Chapter 145: Stellar General!

looking at Xu Lei and saying, "How do you know if I'm a man or not Have you tried it"Pause. Ignoring the disdainful looks from others around, Wang Zheng took out a bottle of Wuliangye liquor, poured...Main Text Chapter 145: Military Star!

Su Tianran looked at them expressionlessly, with no discernible emotion in his eyes. However, Su Tianming’s gaze betrayed a hint of worry and anger.

The birthday banquet for their grandfather had turned out this way, which was why the passionate youth, Su Tianming, found it hard to stomach the situation. As for Wang Zheng, he actually dared to openly defy Xu Shuliang, making the atmosphere so tense that it pushed Su Tianming’s patience to its limit.

This little brother clearly didn’t have as much composure as his older brother.

"Old Han, Old Xu, this is my birthday banquet. Please give me a favor and keep your peace," said Su Fuhua with the same expressionless face, but it was clear that he wasn't pleased inside.

In fact, Su Fuhua didn’t even mention Wang Zheng’s name; he simply regarded this young man who seemed to know nothing about the world as insignificant.

Upon hearing Elder Su speak up, Xu Shuliang finally gave in, knowing that everything should have its limits. If he continued to quarrel with Han Baoguo like this, it was uncertain whether he could gain any advantage. However, if he couldn’t defeat the old man, Han Baoguo, how could he possibly hope to match Wang Zheng

Xu Shuliang glared at Wang Zheng resentfully; his eyes were filled with a complex mix of disdain and anger that seemed impossible to quell.

Wang Zheng didn’t look back at Xu Shuliang. In his opinion, this old man had already become as good as dead, barely living for another few years at most. There was no point in engaging him in a confrontation.

Just then, Su Tianran received a phone call and, after listening for a moment, he pursed his lips into a slight smile full of amusement.

After hanging up the phone, Su Tianran stood up and walked over to his grandfather’s side, whispering something in his ear.

Hearing this, Su Fuhua frowned. This small action piqued everyone’s curiosity; anything that made Elder Su frown couldn’t be a trivial matter.

Su Fuhua glanced at Wang Zheng and pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright then, the nature of this matter is quite serious. Have them handle it."

"Sure, Grandpa. They’re in Beijing and not far from here," Su Tianran replied respectfully.

"Let them come in then. Deal with it quickly and continue with the banquet." Clearly upset, Su Fuhua found it hard to accept that his birthday celebration had turned out this way, marred by so many disruptive elements.

Su Fuhua’s voice wasn’t particularly low; everyone at the table heard him. Li Yeping curiously asked, "Old Su, what happened"

Su Fuhua raised his eyelids, first looking at Wang Zheng and then at Han Baoguo before answering Li Yiping's question: "Someone here is suspected of armed robbery in Nanjiang Province, injuring a People's Armed Police officer. The Nanjiang Military Region is coming to investigate."

"Injure a police officer with gunfire Who could be so bold" Now Li Yiping was even more curious. Those sitting around the table were undoubtedly not ordinary officials; it was incredible that someone would shoot at a People's Armed Police officer in Nanjiang!

Su Fuhua closed his eyes and slowly said, "Who it is, I think we will soon find out."

"But there’s no need for the troops from the Nanjiang Military Region to carry out their mission today!" Xu Shuliang said angrily. "Don’t they know what day this is I’ll give their commander a call; what sort of thing is this!"

"No worries, no need to make that call," Su Fuhua spoke up: "I also want to find out who’s so audacious as to commit such lawless acts on Chinese soil."

Wang Zheng smiled slightly and lifted his teacup for a sip to moisten his throat.

Indeed, what was destined to come would eventually arrive; it was just a matter of time.

Injure the People's Armed Police with gunfire!

The moment those four words were uttered, the entire hall erupted into commotion!

The current social stability in China gave the illusion that there was almost no crime involving firearms. Furthermore, civilians weren’t allowed to possess guns, making such incidents extremely rare nationwide. People had lived through too many peaceful years; hearing about a gun incident now instantly made their timid hearts race.

It would be one thing if this were an ordinary shooting incident, but the fact that it involved injuring a police officer was the cause of great concern. They wanted to discuss and speculate about the matter, yet out of respect for Grandpa Su’s birthday celebration, they couldn’t speak loudly. But when hundreds of people in the room began whispering among themselves, their murmurs sounded like a swarm of flies.

Zhang Binghao’s heart tightened as soon as he heard the words "Nanjiang." The incident occurred in Nanjiang Province, and as party secretary of that province, Zhang Binghao felt responsible. Furthermore, this case had happened on his turf, and since his son Zhang Hongqi was a police officer, Zhang Binghao couldn’t help but start to doubt his own authority and influence in the region.

That an incident happening within his jurisdiction would not only go unhandled properly but also bring trouble right to Grandpa Su’s birthday celebration left Zhang Binghao sweating coldly; he couldn’t stop it if he wanted to.

The thought of the police disrupting the celebratory mood during his teacher’s birthday banquet made Zhang Binghao feel an uncontrollable sense of anxiety.

