"The farmers in several villages near our town who grow traditional Chinese medicine are now about to see their herbs mature, right? And the peak purchasing season is coming too."

"But the herbs in these farmers’ fields are almost drowned by weeds, and they don’t bother to tend to them, not just these herbs, but some farmers who grow crops aren’t handling it either."

Aunty Dong said with a frown.

"This issue has already caught the attention of the leaders above, and now they’ve sent us to investigate what’s really going on."

"Even if they do this, it’s not necessarily illegal, but why arrest them?"

Wang Hao still couldn’t understand.

"Today we received another tip-off, saying that there are people here illegally gathering for a meeting. So we came over for a surprise inspection."

Aunty Dong’s face began to change as she spoke, pointing at the people who were arrested inside.

"We’ve only caught a small number of them, most have escaped!"

After hearing this, Wang Hao was also shocked. So many people gathering illegally, could they be planning a revolt?

But looking at these people, they all seemed to be genuine farmers. Although the economy here isn’t very developed, it hadn’t reached the point where they can’t afford food. If it was a revolt, Wang Hao couldn’t find any reason for them to do so.

So he turned his gaze to the man who acted differently from the rest.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Wang Hao felt this man must be hiding something.

"Aunty Dong, this man looks very suspicious, why don’t you interrogate him first?"

Wang Hao asked, pointing at the man.

"We’ve already interrogated him, but he refuses to say anything, and we have no other options."

Aunty Dong answered, looking helpless.

"Can I give it a try?"

Wang Hao’s mouth curved upward, and then he slowly walked toward the man.

Zhou Yingying wanted to reach out and stop Wang Hao, because he was neither a policeman nor a public official; he had no right to interrogate.

But Aunty Dong held Zhou Yingying back, as she was curious to see what Wang Hao could do, what he could find out?

"Buddy, want a smoke?"

Wang Hao walked up to the man and very naturally offered him a cigarette.

The man looked up at Wang Hao, didn’t speak, just scoffed and then turned his head away.

"Not bad, quite a personality!"

Wang Hao smiled, took the cigarette back, then grabbed the man’s clothing, and pushed him against the wall.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Hao picked up the handcuffs from the table, handcuffed the man’s hands behind back and secured him to the chair, rendering him immobile in an instant.

"Still want to be tough? Be tough again, I dare you!"

Wang Hao then stepped on the man’s face and ruthlessly trampled on him a couple of times.

The man’s face was pressed against the ground, teeth bared, but still, he said nothing.

Seeing this scene, the women who had been arguing with the police officers with righteous indignation were taken aback, their expressions revealing severe shock and fear.

Hadn’t this man assured them that the police would absolutely not beat them? But now he himself was being beaten, what was going on?

Zhou Yingying and the other police officers were also shocked; Wang Hao was not a police officer, and he did not have any law enforcement authority, yet he still had the audacity to hit someone in the presence of the police at the station, which was a clear violation of the law.

However, Aunt Dong couldn’t help but smile knowingly and regarded Wang Hao even more highly.

Yes, Wang Hao was indeed not a police officer, but it was precisely because he was not that he could get physical and teach them a lesson here.

If a police officer hit them during interrogation, it would be an aggravated offense, potentially resulting in criminal liability, but at most, Wang Hao was just a civilian, and at worst, he might receive a scolding.

Seeing that Aunt Dong did not step forward to stop it, the other police officers also let Wang Hao do as he pleased.

"Have you thought it through now, or do you need me to help jog your memory a bit more forcefully?"

Seeing that the women were starting to waver, Wang Hao slowly lifted his foot, lit a cigarette, and asked leisurely while sitting aside.

"I’m thinking of your mother, you dare to hit me, watch how I’ll sue you to death!"

The man remained unrepentant and cursed Wang Hao outright.

"You police dare to hit people now? Let me make it clear to you, I have hired the most famous attorney in Zao City, who has never lost a case."

"He is going to be here soon, and once he arrives, I will make sure he records all your crimes, and then I will sue you to death!"

"You dare to hit me; I have injuries on my body now. When my attorney arrives, I will have him send you a letter of representation immediately. And as for the head of your station, I am going to sue every single one of you and ensure you rot in jail." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The man’s arrogance grew and grew.

"So what if we gathered illegally and organized a meeting? You have no substantial evidence, and as long as we don’t admit to it, you can’t do anything to us."

"My attorney will have plenty of ways to exonerate us once he arrives. Meanwhile, he will have plenty of ways to deal with your crimes too."

Aunt Dong’s expression changed instantly; she hadn’t expected this man to have even called an attorney, which complicated matters.

"Is that so?"

Wang Hao suddenly said with a wicked smile.

"Well, since I can’t escape now anyway, I might as well hit you a few more times; otherwise, I would be at too great a loss."

"What... what do you mean?"

The man was clearly unsettled by Wang Hao’s gaze and couldn’t help but clench his fists, feeling the beginnings of fear.

Without hesitation, Wang Hao lifted his foot and knocked the man to the ground again, and since he was handcuffed, there was no chance for him to fight back.

"My attorney will be here any minute; you can’t..."

"Bang!"

Wang Hao punched the man in the face again, nearly knocking his teeth out, then said with a wicked smile.

"Since you’re so dishonest, I don’t see any need for you to talk anymore; it’s simpler to hit you until you shut up!"

The man shuddered at the words. Judging by Wang Hao’s actions, he was the kind of brute who could do anything.

"I... I’ll confess, isn’t that enough?"

Apparently unable to withstand Wang Hao’s punches any longer, the man pleaded for mercy.

Aunt Dong and Zhou Yingying couldn’t help but laugh when they saw this. They thought to themselves that Wang Hao was really something; none of them would have acted that way if they were in his shoes.

That’s why they were left with no way to handle this man.

But just then, a man dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase walked into the station, looking like an attorney.
