204 The Shrew (2/2)

Standing close by, Ma Pijin sneered, ”What else could they say? They definitely told him off and put him in his place with a stern warning. It's not like they were going to reward him.”

Xiao Luo glared coldly at Ma Pijin then said in a calm but threatening tone, ”You better hold your tongue unless you want me to introduce my knuckles to your teeth!”

”You're a lout!”

Ma Pijin did worry that Xiao Luo would actually beat him up. He threw a quick comment before promptly removing himself from harm's way.

Liu Tieguo looked at Ma Pijin slinking away, and with a look of disgust and said to Xiao Luo, ”He is just an annoying *ss-kisser. You don't need to be bothered by him. This kind of person is no different from those fat flies that can be found on smelly piles of sh*t.”

Xiao Luo smiled. Needless to say, he wasn't paying any attention to Ma Pijin, and only threatened him to get under his skin.

”By the way, what on earth did the station chief and the instructor say? They didn't say they're going to punish you, did they?” Liu Tieguo asked with grave concern.

Xiao Luo curled up his lips and said, ”Don't worry, brother Guo. Everything is fine.”

As he was speaking, he couldn't help noticing that a rude, boorish woman scolding the police officer who was questioning her at his desk.

”Take out your evidence if you have any. If you don't have any proof to show I stole anything, you better let me go immediately. Otherwise, I will get a lawyer and sue you for unlawful custody!”

Behaving with unbearable insolence, her harsh voice was so loud and disturbing that it could be heard from all corners of the entire substation.

After catching a glimpse of Xiao Luo staring at her, she immediately thumped on the table and yelled up a storm, ”D*mn you auxiliary police. What are you looking like? Have you never seen a beautiful woman like me?”

Xiao Luo frowned, turning to Liu Tieguo, who was next to him, and asked, ”What's the deal with this woman?”

”She stole a wallet. The surveillance camera caught footage of her. But they couldn't find the wallet that she took. You see, even Old Zhang is too afraid to speak loudly. This woman is so difficult to deal with.” Liu Tieguo whispered to Xiao Luo.

The Old Zhang Liu Tieguo referred to was the police officer who was questioning the woman. He was counting down his days to retirement and didn't care to make any slips that would affect his pension. In such a situation, he would instead let the guilty ones go rather than risk making a wrongfully arrest.

”Turns out to be a female thief.” Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, feeling a pang of disappointment, frustrated by the ways of the world.

The woman thought she could escape from the charge of theft if she behaved churlishly, to add to her fierce and unreasonable personality. She was quite sure that Xiao Luo was a newcomer who could be pushed around. She had noticed that he was only a young auxiliary police officer, fair in complexion, and had a face she had never seen before.

Picking up from where she left off moments ago, she vented her anger directly on Xiao Luo and said, ”Hey, I was talking to you, you damn auxiliary police. Don't you pretend to be deaf! How did a suckling of a boy like you become a police officer? Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to police forces with your stupid look? Hey... still playing dead and pretending you can't hear me? F*ck your mother and all of your families...”

Xiao Luo was viciously cursed with such venom for merely taking a glance at her.

Many other auxiliary police officers in the substation were furious at the treatment he got. Only Ma Pijin took great pleasure and satisfaction from watching the commotion.

But Xiao Luo was no pushover. He walked straight up to the woman and stared down at her from a height. His cold, chiseled face filled with disdain. He said, ”Are you a shrew yelling abuse in the street? Unfortunately, this is not the street. It's the police station. You better behave yourself. Otherwise...”

”Otherwise, what? Are you going to lynch me?”

The woman suddenly shot up from her chair, screaming at the top of her lungs, her expression uncouth and ill-bred, ”You d*mn auxiliary police, I'm setting myself against you right now! If you can't find evidence to prove that I stole the wallet, I will definitely hire lawyers to sue you and your sh*tty police station!”

”You really think I wouldn't do anything to you?” Xiao Luo said in a cold voice.

The woman felt an anxious fear creeping upon her. But she was emboldened and confident that the young auxiliary officer in front of her wouldn't dare to lay his hands on her. She climbed on her chair and stared eye-to-eye at Xiao Luo angrily, and sneered, ”Good. Come on. Hit me. You're f*cking bastard if you dare!”
