The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 157: What Do You Mean by This?

Zhu Maode invited Ye Chenfeng and the others into the Police Chief’s office. As for the squadron leader Du Jin, of course, he wasn’t qualified to enter. Watching the door of the Chief’s office slowly close, Du Jin’s heart turned utterly cold. He had just managed to secure the position of squadron leader, was he really going to be relieved of his duties just like that?

At that thought, his heart felt suffocatingly stuffy, and he couldn’t help but remember that the entire incident was caused by the Lis. It originally had nothing to do with him, yet he’d jumped into the fire pit himself. It was truly his bad luck haunting him, and he couldn’t help but curse in his heart, "Those brainless fools of the Lis, don’t they investigate people before they mess with them? They actually provoked the Chief’s good friend? How are they going to clean up this mess?"

In fact, Du Jin had wrongly blamed the Lis. They dared to set their sights on Fast Beauty because they were certain of two things: first, that Ye Chenfeng was a friend of a monkey, who was nothing more than a discarded piece driven out of the Wangs. Could his friend be a powerful and influential young master? Second, with a money-printing pharmaceutical formula like Fast Beauty, if it truly belonged to a family with a background, would they let other pharmaceutical factories produce it? They would definitely manage it themselves.

Considering these two points, that’s why the Lis believed that the owner of Fast Beauty was not someone to be feared at all and that with their family’s capabilities, they could handle them at the very least. Otherwise, why would they recklessly tamper with Fast Beauty?

...

Inside the Chief’s office, besides the desk and chair, there was a leather sofa placed against the wall with a wooden coffee table in front of it.

After inviting Ye Chenfeng and the others to take a seat, Zhu Maode personally brewed them a cup of tea, continuously saying, "Brother Ye, coming to your brother’s place, I don’t have much to offer to make you feel welcome, just make do please!"

"Since the four of you are Brother Ye’s friends, you are also my friends, Zhu Maode. Don’t be polite with me when you’re here, and feel free to come to me if you ever face any trouble." Zhu Maode didn’t put on any airs of being the Chief in front of Brother Hu and the other two; instead, he acted more like a good-natured middle-aged waiter. He could see how close they were with Ye Chenfeng, and if he wanted to build a connection with Ye Chenfeng, he had to start from all aspects. After so many years in office, he was not idling his days away.

Brother Hu, Tie Niu, Li Pangzi, including monkey, when had they ever received such courtesy from a Chief, even personally pouring tea for them? They were all a bit restrained, and quickly greeted Zhu Maode warmly.

This time Brother Hu truly recognized how right he was to have left the border trade market with Mister Ye; even the Chief of the police station was so polite to Mister Ye, serving tea and water, indirectly causing them to bask in the reflected glory. The exhilaration in their hearts was beyond words.

Though Brother Hu might have had a small influence in the border trade market, once he stepped out, he was insignificant. However, Mister Ye, no matter where he went, always carried himself with such an imposing presence, which made him more determined to follow Mister Ye for the rest of his life, hoping that Mister Ye would genuinely acknowledge his existence.

Li Pangzi’s chubby cheeks trembled with excitement. Even in the presence of the Police Chief, his own grandfather had to greet the other party respectfully, but now here he was, enjoying tea personally brewed by the Chief? He felt like he was in heaven, and the awful feeling that had been in his heart was now cast into the clouds.

As for monkey and Tie Niu, besides being constrained, they displayed no other reactions. After all, monkey knew his boss was the legitimate grandson of the Ye family from Capital City, and even much higher-ranking officials would have to bow and scrape in front of his boss, so what was a mere division Chief from Tianhai?

And Tie Niu, having grown up in Xiyuan Town, was a genuine and honest person. Naturally, he didn’t think too much about anything else. When he left Xiyuan Town, his father Wang Youli had repeatedly admonished him—once he got to Tianhai, he must listen to Ye Chenfeng. Tie Niu, being straightforward, revered Ye Chenfeng who had helped him time and again. In his simple mind, he believed there was nothing in the world that his benefactor couldn’t do.

