When Yang Lei entered the police station, he was still carrying the luggage he brought to the provincial capital.
He didn’t even remain in the provincial capital for a minute. Yan Ziyi listened to a few of his words and gave him one sentence: “Hurry and go!”
“Oh! Xiao Lei came?” The police officer in the public security bureau office saw Yang Lei walk in, and warmly greeted him.
“Xiao Lei, you haven’t been here in a long time? Why, did you miss us?”
“Bullshit, can Xiao Lei miss you? More like he missed our chief!”
“What’s the matter, Xiao Lei? What heroic thing did you do again? When are you going to be good?”…
The police all very affectionately came over to put their arms around Yang Lei’s shoulder, laughing and joking.
“Get out of here, and go catch your prostitutes!” Yang Lei turned his head, “Yong Ge, new hairstyle? It’s cool!” “Lu-zi, still eating? Your ass can’t even fit on the chair!” “Uncle Mao, Uncle Zhang! You’re all here! …”
Yang Lei smilingly greeted the policemen one by one.
He was very familiar with this place. Familiar since he was young.
Although Yang Lei’s whole face was dusty, his complexion wasn’t very good, and his heart was extremely anxious, he really didn’t let this show. He easily nodded and smiled at those policemen who greeted him and patted his shoulder the whole way.
After a few pleasantries, Yang Lei pulled out cigarettes, threw them around, and lit one himself.
“…Is he alright?”
Yang Lei exhaled smoke, before he asked.
The police officer called Lu-zi was a little awkward.
“Your phone call was a little late…” Lu-zi muttered, “If you had called last night, he wouldn’t have suffered…”
Yang Lei’s heart sank.
“What did he suffer?”
Yang Lei’s voice sank.
Yong Ge came over and hugged Yang Lei’s shoulder.
“You also know the routine. It all can’t be left out. But don’t worry. After we got your phone call, no one dared to touch him again. I kept watch for you! Got him a single room to rest in, and I saw the wounds he had. Come, I’ll bring you there now.”
Yang Lei followed Yong Ge to the back. Once they walked outside, Yong Ge spoke.
“Lei-zi, this matter wasn’t done by our police branch. None of our people did it.”
“Who did it?” Yang Lei asked.
“Sun Ke. He’s new. You probably don’t know him. He’s with Director Zhou. It’s fine as long as you understand,” Yong Ge said.
Yong Ge pushed open the door of a lounge. Yang Lei walked in.
The day before, when he parted with Fang Yu in the afternoon, Fang Yu was wearing the white dress shirt that they had bought together. That snow white dress shirt was so bright under the sunlight that it was dazzling, looking extremely clean and bright. Against Fang Yu’s handsome smiling face, it shone like it could reflect light.
But now, this dress shirt no longer looked like a white dress shirt at all.
Horrifying bloodstains, filth, and hand and foot prints made it unrecognizable. Fang Yu lay there unconscious. He was completely silent, completely unresponsive.
Yang Lei immediately looked at Yong Ge.
“He’s asleep. He’s a man. He stuck it out for a night,” Yong Ge explained quietly.

After a moment of silence, Yang Lei stood up and walked out the room, quietly closing the door.
“Yong Ge, do me a favor. Give me clean clothes. My brother likes being clean,” Yang Lei said, quite calmly.
“Okay, I’ll go immediately.” Yong Ge looked at Yang Lei’s expression, his heart uneasy.
“That Sun Ke, where is his office?” Yang Lei asked.
Yong Ge studied his expression.
“Lei-zi, don’t mess around. No matter what, this is still the police station.”
“Can I?” Yang Lei even smiled.
“If I bring him away, I have to let him know. It’s courtesy.”
Sun Ke was a young public servant who had recently been transferred from the local police station to the Public Security Bureau on probation. This promotion was very important to him.
If he could stay in the Public Security Bureau once the probationary period was over, then his career would be smooth. At least, it would be more promising than staying in a small police station.
So once this Sun Ke came, he hugged Director Zhou’s thigh, and hugged Zhou Er’s thigh as well. Sun Ke had never dealt with a noteworthy case. If he wanted to climb up, he had to take the way of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
So when Zhou Er told him to handle this matter with Fang Yu, Sun Ke’s heart was extremely willing.
Why wouldn’t he be willing? Who was Fang Yu? A famous gangster throughout the whole city. There were also records in the Public Security Bureau. People like Yan Ziyi, Luo Jiu, and Fang Yu were all key targets to monitor. How many years had they been recorded? Could the PSB not know Fang Yu?
