Chapter 788: Tiger Father, Dog Son
Chapter 788: Tiger Father, Dog Son
Dai Zhanpeng cursed Ye Fan countless times in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show even a trace of anger on his face, fearing more humiliation. For him, being detained by the base and then put on trial was an unprecedented loss of face.Although, in the end, he wouldn’t face much punishment, this already made him grit his teeth in anger.
"Bastard, we’ll see, just watch how I deal with you later. Dare to let young master Dai be so humiliated, I won’t let you off." Dai Zhanpeng’s heart was filled with raging anger.
He never expected that just because he trespassed into a secret base, he would be treated like this.
In the past, he did such things frequently, and each time he came and went with great swagger.
All because he had a powerful father.
More importantly, in front of Fu Huixia, he lost his face and even his dignity, which he found most unacceptable. So, it was imaginable how intense his hatred for Ye Fan was.
"Take him away and follow the procedure for the investigation," the Guard Captain instructed coldly.
"Yes!" The two guards, who had been controlling Dai Zhanpeng from the beginning, forcibly took him away.
"If you have any sense, you’ll let me go immediately. If my father investigates later, you’ll be in big trouble," Dai Zhanpeng threatened and then tempted them, saying, "If you give me face this time, I’ll remember your kindness and repay you greatly in the future. I swear by my father’s honor, not a word will be false."
"If you don’t want to suffer, you better be well-behaved," one guard advised impatiently.
"My father has never hit me, yet here you are, under that man’s orders, having slapped me. What you hit was not just my face, but the face of the Dai Family and even the Hawk Faction. Think about it yourselves," Dai Zhanpeng said coldly.
His words carried unprecedented weight. If he didn’t care about his own face, then what about the Dai Family’s face?
Especially the last sentence, the face of the Hawk Faction wasn’t something anyone could freely strike, because Dai Zhanpeng’s father was the representative of the Hawk Faction. It’s understandable why he spoke so forcefully.
"As the old saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons, but I think Dai Lao’s son is no different from a dog," the guard said with disappointment.
"How dare you insult me, you are truly bold," Dai Zhanpeng was furious. In front of Ye Fan, he didn’t dare to be too arrogant, because deep down, he feared the unidentified man, whose role and authority in the base he could not ascertain. He only guessed that Ye Fan wielded great power and was in awe of him, but he had nothing but disdain for these guards.
He grew bolder and said, "Since you called my father Dai Lao, you probably know how serious it is to detain and investigate me without authorization."
"Here, if you make a mistake, you must accept the rightful punishment. Not to mention you, even if Dai Lao himself were here, he couldn’t interfere with our actions. Should Dai Lao himself break the rules, he’d face his own punishment, let alone you. What are you but a prodigal relying on your father’s reputation? Without Dai Lao’s shelter, you are nothing," the guard snapped bluntly, sharply accusing.
"How dare you speak so rudely, even talking trash about my father. You will pay for your ignorance, do you know that?" Dai Zhanpeng angrily laughed. In his naive understanding, the guard’s words were exceedingly foolish.
"You still don’t know what’s good for you. It seems you really need a lesson," the guard said coldly.
"You..." Dai Zhanpeng’s eyes were filled with fire, almost fainting from anger.
He knew he was destined to suffer now. He hadn’t expected the guards to be so impervious, and so strong.
His unrealistic fantasies were completely shattered, and he could no longer think of a way to threaten the guards to save himself.
"What kind of place is this base, and why is it so special?" The surveillance man, also controlled by the guards, followed with his head drooping, hearing the guards’ and Dai Zhanpeng’s words clearly. Precisely because of this, he was alarmed at the unimaginable extraordinariness of this base.
"Now I’m done for. As a nobody trespassing into a forbidden area, I’m doomed. Dai was just trespassing the base, but I tracked Miss Fu to the base’s location, followed Dai into the base, and even recklessly attacked the base guards. If I don’t go to Hell, where else would I end up?" The surveillance man looked ashen, utterly losing spirit.
Just like that, Dai Zhanpeng and the surveillance man were detained by the guards.
Only now did Dai Zhanpeng recognize the reality that he couldn’t be sure even if his father knew, he may not be rescued.
Because, from the guards’ words, that subtle confidence indicated that they didn’t follow his father’s orders, seemingly not placing much importance on his father. Calculating this way, the base’s confidentiality level was beyond even his father’s reach, which underscored the unique specialty of this base.
Dai Zhanpeng realized the gravity of the situation, but it was too late for everything.
The base was heavily guarded and inviolable precisely because Ye Fan was serving as an instructor, training elite students from everywhere who would become strong figures once graduated. Whether for Ye Fan’s identity or the students’ prowess, everything had to be highly confidential. If leaked, it would be trouble.
For this purpose, the base’s guards were personally selected by Fu Lao and Xiao Long. They only acknowledged Ye Fan’s orders and reported to Fu Lao, not buying anyone else’s face or taking threats from anyone.
Even Ye Fan’s assistant was summoned by Fu Lao, bringing his granddaughter, all to maintain secrecy.
Thus, Dai Zhanpeng, a fop, was arrogantly in the wrong place.
Even if Dai Anping came personally, it would be useless.
The fundamental reason behind everything was Ye Fan’s presence, making everything in the base highly classified.
In the lounge, Fu Huixia hesitated for a moment before saying, "That young fellow just now, called Dai Zhanpeng, has been relentlessly pursuing me. This time, he must have discovered my location and followed me, entering the base. I’m partially responsible for the mess Dai Zhanpeng caused."
Fu Huixia spoke candidly without any intention of hiding.
She had no regard for Dai Zhanpeng, but unfortunately, the other party kept pestering her, which was troubling. Now that such a mess had occurred, she naturally had unavoidable responsibility.
