Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 141 Yuehai Haitian Restaurant

After getting into the car, Lin Feng dialed Zhou Yang’s number.

"The matter here is settled, I am in the car downstairs," Lin Feng said calmly.

"You’re at the City Bureau?" Zhou Yang was surprised to hear Lin Feng’s words. Wasn’t he supposed to be tampering with the evidence? Why did he come to the City Bureau?

"Yeah, hurry and come down," Lin Feng confirmed once more before hanging up the phone, pondering over the possible complications that might arise when arresting Liu Nan...

...

Zhou Yang returned to the City Bureau and his first order of business was to gather his staunch confidants. Over the years in the Tianhai City Bureau, he had cultivated three of his own people: Wang Yun, Yang Bo, and Zhao Lei.

"Old Wang, come to my office immediately."

"Old Yang, come to my office immediately."

"Old Zhao, come to my office immediately."

The three men found Zhou Yang’s phone calls a bit strange today. Why was he in such a hurry? What had happened to make the usually calm Zhou Yang act this way? Nonetheless, all three did not delay upon receiving Zhou Yang’s calls and rushed to his office right away.

"Chief Zhou, what has happened?" Wang Yun, who was slightly older, voiced his question first. Chief Zhou had been at the Tianhai City Bureau for several years, and they’d never seen him so anxious before.

"Yeah, Chief Zhou, you called us all here. Is there something the matter?" Yang Bo was also very curious. Chief Zhou’s behavior today was too unexpected, a big departure from his usual manner.

"Chief Zhou, just assign the tasks directly. Why all this fanfare?" Zhao Lei looked at Zhou Yang, wondering what could possibly require Chief Zhou to summon these three individuals. It was so out of the ordinary. Usually, matters were dealt with individually, so why gather three people today unless it was something significant?

"I’m planning to move against Liu Jilong’s son, Liu Nan!" Zhou Yang, after ensuring the office door was closed, whispered to his three trusted subordinates. In the entire Tianhai City Bureau, these were the only ones he could trust wholeheartedly.

"What? You... you want to touch Liu Nan? Chief Zhou, jokes shouldn’t be taken this far!" Wang Yun stared at Zhou Yang, his eyes widening in disbelief. He couldn’t believe these words were coming from Zhou Yang’s mouth. How low-key was the usual Chief Zhou, and how could he think of moving against Liu Nan? That was the police chief’s untouchable area, which nobody dared to meddle with. But what had gotten into Chief Zhou today that made him think of touching Liu Nan? This wasn’t the way to joke around, was it?

"Chief Zhou, you want to move against Liu Nan?" Yang Bo was also stunned upon hearing Zhou Yang’s words. What had Chief Zhou taken today to utter such unreliable thoughts? Who was Liu Nan? He was Tianhai’s infamous "Pest Liu", untouchable by anyone. If anyone so much as laid a finger on him, the police chief would come out fighting. And yet, Chief Zhou intended to lay hands on Liu Nan? That was like courting disaster! Chief Zhou must have taken the wrong medicine today; otherwise, he would never spit out such outrageous nonsense. It’s unbelievable that Chief Zhou would consider doing such a thing—it’s no different from seeking death!

"Chief Zhou, don’t scare me..." Upon hearing Zhou Yang’s words, the cigarette Zhao Lei had just lit fell from his mouth. He didn’t know what to say, staring at Zhou Yang with wide eyes, thinking, Chief Zhou, whatever you tell me to do, I’ll get it done immediately. But is Liu Nan someone we can touch? Just because his father is Liu Jilong, we probably can’t move against him, otherwise how can we continue in the police system?

But what did Chief Zhou mean by saying such things, surely he wouldn’t say this just to scare people?

"I’m not joking. I really intend to act against Liu Nan. You don’t need to look at me in such an exaggerated way. I’ll only say this once: Liu Jilong’s days are numbered. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Yang saw the expressions of the three men and knew they couldn’t believe his words. If he hadn’t seen Mayor Leng today, if he hadn’t received Mayor Leng’s support, he wouldn’t dare to speak like this himself.

"What do you mean?"

"..."

"Liu Jilong’s days are numbered?"

All three looked at Zhou Yang with faces filled with shock. What on earth was he talking about? How could it be possible that Liu Jilong’s days were numbered? With such a powerful backing, how could he possibly be deposed!

"I’ll tell you this: After today, Liu Jilong may become part of the past, and we are going to be the spark," Zhou Yang said confidently to his three subordinates. Today’s incident was an exceptional opportunity. If it turned out well, he would be in the clear, especially since he had the support of Mayor Leng and Lin Feng. What was there to fear?

"Chief Zhou, just tell us what to do," Wang Yun said upon seeing Zhou Yang’s confident demeanor. Knowing Zhou Yang as he did, he understood that without a significant chance of success, Zhou Yang wouldn’t take the risk. Feeling without roots in the bureau, he had eventually joined forces with Chief Zhou, having had enough of being squeezed from both sides. If there was such an opportunity, it was worth fighting for. Should they succeed, he too would be able to hold his head high.

