– Nighttime –
Xu Cheng wasn't driving a motorcycle tonight and was driving a patrol car instead. It was probably because the instructor was worried that he might be ambushed from all sides, so he decided to drive a patrol car for him.
Less than half an hour into his patrol, he heard a cry of pain from a colleague over the pager, "Old Wang got beaten up."
"Where?"
"North Gate," someone said.
Xu Cheng immediately turned around and sped over.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw a few patrol motorcycles parked on the side of the road, and three of his colleagues were helping a colleague with blood all over his head.
"Let's go to the hospital first." Hurry. "Xu Cheng helped him into the car, and then they drove to the nearest hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Old Wang's entire head and body were bandaged up.
The doctor said to Xu Cheng, "There are multiple fractures on his body, and his spine might need to stay in the hospital for a while. His injuries are quite serious."
Xu Cheng frowned and asked another colleague who was patrolling with Old Wang, "What happened?"
That colleague was also confused. "I don't know either. I just saw two women arguing, and Old Wang went over to calm them down. Who knew that a bunch of people would run out from the alley and say that Old Wang molested their girlfriends, and then they started beating him up. I called my colleagues who were patrolling the other areas and ran over, and they finally dispersed."
"They're really out of control!" Xu Cheng gritted his teeth.
At this moment, a colleague hesitated and said, "I think this might have something to do with you, Big Brother Cheng."
Xu Cheng looked at him curiously.
"Old Wang was driving the motorcycle you've been driving for the past few days." The colleague still said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
He didn't think too much about it, it was probably because of Xu Cheng.
"These b * stards."
Xu Cheng angrily pushed open the door and asked Old Wang, "Did you see who did it?"
Old Wang's entire head was bandaged up, and he looked up at Xu Cheng and said, "Big Brother Cheng, let's forget about this. Whether or not they came for you, they already beat them up, and I'll accept it. If they don't come looking for you in the future, I will take the blame for you. "
In fact, he also knew that there must be a reason why he was beaten up by West Gate's people for no reason. Before they left, he heard those people say, "Remember, don't offend people for no reason."
According to Lao Wang's usual low-key temperament, he knew that this group of people must have gotten the wrong target. That was because he rarely offended people.
Xu Cheng didn't say anything, but the arrogance of a soldier in his heart wouldn't let this go.
"Are they from North Gate?" Xu Cheng asked.
Old Wang didn't say anything. He just looked at Xu Cheng and saw the determination on his face. He nodded silently. "If the four gates could die, they would've died a long time ago. Your power is too small. You can't beat them."
"I won't offend them if I can't win, but that doesn't mean I can let them bully me." Xu Cheng snorted and said, "Just wait, I can't just let this go."
After that, he walked out. The doctor was waiting outside for them to pay the medical bill.
"Which one of you can pay?"
"I'll pay." Xu Cheng took out his wallet and paid the bill. After all, he was involved in this incident, and the injuries were not only unfair to Old Wang, but it also cost a lot of money. With his salary, it was like trying to put out a cart of firewood.
Xu Cheng took out his patrol car keys and got in. Then, he called Ran Jing and asked, "Do you know where North Gate's headquarters is?"
Ran Jing was a bit surprised that Xu Cheng would ask this, and she was afraid that he would do something stupid. "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just tell me," Xu Cheng said.
Ran Jing noticed that his tone was a bit cold, so she paused and said, "The nightclubs in the North Development Zone are all from North Gate. Out of the four Gates, they're the only one that's still surviving on their own. "
"Okay, thanks. I got it. " Xu Cheng was about to hang up, but Ran Jing immediately added, "It's past 11, don't go."
Xu Cheng: "Why?"
Ran Jing: "Have you heard of the Old Street District? It's right at North Gate, a bunch of buildings that have been preserved in the retro style of the past. The people in that area are especially tough, and North Gate took root there. Although they're on the decline now, that area has always been the most chaotic place in Shangcheng. Under normal circumstances, it's best for the police not to go there and interfere. The government there more or less turns a blind eye, because most of the people living there are former locals. You know, the locals are like the local tyrants. "
Xu Cheng was speechless. "I'm also a local, why do I feel like I'm too noble compared to them? Okay, I got it. I'm just going to find a few people to ask some questions. "
After that, Xu Cheng hung up the phone. He was still driving towards the neon-lit neighborhood of West Gate's Old City.
The so-called Old City was basically a bunch of holdouts that didn't comply with the government's construction policies. It could be said that there were too many problem kids in this area that gave every real estate developer a headache. There were already a few real estate developers that tried to take over this area, but the people from North Gate were like dog skin plaster, biting on whoever they saw. None of the projects were successful, and the real estate developers all backed out.
Most of the old people here came from North Gate. Because North Gate was doing the worst, they wanted to use the terrain here to expand their real estate business. However, the government already supported South Gate, so why would they support North Gate? So, a lot of the old people from North Gate stayed here, and once they touched them, the other three Gates would be implicated, and the government was also having a headache. Therefore, this Old City became a place of exile more often than not.
When Xu Cheng's police car was about to enter the Old City, there were already a lot of local thugs looking at him with malicious intent.
Xu Cheng rolled down the window and asked a thug standing on the side of the road who looked like a sentry, "Who beat up a police officer from the North District Police Station tonight? Please tell him to come out for a second."
The thug ignored him and continued smoking. After taking a puff, he said impatiently, "Go away, don't park your car here. This area is full of nightclubs, and there are police officers here. If the customers aren't having a good time, then get the f * ck out of the Old City."
"Answer my question." Xu Cheng's face darkened.
"What the f * ck is wrong with you? Don't you understand human language? "The thug threw the cigarette butt away, stood up, and put his hands into his pockets as he arrogantly said.
Xu Cheng directly pushed open the door and knocked him out of the car. Then, he got out of the car, grabbed the thug's collar, and said angrily, "Who's the boss of North Gate? Tell him to come out!"
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Cheng noticed that a bunch of North Gate people were surrounding him and his car.
"Let him go." A man with ear studs came over and ordered Xu Cheng, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"An hour ago, who beat up a police officer from the North District Police Station?" Xu Cheng asked.
The guy with the ear studs paused for a second, spread out his hands, and shamelessly said, "If you don't know who beat him up, then what are you doing here? Don't try to arrest people without evidence. Officer, let me tell you, this isn't a place where you can come and go as you please. "
