“What do you think?”
“As the director of a police station, even without evidence, you should have a basic judgment of right and wrong. Otherwise, how can you be a director?”
Chu Lingtian’s gaze turned cold, and he stared directly at Wang Haiyang, retorting.
Wang Haiyang, a dignified police chief who had also served in the military and was battle-hardened, was now so intimidated by the young Chu Lingtian’s stare that his scalp tingled.
“Yes, I’m sorry, I was confused!”
Wang Haiyang came to his senses and quickly apologized to Chu Lingtian.
The moment Wang Haiyang arrived at the bar and saw that the person his son, Wang Jie, had provoked was Chu Lingtian, his heart sank. He immediately knew that his son Wang Jie and the young master Wei Song were in the wrong for the conflict that night.
Even though Wang Haiyang didn’t know Chu Lingtian’s true identity yet, he had learned from a previous incident where Chu Lingtian spanked Xiao Lengyue that Chu Lingtian was a member of the Dragon Country’s strongest unit, the Wolf Warrior Commando. He had returned to the city to carry out a secret mission under the orders of the Dragon Country’s king.
How could such a person cause trouble and break the law?
Even an ordinary person, with a little thought, would know that Chu Lingtian wouldn’t do such a thing.
However, Wei Song and Wang Jie had conspired to shift all the blame onto Chu Lingtian and even portrayed him as an unpardonable pervert, which had caused Wang Haiyang’s previous judgment to waver.
In fact, this was mainly because Wang Haiyang’s heart still leaned towards his son Wang Jie, which was why he asked Chu Lingtian if the truth of the matter was as Wei Song and Wang Jie had described.
But now, Chu Lingtian’s cold retort had jolted Wang Haiyang out of his self-deceptive state.
“Dad, I’m your son! Don’t you believe me, but believe this outsider surnamed Chu instead?”
Wang Jie was shocked that his righteous stance had been completely subdued by Chu Lingtian’s simple retort.
Wei Song frowned, putting on airs as the son of a mayor, and said to Wang Haiyang, “Director Wang, the truth is exactly as Wang Jie and I have stated. If you don’t believe us, I can call my dad and tell him the truth, and you two can discuss it. How about that?”
Wei Song was feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had confidently declared to others that Wang Haiyang’s apology to Chu Lingtian was just a delaying tactic, but now he had been proven wrong, which was very humiliating and a public slap in the face.
Wang Haiyang heard the threat in Wei Song’s words, but he was also a smart man. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend Chu Lingtian, nor could he afford to offend the Wei family behind Wei Song. So, he ignored Wei Song and decided to protect his son first.
Bang!
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Haiyang swept his leg across his son Wang Jie’s legs.
Plop.
Wang Jie cried out in pain and instinctively knelt before Chu Lingtian.
“Hold him down and don’t let him get up!”
Seeing Wang Jie try to stand, Wang Haiyang immediately ordered two male police officers behind him.
Following Wang Haiyang’s command, the two officers stepped forward and held Wang Jie’s shoulders, one on each side. No matter how Wang Jie struggled, he couldn’t get up in front of Chu Lingtian.
“Mr. Chu, it’s my fault for not disciplining him properly, which led to Wang Jie becoming this unfilial son. I hope you can be magnanimous and give him another chance to reform.”
Wang Haiyang looked at Chu Lingtian with a pleading expression.
Chu Lingtian said coldly, “This son of yours does need proper education. I’ll let him go this time, but remember, if I ever see him again, or hear that he’s still relying on his influence to bully others and break the law, I will show no mercy.”
“Yes, yes, I will keep that in mind!”
Wang Haiyang nodded repeatedly, secretly relieved. He was terrified that Chu Lingtian might become displeased and kill his son Wang Jie, which would be disastrous for him.
After all, Chu Lingtian was a member of the Dragon Country’s strongest unit, the Wolf Warrior Commando, and was on a secret mission in the city under the king’s orders, with the authority to act on his own judgment and execute first, then report later.
Chu Lingtian could kill freely, as long as it wasn’t wanton killing. Anyone who dared to kill him would be committing a crime punishable by the extermination of their entire clan. The Dragon Country’s king would move heaven and earth to find the culprit and eliminate them, because anyone who dared to kill Chu Lingtian was essentially declaring war on the entire nation.
