Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

No matter how arrogant Wang Biao and his gang were, they were just a bunch of low-class thugs who were like mice before a cat when they saw the police.

Wang Biao, no longer caring about revenge against Liu Weidong, immediately turned and ran. Liu Weidong didn't think twice and immediately gave chase.

The other two thugs also struggled to get up, but Hao Jianjun kicked them both down again, and they couldn't get up.

Panicked and disoriented, Wang Biao tripped before he could run far and was quickly caught up by Liu Weidong.

Facing this guy with a weapon, Liu Weidong dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately performed a rear naked choke from behind.

In his previous life, after achieving success in his career, Liu Weidong studied martial arts for a period of time. His coach said he was quite talented, but unfortunately, he was too old to compete professionally. Unexpectedly, after being reborn, the martial arts techniques he learned in his previous life could still come in handy.

With his past life's fighting skills combined with his current youthful and strong physique, Liu Weidong easily subdued Wang Biao. At first, the guy tried to struggle, but due to cerebral ischemia, he quickly rolled his eyes back and lost consciousness completely.

Liu Weidong then released Wang Biao and kicked away the triangular scraper that had fallen beside him.

At the same time, the policeman caught up. He had seen everything that had just happened and gave Liu Weidong an approving look, saying, "Young man, I didn't know you were a martial arts expert!"

Liu Weidong humbly replied, "You flatter me. I'm just a self-taught practitioner."

Seeing that Liu Weidong was unwilling to admit it, the police did not say much and directly put handcuffs on Wang Biao.

Only then did Wang Biao slowly wake up and realize that he had been captured. He was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale. His legs were as weak as boiled noodles, and he was completely devoid of his previous arrogant demeanor.

The two men escorted Wang Biao back to the entrance of the rented house. Gouzi and another thug were already squatting against the wall with their heads in their hands, looking so skilled that it was heartbreaking.

The neighborhood committee director, Aunt Zheng, asked with concern, "Xiao Liu, are you alright?"

"We're all alright," Liu Weidong said gratefully to Aunt Zheng. "Thanks to you for calling the police, otherwise we would have been in real trouble today!"

Aunt Zheng waved her hand and said, "Oh, we're all neighbors, no need to be so polite. Maintaining public order is the responsibility of our neighborhood committee. How can we ignore bad guys when we see them? It's really quite a coincidence that Comrade Zhao Zheng from the police station happened to be here today to investigate the situation and caught three criminals along the way!"

It turned out that the police officer was Zhao Zheng, and Liu Weidong was immediately filled with respect.

Liu Weidong remembers clearly that not long after the Spring Festival, Zhao Zheng heroically sacrificed his life while pursuing a vicious criminal. Even in his last moments, he held tightly to the criminal, buying precious time for his colleagues, and ultimately bringing the criminal to justice.

Liu Weidong deeply admired the police officers who sacrificed themselves for the peace of the area. Many people from the county spontaneously attended Zhao Zheng's memorial service, and Liu Weidong also laid flowers at the hero's grave, leaving a very deep impression on him.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn, he would have the opportunity to meet this hero, which filled Liu Weidong with both surprise and anticipation. Could he possibly change Zhao Zheng's fate, preventing him from sacrificing his life while apprehending the criminal?

Zhao Zheng had no idea what Liu Weidong was thinking, and instead asked him seriously, "Young man, what's going on?"

"The three of them blocked our way and demanded 500 yuan..." Liu Weidong recounted the general events and concluded, "They were trying to force me to go to the bank to withdraw the money. Thank goodness you and Aunt Zheng arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Zhao Zheng frowned and asked Wang Biao, "Is that so?"

Wang Biao knew perfectly well that if he admitted to it, he would go to jail, so he immediately began to argue: "Officer, don't listen to his nonsense! This kid clearly owes me money and won't pay it back. I'm here to collect the debt, I have no intention of robbing you!"

Liu Weidong retorted sharply, "You mean I owe you five hundred yuan? Then show me the IOU!"

Wang Biao argued irrationally, "We're all friends. I never thought of asking him to write an IOU. Who would have thought he'd renege on his debt!"

Liu Weidong sneered, "You didn't even write an IOU for such a large sum of five hundred yuan, so we must have a very good relationship, right? Then you can tell the police officer my name and where I live."

"This..." Wang Biao was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Neighborhood committee director Aunt Zheng also said to Zhao Zheng, "Comrade Zhao, these two young men are both good lads. They are usually well-behaved. All of us in the neighborhood committee can vouch for them. They will definitely not default on their debts!"

Hearing this, Liu Weidong couldn't help but laugh. His efforts to get along with the neighborhood committee aunties were finally paying off. If they put in a good word for him at such a crucial moment, giving away those sunflower seeds would have been totally worth it!

These days, the neighborhood committee's word still carries weight. Zhao Zheng immediately leaned toward believing Liu Weidong, and looked Wang Biao up and down, saying, "You bring a triangular scraper when you visit a friend? I don't think your relationship is that great!"

"Officer, I'm telling the truth, please don't believe him!" Wang Biao was still making a last-ditch effort, but it was all in vain.

Liu Weidong whispered to Zhao Zheng, "Officer, we had a minor altercation at the market, and I think that's why he came to rob me. You can ask the comrades at the neighborhood office about this, and you'll see I'm not making this up."

On one side were Wang Biao and others who came to the door with triangular scrapers, and on the other side was Liu Weidong, who had the help of the street and neighborhood committee to vouch for him. Zhao Zheng certainly understood who was more trustworthy.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice to Wang Biao and the others: "You three, go to the station and honestly confess your crimes. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely!"

Aunt Zheng exclaimed, "Comrade Zhao is absolutely right! These criminals are outrageous! They even came to our door with knives! They absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"

"Don't worry, the station will definitely investigate this case thoroughly. We won't wrong an innocent person or let a guilty person go free!" Zhao Zheng nodded to Liu Weidong and the others, then left with the dejected Wang Biao and his group.

These people carried weapons and committed robberies during the crackdown. They will face severe legal punishment and won't be able to get out without serving several years in prison.

After Wang Biao and the others were taken away, Liu Weidong hurriedly thanked the neighborhood committee director: "Aunt Zheng, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't brought the police officers, Jianjun and I would have been in big trouble!"

Hao Jianjun also sincerely said, "Thank you, Aunt Zheng. If it weren't for you, Wei Dong and I would be fighting those bastards to the death right now!"
