Chapter Sixty Misunderstanding

  Wei Ping was secretly hiding behind the Jeep, looking through the window at Bao Yulin getting closer and closer, while repeatedly recalling the grappling moves he had learned before. Wei Ping knew very clearly that his grappling skills were not on the same level as Bao Yulin's. If he could catch him off guard, there might still be a chance to hold him back for a while. But if they clashed head-on, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. If the "criminal" became aware of something and ran away, it would be troublesome to catch him later. A person like Bao Yulin, with his agility, would definitely have a serious impact on social stability if released into society.

  Bao Yulin rushed to the Bank of China, at this time, he began to regret, why didn't he think of exchanging money? Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state. Bao Yulin knew that no matter what, his sister must have had some money on her, but now that he was back, he had to take on the role of being the pillar of the family. His sister had sent off their father alone and taken care of their mother, it was time for her to relax a bit.

  Bao Yulin didn't notice, in his opinion, the domestic environment was very safe, this wasn't the Middle East, there's nothing to worry about. He didn't know that Wei Ping was waiting for him just behind a nearby jeep.

  He still had something in his hand, and Wei Ping surprisingly took out the tire iron from the car with ease. He weighed it for a moment, feeling quite handy. He was filled with emotions, being a police officer without even a gun, and what's more laughable was that as a former member of the Guanglan Military Region Reconnaissance Brigade, he had to resort to using a tire iron to ambush a "criminal". If this got out, it would be a loss of face for the brigade. However, no matter what, as long as he could catch the person, the means were secondary. But if he let the "criminal" escape, it would be unforgivable in his police uniform.

  Through the car window, staring at Bao Yulin, calculating the time, Wei Ping suddenly swung a stick and swept it across Bao Yulin's leg. According to his design, first, he would knock Bao Yulin down with one stick, best if he could make him fall flat on his face. Then he would pounce on him, put his hands under Bao Yulin's armpits, and lock them behind his neck. This way, as long as he didn't let go, unless Bao Yulin was several times stronger than him, it would be very difficult to break free. Wei Ping knew that if he could just hold on for a while, even if the police didn't arrive, the crowd on the side of the road would help him subdue Bao Yulin.

  After all, it was a person who had been crawling on the battlefield for several years. Although Bao Yulin wasn't prepared, Wei Ping suddenly swung his crowbar in an instant. Bao Yulin reflexively jumped up fiercely. It was this jump that made Bao Yulin dodge the blow to his calf bone, unfortunately, Wei Ping's crowbar still hit Bao Yulin's heel, causing him to stumble several times and almost fell over.

  Wei Ping was taken aback as Bao Yulin jumped up, his heart racing with surprise at how quickly the man had reacted. Fortunately, this time he hadn't missed, and still managed to kick Bao Yulin's foot. Wei Ping knew his own strength, and that earlier kick would have sent Bao Yulin to the hospital for a plaster cast if it had hit his leg. Even though it only hit his foot, Bao Yulin was unlikely to be able to bear it.

  After all, he was professionally trained, and although it had been a few years since he last used his skills, Wei Ping's speed and reaction were still very quick. Taking advantage of Bao Yulian's momentary distraction, he took a big step forward, sweeping one foot towards Bao Yulian's leg that was stretched out behind him to steady himself, while simultaneously stretching out his hand to push Bao Yulian's upper body. He wanted to knock Bao Yulian to the ground, making it easier for him to take action from behind.

  The 29th Action Bureau of the French Intelligence Agency places great emphasis on single-handed combat training. After all, they are dispatched in small teams to carry out missions, and if individual soldiers are not strong enough, once they enter the battlefield and encounter hand-to-hand combat, everyone will have to divide their attention to take care of each other, which will greatly affect the overall combat effectiveness of the entire team. As a lieutenant officer, special operations instructor and sniper instructor of the 29th Action Bureau of the French Intelligence Agency, Bao Yulin's fighting skills are obviously stronger than those of ordinary soldiers.

