363: Who is his brother-in-law?
Lei Jun was absolutely furious.
He still dared to keep chirping? Still dared to threaten her? He really wouldn't shed a tear until he saw his own coffin!
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lei Jun moved again!
She stepped forward, looking down at Wang Jinbiao, whose face was covered in blood and resentment, her eyes filled with coldness and disgust.
Then, she raised her hand once more.
"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Four more fast and ruthless slaps, delivered with both backhand and forehand, landed solidly on Wang Jinbiao's already heavily swollen face!
Wang Jinbiao was completely dazed from the beating!
His phone almost flew out of his hand.
He clutched his face, his head buzzing and his vision darkening; he was in a state of extreme bewilderment.
He simply couldn't believe it!
I've already called the police!
I've already played my trump card, the police! How does she still dare to hit me?! Isn't she afraid? Is she crazy?!
The surrounding crowd was shocked once again, letting out a low wave of commotion.
"My god! She hit him again?!"
"Wang Jinbiao already called the police! How could Lei Jun..."
"This is too hardcore! She isn't afraid at all?"
"It's over, it's over. The grudge is deep now; Wang Jinbiao definitely won't let this go!"
"Could she be blinded by rage? What's going to happen now?"
Wang Jinbiao recovered slightly from his stupor. The burning pain on his face and the sense of humiliation—even greater than before—almost drove him insane!
He was trembling all over with rage.
"You... you... aren't you afraid of me calling the police?! The police will be here soon! You're dead! You still dare to hit me?!"
He really couldn't understand where Lei Jun's confidence came from.
Did she think being able to fight was everything?
Could fighting power go up against the state machinery?
Truly, the ignorant are fearless!
Lei Jun shook her hand as if she hadn't just slapped a person, but an annoying fly.
Calling the police?
Having connections?
With Lei Ying around, she wasn't afraid of any of that.
"Call the police?"
"Go ahead. I'm waiting."
Lei Jun took out her phone, dialed Lei Ying's number, and said succinctly, "Lei Ying, come down to the residential square. There's something happening."
Hearing this on the other end, Lei Ying said nothing more, quickly hung up, and immediately headed downstairs.
Lei Jun put away her phone.
Wang Jinbiao watched Lei Jun make the call with venomous eyes. Hearing her call someone over, he was extremely disdainful.
Calling for backup? Now she knows to call for backup? Too late! Besides, it won't matter who she calls!
On this home turf of Modu, once it involved his brother-in-law's level, ordinary people couldn't interfere at all!
Enduring the sharp pain on his face and the monstrous hatred in his heart, he dialed a number.
"Hello! 110? I want to report a crime! I've been beaten! Yes, it's very serious, several of my teeth were knocked out!"
"It's not just me, seven or eight of my friends have been injured! The perpetrator? The perpetrator is a woman! She also has a mad dog that bit several of us!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Come quickly! If you don't come, someone's going to die!"
"That woman is very fierce and she's trying to run!"
Hanging up the phone, Wang Jinbiao seemed to have regained his confidence.
He struggled and, with the support of the other thugs, managed to stand up.
"You're finished! The police will be here any minute! I've already made it clear to the dispatcher that you intentionally caused injury and the circumstances are severe! Just wait to die!"
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you can fight and call a few people over, it'll do any good! I'm telling you, in Modu, there are some people you can't afford to provoke!"
"You have no idea how powerful my background is! When my brother-in-law gets here, you'll know what it means to have regrets when it's too late!"
"It's useless no matter who you find to plead for mercy now! Even the King of Heaven himself couldn't save you!"
The crowd began to discuss among themselves.
"Why is Wang Jinbiao so arrogant? The police haven't even arrived, and he's already so certain?"
"His brother-in-law? Who is his brother-in-law? He sounds like someone powerful."
"Does he really have some big backer? No wonder he's usually so overbearing!"
"For people with money and power, it's too easy to turn black into white..."
In the crowd, a middle-aged man frowned.
"Don't you all know yet? The reason this Wang Jinbiao dares to be so arrogant and domineering—walking his dog without a leash, letting it bite people, and stirring up trouble without any fear—is because he has a good brother-in-law!"
"His brother-in-law is the Deputy Director of our Modu City Public Security Bureau! Surnamed Zhao, he's in charge of public security and criminal investigation—a man of real power! Over the years, the shops Wang Jinbiao opened and the shady businesses he ran have benefited greatly from his brother-in-law's influence. Whenever trouble arose, his brother-in-law could always settle it. That's why he's so fearless!"
"What? Deputy Director?" An auntie nearby cried out in surprise, quickly covering her mouth, her eyes full of shock and worry.
"My god! No wonder... Lei Jun is in big trouble now!"
"A Deputy Director... that's a high-ranking official in the police system! Since Wang Jinbiao called the police, the officers who come will definitely take his side!"
"It's over, it's over. Even if Lei Jun is in the right and has evidence, I'm afraid..."
"What can be done? Lei Jun just hit him... if his brother-in-law catches wind of that..."
Everyone's hearts sank.
Officials protect one another, let alone a brother-in-law. How could a young girl like Lei Jun fight against such power?
The gazes the crowd directed at Lei Jun were filled with sympathy, worry, and even a hint of despair.
They felt that Lei Jun was likely going to suffer today.
Wang Jinbiao would surely make a big deal out of the injury assessment, statements, and evidence to crush Lei Jun.
"Sigh, what a pity for this girl, she was too impulsive..."
"Yeah, she should have endured it or run away earlier..."
"It's too late to say anything now. Once the police arrive, I'm afraid..."
Even Li Rui and his bespectacled companion's expressions became extremely unsightly.
Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy Director... this... Lei Jun is in danger!"
And those thugs who had been beaten by Afu and Lei Jun until they were crying for their parents, upon hearing that Wang Jinbiao's brother-in-law was actually the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, all seemed to receive a shot of adrenaline. The pain in their bodies didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
"Brother Biao! So your brother-in-law is Director Zhao! Why didn't you say so earlier!" A thug clutching his stomach immediately put on a fawning face and complimented him despite the pain.
"That's right, Brother Biao! You're really a hidden talent! With Director Zhao here, what do we have to fear?"
"That woman is finished! One word from Director Zhao and she'll be eating prison food!"
"Brother Biao is the one with real ability! Such wide connections! We can't go wrong following Brother Biao!"
"What happened just now was just an accident. When Director Zhao's people arrive, let's see if that woman still dares to be so arrogant!"
"Brother Biao, when this is settled, you must put in a good word for us brothers in front of Director Zhao..."
They spoke one after another, exhausting their abilities to flatter, puffing up the bruised and swollen Wang Jinbiao with pride.
Listening to these compliments, although the pain on his face was severe, the frustration and humiliation Wang Jinbiao felt from being beaten finally received a bit of relief.
He seemed to have regained that old feeling of being surrounded and revered.
He smugly raised his eyes, which were so swollen he could barely open them, trying to strike a majestic pose, but it pulled at his wounds, making him suck in a breath of cold air from the pain.
