From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 264 - 240: Aftermath Handling

The riot baton smashed onto Mei Ru Xue's helmet, producing a loud bang!

Despite the helmet's protection, Mei Ru Xue felt a momentary dizziness from the impact, illustrating the opponent's formidable strength.

Xu Chunliang felt both heartache and gratitude, then his anger blazed like a raging fire. He charged forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, wrapping his arms around the waist of the attacker, tackling him onto the road, and raised his fist to deliver a fierce punch to the man's face, knocking him out on the spot.

At this moment, the ramshackle van arrived, blocking Xu Chunliang and Mei Ru Xue's retreat. Three bruised and battered thugs got out of the van, led by a mustached man who shouted, "That's them, get them!"

The toppled motorcycle's hazard lights flashed incessantly. Xu Chunliang, thoroughly enraged, picked up the riot baton from the ground. Standing in front of Mei Ru Xue, he coldly glared at the mob surrounding them, an intangible aura of lethal intent stealthily spreading in the night.

"Xiaoxue!"

Mei Ru Xue still felt slightly dizzy. She knew Xu Chunliang was worried about her: "I'm fine..."

Mei Ru Xue indeed was unharmed, but the ten people who came to confront them found themselves in trouble.

Xu Chunliang roared in anger, charging into the enemy's midst. Apart from the guy he initially knocked out, nine others still had fighting capability. Seeing Xu Chunliang, who seemed like a berserk tiger, these people felt a chill of fear. However, they quickly composed themselves; they had numbers, they were enforcers, and they even believed they were upholding justice.

The opponents were merely two, one of whom was a woman. How dare they violently resist law enforcement? Did this guy really have the guts to take on ten people alone?

Four strong men first closed in, trying to encircle Xu Chunliang. But before their circle formed, Xu Chunliang, like a nimble snake, slipped through a gap, swinging the riot baton down on the foreheads of several men. He reserved a bit of his strength; while it didn't cause fractures, it was more than enough to leave them in unbearable pain.

The four strong men clearly saw Xu Chunliang, and had swung their riot batons at him, but all missed. By the time they realized it, their legs had already taken heavy blows from Xu Chunliang. They clutched their legs, screaming as they collapsed to the ground.

Having broken free from the encirclement, Xu Chunliang charged at the mustached man who had provoked him first, blocking the riot baton coming his way, and delivered a powerful punch to the man's abdomen.

The blow made the mustached man scream in agony, feeling as if his internal organs were twisted and deformed. His legs gave out, and he knelt before Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang lifted his knee, striking it under the man's chin.

The mustached man's head jerked back, hitting the van behind him with a thud! His vision went black, and he fainted.

The bloodthirsty fury had risen within Xu Chunliang. Swinging the baton with a reverse grip, he struck an ambusher's crotch from behind.

The ambusher let out a scream, clutching his groin and jumping in pain, seeing a thousand chickens flying wildly before his eyes.

Xu Chunliang swiftly turned, the riot baton in his hand smashed into the forehead of another opponent.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Chunliang had already taken down seven opponents.

The remaining three exchanged glances, wondering who this brutish figure was. He was too fierce, like a mad beast. What was scarier was that they had angered this beast.

"Don't come any closer! We're from the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office… you're resisting enforcement… you… deal with the consequences yourself…"

Xu Chunliang was filled with hatred towards these thugs who violated the law under the guise of justice. He charged again, lifting a steel rod and showering blows upon the three remaining targets.

Xu Chunliang was pent-up with frustration. He should never have shown mercy initially; rooting out threats is the only way to eliminate future troubles. His initial leniency by the bonfire had led to this retaliatory incident.

Though Xu Chunliang didn't plan to kill them, today, he had to instill fear and discipline into them, making them so terrified they wouldn't dare to think of revenge again.

From a distance, sirens wailed as the township police station responded to the report, mobilizing urgently to the scene.

Mei Ru Xue realized they had lost control of the situation tonight; they could only take it one step at a time.

Tonight, Director Li Chengbo personally led the police response. Initially responding to reports of violent resistance to law enforcement, when they arrived, they found that the one violently resisting was Xu Chunliang. As the police approached, Xu Chunliang was swinging the riot baton at ten strong men who had completely surrendered without resistance.

Director Li Chengbo noticed the woman standing aside, helmet on and clad in a military coat. Having been in law enforcement for years, he saw through her identity despite her disguise.

No matter how well Mei Ru Xue dressed, she couldn't hide her extraordinary demeanor. Moreover, with Xu Chunliang beside her, the rumors in Hu Shan Town about her and Xu Chunliang had long been widespread.

Director Li Chengbo immediately understood; these temporary workers from the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office really were something, enforcing laws all the way up to the head of the town. It's one thing if they didn't recognize Xu Chunliang, but Mei Ru Xue was the mayor of Hu Shan Town. Didn't any of them recognize her? A bunch of clueless fools.