  Although he was hit by Wei Ping on the back of his foot, it did not affect Bao Yulin's actions. He wore tactical combat boots, which had steel plates covering the entire sole and the front half of the shoe to prevent ordinary infantry mines. The ankle part was wrapped in thick cowhide to prevent sprains during parachute jumps. Wei Ping's blow did not cause any harm to Bao Yulin, but his usual training had already formed a conditioned reflex. After two stumbles, Bao Yulin did not try to steady himself like an ordinary person, because real combat experience told him that standing still at this time would only make him a living target or an object of attack. If Bao Yulin was just at this level, he wouldn't have survived so many dangerous missions.

  Taking advantage of the forward momentum, with his front leg as the center of gravity, Bao Yulin rolled sideways, and at the same time, the other leg took advantage of the rolling force to make a horizontal sweep. If this leg can sweep the enemy, it's best, even if it can't, he can use the force of this leg to move himself out several positions, while taking the opportunity to turn around and observe the situation.

  Wei Ping was obviously one of the unlucky ones. He thought he had it all figured out, wanting to push Bao Yulin to the ground, but unexpectedly, without him even pushing, Bao Yulin fell down on his own and followed up with a sweeping kick that unfortunately hit Wei Ping's outstretched arm. The massive force combined with the hardness of the combat boots caused Wei Ping's arm to snap cleanly in two. Instantly, the intense pain and force knocked Wei Ping to the ground.

  Bao Yulin sprang to his feet and saw Wei Ping rolling on the ground in agony, clutching his arm. This startled Bao Yulin. After all, Wei Ping was a policeman. Although Bao Yulin didn't know why he had attacked him, injuring a police officer was a big deal in any country.

  "Officer, how are you?" After being abroad for a few years, Bao Yulin was no longer used to addressing people as "comrades". As soon as he saw Wei Ping's appearance, he became somewhat worried. He knew how hard his kick was and estimated that he had probably kicked the policeman's hand off.

  Although it was extremely painful, Wei Ping surprisingly never forgot his duty. Taking advantage of Bao Yulian's examination of his injured hand, he made a throat-locking move and strangled Bao Yulian's neck. He desperately used his shoulder to push against Bao Yulian's body.

  "Don't move! If you make a sudden movement, I'll strangle you to death!" Wei Ping said fiercely.

  Actually, in this situation, Bao Yulin couldn't let Wei Ping choke his neck, but he didn't understand why. To avoid causing more harm to Wei Ping, Bao Yulin thought it was better not to resist.

  "Officer, I don't want to hurt you, but I don't understand why you're attacking me. You know that under those conditions, my defensive actions are subconscious." Despite the discomfort of being choked, Bao Yulin forced out the words.

  "Shut up and save your breath. We'll talk about it at the police station!" Wei Ping didn't dare to relax even a bit. From Bao Yulin's reaction just now, he once again realized that his grappling skills and tactical reactions were not on the same level as Bao Yulin's. He was only able to gain control over him because Bao Yulin had come over to take care of him earlier.

  At this time, some passersby gathered around. China's population base is large. Especially in a small western county town like this, it's rare to see police fighting "criminals" on the street. Now that the situation has stabilized, some bold ones have gathered around to watch the excitement.

  "Who can help me take the handcuffs off my waist and put them on him?" Wei Ping was now weak in both body and mind. One of his arms was broken, and the other arm was still strangling Bao Yulin's neck, so he could only ask passersby for help.

  At this time, someone found a rod as thick as an arm from the side of the street and came over. Without saying a word, he smashed it down on Bao Yulin's head.

  It's not surprising. At that time, people were still very simple-minded, and generally speaking, the police dealt with petty thieves or lawbreakers. For this type of person, the general public's universal attitude was that they should be severely punished, caught once, and made to remember for a lifetime, so that they would never dare to do bad things again. It was often heard that there were cases of thieves being beaten to death. When such incidents occurred, because it was usually a group effort, no one knew who did it, and under normal circumstances, the matter would be dropped.

