Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1333 - 650: Push-Up Style Education

Xu Changsheng rode the motorcycle back to the police station, where the first arrivals had already locked people up in a room. Seeing him return, they gathered around. He parked the motorcycle, casually pulled out the keys, and tossed them to Dang Wenzheng, "Wenzheng, here are the keys... Riding a motorcycle in winter really isn’t pleasant!"

Dang Wenzheng took the keys, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I was in such a hurry earlier that I forgot my gloves were in my pocket. I only remembered after I left, forgetting to leave them for you!"

"No worries, no worries," Xu Changsheng said with a smile. Though he claimed it was nothing, he stamped his feet and rubbed his hands together, never stopping these actions as he spoke. "Everyone’s been brought back, so let’s get started. As for the onlookers here just for the spectacle, we’ll just educate them and have them hurry home. Dragging them to the station will probably make them think twice about showing up next time..."

"One of them is Boss Yan, who came as a witness," Xiang Changqing said, "Let’s have him come over first and tell us the details."

"Good, you start with him. And the rest of you, don’t just stand there, get them all out for questioning too, let’s not waste time," Xu Changsheng arranged without a second thought.

When Da Gui came over and gave a full account of the situation, the group came together to discuss it and the work went even faster. free𝑤ebnovel.com

It really wasn’t much of an incident. Just Old Baldy, who was blinded by greed, believed the persuasion—or rather, the temptation—of a so-called nephew who was in reality a distant relative barely connected to him. He then dragged a few people over for a gambling game.

Old Baldy was still adamant in his innocence, "I had no idea the kid wanted to go so big. He just said he wanted some spending money for the New Year. Later, when Da Gui brought his savings book, I advised against it, you can ask him..."

So, people at the station went to ask Da Gui again. Da Gui was quite upset, raising his voice loudly, "He and his partner scammed me. Who knows if he was genuinely advising me or just trying to egg me on to bet more!"

Old Baldy heard it all from the next room and shouted back, equally loud, "Da Gui, we’ve been neighbors for so many years, have I ever scammed you?"

Da Gui retorted just as loudly, "You cheated me out of twenty bricks when you built that drain in front of your door!"

Old Baldy refused to admit defeat, "But the water from your house also flows through my front door. If it were only my house’s water, I wouldn’t need to build a drain..."

The interrogating Dang Wenzheng slammed his hand on the table, "Stop arguing, focus on the issue at hand. Do you even want to go home for the New Year?"

This finally stopped the two from yelling at each other through the wall.

Leaving Da Gui out of it, there were five people at the scene gambling, including Old Baldy and his so-called nephew. Two genuinely came to watch, while two couldn’t resist the temptation and bet on the side.

The game was Landlord, and those two would place their money in front of one of the three players. If that person won the hand, they would get a cut. You can imagine, these two didn’t dare join the gambling themselves, and the bets they placed were also small, just one, two, three, or five yuan each to join in the excitement.

But now that they were caught, this was also considered participating in gambling.

The two spectators proved their innocence and instantly felt it had nothing to do with them. One nonchalantly requested, "Can we go home now then?"

The other, slightly proud, added, "When they were betting big, I even tried to dissuade them. I should get some credit for that, right?"

A temporary worker, unimpressed by their attitude, said, "You were aware but didn’t report. The officer in charge just mentioned you need some education. Why don’t you do push-ups in the yard? Once you’ve done five hundred, you can go home."

The two tried to bargain but Xiang Changqing’s face turned stern, "If you’re told to do it, do it. Any more back talk, and it will be a thousand!"

That’s what they get, being honest about their mistake wasn’t enough, they even felt they had reason for their actions. They deserved to go squat in the yard doing push-ups.

The two bettors cried foul, "We were just joining the excitement. They were betting several yuan each, and we only bet a few yuan..."

One officer, who knew more about the law, informed them, "Once involved, it counts as gambling. You will at least have to write a pledge that you won’t gamble ever again."

Old Baldy felt even more wronged, "Landlord is a game for three people. Can those two betting on the game be counted as gambling?"

The legally knowledgeable officer educated him as well, "You shouldn’t have let them place bets. If they hadn’t and it was just three people gambling, it would be different. But with their bets, it became more than three. Organizing a game of more than three players is different than a game of exactly three. And regarding your nephew, there’s also the matter of fraud. The kid doesn’t have a proper job, and we’ve already called over to Hongshan Town. He’s a hardened gambler that can’t seem to change his ways..."

Old Baldy’s face turned pale as he listened, nearly on the verge of tears, "Comrade, I was really led astray by him..."

"That’s not an excuse," Xiang Changqing cut in. "You provided a place for gambling, right? Anyway, you’re in trouble this time. Just wait and see what the officer in charge decides!"

Really, this was just as Officer Xu had instructed— to scare them a bit.

If you talk about education—giving them a lecture is not as effective as making them do push-ups in the yard. If you were to punish them by the law, the case is too minor; it wouldn’t teach them a real lesson.

Although they were from the town, they were actually farmers with land and didn’t have much money. They weren’t habitual gamblers; they just wanted to have some fun. But as they played, they got carried away and raised the stakes—not by much because the intervention was quick. Including last night’s tally, the total gambling funds were just a few thousand yuan.
