This kick from Chu Ge was much stronger than the previous one. Bian Ziqun's body instantly curled up like a big shrimp, letting out a gagging sound as he slid almost a meter on the ground before coming to a stop.

In fact, if he didn't have reinforcements nearby and newfound confidence, Bian Ziqun wouldn't have cursed so viciously. However, he never dreamed that under such circumstances, Chu Ge would dare to lay a hand on him, and with such force!

Song Baijia's vision went black; he almost fainted on the spot.

The corners of the other officers' mouths twitched violently. Is this for real? Isn't the madman assaulting the police the one spewing nonsense here?

"What are you all standing around for? Does the state pay you just to loaf around? Why haven't you arrested him yet?"

It wasn't the head of Xiangyang Police Station who said this, but Chu Ge, who had just kicked Bian Ziqun far away.

After speaking, Chu Ge didn't give the officers any time to react. He let out a heavy snort, his gaze like a knife scanning the dumbfounded faces around him, then raised his right hand, pointing a finger as he bombarded them with questions.

"None of you are going to act, huh? Trying to shield a criminal? Are you worthy of the police uniform you wear, of the national emblem above your heads? You've got some nerve!"

The officers were already dumbfounded, and hearing Chu Ge speak like this, seeing his extremely indignant look, they were even more stunned. Every officer who met Chu Ge's eyes instinctively averted their gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.

It felt as if he wasn't unjustly shifting the blame, but rather standing on the side of absolute truth.

"Fine! Then I'll have to call the criminal investigation team!"

Chu Ge at this point was deeply into his role, as if he truly faced a bunch of corrupt scum. As he spoke, he took out his phone, pressing the power button with his right index finger and unlocking it with a swipe of his thumb.

Seeing that Chu Ge was really going to make the call, the head of Xiangyang Police Station panicked. Damn, what is this kid up to? Is he really going to bring in the criminal investigation team?

Though, deep down, the head wasn't entirely convinced by Chu Ge's words, he really was taken aback by Chu Ge at this moment. Without much thought, he stepped forward, "Wait!"

Chu Ge impatiently glanced at him, "What? You finally know what to do now?"

The head, frowning tightly, looked at Chu Ge with suspicion, "Comrade Bian Ziqun is indeed a police officer from our station. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what you just said?"

"A police officer from your station? Are you sure?"

The head nodded.

Chu Ge snorted heavily, slamming the table, "Nonsense!"

"This scumbag deliberately made things difficult for me while I was trying to handle proper procedures, then took the opportunity to solicit benefits. When I questioned him and demanded to see his police ID, he evaded and stalled. When cornered, he attacked me out of anger. If he's not a fake cop, why would he do such things? How do you explain this?"

Bian Ziqun finally caught his breath, picked up his glasses from the ground, and barely managed to get up. Hearing Chu Ge's words, he nearly passed out again from anger and pointed fiercely at Chu Ge.

"Slander! When the hell did you ask to see my police ID? When did I ever lay a hand on you?"

Chu Ge found it hilarious internally, yet maintained a stern face, casting a cold glance at Bian Ziqun before striding over and delivering two crisp slaps.

"Who do you think you're calling 'boss'? Bad habits, and you have the nerve to argue now? What kind of police officer speaks like you do? Huh?"

Hearing Chu Ge's question, the mouths of all the officers in the room twitched, instinctively lowering their heads slightly.

Bian Ziqun was utterly stunned by the beatings. His glasses flew far again, and the right side of his face seemed no longer his, swelling high. As Chu Ge's barrage of questions halted, he finally recognized a fact.

This guy is crazier than he imagined, and if he dared utter "boss" once more, this guy would continue slapping him right in front of the entire room of officers.

"I… I really am a police officer! You're smearing me!"

Chu Ge nodded, "Heh… fine, I'll give you another chance. Where's your police ID?"

"You damn… just wait!"

Enduring the severe pain on his right cheek, Bian Ziqun hissed, drawing in cold air. He took a few strides to the desk, but just as he was about to reach into his bag, he paused, turning with a venomous gaze to coldly stare at Chu Ge.

"What if I show my police ID? Then what?"

Chu Ge crossed his arms, lifting his chin slightly, "Do whatever you want with that."

"I'm telling you, assaulting an officer is a grave crime, but before you land in jail, I want you to kneel here and kowtow to me three times! Do you dare agree?"

Chu Ge snorted from his nose, "What if you can't produce it?"

"I'll kneel down and knock my head on the floor for you three times!"