After taking a sip of the tea, Ye Chenfeng roughly explained the situation to Zhu Maode, nothing more than the Lis being greedy and wanting to get their hands on his Fast Beauty Prescription.

While Ye Chenfeng spoke with Zhu Maode, Li Pangzi did not interject a single word. He was completely disillusioned with the Lis; the only thing he felt reluctant to part with was his parents. As for his so-called grandfather, uncles, and others, to hell with them all! freёnovelkiss-com

After Zhu Maode understood the situation, his face grew unsightly, and he smacked the table, exclaiming, "Are those people from the Li family so blinded by money? They actually dared to target Brother Ye? It seems they won’t see sense until they’re in the coffin."

"Brother Zhu, don’t get worked up. Besides the Lis, your precinct captain seems to be very dedicated as well!" Ye Chenfeng said with a smile as he looked at Zhu Maode, the irony in his words couldn’t have been clearer.

Like receiving criticism from a superior, Zhu Maode nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Lin, you are right! After this matter is dealt with, I will make sure to straighten out the atmosphere in the station."

It was remarkable to see Zhu Maode, the head of a district police station, nodding and bowing to a young man. If Division Captain Du Jin had witnessed this scene, his legs would have turned to jelly. He had only ever thought of Ye Chenfeng as a friend of his chief at best.

...

Outside the chief’s office, Du Jin paced nervously, his mind as messy as a pot of porridge. Unable to think of a way to remedy the situation, he hurriedly made his way out of the police station, realizing that the Lis were still on their way there. He couldn’t afford to let them cause any more trouble.

As Du Jin reached the outside of the police station and was about to call Li Tangming, the Lis’ business van slowly pulled up at the entrance to the station.

Li Tangming was the first to get out of the van, followed by the families of Li Shouchun and Li Shouxia. Li Shouqiu and Fang Qin, both pale, were the last to exit. Fang Qin clutched at Li Shouqiu’s sleeve and asked, "Are you really going to watch while our son is driven out of the Li family? If Xiaoyuan is truly expelled, I won’t stay in the Li family either."

"Li Shouqiu, tell me, what have I been with you all these years for? With your minor status in the Li family, my status is no different from that of a nanny. I want to ask you one last question, Li Shouqiu, are you even a man?" Fang Qin unleashed all the grievances she had endured over the years.

The Lis, seeing Du Jin at the entrance to the police station, thought he was waiting for them. Li Hai and Li Tao, who had been beaten black and blue, could no longer hold back. Being hot-headed youths, they were impatient for revenge.

The two rushed up to Du Jin and asked, "Uncle Du, are they locked in the interrogation room? Can we go teach them a lesson now? Can you provide us with a couple of batons?"

Usually, Du Jin had a good relationship with the Lis, so Li Hai and Li Tao didn’t beat around the bush with him. Perhaps due to their urgency, they failed to notice the grim expression on Du Jin’s face.

Walking behind, Li Tangming, Li Shouchun, and Li Shouxia didn’t call out to Li Hai and Li Tao. They also thought there was no need to be so formal in front of Du Jin, since they had been giving him generous gifts every year; they considered Du Jin to be almost family.

Inside, Du Jin was frantic! Seeing how these two young Lis were still so cheerful and oblivious, he was so worked up that he could barely breathe. In a fit of anger, he drew his baton and without a word, began to strike Li Hai and Li Tao while cursing, "Damn it, I’m here frantic with worry, and you’re enjoying yourselves?"

The Lis walking behind saw Du Jin beating Li Hai and Li Tao as if he’d lost his mind and quickly hastened their steps. Li Tangming’s face clouded over as he shouted, "Du Jin, what the hell are you doing?"

Seeing Li Tangming, Du Jin finally put away his baton and said indignantly, "What the hell am I doing, what’s it to you?" Du Jin knew the best thing now was to distance himself from the Lis.

"Division Chief Du, what do you mean by that? Do I need to go see Chief Zhu in person?" Li Tangming’s face was grim. Not only had he taken care of Du Jin, he also sent gifts to Zhu Maode every year and was able to speak with him; seeing Du Jin beating his grandsons as if possessed, how could he show a pleasant face?