  As more and more people gathered around, Bao Yulin started to worry. He was very clear about how to deal with thieves in this place, so he was extremely vigilant. When he heard Wei Ping ask passersby for help to put handcuffs on himself, somehow, Bao Yulin felt a little relieved. But as soon as Wei Ping's words fell, Bao Yulin saw someone holding a wooden stick hitting towards him. Such a big stick, if it hits him, it would be terrible, he could only think of ways to protect himself.

  Just as the wooden stick was about to fall, Bao Yulin exerted force with his legs and desperately pulled Wei Ping back a step. After dodging the wooden stick, he supported Wei Ping's arm that was clutching his neck, then suddenly bent his waist and threw Wei Ping off his shoulders. Then he took another step back. After all, there were many people surrounding them, and it was unrealistic to try to rush out. Unless they didn't care about the consequences, but Bao Yulin really didn't dare do that. He had already looked around and seen that if he retreated one more step, he could reach the side of Wei Ping's Jeep, and once they got in the car, they would be much safer. Although ordinary people dared to beat up thieves, they wouldn't dare smash a police car. It was better for them to wait patiently in the car, and when the police arrived, everything would be fine.

  Bao Yulin's action caused a commotion among the onlookers, no one expected that with just one move, he could send the police flying. This also gave Bao Yulin time to grab the door handle of the jeep and jump in. Immediately after, he locked all the doors. It has to be said that it was thanks to Wei Ping, if not for him taking out the tire iron from the car, Bao Yulin would have had nowhere to hide.

  Often, ordinary people in our country are afraid of bad guys because everyone is worried that those people are desperate and will pull out a knife at the slightest disagreement. So even if they encounter bad guys, they don't dare to speak out. But there are exceptions. Just like now, when the masses around us have been mobilized and the bad guys are showing weakness, it's time for ordinary people to take control.

  Bao Yulin had just dodged into the car when the surrounding crowd rushed up, surrounding the Jeep and making it impossible to move. Many people tried to open the doors to pull Bao out, but he had locked them all. Some people discussed whether they should smash the tempered glass windows, while Wei Ping was frantically shouting on the side.

  "Everyone, don't smash the car, I've already informed the criminal police team, they'll be here soon. Everyone, help out and surround the car. Just don't let him get away!"

  A group of people responded in unison: "Don't worry, this kid won't get away. We'll keep an eye on him for you!"

  Bao Yufeng was in the ward listening to Liu Feng's commissioner's chatter when she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. She hurried to the window and looked down, seeing many people surrounding a police car with sticks and clubs in their hands. Her years of experience living in a small town told her that this must be the police catching a thief.

  "What's wrong?" Mom asked from her bed.

  "It seems like the police are catching a thief. Everyone is gathering to watch." Baoyu Feng replied casually, she was more concerned about her mother's leg now.

  "These bad things, should be caught!" The old lady said on the bed with hatred, then she asked Bao Yufeng: "Yufeng. Go and see what's going on with your brother, why he went out for so long without coming back?"

  "Okay." Bao Yufeng responded with a single word. At this time, she saw two police cars coming over again, and the crowd on the street blocked the road. The police car sounded its siren, which was rarely seen in a small county town. So she didn't move: "It seems like something has happened? Several police cars have come."

  Liu Feng naturally knew what was going on. These police must have come for Bao Yulin. However, he didn't say anything, and after a while, the police would definitely come up to check Bao Yulin's personal belongings. By then, everything would be clear.

  "Comrade Bao Yufeng, why don't we discuss it and decide how much compensation we should give to your family?"

  After hearing this, Bao Yufeng turned around and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, my brother is back, he has the final say in this house. If he says we don't want a single penny, then we won't take a single penny. To be honest, I think my brother won't ask for your money anyway. We have money! What we want is an explanation, you can't hurt my mother and then bring police to show off, that's not how life works. We're not afraid of this. No matter where it goes, reason must be spoken, isn't that right?

