PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM I

Chapter 181: Born With Extraordinary Strength

As instructed by the police chief, Xiao Luo was to pick three auxiliary policemen to make up his team, and he picked Liu Tieguo, Ye Qiu, and Wang Lihu. He hadn’t planned on pulling Liu Tieguo into this, not since he owed Liu Tieguo a favor, and he really did not want to put him in any danger. But in the end, Liu Tieguo insisted, and Xiao Luo couldn’t dissuade him from being a part of the team.

As for the other two, Ye Qiu and Wang Lihu were both born troublemakers, and that was well known among the police officers in the station. They had worked for two years, but yet a promotion was nowhere in sight for them. It wasn’t because they did not have the necessary skills and experience, but rather because they would often get into trouble.

For instance, they were supposed to mediate a dispute between city patrol officers and melon farmers. Not only did they fail to resolve the conflict, they even sided with the melon farmers and beat up the city patrol officers.

In another incident, Ye Qiu and Wang Lihu chased an alleged thief that got away. However, after they caught him, they didn’t question him at all before hitting him with sticks and knocked out two teeth. Later investigations then revealed that the person was, in fact, not a thief at all. A couple happened to have a fight, and the wife lied to the police about her husband being a thief for them to catch him.

Therefore, people in the substation put a label on Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu, “thugs in uniforms! ”

Xiao Luo chose them because he took a fancy to their character of daring to stand up to criminals, or to anyone else for that matter.

He did not want to rope in chicken-hearted cowards, but instead, tusked beasts who was not afraid to tear up the enemy.

As it turned out, Ye Qiu and Wang Lihu deeply resented that a fresh auxiliary police officer had gotten the chance to become a regular officer in next to no time. In addition to that, they also despised Xiao Luo because Ma Pijin had been planting the seeds of discontent among his colleagues to convince them that Xiao Luo was only promoted because of his connections.

“First, prove you have the ability to be our boss. Otherwise, I would rather spend my time hanging around in the station than being a lackey behind your *ss.”

Wang Lihu was standing with his legs spread apart and spoke gruffly to Xiao Luo in the police substation yard. There was not a shred of respect in his eyes, only resentment. He was a tall and sturdy fellow, six feet tall and weighing more than 200 pounds, and had stubble on his jaw. Standing in the yard, he looked every bit a conceited and arrogant thug in uniform.

Ye Qiu also turned up his nose at Xiao Luo and echoed Wang Lihu’s stand. He spoke with a squeaky voice, “That’s right. People who don’t have a kill or two don’t deserve to be our boss!”

He had a smaller build and a thin, angular face. His oily skin was shiny under the sunshine.

“Wang Lihu, Ye Qiu, this is the appointment made by the station, so don’t you try to pick holes in this on purpose. Bring it to the station chief if you have any disagreement.” Liu Tieguo spoke up for Xiao Luo.

“We’re not like someone who has a deep background. How dare we bring anything up with the station chief.” Ye Qiu squeaked, making insinuations.

“You…”

Liu Tieguo was annoyed. He was genuinely happy for Xiao Luo for his promotion. However, people in the station had been gossiping in recent days about how Xiao Luo only became a permanent officer because of his connection. He could hardly contain his anger for these rumors.

Looking at Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu, Xiao Luo smiled slightly and said, “I can see that you two are not convinced.”

Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu exchanged a look and answered in chorus, “Of course we’re not!”
