Chapter 71 - 70: You Call the Police, I Call the Police

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: You Call the Police, I Call the Police ... "This..." Manager Wang found himself caught in a dilemma. He had no choice but to speak honestly: "Young Master Ma, I didn’t expect such a situation to occur... This gentleman... He’s an esteemed guest of our Mr. Li. This matter... it’s truly beyond my ability to handle..." "Mr. Li’s esteemed guest? This rabid dog is actually Mr. Li’s esteemed guest?" Ma Boyao was taken aback, then started cursing Li Desheng as well, "I think your Mr. Li is really living in reverse, treating this kind of trash as an esteemed guest. Completely ridiculous!" "Uh..." Manager Wang heard Ma Boyao start cursing Li Desheng and immediately looked awkward, unsure of what to do. The Li family and the Ma family were both among the top ten families in Jiangnan, with power and status nearly equal. Ma Boyao was enraged at this moment, so cursing out Li Desheng was not something a small manager from Desheng Restaurant could stop him from doing. Tang Wenjun, sensing the tense atmosphere, quietly suggested, "Why not let the Patrol Office step in to handle this?" "Fine! Since Desheng Restaurant can’t manage this rabid dog, don’t blame me for playing hardball!" Ma Boyao finished speaking and pulled out his phone, dialing the Chief Constable of Baofeng District, Zhang Zhixue. "You four-eyed field frog, can’t beat me so now you’re calling the cops?" Yan Xiaobao saw this and pulled out his own phone too, "I’ll call the cops too! Let’s see who’s afraid of whom!" Yan Xiaobao made his call, but not to Zhang Zhixue. Instead, he dialed Han Ruobing. "Hello? Bingbing, sweetheart, I’m having dinner at Desheng Restaurant. There’s a four-eyed field frog here who actually dared to make a move on my Xiao Wan, sweetheart. So I taught him a little lesson. Now, he’s not backing down and even called the cops to arrest me. Hurry over and help me deal with him!" Han Ruobing didn’t say a word before hanging up the phone, veins practically visible on her forehead, as she left her office and headed toward Desheng Restaurant. She knew Desheng Restaurant was one of the most upscale establishments in Binhai, frequented by many powerful and well-connected individuals. She had no idea who Yan Xiaobao had tangled with this time, so she had to go there immediately to prevent him from escalating the situation. Just as she walked into the Patrol Office parking lot, Han Ruobing ran into an equally hurried Zhang Zhixue. "Chief Zhang, where are you rushing off to?" "Desheng Restaurant," Zhang Zhixue replied with a pained expression. "Young Master Ma of the Ma family, Ma Boyao, has been assaulted." "What?" Han Ruobing was taken aback and quickly said, "Yan Xiaobao just called me, saying he was having dinner at Desheng Restaurant and assaulted someone..." Zhang Zhixue staggered and almost fell, "I’m losing it... Is Yan Xiaobao some sort of cursed comet? This morning, he assaulted Deputy Captain Liu, causing chaos at Chow Tai Fook. Now, in the time it took to eat a meal, he’s managed to attack Young Master Ma. This is big trouble." "Chief Zhang, get in the car! Let’s hurry over and take control of the situation first." "Alright!" Zhang Zhixue got into Han Ruobing’s car, and they discussed as they sped toward Desheng Restaurant. "Assaulting Zhao Erhu and his gang of punks, snatching Shi Jianzhong’s gun, causing a commotion at the Patrol Office—these are incidents within my jurisdiction, and I can still handle them. But that Young Master Ma is not someone you mess with easily..." Zhang Zhixue rubbed his temples in frustration, "The Ma family is influential and powerful; they definitely won’t let this slide. If I insist on protecting Yan Xiaobao, Young Master Ma will likely escalate matters to higher-ups, and then..." "If you can’t shield him, then don’t." Han Ruobing said firmly, "Act in the interest of justice and handle this case according to protocol. That guy... The more he’s protected, the more reckless he becomes!" "I’m caught in the middle here..." Zhang Zhixue laughed bitterly, "The last time, on the flight, Yan Xiaobao saved my grandfather’s life. I can’t possibly be ruthless toward him. My grandfather even insists Yan Xiaobao is some kind of medical prodigy and almost included him in the special expert team. If I don’t step in to help him this time, my grandfather won’t let me off the hook." "This..." Han Ruobing hesitated, "Then in that case, Chief Zhang, let me handle this. I’ll take responsibility." Zhang Zhixue gave Han Ruobing an approving glance. Subordinates like her who were willing to take the heat were truly rare. "Forget it, Young Master Ma called me directly. If I don’t show my face, that would be inappropriate." Zhang Zhixue sighed, "Let’s check the situation first. Hopefully, Yan Xiaobao didn’t injure Young Master Ma too badly." ... When Zhang Zhixue and Han Ruobing arrived at the private dining room on the third floor of Desheng Restaurant, they found Yan Xiaobao and Ma Boyao still staring daggers at one another. ƒгeewebnovёl_com The moment Yan Xiaobao saw Han Ruobing, he shouted with delight, "Bingbing, sweetheart, you finally made it! This four-eyed field frog is trying to steal my wife! Arrest him now!" Han Ruobing ignored Yan Xiaobao and glanced at Xia Rou beside him and at Ma Boyao, who looked thoroughly unlucky. She speculated to herself: Could it be that Ma Boyao tried to harass Xia Rou and angered Yan Xiaobao? Ma Boyao, pointing to his heavily bruised face, snorted coldly at Zhang Zhixue, "Chief Zhang, I’ve been beaten up like this by this little thug. Do I even need to say what you should do?" "This..." Zhang Zhixue pondered for a moment, reluctantly saying, "Let’s understand what happened first and come to a conclusion afterward." "Understand what?!" Ma Boyao exploded angrily. "The four of us were eating here when this lunatic kicked the door open and started beating me and Su Jinpeng. We don’t know him and didn’t provoke him, but he just stormed in and attacked us. He’s obviously a psycho!" Su Jinpeng and the others also chimed in, confirming Ma Boyao’s account. Zhang Zhixue secretly groaned. Based on this situation, Yan Xiaobao had assaulted both Young Master Ma from the Ma family and Second Young Master Su from the Su family, with the other two young masters from the Su and Tang families as witnesses. There was no avoiding a charge of intentional assault for Yan Xiaobao. However, directly arresting Yan Xiaobao now would surely lead to his grandfather blaming him later. And, if Yan Xiaobao violently resisted arrest... Getting beaten himself would be minor; the legal trouble for Yan Xiaobao would be much more severe... As he hesitated, Han Ruobing snapped at Yan Xiaobao, "What is wrong with you? They were just eating; what did they do to you to deserve this? Was it really necessary to attack them?" "I’m not a psycho. Of course I wouldn’t just attack people for no reason!" Yan Xiaobao defended himself passionately, "This four-eyed field frog said he wants to steal my Xiao Wan and make her his wife, and declared that anyone who gets in his way is his mortal enemy. Since he sees me as his mortal enemy, of course I had to teach him a lesson!" "What kind of nonsense is this!" Han Ruobing rubbed her temple in exasperation, "Who’s your Xiao Wan, and where is she?" "I am his Xiao Wan," a melodious and breathtakingly beautiful voice sounded from the door. Everyone turned their heads instinctively, and, all at once, their gazes brightened. ...
