The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 235: A Grand Spectacle

He drove to Mao Mountain as fast as he could, but there was no such hurry on the return journey.

He slowly drove on the road back to Province Z.

His expression was grim as he drove.

Wang Changsheng was indeed a powerful enemy. If the black mirror had not shown its powers, his life might be at risk.

Wang Changsheng was badly injured and must be hiding somewhere to recuperate. He should not pose a danger in the near future, but it was hard to say once he was back at full strength.

He furrowed his brows and felt a headache.

Wang Changsheng was a future menace. There were more pressing matters to be worried about.

He had beaten up several police officers the day before and caused a big ruckus on the road. He might already be wanted by the police, and he would definitely be arrested if he went back to Province Z.

He pondered the issue for a while, then stopped by the roadside and removed all the jade talismans from his car.

Then, he got back into the car and continued his journey back.

He passed through a tollbooth. The tollbooth attendant regarded him curiously. He must have been recognized.

Tang Hao was not worried. He continued to calmly drive back toward his destination.

Two hours later, he arrived at the province boundary.

Tang Hao was shocked when he looked into the distance.

Police cars were positioned side by side at the tollbooth ahead, and police officers waited in formation. It was an awe-inspiring sight.

‘Is there a need for this grand spectacle?’ Tang Hao was speechless.

He did not think that he deserved such a grand welcome. He only beat up the police officers because they were trying to frame him.

“Tang Hao! You have been surrounded, and there is no escape! Stop the car now and do not resist. Otherwise, there will be consequences!” Zhao Wuyang shouted through a megaphone.

Tang Hao slowed down his car and eventually stopped.

Whoosh!

The police officers, led by Zhao Wuyang, surrounded his car.

“Get out of the car!” Zhao Wuyang roared.

Tang Hao complied.

“You are under arrest, Tang Hao!” Zhao Wuyang roared. He produced a pair of handcuffs and slapped them on Tang Hao’s wrists.

Then, he turned around and looked at Tang Hao’s car.

The police officers crowded closer around the car. They had curious and doubtful expressions on their faces as they inspected it.

Some of the police officers reached out and touched the car as though it was something extraordinary.

“So, is this the flying car?”

“It looks no different than a normal car. How can it fly?”

Some police officers opened up the hood to inspect it closely, while others opened the doors and went inside.

Everyone was confused.

It was an Audi A8, as normal as it could be. There was nothing special about it.

“This is very strange!” The police officers could not figure out what was going on as they inspected every inch of the car.

Zhao Wuyang went behind the car and was shocked. He could see the registration plate clearly.

“What trickery is this? I can see the registration plate clearly now!” Zhao Wuyang asked Tang Hao.

“What are you saying, Officer? I don’t understand!” Tang Hao pretended to be oblivious.

“Don’t play dumb with me, kid!” Zhao Wuyang said sternly.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Officer. Ah! Also, I’ll be filing a complaint about you and a few of your colleagues, Officer Zhao. You’ve abused your powers and tried to frame me.”

Zhao Wuyang was shocked, then looked angry. “What are you talking about, you filthy kid? How did I frame you?”

“Isn’t that so? You got your colleague to beat himself up and attempted to pin the crime on me.

“A normal person would want to run away when they’re met with such injustice, and I’m just acting like how a normal person would. Is that a crime?

“So, what are you arresting me for?”

Zhao Wuyang was at a loss for a reply.

He thought it was quite amusing that the kid was grasping at straws!

“What do you mean, we’re falsely accusing you of assaulting the police? You indeed assaulted my fellow police officer and ran away. Dozens of police cars were wrecked. You’re also responsible for that.

“Also, I strongly suspect that you are involved in the disappearance of Gao Wenqiang. I will bring you back for interrogation now.”

Tang Hao chuckled. “Are you an idiot, Officer?”

“You...” Zhao Wuyang gritted his teeth. Veins bulged on his forehead.

‘This kid is too arrogant!’

“What are you trying to say? Speak it!” The police officers that were crowding around him were also angry.

Tang Hao spoke coldly, “Officer, you should know that my residential area has CCTV surveillance. Your actions have all been captured by the cameras.

“Of course, I’ve already gotten someone to make a backup of the recording. It’s too late for you to delete it.

“Also, you can suspect me all you want, but do you have any actual evidence? If you don’t, I suggest that you don’t wrongly accuse the innocent.”

Zhao Wuyang gritted his teeth out of anger.

“Bring him away!” He roared.

Tang Hao laughed coldly. “Are you sure you want to do that, Officer Zhao? Be ready to bear the consequences!”

Zhao Wuyang was livid.

“Why are you still standing there? Bring him away now!”

Two police officers brought Tang Hao into a police car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the city police station.

Tang Hao was brought into an interrogation room.

Tang Hao sat on the chair calmly. He did not say a word, no matter what Zhao Wuyang asked him.

Zhao Wuyang became angrier and angrier. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up. “Dammit, are you mute? Why aren’t you saying anything?

“Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you keep quiet! I know that you have some money, but don’t you think that you’re invincible! You’ll beg for death when I’m done with you!”

Tang Hao remained silent.

“Dammit, turn off the cameras!” Zhao Wuyang’s face was red with anger.

“Calm down, Captain Zhao!” The police officers next to him tried to persuade him.

“Calm down my *ss! Can’t you see how arrogant this kid is? I’m not called Zhao if I don’t kill this kid today!” Zhao Wuyang roared and prepared to head to the control room.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar from outside the interrogation room. “Who do you want to kill today, Captain Zhao? Don’t forget that this is a police station, and you, as a police officer, ought to be careful of what you say.”

The door to the interrogation room opened and a middle-aged man walked in.

“Deputy Superintendent!”

All the police officers in the room were shocked and stood up in attention.

Zhao Wuyang was surprised as well. “Why are you here, Deputy Superintendent?”

“Hmph! You don’t know what trouble you’re getting yourself into! I’ve heard all about the incident. You don’t have any actual evidence, right? Why are you arresting people then? Haven’t you learned your lesson?

“Also, look at what you’ve done.”

He handed Zhao Wuyang his tablet. There was a video playing on it. It was the security footage of the incident at Tang Hao’s residential area.

“Look at the comments. The citizens are saying that the police are abusing the rule of law and arresting innocent people. This is a serious matter! You’re ruining the reputation of the police.

“Officer Zhao, you are suspended with immediate effect. Go home and reflect on what you have done. When you’ve finally realized what you did wrong, you can return to your job.”

Zhao Wuyang trembled and his face turned as pale as a sheet.
