"It's quite severe," Lin Nantian coughed twice, his face turning red as he spoke.
After uttering these words, he felt like he could no longer face anyone.
Everyone just wanted to say one word, which was Fuck!
Could you make it any more obvious that you're covering for someone?
"Right, it really is severe. Chief, do you know how they've been bullying us? I can demonstrate it for you," Hao Jian said.
"Yes, show me," Lin Nantian responded.
Lin Nantian felt like crying, thinking to himself, For God's sake, can you stop making a scene? Just finish this already!
"This is how he bullied me."
Hao Jian said before backhanding Liu Fudong across the face. Liu Fudong covered his face, looking pitiful and clueless about what was happening.
"Then he hit my hand," Hao Jian continued as he kicked Liu Fudong, adding:
"And then he hit my foot."
"Next, he just kept repeating these two actions."
Hao Jian started beating and kicking Liu Fudong relentlessly.
The crowd watched Hao Jian's brutal actions, speechless and unsure how to describe their emotions.
Shameless! Utterly shameless!
How could someone be so shameless? He was clearly beating someone else, yet claiming they hurt his hands and feet.
Lin Nantian was about to cry, saying weakly, "Sir, you can stop now, I understand the whole story."
If he didn't stop Hao Jian now, he might actually kill someone, and that would not reflect well on him as the chief.
"It's good that you understand, Chief. It really wasn't our fault," Hao Jian said, looking innocently at Lin Nantian.
Lin Nantian waved his hand, bitterly smiling:
"Yes, yes, all of you are innocent."
By now, Liu Fudong's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he lay on the ground twitching slowly.
Upon hearing Lin Nantian's words, another spurt of fresh blood sprayed out, not from the beating, but from anger.
He was beaten to this extent, and they still considered Hao Jian and his group innocent?
"Take them and lock them up in the cell, criminal detention for six months," Lin Nantian ordered directly.
Hao Jian's intentions were clear by now; since Liu Fudong and his group had offended him, they should pay the price.
"What?" Ma Ru's face drained of color as she hastily clung to Liu Fudong's arm:
"Godfather, you must think of something quickly. I don't want to go to jail; I'm still a university student. If I go to jail, my life will be ruined!"
Her parents had struggled to put her through university. If her family found out about this, they might disown her, and the university would likely expel her.
Liu Fudong was utterly dumbstruck at this point!
What else could he say now? Not only had he been beaten up, but now he was about to be sent to prison. What on earth was happening?
"Arrange a special cell for him. He likes the feeling of chrysanthemums being caressed."
Hao Jian's sinister laugh echoed, thinking to himself that if they wanted to violate him, now it was time to see who would end up violated.
Lin Nantian's heart tightened, thinking to himself how ruthless Hao Jian was, planning to make Liu Fudong experience homosexual love.
Hao Jian winked at Liu Fudong, "In these six months, I believe you will have a rather lush experience, tough guy."
Hearing this, Liu Fudong's eyes rolled back, and he fainted completely, utterly despairing.
"Mr. Hao Jian, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I won't dare to do it again," he pleaded.
Seeing this scene, Ma Zifeng was already scared to death, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. With a thud, he knelt down before Hao Jian.
If even Lin Nantian obeyed Hao Jian, what chances did he have at resisting?
Ma Zifeng wasn't foolish. Judging by Lin Nantian's reaction to Hao Jian, he knew Hao Jian must be a big deal, and he had really kicked the iron plate this time.
"Realized you've kicked the iron plate, so you're begging for mercy?" Hao Jian chuckled coldly, "Do you still think I was joking when I said I'd spare your life?"
Ma Zifeng shuddered, finally understanding why Hao Jian was so composed earlier; the man had never considered him significant at all.
To think he had amusingly considered Hao Jian an ignorant fool; the real fool was himself!
"But I already gave you a chance. Do you think I would give you a second one?"
Hao Jian approached Ma Zifeng with a smile that was not quite a smile, a handgun now mysteriously in his hand.
"Is that my gun?" At this moment, one of the officers suddenly cried out in horror.
He hadn't felt his gun being taken at all.
Seeing this, Lin Nantian gasped, turned his head to look at Old Man Lin, as if asking whether Hao Jian would really kill someone here.
"That's his style, perverse, arrogant, unrestrained."
Old Man Lin too could only bitterly smile, unfortunately telling Lin Nantian that it was true, Hao Jian was really planning to kill here, and they would have to clean up after him.
"Mr. Hao Jian, I... I'm just a lackey. I didn't know your status, this... really isn't my fault," Ma Zifeng pleaded with a mournful face.
"A lackey? I think it's more than just that. You must have taken quite a few benefits from Liu Fudong, right? Speaking of which, you are more despicable than Liu Fudong. It's normal for them to be ruthless because they're rich, but you, as a civil servant of the state, misuse the authority given to you by the state to do whatever you want!
In the end, you even turned your fangs towards your benefactors!"
Hao Jian's face was icy, his tone chilling as he said:
"If today you met someone else instead of me, would you be begging me desperately like you are now? You wouldn't! You would torment them cruelly! You would use every means at your disposal to destroy them! And no one would ever know about it."
Hao Jian's words struck a chord with everyone present.
At this moment, Lin Nantian and Old Man Lin looked most troubled. To have such a person under one's command, and even as the police captain, if this got out, Lin Nantian's reputation would be in tatters, and some might even suspect Lin Nantian was in cahoots with Ma Zifeng.
Old Man Lin's anger stemmed from his loyalty to the state and the people. He could not tolerate acts of betrayal against the state and harm to the people. In his view, Ma Zifeng indeed deserved to die.
"Let him handle this matter, I will report it to the authorities," Old Man Lin said coldly, his words already sealing Ma Zifeng's fate.
Hao Jian was equally enraged for the same reasons as Old Man Lin. Whether a police officer or a soldier, one should protect the homeland and prioritize the people.
Hao Jian was proud to be a soldier, but Ma Zifeng's actions were an insult to the medals they wore.
