Chapter 1396 You may have money and power, but can you buy your life?
The expressions on the two policemen's faces were priceless, but mostly they were awkward. Kang Huai-ren walked over and chuckled as he spoke.
“Officers, it’s an honor for you to be Brother Dong’s dogs. Don’t be ungrateful. Now go over there and arrest this old woman. I suspect that the person who robbed the jewelry store yesterday was her accomplice.”
The neighbors stared at the lawyer in disbelief, and some of the more educated ones finally understood what it meant to call a deer a horse.
Prince Dong nodded in satisfaction.
“Ah Ren is right. I was there yesterday and I clearly saw this old woman shooting at the police car with an AK47. Officers, if you want to get credit, hurry up and arrest her.”
The two policemen were seething with anger, cursing inwardly that this was utter nonsense. They patrolled this area and had even drunk the sweet soup that Aunt Chen had poured for them yesterday. How could they possibly rob someone? Besides, could someone so small even lift a submachine gun?
Crown Prince Dong rolled his eyes.
"What? You doubt it? If I, Crown Prince Dong, say it is, then it is. Quickly arrest this old woman so I can take these two beauties out for a big meal."
His men laughed, and the neighbors were trembling with anger, but there was nothing they could do.
Two policemen reluctantly stepped forward and whispered to Chen Zhaodi.
“Aunt Chen, please don’t blame us. Come with us.”
Chen Zhaodi steeled her heart, raised the kitchen knife, and shouted at them.
"Are you trying to force us to our deaths? Then let's all die together."
Crown Prince Dong and his men burst into laughter, and he pointed at Chen Zhaodi and shouted.
"Old woman, do you have the ability to take us both down with you?"
Chen Zhaodi gripped the kitchen knife with both hands and shouted loudly.
“My daughter is a lawyer, she won’t let you get away with this, don’t be so arrogant.”
Crown Prince Dong spread his arms wide and shouted wildly.
“In Mong Kok, no one dares to disagree with what I, Prince Tung, say. I have money and power, so I can be arrogant.”
At that moment, a gloomy voice rang out.
"Stop bragging. You may have money and power, but can you buy your life?"
Prince Dong was startled and was about to turn around when a slender, gleaming dagger slowly emerged from his neck. Prince Dong immediately froze, turning his head slowly.
He saw a handsome young man in a black shirt and trousers standing in front of him, holding a short knife with the sharp blade held against Prince Dong's neck.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in uniform walked in. She came up to Prince Dong and slapped him twice across the face with gritted teeth. Prince Dong didn't even dare to move his face, because if he moved even slightly, the blade of that short knife would cut into his throat.
The two uniformed policemen, upon seeing the beautiful woman's rank, were so startled that they immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Madam!"
Seeing her savior arrive, Chen Zhaodi quickly and gratefully put away the kitchen knife and said to the beautiful woman in uniform.
"Thank you, officer. This man is extremely vicious; he tried to rob and assault a woman..."
The beautiful woman took off her hat, grabbed Chen Zhaodi, and called out.
"Mother, it's me, Jiali."
Chen Zhaodi finally dared to look up at the police officer. It was indeed her daughter. However, she was puzzled because her daughter had left in a suit that morning. Why was she wearing a police uniform when she came back? Moreover, this police uniform looked different from the two military uniforms.
Of course they're different. The current military uniform is just all green, with short green shorts, while the Chief Superintendent wears a large lapel, a shirt, and a tie, along with a black sash in addition to his rank insignia.
Wow, you're so cool, sister!
Jia Tong and Jia Ying rushed over and hugged their older sister. Huo Jiali always doted on her two younger sisters, and she was very happy to hug them.
Prince Dong dared not move, he could only cry out.
“Madam, you’re a police officer, you know. Make this bastard put down the knife.”
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Dao's eyes. If it weren't for his future mother-in-law and sister-in-law being there, he would have already stabbed Prince Dong in the neck.
"Ali, what's going on? How did you become a police officer?"
Huo Jiali nodded.
"Mom, what's going on here?"
Upon seeing that he had found a powerful backer, Chen Dafu quickly stood up, clutching his stomach. The neighbors explained everything in detail, and Huo Jiali was furious. She turned around and saw the timid Kang Huai Ren.
"Kang, you bastard, get over here and tell me what's going on?"
Kang Huai-ren finished reading, but he just couldn't believe that Huo Jia-li would become a Chinese police superintendent. He puffed out his chest and walked over with a big laugh.
"That beauty..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jiali kicked him, and Kang Huai-ren immediately jumped up, clutching his crotch, his face turning as red as a ripe shrimp.
Huo Jiali pouted.
"Are we that close? How dare you call me that?"
She wasn't quite familiar with her identity yet, so she looked to Xiaodao for help.
Xiao Dao smiled, winked, and turned to the two men in military uniforms.
“This is Chief Superintendent Huo Jiali. She was attacked by triad members here. Immediately notify your police station and Officer Zhu from Au Kee, and have them come here.”
Although the two uniformed officers didn't know Xiao Dao's identity, with Chief Superintendent Huo Jiali present, they dared not be negligent and quickly agreed before running out.
Mothers have a natural sensitivity to their daughters' boyfriends, so Chen Zhaodi quickly tugged at Huo Jiali's clothes and asked in a low voice.
"Daughter, who is this handsome young man?"
Huo Jiali turned around and glanced at Xiaodao, then smiled sweetly.
"My fiancé."
"what?"
Chen Zhaodi and her neighbors were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word for a long time. Chen Zhaodi scratched her head, completely bewildered by what had happened. Her daughter had gone out in the morning looking worried, as if the lawsuit was going to be difficult, but how could she have returned in the evening as a police officer and having a fiancé?
"Oh, Mom, I'll tell you the details later."
Xiao Dao slowly sheathed his knife. He looked at Prince Dong with a mocking expression. Prince Dong stretched his neck, which had been stiff for the past few minutes. He secretly slipped behind his subordinate and then pointed at Xiao Dao and shouted.
"Kill him!"
This immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors. Prince Dong's men jumped up with a roar, drew their watermelon knives, and charged at Xiao Dao.
Xiao Dao turned around and called out to Huo Jiali.
"Close your eyes and cover your ears."
Huo Jiali quickly covered her two younger sisters' eyes, and the two little girls also wisely covered their ears.
Instead of retreating, Xiao Dao advanced, two gleaming blades appearing in his palms. With his current martial arts skills, how could this rabble be a match for him?
Screams rang out one after another. Xiao Dao had refrained from killing them because his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were present, but even so, he had severed the tendons of more than a dozen people...
