Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Before Li Hanliang could make a move, Zhou Meiping rushed over.

She grabbed Chen Longhu, "What do you think you're doing in broad daylight?"

"Hey, little vixen, you've got some spirit," Chen Longhu's eyes gleamed with lust as he leered at Zhou Meiping. "What are you to Li Hanliang? His mistress?"

Li Hanliang was not afraid of this bastard to begin with. Now, hearing him clearly call out his name, he became even more certain that the other party was just acting under someone else's orders, a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

However, Zhou Meiping was unaware of all this. At this moment, she bravely stood up to protect herself, entirely out of friendship.

This touched Li Hanliang deeply.

“Dude, I think we should skip the health bureau and go straight to the police station,” Li Hanliang said, not afraid of these thugs. “You’re causing trouble in our shop, that’s called disorderly conduct, and that’s the police’s responsibility.”

"Lanfang, go call the police."

Li Hanliang turned around and instructed Liu Lanfang.

He knew very well that these people had specifically requested to go to the Health Bureau, which meant that things had obviously been arranged there.

If you let them lead you by the nose, you will definitely fall into their trap.

However, these people were beating and causing trouble in front of everyone, and there had to be an explanation, otherwise everyone would think that Li's Steamed Bun Shop was in the wrong.

So Li Hanliang came up with this compromise.

"Go to the police station? Damn it..." Chen Longhu swore, "Who doesn't know that little bitch Fang Qingquan is also your lover? You dog, do you think I'd fall for your tricks?"

Li Hanliang frowned. This time, he didn't argue with Chen Longhu. Instead, he walked to the shop entrance and looked at the crowd of onlookers.

"Listen to this, everyone. This guy keeps saying he bought my steamed buns and found a fly in one, so he's here to argue. But he can call out my name accurately and fabricate all sorts of romantic stories about me and all my female friends," Li Hanliang paused slightly, then calmly looked at the crowd. "Do you think he knew me before, or not?"

People of this era are simple and honest, not stupid. The onlookers present naturally understood the meaning behind Li Hanliang's words.

Li Hanliang was implying that Chen Longhu and his gang had deliberately come to cause trouble, and that these thugs were well-prepared!

"That's right, they're deliberately causing trouble!"

"What Five Tiger Generals? I think they're just five scoundrels!"

Among the crowd, some older men and women who had long disliked these people began to stand on Li Hanliang's side.

"So, everyone, I want you all to be my witnesses today! Let's go to the police station together and let them determine the truth of this matter!"

As Li Hanliang spoke, he pulled Chen Longhu instead, instantly turning the tables and taking the initiative.

Seeing this, the other four thugs rushed over, trying to stop Li Hanliang.

They are used to being domineering, and no matter what the situation, their first reaction is always to solve it with their fists.

Li Hanliang was struggling with the group when he suddenly received a punch to the face.

Immediately afterwards, these people's fists, as big as sandbags, rained down on Li Hanliang.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Meiping angrily rushed over to help Li Hanliang.

Liu Lanfang was crying and hitting at the same time, hoping to share some of the burden with Li Hanliang.

However, these five people were indeed very strong in combat. Li Hanliang's two fists were no match for their ten hands, and he was quickly pinned to the ground and beaten mercilessly.

"Damn it, I'm like a tiger fallen into the plains, being bullied by dogs!" Li Hanliang gritted his teeth and resisted while secretly regretting his actions.

He must be quite skilled in combat; dealing with those ordinary thugs was no problem for him.

Today, he was actually beaten to a pulp by these five people!

Li Hanliang was filled with pent-up anger, and when his anger reached its peak, a tremendous force was also forced out of him.

"Damn it!" Li Hanliang, having captured the leader of the thief, punched Chen Longhu in the face!

Chen Longhu was originally confident of defeating Li Hanliang, and he felt that he was sure to win this time, giving the Jing family a chance to make a contribution.

But he didn't expect that Li Hanliang would be such a tough guy. Even though they had beaten him to the ground, he still refused to admit defeat and managed to find an opportunity to fight back!

"Fuck your mother!" Chen Longhu raised his fist to strike again.

Li Hanliang gritted his teeth. He couldn't afford to lose today, otherwise, where would he put his face?

Just as Li Hanliang was about to make a move, a sharp shout suddenly came from the doorway.

"Stop it all!"

Everyone was stunned by the sound, and Li Hanliang recognized whose voice it was.

Isn't that Jing Wenqiang?

His face and body were covered in bruises, and he turned to look at the doorway.

Jing Wenqiang, dressed in a health bureau uniform, walked over swaggeringly, following behind a middle-aged, pot-bellied, bald man.

"What's going on?" Jing Wenqiang asked, like a eunuch beside an ancient emperor, preemptively inquiring on behalf of his master.

Chen Longhu immediately stepped forward and poured out his story that there was a dead fly in the meat bun.

After Jing Wenqiang finished speaking, he immediately made a conclusion, "Oh, this matter is not to be underestimated! Food hygiene is the top priority for our bureau chief this year, and it is also a matter that the city has repeatedly emphasized must be taken seriously!"

"Chief, what do you think of this..." Jing Wenqiang politely asked Wei Ping'an, "How about we seal off the shop first, arrest the person, and then investigate further?"

"This is a huge problem. If the store continues to operate, I'm afraid even more people will be harmed."

Li Hanliang understood that Jing Wenqiang had deliberately called Wei Ping'an over.

The fact that Jing Wenqiang, who was on probation, was able to intern at the Health Bureau indicates that Wei must be connected to the Jing family. Either he received benefits from the Jing family, or the Jing family has something on him that they can use against him.

Zhou Meiping noticed it too, and was surprised. She leaned closer to Li Hanliang and whispered, "Just who is this Jing family? How come they have so much influence?"

Li Hanliang frowned. "It seems that their family's foundation is far greater than what has been revealed."

However, the current situation was not enough for the two to discuss things clearly. Li Hanliang could only step forward and say in a deep voice, "Director Wei, if you close my shop based solely on this hooligan's one-sided story, wouldn't that be against the rules?"

"Furthermore, you should know that above the county is the city, and above the city is the province. If you wrongly accuse an innocent person because of a momentary lapse in judgment and bring trouble upon yourself, wouldn't that be a terrible waste?"

Li Hanliang knew that in this situation, backing down would be useless; even his threats would be ineffective. The only thing he could do now was to make it clear to the people present that the man surnamed Wei was acting under the orders of the Jing family.

Sure enough, Wei Ping'an snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Enough nonsense, take them away!"

"The shop is closed too! Immediately, right now!"
