Officer Ma wanted to hit Zeng Lao Liu for being rude to Ma HuiYu, but in the end, due to his status as a police officer, he still held it in.
“Who the hell are you?” Zeng Lao Da had already drank a lot of alcohol, so he went into a fighting stance when he saw Officer Ma walk over in a bad mood.
“I’m a police officer.” Officer Ma flashed his badge and Zeng Lao Da wilted back. The civil police officer that was standing silently also walked next to Officer Ma.
“Officer Ma is the captain of the second division of the criminal police. I am the civil police officer, Xiao Zhang. We are in charge of mediating this incident of stopping the car to save the dogs, I hope you can support us.”
“You guys are really late, I can’t believe you only just got here.” The rich woman complained.
“Criminal police captain?” Zeng Lao Liu frowned, “Doesn’t the civil police usually take care of these cases?”
“Your chief is so meddlesome.” Ma HuiYu suddenly said.
Officer Ma awkwardly put away his badge, “The chief doesn’t want you to make the situation worse. It’s best if the media doesn’t get involved.”
“That doesn’t mean you need to come.” Ma HuiYu didn’t look at Officer Ma, but she was clearly speaking to him.
“Hui Hui, you…”
“Hui Hui isn’t a name for you to say.” Ma HuiYu glared, “Only my parents call me that. Xiao Ma, leave, it has nothing to do with you.”
At this point, Zeng Lao Liu was fed up: “Huh, you two know each other? So the police are going to side with these dog lovers? I’m protesting against this and I’m going to report you!”
I don’t really think the impartial Officer Ma would be biased because Ma HuiYu is his relative, but I’m now more curious about the relationship between Officer Ma and Ma HuiYu. Since Officer Ma said Ma HuiYu wasn’t his younger sister, and Ma HuiYu called Officer Ma “Xiao Ma”, then is Ma HuiYu his older sister?
It doesn’t look like the case based on there ages. Officer Ma should be over 30, even if he looks a bit older due to stress, there’s no way he’s younger than Ma HuiYu! If Ma HuiYu isn’t his younger or older sister, then how are they related?
“Ah, so you’re Xiao Ma!” The rich woman realized and she became more amicable, “I heard Hui Hui is your * mom…”
Note: The * isn’t to censor out an obscene word, but to show a tire had exploded in the parking lot and we couldn’t hear some words clearly, so to everyone else, it sounded like she said Ma HuiYu was Officer Ma’s mom.
We were all shocked! Officer Ma was at least 30 years old, but how could Ma HuiYu be his mom when she’s only 26 years? Did she lie about her age?
“Aunt, stop messing around.” Officer Ma suddenly changed the way he addressed Ma HuiYu.
Oh, so she’s his aunt, not his mom! In China, it’s not that uncommon for someone younger to have more seniority than someone older.
No wonder Officer Ma wasn’t acting normally today because she was his senior. She was clearly younger than him, but she was his aunt. As her nephew, he had to take care of his aunt’s mess, but he couldn’t really reprimand her like he would with his colleagues or juniors. I think the chief really made it hard for him when they sent Officer Ma over here.
“This is business, I’m not messing around.” Ma HuiYu said.
“How are you not messing around.” Officer Ma frowned, “You’re not at school studying for your PhD, but running around on the to save dogs… Will saving dogs give you extra credits? Will saving dogs help you find a job in the future?”
“Saving animals is my life’s work.” Ma HuiYu had a determined look, “I’m not doing it for personal benefits. The era of human beings slaughtering animals for personal pleasure should have ended long ago.”
“Hey, hey, so the great captain is your nephew.” Zeng Lao Liu teased Ma HuiYu, “He’s not going to favor you and let you rob my goods without paying for them, right?”
“It’s well-known that Officer Ma is impartial and does not show favoritism.” The civil police officer pointed to a miniature camera on the side of his police cap as he spoke, “This is police forensic equipment, and has now begun to film. The law enforcement process will remain as evidence, so it is impossible to be biased and have unfair treatment.”
Since gramps Ren was on friendly terms with the chief, I also heard him say they recently spent ¥220,000 to equip their officers with portable devices to record evidence. So I knew the box hanging on Officer Xiao Zhang’s waist was a set with the camera that could store 80GB, which was 40hrs of continuous video.