  Liu Feng and Wang Hong have learned their lesson from Bao Yufeng's sharp tongue, which is simply merciless. They don't know that this is all due to the environment forcing her to be this way. Bao Yufeng is a young woman in her 20s who has lost her father, with a brother who has become a traitor hated by everyone, and a mother bedridden with illness. If she weren't tough, who knows how she would have been bullied? Later, when she started working as a service staff at the reception office, she encountered all sorts of people and gradually honed her sharp tongue.

  "Of course, we have to be reasonable wherever we go. Comrade Bao Yufeng, look, today we came to apologize and make amends with you and the elderly, as for the traffic police department, they naturally have their own way of doing things, which we can't interfere with, but one thing is certain, our intention is absolutely sincere." Liu Feng didn't know how many times he had said this, he was puzzled why Bao Yufeng could always come up with new words, while as a deputy director, his own words seemed to be limited.

  It's not surprising that Liu Feng is a bit afraid and doesn't dare to speak out. Because as long as there is a slight loophole, Bao Yufeng can grasp it tightly, and with just a few words, Liu Feng will be exhausted from responding. Do you think he still dares to speak recklessly?

  Bao Yufeng wanted to say something when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Wei Ping actually brought in several criminal police officers.

  "It was this bag that the little guy brought with him as his only luggage." Wei Ping surprisingly pointed at the tactical backpack that Bao Yulin had abandoned on the hospital bed and said.

  Everyone in the room was stunned, except for Liu Feng. They all looked at each other, unsure of what was happening.

  "Is this package yours, brother?" a detective asked Bao Yufeng. He also dared not look at the old man on the hospital bed with a desperate expression. "It's my brother's." Bao Yufeng was stunned. She didn't understand how her brother had just come back and gotten involved with the police.

  "Sorry, we need to temporarily hold onto this bag. We'll talk about it later after your brother's situation is cleared up." The detective said as he reached for Bao Yulin's tactical backpack.

  Bao Yufeng rushed up: "What right do you have to take my brother's bag? What did he do?" At this time, Bao Yufeng was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, pressing herself onto the tactical backpack on Bao Yulin's back.

  "What are you doing in the desert? I'm telling you, if you don't let go, I'll take you back with me too!" The detective was a bit helpless, after all, Bao Yufeng was a female comrade, and it wasn't easy to use force.

  "No, unless you tell me what my brother has done wrong and why you want to arrest him? Otherwise, I won't give you his bag!" Bao Yu Feng said firmly. She couldn't understand it. Her brother had just come back, how could there be any problem? She believed her brother was not a dishonest person.

  "Your brother is suspected of fraud and also assaulted our police comrade. We received a report and need to take him away for investigation. This bag of his may be evidence of his crime. So we must take it away." The detective thought that if he explained things clearly, if Bao Yu Feng still refused to put down the bag, they could use force to apprehend him.

  "What?" Bao Yufeng's body suddenly went limp. As usual, ordinary people thought that the police would not arrest anyone without any evidence. Since others had already spoken so clearly now, Bao Yufeng didn't know what to do either.

  Detective Song easily pulled out Bao Yulian's tactical backpack from under Bao Yu Feng's body, and just as he was about to take it away, the old man who had been lying in bed without speaking finally spoke up.

  "Officer, if my son has committed a crime, then take the things away. But he just returned from France and came straight to the hospital without even going home, how could he have time to commit fraud? Besides, we don't know what's in this bag of his, what if you take it away and something gets lost? You should at least leave a receipt." The old man was tearful but spoke very clearly.

  "Right! You can't just take my brother's things away like that. You have to give us a receipt!" Bao Yufeng suddenly reacted, what if they made a mistake again and took her brother's things away. What would happen then if the things got lost?

  "Don't you believe us, police?" The detective was getting impatient. They didn't often encounter such a situation. But from the old man's words, it wasn't hard to discern that this Bao Yulin was indeed a swindler. He even dragged France into it.

