Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 270 - 269: Dust Settles (Fourth Update)

Silently cursing in his heart, which son of a turtle caused trouble for this young master for no reason, isn’t this intentionally bringing trouble upon himself?

If Mr. Han gets angry, even ten people like him wouldn’t be able to withstand it. He thought it was a joke when he received the call from above today—how could it be possible to arrest General Han’s grandson?

He thought he had heard it wrong; seeing it with his own eyes, how could his heart not skip a beat?

Zhang Minghan felt a chill in his heart. Director Hao personally stepped in. If Han Xiao were just an ordinary person, would Director Hao need to act this way?

Totally submissive, almost like a head-bobbing lapdog.

Han Xiao?

The surname is Han, so powerful that even Director Hao bows down?

General Han!?

Doomed.

Zhang Minghan broke out in a cold sweat, his legs feeling a bit weak.

Could it be who he’s thinking of?

How could it be?

General Han’s grandson, what is he doing in such a rundown neighborhood for no reason?

Xing Tao immediately dashed energetically to Han Xiao’s side, "Director Hao, I just said not to lean against the radiator. This shows that Captain Zhang really messes up right and wrong."

If not now to lay a trap, then when?

Director Hao’s face indeed turned sullen as he turned to ask Zhang Minghan, "Did you lead the team to arrest them?"

It’s all this kid’s fault, causing such big trouble for no reason. Inviting trouble is easy, but sending it away is hard.

Zhang Minghan shuddered slightly, "It was me, but I didn’t expect..."

Before Zhang Minghan could explain, Han Xiao pointed at him and said, "Your Captain Zhang is such a model of abuse of power, Director Hao. Shouldn’t you clean this place up? Is the police station privately owned? Seeing thugs, shouldn’t the police step up for the people? Yet the police help thugs deal with good citizens. What is going on here?"

No chance of revenge, Han Xiao won’t let Zhang Minghan off easy.

Zhang Minghan’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat.

This one obviously can’t be dealt with easily.

Director Hao immediately smiled and explained, "Mr. Han, this is my mistake. This Captain Zhang has been here only for half a year and isn’t familiar with the situation. He was directly appointed from above, and we only learned today that such crooks exist in our team, those who don’t serve the people.

Rest assured, we will handle this matter seriously. We won’t tolerate any opportunists in our police ranks. Starting today, Zhang Minghan is suspended and under investigation."

On Director Hao’s command, Zhang Minghan’s police insignia was removed, and two of Xing Tao’s men immediately took him away.

This is absolutely the time to perform well.

The door was pushed open, and Lu Qi walked in. Director Hao broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing Lu Qi.

Just how many people has Zhang Minghan offended?

He glanced at Han Xiao leisurely in pajamas smoking a cigarette, then over at Gu Xiaoqing standing aside, "You’re okay now?"

Han Xiao immediately jumped up like a wild cat, "Who said I’m okay? Look at these people showing up in broad daylight to smash the shop. If I hadn’t stepped up courageously, Gu Xiaoqing would have been beaten. Imagine how you’d explain that to Fang Shaohan then."

Lu Qi didn’t bother with Han Xiao’s arrogant demeanor, turning to Director Hao, "Director Hao, you need to handle this matter seriously. It’s terrifying for ordinary citizens when a bunch of thugs dares to come out to smash and rob in broad daylight."

Director Hao nodded immediately, seriously instructing Xing Tao beside him, "Make sure to handle this matter seriously. Our police must manage the aftermath well and never condone any criminals."

Xing Tao immediately promised to handle the case well.

Lu Qi asked Han Xiao, "Can you walk?"

Han Xiao grinned, "Of course, you think I’m made of mud? If I got beaten and the old man found out, he’d kill me, considering me a disgrace."

Putting his arm around Lu Qi’s shoulder, they walked toward the door without a care in the world.

Before reaching the door, Han Xiao remembered Gu Xiaoqing, hurriedly turning back to say, "Gu Xiaoqing, come on, why are you standing there foolishly? Director Hao is handling the rest."

Director Hao wiped his sweat, watching the three walk out, finally relieved.

Glad they’re finally gone.

Turning to Xing Tao, he said, "Today’s case must be handled carefully, no negligence allowed. Also, keep a closer watch over this shop in the future. As a part of your precinct, if anything happens, it’ll be a big trouble, given Han Xiao and Lu Qi’s friends. I still want to hold this position for a few more years."

Xing Tao nodded, of course he’d be diligent.

Today he turned the tables, all thanks to that girl’s word.

This is divine assistance.

He will definitely make efforts to befriend such people.

Although he doesn’t know Gu Xiaoqing’s background, seeing Director Hao fawning over Han Xiao and Lu Qi shows they’re backed by untouchable figures.

Clearly, he needs to plan well.

Subsequently, Zhang Minghan was directly investigated by the disciplinary committee, expelled from the party, relieved of all duties, and kicked out of the police force.

Xing Tao was directly appointed as the new captain of the criminal police brigade, taking over Qu Feng, and under repeated interrogation, the welder and his people confessed all crimes.

It turned out Gu Xiaoqing’s landlord’s son was addicted to gambling, almost bankrupting their family, hence trying to sell his dad’s property.

Borrowed a usurious loan outside, unable to repay on due, the loan sharks showed up to collect.

The unfilial son ran away, not caring about his father’s fate, leading the landlord to face the loan sharks.

The loan sharks demanded repayment, the landlord mentioned the unfilial son, so they planned to apply pressure to sell the property to repay.

This led to today’s incident; Gu Xiaoqing was truly caught in a disaster by accident.

With police intervention, the matter quickly cleared up, and the welder compensated Gu Xiaoqing for all losses, including mental damages and lost wages, ensuring there’s more than enough. Police involvement expedited the payment.

Due to this incident, the landlord decided not to keep the property, so after consulting Gu Xiaoqing, finally sold it to her.

Including an upstairs two-bedroom apartment sold to Gu Xiaoqing.

This is something Gu Xiaoqing did not anticipate.

(In adversity comes gain.)

Things seem to have settled down. Gu Xiaoqing’s shop was renovated and reopened, business is good, and the Li Sisters have settled down to work here peacefully.

Gu Xiaoqing feels she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
