Chapter 12: Smashing the Door

  "What is this." Sun Yang initially didn't understand, but his second reaction immediately woke him up. This kid wouldn't be coming to "offer tribute" to himself, would he? As for corruption, although Sun Yang hadn't personally experienced it before, he had still heard about it.

  Xiao Zhang hastily waved his hands: "Sun Suo, don't misunderstand me, I'm not here to bribe you! This is produced in our mountain village, my mom personally picked it, and we roasted it ourselves at home, so it can't be considered a bribe!"

  Sun Yang's interest was piqued when he heard it was tea leaves. This thing, after two hundred years, due to over-picking, had no wild ones left. But this could be considered a gift? Sun Yang furrowed his brow, feeling that accepting it would be giving people something to talk about. However, looking again at Little Zhang's sincere eyes, it was clear he was grateful for the rescue at last night's banquet, or perhaps mainly wanted to make a statement. Since this tea was completely homemade, it should fall under local specialties, and accepting it wouldn't be a big issue. Moreover, it would mean having an additional relatively loyal subordinate. As someone who had just arrived, it wasn't good to chill the other person's enthusiasm.

  "Ah, okay, Auntie Cai's daughter brought tea, I'll try some." Sun Yang smiled and nodded, taking the paper bag. He casually pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his drawer, which he had already smoked two packs of. Sun Yang handed one to Little Zhang: "Don't be polite with me!"

  Xiao Zhang took one look and knew that Sun had taken him in as one of his own, a smile blooming on his face, no pretenses, repeatedly thanking him as he accepted it.

  "By the way, Little Zhang," Sun Yang asked seemingly unintentionally: "Do you know that there's a Thief Street here?"

  "Of course I know!" Little Zhang immediately replied: "Sun Suo, you also know Zei Street?"

  Sun Yang furrowed his brow and didn't say a word.

  Xiao Zhang immediately reacted and continued to say: "Our Jinma's thief street is on Shun Cheng Street, in the past, Liu Suo and Wang Suo led a team to sweep several times every year, but they just couldn't eradicate it!"

  "Is it because of police force?" Sun Yang asked further.

  "There is a problem with the police force, and every time we go, we can't catch the big fish, only small fry!" Little Zhang said in frustration.

  "Is that so......" Sun Yang smiled and said: "Alright, I know. You go ahead with your work first, I still need to check some more data."

  Xiao Zhang didn't know what Sun Yang meant either, but since his purpose for coming had been achieved, he naturally should retreat too, so he agreed and took out a cigarette to leave.

  Sun Yang lit a cigarette for himself, and his eyebrows knitted together again. It seemed that things had become very clear - this matter was obviously someone spreading rumors! The only thing was, who exactly...

  After getting off work in the evening, Sun Yang didn't have any new dinner plans, so he went home directly. As soon as he got upstairs, he heard the sound of "bang bang" and quarreling voices from the stairs. Sun Yang couldn't help but furrow his brow, thinking to himself that this house he rented was really a magnet for thieves and hoodlums.

  But when Sun Yang went up to the third floor and took a look, it turned out that the door that had been kicked in was actually his own home! A sturdy middle-aged man with two robust big and little guys, the middle-aged man directing, the two big and little guys kicking the door with all their might, while loudly cursing.

  Because of the strong dialect flavor, Sun Yang could only hear a little bit, but from the frequently appearing "mom" word combined with the tone and attitude, it must be dirty words without a doubt.

  Staring at the large footprints on the wooden door, Sun Yang felt a sense of discontent in his heart. Ever since he became the director of this police station, things have been so humiliating! A foolish college student even dared to secretly compete with him, and now some thieves had stolen his clothes, and these few hooligans were still daring enough to knock on the door! Sun Yang crossed his arms, coldly staring at those three hooligans. Before he could even open his mouth, unexpectedly they took the initiative to provoke him!

  That middle-aged man turned around and saw Sun Yang, immediately frowning and shouting: "None of your business! Mind your own affairs!"

  Sun Yang sized him up, this man in his forties, with a buzz cut that showed off his scalp, dressed simply but with an arrogant glint in his eye. Sun Yang was left speechless by his words and jerked his chin upwards: "This is my home."

  Perhaps it was Sun Yang's words that were not good, and they enraged the two little boys who were kicking the door. One of the little boys with yellow hair pointed at Sun Yang and started scolding: "What's your relationship with that little bitch Xia Xue?" He could tell that Sun Yang was an outsider, and he even deliberately used poor Mandarin to scold him.

  Sun Yang's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes. Although he had been reborn, he was still motherless in both lives. He had always had beautiful fantasies about mothers. This young man actually dared to scold him like that, Sun Yang couldn't help but harbor evil intentions.

  At this moment, the small door on the top of the building suddenly opened, and Xia Xue hurriedly ran down from above. The building only had three floors in total, so everyone including Sun Yang was stunned for a moment.

  "He has nothing to do with it, he's just renting the house!" Perhaps due to fear, Xia Xue's voice was not loud but very clear, enough for everyone to understand what she was saying. Xia Xue ran to Sun Yang's front, trying her best to push him away, while repeatedly urging: "You hurry up and leave! This has nothing to do with you!"

  "What's going on? This house is now rented to me, it's my home! They're kicking down the door of my own home!" Sun Yang instinctively felt that this matter wasn't so simple, and besides, the situation was closely related to himself. Moreover, he, Sun Yang, had never escaped from the hail of bullets and swords in the past, how could he possibly pretend to be a coward in front of these three thugs?

  "Wow!" The yellow-haired kid's whole body seemed to have fallen apart, walking with a wobbly gait, and said in a mysterious tone: "Still quite sentimental!"

  Another slightly older punk with a black face yelled at Sun Yang: "Damn it, you're unlucky! Get your stuff and get out of here!"

  Xia Xue was afraid that Sun Yang would mess with the city people's temper, and tightly hugged Sun Yang's arm, pleading: "You'd better leave quickly! Those two brothers are hooligans! You can't afford to offend them!"

  It wasn't a big deal to take care of the three old men, but Sun Yang was still unhappy and wanted to figure out what was going on. So he stood still with his feet nailed to the ground, asking Xia Xue: "Who are they? What's going on?"

  Xia Xue could hear the determination in Sun Yang's voice, so she quietly and briefly introduced the situation: "They are my second uncle and two cousins. After my parents left, they left the house to me, but my second uncle insisted that my parents had borrowed money from his family when they bought the house, so he's forcing me to repay the debt. If not, he wants to sell the house and split the money... In fact, this house was allocated by my father's work unit, and my father was the principal of the school in the past. Our family situation is much better than theirs, and we often helped them out. How could they have lent us money?"