“I bet they can also use it to watch movies.” Gramps Ren once commented, “So that way they won’t get bored when there’s nothing else to do while they are on duty…”
While it’s true it can play media, I don’t think many officers will use it to watch movies while they are on duty. If they get caught by their bosses or reporters, they will lose their jobs.
After Zeng Lao Liu heard there would be video evidence and see that Officer Ma wasn’t really on good terms with Ma HuiYu, he no longer dwelled on the fact that they were relatives.
“Anyway, I won’t sell the truckload of dogs even for ¥50,000.” Zeng Lao Liu said coldly.
“I never agreed to give you ¥50,000.” Ma HuiYu said angrily, “I only agreed to give you ¥40,000.”
“It’s true Ma-jie only agreed to give you ¥40,000.” Shu Sha testified, then she suddenly looked at Officer Ma who was standing beside the table. She probably thought it was inappropriate for her to follow the other volunteers and also call Ma HuiYu as “Sister Ma”.
Shu Sha has met Officer Ma before. Officer Ma came to 28 Middle before and got into a struggle with me and caused my bag of condoms to rain over Gong CaiCai. He was the reason why I had to tell Shu Sha that my family runs an adults good store.
Since Ma HuiYu was Officer Ma’s aunt, then if Shu Sha refers to Ma HuiYu as sister, then that means Shu Sha would also become Officer Ma’s senior! It would be uncomfortable to suddenly call her Auntie Ma, so she was slightly vexed.
There’s no need to be vexed! Class leader, you did a great job! We’re classmates, so if you refer to Ma HuiYu as sister, then that means I would also be Officer Ma’s senior. Ahahahahaha. Officer Ma always loves to wrongly accuse me, but now he has to call me uncle! Come here nephew, if you’re a good boy, maybe your Uncle Ye will give you an allowance!
Officer Ma heard Shu Sha, then looked at her and instantly realized she looked familiar. He then looked at me and his expression changed slightly. He probably remembered Shu Sha was our class leader and realized we didn’t meet here by chance.
But in the end, the spokesperson for the volunteers was still his aunt, so Officer Ma didn’t pay me much attention and continued to say to Ma HuiYu:
“Just give them ¥50,000 so we can finish earlier, it’s not like you’re paying for it. Isn’t Niu Zong very rich and doesn’t he won several mansions? Tell him to pay up so I can go back and rest… I’ve already stayed up for two consecutive nights, I can’t hold on anymore…”
“Who made you the boss? It’s not like you have anything to do with the volunteers, so what gives you the right to spend Niu Zong’s money.”
Officer Ma snorted: “Since he has so much money he can’t spend, I’ll spend some of it for him. Also, listen closely, I bet Niu Zong doesn’t have any good intentions for you or why would he always spend money to support you?”
“Niu Zong isn’t supporting me, but the animal protection group. Also, call me aunt.”
Officer Ma sighed, “Aunt, it’s obvious Niu Zong is trying to flirt with you, so why are you trying to save his money? Why not just just give the dog dealers ¥100,000 and see if Niu Zong is willing to pay it, it would also act as a test…”
The Zeng brother’s eyes turned into dollar signs when they heard they can make ¥100,000. Zeng La Da put down the bottle of alcohol and said: “It’s a deal.”
Zeng Lao Liu also said: “We’ll give you the dogs once we get the money.”
“Who agreed to give you ¥100,000?” Ma HuiYu said angrily, “Go ask for it from whoever agreed to give that to you.”
Ma HuiYu glared at Officer Ma, then said: “As a nephew, it’s none of your business if someone’s trying to flirt with your aunt.”
Since they were both animal protectionists, it wouldn’t be strange for the two of them to end up together. I think it’s kind of nosy for Officer Ma to get involved into his aunt’s personal life.
The class leader was worried about my illness when she noticed I had been standing for a while.
“Ye Lin, come over here, sit next to Xu-jie. We might still have to talk for a while before we reach a conclusion.”
Xu-jie was the rich woman whose seat was closest to the aisle. Based on her age, the class leader should call her auntie, but she insisted that the other volunteers call her Xu-jie to make her look younger.
The rich woman thought I looked like a criminal and had already been clutching her purse. She was extremely shocked when she heard Shu Sha call out to me.
