Zhang Lan stared at Xiao Zheng in astonishment and completely collapsed.
Was this guy crazy? Or did he not know how much power the Xue family had in Pearl City? No matter whose fault it was, you still beat someone up, and even sent him to the hospital. As long as the Xue family wanted to cause trouble, whether it was using the garrison's power or handing it over to the police, the Xue family would make you suffer!
Yet, not only did Xiao Zheng not have the slightest attitude of repentance, he even threatened in an extremely domineering manner that killing someone like Xue Shao wouldn't count as much.
Zhang Lan was completely crazy. He did not know how to persuade Xue Gang, who was not a good person to begin with.
On the other hand, Xue Gang's expression suddenly turned cold after Xiao Zheng's ruthless words pierced his dignity. His eyes revealed an ominous glint as he stared unblinkingly at Xiao Zheng and said, "Very well. With this kind of thinking, it will be more convenient for me to do things. "
With that, he gave an order, and the ruthless soldiers surrounding Xiao Zheng swarmed forward in an attempt to take down Xiao Zheng on the spot.
"Stop!" Zhang Lan angrily shouted at the group of cold-faced soldiers. "What are you doing? Xue Gang, what are you doing? Are you going to do violence in public? Don't forget your identity! You are a soldier! Not a bandit! "
Xue Gang lit a cigarette and said with a gloomy expression, "You saw it too. It's not that I want to make things difficult for him, it's that he didn't cooperate. "
"You can use force if he doesn't cooperate?" Zhang Lan said sternly. "Xiao Zheng, your brother only had a civil dispute. Even if you beat him up and sent him to the hospital, you shouldn't have used the military's power to take revenge on him!"
Xue Gang laughed coldly and did not say anything.
"I want to see who dares to touch him tonight!" Zhang Lan stood up and said stubbornly.
Who was she?
A small leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. A government official with connections in Pearl City. Even if Xue Gang had a powerful background and was an officer of the garrison. However, it was not appropriate for him to use force in front of Zhang Lan. Especially since he and Zhang Lan had an irreconcilable conflict, and he knew that Zhang Lan was a stubborn woman. If things really got out of hand, it wouldn't be good for either side. At that moment, he didn't forcefully capture him, but said indifferently, "Zhang Lan, I can give you face. As long as he's willing to come with me, I promise I won't use force. "
"Are you sure?" Zhang Lan's attitude softened.
"Yes." Xue Gang nodded. He stubbed out his cigarette.
Zhang Lan turned to Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, why don't you go with them? With Xue Gang's personality, if you don't go back with him tonight, he won't give up. "After pausing for a moment, Zhang Lan said in a low voice. "Don't worry, I'll go with you, and I'll also call my connections. I believe he won't dare to do anything to you. "
Xiao Zheng thought to himself, 'Silly woman, I said I won't do it, I didn't say I won't let my subordinates do it.' What kind of leader would want to beat someone up himself?
However, Zhang Lan had good intentions, so he couldn't reject it. Moreover, as Zhang Lan had said, with Xue Gang's personality, even if he did not cooperate, Xue Gang would not let the matter rest. Was he going to fight with the people from the garrison in public? Beating up a soldier in a situation where the other party's identity was known was a serious crime.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Zheng weighed the pros and cons and decided to compromise in the end.
Hearing this, Zhang Lan turned to glare at Xue Gang again. "You better keep your promise."
Xue Gang did not make a sound, he only waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to send Xiao Zheng to the car.
After Xiao Zheng left, Blue Heart and Zhang Lan followed closely behind and drove to the garrison.
Along the way, Zhang Lan made a few calls to her colleagues and leaders. She briefly explained the ins and outs of the situation, but the reply she got was to investigate the situation before making a decision. Zhang Lan's face showed deep dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew the Xue family's influence in Pearl City better than anyone else. Not to mention her colleagues and leaders, even high-ranking officials might not be interested in getting involved. Moreover, although the military and government were one, when it came to handling matters, they were clearly separated and had nothing to do with each other. Unless one's rank reached a certain level, words would not be of much use. Forcefully standing up for her was just asking to be humiliated. Thus, it was not that Zhang Lan's colleagues did not want to help her, but that they were powerless and were afraid of offending people.
"I thought Xiao Zheng had matured, I didn't think he would still be so impulsive. Sigh …" Zhang Lan's heart was spinning in circles, she only hoped that Xue Gang would not be too ruthless. However, thinking about it, with Xue Gang's vengeful personality, how could he let Xiao Zheng off so easily after his brother was beaten up and sent to the hospital?
Just like that, Zhang Lan arrived at the garrison with a heart full of worries. Before the car even stopped, Zhang Lan rushed out of the car and walked toward Xiao Zheng.
Blue Heart was even more anxious than Zhang Lan. She did not care whether this was the garrison or not, she ignored the people around her and rushed in like a madman.
"If you don't leave, I won't be polite anymore!" A guard mercilessly pushed Blue Heart away, causing the delicate Blue Heart to stagger back and almost fall to the ground.
When Xiao Zheng, who was being escorted in front, saw Blue Heart being pushed away, his expression suddenly darkened. Killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he quickly pushed away the two soldiers behind him. He stood in front of the violent guard with lightning speed. His gaze was abnormally sharp, and he said coldly, "How are you going to be rude?"
The armed guard did not realize that Xiao Zheng was standing in front of him at all. He was about to pull out his gun to force Xiao Zheng back, but he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He could not help but cry out in pain.
"Ah …"
The moment he let out a blood-curdling scream, the few soldiers that Xiao Zheng had shaken off, including Xue Gang, pulled out the guns they carried with them. They aimed their pitch-black muzzles at Xiao Zheng and shouted, "Xiao Zheng, if you dare to move again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xiao Zheng, who was being aimed at by several guns, expressionlessly loosened his grip on the guard's wrist. With a cold and indifferent tone, he said, "You're a soldier. Your duty is to protect the country, not to bully women."
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was about to explode, Zhang Lan hurriedly supported Blue Heart and said loudly, "Xiao Zheng, don't be rash!"
Xiao Zheng shrugged and turned to Zhang Lan, saying, "Help me take care of Blue Heart." After saying this, he gave Blue Heart a comforting look before walking into the garrison with large strides with a resolute expression.
After seeing Xiao Zheng being escorted by a group of aggressive soldiers, Blue Heart, who was being supported by Zhang Lan, was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She said with a trembling voice, "Zhang Lan, how do you think they will deal with Xiao Zheng? Who will be able to save him? "
"Don't worry, Xiao Zheng is only hitting people, not killing them. Xue Gang won't dare to do anything to him, "Zhang Lan said, but she was also very worried.
Would Xue Gang let Xiao Zheng off so easily? Not to mention hitting his brother, Xue Gang would probably find all sorts of reasons to make trouble for Xiao Zheng for attacking the guards.
The only thing she needed to worry about now was how Xue Gang planned to punish Xiao Zheng, and how far he wanted to torture Xiao Zheng.
Could it be that Xue Gang would dare to disregard the law and take Xiao Zheng's life?
Zhang Lan's palms were covered in a layer of sweat due to her nervousness, and she could not control her emotions.
She really regretted not asking Xiao Zheng for Lu Dashan's number. At this moment, perhaps only a legendary figure like Lu Dashan could suppress the Xue family.
At the very least, among the people that Zhang Lan knew and interacted with, only Lu Dashan had the ability and reason to help Xiao Zheng. Otherwise, how would Xiao Zheng survive tonight?
