Chapter 900: One Must Not Easily Take a Life

This time, Wang An wasn't grinning. He first pointed his finger at Li Xiuyu, and then spoke with a face full of solemnity

"It's like this, Big Sister. This is Lao Wu's partner, Li Xiuyu. She was Lao Wu's classmate before they started studying. A while back, her father borrowed some private loans in the township. The principal and interest were all paid back long ago, but when he borrowed the money, they said it was monthly interest, and then before paying it back, it suddenly turned into daily interest."

Immediately following this, Wang An recounted the entire matter in full detail.

By the time Wang An finished, Zhang Shuya's expression had become very unsightly.

Mainly, regarding this kind of matter, let alone the justice-driven Zhang Shuya, even an ordinary person would be filled with righteous indignation and towering rage upon hearing it.

Ignoring the change in Zhang Shuya's expression, Wang An continued

"Big Sister, you tell me—if this happened to someone else, that would be one thing, but it actually happened to our sister-in-law. If I were to gather a gang of people and beat them all into a pulp, Big Sister, would you say I'm acting on behalf of Heaven?"

Wu Dong, Zhang Shuya, and the other four second-generation elites all knew that Wang An used to be a famous hooligan in the county town.

Furthermore, the current Wang An not only had the strength to gather manpower but also had very formidable financial power as support.

Most importantly, Wang An had people like Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya as his backup.

If Wang An wanted to, it was entirely possible for him to unify and integrate the entire underground world of the county town.

Therefore, Wang An's words could not be considered alarmist in the slightest.

However, as soon as Wang An finished speaking, Zhang Shuya, whose face was already grim, stepped forward and smacked him hard on his big head.

At the same time, Zhang Shuya said to Wang An very seriously

"How long has it been since you settled down? You're starting to get itchy again. I'm telling you, if you dare do something like that, I'll be the first one to arrest you, and then I'll let you taste what a cold-water-soaked whip feels like inside every single day."

As she spoke, Zhang Shuya smacked Wang An's big head again and said fiercely

"Dare to cause trouble under my nose, and I'll beat you to death."

And so, Wang An, who had just intended to show off a bit but hadn't even managed to start, was ruthlessly suppressed by Zhang Shuya.

In truth, Wang An was just talking. He had finally managed to retire from the hooligan industry; how stupid would he be to dive back in now?

One had to realize that the "Great Cleanup" was only about a year away. Wang An wanted to hide as much as possible; it could be said that the current Wang An didn't even want to touch the edge of the hooligan life.

The scene of a hundred thousand youths transforming into "Hat Brothers" (police)—if one were a hooligan, just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.

After taking two smacks, Wang An wasn't annoyed. Instead, he said with a grin

"Then I must obediently listen to Big Sister. Whatever Big Sister tells me to do, I'll do, hehehehe."

Changing the subject, Wang An continued

"About that, Big Sister, don't you think you should help Lao Wu's partner vent this anger? This is practically not letting the partner's family live!"

Zhang Shuya gave Wang An an annoyed glance and said

"Goodness, I don't need you to tell me. Do you think I wouldn't take the sister-in-law's matter seriously?"

After speaking, Zhang Shuya looked at the three of them and said

"Alright, come with me to the office first. Once everyone has started work, I'll arrange for people to make a trip to Xing'an Township."

At this moment, Wang An reminded her

"I reckon the reason those loan sharks dare to be so arrogant is that they must have connections with the people in the township. I reckon the 'police' over in our Xing'an Township might have some issues as well."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya gave Wang An a harsh glare and said

"Do I need you to teach me? Speak less of such things in the future. How did you become so lacking in discretion?"

Wang An nodded and did not argue, mainly because what Zhang Shuya said was entirely correct.

Some things, although they were facts and common knowledge, simply could not be spoken or mentioned; this was a matter of principle.

The phrase "misfortune comes from the mouth" was sometimes absolutely more than just a saying.

Seeing Wang An's cooperative attitude, Zhang Shuya didn't scold him further but said to the three of them

"Alright, let's go. Have you all eaten? If not, come to the office and eat something. I basically don't light the stove at my place anyway; I'm too lazy to cook for myself."

The three of them all said they had already eaten breakfast, and Zhang Shuya simply nodded without further politeness.

The four of them walked into the courtyard together. Zhang Shuya casually handed her sidecar motorcycle keys to Wang An, who instinctively took them.

Clearly, Zhang Shuya wanted Wang An to drive.

Thus, Wang An rode Zhang Shuya's sidecar with her as a passenger, while Wang Li rode Wang An's sidecar with Li Xiuyu, and the four of them headed toward the Public Security Bureau.

In fact, where Zhang Shuya lived was right behind the Public Security Bureau; walking would probably only take three or four minutes.

So, the three of them riding the sidecars arrived in less than a minute.

After telling the three of them to wait in her office, Zhang Shuya walked toward the cafeteria alone.

When Zhang Shuya reappeared in the office, there was an extra person beside her—someone Wang An was quite familiar with.

If speaking solely of the level of familiarity, it could be said that from the various organs of the body to the many hairs on the skin, and even a mole on a certain secret part, Wang An knew it all like the back of his hand.

Indeed, the person appearing beside Zhang Shuya was the great beauty, Sun Nian.

It had to be admitted that while men cannot live without women, similarly, women actually cannot live without men.

For example, the previous Sun Nian looked like a very pure beauty, like a white lotus that was "suitable for distant viewing but not for touching."

But the current Sun Nian clearly looked like a noble and cold peony—both glamorous and charming, giving off a vibe of immense feminine allure.

Clearly, the reason Sun Nian had undergone such a huge change was entirely due to the results of Wang An's "hard work" on her.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhang Shuya said to Wang An

"I just told your Sister Nian about the sister-in-law's matter. In a moment, your Sister Nian will lead the team down there. You, Lao Wu, and the sister-in-law should try not to be at the front; just watch from a distance. I'm afraid those extremists might put up a violent resistance."

As soon as Zhang Shuya finished, Wang An immediately asked

"Big Sister, Lao Wu and I are also militia. If something happens, can the two of us fire our guns?"

Zhang Shuya was stunned for a moment, only then remembering that Wang An, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li also held the status of militia.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Shuya nodded

"You can fire, but the priority is to make the opponent lose their ability to fight; you cannot easily take a life."
