Chapter 17: Throwing a tantrum and being difficult

'Okay, I understand. We'll leave right away, and we can promise that we won't harass you or your child again.'

Zhou Ming said helplessly, and told Chen Shuyu and the others to start packing up. But at this point, the women still wouldn't let go. They pointed their fingers at Zhou Ming and said, 'You little brat, you still want to run? You want to run after harming my child? I'm telling you, it's not that simple. I've already called the police, and this matter must be clarified when the police arrive!'

Another older sister chimed in, 'That's right. If you run away, the police will question us for reporting a false alarm, won't they? You have to stay here. We don't want to waste time with those police!'

As they spoke, the older sisters closed in, reaching out to grab Zhou Ming and the others.

Zhou Ming could no longer bear it and yelled, 'Stop it, all of you!'

Zhou Ming's yell was like a mountain chanting and a tsunami, instantly shocking these women. Zhou Ming glared at them angrily and said, 'What are you doing? We are just here to promote our campaign, and we are not bothering you in the slightest. You can choose not to listen if you don't like it.'

'Yes, I did tell your children about the election campaign, but that is everyone's right. Although they are not yet 18, they have the right to know, and you have no right to deprive them of that right!' Zhou Ming said sternly. 'And you say you are going to call the police now, and you want the police to come and explain everything? I would like to ask you, what reason do you have to call the police, and what face do you have to go to the police?'

Zhou Ming concluded, 'Now you're still arguing with us, is this the kind of thing you want to teach your children? And you're saying we're harming your children, I've never met such brazen people!'

Zhou Ming's words were as loud as a clarion, as if each word was meant to pierce the depths of the other person's heart. The woman from Binhai, who had been in the front row, felt her knees weaken and she sat down on the ground.

The others who had come with her came to help her up, but she didn't get up. Instead, she sat there and burst into tears: 'This is not letting people live! This little rascal knows how to bully us women because they are in a crowd. They are also Chinese, and they are college students at Harvard University. I think they are just little hooligans on the street. They openly say that they are running for office here, but secretly they corrupt our children. This is really a great crime!'

As the older woman from Binhai shouted, the others also accused Zhou Ming: 'Yes, what kind of person is this? If you're capable, go deal with the Americans. What kind of man are you, who knows only to lose your temper at women? What kind of college student are you? This is outrageous...'

Ye Ning really couldn't stand listening to what these older women were saying, and stepped forward to refute: 'What are you talking about? Obviously, we are just here to spread the word, but you are indiscriminately scolding us. We are reasoning with you, but you are just throwing a tantrum here. What do you want?'

Ye Ning's words were reasonable and well-founded, but the other party simply would not listen. The older woman from Binhai started crying and screaming again, 'You are educated and cultured people, and you just know how to bully us uneducated old people. Anyway, I just can't argue with you!'

In the face of the situation, both Zhou Ming and his classmates from the finance class felt very frustrated. It was clear that they were in the right, but the other party just kept arguing with them and acting like a spoilt child. They were making it look like they were the ones being bullied. The key was that they couldn't hit her back, and for the sake of their compatriots and the impact of future elections in the Weida community, they couldn't take any action either, which made them even more annoyed.

At this moment, the sound of a police siren suddenly came from afar. Zhou Ming looked up and saw two police cars drive into the community.

'The police are here. Don't worry about these little rascals running away. Go find the police quickly, so they don't get the upper hand!'

Before the police cars even entered, the older woman sitting on the ground, Binhai, hurriedly said to the people around her, as if she was afraid of taking a big loss if she was slow, while the woman immediately walked over to the police. The others stopped Zhou Ming and the others, and this series of tactics was comparable to that of an outstanding military strategist.

'Teacher, what should we do? The police are here, so you should go first, we'll stay here,' Ye Ning said to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'They are here just for me, how can I go?'

Huang Yi immediately stood up and said, 'Teacher, you can't say that. If they are targeting them, they must be targeting me. After all, I am running for election. You and the other students should go first.'

'But I told you to do that for my election!' Zhou Ming said. Seeing that Huang Yi and Ye Ning were about to say something else, he immediately said, 'Okay, you don't have to say anything. Don't forget that I still have a lawyer. I have already been to the FBI twice. Now it's just the police, they can't do anything to me.'

While Zhou Ming was talking, Binhai's sister, who was sitting on the floor, was not idle. She said to Zhou Ming, 'You little rascals, don't even think about running away. I'm telling you, none of you are going to get away today!'

Hearing this, Zhou Ming looked down at her with disdain and sneered, 'Trying to run? You're thinking too much. Don't think that I'm just like you, barking like a dog. I'm standing here today to see what else you've got, and how low you can stoop in front of me!'

With Zhou Ming's words, all the students in the finance class stood behind him of their own accord, showing by their actions that they would be the strongest backing for their teacher!

