Romance of Dragons and Snakes

Chapter 7: The robber is the victim

The moment the sirens of the police cars could be heard, the gangsters that had been chasing Wang Chao immediately went still for a moment before running off.

But after several steps, one of the persons immediately stopped, “This isn’t our fault this time! Why are we running when it’s his fault!”

At this, the gangsters immediately stopped running and hurriedly waited for the police to come.

Soon, the sirens came to a stop as five or six men came out of the car fully dressed in uniform.

The leader was a burly looking police officer that was almost 2 meters tall. In a second, he had barked out an order, “Book the ones that were fighting, now! Any bystanders, out of the way!”

Subsequently, the police officers came down on the gangsters with a frightening speed and quickly handcuffed the gangsters, including brothers Liang and Guang who had been struck by Wang Chao earlier.

“You pieces of trash, causing trouble for me at such an important time, I’ll be sure to teach you well when we get back!” A middle aged police officer kicked at one of the gangsters with a curse.

But even Wang Chao had been ratted out to the police officers by one of the gangsters, causing him to be put in the back of a police car as well.

With both police cars stuffed with people, they finally set into motion to drive away.

In the police car, Wang Chao could only look on in a daze. He had a feeling that this group of police officers could have been a part of the SWAT team.

“Sit down in a line and behave!” Once they had arrived at the police station, the police officer in charge of them kicked at each of the gangsters angrily.

Since Wang Chao was wearing his school uniform, he had been fortunate and was not kicked.

When one of the police officers saw Wang Chao, he spoke, “Isn’t this a student? He’s not one of them, hurry up and unshackle him.”

Not only were Wang Chao’s handcuffs taken off, but he had been given a chair to sit on and wait.

“Officer Cao, he was the one that started it! he even stole our money!” Brother Liang had already recovered a bit from the strike to his testicles, but there was still the phantom pain left in his groin even as he tried to explain.

The other gangsters immediately began to heckle Wang Chao as well, “Officer Cao, we can testify! It was that brat that struck first and even stole our money!”

“Enough of your shit!” The man called officer Cao slapped the table with his palms and roared, “Just what type of person are you if you say that a student stole your money? He hit you first? Do you think I am some sort of idiot?”

“What time do you think it is? It’s the national elections! And yet, you’re still causing trouble for me! Didn’t your boss Chen teach you any better and say to avoid trouble during this time? With the shit you’re causing me, I should shoot one of you!”

The boss behind the scenes was someone that officer Cao knew. However, with even this type of violation at such a time, even boss Chen would be made an example of.

The eyes of officer Cao were fully blazing now as he ranted with a furious rage that scared even the gangsters.

With that, officer Cao turned to Wang Chao, “Which school are you from?”

With a small stutter, Wang Chao spoke, “Uncle officer, I’m a second year from Sanzhong, third class.

“Sanzhong, second year of the third class? That’s the same class my daughter is in.” Officer Cao spoke with a nod of his head, “You needn’t worry then, I’ll just write your name down and you can go.”

At that moment, a police officer came rushing in, “Captain Cao, the news reporter for the television channel is here.”

Kneading his temples softly, officer Cao spoke, “It’s a good thing our patrols have been so tight recently. Otherwise, this extortion crime of a student would have been caught by the news reporter. In this time during the election, that would have been terrible.”

“Let her in for the interview.”

Not too long after, a long haired woman wearing a business suit walked into the room followed by a cameraman

As soon as the cameraman came in, he immediately walked to a corner of the room and began filming.

It was just then that Wang Chao had realized who she was. This woman was Zhu Jia, the beautiful news anchor that he saw on the news channel every so often.

As Zhu Jia walked into the room, she and officer Cao began to talk for a moment before finally beginning to film. “Good evening everyone. Tonight during the elections, the city’s public security bureau has been working around the clock to protect the safety of every citizen and to provide a safe environment….Just now, the Nancheng division of the public safety bureau has just recently caught a gang of gangsters trying to extort a high school student…”

The camera panned on over to brother Liang and the others.

Then, Zhu Jia pointed the camera and microphone to Wang Chao, “This is a second year student from Sanzhong who had been working out at the sports center before being blackmailed and extorted. Just how do you feel about this matter?”

Wang Chao’s nose felt a small itch as he smelled the sweet fragrant perfume that Zhu Jia was wearing. With a beating heart and a slightly stunned face, he nodded his head, “I want to thank uncle officer for arriving so fast.”

Sneaking a glance at Zhu Jia, Wang Chao suddenly realized just how beautiful this news anchor was. Unable to help realize just how dry his lips were, he turned his head as if to say something more, but Zhu Jia had already turned the microphone away from him to question officer Cao.

Officer Cao coughed to clear his throat before speaking, “In this time of importance, our public security bureau has strived to maintain the peace. As for those who dare to violate this discipline, we will strike hard and fast at them……and we will be looking at any holes in our coverage…”

Officer Cao’s speech of justice had lasted for half the day before the news reporter finally took away the microphone and took a picture with the officer before waving goodbye and leaving in a moment.

Brother Liang had almost spat out in blood from all the anger he was feeling, but he didn’t dare speak out since he was deathly afraid of officer Cao’s explosive temperament.

But while they didn’t complain, they still sent poisonous glares towards Wang Chao.

By now, Wang Chao had finally broken out of his stupor. Ignoring brother Liang and the others, he asked officer Cao, “Uncle officer, can I go home now?”

“Wei, boss Chen? I’ve just caught a group of…” At that moment, the officer waved his hand as an indicator for Wang Chao not to speak while he was on the phone.

“What! Those bastards! I gave them some money and told them to behave, but they ended up doing it anyways! You said they were on television as well? Fine, fine. Officer Cao, I’m sorry to bother you, but just throw them in for a year, let’s see if they’ll cause anymore trouble then.”

After Wang Chao’s temples had been enlarged, his ears had been able to move at will as well, allowing him to hear the contents of the phone conversation with ease.

Closing his cellphone, officer Cao spoke to the other police officers by the side, Xiao Li, Xiao Yang, lock them up in the black room for tonight, we’ll deal with them tomorrow.”

After the interrogation was over, only officer Cao and Wang Chao remained in the room.

Wang Chao had desperately wished to go home now, “Uncle officer, can I go home now?”

Officer Cao looked at Wang Chao for a moment without saying anything as if he was thinking. Then, slowly, his eyes looked at Wang Chao’s temples with a narrowed glance.

“Little brother, your skill is quite decent. After fighting so many gangsters, did you not get hurt?”
