Chapter 1586 - 1570–1573: The Floor Collapsed..._3
What’s going on here?
Deputy Captain Zhang looked at the few policemen who had arrived and were being so deferential to Lin Feng, and he was completely baffled, unable to understand what was happening. He knew that the policemen present were department heads, and among them was Deputy Director Zhou of the police bureau. This made him truly perplexed, wondering who indeed this young man was to deserve such courtesy from them.
But thinking back to the time when Lin Feng had berated him, he felt a fire in his heart. He decided to go to Deputy Director Zhou to lodge a complaint, but before he could speak, another policeman rushed to his side and whispered a few words into his ear, making him realize who Lin Feng actually was. Even their director treated Lin Feng with utmost respect, and who was he, a mere deputy captain of the criminal police squad, to confront Lin Feng? Even if he wanted to do something to Lin Feng, he wouldn’t dare!
"Forget it, I’m not going to pursue this matter. You better leave quickly, I’ll pretend the previous incident never happened."
Though he was very unwilling, he had no other option but to say so helplessly. Now all he hoped was for Lin Feng to leave quickly, as for the previous incident where Lin Feng had insulted him, he could only swallow his pride.
Deputy Captain Zhang also had his considerations. If Lin Feng entered the police bureau and killed Li Jingpu and the others, it would stir up an enormous hornet’s nest. At this moment, he decided to bear the loss and endure it, as long as Lin Feng would leave.
But what frustrated Deputy Captain Zhang was that despite his concessions, Lin Feng was still relentless regarding the matter.
"That’s not going to work; today I must see Li Jingpu." Lin Feng didn’t even glance at Deputy Captain Zhang and said directly. He wanted to uncover the truth, and no one could stop him.
"You still want to see Li Jingpu? Are you forcing me to personally arrest you?" Deputy Captain Zhang, already holding back his anger, erupted upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He couldn’t control himself anymore; after yelling, he was about to charge at Lin Feng, as his fury had consumed his rationality. He had already made so many concessions to Lin Feng, nearly kneeling down to beg Lin Feng, yet this guy was still this arrogant, giving no face at all, tolerable to what extent?
But to his surprise, just as he charged forward, several policemen by his side forcefully restrained him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free. At this moment, Deputy Director Zhou couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted at Deputy Captain Zhang, "Nonsense! If you dare speak again, I’ll confine you!"
Deputy Director Zhou was truly angry now. Who did Lin Feng think he was, such that a mere deputy captain could offend him? Even Zhou himself didn’t dare to offend Lin Feng, and actually wanted to act against Lin Feng now was akin to pushing him into a fire pit. Thinking back to what happened with Lin Feng in the police bureau before, he now felt terrified.
After giving Deputy Captain Zhang a harsh glare, he quickly walked to Lin Feng’s side and said respectfully to Lin Feng, "Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry, we’re not deliberately trying to stop you. This matter involves diplomatic issues, can you please understand our position?"
Deputy Director Zhou lowered his stance significantly. He was now negotiating this matter with Lin Feng, not wanting Lin Feng to enter the police bureau. The murderous aura around Lin Feng was already so intense, and if he did go in and really kill someone, nobody could stop him.
He had understood the situation and knew that Li Jingpu had killed a student. He didn’t want to let go of such a person, but there were too many involved issues. The other party even had diplomatic immunity, and if Lin Feng killed the person, the police bureau of Tianhai City would be thrust into the limelight. Therefore, his only hope now was to persuade Lin Feng not to pursue this matter; he truly had no solution.
But he never expected that despite lowering his stance this much, Lin Feng still didn’t grant him any face.
"Today I must see Li Jingpu; are you going to stop me?" Lin Feng did not respond to Deputy Director Zhou and asked back.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Deputy Director Zhou was nearly ready to spit blood. He never imagined Lin Feng would persist this much; notwithstanding the severity of the situation he had explained, Lin Feng still persisted. What was he to do? If he didn’t let Lin Feng in, anything could happen. If he did, the people from the H Country Embassy would surely object. He truly didn’t want to stir up any major incidents.
For a moment, Deputy Director Zhou didn’t know what to do, and with his mouth open, he couldn’t say a word. Emotionally, he wanted to let Lin Feng in, but rationally, he knew the matter involved far too much. Even as a deputy director of the police bureau, he couldn’t bear the consequences, standing there torn...
But as he remained silent, Lin Feng moved, stepping forward towards the police bureau, scaring Deputy Director Zhou terribly, his brows twitching. Without thinking any further, he immediately ran a few steps and blocked Lin Feng.
"Um... Teacher Lin, we - we’ll agree to let you in, but I just hope you can give us some leeway, alright?"
Deputy Director Zhou said cautiously to Lin Feng, almost begging him. He knew it was impossible to keep Lin Feng from entering today, so he could only let him proceed. As for the embassy’s reaction, he had ceased to consider it. Under such circumstances, no one could balance the situation; his only hope now was that Lin Feng would give him face and not cause anything earth-shattering.
