Chapter 127: Chapter 0127: Who Is Here to Help_1
The helicopter’s door opened. Five fully armed men deftly jumped out. The man at the forefront was Zhao Dawei, with Qian Bing and Sun Tie among them. They were all dressed in suits that bulged underneath, clearly showing they were armed. They looked incredibly cool.
"Diao Hong, at your service, Commander," Diao Hong saluted respectfully, his face a mask of sycophancy. He had already recognized these men as members of the Special Action Team. On a mission, a team member outranked any officer by one level.
"You’re Diao Hong?" Zhao Dawei asked coldly. "Diao Hong of the Diao Clan?"
"Yes, Commander," Diao Hong replied respectfully.
"Arrest him," Zhao Dawei said flatly.
Qian Bing and Sun Tie rushed forward, slammed the man to the ground, and slapped handcuffs on him.
All the special police were stunned. Director Diao, still held fast by Zhang Bin, was utterly dumbfounded, hardly believing his eyes. Diao Hong himself was completely baffled and shouted angrily, "Commander, why are you arresting me? What crime have I committed?"
"You don’t know what crimes you’ve committed? You have to ask me?" Zhao Dawei looked at him as if he were an idiot, then thundered authoritatively, "I am Zhao Dawei, Captain of Special Action Team Squad Eight! And he, Zhang Bin, is an official member of Squad Eight! You have some nerve, daring to harm a team member’s family! Daring to tear down his house! Do you have any idea how much he has contributed to this country? Is this how you treat a national hero?"
The special police were stunned. Director Diao and Diao Hong were stunned. Zhang Bin is an official member of Special Action Team Squad Eight? How is that possible? How could it be? Wasn’t he just some guy who pulled strings to get a badge?
It wasn’t just them; Zhang Bin himself was astonished. When did I become an official member of Special Action Team Squad Eight? And are official members this prestigious? I could have just flashed my badge and scared them off a minute ago.
"I am here today to investigate the illegal activities of the Diao Clan. Therefore, all members of the Diao Clan are hereby relieved of their duties," Zhao Dawei declared coldly. With a wave of his hand, several team members rushed over and handcuffed Director Diao as well.
Zhao Dawei walked over and gave Zhang Bin a big bear hug. "Brother, I’m sorry I’m late."
"Brother, if you hadn’t come, I would’ve been in real trouble today," Zhang Bin said gratefully.
My goodness, how could this little peasant be on brotherly terms with Young Master Zhao? Our Diao Clan is in serious trouble... The thought flashed through the minds of Director Diao and Diao Hong, and expressions of pure fear appeared on their faces. For the first time, they realized that this little peasant, Zhang Bin, was not so easy to bully. In a crisis, not only did a hacker come to his aid, but someone as powerful and well-connected as Young Master Zhao also had his back. It seemed the Diao Clan had bitten off more than they could chew.
Who exactly is this little peasant? To have such a powerful brother... It’s over. The Diao Clan is in deep trouble, the special police officers thought, equally shocked as they stared at Zhang Bin as if he were a monster.
As for the villagers, they were all overcome with excitement and elation. Their hearts surged with satisfaction, and they had to resist the urge to shout for joy.
My brother’s friend is so amazing! He really put the Diao Clan in their place, Zhang Lele thought, her face flushed with excitement.
Father Zhang, Mother Zhang, Liu Ruolan, Liu Ruomei, Xiao Fang, Ma Rufei, and Tian Guangjin all let out a collective, silent sigh of relief, their worries finally settling.
"On my command, all special police and police officers, withdraw immediately!" Zhao Dawei ordered in an imposing tone.
"Yes, sir!" all the police and special police respectfully complied and quickly drove away.
As for Director Diao and Diao Hong, they were left handcuffed to tree trunks, completely ignored.
Once that was done, Zhao Dawei leaned in and whispered to Zhang Bin with a mischievous grin, "Brother, I was actually on my way to congratulate you on your housewarming. If I hadn’t already been on the road, ten minutes would never have been enough."
"Ah... Then why did you say you were here to investigate the Diao Clan’s crimes?" Zhang Bin asked, astonished.
"Hehe... Just to scare them. But honestly, we do have that power," Zhao Dawei said. "So this time, I really will investigate them. I’ll throw a few of the Diao Clan into jail just to give them a warning."
"Brother, you’re a real badass," Zhang Bin said, giving him a thumbs-up.
"Dawei, our Zhang family are honest people. We’ve always kept to ourselves," Mother Zhang said, walking over with her voice choked with emotion. "But the Diao Clan has bullied us again and again, trying to drive us to our deaths. You must get justice for us!" She naturally knew Zhao Dawei’s status was extraordinary and didn’t hesitate to seek his help.
"Auntie, don’t you worry. Zhang Bin is my brother. No one gets to bully him, not even the Diao Clan. If they really piss me off, I’ll uproot their entire clan," Zhao Dawei promised, pounding his chest. "To me, the Diao Clan is nothing."
"That’s good, that’s good..." Mother Zhang’s face lit up with a wide, relieved smile.
"Everyone, with Young Master Zhao on the case, the Diao Clan is like a dead fish! They can’t make any more waves! Let’s get back to celebrating the Zhang family’s housewarming! Get busy!" Ma Rufei shouted flamboyantly.
The villagers roared in agreement, laughing and giggling as they returned to their festive preparations.
Zhang Bin, however, walked up to Director Diao and Diao Hong, who were still handcuffed to the trees. He said mockingly, "Captain Diao, you really have a knack for haggling, I’m impressed. If you went into business, you’d make a fortune." He then turned to the other man. "Director Diao, you need to take care of your health. You really should get that impotence problem of yours treated."
The two men were so angry they nearly coughed up blood. Diao Hong glared at Zhang Bin like a venomous snake. "Zhang Bin, don’t get arrogant. You’ll come to a bad end for opposing our Diao Clan."
"You’ve got it backward. It’s your Diao Clan that’s opposing me, and you’re the ones who won’t have a good end. Just you wait and see," Zhang Bin retorted mockingly.
"You..."
Both men were so furious they were speechless. What Zhang Bin said was the truth. It was the Diao Clan that had constantly sought him out, antagonizing him with the sole purpose of seizing his two medicinal formulas.
"Your Diao Clan really is arrogant. Even in this state, you’re still making threats. Now I’ve seen it all," Zhao Dawei said as he casually strolled over. He stepped on Diao Hong’s face with his foot, grinding it into the dirt. "Arrogant, are we? Let’s see you keep it up."
Diao Hong didn’t dare act arrogant any longer. He began to beg for mercy, "Young Master Zhao, before you, I’m just a fart. Please, let me go!"
"Well said. You are just a fart, and your Diao Clan is just one big, stinking fart that disgusts everyone. Hahaha..." Zhao Dawei roared with laughter. "But let you go? That’s impossible. You must be punished according to the law."
"Hahaha..."
All the villagers and the Zhang family members joined in, laughing excitedly. They all felt a deep sense of vindication.
