A splash of dirty water

  Pan Chengjun was inwardly cursing Zhang Chao's ancestors for eighty generations in response to the teasing questions from the man in black.

  However, this guy is a street rascal after all, and doesn't understand the bigger picture, with many crooked ideas. In his anxious state, he saw Bai Huan standing on the side, and immediately had an idea, so he nodded and bowed to the man in black: "Are you Boss Jia's third brother from the mine? You see, this is indeed a misunderstanding, and it can't be explained clearly with so many people around. How about we go to the police station together and discuss it further?"

  It was easy to calm down the group, and Pan Chengjun quickly retreated back into the car. Looking at his subordinates, who had just been laughing and scolding recklessly, now all crying with gloomy faces, he also felt a surge of evil fire that could not be vented.

  However, compared to those scoundrels under his command, he still had some demeanor. After getting on the car, he didn't say a word and just stared at Bai Hua through the rearview mirror for a few seconds.

  The puppy is unlucky by itself, don't blame me!

  ……

  "Please, please sit down." Pan Chengjun nodded and bowed, ushering the people into their temporary office. He then turned back to the door and gave a few low-voiced instructions to one of his subordinates. Seeing that person's sudden shocked expression, Pan Chengjun's face suddenly turned stern, and he glared at him fiercely. It wasn't until the person came back to himself, swallowing hard and nodding repeatedly as he backed away, that Pan Chengjun collected himself and returned to the office with a more subdued demeanor.

  Then, without waiting for the two men sitting on the sofa to speak, Pan Chengjun hastily stepped forward and apologized: "Third brother is good, this is Mr. Jia's young master, right? I am Pan Chengjun from Jiangnan. Today's matter is like this - in our team, there is a student who relies on being a university student and likes to think he is superior, never listening to orders! Just now when beating the dog, he was the first to take action..."

  ……

  After returning to the City Management Bureau, Bai Huan had changed his clothes and was planning to go out for dinner.

  The law enforcement team, of course, has working meals, but that group of people eats every time and makes a big fuss. Bai Huan would rather eat a vegetarian meal than go with the flow, so at noon he acts alone, which has become a habit.

  And the recent incident is obviously not something that can be easily resolved. He doesn't like Pan Chengjun and his gang, but he also has no good feelings towards the private mine owners, as long as both sides don't bother him, he doesn't care how they deal with each other.

  "Hey, White, our boss Pan is looking for you!" Just as Bai Huan was about to leave, he was called out by a young policeman with a sloppy tone. However, Bai Huan didn't expect these people to be polite either, and furrowed his brow as he headed towards the office.

  However, he and Pan Chengjun's gang usually didn't have much communication. Now the other party took the initiative to come over, and it was after making a mistake. All sorts of abnormalities made Bai Huan also secretly produce some vigilance.

  ……

  "It's him, whatever you want to ask San Ge and Jia Shao Ye, just go ahead, if there are any requirements, we will definitely not cover up!" Bai Guang had just pushed the door into the office, and before he could stand still, he heard Pan Chengjun's flattering tone.

  "Are you the one who started it, messing with our Dongzi's dog?" Seeing Bai Huan enter the house, the man in black measured him up and down a few times before speaking slowly: "So how do you plan to resolve this?"

  The tone of speech was as if casually interrogating a household slave, full of a sense of entitlement.

  "What's the first move?" Standing in the center of the room, being stared at by four or five people with ill intentions, Bai Huan remained calm: "Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

  The young man who was working at Zhu Fang Ge's place suddenly jumped up with a gloomy face after hearing this.

  The several black T-shirts standing behind the two of them also had thick necks and bulging eyes that stared over.

  "Bai Xiaodi, at this point, you're still pretending to be innocent? It's meaningless! Seeing that his reversed words had taken effect, Pan Chengjun jumped up and down with even more energy: "It was the dog we beat earlier. If you hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on using force, things wouldn't have ended up like this. This dog belongs to Boss Jia, it has an owner, you can negotiate with them yourself to see how to resolve this!"

  Splashing dirty water? Framing someone? Bai Huang's eye corner muscles twitched, and he roughly understood what had just happened.

  With a cold glance, Pan Chengjun was trying to control his emotions, but the sarcasm in his small eyes couldn't be concealed.

  Next to him stood his two trusted younger brothers, with a smug expression on their ferret-like faces. They seemed to be proud of their big brother's behavior of biting back at others.

  The three black T-shirts from the Jia family stepped forward. Breaking someone's arm was something they had done many times before, and now their eyes fixed on Bai Huan were full of undisguised warning and threat.

  "So that's how it is." Just as Pan Chengjun thought his sinister plan had succeeded, Bai Huan sighed: "Captain Pan, are you sure I made the first move? And didn't you guys advise me beforehand?"

  "Huh?" The smile on the leader's face was a bit unnatural, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Alright, Bai Xiao Di, everyone in the team can come out and testify to this. Your excuses are useless. You'd better apologize sincerely to San Ge and them, and see how you're going to compensate them."

  In his opinion, Bai Huan should be flustered and at a loss now!

  But this kid was surprisingly calm and collected, which made him even more annoyed because of his own unease.

  Fortunately, someone couldn't hold back and jumped out. Jia Xudong, who had been gloomy since he appeared, had lost his patience. He rushed forward a few steps, stretched out his index finger, and repeatedly poked at Bai Huan's chest: "Where did this little B come from? Still pretending in front of me? I'm telling you! Be honest with yourself. If you hit with your left hand, stretch out your left hand, if you hit with your right hand, stretch out your right hand."