  "No way! You must count everything on the ground one by one, in case something is missing later, we will have somewhere to look for it!" Bao Yufeng grabbed Bao Yulin's tactical backpack and said firmly.

  Two detectives looked at each other and could only give up. After all, checking the seized items was one of the procedures, but they had never taken it seriously before.

  "Alright, let's settle this in person then." He said with a tone of great impatience.

  Open the tactical backpack, and first appearing in front of everyone is a French military cap. The high hat top makes the detectives want to laugh, but at this time, no one realizes what it is. But further down, when taking out that set of French military uniforms, without looking at the medals on the uniform, everyone knows that this is a military uniform, although no one recognizes which country's military uniform it is, but this does not exclude everyone's recognition of the uniform. At this point, people in the house are a bit worried.

  Having come this far, of course, we must continue to sort out.

  Two detectives gritted their teeth and continued to search, this time pulling out a traveler's check. The French words on it were unfamiliar to everyone, so they all ignored it. However, the next item sparked their interest. It was an extremely beautiful Arabian dagger, inlaid with precious stones.

  "The record shows a single knife was seized." The detectives had identified the knife.

  After the police from the criminal police team surrounded the jeep, Bao Yulian opened the door with a sense of relief. Several policemen rushed up and grabbed Bao Yulian's arm, directly handcuffing him.

  Bao Yulin did not struggle. He knew that even if he were at a higher level, it would be impossible for him to confront several police colleagues with real guns and live ammunition.

  "I don't understand why you're arresting me, I'm an active French military officer, and I hope you consider the consequences." As he said this, Bao Yulin was very calm, he didn't know what misunderstanding there was here, but it was certain that resisting would only bring trouble to himself.

  "Shut up, save it for when you're back in our team." The police officers from the criminal investigation unit thought what Bao Yulin said was a joke and no one took it seriously. What's even more ridiculous is that they had all seen this before - scammers are the best at spinning tales.

  After the police took away Bao Yu-lin's tactical backpack, Liu Feng and Wang Hong also left, in this situation, nothing can be discussed.

  "Yu Feng, you said your brother would be a bad person?" The old man's face was stern, looking at the things in the bag, she believed her son did not lie, she trusted her son.

  "Mom, don't worry, my brother won't cheat us. I'll go call the French embassy right now, they'll take care of it." Bao Yufeng was determined to go, she couldn't let her brother suffer anymore.

  "Alright. Hurry up, don't let those police bully your brother, I heard the police station is quite ruthless?" Mom was heartbroken for her son, having not seen him for years, and now he's been taken away by the police as soon as they met again, the old lady really can't bear it."

  Bao Yuchen had been transferred to the Pan Shi County Criminal Police Team for some time. It wasn't because he was capable or had any level of expertise in solving cases. The key was that Bao Guoqiang had been transferred to the county party committee's organization department as its head. After all, it was a position in charge of personnel, so he took care of his own son. He did have some ability to get him transferred to the county criminal police team. Unfortunately, Bao Yuchen was just a useless person who couldn't be helped up. At the criminal police team, he didn't do much real work, and when he went out to handle cases, he messed up the scene, without even having any basic detective knowledge. Later, the team saw that this wasn't working, so they arranged for him to do internal work, managing evidence and whatnot. Anyway, it was just like raising an extra person, no big deal.

  "Bao Yuzhen. Here are some physical evidence, please sign for them." The detective in charge of collecting evidence handed Bao Yulin's tactical backpack to Bao Yuzhen and handed over the list.

  Bao Yuzhen lazily took over the list, signed a word with his hand, and pushed the list back: "Here."

  "You don't want to check again? There are quite a few good things in here." The detective joked, casually putting the list into his pocket.

  "What's there to see? Stuck in this house all day, every day. What's so great about that?" Bao Yuchen curled his lip in disdain. He always thought that being assigned to the criminal police team for internal work was a waste of his talents. If he were allowed to go out on external missions, who knows when he might crack a big case.

