Chapter 74: Impersonating a Police Officer

Back to Chapter List
This time, Xiao Hei's objective is to have his younger siblings capture Qin Feng and then compel the three young women to comply. The four individuals are not actual police officers but rather auxiliary police—often referred to as temporary staff who are pushed to the forefront whenever an incident arises. By design, auxiliary police should wear uniforms specific to their role, not full police attire; however, these four deliberately obtained several police uniforms to enhance their appearance and credibility when on duty. The leader of the group is Zhang Shuo, aged twenty-two. Originally a socially inactive individual, he had struggled to secure a stable position even in his native neighborhood, until he was recruited into the auxiliary police force, where he gradually gained recognition and confidence. His three colleagues are in similar situations. Thanks to their consistent presence and proactive involvement in joint police operations, they have quickly earned the favor of their superiors. As a result, they have been assigned a nearly obsolete police vehicle and granted the authority to handle minor civil cases. Though not full-fledged police officers, they are sufficiently convincing when it comes to making an impression. Xiao Hei watched the four heading toward the private room with a cheerful smile, thinking to himself: this time, see how you can act all confident—how dare you stand up and fight? You won’t dare to even touch the police. Inside, the three young girls were vying for the microphone. They had already reached the peak of excitement, boldly stepping up to sing and swaying their bodies with flair, occasionally giving electric glances to Qin Dashi. Unfortunately, Qin Dashi wasn’t particularly interested in these three high school freshmen. He preferred more mature girls; while a little girl (a "little lady") wasn’t out of the question, he found equally charming the quiet, composed type. But these three were all 15-year-olds—fully grown into "little lady" types—and not at all reserved or gentle. Fortunately, the beer and green tea weren’t just ordinary—this gave Qin Dashi a little pleasure amid his otherwise monotonous boredom. Thud… The door was kicked open from the outside, a move Zhang Shuo had decided to create a strong impression. Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Hei was so touched he nearly fainted. The place has just been newly renovated—what if we accidentally knock the door down and have to pay again to replace it? The four inside turned simultaneously to look at the entrance. It was the police. All three young girls' faces grew pale—should they be taken into custody, their parents would definitely have to be notified, and their excuse of missing school would be completely exposed. Fang Fei's heart raced wildly; all her hopes now rested on Qin Feng. "Did you just hit someone?" Zhang Shuo demanded, pointing at him, "You're quite bold—after hitting someone, you don't even run away, and now you're demanding compensation from the store owner! Stand up and come with us!" The three girls stared at him in disbelief—what exactly did he do? Hit someone and demand compensation? Didn't he just want to protect their safety? Would he really have resorted to physical confrontation just for that? Qin, the young nobleman, immediately noticed that these four were imposters. Since they were fakes, there was no need to be polite to them. Seeing him still seated on the sofa refusing to move, the officer on Zhang Shuo's right reached out to pull at Qin Feng's arm. Just as his hand reached halfway, Qin Feng slapped it aside. "Assault on an officer!" he immediately shouted—how familiar that phrase sounded, clearly indicating this had been rehearsed many times, perhaps even tested in real situations. Zhang Shuo had originally come to seek justice for his brother; now he had a solid reason to act. "Seize this young man who dares to assault an officer!" he ordered, "Put him in handcuffs and take him to the station!" Three officers surged forward at once, and Zhang Shuo produced his handcuffs from his waist. Fang Fei and the others were terrified, shrieking and huddling in the corner of the sofa. Qin Feng suddenly stood up, kicked hard at the middle officer's chest, then delivered a series of swift leg swings to the faces of the other two. Thump, thump... The three officers fell to the ground without a single surprise, their speed and precision in Qin Feng's movements truly astonishing. It's evident from one perspective—when the three auxiliary officers moved in, Zhang Shuo reached for his handcuffs at his waist, just touching them before he could pull them out, and by the time he did, the three colleagues had already been accounted for. Among the four of them, eight sets of eyes, no one caught Qin Feng’s movements clearly. Fang Fei had witnessed Qin, the young man, engage in physical confrontation three times before, yet her sense of astonishment remained no less than that of her two close friends—how bold he was to confront police officers directly. Zhang Shuo was the fourth to fall, and only when his body made contact with the floor did he finally retrieve his handcuffs. "An assault on police officers? Truly ridiculous—what kind of police officers are these four lumps of refuse?" Qin Feng stepped on Zhang Shuo’s shoulder, his voice cold. "Don’t you know what constitutes the offense of impersonating a police officer?" The reason they were deemed not police officers stemmed primarily from their youth and their casual attire. Though Qin Feng had never particularly admired the police profession, he had to admit that these individuals generally maintained a sense of personal image and professionalism. After all, the police leadership had to invest considerable effort in shaping the image of their personnel. As soon as he looked at these four, he saw right away that they were the kind of slackers. In his view, the officers from the Third Street Division were already quite average, but these four were even worse. Moreover, Xiao Hei had already used his connections from the underworld; it simply didn’t make sense for him to now openly file a formal complaint—this went against ordinary logic. "We... we are part-time police officers," Zhang Shuo could only state his position now, with no room for concealment. Part-time police officers? Qin, the young magnate, found it amusing—here were the very temporary staff who were always pushed onto the front lines whenever something went wrong. It was truly a first for him. After returning home, he had never actually seen these legendary part-time police officers, and honestly, he felt a bit excited. Among the three sisters, Fang Fei was the most courageous, and she had already witnessed Qin Feng engaging in physical confrontations with others on more than one occasion. Upon hearing that the other party was a part-time police officer, she leapt straight up from the sofa: "Part-time police officers don't have enforcement authority, do they? Then why did you come in force? Are you coming to create trouble for him, or for us?" Qin, the young nobleman, was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself that it made sense—how else could the world remain stable if even small part-time officers had enforcement powers? Indeed, this girl clearly knew her stuff. Really giving it their due, that guy kept shouting into his phone: "I suspect he's a terrorist—beating people, threatening the store owner, extorting him, assaulting police officers..." Man, what a reversal! Making me out to be a terrorist? You'll see how hard it is for you to label a good guy as such! Qin, the young magnate, stomped over with several kicks—his phone shattered, his wrist bone snapped, and he cried out in a pig-like wail of pain. Little Black, hiding in the corridor, trembled so badly he nearly collapsed to the ground.
