Chapter 88

"Old Lu, help me teach this pair of scoundrels a lesson! Damn it!" The man said while wiping the blood from his face.

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The man said, "I was a bit drunk just now. I touched her and asked for her phone number. She didn't give it to me, and she even glared at me. When I saw how attractive she was, I grabbed her hand and tried to tease her, but this bitch immediately turned on me, slapped me, and even kicked me down there. The guy also joined in and beat me up like this! Old Lu, you're from the Municipal Bureau. If an old classmate gets beaten like this, it will be a laughingstock."

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu looked troubled and then turned to Fang Tianfeng, saying, "I am the deputy brigade commander of the Public Security Bureau's Public Order Management Brigade. Is what my friend said true?"

Fang Tianfeng glanced at the man and said, "I don't know what happened before, but later he tried to stab my sister with the tip of a key, so I kicked him. I hope you will enforce the law impartially and not be deceived by such a villain."

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu frowned and said, "I am on my break now, but if the victim seeks my help, I can enforce the law by showing my credentials. However, I hope to resolve this in a simpler way. Yu Wei, did you attack this lady later?"

Yu Wei had to say, "I was so angry at the time that I lost control. But they didn't get hurt at all, and I am so badly injured. You have to help me! We've been friends for over ten years!"

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu nodded and said to Fang Tianfeng, "Even though my friend was in the wrong, you weren't hurt, and you hit him too hard. If you pay for his medical expenses, we can call it even."

"He bullied my sister, and I have to pay? Sorry, I don't have that habit. No matter what you say, I acted in self-defense when he was attacking. My sister and I were both defending ourselves! Police officer, are you going to let the people compromise with criminals?"

Yu Wei angrily said, "Old Lu, you've already revealed your identity, and they are looking down on you!"

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu glared at Yu Wei, who immediately shut up and sat on the ground, grumbling.

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu smiled and said, "Most of the people eating here are from the police system. We might meet again someday, so why make things worse? If both sides take a step back, you can give five hundred yuan, and I won't lose face in front of my friends. What do you think?"

Fang Tianfeng looked at Deputy Brigade Commander Lu and said, "If it were up to me, I wouldn't let him off easily. He's lucky to have a reasonable friend like you. But it's up to my sister."

Shen Xin slowly raised her head, looked at Yu Wei with disgust, and then smiled at Fang Tianfeng, saying, "Xiao Feng, let it go. Consider the five hundred yuan as feeding a dog."

"Okay," Fang Tianfeng said, taking out his wallet to get the money.

But Yu Wei suddenly stood up, spat on the ground, and said, "This isn't over! Lu Ming, you bastard! After over ten years of friendship, you take sides! Damn it!" He stormed off.

Deputy Brigade Commander Lu sighed helplessly and said, "Sorry, my friend has a bad temper. He was particularly impulsive in police school and quit after a few months. Forget about the money. Goodbye."

After Lu Ming left, Shen Xin said lazily, "Xiao Feng, don't mind such a person. He won't amount to much. If you offend that Lu, you should be careful."

"Okay, I understand."

"Let's go back."

As they walked to the door, Fang Tianfeng was about to open it when Shen Xin suddenly called out, "I forgot something. Come with me."

"The lights are so bright here. What are you afraid of?" Fang Tianfeng said.

"He said it's not over. What if he comes back to take revenge?"

"Okay, let's go together."

After they finished in the restroom, they returned to the private room.

The group continued chatting, and around nine o'clock, Director Wu said he would go pay, but Mr. Shang said he had already signed the bill when he went out earlier.

Director Wu glanced at Fang Tianfeng, who didn't react, and then smiled at Mr. Shang, saying, "You're in the fire protection equipment business?"

"Yes. Here's my business card," Mr. Shang said, handing it over.

Director Wu took the card and put it away.

The group left the private room, talking as they walked to the parking lot.

Just then, Yu Wei, who had been kicked by Fang Tianfeng, emerged with over ten people armed with sticks.

"Smash it!"

The group of over ten people swung their sticks and started smashing Director Wu's Audi A4, making loud noises. The car alarm went off with a piercing sound.

Everyone, including Fang Tianfeng, was stunned, thinking these people were crazy. The car, though without police lights and with a regular license plate, belonged to the Public Security Bureau's director!

Director Wu quickly stepped back and shouted, "Who are you?"

Yu Wei sneered, "I'm your father!"

Director Wu was furious and shouted, "I am the director of the Changyun District Public Security Bureau, Wu Hao! Stop immediately!"

"Shit! Who are you fooling! Which director doesn't use a police license plate!" Yu Wei was somewhat knowledgeable.

Director Wu was almost driven mad. He had used a police license plate yesterday, but after Fang Tianfeng gave him three hundred yuan, he became cautious and switched to a regular license plate used for out-of-town trips to pick up Fang Tianfeng. However, since Fang Tianfeng and Shen Xin came together, it wasn't used.

The people smashing the car stopped, looking at Director Wu with doubt, as not everyone would dare to claim to be a director.

Deputy Director Qin had already started calling the bureau, asking for immediate backup.

