Chapter 219: Chapter 220: Montum
This kid was nad Xiao Shengyou, and his father, Xiao Jianguo, was the Deputy Director of the City Public Security Bureau. Relying on his father’s power, Xiao was quite arrogant normally. Although he hadn’t committed any major evil deeds, he bullied quite a few people, and whenever he caused any trouble, the people from the police stations and sub-bureaus would give face to his father and not make things difficult for him.
Moreover, Xiao Shengyou’s mother was an extrely protective woman. As long as there was trouble, she would side with her son, which made Xiao even more fearless and reckless in his actions.
To him, hitting a taxi driver was a trivial matter that he hadn’t taken to heart. Showing up at the police station was rely a formality to save the face of the station director and for those around to see so as to prevent too much public uproar, since the internet could be quite powerful these days.
Usually, that would have been sufficient, but who could have expected that today there would be soone like ng Xiaofei, who insisted on pursuing the matter and even recorded a video on her phone? That was sowhat troubleso. So, after they got the mory card from the phone, they threw it into the toilet and flushed it down. Denying any wrongdoing was the approach they took, leaving ng Xiaofei without evidence.
Xiao Shengyou had originally planned to deal with the persistent ng Xiaofei later, but the mont he saw her appearance, his intentions changed. She was absolutely beautiful, a bombshell beauty—truly a rarity. The thought of dealing with Xiaofei turned into a desire to get her into bed.
"Beauty, do you know where you are? This is a police station. If you keep behaving foolishly here, that’s breaking the law. We could detain you for ten days or even half a month without any issue," Xiao Shengyou said after laughing, then put on a stern face as he deliberately intimidated ng Xiaofei.
ng Xiaofei glared and retorted, "The police station isn’t your private property. You think you can just detain whoever you want?"
Xiao Shengyou squinted his eyes, then gave Director Liu a aningful look. Understanding the cue, Director Liu suddenly beca stern and shouted, "You are blatantly disrespecting the national public security institutions, causing such a commotion here. I’m going to arrest you right now."
ng Xiaofei looked at Director Liu incredulously and angrily responded, "You dare?"
Director Liu snorted coldly and said, "What would I not dare to do? Your actions already fully fit the description for disturbing public order, it’s not just about detaining you—reeducation through labor wouldn’t be a problem either."
"What? Reeducation through labor?" ng Xiaofei couldn’t believe her own ears. She was clearly upholding justice and providing evidence, and now she was actually going to be detained and even face reeducation through labor.
At this mont, Xiao Shengyou quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Director Liu, don’t be so harsh. After all, the law is not devoid of compassion. This lady started with good intentions, and although she has so misunderstandings about us, we cannot detain or send her to reeducation just for that."
Director Liu said with a pained expression, "But she is being so relentless, completely hindering our work. If I don’t detain her, how are we supposed to function in the future?"
Xiao Shengyou hurriedly said, "Director Liu, can you do
a favor and let this go?"
Director Liu hesitated for a mont then sternly replied, "Alright, I’ll do you this favor, but you must take her away imdiately, so she does not hinder our work here."
"Alright, thank you, Director Liu. Beauty, let’s go. Otherwise, if you get detained, it would disrupt everything," Xiao Shengyou now appeared quite considerate, and as he spoke, he reached out to grab ng Xiaofei’s arm as if convincing her to leave.
Li Yifei found it amusing to watch. Director Liu and Xiao Shengyou played off each other like two clowns. To help Xiao pursue a woman, Director Liu disregarded his professional duties. Officials from the Public Security Bureau resorted to such thods—it was utterly disgraceful. No wonder Lin Qiong had to operate covertly to solve any significant case while working with such a person.
Usually, ng Xiaofei might seem a bit dense, but she was quite astute in this matter. She stepped back to avoid Xiao’s hand and scoffed, "Stop putting on a show. You’re a station director and yet you resort to such tactics. Don’t you feel ashad?"
Director Liu’s face imdiately turned extrely ugly. Being called out directly by ng Xiaofei was a hit to his prestige. Now genuinely angry, he ordered, "You really don’t know what’s good for you. Arrest her."
The other police officers hesitated at this point, but Director Liu glared at them and barked, "Didn’t you hear what I said? Arrest her, detain her for fifteen days."
Xiao Shengyou quickly interjected, "Director Liu, co on, do
a favor here."
"Shengyou, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but if I don’t detain her, then I’ll be just like one of the guys hitting on chicks with you."
Xiao Shengyou had originally thought Director Liu was just putting on a show, but he now realized that Director Liu was actually getting quite angry. However, he felt that this was even better. If Director Liu really arrested ng Xiaofei and made her suffer a little, it would be easy as pie for him to have Director Liu release her later. Wouldn’t he then instantly win the beauty’s heart and easily take her to bed?
At that mont, he pretended to be a bit annoyed and said to ng Xiaofei, "Look what you’ve done, you’ve made Director Liu anxious. Alright, alright, wait for ; I will definitely get you out."
