Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 132: Give the Phone to Zhou Yang

"There’s nothing we can do; it was Liu Nan who reported the incident..." Wei Dong was also frustrated. Don’t take it out on us small-timers. If you’ve got the guts, go take care of Young Master Liu yourself. Why vent your anger on us minions!

Liu Nan, it’s always thi Liu Nan!

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Yang felt a surge of anger. Ever since he became the Deputy Director of the Tianhai City Bureau, he’d encountered trouble caused by Liu Nan several times. Bullying men and harassing women were practically a daily occurrence, and it was always Liu Nan’s father, Liu Jilong, who’d smooth things over. The whole Tianhai had even coined a nickname for this spoiled brat, ’Pest Liu,’ showing just how notorious Liu Nan was in Tianhai.

But the guy had a powerful dad, Liu Jilong, the Chief of the Tianhai City Police Department. No one in Tianhai could touch him!

At this moment, Liu Nan hurried to the emergency department of the military hospital.

"Well, well, Deputy Director Zhou, what brings you to the hospital?" Liu Nan swaggered in with his bandaged head, walking with a spread-eagle stride. Upon entering, he indeed saw Zhou Yang. What’s Zhou Yang to meddle with my affairs? However, inside he was puzzled: who was this young man blocking the door that Jia Ping mentioned, someone who could summon Zhou Yang with just a phone call? That’s not a simple connection. Tianhai hasn’t heard of anyone with such a tight relationship with Zhou Yang!

With the bandage on my head, I’m also a victim. Though the wound isn’t big, who can see it once it’s wrapped up? I need to exaggerate it if I’m going to accuse Lin Dongchen. Even with you, Zhou Yang, showing up, what can you do? With all the evidence and witnesses here, you have no choice but to watch helplessly.

He knew Zhou Yang well enough: no strong background, just a transferred official. Considering his family’s influence, this kind of Deputy Director was merely something they could manipulate at will!

"Liu Nan, can we stop here with this matter today?" When Zhou Yang saw Liu Nan arrive, he felt a terrible headache coming on. The Liu Family was entrenched in Tianhai City. As an outsider and a parachuted Deputy Director, he knew his words held less weight than the locals, let alone against Liu Jilong who had more powerful backers. And Zhou Yang only had himself, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!

Although Liu Nan was insufferably arrogant and deserved a good thrashing, there was currently no way to handle him, which was both infuriating and maddening!

"Liu Nan, you’ve beaten my dad to a pulp, and you still dare to show up here! Return my dad’s eyesight!" Lin Jie, upon seeing Liu Nan at the hospital and remembering her father’s injured eyes, was heartbroken and wanted to confront Liu Nan immediately.

But before she could get close, Jia Ping and Wei Dong quickly shielded Liu Nan, not letting Lin Jie get near him.

Lin Feng also quickly pulled Lin Jie back. In an unclear situation, it was better to stay calm to avoid further issues. Besides, with Zhou Yang stepping in, things should be handled properly.

"Deputy Director Zhou, you see, I’m the victim here. And I have the video of him hitting me, so I am the plaintiff now. Therefore, today’s matter isn’t over," Liu Nan didn’t intend to give Zhou Yang any face at all. His aim was to let others know that Zhou Yang couldn’t solve the problem. Perhaps he could push Lin Jie to keep him company for a few days—that would be more like it. Once my anger’s cooled, then we can talk everything else through.

Thinking this, he eyed Lin Jie with a greedy look, the more he looked, the more he liked her, the more he thought about getting his hands on her.

"Is it really impossible to end it here?" Hearing Liu Nan’s words, Zhou Yang’s expression turned immediately very grim. After all, I am the Executive Deputy Director of the police bureau. You, Liu Nan, although the son of the bureau chief, might be used to throwing your weight around in Tianhai, but you’re in a public place like a hospital and you’re still disrespecting me, making me lose face. Are you intentionally trying to embarrass me, waiting for things to escalate until everyone’s dignity is torn to shreds?

"I’m the injured party; how could I possibly leave without catching Lin Dongchen?" Liu Nan glared at Zhou Yang while pointing at his bandaged head, inwardly despising him. It’s been so long, yet you still don’t understand what happened. No wonder you’re still just a Deputy Director. Seeing me here, you don’t support me and now you’re siding with those people. What are you thinking?

Who exactly is this young man to Zhou Yang, that he would risk falling out with me? Moreover, earlier it seemed just one phone call brought Zhou Yang running. This warrants serious thought. Zhou Yang has a reputation in Tianhai as an upright official that no one can get close to, and yet, for this young man, he’s acting so out of character; too abnormal to overlook. I have never heard of such a person among Tianhai’s famous young masters. Who could he possibly be?

