How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 44 He said he was itching for a beating.
"Squad leader, squad leader, what's wrong with you?"

A constable slumped to the ground, holding the unconscious Chief Chen and howling. He was covered in blood and flesh. Was this still the mighty and domineering Chief Chen in his mind?
He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "What have you done?"

For the arriving constables, the scene before them was like the sky falling; this Lin fellow was truly lawless, utterly lawless.

Yang Ming stood blankly at the prison gate, his mouth slightly agape, staring at the scene.

Hearing the commotion, he came out to see what was happening, and what he saw stunned him. He saw Brother Lin whipping Chen, who was running away with his head in his hands. He was really going all out and showing no mercy.

At this moment, Song Qing arrived. Seeing so many constables gathered here, he was startled and hurriedly pushed through the crowd. What came into view was the extremely miserable appearance of Chief Chen, and Lin Fan holding a blood whip.

He knew what had happened without even thinking.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"What's going on?" Chief Song asked.

"What happened? Ask him."

Chen's confidante, like a mad lioness, felt sorry for and sympathized with her boss, and grabbed his hand tightly.

Lin Fan said, "Squad leader, this is what happened. Early this morning, I was interrogating a prisoner in the cell. As soon as I came out of the cell, I saw Squad Leader Chen rushing over. He said he was itching for a beating and asked me to whip him. Then he stuck to the corner of the wall. That's what happened."

"You're talking nonsense!" shouted Chen's henchman.

Lin Fan shrugged indifferently, saying, "That's just how it is. Believe it or not."

Song Qing coughed a few times and said, "Alright, what he said is probably true. My subordinate is a bit short-tempered, but he is sincere and never bothers to lie. It's just strange that Chief Chen has developed such a strange habit. It's really strange."

"You're talking nonsense too!" Chen Bantou's henchman roared again.

"presumptuous."

Headman Song angrily rebuked him, saying that a mere constable dared to speak so disrespectfully to him, the headman, which was utterly arrogant and audacious.

The confidant, head bowed, shouted to those around him, "What are you all standing there for? The stretcher, the stretcher!"

They all followed Chen Bantou.

Now that their leader has been humiliated and assaulted, they want to stand up for him, but they know that the man surnamed Lin is terrifying and they are no match for him. They just want to wait for their leader to wake up before making any decisions.

"They're here, the stretcher's here."

Four constables hurried over with a stretcher, carefully placed the squad leader on it, and quickly carried the stretcher to the clinic.

With a tearing sound.

The stretcher couldn't support Chen Bantou's weight and broke, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Ah... squad leader."

The constables screamed at the top of their lungs.

After a while.

It's quiet now.

Song, the squad leader, shook his head. "Lin Fan, doing this means you've completely broken ties with Chen, the squad leader."

"We've already broken off relations long ago," Lin Fan said cheerfully. He didn't take Chen Xingzhi seriously; the only advantage the other party had over him was his status. "Head of the squad, look at my current merits. I should be able to get promoted from a commoner to a full-fledged constable, right?"

"Yes, no problem. For a commoner to be promoted to a regular constable, all that's needed is to have some merit. I'll write a letter of recommendation and submit it to the clerk. It shouldn't be a problem," said Chief Song.

Yang Ming was very envious.

Although he was already a formal constable.

But it took a long time, mainly because I didn't have enough merit, and the clerk was difficult to talk to. Chief Chen kept secretly making things difficult for me. If it weren't for the fact that I made merit with Brother Lin's help some time ago, my path to promotion would probably not have been so easy.

Lin Fan looked at the squad leader and Yang Ming.

Their faction is too small, and its members are practically useless.

On the other hand, Chen Bantou's side had many constables, most of whom followed him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, squad leader," Lin Fan said.

Song nodded without saying anything more.

At this moment, Lin Fan took Yang Ming away from the police station and went to the dock first. He then gathered his brothers to continue patrolling and sweeping the city. The petty thieves and scoundrels met their most terrifying nemesis in their lives.

His purpose in doing this was to enhance his prestige and leave a good impression on the people. His actions during this period had indeed given the people a good impression, but that was far from enough. What he wanted was for the entire city to hear the name Lin Fan.

Everyone immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed "Fantastic!"

……

Tavern.

The once bustling tavern is now deserted. Inside, the tavern owner sits there listlessly, looking around with a dazed expression. He had thought things would gradually get better.

But who could have imagined that something like this would happen?

The neighbors all knew that Old Wang, the tavern owner, was in trouble, but they were just ordinary people and couldn't do much to help. All they could do was offer a few words of comfort.

"Old Wang, we can't beat them. Once Xiao Hao is released, let's start living a good life again and stop thinking about those other things."

"Corrupt officials, they're all corrupt officials, beasts, a bunch of beasts!"

The neighbors were furious, but their anger quickly subsided when they saw a man standing at the door—a constable. This caused them to lower their heads, unable to meet his gaze.

They were afraid that the other party would overhear what they had just said and beat them up.

Whether they were commoners or official constables, in the eyes of ordinary people, they were people who could not be provoked, because they had knives and power. With just a few words, they could ruin a family and cause death, and even praying to Buddha or Grandma would be useless.

Xu Ming walked into the tavern.

Old Wang, who had been looking down and listless, suddenly raised his head, rushed to Xu Ming, and pleaded, "Officer, I've given you the formula. When are you going to release my son? I'm not making a fuss anymore. I've given you everything. I just want my son out."

The recipe was the culmination of his hard work.

He was robbed in broad daylight, so he naturally had to fight back, but the other party's methods were too ruthless, and he couldn't resist at all. Taking his son was like holding his lifeline in one hand.

Xu Ming looked at Old Wang in front of him, and then at the group of people with their heads down. Although they had their heads down, he could feel the contempt and disgust in their eyes.

He didn't handle the tavern incident.

It wasn't him who took over.

When he first entered the police station, he was full of fighting spirit, but the people he arrested were released not long afterward, and they even gave him the middle finger in front of him to mock him.

While walking home at night, he was even ambushed and attacked.

He was beaten black and blue.

Gradually, he accepted it, and his once passionate heart gradually died down, and he went with the flow.

Xu Ming said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, things have changed. The higher-ups want to add charges against your son because he bit the young master of the Hu family. I can't make that decision."

"what……"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper collapsed to the ground, nearly fainting, but fortunately Xu Ming helped him up.

The people who came to comfort him clenched their fists, wishing they could beat the constable to death on the spot.

"Officer, please help me! Please help me! I'll sell all my possessions and I'll thank you properly." The shopkeeper only had one son, and upon hearing that he was to be punished, he couldn't sit still.

Xu Ming said, "I can't help you. I'm only here to remind you that if you really want to overturn the case, you have to find one person."

"Who, who are you looking for?"

"Lin Fan, go find him, go find him and plead your case. Maybe it will be of some use."

Xu Ming thought about what had just happened. If the other party dared to beat up even Chen Bantou, what else wouldn't they dare to do?

After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring the shopkeeper's desperate pleas.

The shopkeeper looked at everyone, at a loss.

"Old Wang, I think I've heard of this Lin Fan. He's arrested a lot of people recently. People say he's an upright and incorruptible official."

"I think things are complicated. In my opinion, this is nothing more than a struggle caused by the uneven distribution of their interests. There is no such thing as integrity or justice. It's just a struggle."

"Why don't you give it a try, Lao Wang?"

"The Hu family has a distinguished background; they're considered a prominent family around here. Could a mere bailiff really accomplish this?"

"If he can really get justice for Old Wang, I'll eat shit in public."
