The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 186: Is Apology Useful?

"Du Jin, since you insist on siding with this kid, let’s see whose police uniform will be stripped off in the end!"

Hua Dong tore off the mask of civility, knowing that he had no choice but to go head-to-head with Du Jin now. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Zhu Maode’s number.

After the call connected, Hua Dong hurriedly said, "Director Zhu, there was a stabbing at Zijin Shopping Mall. I was going to catch the criminal, but Captain Du inexplicably came out to stop me and even slapped me! What do you think should be done about this?"

Zhu Maode had been resting with his eyes closed in the office! Upon answering the call, he was suddenly confronted with Hua Dong’s complaint and cursed inwardly, "What the hell is Du Jin trying to pull? He just caused trouble with Ye Chenfeng not long ago. Why is he always making a mess for me? I think it’s time for him to stop being the captain."

Considering the face of his mistress, Zhu Maode still felt obliged to give Hua Dong some respect and said, "Hua Dong, let that bastard Du Jin take the call."

Hearing Zhu Maode’s unpleasant tone over the phone, Hua Dong triumphantly said to Du Jin, "Captain Du, our Director Zhu wants you on the phone."

Hearing that Hua Dong had even dragged the director into this, the kneeling Jiuge and the five security guards felt even more reassured.

If even the head of the police department was on Hua Dong’s side, what did Du Jin count for as a mere captain?

There wasn’t a trace of panic on Du Jin’s face. Hua Dong actually called Zhu Maode—isn’t this asking for trouble? After taking the phone from Hua Dong, Du Jin respectfully handed it to Ye Chenfeng.

"Du Jin, what are you trying to do? Director Zhu wants you to answer the call. Are you saying you won’t even listen to the orders of Director Zhu?" Hua Dong roared with all his might as if trying to reclaim the dignity he had just lost.

Du Jin completely ignored Hua Dong and simply stood reverently beside Ye Chenfeng.

Seeing that Du Jin treated him as if he were thin air, Hua Dong’s rage surged ever higher. Just as he was about to lash out, Ye Chenfeng pressed the speakerphone button and then mockingly said, "Big Brother Zhu, the police under you are getting out of hand. How can you assure the public like this?"

Zhu Maode, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback by Ye Chenfeng’s voice for two or three seconds before he said in a gentle tone, "Little Brother Ye, it’s you! I thought it was someone else! I’ve been a bit busy these days! Don’t worry, I will definitely find time to discipline my officers."

Zhu Maode now knew why Du Jin had slapped Hua Dong without distinction—it must be that Hua Dong, with his lack of foresight, had provoked Ye Chenfeng.

"That’s an internal matter for your police department, and I have no interest in getting involved. It seems I’ll have to visit the police station again today. You’d better treat me well then, Big Brother Zhu!"

Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s voice grow cold, Zhu Maode quickly said, "Little Brother Ye, what are you talking about? Even if I wanted to treat you, I wouldn’t invite you to the police station! Rest assured, I will definitely explain today’s incident to you."

Ye Chenfeng had connections with the city’s Secretary of the Communist Party Committee—Zhu Maode didn’t want to offend Ye Chenfeng. On the contrary, he was looking for ways to get closer to Ye Chenfeng!

But these damn officers of his were all like pig brains. Who should they not mess with? They had to go and provoke Ye Chenfeng. What if Hua Dong’s sister was Zhu Maode’s mistress? His stance was undeniably firm on Ye Chenfeng’s side.

Since Ye Chenfeng had pressed the speakerphone button, everyone around could hear the conversation between him and Zhu Maode loud and clear.

Hua Dong’s composure vanished, his face turned deathly pale. From the conversation, it was clear that Zhu Maode had a good relationship with the young man before him, and he was even deliberately trying to please him!

The faces of the five security guards and Jiuge turned even uglier than Hua Dong’s. Now they realized that Ye Chenfeng had been playing possum all along. If he’d just said he knew the head of the police department earlier, wouldn’t this all have been avoided? They felt they were being toyed with on purpose! Had they known Ye Chenfeng’s identity, they certainly wouldn’t have gone head-to-head with him.