Following Xiao Shengyou’s order, two policen ca over to grab ng Xiaofei. ng Xiaofei was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode and certainly wasn’t willing to be detained like this, she furiously exclaid, "You dare!"
"Take her away!" Director Liu barked once more.
At this point, the two policen hesitated no longer and rushed towards ng Xiaofei, reaching out to grab her.
ng Xiaofei, a young woman faced with two policen, had no ans to resist. What hurt most was the sheer injustice of the situation, the realization that against the mighty arms of national institutions, she felt utterly insignificant, with no chance of resistance. A wave of powerlessness overwheld her.
Just as she was about to be seized by the policen, she involuntarily stepped back and was enveloped by a pair of strong arms around her waist. When she turned around, she saw herself in the embrace of Li Yifei, leaning against his chest. With Li Yifei, she felt as if she had found a refuge, and the feeling of helplessness dissipated greatly.
But the thought that Li Yifei was just another ordinary person, perhaps good at fighting, was of little use in such a place. He couldn’t possibly fight the policen, could he? And that thought worried her imnsely.
"Stop!" Li Yifei commanded in a deep voice. He had been quietly observing from the sidelines, boiling with anger inside. Back when he was with the Flying Hawk Squad, he had participated in life-risking operations to maintain national security. Yet here at ho, these so-called police officers were committing such acts, like parasites corroding the nation he had fought to protect. How could he not be furious?
"You also want to hinder the Public Security Bureau’s law enforcent? Do you know where you are? Look up and see what’s above you!" Although Director Liu had noticed Li Yifei and Su Yiyi accompanying ng Xiaofei earlier, he hadn’t taken them seriously since Li Yifei hadn’t spoken up. But as soon as Li Yifei spoke, Director Liu’s eyes widened.
The police information board above prominently bore the bright national emblem, which infuriated Li Yifei even more. He shouted, "Do you realize this is a national institution? Do you even rember you’re under the national emblem? The power given to you by the nation is ant to protect the people’s peace, to contribute to the country’s stability and harmony. What are you doing? Ignoring national laws and justice because of personal connections, is this what you call law enforcent? What law are you enforcing? As the director of a police station, do your actions do justice to the national emblem above you, do they honor the police uniform you wear?"
Li Yifei spoke with righteousness and gravity, rendering Director Liu speechless and embarrassed, unable to retort, especially since he knew he was at fault and that his actions were indeed not fitting for a police station director.
Su Yiyi, standing by Li Yifei’s side, had been quite scared, but after hearing his words and seeing his resolute profile, she couldn’t help but feel imnse admiration for him. This was her boyfriend, and she felt incredibly proud and fortunate, her hands instinctively clutching at Li Yifei’s arm.
ng Xiaofei turned her head and stared at Li Yifei in amazent. She was well acquainted with him and always felt assured by his presence, thinking of him as a dependable guy. Even when Li Yifei had fought to rescue her, she had only thought of him as a strong fighter, very considerate, but now his image lood much larger in her heart.
In a woman’s mind, a man who is unafraid to confront authority is truly mighty and possesses genuine machismo.
Director Liu was at a loss for words after Li Yifei’s outburst, but Xiao Shengyou was utterly disdainful of such grand principles. In his view, with his father’s power, he was untouchable; power was theirs, not ant for the common people. Seeing ng Xiaofei leaning on Li Yifei, looking vulnerable and protected, and Li Yifei beside the beautiful Su Yiyi, he felt extrely annoyed and snorted disdainfully, "The kid sure can talk. Inside the police station, you even dare to discuss the law? Who do you think you are?"
This reminded Director Liu that within this police station, he was the boss. Who was Li Yifei anyway? But at this point, he was genuinely wary of Li Yifei; an ordinary person couldn’t speak so strongly, and he gravely asked, "Who are you?"
Li Yifei snorted and said, "Does it matter who I am? When enforcing the law, do you need to consider who the other person is? There’s an old saying that princes and commoners are equal before the law. Has the world really regressed to the point where you enforce the law differently based on who the person is? Do I have to be so ’Second Generation Official’ or ’Rich Second Generation’ for you to even consider my words?"
Director Liu turned even paler at Li Yifei’s reprimand, but the more Li Yifei spoke, the more hesitant he beca. As the director of a police station, he was no fool and could gauge people quite well; judging by Li Yifei’s deanor, he seed to be a person of the world. With two beauties by his side, who seed very close to him, beauties of this caliber were rarely seen with ordinary folks, let alone two. And it absolutely required sheer capability to manage that.
At that mont, a policeman whispered into Director Liu’s ear, "Director Liu, the Porsche parked outside should be his."
Director Liu’s mouth twitched again. A person who drives a Porsche, how could he be soone easily provoked? If it were a Rich Second Generation, it might be manageable, but if it were a Second Generation Official, that could prove troubleso. Moreover, even if it were a Rich Second Generation, those who could afford a Porsche often had powerful connections. For a re director of a police station like him, that might not be enough.
