The security guards from Wang Yifa's company were all fierce and imposing, their arms covered in intimidating tattoos. It was clear at first glance that they were not good people. This was precisely why Deputy Director Zhou Xuanzheng, upon hearing there was a disturbance, imdiately assud it was those n causing trouble without a second thought.
But now, Wang Yifa was actually claiming that the ones causing trouble weren't them, but Chen Fei and his companion… just the two of them?
Deputy Director Zhou couldn't help but glance at the two n before turning his incredulous gaze back to Wang Yifa. "How is that possible?" he asked, disbelieving. "You're saying it was just the two of them causing trouble? Are you joking?"
After all, there were at least seven or eight of those fierce-looking security guards present, yet Chen Fei's side truly only had two people. In this situation, he genuinely couldn't understand how a re two people could possibly be the ones making a scene. If that wasn't a joke, what was?
"Deputy Director Zhou, President Wang is correct. Not only were those two involved in disturbing public order and maliciously damaging Sheng'an Real Estate Company's property, but they also assaulted soone right in front of just now. The nature of their actions is utterly vile…" Du Yuanbing, the director of Xicheng Police Station, imdiately interjected, his explanation causing a gleam to flicker in Wang Ye's eyes.
"Disturbing public order and damaging Sheng'an Real Estate Company's property? Assaulting soone in front of you? This police station director certainly knows how to levy so heavy accusations," a voice tinged with faint sarcasm suddenly remarked.
The next mont, a cold smirk touched Chen Fei's lips as he walked toward a hidden corner and pulled out a small video cara. This single action caused the faces of Wang Yifa, Du Yuanbing, the security guards, and the other police officers to change dramatically. A cold sweat broke out on their brows, and their hands and feet turned icy.
He actually hid a high-definition mini cara in such a concealed spot beforehand? And that angle, that position… doesn't that an everything that just happened was… How could this be! When did he manage to hide that cara there?
Wang Yifa's face went pale. Director Du Yuanbing of the Xicheng Police Station was also panic-stricken, his limbs frozen.
"Xiaofei, when did you—!?" Even Yi Shu was utterly shocked, never having anticipated such a twist. He had no idea when Chen Fei had prepared the cara, let alone when he had hidden it in that corner.
"Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou, if you don't mind, please take a look at this first," Chen Fei said with a faint smile, walking up to Wang Ye and Zhou Xuanzheng and holding out the small cara.
"You… you are…"
Upon hearing Chen Fei's familiar voice, Director Wang Ye couldn't help but shiver, his sharp gaze now tinged with deep reverence. This was no joke. This was a man whom even the esteed Director Zhu of the Northern Mountain City Public Security Bureau and Mayor Huang of Northern Mountain City treated with the utmost respect. He had been repeatedly and sternly instructed over the phone to satisfy all of this person's demands. And make no mistake, they were demands, not requests or pleas. This alone showed how formidable the man's status was. How could he dare to be impertinent?
"Good day to you, sir."
It was apparent that Deputy Director Zhou Xuanzheng had also received so sort of hint from Director Wang Ye, because there wasn't a trace of arrogance in his deanor. Instead, he greeted Chen Fei discreetly in a low voice. This subtle exchange went unnoticed by Du Yuanbing, Wang Yifa, and the others.
"Gentlen, please have a look at the video on this cara. It was recorded just now," Chen Fei said, deliberately raising his voice.
"Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou, that's not…" Du Yuanbing began, clearly panicking. He knew that if the earlier events were fully captured on that cara, he'd have no way to defend himself. Their charade had been so obvious that even a fool could see what was going on; how could they possibly deceive the perceptive eyes of Director Wang and Deputy Director Zhou?
"Insolence! Utterly outrageous!"
Just then, after viewing so of the video, Director Wang Ye exploded with fury. He pointed a finger at Du Yuanbing's nose and roared, "Director Du, I need an explanation from you right now! Can you tell what in the world is going on in that video?"
WHOOSH.
Even after his furious outburst, Director Wang Ye couldn't help but wipe his forehead, only to find it drenched in sweat. Who was Chen Fei? He was a major figure that even Director Zhu of the city's Public Security Bureau and Mayor Huang of Northern Mountain City spoke of with great deference. And now, a director from a re county police station dared to sche against him? Weren't they courting death? This was a disaster of epic proportions!
Witnessing the highest-ranking boss in the county's police system erupt with such rage, the other officers all jumped in shock. It was no small matter. If Director Wang was truly angered, the consequences would be severe.
