The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Who allows them to act so recklessly?

That means the kid we just beat up might have a powerful background in the area.

It's also possible that the child is from the local top or second-in-command family.

He even knew to tarnish his reputation as a suspected spy.

If the four of them went with them...

They might just force a confession out of you under torture.

There is no such thing as civilized law enforcement these days.

Especially in these small county towns that are fifth or sixth tier cities.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high.

Imagine if, in a decade or so, a general's son-in-law were beaten to death by thugs at a train station.

One can imagine.

Some people are so arrogant that they don't know their own limitations.

Those who sit in a well and look at the sky think that the sky is above them.

Yang Dalin thought about many things in the blink of an eye.

The other police officers also surrounded him in a semi-circle, with several gun barrels pointed at him.

Yang Dalin spoke up directly: "Wait a minute, officer, are you sure you've got the situation right? Shouldn't you ask what's going on?"

Arresting people right off the bat seems a bit like knowingly breaking the law, doesn't it?

And I ask all other comrades to put down their guns immediately. I have identification, and I have the right to retaliate if anyone dares to point a gun at me.

I'm warning you this time.

This incident occurred in front of the breakfast shop, and passersby nearby watched from a distance.

The shop owner was also hiding behind the counter, whispering something: "These bastards are out here randomly arresting people again."

"Yes, isn't the leader Wang the bully?"

He used to be just a small-time thug in a county town, but by currying favor with the officials, he became a policeman and even a captain.

That bastard has cleaned up Zhang Xiaotian's messes countless times.

"Yeah, that young man seems to be in trouble."

Those watching from afar said the same thing.

The police officers didn't hear it because of the distance.

Yang Dalin could hear it all clearly.

The police officer in the lead is definitely not a good person.

It seems he used to be a gangster boss.

He was called something like "King the Bully," but he later became a policeman and then a captain by currying favor with Zhang Xiaotian's father.

The eyes of the masses are discerning.

No sooner had Yang Dalin finished speaking than the bully Wang laughed and said, "You still have identification and the right to fight back? You've got some nerve."

You've become addicted to playing the spy, haven't you?

Is this another warning to us?

"Go ahead and arrest them."

Seeing that they were oblivious to their own danger, Yang Dalin reached behind his back and shouted again, "Second warning!"

The police ignored Yang Dalin's warnings and immediately surrounded him, intending to handcuff him.

Yang Dalin didn't hesitate.

Those men with guns didn't take Yang Dalin seriously at all.

He was laughing so hard he was almost bent over.

He couldn't even hold the gun steadily.

Yang Dalin immediately took out a pistol from his spatial storage.

They opened fire immediately.

Damn it, you guys were given a chance but you didn't use it.

He didn't check my identification, and he pointed a gun at me directly.

He ignored two warnings.

I'm sorry then.

Without a third warning, this identification gives one the right to shoot in self-defense when one's life is threatened.

Don't even mention that these people aren't good people at all.

Public resentment is considerable.

Yang Dalin fired his gun with lightning speed.

However, he didn't kill him outright.

These people still need to be tried.

Several men with guns all shot him in the wrist.

The guns all fell to the ground.

The few who weren't armed were terrified. Their first instinct was to turn and run, but Yang Dalin fired another shot into the air: "Everyone down! Anyone who moves, I'll shoot them dead."

After saying that, he immediately stepped forward and kicked the guns of several people aside.

Yang Dalin turned around and called out, "San'er, come out and help me search him."

"Sister Yan, you don't need to move around in the shop."

This scene terrified the onlookers and the two breakfast shop owners.

How can this person be so fierce?

How did they manage to shoot all the police officers' guns in the blink of an eye?

Ma San'er heard Yang Dalin's call.

They immediately came out from inside.

Holding a gun, he held the group of people at bay while they searched him.

They searched their bodies and took all their belongings, even stripping off their thick cotton-padded coats and throwing them aside.

Several wrist injuries won't kill him anytime soon.

Moreover, these people deserved to have their wrists broken.

Yang Dalin saw that Ma San'er was quite efficient and finished the work in no time.

Yang Dalin then had the uninjured policemen, who were carrying handcuffs and ropes, tie them all up together.

These guys are all cowards, I'm terrified.

It seems that this small team is all under the control of this bully Wang, and not one of them dares to resist.

There's something fishy going on here.

Many police officers are veterans who have served in wars and transferred to civilian jobs.

With that kind of behavior, how could he be a demobilized soldier?

The leader was still yelling, "You assaulted the police, you have guns, you can't escape, you're all facing the death penalty."

"Release me right now."

Without saying a word, Yang Dalin kicked him unconscious.

Yang Dalin instructed Ma San to hold a gun and watch them.

Yang Dalin ran into the house and said to Sister Yan and the others, "Sister Yan, you all stay here. I'm going to make a few phone calls to contact my superiors."

Then he walked to the counter and asked in a gentle and polite manner, "Comrade, could you tell me where the nearest telephone is?"

The two men witnessed Yang Dalin firing his gun. Seeing that Yang Dalin had put away his gun and was speaking politely, the older one mustered his courage and whispered, "Comrade, who are you people? You'd better run away quickly."

Behind this bully Wang is Director Wang, and behind Director Wang is the highest-ranking official here.

If you don't leave, they'll send even more men soon after you hear the gunfire.

I'm afraid none of you will be able to leave."

Yang Dalin smiled and took out a police ID from his spatial storage. He worked in the intelligence department and had many such IDs.

It's all true.

Yang Dalin flashed his phone and said, "I'm from the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Don't worry, uncle."

We're fine. Just tell me where I can make a phone call nearby.

The uncle didn't know many words, but when he saw the large seal on it, his eyes lit up, and he said directly, "The post office is just over a hundred meters to the north."

Long-distance calls are possible from there.

Yang Dalin thanked him.

He rushed out to make a phone call.

Yang Dalin also has to be wary of others resorting to desperate measures.

Therefore, Yang Dalin planned to strike first to gain the upper hand.

The gunshots from here will soon reach the county public security bureau.

According to that uncle, the bureau chief is also a protector.

We need to be careful then.

Let's not let things go wrong.

Yang Dalin blinked and rushed to the post office.

He immediately showed his police identification.

He said he had urgent official business to attend to.

I asked for a phone number.

To prevent Zhang Xiaotian's people from being among them.

Yang Dalin used the pretext of a secret mission to make them all hide.

Yang Dalin immediately called Director Hou.

He told Director Hou about his encounters with thugs, corrupt police officers, and the connections he later found out.
