Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 144 What do you mean?

"What do you think you are, suing me?" When Liu Nan saw Lin Feng appear, he got even angrier. Why was he so unlucky today? When catching Lin Dongchen, he was blocked by Lin Feng and Zhou Yang and couldn’t make a move. Now here he was, causing trouble at the hotel again, and suing me? Does he really think I, Liu Nan, am easy to bully? Doesn’t he know about my famed reputation in Tianhai!

With that thought, he hurled the cup in his hand directly at Lin Feng. Just what do you think you are, Lin Feng!

Lin Feng easily dodged the cup and then continued to stand there, watching Liu Nan with a playful look on his face.

"Old Zhao, Old Yang, cuff Liu Nan and take him away!" Zhou Yang hadn’t expected Liu Nan to throw a cup, and although he knew it wouldn’t hit Lin Feng, he still felt a bit angry. How dare he attempt to hit Lin Feng right in front of me? He immediately ordered for Liu Nan to be cuffed.

"Please don’t, don’t use force! Director Liu is about to arrive!" Wu Xiao rushed forward immediately. He absolutely couldn’t let them take Liu Nan away, or else Director Liu would have his hide! Both sides were bigwigs, what could he, just a worker, do?

"Listen to me, let’s take Liu Nan into custody first!" Zhou Yang shouted loudly. Hearing Wu Xiao saying that Liu Jilong would soon be there, now was not the time to douse Liu Jilong in oil, when else would he? Only by infuriating Liu Jilong, making him lose his rationality, would things proceed as planned. His side’s chances of winning would be even greater.

"Please no, absolutely don’t get physical!" Wu Xiao surged forward, trying to stop Zhao Lei and Yang Bo. No matter what happened, he simply couldn’t let them cuff Liu Nan!

"Zhou Yang, I’m right here! If you’ve got the guts, come cuff me yourself!" Liu Nan roared in anger. Today, his face had been lost all the way to the Himalayas. When his dad arrived, he would definitely deal with the ignorant Zhou Yang, who actually wanted to cuff him in front of everyone. Did he really think Liu Nan was a pushover that could be pinched however one liked?

If you’re seeking your own death, then don’t blame anyone else!

A few people next to Liu Nan saw that they were really about to cuff him and wouldn’t stand for it. They immediately got up to guard around Liu Nan, saying that they absolutely couldn’t let Zhao Lei and Yang Bo get close. If Liu Nan was taken away, it would make all of them look bad if the news got out!

Zhao Lei and Yang Bo exchanged glances, both understanding what the other was thinking. At the police station, it was decided to escalate the situation. Catching Liu Nan wasn’t really the important part, because if Liu Jilong fell, they could pinch Liu Nan however they wanted! With this in mind, the two of them pretended to push and shout against a few people, aiming for exactly this effect.

"Zhou Yang, you..." Liu Nan couldn’t hold back any longer. He grabbed a small dish and hurled it at Zhou Yang, wishing he could smash Zhou Yang to death right then and there.

"Liu Nan, this is a blatant attack on a police officer!" Zhou Yang easily dodged Liu Nan’s flying dish and immediately labeled Liu Nan with assaulting an officer. There were so many people watching here, you simply couldn’t deny it! However, Liu Nan’s action was really helpful; it solved quite a few problems. It was killing several birds with one stone. Just now, I was pondering how to get you baited, and in the blink of an eye, you were so cooperative.

"Which of your eyes saw me assaulting an officer? I just threw a plate." When Liu Nan heard Zhou Yang accusing him of assaulting an officer, he immediately started to vehemently deny it, familiar with tactics he himself had often employed.

...

Zhou Yang again began to argue and confront Liu Nan. However, the goal was to drive Liu Nan mad. If Liu Nan could be provoked into doing something drastic, that would be even better, achieving the desired aim. Right now, he was more worried about not being able to enrage Liu Nan enough to say something offensive or do something rash. If possible, it would be perfect if Liu Nan beat him up, as that would make things even better.

Watching Zhou Yang confront Liu Nan, Wu Xiao was nearly going crazy. How was he supposed to wrap up this situation today? Who had he offended to end up in such an unlucky predicament? What was he supposed to do?

The crowd outside the private room could no longer bear to watch. The situation had completely blown up, and it was likely beyond concealment now because too many people had seen it, and they were all prominent figures. Realizing this, several people quietly slipped away, each reaching for their phones...

...

"Zhou Yang! What are you trying to do!" Director Liu Jilong finally arrived at Yuehai Seafood Restaurant. As he entered the private room area and saw a crowd around a doorway, his heart sank. After hurrying inside, he saw Zhou Yang leading his men in a stand-off with his son. The two were arguing furiously, and the entire private room was in total disarray. How could he not be furious when he saw this scene?

Why were you acting out of character today, so brazenly coming to the hotel to arrest my son? Are you even taking me, the Director, seriously anymore? Not only has Liu Nan’s dignity been swept away, but as the Director, I’ve been made to lose face too. Are you deliberately causing trouble for me and my son just to embarrass us?