"The person inside is still not out of danger. As long as I am here, no one can enter the emergency room. Otherwise, what if something happens and who would take the responsibility?" Zhou Yang saw that Liu Nan insisted on taking Lin Dongchen away and blocked him without hesitation. In such a situation, Lin Dongchen really couldn’t be moved, for if anything went wrong and Lin Feng got angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With Liu Nan here, things would be troublesome. What was needed now was to understand the specifics from Lin Feng and others. Thinking this, Zhou Yang walked back to the entrance of the emergency room, where Lin Feng was, planning to have a good talk with them and understand the situation.

Seeing Zhou Yang so adamantly blocking the door and not letting Lin Dongchen be taken away, Liu Nan was livid with anger. What on earth was wrong with Zhou Yang today? Why was he helping Lin Dongchen? Forget it, it doesn’t matter who is involved. As long as my dad arranges for Zhou Yang’s transfer, won’t the rest be easy to handle? With that thought, he picked up his phone and dialed his father Liu Jilong’s number.

"Dad, I’m at the hospital now."

"Ah! Son, why did you go to the hospital, what happened?" Liu Jilong, hearing his son was at the hospital, panicked. His precious son was the only child of three generations - nothing could happen to him. Although there were minor issues sometimes, they were trivial and easily smoothed over with a few connections. But why had his son suddenly gone to the hospital? What happened?

"I’m not seriously hurt, but the person who hit me is here in the hospital. I’ve already charged him with intentional injury. I was going to take him back to the police station, but I was blocked by Zhou Yang and a young man, and I didn’t even get to see the man! I even have the surveillance video as evidence. Dad, you have to back me up!" Liu Nan sounded very aggrieved on the phone, knowing his dad would definitely help after hearing him like this. As long as he could get Zhou Yang out of the way, he could leave the rest to Jia Ping and Wei Dong.

"Give the phone to Zhou Yang!" Hearing that Zhou Yang was actually protecting the person who hit his son, Liu Jilong immediately got furious. What was Zhou Yang thinking, offending the Liu family for an outsider? Were you too comfortable in your position as Deputy Director? Do you not realize that’s my son, Liu Jilong’s son!

"Here, my dad wants to talk to you!" Liu Nan looked at Zhou Yang with a schadenfreude expression. He knew his father’s temper too well and was sure he would scold Zhou Yang. You think you’re so mighty, Zhou Yang? Just now you wanted to resolve this matter as if it’s over? Who do you think you are? Do you think I’d give you the face?

In order to get Lin Jie, I’ve planned for a long time, and finally, I had today’s opportunity. Now, with your intervention, aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for me? How about now? Do you realize who has stronger backing? Even you as the Deputy Director must listen to my dad!

"Zhou, this kind of issue doesn’t seem like it’s something for a Chief to handle, right? Liu Nan was beaten, he followed the proper procedure to report the crime, and there is clear surveillance video evidence. Although we are leaders, we should not obstruct normal case work..." Liu Jilong lectured Zhou Yang over the phone, annoyed that he was delaying his beloved son from catching the assailant. What kind of person do you think you are!

As a Deputy Director, you should know your place. Running around aimlessly, meddling in everything! My son is out to catch the person who hit him, what has that got to do with you? And now you and a young man are blocking the door, not letting the arrest happen. Aren’t you blatantly opposing me? Liu Jilong grew angrier the more he thought about it, wondering why Zhou Yang would suddenly do this for a young man. What got into him today?

"Could you possibly consider today’s incident to be..." Hearing Liu Jilong’s words on the phone, Zhou Yang of course understood what Liu Jilong meant. This was clearly about getting him transferred. If he really left, there would be no one to control these two policemen, and all his previous efforts would be for naught. With this in mind, he still wanted to make a final effort to resolve the issue peacefully.

"Director Zhou, the department is about to have a very important meeting, and you need to come back immediately!" Hearing Zhou Yang wanting to be a mediator and settle the matter, Liu Jilong’s face turned green with anger. How could it be over just like that when my son was hit? You still want to talk peace? If your own son was beaten, would you agree to talk peace? Do you, Zhou Yang, not know your status? Didn’t you hear clearly what was just said? Why are you still there? Are you intending to oppose my son?

The more he thought, the angrier Liu Jilong became; without waiting for Zhou Yang to respond, he hung up the phone!

Zhou Yang listened to the busy tone on the phone, nearly threw Liu Nan’s phone to the ground, and then handed it back to Liu Nan with a dark face as he walked towards Lin Feng.

Liu Jilong has been pressing down on him for a long time. Not to mention the recent cases, like the Huang Niu case and the human trafficking case, which shocked the nation - all the credit was snatched by Liu Jilong, and he was said to be getting a promotion for these two cases.

The more Zhou Yang thought about it, the more resentful he became. Liu Jilong had no real talent; he had reached his position as a chief simply through his family’s influence, using the accomplishments of others as his stepping stones for promotion. Why should he have it so easy while others like himself had to endure injustice!
