280: Chapter 280: Arrogant people, must pay the price!
Just now, when Li Youtang ntioned how formidable Fang Bai was at the “Imperial Hall” on the top floor of the precinct, Shen Dongxing really couldn’t see Fang Bai having the deanor of a master.
“And who are you?”
Seeing a superior’s aura emanating from Shen Dongxing, who was evidently used to positions of authority, Fang Bai’s brow furrowed slightly.
“This gentleman is Shen Dongxing, the bureau chief from Zhongzhou City Police Station,” Cheng Dihaou introduced Shen Dongxing’s identity, not without an intention to pressure Fang Bai and make him back down.
Standing behind Fang Bai, Ruan Hongpeng and the others, who had previously been envisioning the glorious life after taking over “Imperial Hall Entertainnt,” changed their expressions upon hearing Shen Dongxing’s identity, revealing a hint of timidity in their eyes.
From ancient tis, commoners refrained from challenging officials, with Cheng Dihaou having the backing of the deputy bureau chief of the Zhongzhou City Police Station, Fang Bai, no matter how skilled he might be, would probably not dare to confront them directly.
Let alone gaining any advantages tonight, whether they could leave safely was an unknown.
Hearing that Shen Dongxing held an official position, Fang Bai’s frown deepened even more.
Although Fang Bai’s current power and cultivation level could be considered invincible in the secular world, to the extent that he could disregard the constraints of secular laws and rules, many of his relatives and friends were still ordinary people.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he did not wish to conflict with those from official circles, lest his loved ones get dragged into trouble.
Seeing Fang Bai’s serious expression and his hesitation, Cheng Dihaou thought he was scared and felt a surge of relief.
Shen Dongxing also believed that his regal aura had intimidated Fang Bai, and couldn’t help feeling sowhat proud.
Thinking of the two beauties waiting for him upstairs, he felt his body heat up.
“You’ve trespassed into soone else’s business establishnt, this is intentional provocation and troublemaking!
Moreover, many custors have been scared off by your behavior, and you should also compensate for these losses!
Out of respect for Boss Cheng, if you apologize and pay a few hundred thousand as compensation, we can settle this matter and let it be.
What do you say, Boss Cheng?” Shen Dongxing commanded from his seat on the sofa, full of domineering authority.
“I will follow Bureau Chief Shen’s arrangents!” Cheng Dihaou bent forward slightly and said.
“What about you?” Shen Dongxing looked at Fang Bai with a severe gaze.
Fang Bai glanced at Shen Dongxing and replied coldly, “Who do you think you are?
You’re not qualified to order around.”
It was a joke, Fang Bai was sworn brothers with Old Master Lu, Lu Shengguo from the Yanjing Lu Family, one of the few notable figures in Huaxia, even the current Pri Minister of Huaxia treated him with great respect.
Just because of this, Fang Bai already possessed an extraordinary status, and a re deputy bureau chief from the Zhongzhou City Police Station was nothing in his eyes.
Not to ntion Shen Dongxing, even Mayor Lu Xinghe had to be respectful and humble before Fang Bai without any hint of arrogance.
Furthermore, Fang Bai had saved the lives of people like Su Linglong from the Zhongzhou Su Family, Dongfang Leiming from the Yanjing Dongfang Family, Ye Wui from the Lingnan Ye Family, and Tang Wenrou from the Anxi Tang Family.
The power behind any of these individuals was not to be underestimated.
“The arrogant ones are the ones that will pay the price!” Shen Dongxing’s face turned as dark as if it could drip water, and the twitching muscle at the corner of his mouth revealed how intense his inner rage was at that mont.
Shen Dongxing ca from the renowned Anxi Shen Family.
He served as the deputy bureau chief of the Zhongzhou City Police Station, and it was rumored that he might beco the head bureau chief next year – he held a position of great power and significance.
Now, a twenty-sothing-year-old had publicly insulted him with words like “Who do you think you are?”, which, to Shen Dongxing, was an unspeakable humiliation.
Seeing Shen Dongxing in uncontrollable anger, beginning to call and gather police to arrest Fang Bai and the others, Cheng Dihaou maintained a calm facade, but internally, he was overjoyed.
Shen Dongxing, a man full of pride and self-importance, insulted by Fang Bai, would certainly not let the matter rest.
This would turn the conflict from Cheng Dihaou versus Fang Bai to Shen Dongxing versus Fang Bai, allowing Cheng Dihaou to step aside temporarily and watch the two sides clash.
In Cheng Dihaou’s view, the outco of this battle would definitely be in Shen Dongxing’s favor.
No matter how powerful Fang Bai was, he lacked the courage and ability to confront the state machinery, and the mont Shen Dongxing’s n showed their guns, all he could do was to submit.
The reason Fang Bai hesitated was not that he was afraid of Shen Dongxing’s official status but rather he did not want to make things worse.
Seeing Shen Dongxing calling to gather officers, and knowing the latter was a top figure in the Zhongzhou police, a chill flickered in his eyes.
Fang Bai despised those who wielded great power but failed to seek the welfare of the people.
Shen Dongxing, as the head of the police, had appeared in such a setting and spoke to defend Cheng Dihaou, a major figure in the underground world.
This alone proved he had degenerated into a protector of evil forces and was no longer suited for his position.
It was harmful to the nation and the people.
With Fang Bai’s capabilities, there were certainly many ways to deal with Shen Dongxing, but since he was in the secular world, he didn’t want to openly break the secular rules and decided to resolve the issue using secular thods.
So Fang Bai also took out his phone and called Mayor Lu Xinghe.
Just as Cheng Dihaou had hoped to use Shen Dongxing’s influence to suppress Fang Bai, Fang Bai planned to employ Mayor Lu Xinghe’s power against Shen Dongxing.
As long as Mayor Lu Xinghe arrived, Fang Bai would find a way to have Cheng Dihaou give up “Imperial Hall Entertainnt,” leave Zhongzhou City, and also ensure that Shen Dongxing could no longer hold his position as deputy bureau chief.
When Mayor Lu received Fang Bai’s call, he was preparing to rest.
After hearing about the incident at “Imperial Hall Entertainnt,” he was indignant and lost all desire for sleep.
He promptly called for his driver and secretary, and notified several departnt heads, mandating them to reach the lobby of “Imperial Hall Entertainnt” within half an hour.
Mayor Lu inherited his father’s upright character and was an incorruptible official.
Aside from the fact that Fang Bai was the life-saving benefactor of his nephew and a close friend of his father, the mont he learned that Shen Dongxing, the deputy bureau chief of the Zhongzhou City Police Station, was actually exploiting his authority to support evil forces, he wished he could imdiately dismiss Shen Dongxing from his post.
Upon receiving Mayor Lu’s call, the heads of the related departnts, although unsure of what had transpired, dared not disobey when summoned by the mayor and rushed to “Imperial Hall Entertainnt.”
A few officials, who were relatively familiar with Cheng Dihaou, called him as they were en route, seeking details about the incident that had enraged the mayor.
Inside the lobby of “Imperial Hall Entertainnt,” Cheng Dihaou’s phone rang incessantly.
After receiving calls from several departnt heads and learning that Mayor Lu along with other officials would soon arrive, Cheng Dihaou’s forehead started to sweat profusely.