Fang Tianfeng recognized Yu Wei and was about to teach him a lesson, but Shen Xin grabbed her, smiling silently. Fang Tianfeng immediately understood that Shen Xin wanted to take revenge on Yu Wei and make a big deal out of it.

Yu Wei shouted, "What are you waiting for? Smash it! I'll take responsibility! Deputy Brigade Commander Lu of the Municipal Bureau is my old classmate, so don't be afraid!"

Director Wu, trembling with anger, took out his phone and pointed at Yu Wei, saying, "You know Lu Ming? You wait!"

He immediately called Lu Ming.

"Deputy Brigade Commander Lu! What a great show of authority!"

"Director Wu, Director Wu? What's going on?" Lu Ming, who was one level below Director Wu, was even more cautious now, knowing that Director Wu might soon become the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau.

"Someone is using your name to smash my car! You must give me an explanation today!" Director Wu ended the call.

Director Wu was thoroughly enraged and shouted at Yu Wei and the others, "Is there no law in Changyun District? You won't get away today!"

The car being smashed wasn't the issue; the key was that this was Changyun District, his jurisdiction! Being attacked in his own territory in front of everyone, Director Wu had no face left.

At this moment, a window on the third floor of the Jingjiang Hotel suddenly opened, and Lu Ming's angry voice was heard, "Yu Wei, stop!"

Then, Yu Wei's phone rang, and he answered it, trembling.

"Yu Wei! Are you crazy? How dare you smash Director Wu's car! And using my name? I tell you, from now on, we are no longer friends! I don't know you! Shit!" He hung up.

Yu Wei was drenched in sweat. He had known Lu Ming for so many years and had seen him angry, criticizing subordinates, and even furious, but never had he seen Lu Ming swear.

Yu Wei quickly shouted, "Stop! You've smashed the wrong car!"

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Yu Wei forced a smile, saying, "Director Wu, I used to be a police officer. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to smash your car. I made a mistake and recognized the wrong car. I wasn't trying to smash your car; I was trying to smash that pair of scoundrels' car!"

At this moment, Lu Ming was already sprinting out of the hotel, running towards them.

"Where are the scoundrels? Do you think I'm so easy to fool! What's your relationship with Deputy Mayor Wu? Did he instruct you to take revenge on me!" Director Wu stared at Yu Wei.

Lu Ming, hearing this, wanted to kill Yu Wei.

He had invited Song Shijie to dinner because his invitation to Director Wu had been rejected. Then he heard that Song Shijie and Director Wu were close, so he wanted to use his old classmate to build a good relationship with Director Wu. But before the dinner was over, Yu Wei had enraged Director Wu and even linked him to Deputy Mayor Wu, making it impossible to clear his name.

Lu Ming couldn't help but shout, "Kneel down! Do you think I won't shoot you!"

Yu Wei clearly understood the consequences of offending Director Wu. He immediately knelt down, pointing at Fang Tianfeng and Shen Xin, and said, "Director Wu, I wasn't trying to smash your car; I was trying to smash their car."

Director Wu followed Yu Wei's finger and, seeing Fang Tianfeng and Shen Xin, flew into a rage and kicked Yu Wei in the chest, sending him tumbling.

"I can give you a chance to repent for smashing my car! But you want to smash Master Fang's car, and I won't be lenient!" Director Wu was even angrier because he needed Fang Tianfeng's help to resolve a disaster tomorrow. If Fang Tianfeng were injured, not only would his promotion be in jeopardy, but He Changxiong would also hold him accountable.

Director Wu opened the car trunk, removed the license plate in front of everyone, and replaced it with his police license plate. Then he took out the police lights from the car and placed them on the roof.

"Woohoo, woohoo..."

The red police lights flashed, and the piercing sound attracted people nearby. The windows of the Jingjiang Hotel opened one by one, and everyone looked over.

"Keep smashing!" Director Wu put his hands on his hips, looking formidable.

Yu Wei was stunned. He knew that if it was just smashing a car without hurting anyone, it wouldn't be a serious crime, and he might only need to pay civil compensation, not go to jail. But Director Wu clearly wanted to create a scene of assaulting a police officer and frame him for obstructing official duties.

Then, the same police sirens were heard from a distance, and police cars came roaring over.

Over ten police officers, armed, controlled the scene, and the leading officer ran over to report to Director Wu.

Director Wu immediately defined the incident: "This is an organized and premeditated crime by a gang with mafia characteristics! Arrest them immediately and conduct a thorough investigation overnight to root out the criminal elements and bring clear skies to Changyun District!"

Yu Wei almost fainted. Relying on his police friend, he had committed many evil deeds and even hid several hunting rifles and homemade pistols at home. He often boasted about it, and his friends and family knew. If the police dug deeper, he would be exposed and could face life imprisonment, ruining his life.

Yu Wei shouted, "Director Wu, I am innocent! Although I have hidden guns, I am not a mafia member!"

This made Director Wu laugh in anger.

"Are you a charity worker if you hide guns and are not a mafia member?"

Numerous police officers pounced like tigers, handcuffed Yu Wei and the others, and loaded them onto police cars.

"You wouldn't die if you didn't do evil," Fang Tianfeng said with a smile.
