Chapter 277: Chapter 279: Good Brothers
“You were looking for me?” the man asked, puzzled, as he looked at Xiao Han.
“Yes,” Xiao Han nodded and said, “I’m a student from Shuimu University. I’m here today because my classmate fought a thief. What do you think?”
“The one with the temper?” the man snorted coldly and said, “I won’t release him. He broke someone’s ribs, and the person was sent to the hospital. This is a typical case of intentional injury.”
“But, he stole my classmate’s wallet,” Xiao Han asked.
“Stealing a wallet is just theft,” the chief said with a faint smile, then added, “But what he did was intentional harm.”
“If it hadn’t been for the thief stealing the wallet, my classmate wouldn’t have chased him,” Xiao Han countered and argued forcefully, “And if the thief hadn’t tried to attack him, why would he have fought back? All of this was just to protect his own legitimate interests. How could it be considered intentional injury?”
“Humph, do I call the shots here, or do you?” the chief sneered.
“So you’re saying you won’t release him?” Xiao Han asked coldly.
“Yes,” the chief nodded, then smiled and said, “If you want me to release him, it’s simple. Pay up!”
“How much?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
“One hundred thousand!” the chief smiled and said, “It’s hard to explain to the family, and also, someone should cover the medical expenses, right?”
“Haha, one hundred thousand,” Xiao Han laughed derisively, then said, “I suppose ninety thousand of that is going into your pocket, right?”
“Don’t spout nonsense, kid,” the chief picked his nose and then said, “Otherwise, I’ll have to charge you with defamation.”
“If you’re unwilling, then forget it,” Xiao Han said lightly, then turned and left.
Returning to the detention room, Zhang Dagou and a few others came back and then asked, “How did it go?”
“Unwilling!” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “The police station won’t release him.”
“What do we do now?” Liu Bin asked anxiously.
“Hehe, I have a way,” Xiao Han’s mouth curled into a sly smile, then he said, “Zhang Feng, where is that person now?”
“In the hospital!” Zhang Feng replied, then added, “I heard he was taken to the hospital.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Han said upon hearing this, “Good, let’s go find him in the hospital.”
“What for?” Zhang Feng asked, puzzled.
“What else?” Xiao Han’s mouth curled into a sly smile, then he said, “To have him spill the beans. As long as there’s insider info, they won’t dare not release him. Humph.”
Zhang Feng looked at everyone, then said, “Xiao Han, Liu Bin, Da Gu, thank you!”
“No worries!” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “Who else would we be if not good brothers?”
“Thank you!” Zhang Feng was visibly moved.
Indeed, after being brought to the police station, his brothers had rushed over at once. And they had been tirelessly working for his sake. Therefore, Zhang Feng felt incredibly touched and overwhelmed with emotion.
Xiao Han led the group away from the police station and then turned towards a nearby hospital.
The thief had been admitted to the hospital, just out of surgery, with broken ribs, having undergone a recovery operation. He was now lying in a general ward for observation. The pain was severe, especially just after waking up from the anesthesia, making it even more unbearable.
He hadn’t dared inform his family; if his relatives knew, they would definitely scold him fiercely. For now, he could only endure, fortunately, the chief had promised some compensation. He hoped the compensation wouldn’t be too meager. After all, he had definitely lost his ability to work these past few days, and he could only rely on this compensation to get by. Without it, he didn’t know how he would manage to live.
Lying in the hospital bed, inhaling the smell of disinfectant, the thief felt immensely pained and helpless.
He was contemplating his life, his future. He couldn’t be a thief forever. Today wasn’t the first time he’d been beaten, nor would it be the last. Sooner or later, should he encounter someone with a volatile temper, he was bound to suffer, to be unlucky.
Knock, knock, knock…

A series of knocks sounded. He figured it was the nurse coming to change his dressing.
“Come in!” the thief answered.
At that moment, three men walked in. Liu Bin, who was last, closed the door behind them and locked it.
“You…” the thief looked at Xiao Han and his group and asked, “Who are you?”
“Hehe…” Xiao Han chuckled and said, “I heard you got beaten up at the train station today. Is that true?”
“Yes.” The thief nodded.
“Why were you beaten?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“Because I was stealing…” The thief started to say but immediately cut himself off. He snapped, “What’s it to you guys? Just leave, or I’ll call the police.”
“We won’t give you any chance to call the police,” Xiao Han said as he slowly walked over.
