Chapter 1324
reprimanded Route 1
It's clear that Shi Suo, Yang Jinsong, and Yu Qingguo have a history of kicking people during missions.
The thugs who had been kicked by these three men were all incapacitated and lay there groaning in pain.
Wang Yi's kicking technique was completely reckless; if he hadn't stopped, the thug on the ground would probably have been kicked to death.
However, it was also clear that among these six thugs, although Bao Zhijun was the leader, the person Wang Yi hated the most was the kid at Wang Yi's feet.
There was nothing Wang Yi could do; the way he looked down at the kid was off, as if killing him wouldn't be enough to vent his anger.
And from beginning to end, Wang Yi only focused on kicking this kid, almost knocking his sneakers off his feet.
After Wang Yi stopped, Wang An asked him with a smile:
"How's it going, Xiao Yi? Did you get your revenge this time?"
Wang Yi kicked the kid again, saying angrily:
"If he hadn't been watching me every day, I wouldn't have been robbed of so much money."
Wang An said to Shi Suo with a smile:
"Brother Shi, did you hear that? Once this kid's been dragged over the fence, you guys better take good care of him. Look how angry my little brother is, he's almost crying, hahaha."
Wang An was still bothered by Wang Li's previous distrust of him.
The main problem is that Wang An, a former company commander from a humble background, was actually questioned about his abilities by his own younger brother!
How is this possible?
Hearing Wang An's sarcastic tone towards his younger brother, Shi Suo and the other two looked at Wang Yi, then at Wang An, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing, Wang An grabbed Bao Zhijun's clothes and casually threw them on the ground as well.
The key issue is that his companions are all on the ground, and it's not appropriate for him to be on the kang (heated brick bed) alone.
Then, Wang An clapped his hands and said to Shi Suo and the others:
"Alright, throw these bastards back into your station. As for the charges, just call them extortion and robbery. Damn it, they even steal money from students. They're nothing."
To Wang An, Bao Zhijun and his ilk were utterly worthless. If they hadn't bullied Wang Yi, Wang An probably wouldn't have even given them a second glance.
Thus, under Wang An's instructions, Shi Suo and the other two put silver bracelets on Qiu Zhijun and the other five.
After being kicked repeatedly, the six thugs became completely obedient. Even though they walked in strange ways, they were all led to the lock.
Back at the lock, Wang An glanced at his watch and said to the three men, including Shi Suo:
"Let's lock them up for a while first, then we'll go eat. You can interrogate them again when we come back after we've eaten."
Regardless of their relationship, Shi Suo had gone to great lengths to help, so in Wang An's view, it was only right that they have a meal together.
Shi Suo declined directly:
"Oh dear, what kind of relationship do we have? It's just a small matter, there's no need for a meal."
Yang Jinsong immediately declined, saying:
"We didn't do anything. Besides, we're just following Brother Shi around. Why would we need to eat?"
Wang An said with a smile:
"It's just a meal. Look how well you two have become friends. What? You won't eat unless you do something? Hurry up and get it over with."
At Wang An's insistence, Shi Suo and the other two finally got into Wang An's GAZ.
The state-run restaurant was the closest, so Wang An drove straight there. It was lunchtime, but business was surprisingly slow; only three or four tables were occupied. This showed that the state-run restaurant was declining day by day, like an old lady celebrating her birthday.
There were five people in total: four grown men and one teenager. They were all big eaters, so Wang An ordered six dishes without hesitation.
Braised pork belly, boiled mutton, deep-fried ribbonfish, braised beef brisket with radish, braised pork belly with sauerkraut, vermicelli and tofu, and braised pig's head.
Wang An originally wanted to order a stew of wild pheasant and mushrooms, but the waiter's cold reply, "We're out of time," made Wang An choose to change the dish without hesitation.
There was no way around it; in those days, the waiters at state-run restaurants were full-time employees. They didn't tolerate anyone and had an attitude of "take it or leave it" towards everyone. They were really not to be trifled with.
To be honest, this is actually the reason why the business of state-run restaurants has gradually declined. Who doesn't want to have a pleasant meal and who wants to see the waiter's gloomy and sour face?
With fewer customers, the food was served quickly; in less than 20 minutes, people started calling out to serve the dishes at the serving area.
In those days, although the service attitude of state-run restaurants was quite poor, it must be admitted that the chefs in state-run restaurants had absolutely impeccable skills.
The same dish, when cooked by a chef in a state-run restaurant, will definitely taste much better than that in an ordinary restaurant.
Looking at the table laden with delicious food, Shi Suo said a little embarrassedly:
"Brother Xiao An, you've gone to too much trouble. It's such a small thing, and you've made me feel embarrassed."
The six dishes, all meat, cost Wang An a full 15 yuan and 2 mao, which could be considered a waste of money.
Wang An said with a smile:
"Are you still not done? How long has it been since we had a meal together? Besides, Brother Yang and Brother Yu have been running around taking care of things, so having a meal together shouldn't cause any problems. Come on, stop with the nonsense and let's get started."
As he spoke, Wang An picked up his wine glass.
Shi Suo, Yang Jingsong, and Yu Qingguo had to go to work in the afternoon, so the four of them didn't drink much. The bottle of wine was divided among the four of them, and each person drank exactly 2.5 liang (100 ml). As for Wang Yi, he drank soda.
And just like that, the meal ended perfectly in less than 40 minutes, with only a little soup left on the plate.
After the meal, Wang An drove Shi Suo and the other two back to Pei Chusuo, then drove to Wu Dong's house.
On the way, Wang An asked Wang Yi with a smile:
"How was it? Did your older brother handle this matter well? Did you get your revenge?"
Wang Yi chuckled and said:
"I've vented my anger, I've vented my anger, hehehehe. If I had known you were still this mean, I would have come looking for you sooner."
Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a touch of smugness:
"What are you saying? In DJ County, there's nothing your brother can't handle right now, you know that?"
Changing the subject, Wang An then reprimanded Wang Yi with a serious expression:
“Remember this, Xiao Yi, I’m your older brother, the one who’ll stand up for you guys. It’s not shameful to come to me if you need anything. But you’re the one who’s been holding it in. What’s wrong with you? Doesn’t it hurt when you get beaten up? Doesn’t it hurt when someone steals your money?”
"You've really grown some guts, going so far as to shoot someone. What, you think you can kill someone without paying for it with your own life? Tell me, is it worth it to trade your life for those scoundrels?"
And so, on the way to Wu Dong's house, Wang An reprimanded Wang Yi the entire way. (End of Chapter)
