Su Xingyun said, “You didn’t even introduce me before leaving?!”

He recognized the man as the one who had come with two sons to find Jiang Lin that day, so he realized his memory was correct.

Seeing someone handling Huang Xiangyu, he hurried over, “Excuse me?”

Fang Chengguang was inspecting Huang Xiangyu’s condition, considering if he should give him a few more kicks if it wasn’t bad enough.

Huang Xiangyu’s injuries were severe, especially below the belt, as his legs couldn’t even close.

“Nice job!” Fang Chengguang commented.

Hearing Su Xingyun’s voice, he looked up and smiled, “You all did well. I’ll take care of these people.”

Su Xingyun asked, “May I ask what department you’re from? Can you make decisions? We plan to hand them over to the police tomorrow.”

Fang Chengguang replied, “I can’t make decisions, but I can hand them over to those who can.”

He looked around, expecting to mention he was with Cheng Rushan, but the couple was gone.

Instead, Da Bao and Xiao Bao were happily dancing on the side, causing everyone to watch them intently and cheer.

He had to look away, “I’m a friend of Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan. We’re all in the military district.”

An officer, Su Xingyun sighed in relief and smiled, “That’s good. But isn’t it troublesome for you to take them away? Huang Xiangyu has a significant background; it’s said he has connections in your military. We plan to petition to make sure he’s held accountable and can’t continue his wrongdoing.”

He briefly mentioned the cases of Chen Yue and Xie Xiaoman.

Fang Chengguang’s eyes grew fierce, “Alright, he must be punished severely.”

Su Xingyun was surprised and excited, “Can he really be sentenced to death?”

Fang Chengguang responded, “Once we have solid evidence, the more people protect him, the faster he’ll face justice.”

Su Xingyun was delighted, “That’s great! If you need anything, just let me know.” Seeing Fang Chengguang’s impressive military demeanor, he trusted him even more.

At that moment, Cheng Rushan and Jiang Lin arrived.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, “It was He Changjiang who informed you, right? He answered the phone when I called back.”

Fang Chengguang asked, “Changjiang?”

He smiled but said nothing more. “Are you all going to continue having fun or head back? I’ll take these people to the police station.”

Cheng Rushan looked at Jiang Lin. If she wanted to continue, he would stay with her. Everything else could wait.

Jiang Lin’s face was warm from embarrassment.

She knew she needed to deal with Huang Xiangyu, the scum, first.

She smiled and said, “It’s getting late. We should head home. There will be plenty of chances to have fun later.”

Wen Sheng and Zeng Hongjie came over.

Wen Sheng smiled at Jiang Lin but didn’t call her “mom.”

Jiang Lin gave him a thumbs-up, “You’re learning quickly and dancing really well!”

Huang Xiangyu had been beaten so badly that Su Xingyun asked if there was a doctor from the medical office available to check on him.

Coincidentally, Guo Yanqiu was present.

She was at the university’s social event and had planned to invite Lu Hang, but he insisted he had important work and took Jiang Xinglei to inspect goods.

If not for Guo Yanqiu, Lu Hang would have shown up. Scared by Guo Yanqiu, Lu Hang didn’t even let Jiang Xinglei appear.

Guo Yanqiu greeted Jiang Lin and went over to examine the injured.

The injuries were serious but not fatal.

She pointed at Huang Xiangyu and said, “He’s ruined.”

Hearing this, Huang Xiangyu, who had just regained consciousness, fainted again with a scream.

Fang Chengguang told Cheng Rushan, “Brother Cheng, you take your wife and others home first. I’ll take Huang Xiangyu to the nearby police station.”

He shared some information with Cheng Rushan.

Huang Xiangyu’s brother-in-law was Wu Jinshui, the captain of a criminal investigation team at a police station.

Fang Chengguang expected Wu Jinshui would hear about the incident by midnight and come for Huang Xiangyu.

The local police would be unable to handle it, so he needed to personally oversee the situation.

Cheng Rushan, initially thinking it was just some hooligans causing trouble, was enraged when he realized it was a top thug harassing female students, especially since one of them was Jiang Lin.

He didn’t show it, especially in front of Jiang Lin, where he only displayed gentleness and was concerned about calming her down in case she got upset.

Now, learning that Huang Xiangyu was actually the half-brother of Fang Chengguang’s stepmother, it felt like fate.

He said, “I’ll take them home. You hold on here for a bit; I’ll be back soon.”

Fang Chengguang smiled, “If something goes wrong, you’ll be in trouble with me.”

He wasn’t sure if the old man would listen to his stepmother’s pleas.

Cheng Rushan replied, “Why would I be in trouble with you? I don’t care who he’s related to. If he dares to mess with my wife, I’ll make sure he pays for it!”

Fang Chengguang and Cheng Rushan shook hands. “Then let’s fight this together.”

Cheng Rushan chuckled, “Didn’t your parents teach you any manners?”

Fang Chengguang nodded, surprised that Cheng Rushan really didn’t care about offending a superior.

This was a brother he could rely on.

Cheng Rushan took the keys and told Jiang Lin to take Wen Sheng, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao home first.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn’t know what had happened.

When they were told that some troublemakers had been beaten, they just continued dancing.

They were having fun with a group of younger students.

When they heard they had to go home, they immediately waved goodbye to their friends, saying, “See you next time, big brothers and sisters!”

“We have a social gathering on Saturday. You should come,” they were invited.

Xiao Bao replied, “As long as my mom comes, we’ll come too.”

Da Bao added, “My mom is Jiang Lin, and my dad is Cheng Rushan.”

