Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1340 - 653: No Corporal Punishment, Just Write a Reflection

"Expert?" Xu Changsheng, who was just asking questions up front, heard Heizi’s words and couldn’t help but repeat them in a low voice, then turned his head to Heizi. "You’re saying they are all old hands, right?"

Heizi first thought of nodding, then shook his head: "I don’t know, interrogate them, and you’ll find out. Anyway, anyone who can hide cards definitely isn’t playing for the first time!"

Normally, gambling among villagers is a minor issue. But for those who rely on gambling to make a living and never learn their lesson, once caught, they definitely can’t be treated the same as those who are just starting to gamble.

Xu Changsheng nodded, was about to speak, when suddenly a shout came from the other side: "You two, Cui Zhangfei and Hou Dayong, right? Watch your steps from now on, I, Yang Nantian, have got my eyes on you!"

Although that shout wasn’t earth-shattering, it did draw everyone’s attention. Even the gamblers crouching at the base of the wall with handcuffs couldn’t help but sneak a peek toward the source of the voice.

After seeing the person clearly, everyone in the police station’s courtyard was a bit dumbstruck: Damn, seen the arrogant ones, but have never seen someone this brazen. Is this arrogance or just being a damn fool? This place might be a bit dilapidated, but it’s still within the police station, isn’t it? Have you even considered the consequences of openly threatening people?

That’s right, the one shouting was the former Er Gouzi, who, disliking his original name, had renamed himself Yang Nantian.

Cui Zhangfei had previously hit Er Gouzi because he couldn’t stand his disrespectful behavior. Now that Er Gouzi was calling out Cui Zhangfei’s name and warning him to be careful, he didn’t care at all, and chuckled: "Fine, I’ll wait!"

But Cui Zhangfei’s indifference didn’t mean Yan Fei was indifferent. Yan Fei strode forward and stared at Er Gouzi: "You’re warning my people to watch out, what exactly are you planning to do to them? Let’s hear it."

Er Gouzi dared to threaten Cui Zhangfei and Hou Dayong, but now being stared down by Yan Fei, he inexplicably felt guilty: "What’s it to you what I say to them?"

Yan Fei sneered: "They are my workers, and I was the one who led the charge to round you up. You think their business has nothing to do with me?"

Seeing Er Gouzi not speaking, Yan Fei took out his cell phone and handed it over: "Here, take the phone. Weren’t you boasting about how ’Awesome’ you are outside? Call for backup now, as many as you can. Let them come for me, Yan Fei, and see how I’ll deal with them."

Er Gouzi, just a working grunt, perhaps a security guard, but with that brain and style, was likely just a lowly errand boy. He might know a few good-for-nothing friends, but now facing the phone Yan Fei handed over, he truly didn’t dare to take it.

Yan Fei held the phone, waiting for him, and stared until Er Gouzi didn’t dare to look at him; then Yan Fei snorted and put away the phone: "If you don’t have the guts, then stop blowing hot air."

Er Gouzi didn’t dare to make a sound at this point, didn’t see that the people inside were all smirking at his misfortune, and let Yan Fei handle him without a peep. Seeing him silent, Yan Fei didn’t bother with him anymore, turned to Xu Changsheng and said: "Officer Xu, with so many people, you’ll be busy. We won’t disturb your case-handling anymore."

Officer Xu was about to nod, then suddenly stopped: "Hold on, don’t be hasty. Let them head back first, I’ve got something to discuss with you."

Once they were in Officer Xu’s office, Xu Changsheng humbly sought advice from Yan Fei: "Boss Yan, those whose offenses aren’t severe can be let go now, right?"

Yan Fei asked: "What does the regulation say? Isn’t this supposed to be your call? Why are you asking me?"

Officer Xu explained: "According to regulations, as long as the investigation is clear and the issues are minor, they can leave. Like those guys from the south side of the street, apart from the injured one and the organizer of the gambling, the rest can go now. I feel that, although the issue isn’t severe, we are doing this to nip things in the bud, right? If we detain them for a night and let them walk tomorrow morning, there won’t be any problems, right?"

To even consider this shows that Officer Xu truly wants to get things done, and Yan Fei definitely should support him: "Then detain them for a night. I also think letting them go now would teach them nothing. Don’t even worry about their meals, and didn’t I hear you were making them do push-ups? Keep them going, let them learn a proper lesson, to prevent them from getting itchy hands again in a few days."

Actually, detaining them for one night or even a few more wouldn’t matter. It’s just because of the New Year, Xu Changsheng was worried about things he might not have foreseen—what if detaining them for an extra day or two caused trouble?

So he consulted Yan Fei, and there was another reason; Yan Fei had clout here. Now Xu Changsheng’s change was somewhat major; he began to feel that, though his principles were not wrong, he also needed to take into account the actual local conditions and adapt measures accordingly—of course, this was only his attempt and didn’t mean he would do this all the time.

Now he was just trying, attempting to find a better solution to problems without breaking his own principles.

However, Yan Fei wasn’t helping for nothing. Later when the people detained were released, the station spread the word; it was Boss Yan who had pleaded on their behalf, resulting in lighter punishment for them. After all, there aren’t many people in the countryside who really understand the law, and scaring them has only benefits, no downsides—by doing this, Officer Xu was not only doing Yan Fei a favor but also ensuring those people had even less to say.
