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

As expected, Yang Dalin was right.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and several people saw police officers in uniforms being shot and wounded.

For some reason, they went and called other police officers.

However, they did not dare to approach directly.

They're probably waiting for reinforcements.

After all, other police officers on duty generally do not carry guns.

They wouldn't easily advance if they didn't have weapons in their hands.

We need to figure out what's going on first.

And not long after that.

Sure enough, a policeman in his forties appeared at the intersection ahead, accompanied by more than twenty men carrying long guns.

It's about 200 meters away from this little shop.

However, Yang Dalin knew they were coming from afar.

He also heard someone call him Director Wang.

So this is the backer of that bully Wang from earlier?

Yang Dalin was unaware that he had hung up on Director Hou not long ago.

The local top leader and second-in-command quickly received a phone call: "The province is coming to the city to inspect our work. Leaders of all counties must attend the meeting immediately. Put down your work and take a few of your county deputies to the city for the meeting right away."

No delays are allowed; upon receiving the notification, you must depart immediately.

So they had no idea what was happening at the shop.

After Director Wang learned about the vicious attack on the police at the small shop, because he had sent Zhang Xiaotian to carry it out, he called Zhang Xiaotian's father, the top official in the county.

No one answered the phone.

He had no choice but to bring his men over to take a look first.

He's the head of the Public Security Bureau; he can't afford not to get involved in this.

Yang Dalin saw that Director Wang was about 100 meters away, which was a bit far.

Yang Dalin was too lazy to shout anything.

Fire a warning shot.

It shot directly at their feet.

The group was so frightened that they immediately hid next to other houses.

Some of his movements were quite nimble, suggesting he had practiced.

Others wanted to approach from other places.

Yang Dalin fired another shot.

I warned them that I was watching them, and they shouldn't move around; they should just stay where they were.

It will take time for the public security forces to arrive.

They are usually stationed in the suburbs or outside the city.

Because they need a training facility.

So it might take a while for them to get here.

Without the local Public Security Bureau Chief Wang and his team, things would be much faster.

Yang Dalin can afford to wait.

Generally, each county town has a public security military unit stationed there.

In the future, it will be divided into companies and brigades. Now it is estimated that one company is one county town.

There's no need to bring in people from the city.

Otherwise, we'll have to wait a long time.

Although it's not very far from the city, it still takes at least one or two hours to drive here on this road.

If this were a mountainous city, it might take even longer.

For example, in the third year of the pandemic, Yang Dalin visited a county in Hunan Province.

It takes three to four hours to drive from the county town to the city.

It's still the road of the 21st century.

It's easy to imagine how difficult the roads are there.

There are many mountain roads, many bends, many tunnels, and many detours, so the speed is not high.

It took even longer.

As Yang Dalin waited, he got bored and lit a cigarette, but he remained vigilant about his surroundings.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang was still persistent.

They really think they're acting like spies.

He picked up a megaphone and hid where he couldn't shoot at himself, shouting at himself.

It also allowed those several skilled individuals who had tried to climb onto nearby rooftops to shoot him in the back.

Damn it, you have no martial ethics, huh?

Go to hell.

Yang Dalin didn't know the specifics of these skilled police officers and didn't want to injure them.

What if they were misled and only fired on orders from their superiors?

It would be a shame if I had injured them myself.

The main problem is that they can't hit Yang Dalin, otherwise Yang Dalin would have injured them long ago.

So Yang Dalin simply prevented them from climbing onto the roof.

Even if someone climbs up from another direction, Yang Dalin can fire his gun to suppress their upward movement, preventing them from firing at all.

As for Director Wang's loudspeaker, Yang Dalin shot it and destroyed it.

Yang Dalin then shouted to the few skilled people who were hiding: "Comrades on the rooftops all around, I am a public security officer from Beijing who is visiting his family."

A major in the military is a rank one level higher than your bureau chief when you return to civilian life.

I order you to lay down your guns, return to the ground, and await further orders.

Local public security and military personnel will come to take over this matter shortly.

They will also verify my identity.

I hope you will stop obeying the orders of your damn Director Wang.

He wanted to persecute his superiors.

I hope you won't make a mistake for yourselves.

Yang Dalin was right; his rank was indeed that of a major.

Back in the local area, the corresponding level is section chief.

However, nowadays, demobilized soldiers are promoted one rank, which is different from later generations.

In later generations, the arrangement was downgraded; now it's upgraded.

Or a lateral transfer.

Moreover, the head of a county-level public security bureau is only at the level of a section chief.

Therefore, Yang Dalin is indeed one level higher than that damn bureau chief.

The several skilled police officers around them, who were clearly recent demobilized officers, understood the situation.

Moreover, Yang Dalin deliberately missed when he fired his warning shots at them.

They can still sense it.

Otherwise, several people would have been killed or injured long ago.

They certainly wouldn't do something foolish.

They had only been away from the military for a short time, but they still knew about Director Wang's infamous reputation.

So the smart one kept quiet and didn't go down to the ground.

He threw the gun aside, neither firing nor responding.

Director Wang below shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he's a spy, shoot him dead right now!"

Yang Dalin, of course, didn't give him a chance to continue barking.

They fired directly and repeatedly at the spot where he was yelling.

Although the gun couldn't hit him, his shouts couldn't be heard anywhere else.

Moreover, Yang Dalin also saw that a convoy of public security troops was approaching in the distance.

A jeep led the way, followed by two military trucks.

They heard gunshots and stopped their car a long way off.

A group of soldiers immediately took up advantageous positions.

His agile physique was far superior to that of most of Director Wang's subordinates.

Yang Dalin saw one of their captains get out of the car.

Hiding behind the car.

Yang Dalin stopped firing.

When the gunfire stopped, the officer behind the car shouted, "Who is Comrade Yang Dalin? I am here to support and protect you on orders from my superiors."

I will obey your orders.

Li Weiguo, a captain and company commander of the Public Security Army stationed in Junxian County.

Yang Dalin shouted to him, "Company Commander Li, this is Yang Dalin. I'm on the second floor rooftop next to the breakfast shop."

I'll throw the documents downstairs in a bit, and you can send someone over to check them.

I also ordered that the onlookers be driven away.

Yang Dalin threw the police officer's identification document onto the road below.

Li Weiguo was very bold; he led two men directly to the foot of the small building.

Instead of sending his soldiers, he sent two soldiers who came with him, who were warily pointing their guns at the rooftop.

Li Weiguo picked up the document and examined it carefully.

I saw that the documents were genuine.

However, we haven't seen Yang Dalin's face yet.