The classmates laughed, “Got it. We’ll invite you through your mom on Saturdays, okay?”

Xiao Bao said, “Thanks for the invite!”

Da Bao: Finally, he could proudly attend the dance with his mom.

With them around, no man would dare to shamelessly flirt with his mom!

The two boys ran to join their parents.

Wen Sheng also said goodbye to Zeng Hongjie and Sun Qinghui before following them to the car.

Zeng Hongjie told Jiang Lin, “Go on home. Our school reporter will follow them to the police station and cover the whole event.”

Jiang Lin gave her a hug, “Stay safe.”

After Jiang Lin and the others left, Fang Chengguang had the thugs either escorted or carried to the nearby police station.

Zeng Hongjie took a photo.

Fang Chengguang frowned and turned to her, “Don’t take pictures of me.”

Zeng Hongjie smiled, “It was an accident. If it turns out, I’ll give you the film later.”

Fang Chengguang nodded and left with his team.

Zeng Hongjie, Su Xingyun, and the others followed to the police station to keep watch, ensuring Huang Xiangyu wouldn’t be rescued. With Fang Chengguang there, they felt reassured.

---

Cheng Rushan drove home.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were already asleep in the car.

He and Wen Sheng carried them to their rooms. He Liang and Bie Dongshan, hearing the noise, came out and said, “Sister-in-law, take us to the dance next time.”

Cheng Rushan replied, “Get dressed. I’ll take you now.”

He Liang asked, “Seriously? The event is over, right?”

Bie Dongshan laughed, “It’s a night event!”

Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzh also hadn’t gone to bed.

They came out to see what was happening.

Jiang Lin didn’t give details but mentioned some trouble.

She asked them to go to bed while Cheng Rushan went out again.

The elderly couple, having experienced many challenges, didn’t pry further.

They simply reminded them to stay safe before returning to their room.

Cheng Rushan hugged Jiang Lin and kissed her gently, saying, “Rest early.”

Jiang Lin looked up and said seriously, “Shan Ge, I’ve never wanted someone to die so badly. He deserves it!”

For the girls he had harmed.

Cheng Rushan replied solemnly, “I promise.”

He kissed her again and then turned to leave.

Cheng Rushan instructed He Liang and Bie Dongshan to go to Chen Yue’s and Xie Xiaoman’s homes to investigate their cases.

He himself went directly to the police station.

Previously, Fang Chengguang had personally reported the case.

The sleepy duty officers at the station were instantly alert when they heard it involved the military district.

They quickly recorded the case details.

After noting the initial information, including the thugs causing trouble on campus and being beaten by students, the officer looked at the severely beaten men on the floor and thought, This is quite severe.

They’re practically unrecognizable. Is it really necessary to report this? Usually, troublemakers getting a beating is enough to resolve things.

The report should be about the beaten thugs, not the trouble itself.

The scene was brutal, nearly unbearable to look at.

Su Xingyun continued with the report, bringing up other cases involving Huang Xiangyu, particularly the cases of Chen Yue from four years ago and Xie Xiaoman.

This was only what he knew; there were likely more unknown cases.

Seeing the gravity of the situation, the duty officer realized he couldn’t handle this and quickly called for Captain Sun.

Captain Sun Kaixuan lived nearby and quickly arrived on his bicycle.

Upon hearing Huang Xiangyu’s name, he immediately understood the situation.

In the provincial capital, he and Huang Xiangyu’s brother-in-law, Wu Jinshui, were acquainted.

Sun Kaixuan had heard about Huang Xiangyu’s actions.

He had hoped Huang Xiangyu would stay out of his jurisdiction, but now that Huang Xiangyu was in trouble with Fang Chengguang’s involvement, it was a real issue.

Sun Kaixuan thought, Oh, things have gotten interesting!

He communicated with Fang Chengguang and had several troublemakers detained first. Huang Xiangyu was kept separately; no one was allowed to release him or visit him without his orders.

At this moment, Wu Jinshui arrived.

He rushed over after receiving the news, sweating profusely even though he had ridden his motorcycle.

As soon as he entered, he shouted, “Old Sun, the flood has hit the Dragon King Temple; the family isn’t a family anymore!”

Sun Kaixuan greeted him with a pretense of politeness and played it cool.

Wu Jinshui said, “My brother-in-law went to the provincial university’s social event and heard he was beaten. What’s this about, Old Sun? Why aren’t you upholding justice and have even detained my brother? It’s a misunderstanding, purely a misunderstanding.”

Sun Kaixuan replied, “Is that so?”

At this moment, Cheng Rushan strode in and coldly said, “Does someone like him, a social figure, need to carry a gun and a knife to attend the provincial university’s social event? He went there and immediately started a disturbance with guns and kidnapping students. That’s a misunderstanding?”

Wu Jinshui turned to look at him, not recognizing him.

Though he looked handsome and imposing, he was someone to be dealt with!

His face immediately darkened, and he shifted from his friendly demeanor with Sun Kaixuan to a scowl as he glared at Cheng Rushan. “Who do you think you are? Are you trying to provoke the criminal police team leader here? Do you believe I won’t deal with you for disturbing our work?”

He raised his hand to poke Cheng Rushan.

Wu Jinshui was significantly shorter than Cheng Rushan. Unable to reach Cheng Rushan’s head to slap him, he aimed to poke his shoulder instead.

Before he could poke Cheng Rushan, Cheng Rushan grabbed his wrist, causing him to double over in pain. “Let, let—”

Cheng Rushan raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze icy as he looked at him. “Do you believe I won’t report you for abusing your power and endangering lives?”