Ten against one, and they still got beaten up like this. Serves them right! These blind fools deserved the beating! Law enforcement? What authority do they have to enforce the law?

Li Chengbo first put Chunliang and Mei Ru Xue in the police car, instructing other officers to handle the scene, sending those who needed medical attention to the hospital and those who needed questioning to the police station.

Outwardly, it was said that they were taking the two suspects back for investigation, but in reality, he was first taking Mei Ru Xue away from the scene.

Mei Ru Xue got into the police car and took off her helmet.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Is your head alright?"

Mei Ru Xue shook her head, "Your helmet's really good quality."

Xu Chunliang recalled the moment when Mei Ru Xue had thrown herself in harm's way to protect him, blocking a hit for him. His heart was full of gratitude as he quietly reached to hold Mei Ru Xue's hand.

Mei Ru Xue, worried that Li Chengbo would see it, pulled her hand back just before their fingertips touched and said, "Director Li, do you need me to step in for tonight's issue?"

Li Chengbo replied, "I'll handle it." He stopped the car in front of the town government building. Mei Ru Xue got out of the car, and Li Chengbo, being a sensible person, should be able to handle this matter well.

Xu Chunliang followed her out, somewhat worried about Mei Ru Xue, suggesting she go to the hospital for a head scan. Mei Ru Xue knew she was fine and quietly told Xu Chunliang, "I'm okay, don't act rashly. If you need me to testify, just let me know."

Xu Chunliang reached out to stroke her hair. Mei Ru Xue's face flushed, but she didn't avoid his touch, completely aware that Li Chengbo saw it all clearly.

As he watched Mei Ru Xue walk into the town government building, Xu Chunliang got back into the car and said to Li Chengbo, "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Li."

Li Chengbo gave a wry smile, "You know it's trouble, yet you caused such a big scene. Why didn't you call Huang Yong in advance? How did it end up like this?"

Xu Chunliang told him that he couldn't reach Huang Yong by phone. Li Chengbo sighed quietly to himself. He had to find Huang Yong tonight. This matter had to be settled quickly without causing a stir. If it leaked out, Mei Ru Xue certainly wouldn't let it go.

Li Chengbo instructed his men to find Huang Yong, demanding that they dig him out from anywhere.

Tonight, Huang Yong had drunk too much. His wife dragged him out of bed, urging him to call Li Chengbo back quickly. In a drunken stupor, Huang Yong called back. Upon hearing what had happened, he sobered up instantly. He jumped out of bed and told Li Chengbo he would be there right away.

Li Chengbo handled matters with great skill, first collecting everyone's phones, then having his men take those with more severe injuries to the hospital for examination.

Xu Chunliang had been fighting fiercely for Mei Ru Xue today, far above his usual restraint, breaking two people's nasal bones, with one also suffering a zygomatic fracture.

Li Chengbo instructed them to first examine the injuries, then make a unified case record. He asked Xu Chunliang to give the hospital a heads up, as today's medical reports would need expert handling.

In case the situation remained unclear, it was best to be prepared early.

Li Chengbo went with Xu Chunliang to the hospital for a check-up. Xu Chunliang was diagnosed with a mild concussion. Everyone had injury reports, which would be useful for negotiations later. Li Chengbo, having been a policeman for many years, was well-versed in resolving such disputes.

While Xu Chunliang was being examined, Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office Director Huang Yong rushed to the hospital, first meeting with Li Chengbo. Unable to fully understand the situation over the phone, he needed a face-to-face explanation.

Li Chengbo and Huang Yong moved over to the flowerbed area. Huang Yong handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and then lit one for himself.

Li Chengbo smelled the alcohol on him and frowned, "You picked a great time to get drunk."

Huang Yong sighed, "How was I to know something so big would happen? Mr. Li, those guys only just started as temporary workers. They're just managed by us at the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office. In fact, they're new security recruits by the Da Heng Group. Da Heng Group pays their salaries, and one of them is Secretary Kong's nephew. They're mostly from Wutao Village, handling Da Heng Group's land security as their main task right now."

Li Chengbo thought it was unnecessary to hide from Huang Yong and needed him to step in and settle things. Thus, he recounted the events of the night, without mentioning Mei Ru Xue's presence. He only told Huang Yong that Xu Chunliang had a female companion who didn't want any exposure due to potential negative impact.

Huang Yong immediately understood after listening, as Li Chengbo's hint was already very clear. Xu Chunliang's companion had to be Town Mayor Mei Ru Xue. Concerned about the impact, she didn't want the issue to escalate, which is why she didn't appear.

Li Chengbo hadn't started any interrogations, let alone a case report. He needed both parties to reach a reconciliation and consensus, aiming to suppress the incident as much as possible.

The most severely injured was the guy who attacked Mei Ru Xue. In a fit of rage, Xu Chunliang punched him, breaking his nasal bone and zygomatic bone. Unfortunately, the kid was Kong Xiangsheng's own nephew, Kong Linghai.