"Director Zhou, what do we do?" Yang Bo had also made up his mind to firmly follow Zhou Yang. If Deputy Director Zhou dares, why should I, a mere ordinary police officer, hesitate? Moreover, Director Zhou is always so steady; if he decided to do this today, he must have great confidence. If not now, when should I follow? It’s possible that after today, things will get better for us tomorrow!

"Director Zhou, what exactly should we do?" Zhao Lei looked at Zhou Yang. He knew Zhou Yang the best, and if Director Zhou had decided on something, there was no reason for him not to follow. Moreover, following Director Zhou would surely lead to improvements. More importantly, Director Zhou is an upright man, working under him feels secure! Just because of this, I will follow Director Zhou.

"So, let’s discuss how to do this..." Zhou Yang saw his three staunch supporters gravitating toward him. Time waits for no one, and they started to think about how to deal with Liu Nan right away.

"Director Zhou, I think Liu Nan will do this..."

"Director Zhou, Liu Nan is definitely going to argue with us..."

"Director Zhou, when he calls his father, we can..."

...

The four men began to share their opinions, and finally, they agreed upon a method to arrest Liu Nan. Moreover, they pinpointed Liu Nan’s location through the police department’s internal information system. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for Lin Feng’s message.

...

Joyfully receiving Lin Feng’s call, Zhou Yang was very happy to take his three supporters downstairs, rushing toward Lin Feng’s police car.

"How come you’re here?" Seeing Lin Feng, Zhou Yang couldn’t hold back anymore. He was puzzled as to why Lin Feng was there; wasn’t he supposed to be altering the surveillance footage? How did he end up at Tianhai City Police Bureau?

"I just came out of the Evidence Department, get it?" Lin Feng understood Zhou Yang’s puzzlement and replied succinctly.

"Got it!" Zhou Yang finally understood why Lin Feng was here—the surveillance footage was at the police bureau. But how could Lin Feng have gotten into the Evidence Department? The Evidence Department is the most rigorously guarded section of the bureau, usually inaccessible to anyone outside the police. When he had visited once before, he had been baffled by the triple-locked security door; an electronic code lock, a mechanical combination lock, and a key lock—opening all three seemed virtually impossible due to the unpredictable electronic code lock!

There were also many alarms and surveillance cameras at the Evidence Department, covering virtually all blind spots. Under such conditions, Lin Feng still managed to alter evidence without detection, which was utterly astonishing!

Zhou Yang looked at Lin Feng and was utterly speechless; if Lin Feng could easily get in and out of such a tightly secured place like the Evidence Department, then what place in the future could stop him?

"Where is Liu Nan now?" With the operation about to commence, Lin Feng felt Zhou Yang should have thought to check Liu Nan’s location.

"Yuehai Haitian Restaurant!" Zhou Yang finished replying to Lin Feng and immediately directed Zhao Lei to drive quickly.

Who exactly is he? How can he talk to Director Zhou like that?

He seems so young. Could he possibly be some kind of ’red’ Crown Prince, or why else would he be speaking to Director Zhou in that manner?

What’s the relationship between him and Director Zhou? It doesn’t seem as simple as it sounds.

...

Hearing the young man talk to Zhou Yang in such a manner, the three officers sitting in the backseat were dying of curiosity. Who was this young man chatting with the director in the front seat, and how could he talk to Director Zhou like that? Moreover, even more astounding was the tone, which gave the impression that Director Zhou was somehow subordinate to him. In the whole of Tianhai, no other young person could speak to Director Zhou this way. Could this young man be some kind of ’red’ Crown Prince? The more the three officers thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, otherwise, on what basis would such a young person command such serious attention from Director Zhou? It just didn’t make any sense.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Yuehai Seafood Restaurant. If it had been any ordinary car, it wouldn’t matter, but they were driving a police car, which was very intriguing. Normally, nobody on an official outing would drive a public service vehicle, let alone park it ostentatiously right at the entrance, such a conspicuous spot, drawing the eyes of everyone. Each pair of eyes wondered why the car was parked there...

Yuehai Seafood Restaurant was the most famous seafood restaurant in Tianhai City, sumptuously decorated, making anyone who dined there for the first time marvel at its opulence. Eating there was like an imperial indulgence, and the clientele were either wealthy or prestigious.

So, when Zhou Yang’s two police cars stopped at the entrance of Yuehai Seafood Restaurant, it was an eye-catching affair. Seeing the car parked, the welcoming manager, Wu Xiaojun, rushed over. None of the guests coming here were simple folks, and noticing Zhou Yang’s second-grade superintendent epaulettes was unmistakable—a ranking that couldn’t be faked even if one tried.
