Chapter 2236: Chapter 1074: Upholding Justice

"What did I say?" Song Xiaodong innocently asked.

"Didn’t you say for me to find a man to adjust?!" Qiao Yutong rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong.

"I’m just speaking the truth, yin and yang harmonize." Song Xiaodong shook his head as he spoke.

"Perv." Qiao Yutong pouted, looking downward as if she was shy.

Song Xiaodong glanced at Qiao Yutong with amusement, observing her little-girl demeanor.

He vividly remembered how hot-tempered Director Qiao was the first time they met.

But now, Director Qiao, sitting in the passenger seat with her long legs stretched out, hair down, gazing at her knees, didn’t resemble the domineering police officer at all.

No matter how tough a woman is, in front of someone she likes, she’s just a girl after all.

"Hey, tell me, how are things between you and Wang Chao?" Qiao Yutong gently asked Song Xiaodong.

"Don’t mention it, got arrested twice in three days." Song Xiaodong said.

"I heard about it, people from the province office came once, totally bypassed Director Zhao and me, went straight to your Su Family Courtyard." Qiao Yutong said.

"Yeah, but that’s not a big deal. The issue is, they disturb me every night at three a.m. It’s like they’re planning to exhaust me." Song Xiaodong complained.

"Hahahahaha."

Qiao Yutong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, he even sent people to smash up my store." Song Xiaodong added.

"Really? That’s outrageous!" Qiao Yutong angrily commented.

"Yeah, many stores are still being renovated, with damages running into the millions, not accounting for the loss from not opening, utility bills, rent, and taxes." Song Xiaodong said.

"That’s so despicable!" Qiao Yutong gritted her teeth.

"Why didn’t you come to me when he smashed your store? I’ll arrest them!" Qiao Yutong said.

"Director Qiao, those guys are soldiers. You don’t want them coming to smash your police station." Song Xiaodong said to Qiao Yutong.

"So what if they’re soldiers? They still have to obey the law!" Qiao Yutong replied with raised eyebrows.

"Alright, Director Qiao, don’t worry, even though they smashed my place, they need to compensate." Song Xiaodong said.

"Compensate? Why would they compensate you? If they smash, they smash." Qiao Yutong questioned.

"Why? It’s one thing to smash someone else’s place, but when it comes to me, they should recognize who I am." Song Xiaodong boasted.

"What can you do to them?"

"What? I smashed back, I wrecked their camp, and now they have to pay me." Song Xiaodong said.

"Is that true, are you bragging? They have guns!" Qiao Yutong said.

"So what if they have guns? I have a military rank!" Song Xiaodong said.

"You have a military rank?" Qiao Yutong curiously asked.

"Of course, I didn’t serve in the military for nothing." Song Xiaodong said.

"Cocky! How high can your rank be? A non-commissioned officer?" Qiao Yutong mocked.

"Hmph!" Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes at Qiao Yutong.

"Mess hall captain?" Qiao Yutong continued.

"Cook?"

"Coachman?"

"I’ll scare you to death with the truth, make you afraid to even speak to me." Song Xiaodong told Qiao Yutong.

"Not a single truth in that." Qiao Yutong teased Song Xiaodong.

"What I’m saying is the truth, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do." Song Xiaodong said.

"Hm."

"I heard the army sent someone later, is that true?" Qiao Yutong asked.

Qiao Yutong sure did inquire a lot about Song Xiaodong’s affairs.

"Yes, a General came." Song Xiaodong said.

"Bragging again, needing a General just to arrest you?" Qiao Yutong shot a sidelong glance at Song Xiaodong.

"Arrest me? Even a General wouldn’t work, I told that General I would be out by morning, and he said if I get out by morning, he’ll quit."

"And then what?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"So the General resigned, huh?" Song Xiaodong said.

"You’re blowing it out of proportion. Do you know how many generals there are in the whole country? Just to resign like that, do you know the impact?" Qiao Yutong said.