However, they didn’t pause to think that even if Ye Chenfeng had just said he knew the Police Chief, it’s doubtful many here would believe him. On the contrary, they’d probably mock him even more!

"Chief Zhu, please, for the sake of my sister, you have to help me!" Hua Dong roared into the phone that Ye Chenfeng was holding.

"Hua Dong, from now on you are no longer a police officer of the Southern District Sub-bureau. You’d better behave yourself!" Zhu Maode’s voice came coldly over the phone, and then he spoke with a hint of regret, "Brother Ye, my subordinates have troubled you time and again. I really am sorry! In a few days, I must invite you to dinner to apologize in person. You must not refuse, Brother Ye!"

Ye Chenfeng could tell that this Deputy Chief Hua must have some connection to Zhu Maode, otherwise Hua Dong wouldn’t have called Zhu Maode directly. Zhu Maode indeed showed a lot of respect to Ye Chenfeng. Naturally, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t keep a cold face either and softened his tone, "I’ll definitely attend a dinner hosted by Brother Zhu."

"That’s great, that’s great. I’ll leave the rest of the matter to Du Jin to handle fully. Brother Ye, if you have any requests, just tell Du Jin directly. I’ll hang up now."

"Doo-doo-doo—"

Listening to the cold busy tone on the phone, Hua Dong felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he collapsed to the ground.

He had thought that with his sister being favored by the Chief, his career would surely become much smoother. Who would have expected that just one day after being transferred to the Southern District Sub-bureau, his uniform would be stripped away?

Thinking back to how many people had come to congratulate him yesterday, even flattering him, and now suddenly he had lost everything. It was like falling straight from heaven into Hell!

"Mr. Ye, do you have any more orders?" Du Jin had no sympathy for Hua Dong. He had already warned Hua Dong, who nonetheless persisted in his delusion of grandeur, thinking himself untouchable.

Surprised, aren’t you?

Dumbfounded, aren’t you?

Too late, isn’t it?

Ye Chenfeng patted Du Jin on the shoulder and said, "It’s good that you’ve learned from your last mistake. Do well in the Southern District police bureau from now on and strive to be a good cop. Perhaps when Chief Zhu moves up the ladder, you might take his place as the Chief of the Southern District police bureau. Work hard for it!"

Feeling the palm of Ye Chenfeng’s hand on his shoulder and listening to his words, Du Jin was so excited he almost peed himself. After seeing Zhu Maode’s attitude towards Ye Chenfeng the last time, he had guessed that Ye Chenfeng’s background was extraordinary.

Ye Chenfeng’s words clearly indicated his intention to promote Du Jin. It was no wonder he was excited! He had never even dreamed of becoming the Chief himself, and the excitement made him tremble as he said, "Mr. Ye, thank you! Thank you! I will surely be a good police officer in the future and will never let you down. If you ever see me doing anything that disgraces this profession, I will strip off my uniform myself, without waiting for you to speak."

"Good that you understand. Just do your job well from now on! And take all these people back to the police station for a proper lesson on how to be decent humans." Ye Chenfeng pointed at the Deputy Chief Hua, the five security guards, and Jiu Ge, among others.

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye, I’ll take care of everything!" Du Jin said with fervor.

"Don’t waste your breath apologizing to me. I believe I’ve made myself clear just now? If apologies worked, then what would we need the police for?" Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and walked towards Tang Xin and Han Chuxue.

Sitting slumped on the ground, Hua Dong had indeed wanted to beg for Ye Chenfeng’s forgiveness like a groveling dog! However, Ye Chenfeng’s words undoubtedly cast him into an abyss, his face ashen, as a puddle of yellow liquid involuntarily seeped under his crotch.

This time, not a sound came from the surrounding crowd. It turned out that Ye Chenfeng was not only skilled in martial arts beyond reproach, but even the Police Chief had to give him face. In an instant, they linked Ye Chenfeng’s name with the offspring of the rich and powerful. (To be continued.
