toe.

"With your pathetic appearance, you call yourself a college student?"

"Pah!"

Zhao Xiaojun spat angrily, "Weren't you just bragging on the street that you were guaranteed to get into a top-tier university?"

"They really know how to pat themselves on the back."

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You can't even ride a bicycle properly, how did you manage to get into university?"

Zhao Xiaojun slapped Liu Guangming on the shoulder, raising his chin high.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

"My brother Guangming is the real deal, a genuine and qualified prospective college student!"

"Compared to a spoiled brat like you who relies on his father's connections, you're not even worthy of carrying Brother Guangming's shoes!"

These words were extremely harsh.

Chen Defu was sprayed with spittle all over his face, but he didn't dare to utter a sound and could only awkwardly smile.

But when he heard the words "prospective college student," he glanced at Liu Guangming twice, clearly showing some disdain in his heart.

How could a country bumpkin dressed in rags, pulling a cart to sell watermelons in the middle of the night, possibly get into a top university?

He would never believe it, not even if you beat him to death.

But now is not the time to take this seriously.

"Yes, yes, you two are both top students. I'm just bragging and showing off."

Chen Defu continued to play the submissive role, handing the money in his hand forward again.

"Brother Xiaojun, we're both about to go to college. If we get a criminal record for something this trivial, it could ruin our lives."

"You're too magnanimous to hold a grudge. Here's the sixty yuan; let's call it even, okay?"

Zhao Xiaojun didn't respond at all and turned to look at Liu Guangming.

"Brother Guangming, this bastard is trying to turn the tables and settle things. I don't think he'll succeed!"

"Where did that arrogance go? He won't learn his lesson unless he's in jail for three to five days!"

What do you think?
