Chapter 20: Get My Father Over Here!
"Hahaha!" The netizens in the live stream burst into laughter at the sight.
Tan Ping immediately shouted from behind, "You still want to get back in the car? Take a taxi this time!"
The young man from Henan scratched his head, looking quite sheepish and embarrassed. "I thought you said 'next time' just now!"
"Not this time either! You can't rely on luck! Do you understand?" Tan Ping stepped forward to warn him.
Then, he pulled a bill from his pocket. "I understand that working away from home isn't easy and you want to save money. How about this—I'll cover your taxi fare!"
"How can I let you do that? We martial arts practitioners must uphold our honor! When we make a promise, it’s as solid as a nail driven into wood!" The young man from Henan shook his head like a rattle.
He then set off on foot, running behind the tricycle. "Today, I’ll just follow along behind and run!"
Seeing this, the netizens in the live stream were even more amused.
"Honestly speaking, this Henan lad has real integrity!"
"That’s for sure. He fell from such a height and didn't even try to extort anyone!"
"No cowardice, no playing dirty, no extortion! He’s a decent guy!"
Seeing this, Tan Ping immediately said to his colleague, "Let's give him a ride in the patrol car!"
The colleague complied, immediately mounting a traffic enforcement motorcycle and quickly catching up to him.
At this moment, Tan Ping faced the camera and began his familiar lines: "Hello everyone! I am Tan Ping, your Officer Tan. We are now live on 'Tan Reviews Traffic'! We just encountered two traffic violators. Everyone should take this as a warning: when you are on the road, you absolutely must not overload..."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Officer Tan is right!" the netizens in the live stream chimed in.
"Officer Tan, please hurry up and bring on the next dreamer!"
The police officers Hua Hua and Wei Wei felt quite helpless. Every time the legal education segment started, the netizens were always impatient and wanted to skip it.
"Wei Wei, this 'unity of waist and horse' moment is great material. I'll export it, and you can make it into a short clip later!" the cool-headed officer Hua Hua said to the cute junior officer.
"Got it!" The junior officer nodded.
Just then, Tan Ping spotted another target. As he was finishing his legal lecture, he suddenly saw a sports car speeding past, ignoring the red light entirely!
Tan Ping immediately shouted, "Quick! There’s a red BMW up ahead that just ran a red light! That is extremely uncivilized behavior. Let’s pull him over and have a good word with him!"
A colleague standing by immediately drove the patrol car forward. Before long, the red BMW was intercepted.
Tan Ping walked up to the car and knocked on the window, signaling for the person inside to roll it down. Soon, the window slid down, revealing a woman with light makeup. She had an oval face, slender eyebrows, and long, jet-black hair draped over the seat back, her pretty face flushed with color.
As this scene hit the live stream, netizens flooded the chat with comments.
"It’s a female driver!"
"And she’s been drinking!"
"Looking at her, she’s had quite a bit!"
"Friends! The drunk driving check you’ve all been waiting for is finally here!"
Tan Ping frowned at the sight and handed her the breathalyzer. Before he could speak, the intoxicated beauty glanced at it and began to sing: "Pour the wine, drink it down, and sing out loud..." As she sang, she accompanied it with gestures.
The chat in the live stream exploded.
"Hahaha! This beauty just came out of a KTV booth!"
"Seeing Officer Tan's breathalyzer, she thought it was her turn at the microphone!"
"Even now, she still wants to pour the wine and sing out loud!"
Tan Ping immediately said, "Stop! I'm not asking you to sing—just blow into this!"
"Oh!" The intoxicated beauty stopped upon hearing him. She brushed some hair from her forehead and said, "Oh, I have 1.2 billion, 20 large villas, 3 Porsches..."
"No! I want you to blow into this!" Tan Ping interrupted the dazed woman again, pushing the breathalyzer closer.
The woman squinted at the device in Tan Ping's hand with dazed eyes and rephrased: "This, this, this thing is amazing. It's imported from the United States, costs a billion dollars, and can intercept missiles... Is that good enough?" She looked at Tan Ping expectantly.
"No! I'm not asking you to brag about it! I want you to blow air! Blow air—do you understand?" Tan Ping was at his wit's end.
"Oh! Blow air!" The woman pursed her rosy lips and blew gently into the breathalyzer. After blowing twice, she habitually stuck out her delicate tongue, seemingly preparing to lick the device.
Tan Ping immediately pulled the device back. "I'm asking you to blow air to test your alcohol level! I'm checking for drunk driving!"
"Huh? Checking for drunk driving?" The woman shivered in fright and scrambled to step on the gas pedal.
Tan Ping immediately stepped forward to stop her. "What are you doing? Trying to flee?"
On the other side, several colleagues rushed over to help Tan Ping subdue the woman. "What are you doing? Don't try to play games! Be aware of the consequences of fleeing—don't ruin yourself!"
Tan Ping also warned, "A smart person wouldn't choose to flee at a time like this!"
The woman seemed to sober up a bit. She looked at Tan Ping and asked, "Then leave me a way out!"
"A way out? The key is that you have to leave a way out for yourself! Stepping on the gas now is resisting law enforcement and fleeing, which carries a heavier penalty!" Tan Ping said sternly.
He handed the breathalyzer to her again. "Come on! Blow again!"
The woman had no choice but to comply.
*Beep! Beep!*
Soon, the breathalyzer started to alarm. Clearly, she had consumed quite a bit.
Tan Ping checked the reading: it had reached 184mg/ml. He couldn't help but ask, "How much did you drink? Look for yourself! It's at 184!"
"I didn't drink that much!" the woman replied.
"You didn't drink much? If you didn't drink much, how could you be like this?" Tan Ping asked, disbelieving.
"Officer, are the consequences serious?" The woman, now truly frightened, was finally a bit more sober.
"You're asking me if it's serious? Anything over 80mg/ml is considered drunk driving, which carries a penalty of up to six months of detention!" Tan Ping said, his irritation clear.
"Officer, how can I resolve this?" she asked expectantly.
A passerby chimed in, "Money can't solve this!"
Hearing that money couldn't fix it, the woman panicked even more. She blurted out, "Then call my dad quickly and tell him to get here right now!"
