THE MIGHTIEST LITTLE PEASANT

151-160

Chapter 151

Captain Gao was extremely enthusiastic as he shook Tang Hao’s hand. He did not want to let go.

  The villagers were all stunned when they saw the scene. They could not believe it.

  Since when was Tang Hao acquainted with a police captain? The relationship seemed to extend far beyond mere acquaintances, looking at how the police captain was treating him.

  Ma Yongnian was thoroughly dumbstruck. He stared at the scene with round, wide eyes.

  How was that possible?

  ‘Isn’t the kid just a mere peasant from a mountain village? Why does he seem like good friends with Captain Gao?’

  Then, he started yelling. “What are you doing, Captain Gao? Why aren’t you arresting him? Didn’t you see what he did to my face?

  “It doesn’t matter that the two of you are friends. He’s the one who committed assault, and therefore he should be arrested! You should know who I am right, Gao? Would you believe me if I said that I can end your career with a phone call to the commissioner?”

  Captain Gao furrowed his brows. The disdain in his eyes grew stronger.

  ‘This Ma guy is a shameless one! He brought so many hooligans with him. He should be the one who’s causing trouble,’ Captain Gao thought. He had never wanted to side that bastard.

  He considered the backgrounds of the two people. Undoubtedly, Tang Hao had more powerful people behind him.

  It was clear to him whom he should side with.

  Captain Gao coughed and said, “Well… Mr. Ma, don’t you think that you’re the one who brought trouble to the village?”

  “What the f*ck? You must be blind, Gao!” Ma Yongnian was livid. He pointed at Captain Gao and shouted, “Alright, you have balls. You want to cover for the kid, right? I’ll make sure that you’re dead too!”

  Then, he took out his phone and dialed Commissioner Xia’s number.

  “Hey, Commissioner Xia! Who did you send here? This Captain Gao is harboring the criminal! You have to sack him,” Ma Yongnian roared into the phone.

  Commissioner Xia was stunned when he heard that. He was rather confused.

  “What’s going on?” Commissioner Xia asked with a serious voice.

  “How would I know? That Gao seems to be friends with the kid who punched me, and they seem to be very close too. Commissioner Xia, is that how your subordinate should behave? He isn’t respecting the law. Do you think he’s fit to be a police captain?”

  Commissioner Xia was silent for a moment.

  He knew very well that Captain Gao was not someone who would put himself above the law and harbor criminals. Furthermore, Captain Gao knew who Ma Yongnian was.

  Captain Gao would not have harbored criminals even if they were his friends.

  He pondered the issue for a while, then had a sudden brainwave.

  The incident happened at Tang Village. Also, the person who had punched Ma Yongnian was quite young.

  ‘Could it be… him?’

  Commissioner Xia felt some unease. “What’s the name of the person who punched you?” He asked urgently.

  “Is that important? Isn’t he just some random village peasant? Right, they call him Lil Hao. His name should be Tang Hao!”