Chu Ge shrugged, "No need, it's boring."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Bian Ziqun thought Chu Ge was chickening out and couldn't help but sneer, "So you're saying you're afraid?"

"Afraid? What am I afraid of?" Chu Ge chuckled, "It's just that your bet is boring to me."

For a bet he was sure to win, Bian Ziqun naturally had nothing to worry about. His gaze swept the table and suddenly saw those two packs of cigarettes, making him sneer again, "If I can't produce it, I'll eat these two packs of cigarettes!"

Chu Ge blinked, feeling speechless inside. This guy is ruthless enough; eating those forty cigarettes would surely require a hospital visit for a stomach pump.

And did his slaps damage this guy's brain? He dared to bet with him, shouldn't he think it through?

Alas, this guy must be washing his hair with Rejoice shampoo, otherwise how could he be so confident?

However, hehe, regarding this proposal, Chu Ge quite liked it, and faintly smiled, "Alright."

"That's settled then! Humph! Get ready to bow to me!"

Bian Ziqun said gleefully and fiercely, turning around and reaching his hand into his bag.

Thinking of Chu Ge soon kneeling at his feet, banging his head three times, Bian Ziqun felt his breathing smooth out, his body lightened, and even the swollen half of his face from being slapped seemed to hurt less.

A second passed, Bian Ziqun's face full of triumph.

Two seconds passed, Bian Ziqun was slightly stunned but still looked normal.

Five seconds passed, cold sweat appeared on Bian Ziqun's forehead, his gaze started to wander, and his right hand inside the bag frantically searched.

Ten seconds passed, the cold sweat on Bian Ziqun's forehead had formed a sheet, and his face turned stark white.

Chu Ge crossed his arms and waited a minute before speaking leisurely, "Still haven't found it? Your bag is only that big, is it that hard to find?"

Bian Ziqun shuddered, unconsciously muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible!"

After saying that, Bian Ziqun flipped the bag upside down, dumping everything onto the table, yet there was no sign of the item he was expecting — his police badge had vanished without a trace!

Bian Ziqun stood there dumbstruck, his eyes bewildered, the room very quiet, with only a faint trembling sound from the coin spinning after falling from his bag to the table.

The other officers, who had thought Chu Ge was bound to lose, were also stunned. With the recent tight regulations, they carried their badges all the time on or off duty. How did Bian Ziqun end up so unlucky, forgetting his today?

In the silence, Bian Ziqun suddenly turned around, eyes blazing red, and cursed loudly, "Damn you! You set me up!"

He remembered clearly, his badge was in the bag, just there ten minutes ago. Even if he was dizzy with anger, even if his reaction was slow, he finally understood now what had happened.

In fact, he wasn't wrong at all, Chu Ge did set him up. Chu Ge had secretly taken his badge in an instant and thrown it into the burning trash bin, turning it to ashes by now.

Seeing the mad dog-like charging Bian Ziqun, Chu Ge sneered, easily dodging Bian Ziqun's fist, kicking him to the ground.

Then, Chu Ge grabbed a pack of cigarettes on the table, tore open the packaging, pulled out a handful of cigarettes, held Bian Ziqun's face with his left hand forcing him to open his mouth, and stuffed the handful of cigarettes in with his right hand.

"You all see clearly, right? This is self-defense, and he, this fake cop, slandering me, you public servants, don't you owe me an explanation?"

Looking at Bian Ziqun's mouth stuffed with cigarettes and unable to move in Chu Ge's grip, the police station chief frowned, "Sir, aren't you being a bit excessive? He really is an officer from our station, the badge issue is just an accident."

The chief wasn't a fool; by now he had roughly guessed the cause and effect of the situation. Although he felt that Chu Ge wouldn't pick on Bian Ziqun for no reason, he still had to speak up for Bian Ziqun as his leader at the station.

Moreover, he was more inclined to believe Bian Ziqun had indeed been set up hard, unfortunate that there were no cameras in the room, making it impossible to clarify.

"I'm excessive?" Chu Ge laughed, sizing up the police station chief.

"Oh, is it not excessive for him to refuse to handle our matters, yet demand benefits from us just because of his position? I bought him two packs of cigarettes, he complained they were too cheap and planned to keep extorting me, is that not excessive? Are you kidding me?"

The chief's brow furrowed tighter, finally realizing that the trigger of the issue was critical. When he glanced at the stack of documents on the table, his pupils contracted instantly, and his face turned grim.