“Bai Mei, tell Director Wang what happened.”
After speaking, Chu Lingtian put his arm around Guo Xiaoyan’s slender waist and sat down on the sofa.
Bai Mei came to her senses and said to Wang Haiyang, “Director Wang, this is what happened. Chu Lingtian and his girlfriend came to my bar to drink. Your son Wang Jie and Wei Song took a fancy to this pure and beautiful young lady and wanted her to drink with them. After she refused, Wang and Wei tried to force her, and that’s when Chu Lingtian stepped in to teach them a lesson.”
“You scoundrel, speak! Is that what happened?”
Wang Haiyang walked up to Wang Jie and asked angrily.
Wang Jie looked up at Wang Haiyang and roared defiantly, “Yes, that’s what happened! So what? Just execute me!”
Bang!
Enraged, Wang Haiyang kicked Wang Jie hard in the stomach.
“You beast, get out! Get out!” Wang Haiyang roared, then ordered the two police officers holding Wang Jie, “Take him back to the temporary holding cell at the police station and don’t let him out without my permission!”
“Yes!”
The two officers immediately dragged Wang Jie out of the bar.
Chu Lingtian watched this scene without saying a word. He knew that Wang Haiyang’s harsh punishment of Wang Jie was, in fact, a way to protect his son by having his subordinates escort him away under the guise of anger.
Because if he stayed here for even a second longer, Wang Jie would be in greater danger of being further beaten or even killed by Chu Lingtian.
However, Chu Lingtian was not one to kill indiscriminately. He had no deep-seated animosity towards Wang Jie, and Wang Haiyang’s desire to save his son was, to some extent, a natural paternal instinct. Therefore, Chu Lingtian did not press the matter.
“Director Wang, who is this man surnamed Chu? Why are you so afraid of him?”
Wei Song looked at Wang Haiyang and asked in a deep voice.
By this point, anyone present who wasn’t a fool could tell that the seemingly ordinary man, Chu Lingtian, was by no means as simple as he appeared. Otherwise, why would Wang Haiyang, a high-ranking police chief, be so respectful and obedient to him?
Upon hearing Wei Song’s question, Xiao Lengyue also pricked up her ears.
This fiery female police officer with a voluptuous figure had also been investigating Chu Lingtian’s true identity for the past few days.
Because not only Director Wang Haiyang, but even her father, Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dachang City Military Region, had become respectful and courteous towards Chu Lingtian, a mere security guard, after a private conversation with him.
So, who exactly was Chu Lingtian? This was the biggest question in Xiao Lengyue’s mind and the thing she most wanted to know.
Wang Haiyang replied to Wei Song, “Young Master Wei, I know your father is formidable, and I know your Wei family has unfathomable power. But I advise you not to provoke Chu Lingtian. It’s probably best to let this matter end here.”
“Heh heh, Director Wang, you might be afraid of this Chu fellow, but I’m not. With our Wei family’s strength, we can treat him like an ant on the ground and crush him with a single foot. I just didn’t expect that you, a dignified police chief and a prominent figure in Dachang City, would be afraid of such an ignorant fool. You even went so far as to publicly humiliate your own son for this Chu fellow. It’s truly disgraceful.”
Wei Song sneered sarcastically. He didn’t take Chu Lingtian seriously, nor did he take Wang Haiyang seriously.
Wang Haiyang frowned. Even though his own power was no match for Wei Song’s father, and the Wang family’s influence was inferior to the Wei family’s, in terms of personal standing, he was still stronger than Wei Song and was Wei Song’s elder. To be publicly mocked and humiliated like this was almost unbearable.
“Wei Song, don’t think that just because your father is the mayor and your Wei family is immensely powerful, you can look down on everyone. Perhaps this Mr. Chu is someone even your father can’t afford to offend.”
Wang Haiyang said to Wei Song with a cold gaze.
“Is that so? Tonight, I, Wei Zixiong, would like to see what this Mr. Chu, whom even the mayor of Dachang City can’t afford to offend, looks like. Does he have three heads and six arms?”
A scornful voice, laced with disdain, echoed from outside the bar entrance.
Immediately afterward, Wei Zixiong, the mayor of Dachang City and Wei Song’s father, entered the bar with a powerful aura and an air of superiority.