Fang Yu was now a restaurant boss who did proper business and hadn’t caused trouble in a long time. However, because he had angered Zhou Er, Sun Ke could please Zhou Er by dealing with him, and he could also gain a good reputation of eradicating an evil force in society. Why wouldn’t Sun Ke do good by killing two birds with one stone like this?
As for who was responsible for the bloody case in the Grand Century Hotel, this wasn’t important. This was just a pretext. Sun Ke had long thought about how this case should be ruled. No matter who was the real criminal, Fang Yu wouldn’t be able to escape.
Who told Fang Yu to also not be a good person? Wanting to sentence a gangdom fighter like Fang Yu was too easy.
When Sun Ke investigated Fang Yu, he only examined. He didn’t ask.
As for how he conducted the examination, how the PSB wanted to examine, and how they would actually examine, outsiders would never know every detail.
Besides, Sun Ke had come up from the police station. As an unfitting comparison, the PSB to the police station was like the difference between a bandits’ lair and a mountain fortress.
A mountain fortress had some rules, norms, and restrictions. A bandit’s lair was just very chaotic and ruthless, where anything goes. It was completely dog-eat-dog.
Sun Ke couldn’t handle cases, but he was a master of dealing with people.
Yong Ge would later disclose some of how Fang Yu had stuck out that night to Yang Lei. Of course, that was much later. At the moment, Yang Lei didn’t need to listen. His eyes had already seen it.
When Yang Lei entered Sun Ke’s office, Sun Ke was filling out a form.
It was his work appraisal for the public servant probationary period. As long as “recommended” was written on this appraisal, stamped with a red seal, and then signed by a director, his transfer was pretty much guaranteed.
While Sun Ke was writing, Yang Lei came in. Yang Lei first greeted several familiar faces in the office. Sun Ke raised his head and saw Yang Lei, but he didn’t know who he was. He ignored him, but Yang Lei came over to him, with a slight smile on his face.
“Brother, are you busy?”
Yang Lei threw him a cigarette.
Sun Ke caught it and studied him suspiciously. Yang Lei asked Yong Ge to find clothes, and he came in alone. Sun Ke couldn’t figure out his background.
“Oh, you’re writing your appraisal?”
Yang Lei leaned onto the desk and picked up Sun Ke’s form. He smoked as he squinted and looked.
Sun Ke was a little confused. Yang Lei’s easygoing nature was natural. He could make people unable to reject him.
“This performance is definitely a model. It has to be!” Yang Lei flicked the paper, still squinting.
“Are you… here for business?”
Sun Ke was also confused. Seeing that Yang Lei was very familiar here, Sun Ke didn’t know his intention.
“Yes,” Yang Lei said.
“It’s nothing much. Yesterday, one of my brothers came in. A blood brother. Didn’t I come to help the police investigate? I came to provide important leads. Yesterday, at the Grand Century Restaurant, someone took the lead to cause trouble and disturb public order. It’s that Zhou Er! Do you know Zhou Er? Let me tell you, I really have to report him. He smashed the Grand Century Restaurant into a wreck. There’s no way to say it! Everyone saw this matter! The streets are filled with witnesses! You have to investigate well. And those two lying in the hospital, one made the first move. I know our rules for handling cases. The responsibility of the one who made the first move is not the same! Right? You also have to investigate that well. Also, my brother wasn’t at the scene and was locked up for a night. That troublemaker Zhou Er must also definitely be locked up here at your place, right? Bring me to see him, and I’ll ask about yesterday’s matter again. And do you have his investigation record and whatnot here? Bring them all. It’s good to do things according to the rules. There are traces that can be checked, and bad people can’t run away! It just increased your workload. I’m quite apologetic. How about this, I have a few friends in the TV station and newspaper office. I’ll ask them to help investigate as well. You don’t need to thank me. The people love the police of the people. Helping with handling a case is our duty. We must!”
There was a slight smile on Yang Lei’s face, and he was extremely earnest. He sincerely said all these words, without a pause or room for interruption. Sun Ke was dumbfounded.
When Yang Lei spoke, the other policemen in the office were all holding back their smiles, looking at Sun Ke coldly.
Most of the police were good and decent people. After all, people like Sun Ke were in the minority. These police officers had long disliked this Sun Ke. Seeing this scene, no one came out to speak up and help him!
Sun Ke was angry. He could hear Yang Lei’s sarcasm, and he was too disgraced.