What gives Zhou Yang the right to lay hands on my son? Are you tired of being the deputy director and looking to retire early? You’re usually not so bold at the police station, always keeping a low profile. So why have you become so high-profile today, even coming to the hotel in your police uniform to arrest my son? Did you take the wrong medication today, or else you wouldn’t have gone crazy and arrested my son? I, Liu Jilong, have dealt with many people, and you’ve seen quite a few yourself. Aren’t you afraid that after today I will take good care of you?

Could it be that Zhou Yang has found some powerful backing, and that’s why he’s making his move so high-profile now? That’s even less likely. I know all the deeply connected families in Tianhai, and not a single one of them is an old-established family that would randomly support someone like that. Besides, Zhou Yang has been in Tianhai for so long without a backer. Even if he found some big shot to rely on, it’s impossible that they would move to arrest my son so quickly. He must be bluffing, absolutely bluffing!

But why is he doing this...

"Liu Nan intentionally harmed others, Lin Dongchen’s family has already called the police, and I’m here to take Liu Nan back to assist with the investigation," Zhou Yang said with a stern face, feeling overjoyed inside now that Liu Jilong had finally shown up. Everything was going exactly according to plan. Liu Jilong was infamous for protecting his son. As long as everything was handled properly, it would all go smoothly. All justice was on his side, and the crowd around would also back him up with their testimonies. With Mayor Leng backing him up too, there was nothing left to fear!

However, Liu Jilong’s face is so dark right now, he must be furious. But seeing him like this makes me so damn pleased. Before, when he suppressed me and I had to hold in my anger, seeing him bow down today feels so satisfying. If only I could anger him to the point of spitting blood, that would be even more thrilling!

"How could I possibly hit someone? I’m a law-abiding citizen, and it was I who got hurt, okay? Now it’s turned around, and I’m the one accused of hurting others. What are you even thinking, Zhou Yang?" Seeing his own father was here, Liu Nan also felt relieved and immediately put on a very innocent expression. After all, I was the first to call the police, saying that Lin Dongchen hurt me, and besides, that surveillance video has been tampered with, so what do I have to fear?

"Did you hear that, Zhou Yang? Liu Nan is obviously the victim—what exactly do you mean by coming here?" Hearing his son say this, Liu Jilong got even angrier. You, Zhou Yang, have really got some nerve now, to twist right and wrong onto my son’s head—who gave you such guts! Today, if you dare to take Liu Nan away, just what are you implying?

"There’s no ulterior motive. I’m just taking him back for investigation. The victim is lying in the hospital!" Zhou Yang insisted on detaining Liu Nan. If he didn’t detain Liu Nan, how could Liu Jilong be enraged and escalate the situation? He must infuriate him!

"Yes, you, Liu Nan, are the victim, the victim who is perfectly fine and drinking here, while the person who hit you is in the hospital with only half a life left!" Lin Feng suddenly chimed in, eager to steer public opinion to his side and add fuel to the fire.

"Lin Feng, who let you speak!" Liu Nan, seeing Lin Feng interject, was so angry he could barely catch his breath. You couldn’t keep quiet, could you? You just had to pick the most crucial moment to speak up and let these people think whatever they want!

"Who are you? Get out of here!" Seeing a young man daring to butt in, and groundlessly saying things that could lead to misunderstanding, Liu Jilong’s rage grew bigger. What do you mean by saying the victim is here drinking while the unrelated party shouldn’t worry about it—it’s none of your business what you’re blabbering about here!

"I forgot to introduce him, he’s Lin Dongchen’s relative, Lin Feng, and he’s the one who reported the case," Zhou Yang said, making clear Lin Feng’s identity just as they were trying to kick Lin Feng out. How could he possibly let Lin Feng leave? Even you, the director, have no right to drive Lin Feng away.

"Everyone saw that, right? When they can’t win an argument, they resort to rage. Look at them, as if they want to devour someone, are they thinking of swallowing up anyone who can’t be out-talked?" Lin Feng stood his ground and threw in another comment that could surely provoke the imaginations of the crowd.

When Zhou Yang heard Lin Feng’s remark, he almost shouted his approval. The comment was spot on—absolute truth that left Liu Jilong and his son with no room for rebuttal, no chance to explain. It made anyone who heard it pause for thought, and paired with Liu Jilong’s status, that was just brilliant.

The group of people at the door immediately began to talk amongst themselves. Lin Feng’s words really did carry meaning!

"The one who was beaten is here drinking, while the beater is in the hospital— that’s impossible, who would believe that?"

"Exactly, if I beat you up, you can drink just fine, but I’m the one who ends up in the hospital? Ghosts wouldn’t believe it!"

"You didn’t see how red Liu Jilong and his son’s eyes are right now. It seems they are no strangers to doing such things in the past."

"If you want to make a deer out to be a horse, at least find a more believable way to do it—like this, no one will believe it!"

"Yeah, if you’re beaten, you should at least pretend to be hurt for a while, not run out to drink. That’s just asking for trouble!"

...

The people at the entrance had pretty much all decided that it was Liu Nan who had beaten someone up because such a situation simply could not be interpreted any other way. Nobody would believe that the one who was beaten is living it up while the one who did the beating is in the hospital—that is absolutely impossible!