  "Hey. This time we caught someone named Bao Yulin, whose name sounds similar to yours, do you know him?" A detective asked as he was leaving.

  "You just know him!" Bao Yuchen said, but the name was etched in his mind. At first, he thought Bao Yulin had a problem and ran back to Xiangshui Village to spread rumors, resulting in the death of Bao Guohua. Later, after the truth came out, everyone in Xiangshui Village spat at him whenever they saw him, so he never dared to return again. Now hearing this name, his conditioned reflex was to say that he didn't know him.

  As soon as he heard it was Bao Yulin's thing, Bao Yuchen became interested. After bringing the thing into the evidence room, he hastily opened it. After a stir, he felt that Bao Yulin was not simple now, and might have really made a fortune outside.

  Just as Bao Yuzhen was packing things back into his tactical backpack, an Arab dagger inlaid with gems caught his eye. Bao Yuzhen clearly remembered that the list brought by the two detectives had written on it a controlled knife. This was also a professional habit, and police officers were particularly attentive to these contraband goods.

  This is a very beautiful Arabian dagger, and without mentioning the golden hilt and scabbard, the gems inlaid on the entire knife can tell people that this is an exceptionally precious work of art. People from the West have a higher sensitivity to gems than those from other regions. Bao Yuchen could see at a glance that this Arabian dagger was worth a lot, but he didn't understand how it ended up in Bao Yulin's hands?

  How great it would be if this dagger were mine! Bao Yuchen thought to himself. He remembered that the receipt was signed for a controlled knife, so Bao Yuchen left his office and pulled out an Ingersoll pocket knife from his drawer. This was also evidence handed over by the criminal police, the guy was shot on the spot, and Bao Yuchen had been using this small knife to peel fruit ever since.

  When Bao Yuzhen came out of the evidence room again, there was an additional Engrish small knife in Bao Yulin's tactical backpack, and the Arabian short knife given by the Arab elder was missing.

  When Bao Yufeng called the French embassy, she didn't know what to say either. Due to confidentiality, Bao Yulin did not elaborate on his own situation. For such a call, the embassy generally would not respond, who has heard that even their family members do not know what they are doing.

  "Please tell the ambassador that my brother is a lieutenant in the French army and has also been awarded the Knight's Cross." Bai Yulin listened to the embassy staff's tone, seemingly unmoved, answering with a warm smile. She couldn't help but feel anxious. She remembered her brother saying that this Knight's Cross was a great honor even in France, so she brought it up.

  "Excuse me, madam, could you please elaborate? Are you saying that your brother has received the French Knight Medal?" The staff at the French Embassy also tensed up. If a recipient of the Knight Medal were to cause trouble, they would be in big trouble.

  "Yes, my brother is Bao Yulin. He said he was awarded a knighthood." Bao Yufeng said. "Ma'am, please don't leave. I'll report this to our ambassador right away." The staff member was cautious and had to verify before reporting to the ambassador.

  After about 20 minutes, the staff member on the phone assured Bao Yufeng that the French Embassy would do its best to get the Chinese police to release Captain Bao Yulin as soon as possible. They asked Bao Yufeng not to worry, estimating that this was probably a misunderstanding, otherwise no one would have taken action against a French army captain for no reason, especially since he was also a recipient of the French Knight's Order.

  The criminal police team was also in a headache. If it were an English document, it wouldn't be difficult for people to handle, but Bao Yulin's documents were all in French, and in this small county town, nobody knew who could understand French.

  At this time, everyone realized that they might have caught the wrong person, but since they had already apprehended someone, a conclusion was necessary. The county bureau's leaders were also aware of the situation and could only continue with it at this point. At this time, all of Bao Yulin's documents were faxed to the municipal bureau, which required technical support from them.

  I would also like to ask everyone to vote for me with the monthly tickets in your hands, I am deeply grateful. As the saying goes, "the road winds and turns, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright", don't think that I am a traitor.
