62: Chapter 61, A Bit of a Trifle!
Ren Hao stumbled backward, and Fang Yi quickly stepped forward, grabbing him by the collar.
Just at that moment, the sound of the guard vehicle arose, approaching from afar.
A guard vehicle pulled up alongside, and then two or three people got out.
One of them furrowed his brow slightly upon seeing the scene and was instantly shocked when he saw Fang Yi holding Ren Hao by the collar.
Who is this person, to dare grab Ren Hao’s collar like that!
“Let go!” the man walked over and shouted.
Fang Yi glanced sideways at him and said, “And who might you be?”
“I am Captain Meng Guangqi of the Criminal Investigation Squad, release him immediately!” Meng Guangqi stated.
“What if I don’t let go?” Fang Yi asked in return.
Meng Guangqi’s eyes twitched, he had never seen someone so bold, so arrogant in the face of a guard.
“You dare not let go!
Fine, come with me to the Guard Department right away!” Meng Guangqi said as he pulled out handcuffs.
At that moment, a crisp voice rang out.
Another person got out of the guard vehicle, but this time it was a woman.
The woman had her hair in a ponytail, wore only light makeup, had a delicate and charming face.
It could be said she naturally had a sultry air about her.
She was dressed in a summer training uniform, which outlined her graceful figure, both full-bodied and statuesque.
Standing there, she seemed to carry an aura of valor.
Meng Guangqi looked at the female guard and frowned, “Li Xue, what are you trying to do?”
Li Xue, however, looked at Fang Yi and smiled slightly, thinking to herself, is this the man Qingci talked about?
He does seem very bold.
Li Xue’s action caught the attention of Meng Guangqi, who couldn’t help but feel a rush of anger as he shouted, “Take him away!”
“No way!” Li Xue protested.
“Li Xue, are you defying me?” Meng Guangqi said.
Li Xue replied, “It’s not that, but we should at least clarify the reasons first.
It’s really not good to arrest people indiscriminately.”
Meng Guangqi gave a cold smile, “The fact is right before your eyes!” In the next moment, he was already moving toward Fang Yi.
However, just then, Fang Yi slapped Ren Hao’s face again.
The sound of the slap was extremely loud.
Meng Guangqi was taken aback, then flew into a rage.
It was a clear provocation of his authority.
He yelled loudly, “You dare to strike?”
This time, Fang Yi released Ren Hao’s collar and said with a smile, “I just did, why don’t you come and hit me?”
Meng Guangqi trembled with rage, having never encountered someone before, someone who wasn’t afraid of the guards and dared to challenge their authority.
He strode over with handcuffs in hand, and what astonished him even more was that the other man actually extended his hands willingly.
Actually, this was also something Fang Yi couldn’t help.
This was Xuan Cang, not abroad, and he had the task of protecting Binnan on his shoulders, so he could only try his best to endure.
Meng Guangqi said, “Hmph, you’re quite sensible.
That’s good, at least you avoid some pain.”
Fang Yi replied, “If we had a one-on-one fight, you’d definitely be the one to suffer.”
Meng Guangqi sneered, “Sorry, but I am a guard.
Here in Xuan Cang, commoners don’t fight with officials.” With that, he moved in close to Fang Yi and whispered, “Kid, you’re done for this time.”
Fang Yi didn’t reply, just boarded the guard vehicle himself.
Meng Guangqi spat on the ground and said, “Fall in!” and turned to get back into the vehicle.
“Hold on!” But Li Xue was pointing at Ren Hao, “Aren’t you going to arrest him?”
Meng Guangqi was taken aback.
He hadn’t planned on arresting Ren Hao; he knew Ren Hao’s identity—how could he possibly arrest him?
Yet Li Xue had blurted it out so directly, making the situation quite awkward.
Ren Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Had he fallen to such a state that people were calling each other to attack him?
He scoffed, “Guard, you’d better be wise and not look for trouble.”
You dare to threaten a guard?
Just for that, I must arrest you.” Li Xue took out handcuffs and swiftly cuffed Ren Hao before he could react.
The next moment, Ren Hao was dragged into the guard vehicle by Li Xue.
Meng Guangqi was shocked as he saw this, but it was already too late.
Li Xue had shoved Ren Hao into the guard car, climbed into the driver’s seat, and promptly drove away.
Meng Guangqi stood there dazed, disheveled by the night wind.
Ding Miaoyan fell silent, ready to leave, when Kong Qingci approached her, saying, “Miss, please wait.” Ding Miaoyan turned back, looking at her puzzled.
“What should I call you?”
“Kong Qingci.” Kong Qingci smiled and said, “Where is Miss Ding planning to go?”
“The Guard Department.”
Kong Qingci laughed, “What a coincidence, I was also planning to go to the Guard Department.
Why don’t we go together?”
At the Guard Department, Li Xue rudely drove into the courtyard and parked, then jumped out of the car, opened the back door, and bellowed, “We’ve arrived, everyone get out quickly!”
It was at this time that a taxi stopped at the entrance of the Guard Department.
Meng Guangqi and his two subordinates sprinted inside and, upon seeing the people, Meng Guangqi sighed with relief, then immediately put on a stern face and pointed at Fang Yi, “Take him to the interrogation room!”
The two guards complied.
“Meng Squad Leader, what about this guy?” Li Xue asked with a smirk that was not quite a smirk.
In fact, Meng Guangqi was somewhat wary of Li Xue because of her extraordinary family background.
After pondering for a moment, Meng said, “Take her to make a statement.” This was a bit better, at least not causing the other party trouble.
In the interrogation room.
A fat guard and a thin guard sat in front of Fang Yi, who was handcuffed, seated across from them.
“Age, name…” the thin guard began to inquire.
But Fang Yi remained silent, just smiling, which irritated the thin guard.
He slammed the table forcefully, “Speak up!” Still, Fang Yi kept silent, only smiling, his smile somewhat chilling.
The thin guard felt a shiver run down his spine for no reason.
He had never encountered a suspect , who remained so composed upon arriving at the Guard Department; a simple smile could set someone on edge.
The fat guard said kindly, “Please cooperate with us, it’s part of our job.”
Fang Yi continued to smile, but this time he spoke, “One of you plays the nice guy, the other the bad guy.
I think I won’t say anything.
How about this—go and call your squad leader, what’s-his-name Meng.
I want to have a talk with him.”
The fat guard and the thin guard exchanged glances, realizing this man was impervious to both approaches, and they had no other choice.
A nondescript sedan stopped at the entrance of the Guard Department.
Hu Guanqing showed his ID to the sentry, who was suddenly startled, shivering with fear, as the Secretary-General himself had arrived.
After Hu Guanqing walked in, the sentry hastened to call inside to notify them.
As Hu Guanqing had just entered the Guard Department, a middle-aged man in a dark-colored training suit already rushed out from inside.
Upon seeing Hu Guanqing, the middle-aged man immediately extended his hand enthusiastically, “Good to see you, Secretary-General Hu.”
Hu Guanqing smiled, “Director Shi, good to see you.”
Shi Nianming quickly said, “Come, Secretary-General Hu, please have a seat in the office.”
Hu Guanqing shook his head and replied with a smile, “No need, Director Shi.
Actually, I’m here about a minor matter I need your help with…”
I really need recommendation tickets and comments, thank you so much!)