  Pan Chengjun finally felt at ease now, with an expression that said "dare you pretend to be sophisticated again in the future".

  He's in trouble now that he's offended the young master of the Jia family! From what Jia Xudong said, it seems like he wants to teach Bai Hua a lesson.

  "What if I had hit both hands? Which one should I stretch out first?"

  Just as everyone in the house thought Bai Huan was about to give up and couldn't stir up any more trouble, the young man who had been silent all along suddenly hooked his mouth and threw out this sentence.

  Jia Xudong was taken aback and suddenly burst into anger: "You little B, you're not innocent!"

  Then came a slap in the face, just looking at his rounded arm posture, afraid that he would not want to knock out a few of Bai Huan's teeth.

  At this moment, however, the only person sitting still in the room was Hei Xiu San Ge, whose heart skipped a beat and could no longer smile.

  Four or five seconds later, others came back to their senses. After Pan Chengjun and several others were shocked, they couldn't help but take a cold breath of joy, while the black T-shirts changed color one after another, but didn't dare to move at all.

  All eyes were focused on Bai Huan and Jia Xudong, who was standing in front of him with his arms twisted behind his back.

  This violent second-generation rich liked to solve problems with his fists and feet, but at this moment he was painfully "hiss" inhaling, however what made his face turn pale was the sharp stinging pain coming from the side of his neck.

  A large iron nail with rust spots, which was picked up by Bai Huan from the windowsill and put into his pocket when he just came in. He has always believed in the proverb "be prepared against the unexpected".

  No one expected that this person was still a student, yet he made his move without any warning signs. Moreover, if he didn't make a move, it would be fine, but once he did, it was ruthless and swift, even "Third Brother", a veteran of the underworld, was left speechless for a moment.

  After a while, he calmed down, but the carefree expression had long been thrown to the back of his mind, replaced by a cold face: "Little brother, you're quite bold, really not small!"

  Bai Huar didn't even bother with him. Just now, looking at Jia Xudong's stance when he slapped that palm, it was clearly going for the purpose of beating to death or crippling.

  There was also the scar that Zhang had gotten from that one kick earlier, and Bai Huan still remembered it vividly. He didn't plan on using his own gums to test the explosive power of this little scrapper's upper limb strikes.

  The situation just now made it clear that he couldn't retreat half a step.

  Furthermore, Bai Hua is not acting blindly. Although the Jia family has some influence in Xijiang City, it's impossible for them to make a big deal out of this at the Urban Management Bureau. As soon as he leaves this room, he will rush back to Zhu Fang Pavilion - earlier when Pan Chengjun and his gang were beating the dog, he noticed that many people took out their phones to take pictures. As long as he finds one or two onlookers who have recording evidence, he can buy their SD cards with some money and expose Pan Chengjun's slander.

  After being slandered, Bai Huan thought of this trick in the first place, but Jia Xudong's temper was arrogant and hasty, and he didn't ask for the reason and prepared to take action, which made him have no chance to defend himself. Moreover, he also had a layer of worry, if he said this method out loud, it's hard to guarantee that Pan Chengjun wouldn't instruct someone to take action first.

  Bai Guangke had no intention of putting his personal safety on the line for someone else's heroic deeds, especially not when it came to opposing a group of social outcasts.

  As for the Jia family still being concerned about face at that time, Bai Hua was also unafraid.

  These people only know how to save face for themselves, but never think about why others have to suffer and be humiliated. If they hadn't taken Jia Xudong as a hostage, would they have been able to walk out of this room unscathed?

  "White Little Brother..."

  On the other side, Pan Chengjun also wanted to interject and curry favor with the Jia family, but was disdainfully glanced at by Bai Hua: "Next time we meet, if I don't beat you out of your wits, it'll be a miracle."

  As soon as the words came out, Pan Chengjun was choked and almost suffocated, his face turned red and black, but he didn't dare to be as unbridled as Bai Huan in front of the Jia family.

  "Alright! Alright!" Third Brother's face had completely lost its smile, he coldly stared at Bai Huan, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light: "Today I won't make things difficult for you, let go of Dongzi and I'll let you leave."

  Although this person set a trap in the conversation, Bai Huan didn't think much of it. After the truth came to light, he would find his classmate's uncle to mediate and intervene, and at that time, Pan Chengjun's group would be the ones who suffered.

  With Jia Xudong in hand, Pan Chengjun's subordinates didn't dare to make trouble either, and they watched as Bai Huan left.

  ……

  Bai Huan, who had safely escaped, circled back to Zhu Fang Ge's side and asked many people in front of and behind him. His mouth was almost worn out when he finally bought an SD card from an old man walking his bird.

  "I've got it all on camera, crystal clear! My phone's camera has high pixels!" The man patted his chest to guarantee.

  But in the end, he couldn't beat Bai Huan, and only because this kid was willing to spend 150 yuan on an old card did he reluctantly agree to go with him to the nearest internet cafe.

  It's also a big profit, and when the time comes to buy a new card, there will still be 70 or 80 yuan left over, so the cost of playing mahjong in the afternoon is covered.

  But Bai Guang never thought that he was being extremely careful, yet not far behind him, under the shade of a tree, two bald and shirtless men were sneaking up on him.
