Chapter 138: Enforcement

  Xiao Yu looked at the tall man leading and sneered: "The medicine here is 100% genuine, and none of them are expired!"

  "Haha, you say it's fake then it's fake! Who do you think you are? The drug regulatory department? Let me tell you, if I say your medicine is fake then it's fake. If it's not fake, it's still fake. And if I say it's real, then it's also real! Got it?"

  The tall man smiled complacently and poked Xiao Yu's chest with his finger.

  "I don't understand! What's real is real, what's fake is fake. None of the medicine I have is counterfeit!" Xiao Ye said with a shake of his head.

  "Hmph, what a fool!" The bald-headed man said with a cold snort after hearing Xiao Yu's words, looking at him sideways.

  Xiao Yu's eyes were cold as he stared at the bald-headed man, and his eyes unconsciously carried a hint of murderous intent. The bald-headed man didn't know why, but when he saw Xiao Yu looking at him like that, he didn't dare to meet his gaze, his eyes dodging back and forth, and his heart felt a chill.

  "Because the medicine here is counterfeit, expired and moldy! The fire protection facilities are unqualified. Now, on behalf of the joint law enforcement team, I decide to impose the following penalties on you: First, due to unqualified fire protection, a fine of 5,000 yuan and a deadline for rectification; Second, because the clinic you operate uses counterfeit or expired moldy medicine, a fine of 15,000 yuan, totaling 20,000 yuan!"

  The tall man solemnly announced the penalty for Xiao Yu, and after a moment, he smiled and continued to say to Xiao Yu: "I think you're also an honest person, you must have been deceived by the drug dealer. So, I'll give you two options: first, you pay a fine of 20,000 yuan, not one cent less; second, you don't pay the fine, and I'll take charge and give you a 50% discount, only collecting 10,000 yuan from you. What do you say?"

  "Heh heh, what if I don't choose either of the two paths?" Xiao Yu said with a light smile.

  He figured it out, this joint inspection team was just a group of thugs who were collecting protection fees in disguise.

  "Haha... This is easy to say, we'll take the medicine back and have it appraised by the appraisal department. Once the appraisal is done, we'll send it back to you. You can't open for business until the appraisal is complete!"

  The tall man burst out laughing wildly, and his face changed color instantly, just like a Sichuan opera actor changing masks, and suddenly turned cold.

  "Little brother, come here for a moment!" At this time, a man who had been silent all along and was wearing a tax uniform gently pulled Xiao Yu once and pulled him to the side.

  "Little brother, they are officials, you are a civilian. Since ancient times, civilians do not fight with officials. Moreover, if we really take your medicinal materials back for appraisal, it will not be possible to complete the appraisal within two or three months. Hehe, after two or three months, even if your medicine is genuine and new, it will become expired and moldy. Why don't you spend some money to buy peace? I'll help you talk to them. As long as 8,000 yuan, I'll make sure that in the future, even if you sell fake medicine, they won't come looking for you! What do you think?"

  The man wearing a tax uniform and the harmonious color faced Xiao Yu and said. This was actually what they had planned, one sang white face intimidation, and the other sang red face advice, this trick was tried many times without fail, and most businessmen would spend money to buy peace of mind.

  "Heh heh, what if I say no?" Xiao Ye looked at their tricks with a clear and cold smile.

  The man wearing the tax uniform, who had a pleasant face, suddenly turned cold. He didn't expect Xiao Ye to be so stubborn. The man in the tax uniform said with a gloomy face: "Since you don't listen to advice, I have no choice!"

  The man wearing a tax uniform walked towards the tall-headed man and shook his head.

  "Come on, brothers, load all these medicines onto the car!" The tall-headed man instructed the other three, turned around and said to the bald head: "Bald head, give him a receipt, and don't forget to give him a fire safety rectification notice. Let this store be rectified within a time limit, and it's not qualified for rectification. Don't open the door!"

  After instructing the bald-headed man, the tall man led the way to move the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet. Zhang Shaohua knew it was time for him to step forward.

  "Slow down, who allowed you to enforce the law like this?" Zhang Shaohua said as he stood up, looking at the members of the joint law enforcement team with disdain.

  "Hey, brothers, didn't expect to squeeze out a stinky bug from the melon seeds!" The tall man leading the way, who was carrying a medicine chest and about to leave, unexpectedly heard the man sitting on the stool, who had been silent until now, questioning their law enforcement.

  "Haha, what's wrong with us enforcing the law like this? I'm telling you, we're following procedure!" The bald-headed man burst out laughing upon hearing the tall man's words and immediately turned to face Zhang Shaohua.

  "Going by the rules? Ha ha, going by the rules, whether these medicines are genuine or not should be under the jurisdiction of the drug regulatory authority! When will it be the turn of the health bureau and public security, taxation, and industry and commerce to manage?"