“Who are you? Why are you blabbering here?” Sun Ke was embarrassed. “Get out!” Sun Ke lost his patience first.
Yang Lei didn’t come to beat people up, and he didn’t come to push people down. He came here to speak reason. The reason first had to be made clear, and then the later things would be dealt with. Every one of Yang Lei’s sentences was reasonable. He was very clear about how to handle matters properly here. Not a single one of his words could be used against him, and they didn’t give the other party any opportunity to bite back at him.
Outside, you fought with your fists. Here, you not only fought with power, but also intelligence and manipulation.
“Ah, Sun Ke. This is our own people. I’ll introduce him. Yang Lei, Xiao Lei!” A police officer heard that something was wrong with Sun Ke’s tone and kindly reminded him.
“Our own people? Look at his slovenly appearance!” Sun Ke was anxious to find a way out. “Whose friend is this?”
No one minded him, all waiting to watch a good show.
“Enough! I won’t delay your work. I just came to tell you, I’m bringing him away first. If you want to deal with other matters in the future, come find me. This is my work phone.”
Yang Lei wrote a string of numbers on the calendar on Sun Ke’s desk and then picked up his work appraisal.
“You want to give this form to Yang Datian to sign, right? I’ll get him to sign it for you.”
Yang Lei finished speaking, took the form, and walked out.
“Return it to me!”
Sun Ke hurriedly chased him out the door, but he saw Yang Lei hold his work appraisal and stroll into the director’s office.
He didn’t knock. He directly pushed the door and entered.
“…” Sun Ke stopped.
He turned around and returned to the office, his expression alarmed and suspicious.
“…Who is he?” Sun Ke asked the other police in shock.
“You don’t even recognize him?” a colleague laughed mockingly.
“…I really don’t recognize him. Who is he?” When Sun Ke spoke these words, his heart was already drumming more and more.
“What is our director’s surname?”
“…Yang.”
Sun Ke was already sweating.
“Our director’s precious nephew,” another policeman gloated.
“Related by blood!” he emphasized.
Fang Yu was sent to the hospital by a police car that Yang Lei called for.
When Yang Lei walked into Fang Yu’s lounge again, Fang Yu felt movement and woke up.
His eyes were swollen. Fang Yu opened them with some difficulty. He saw Yang Lei and was surprised. His eyes instantly brightened, but there was also hesitation.
“…How did you get here?”
Fang Yu’s voice was hoarse as he propped himself up.
“I came to pick you up.” Yang Lei went over to support him, wanting to avoid his wounds, but he didn’t know where to put his hand.
Fang Yu was covered in bruises.
“…Come on, let’s go home.” Yang Lei’s voice didn’t seem to come from his throat.
Until they walked to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau where a police car was waiting to send them off, Fang Yu was hesitant. He glanced at Yang Lei and stood still. Yang Lei knew what he was worried about and said quietly by his ear: “Lao Liang is fine. Jiu Ge got you out.”
It was then that Fang Yu got into the car.
Not long after arriving at the hospital, Fang Yu came down with a fever.
With the internal and external wounds, along with the delayed treatment, the wounds had become inflamed and infected. Once his fever had started, it became burning hot.
Fang Yu was hooked up to an IV and fell into a deep sleep. Yang Lei was always at his bedside.
When he walked away, outside the car, Yang Lei had spoken a few sentences to Yong Ge and the others.
“Fang Yu is my brother. Blood brother,” Yang Lei said.
“His business is my business. Brothers, look over him more later.”
They all nodded. Yong Ge patted his shoulder.
“Okay, don’t worry.”
One police officer couldn’t hold back.
“Lei Ge, don’t blame me for saying something unpleasant. Don’t interact with these indecent gangsters. You’re always messing around like this. If something really happens, our Director Yang cares about you so much. You should also think about him.”
“Qiao Ming!” Yong Ge shouted at him to stop.
Yong Ge had been in the city’s public bureau for many years, and he was the closest with Yang Lei. Compared to other people, he knew more about Yang Lei’s situation, so he knew and understood.
Yang Lei didn’t explain anything.
“I’ll first thank you brothers. Later, if there is something having to do with Fang Yu, let me know. I promise that I won’t make it hard for you.”
“Definitely. Go!”
The police also admired tough men.
After that night, they could tell that Fang Yu was a man.
WOOP WOOP 🙌🏽
That lovely slap in the face was precious 🤙🏽