The thief was terrified, and shivering, he looked at them and said, “What do you want to do!”
“We don’t want to do anything!” Xiao Han responded with a light smile, then said, “I heard that you, lad, are related to the chief of the station’s police station, right?”
“Nonsense, if I had such a relative, would I be out here doing this?” the thief hurriedly said.
“Hehe!” Xiao Han chuckled and said, “Telling me this now is useless. I need you to tell the truth, understand? Do you know what honesty is? Just confess honestly and clarify the situation. That way, we can all go back to sleep sooner, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” the thief turned his head, his face defiant.
“Very well.” Xiao Han walked over slowly and said, “If you don’t talk today, I’ll make you experience the pain of broken bones once again.”
“You dare!” shouted the thief angrily.
Before he could finish, Xiao Han’s hand was already pressing down on his chest. His fingers cruelly pressed down right where he had surgery. Just as he was speaking, he immediately felt waves of stabbing pain penetrating to his bones.
“Ah, it hurts… it hurts…” the thief cried out loudly, “Don’t touch me, it’s so painful, I’m dying.”
“You know pain now?” Xiao Han’s mouth slightly curled up in a sinister smile, “Knowing the pain is not too late, but boy, you better spit out the truth quickly, or I won’t stop.”
“You… let go of me!” the thief roared.
“Hehe…” Xiao Han’s mouth curled up in a sinister smile, then he said, “Just confess.”
Meanwhile, Liu Bin had already turned on his phone and pointed the camera at the thief. He recorded everything with the camera and captured everything the man said. However, the guy simply refused to speak.
Xiao Han looked furious, grasping the man’s arm with one hand and giving it a fierce twist.
Crack…
The wrist joint had dislocated. The man immediately let out a sharp scream, “Ah, it’s killing me, what… what did you do to me!”
“Hehe, this is just the beginning!” Xiao Han’s mouth curved up into a sinister smile, “You know you’ll suffer but still refuse to talk, why bother? The chief will not stick his neck out for you because you’re just a thief, and he’s an officer. He would rather have nothing to do with you, even though you make him a good amount of money each month. But remember, he’s an officer, and you’re a thief. Don’t think you can ever truly cooperate with him.”
The man was stunned, and awkwardly looking at him, he hesitated for a long time, “But, if I speak out, do you think he’ll let me off?”
“Of course!” Xiao Han laughed, “This won’t be from you voluntarily speaking; you’re being forced. He won’t blame you. Anyone whose life is under threat will confess, especially you, right?”
“Alright, I’ll talk.” The man dared not refuse. He could only honestly divulge his collusion with the chief.
Actually, not only at the provincial city’s station, but in many stations across the country, it’s the same. Thieves in the stations are actually controlled by someone behind the scenes, either station leaders or leaders from the police stations at the stations. These people in control of real power inside the stations have the right to speak. They control the truth and everything. The thieves give nearly half of their profits each month to appease those above them. Only with such arrangements can their work proceed orderly and their personal safety ensured.
Even if they get caught and taken to the police station, they can be released quickly. If they get beaten at the station, eventually a leader intervenes and either fines the assailant or incarcerates him for assault. Ultimately, the person who did the beating will just obediently pay up because they understand the real situation. It’s all a game of officials and thieves.
Under the man’s narrative, some of the inside details of the station police chief were also fully revealed.
Xiao Han’s mouth curved into a sinister smile, and after finishing the recording, he waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
“Am I… am I out of this?” the thief quickly asked.
“You’re out of this,” Xiao Han nodded.
Upon hearing this, the thief immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Han and his team quickly left. After they departed, the thief also quickly left the hospital. He had to leave immediately because once this matter was exposed, he assumed the chief would hardly let him off lightly. Even if he was a distant relative, he likely wouldn’t spare him. These days, it’s not just distant relatives that come under scrutiny; even blood relations might not hesitate to act ruthlessly.
Xiao Han and the others left the hospital, Liu Bin asked, “Xiao Han, what do you plan to do?”
“I’ll go have a good talk with the chief!” Xiao Han smiled and said, “Today, we must take Zhang Feng with us; otherwise, that young man will be tortured to death by them.”
“They won’t let us take him away,” Liu Bin said seriously, “They might even arrest us for inciting disturbances.”
“So, we can’t all go in together.” Xiao Han glanced at the other two and then said, “I’ll go in alone. You two wait outside the police station. At least let him know that not all of us are at the scene, and that we are prepared with a backup plan.”
