Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Big Shot ArrivesHe paused, then Fang Bai continued, "The three of us came to see Director Liu because we wanted to ask him why the officer interrogating us was beating people. Unexpectly, as soon as Director Liu saw us, he drew his gun... Luckily, his shot went astray, or I might already be dead! And I want to ask, why did Director Liu have to draw his gun on me, an innocent civilian?" Liu Yang was desperate to defend himself but couldn’t speak, and his eyes were red with anxiety. Fang Qun pointed at Fang Bai and shouted angrily, "What innocent civilian? You injured my son and deserve to die, innocent my ass!" Wang Bin and the other officers looked at Fang Qun with a hint of something strange in their eyes. Fang Bai chuckled coldly, "I see now, no wonder you kept making eye contact with Director Liu just now, signaling him to draw his gun at me. It was all because of your son’s issue, a case of mixing public and private interests! Your tactic of using someone else to do your dirty work is quite clever!" "You... you’re spouting nonsense!" Fang Qun knew he had misspoken, and with a guilty conscience, his voice lacked its usual confidence. Wang Bin had already guessed what had happened earlier and looked at Fang Qun with a mixture of disgust and contempt. But no matter what, Fang Bai’s assault on the police was a severe issue; it was very serious and he might really end up spending a long time in jail. Wang Bin was about to join his colleagues in arresting Fang Bai and the other two men when he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps. A group of people in white shirts briskly walked in. The man at the front was in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He had a straight figure and exuded an undeniable air of authority. The group following the square-faced man all moved with confidence and seriousness, giving off an aura of effortless command - clearly they were influential figures. "Mayor... Mayor Lu?" Seeing the square-faced man, Fang Qun’s mouth fell open in disbelief. Earlier in the year, Fang Qun had represented Fang Temple Town at a meeting in the city. That meeting was chaired by Mayor Lu, whom he recognized at a glance upon his arrival. Rumor had it that Mayor Lu was inspecting the work in the nearby towns. What brought him to this place so suddenly? Seeing Mayor Lu’s stern face with a touch of anger, Fang Qun had an ominous feeling rising within him. The square-faced man was, in fact, Zhongzhou City’s Mayor Lu Xinghe. After receiving the call from Fang Bai, he had arrived at Fang Temple Town Police Station as quickly as he could. Upon entering the police station office and seeing the drawn guns and the tense atmosphere with some officers still holding their guns pointed at three men in the office, Mayor Lu’s heart sank. When he recognized one of those under the gunpoint as Fang Bai, he immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor Fang, are you alright?" Hearing Mayor Lu using such respectful terms as "you" when addressing Fang Bai, and the humble attitude he displayed, everyone in the office nearly dropped their jaws, struggling to believe what they were seeing. Even Xia Chenyu was surprised, her beautiful eyes shining with curiosity as she wondered when Fang Bai had become involved with the city’s mayor. And the mayor seemed to hold him in high respect. "Thankfully, Mayor Lu arrived just in time. Had you been a bit later, I might have been shot by Director Liu!" Although Fang Bai had a smile on his face, the annoyance in his tone was obvious to everyone. After Mayor Lu’s arrival, Wang Bin and the other officers put down their guns. Only Liu Yang still had his gun aimed at Fang Bai’s chest. "Liu Yang, that’s outrageous! Put your gun down!" An official who had come with Lu Xinghe stepped forward and bellowed loudly. This official was Director Qian of the county police station and also Liu Yang’s immediate superior. Today, he was accompanying Mayor Lu on an inspection tour of the county and had followed along when he heard that Mayor Lu was visiting his subordinate police station. Having just heard the conversation between Mayor Lu and Fang Bai, Director Qian knew that their relationship was extraordinary. He couldn’t believe that bastard Liu Yang actually pointed his gun at Fang Bai—this was nothing less than utter contempt and provocation towards the Mayor’s authority. Director Qian was so enraged inside that he wished he could rush over, snatch the gun from Liu Yang’s hand, and shove it into Liu Yang’s mouth. "I fucking wish I could put down the gun! But my hands won’t listen to me!" Liu Yang was in a difficult position and seeing his immediate superior glaring with eyes that seemed to wish they could devour him, he knew his career was over and was silently weeping. "Liu Yang, are you trying to stage a rebellion, huh?" Seeing Liu Yang ignoring his own words, Director Qian was furious, charging forward to personally snatch the gun from his hand. At that moment, Fang Bai flicked his two right-hand fingers lightly, and a sliver of silvery light shot toward Liu Yang. Suddenly, Liu Yang found himself able to move. The first thing Liu Yang did after regaining the ability to move was to quickly throw away the gun in his hand. Just as he threw the gun, Director Qian’s hand was already reaching for it, resulting in him grasping at thin air. Director Qian, having just ordered him to drop the gun and being disobeyed, and now when he tried to take it himself, Liu Yang threw it away—he took this as Liu Yang intentionally mocking him, and could no longer contain the rage in his chest. "Liu Yang, you motherfucking bastard!" Unable to contain his anger, Director Qian raised his hand and fiercely slapped Liu Yang across the face with a loud "smack". Liu Yang spun around on the spot and fell to the ground on his rear. He was stunned for a moment, and then like a madman, he clung to Director Qian’s legs, howling, "Director Qian, this isn’t my fault, it was Chief Fang who made me do it!" "Liu Yang, you’ve gone mad! You were the one who captured him, and you fired the gun. What does that have to do with me?" Seeing Liu Yang implicating him, Fang Qun’s already pale face became even whiter, and cold sweat broke out instantly. Panicked and furious, he pointed at Liu Yang and vehemently retorted, desperate to clear his own name. "What on earth is going on here? I want a clear explanation from you two today!" Watching Liu Yang and Fang Qun go at each other like two mad dogs, Mayor Lu’s face turned ashen. He walked over to the office desk, gesturing for Fang Bai to sit with him, ready to hear a clear account from Liu Yang and Fang Qun. With Fang Bai, the person involved, present, Mayor Lu believed that the two of them would not dare to hide anything.

In the office filled with people, only Fang Bai and Mayor Lu sat while everyone else remained standing. Fang Qun, guilty in his heart, hung his head low and didn’t dare to make a sound, filled with despair. "Mayor Lu, I... I say..." Liu Yang knew he was finished, that his position was definitely unrecoverable. However, his greater worry wasn’t about the position. It was the fact that he and Fang Qun had colluded and committed many misdeeds over the years. If these were to be uncovered, he couldn’t avoid a prison sentence. Hence, Liu Yang was preparing to confess all the wrongdoing Fang Qun had been involved in over the years, hoping to redeem himself and receive a more lenient punishment.