He had invited the commander and commissar from Nanjiang Military Region for dinner several days ago, but he hadn’t heard anything about this matter. Could there be some hidden reason behind their silence But why would they do such a thing

Amidst everyone’s speculations and confusion, Su Fuhua suddenly spoke up, asking Wang Zheng: "Comrade Wang Zheng, what are your thoughts on this matter"

Wang Zheng smiled slightly, appearing calm and collected as he said confidently: "It's not a small matter to injure a policeman with gunfire. Ordinary people probably don't have the guts for it; there must be some hidden circumstances."

Su Fuhua narrowed his eyes slightly, which made Wang Zheng, who was used to doing this himself, feel uncomfortable. This old man, who held an elevated status and even towered over him a little in height, now mimicked his cool pose with squinting eyes. This action bothered Wang Zheng even more.

"It's hard to say if there are hidden circumstances; we'll know the truth soon." Su Fuhua closed his eyes again to rest them.

Just then, a squad of armed policemen entered氣勢洶洶地走了進來 with guns from the doorway. Leading them was a colonel who walked to the center of the hall and glanced around before asking: "Who is Wang Zheng"

The colonel's voice was rough and hoarse, carrying an interrogative tone with superiority.

Every person present had a distinguished background; they were either wealthy or held high status. Anyone invited to Grandpa Su's birthday party would have higher status than this mere colonel. No one expected that such a small figure of a police colonel could dare to look down upon them and speak so disrespectfully!

However, some smart people immediately understood the situation; the colonel probably didn't know about today’s real circumstances at New Moon Hotel, bringing his squad in with guns drawn to arrest someone. Unbeknownst to him, this action completely ruined Grandpa Su's birthday party atmosphere.

If he knew that it was Old Master Su's eighty-fifth birthday celebration, even if they gave him a hundred膽子, he wouldn't dare bring his armed men into the venue!

At this moment, everyone looked at the colonel with pity. Bringing in an armed squad to disrupt the Su family’s birthday party was unprecedented in China. Perhaps this colonel was being used by someone else and didn't realize it.

Right when Wang Zheng was about to stand up, Zhang Binghao spoke: "Which unit are you from Do you know where you are"

Zhang Binghao felt helpless; there was no other way. These thugs came from his territory, and the case of shooting a policeman occurred on Nanjiang's soil. On his revered teacher's birthday banquet, he had to make a stand. Yet even Zhang Binghao himself couldn't determine whether this act was more about upholding his teacher’s honor or aiding Wang Zheng.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you," the colonel said roughly and straightly, then pointed his gun at Zhang Binghao as he spoke.

The room erupted into a commotion; many of those present were high-ranking officials in China.

Zhang Binghao was so enraged that he laughed: A mere police colonel dared to point a gun at him, the esteemed provincial party chief. "Tell me your unit and name, I need to contact your superiors."

"Secretary Zhang, no need," Wang Zheng stood up and walked beside the police colonel, saying, "I'm Wang Zheng."

The colonel sized Wang Zheng up briefly before immediately pointing his gun at Wang Zheng's head and barked: “Arrest him!”

At this moment, several armed policemen immediately approached, pointing their guns and brandishing shiny handcuffs to surround Wang Zheng.

"What do you want" Zhang Mingqi stood up worriedly and asked loudly. As a woman, she had been quite anxious seeing so many armed policemen with real weapons aimed at Wang Zheng just now.

"Which unit are you from" Marshal Han Baoguo was also somewhat unsettled when he saw several guns pointing directly at Wang Zheng.

Su Fuhua slowly said, "Old Han, please sit down first. We don't know who shot the policeman yet. If the final investigation result is not Wang Zheng, then Wang Zheng will certainly be cleared of suspicion. If it's someone else, we can’t say anything."

Since Su Fuhua had already said this, Han Baoguo couldn’t argue further.

"I've said I hate being pointed at with guns," Wang Zheng’s voice was somewhat low and deep: "Especially by my fellow Chinese citizens’ gun barrels."

The captain said impatiently, "Less talk, take him away! The suspect is dangerous; handcuff him firmly!"

"No need for that. I'll go with you to explain," Wang Zheng didn't want to make a big scene given the importance of people present in this place.

However, the captain insisted stubbornly: "Not possible. He must be handcuffed; higher-ups have already instructed that Wang Zheng is dangerous. If there are any signs of resistance or escape, he can be shot on the spot!"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Wang Zheng’s eyes while Zhang Mingqi's face turned deathly pale.

Finally, Han Tuosu couldn't hold back his fiery temper: "I’m Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Military District, Han Tuosu. Who allowed you to act lawlessly and violently"

The captain looked down on Han Tuosu and said coldly, “The Capital Military District can’t manage the Southern Jiang Commanding Area; it’s a different system altogether. Even if you are truly Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Military District, you have no authority to stop me from arresting someone."

Han Tuosu was furious and wanted to immediately issue orders for troops but heard a cold voice coming from the doorway.

The voice wasn’t loud yet could clearly be heard in every corner of the hall!

"If he doesn't have the right, what about me"

Everyone turned to look at the doorway where an elderly man in Chinese military uniform was standing, with two rows of guards following behind him.sense Bella's eyes on him like a wolf that had been starving for days spotting an oily piece of prey.Eventually, Wang Zheng spared himself one last shred of modesty, treating it as his final cover.
