As soon as Liu Lihe made this statement, there was an immediate uproar among the crowd.

"Damn it, Lihe, you got the money but still won't pay us what you owe for our hard work, and you even tell us to ask your divorced wife for it, that's just filthy!"

"Exactly, exactly! And we come from the same village too!"

In the countryside, the monthly salary is only a few hundred dollars, and the factory is just a small one without many workers—ten thousand dollars would have been enough to pay their wages!

Seeing the commotion among the people, Ge Dongxu raised his hand to signal.

Despite his young age, Ge Dongxu's gesture carried authority, and the crowd fell immediately silent.

"Just ten thousand dollars? Seems like I really need to work on your legs too," Ge Dongxu said with a cold laugh.

"No, no, I remembered wrong, it's twenty thousand, twenty thousand!" Liu Lihe blurted out in panic upon hearing this.

The onlookers then wore skeptical expressions, suspecting Liu Lihe was admitting this under duress.

"Who's throwing punches here? Which little bastard dares to cause trouble in our Wangzhou Township!" At that moment, over ten people poured in through the door, including some in police uniforms and some without, along with the chubby auxiliary policeman who had run off before.

The one shouting was a man in a police uniform, probably in his forties.

"Mayor Liu, Chief Wang, you've come at the right time. It's him, it's him, he hit me just now!" Seeing the people from the town government and the police station arriving, Liu Lihe rushed forward as if he'd seen his own parents, sobbing and sniveling.

The push and pull they'd had earlier was indeed more than anyone could bear.

"Yes, yes, Mayor Liu, Chief Wang, you've come just in time. Arrest that guy quickly. This guy not only resisted arrest but also hit a cop. In front of me, he hit Liu Lihe and dislocated his arm!" At this moment, Li Geng's stomach pain was gone, and he eagerly stood up, rushing forward to report.

Mayor Liu was a middle-aged man with an air of leadership about him. After hearing Li Geng's words, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked dissatisfied.

Damn, do they really take me for a fool? Can't even tell if someone's arm is dislocated or not?

However, in Huaxia Country, township police stations at this level are branches of the county public security bureaus and are managed by county-level public security authorities, not under the jurisdiction of township governments. They're only responsible for assisting township governments and serving the social order of the townships. Therefore, even though Mayor Liu is in charge of the entire Wangzhou Township, he still doesn't have direct authority over the police station chief or officers. Sometimes, even when he needs something done as the mayor, he still has to speak pleasantly to Chief Wang.

Thus, although Mayor Liu was irritated by Li Geng's blatant lies in front of him, showing no respect for his status as mayor, he didn't erupt in anger right away.

Chief Wang, of course, knew what his subordinates were like; seeing that Liu Lihe's arm was clearly fine and yet Li Geng claimed it was dislocated, he cursed internally, "Damn it, Li Geng, you idiot! Didn't you see Mayor Liu here? Can you spew such nonsense?"

However, no matter how wildly Li Geng blabbered, they were still on the same side, sharing the same trenches. Despite being displeased with his reckless talk, Chief Wang didn't call him out on it right then and there.

Small places often have a mindset that leans towards clannish behavior, especially for semi-militarized professions like the police. In such localities, the atmosphere of sticking together and valuing loyalty tends to be stronger.

"Who do you think you are? Is there no law in your eyes?" Chief Wang glared fiercely at Li Geng and then turned to look at Ge Dongxu and others, while Li Geng was left feeling inexplicably rebuked by that look, thinking to himself that he had said nothing wrong.

Damn it! Liu Lihe's arm was put back on by that guy! But it didn't take long for Li Geng to figure out where the problem was, feeling so frustrated he could almost cough up blood.

"You are President Yuan!" On closer inspection, Chief Wang did recognize Yuan Li.

Since the herbal tea beverage factory was located in Wangzhou Township and Yuan Li, the owner of the factory, inevitably had to deal with some of the local government leaders. After all, she was also the Deputy Branch Manager of the county's Industrial and Commercial Bank. Sometimes her involvement could significantly boost the status of the herbal tea factory, so Chief Wang recognized Yuan Li.

"So it's President Yuan!" Township Head Liu naturally recognized Yuan Li as well, and he stepped forward to shake hands with her.

Leaders, of course, look at issues and people differently from a small-town police officer like Li Geng. Seeing that it was Yuan Li, both Township Head Liu and Chief Wang's attitudes softened significantly.

"President Yuan, what's going on? It's not easy for us to run a factory in such a poor township. Why did the bank come to collect debts a few days ago, nearly forcing the herbal tea beverage factory to close? What brings you here today with more people?" After shaking hands with Yuan Li, Township Head Liu asked her.

"This bitch just came here to force our factory to shut down! To leave all of us without a meal! She even brought people to beat us! Township Head Liu, Chief Wang, look at my face, it was people brought by this bitch who hit me!" Seeing that both the township head and the police station chief had arrived, followed by a large group of people, Han Zhen resumed her aggressive demeanor, pointing at Yuan Li and Ge Dongxu and cursing them bitterly.

Township Head Liu and Chief Wang hadn't noticed Han Zhen before, but now they saw her swollen face and remembered that closing the factory would certainly mean a loss of income for the township. Besides, Liu Lihe had always taken care of entertaining them, and even though Yuan Li was an outsider, seeing the factory about to close and her, the Deputy Branch Manager, unwilling to help, their expressions turned somewhat sour.

"President Yuan, what are you trying to do here?" Chief Wang asked with a displeased expression.

"What can she do? This woman is just a disloyal and thankless bitch!" emboldened by the township head and station chief's disapproval, Han Zhen stepped up her tirade against Yuan Li, her words sharp and bitter.

Ge Dongxu was so enraged that his glare suddenly shot towards Han Zhen.

"What are you looking at? You got the guts to hit me again in front of Township Head Liu and Chief Wang? Hit me then? Go ahead, hit me!" Han Zhen stood with her chest out, her finger pointing at Ge Dongxu as she taunted him, the very picture of a shrew. Even Township Head Liu and Chief Wang couldn't help but frown slightly at the scene, showing a hint of disgust in their eyes.

As grassroots officials in townships, what they most disliked were such shrewish women, for they are the toughest to deal with.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Ge Dongxu stepped forward, grabbed Han Zhen by the collar, and slapped her face fiercely twice.

"Wuwu! Goddamn, is there no law left! Chief Liu, Chief Wang, you see, he hit me again!" Han Zhen didn't expect Ge Dongxu to actually dare to hit her again. She was initially stunned, then immediately began to wail loudly, and if it weren't for Ge Dongxu still holding onto her collar, she might have already thrown herself on the ground in a tantrum.

"You woman deserve to be hit for the way you run your mouth!" Ge Dongxu raised his hand and gave Han Zhen two more slaps, then looked at Township Head Liu and Chief Wang, who seemed somewhat bewildered, and said, "You heard it yourselves, this woman asked me to hit her!"