"I, I… it's not… Director Wang, please let explain! I… President Wang, co over here! Director Wang, let introduce you. This is President Wang from Sheng'an Real Estate Company, and he is also Secretary Liu's brother-in-law." Seeing his misdeeds exposed, Du Yuanbing's palms were slick with cold sweat and his face was ashen. He suddenly grabbed the nearby Wang Yifa and dragged him forward, making a nonsensical introduction.
"Secretary Liu? Which Secretary Liu?" Deputy Director Zhou frowned. There weren't many secretaries with the surna Liu in Chengyang County.
But in the next instant, his eyes narrowed, and a look of extre surprise crossed his face. "Secretary Liu… Director Du, are you talking about Liu Guangrong? Secretary Liu Guangrong?" As he spoke, his expression shifted. If it really was that Liu Guangrong, then this matter had just beco far more serious. Director Wang Ye hadn't ntioned anything about this before they arrived.
"That's right! My brother-in-law is Liu Guangrong, the Secretary of the County Party Committee!"
Seeing the Deputy Director's alard reaction at the re ntion of his brother-in-law's na, Wang Yifa's confidence surged back instantly. He first confird it with a smug look, then turned his gaze to Wang Ye and said loudly, "Ahem, Director Wang, could you let see that video?"
Previously, his attitude toward Wang Ye and Zhou Xuanzheng had been cautious and fearful. But now, realizing the weight his brother-in-law's na carried—enough to intimidate a deputy director—he was filled with confidence. He now spoke to the chief of the county public security bureau with arrogance and presumption, as if he fully expected Wang Ye to comply.
Seeing this, Yi Shu's face paled. "Director, Director Wang, you can't give him the video…" He knew the video was their only leverage. If Wang Yifa got his hands on it and destroyed it, they would have nothing.
However, Wang Ye shot a discreet glance at Chen Fei and saw him give a subtle nod. Though surprised, he followed Chen Fei's lead and wordlessly handed the cara to Wang Yifa.
As expected, my brother-in-law's na really carries a lot of weight!
Witnessing the 'mighty and arrogant' chief of the county public security bureau fall silent and obediently hand over the evidence at the ntion of Liu Guangrong's na, Wang Yifa's pudgy face bead with smugness. He exuded an air of invincibility.
BANG!
CRASH!
In the next instant, a ferocious, sinister smirk twisted his chubby face. He lifted the cara high and smashed it violently against the ground, then began stomping on the pieces with his foot. The scene made Yi Shu's face drain of color and his lips tremble. Wang Ye and Deputy Director Zhou frowned deeply, a cold glint flashing in Wang Ye's eyes. He was, after all, the chief of the Chengyang County Public Security Bureau. For soone to be so audacious as to destroy criminal evidence with such a provocative act right in front of him… did they really think he was a pushover?
"Director Wang, don't be angry, don't be angry. You see, President Wang is just a bit worked up, that's all…" Although Du Yuanbing had anticipated this, when he stole a glance at Wang Ye's thunderous expression, his legs still trembled. He offered a shaky, forced smile. The chief of the county public security bureau was the highest authority in the county's police system. Wang Yifa could afford to be foolish with Secretary Liu as his backer, but Du Yuanbing didn't have such a fortunate sister. He was walking on thin ice, terrified that Director Wang would take out his anger on him.
"Director Wang, look, now there's nothing left, is there? Why don't you and Deputy Director Zhou go about your business? Director Du is here, and that's more than enough. He can handle it," Wang Yifa pressed on, seeing Du Yuanbing's terrified state but still believing Wang Ye wouldn't dare to touch him. The man was completely carried away, having almost forgotten his own place. He was now fully convinced that his brother-in-law's influence was so great that the chief of the county public security bureau wouldn't dare say a single harsh word to him. Worthy of a County Committee Secretary, indeed! So powerful!
"But what if I don't want to leave?"
He never expected that, right after he spoke, Director Wang Ye would reply with a flat, emotionless tone.
At these words, Du Yuanbing's face changed, and his legs trembled as if they'd lost all strength. He couldn't help but cry out inwardly, It's over. It's really over! Director Wang is truly angry now!
In official circles of the sa level, everything revolved around one thing: face. Without a complete falling out, even County Committee Secretary Liu Guangrong would likely never use such a dismissive tone with the chief of the county public security bureau. To speak like that was to sever all ties. On what grounds did Wang Yifa think he could do that? What a fucking idiot!
