Chapter 557 Stephen's Nightmare!

But when he saw that there seemed to be no intersection of those people who just walked separately, and suddenly there was a crowd rushing in his direction, Stephen was panicked.

That's it. Are there any local people who want to riot?

Stephen thought wildly, and his companions around him also looked at each other inexplicably, and he was at a loss about the amazing scene in front of him.

The tide of people came to the owner of the watermelon stall and asked about the situation with concern.

When they learned that these foreigners didn't pay for watermelon, they even beat people. Suddenly, everyone was excited and surrounded Stephen and others in the middle to ask for an explanation.

Looking at the angry faces in front of him, Stephen panicked. Naturally, he didn't expect such a small thing to turn down so quickly and inexplicably surrounded by the local indigenous people here.

Stephen, who has never experienced such a touching scene, shivered and had no idea.

"Make way! All get out of the way! The police are coming!" A loud voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd, and the still angry crowd quickly made way. Two uniformed policemen squeezed into the crowd and began to understand the situation.

"Sirs, this is a public place. In order not to affect the traffic order here, let's go to the police station to resolve the dispute first?" After simply listening to the watermelon stall owner's narration, a policeman saluted politely and said to Stephen in some unfamiliar English.

Seeing a smiling face, Stephen, who had just been frightened and afraid of being torn apart by the angry indigenous people, immediately calmed down.

"Oh, are you the policeman here? That's good. We are besieged and intimidated by the locals here for no reason. As soldiers of the British Empire, I want to express our strong dissatisfaction to you!" Thinking of Stephen, who has always been ostentatious in Singapore, thinking of the embarrassment that had just been frightened, it was a burst of shame and anger. In his opinion, since this place is a colony of the British Empire, the local policeman is certainly on their side.

Du Ziteng, who had just heard the story of the watermelon stall boss, suddenly burst into an unknown fire in his heart. As the director said, these damn ghosts are really arrogant everywhere and don't treat us Chinese as adults!

This is obviously arrested. It's okay if these damn guys don't admit it. How dare they knock down the rake! That's not true!

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, now the parties involved have reported the case to us. Please cooperate with our work!" Du Ziteng patiently explained to several foreigners who seemed to be domineering.

It's hard to describe the surprise in Stephen's heart. He never dreamed that he had reported his identity. Can't the fool opposite understand? Are you the soldiers of the British Empire the people they can deal with by the local police?

They looked at each other silently with several companions around him, and Stephen and others laughed together. They seemed to be very funny about what they had just heard.

"Sir, I would like to remind you again that because you are involved in a public security dispute, please follow us to the police station to be dealt with!" Du Ziteng held back his anger and continued with his demeanor.

Stephen stopped laughing, looked up and down at Du Ziteng, and glanced at the crowd around him. At this time, he was drunk and returned to his usual look.

He is thinking that it seems that the folk customs here are very tough, and they should be more powerful to deal with such people, otherwise they really don't know that the glory of our British Empire is sacred and inviolable!

Stephen punched Du Ziteng in the face without warning. Du Ziteng, who was unprepared, was attacked by him and staggered on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

Such an unexpected thing naturally angered the crowd around them. They roared and punched and kicked around Stephen and others, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

Du Ziteng and his colleagues were so anxious that they couldn't kill a few ghosts like this, otherwise it was reasonable and unclear.

"Papa" was accompanied by a few gunshots. After a few screams, the chaotic scene calmed down in an instant, and everyone looked at the compatriots who fell in the pool of blood in disbelief. Everyone looked in one direction angrily, and Stephen was half lying on the ground with a pistol in his hand.

"Don't blame me... I... I'm... self-defense!" Stephen's brain was so confused that he never dreamed that today was just a simple outing. How could such an unbearable nightmare happen?

"Keep quiet, everyone! Let's save people first!" Du Ziteng knew that the situation was serious. In order to prevent the angry crowd from being hurt again by foreigners with weapons, he shouted loudly.

Only then did a dead crowd realize it. Although they were reluctant, they looked at their compatriots who fell into a pool of blood. They didn't pay attention to Stephen and began to actively rescue them.

Kuching's joint defense system is really good. As soon as the gunshots are sounded, uniformed policemen have been appearing at the scene of the incident. In less than five minutes, Stephen and his companions, who were still in a shooting position, were surrounded by more than 50 policemen with guns in both hands.

Stephen and the others, who were stunned, could not encounter such a strong and quick reaction. In the face of this powerful force, Stephen finally understood that he had hit a hard wall.

He obediently obeyed the other side's policeman's order and threw the gun to the ground, thinking puzzledly, was this Kuching no longer under the glorious light of the British Empire?

**

Chen Jiaju knew that something was wrong when he heard the gunshot. He ordered the guard to drive his sister's flower back to the old house. He strode in the direction of the Public Security Bureau.

Seeing the crowd gathering from afar, Chen Jiaju understood that if there was really a vicious accident in speculation at this time, he really couldn't go there at this time. God knew that the excited people would force him to do something.

Chen Jiaju frowned. At this time, if this kind of conflict with the British occurs, it must not be rashly engaged!

The British warship came to Kuching for supplies this time, which is actually a helpless move of Chen Jiaju. Over the years, he has been working well with those British high-level officials in Singapore, which has been an important part of Chen Jiaju's daily work.

No matter how good the development momentum of Kuching is now, a problem that cannot be ignored is that the whole of North Borneo, including this Kuching, is under the colonial rule of the British.

Of course, the well-known British North Borneo Company is the unit that nominally manages North Borneo, but in fact, even the British North Borneo Company also wants to have a good relationship with these powerful figures in Singapore.