"Although it’s unlikely he’ll be removed, back then, abusing power, skipping levels of oversight... a suspension for reflection is inevitable. I’m not bothered to argue with him," Song Xiaodong said.

"The more you talk, the more mysterious it sounds."

"So what now? Are you just letting it go?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"How is that possible? A Deputy Commander, you know... that sounds intimidating. People with power and influence, it can’t just end like that." Song Xiaodong said.

"Well, speaking of which, if you hadn’t sought trouble with him, wouldn’t your two wives be fine? Let it go if there’s no issue. After beating him up like that, of course he’s not happy." Qiao Yutong said.

"Hmph, that’s getting off lightly already. It’s his luck he didn’t crash into my wives, or I’d have paralyzed him from the chest down on the spot, leaving him paralyzed everywhere but his eyebrows." Song Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said.

"You better stop causing trouble, or you’ll find yourself in jail sooner or later." Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaodong.

"If anything happens to my wives, I’ll fight him to the death!"

"Alright, alright, I know you’re tough!"

"So, how are you planning to wrap this up? You can’t keep going against them like this, right? They have a powerful background. Why not see the bigger picture and call it a day?" Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong turned his head and smiled at Qiao Yutong, "You know, the retired Deputy Commander said the same thing to me."

Qiao Yutong raised an eyebrow and said proudly, "Really? Looks like I have potential to become a Deputy Commander?"

"Yeah, Deputy Commander is bald. I see your hairline is pretty high too."

"You’re asking for it!" Qiao Yutong made a fist and lightly knocked Song Xiaodong’s shoulder.

"So you’ve met Wang Gang, huh?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"How do you know Wang Gang?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"I... I was the one who helped you look up information that day." Qiao Yutong answered evasively.

"Oh, yes, he called me and asked me to visit the scenic area to see the maple leaves." Song Xiaodong said.

"That old guy still has a romantic side." Qiao Yutong said.

"Of course, he even talked philosophy with me." Song Xiaodong said.

"Oh wow, his son got beat up and is in the hospital wrapped like a mummy, yet he still has the heart to discuss philosophy with the guy who did it. That old man has a big heart." Qiao Yutong shook his head.

"That’s why he’s a Deputy Commander. Who can match his calmness and magnanimity?" Song Xiaodong said.

"What did you guys talk about?"

"To be fair, that old guy, he’s pretty nice but a bit too arrogant." Song Xiaodong said.

"Why do you say that?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"He asked me to treat him, saying if I treat him, our issues with his son would be resolved." Song Xiaodong said.

"Isn’t that a good thing?" Qiao Yutong said.

"What’s good about it?" Song Xiaodong asked, glancing sideways.

"Why should I treat him? If he wants treatment, he can come ask and beg me. His son getting beaten was well-deserved. The Forest Park is full of tourists, is it a place for him to race cars? Almost hitting my wives, I beat him up to uphold justice!" Song Xiaodong said.

"So you didn’t reach an agreement."

"Yeah, he said he’s going to bring me to the highest military court." Song Xiaodong said.

"The highest..." Qiao Yutong was also stunned upon hearing it.

"Do you really have a military rank?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"Did you really think I was lying to you?" Song Xiaodong said.

"No wonder you’re so arrogant, you actually have a background."

"I’m standing up for justice, not being arrogant."

"Ah, I can’t win an argument with you!"

The two of them went to a seafood hot pot restaurant to eat crabs.

"Do you eat spicy food?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"No, ever since I took your medicine, I haven’t had any pimples on my face for a long time, and I want to keep it that way." Qiao Yutong said.

"Actually, eating it wouldn’t be a problem, as long as yin and yang are balanced, pimples won’t appear..."

"Stop! Enough..." Qiao Yutong made a stop gesture.

"I gave you a chance before and you didn’t appreciate it, and now you keep persuading me to balance yin and yang. What, do you really regret it?" Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaodong with a smile.