Sister Binhai was shocked by this momentum and subconsciously retreated a little, but then she reacted. But before she could say anything, her friend brought the police over.

'Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? Why are there so many people here and are you all unarmed?'

Two black police officers came over, his hand nervously resting on the gun at his waist, followed by two white police officers. They were just hiding behind the police car, looking very vigilantly at this side, obviously seeing that there were a lot of people here and fearing that there would be violence. This was the alertness of American police officers, even though they were now in Brighton, which had the highest level of education and was not a place where gangs ran rampant.

Hearing the police officer's questioning, the older woman from the coast had no time to argue with Zhou Ming and immediately turned to the black police officer and said, 'Officer, it's really good that you're here. These are the people. They were defrauding people here, luring my children under the age of 18 to run for office, and then when I found out, they bullied me. Look, they even pushed me to the ground!'

Her words made all the classmates in the finance class furious: What a shameless liar! It was obvious that she was the one causing trouble here, but instead of admitting that she had bullied her, she accused her of bullying her and made up some nonsense about fraud? There was no basis for this at all, and she just made it up as she went along! And she was a fellow Chinese, so why was she so cruel to her compatriots? What did she mean?

But before the classmates in the finance class could say anything, the black police officer drew his gun and pointed it at the older woman, barking orders at her: 'Don't move! Raise your hands and speak slowly!'

The woman immediately subconsciously raised her hands and said to the black policeman, trembling with fear, 'Officer, don't shoot, I'm a good person, I'm the one who called the police, they're the bad guys, go arrest them, put them all in jail!'

While she was talking, she pointed hard at Zhou Ming, trying to get the police to come over and arrest Zhou Ming and the others. However, the black policeman said impatiently, 'I need to make sure you're safe first, don't shout here, otherwise I'll deal with you first!'

In front of the black policeman's black gun, the older woman could only nod fearfully. Then the black policeman searched her body to make sure she was not dangerous before coming over to Zhou Ming. He looked at Zhou Ming up and down, and at this time, the older woman whispered, 'Officer, quickly arrest him and go, he is very dangerous, look, he is still bringing so many people behind him...'

Her words came to an abrupt end here, because the black policeman and Zhou Ming both glared at her, and she was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth.

'May I ask what you are doing here?' the black policeman asked.

'Nothing much, just that my friend is running for parliament, and my friends and I are here to help him drum up support,' Zhou Ming replied, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

The black policeman frowned, as if he was not used to Zhou Ming's defiant attitude. He then said, 'However, someone has reported that you are engaging in fraud and other illegal activities here. I need to take you in for investigation. I hope you can cooperate...'

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Zhou Ming immediately denied, 'I'm sorry, that's not possible, because we haven't committed any illegal acts.'

'I'm sorry, sir, but you don't get to decide whether something is illegal or not,' the black policeman said.

'I'm also sorry, but you don't get to decide whether something is illegal or not either, unless you're a judge,' Zhou Ming said in return.

'Do you know what you're saying? You yellow-skinned bastard, you're defying the law!'

The black policeman said angrily. To him, Chinese people should behave like the previous lady from Binhai and be obedient, so how dare they argue with him? So he immediately drew his gun.

It was just that in the end, his gun didn't land on Zhou Ming's head either, and ** reached out his hand first and grabbed the black policeman's gun.

'You yellow-skinned bastards, I really should shoot you!'

the black policeman angrily said. He was the first to anxiously try to draw back his gun, but he found that **'s hand was like being held in a vice, and with his strength he could not move it at all. Only then did he really panic, and he then shouted at **, 'What are you doing? Do you want to assault a police officer? Damn yellow-skinned bastards, don't tell me this is the first time you've come to the United States, assaulting a police officer here is a very serious crime!'

Zhou Ming waved his hand at **, and ** let go. The black police officer fell to the ground without warning. Zhou Ming walked up to him and said, 'Officer, I'm very sorry. What I want to say to you is that we did not assault the police or commit any crime. Everything we did was legal.'

'Then what's your explanation for what just happened?' the black police officer asked, his voice trembling a little. The black policeman's voice was due to the fact that he was really scared, because in the blink of an eye, he really felt a breath of death from **'s body.

This explanation is very fantastic, but it is indeed the case. The black policeman's feeling was actually the murderous aura exuded by **. As a soldier king, **'s murderous aura goes without saying, but he is usually introverted. It's just that after what just happened today, ** can still tolerate his fellow Chinese or lesbians, but now a black policeman, ** doesn't mind taking his life.

'It was just an accident,' Zhou Ming said dismissively. "We really haven't broken any laws. If the officer has any further questions, I can call my lawyer. I'm Zhou Ming, the chairman of Wharton Insurance.'

After hearing Zhou Ming's self-introduction, the black police officer was first taken aback, but then he remembered something and asked back, "Hey! This gentleman said his name is Zhou Ming, from Wharton Insurance. Is that him?'

Someone there immediately replied, "So it's him, let him go!"