  Zhang Shaohua smiled lightly and pointed at their uniforms one by one.

  The tall man's face changed, unexpectedly encountering someone who understood the inside story. However, the tall man did not panic, but instead looked at Zhang Shao Hua and said: "Heh heh, you didn't know that, did you? Since our joint inspection team was established, we have stipulated that if we discover any violations of regulations or laws, we can temporarily seize these things and hand them over to the relevant departments."

  "When did the joint law enforcement team have such a rule? I didn't know about it?" Zhang Shouhua had accompanied his boss to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the Joint Law Enforcement Brigade, and he remembered that the conference read out the powers and responsibilities of the Joint Law Enforcement Brigade, but none of them were stipulated as such.

  Zhang Shaohua had a particularly good memory since he was young. Although he couldn't remember everything, as long as he made an effort to memorize something, he could recall eight or nine out of ten things. When attending this oath-taking ceremony, in order to track the law enforcement situation of this joint law enforcement team, he specially made an effort to memorize their powers and responsibilities. He clearly remembered that there was no such power among them.

  "Haha... you? You think you're something, I'm telling you, what I say goes, whether he's here or not!" The tall, leading man, with a wildly arrogant laugh, shouted at Zhang Shao Hua.

  "Haha... even your great leader Wang Zhengzhi wouldn't dare say that!" Zhang Shaohua's anger turned to laughter as he coldly stared at the bald-headed man, responding to what the tall man had just called him.

  "Humph, you've even brought out our squad leader? I'm not afraid to tell you, it's because our squad leader is here that I dare say this!" The tall man seemed unafraid, shouting at Zhang Shao Hua, his words reeking of alcohol as he charged towards him.

  Zhang Shaohua sniffed at the foul-smelling breath, covered his mouth and took a few steps back, frowning as he looked at the tall man.

  Zhang Shaohua, since becoming the secretary of the municipal party committee, has been accompanied by flattering and fawning wherever he goes. Unexpectedly, he was just ignored by the head of a small law enforcement team.

  "Haha……" Seeing Zhang Shaohua covering his mouth and retreating, the four members of the joint law enforcement team burst out laughing wildly.

  Zhang Shaohua looked at these several drunken men and said: "I'm telling you, even your battalion commander Wang Zhengzhi doesn't dare to speak to me like this!"

  "Does our captain also dare not to speak to you like this?" The tall man leading the way, with a strong smell of wine all over his body, walked around Zhang Shaohua twice and said.

  The tall man seemed to have made up his mind and nodded, saying: "Our captain wouldn't dare speak to you like that!"

  Zhang Shaohua heard the tall man say this, and his gloomy face slightly eased.

  "Because you can't even see our captain, and you don't have the qualifications to let our captain talk to you, so of course he wouldn't dare say that to you, haha..." The tall man paused for a moment before continuing, and then burst out laughing.

  Zhang Shaohua's face, which had just slightly eased up, suddenly turned black and gloomy, as if it was about to drip with water. He calmly looked at the tall man in front of him, but although Zhang Shaohua's face seemed calm, his tightly clenched fists could sense his anger.

  Zhang Shaohua took out his phone and started dialing a string of numbers, but by now he had already forgotten the original purpose of speaking up for Xiao Ye; instead, he was furious with these few bastards who were completely drunk and reeking of alcohol.

  However, a busy tone came from the phone, indicating that the user was not in the service area. Zhang Shouhua knew that this kind of prompt was always set by the mobile phone owner on purpose. One reason is to avoid being disturbed, and the other is to avoid giving leaders a bad impression when they are turned off and can't be reached. Only by setting it like this can one be prepared for both attack and defense.

  Zhang Shaohua slammed down the phone in anger, silently cursing Wang Zhengzhi. Normally, when there was nothing going on, his phone would ring and connect at any time, but now that he needed to find him, he couldn't be reached.

  "Hey, are you still calling to find acquaintances? Let me tell you, normally I'd give face if you want me to, but today no matter who you find, I'm going to sweep away their face!"

  The tall man was not afraid of Zhang Shaohua's phone call and shouted at Zhang Shaohua and Xiao Yu.

  "Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!" Zhang Shaohua furiously hung up the phone, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the tall man in front of him, with flashes of cold light in his eyes. Zhang Shaohua was now furious with several people. Since becoming the secretary of the municipal party committee, when had he ever been treated like this?

  "I don't care who you are! No matter who you are, these things must be moved away! If you want us not to move them, it's 20,000 yuan, not a penny less. Otherwise, even if you're the municipal party secretary, it won't work!"

  The tall man saw him take out his phone and dial, still a bit worried that he might get into trouble, but when the other person's phone didn't connect, he thought to himself, "Is this guy just trying to scare me?"
