Chapter 542 - 539 I Don't Care Who You Are
"What was the reason?" Gao Fei asked. "Why did those two soldiers beat up that young master?"
"I've already made inquiries," Liu Qing said. "It was that young master's fault! The two soldiers were walking down the street and accidentally bumped into the young master. Then the young master started cursing them out and called his servants to beat up the soldiers. The soldiers acted in self-defense, and in the scuffle, they inadvertently injured the young master, who then called over a group of experts to surround and attack the soldiers." Liu Qing added, "At that time, the two soldiers had already apologized to the young master. Even when they were being cursed out, they didn't talk back..."
"How are those two soldiers now?" Gao Fei asked in a grave voice.
"Their lives were spared, but..."
"But what?"
"Their Dantians were destroyed, and their Meridians were shattered. Even if they recover from their injuries, they'll be cripples."
"... What about that young master? Was he arrested?"
"No," Liu Qing shook his head.
"No?" Gao Fei became anxious upon hearing this and scolded, "Why didn't you arrest him?"
Liu Qing said with a bitter smile on his face, "We had intended to arrest him, but we were stopped by someone, so..."
"Who stopped you?"
"Liu Ziqi."
"Liu Ziqi? Who is he?"
"The scribe by Lord Wan Fuchang."
"How does he come into this matter?" Gao Fei asked, frowning.
"That young master has a significant background; he is the son of the lord of West Liang City..."
"So what if he is the son of the city lord? Does that mean he can assault people at will? You take some men and arrest him immediately!" Gao Fei said angrily.
"My lord..."
"What? Did you not hear my words clearly?!"
"Please calm down, my lord, don't be rash..."
"I'll say it one last time: arrest that young master immediately and without delay! I must see him before nightfall!" Gao Fei stated, word by word.
"... Yes, I'll go now," Liu Qing said, turning to leave.
"You too," Gao Fei glared at Chen San. "If you can't capture that young master, don't bother coming back to see me!" What Gao Fei hated most was the children of the powerful bullying the weak, behaving recklessly and committing all sorts of evil due to their privileged backgrounds; it was utterly infuriating.
...
As dusk fell.
Liu Qing and Chen San returned, panting.
"Where is he?" Gao Fei asked.
"Already captured, I've locked him in the cell," Liu Qing replied.
"Come, take me to see him."
Thus, Gao Fei, accompanied by Liu Qing and Chen San, arrived at the cell.
"You bunch of bastards! You must have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard to dare to capture me!" a disheveled young man yelled. "Do you know who my father is? You'd be scared to death if I told you! My dad is the lord of West Liang City! You dare to capture me, he will never let you off! You damn things!"
Gao Fei walked over, raised his hand, and slapped the young man across the face.
"Slap!"
The young man spun around in place, then covered his face, looking incredulously at Gao Fei: "You... you dare to hit me?"
"I am hitting you." Gao Fei raised his hand again and gave the young man another resounding slap on the face.
The young man spun around again, his cheek swelling and a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth: "You bastard, I'm going to... Ah!" Before he could finish speaking, his face was met with another slap.
"Curse again, I dare you," Gao Fei said, his eyes flashing with a murderous intent.
"You..." The young man opened his mouth but ultimately did not dare to curse at Gao Fei again.
"Hmph!" Gao Fei snorted coldly. "I've seen plenty of people like you! Arrogant and haughty on the outside, but with spines of jelly, you cower after a few slaps."
"My dad is the lord of West Liang City," the young man said.
"Even if your dad is the Emperor himself, I'd still dare to beat you."
"You..."
"You were born lucky, you should cherish it, live your little life, and don't come out and cause trouble for people!"
"I..."
"Bad luck for you to have run into me! You deserve your misfortune! Today I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson! Let's see if you dare to misbehave again after this." With that, Gao Fei kicked the young man several times, hard.
"Don't... don't hit me anymore..." The young man fell to the ground, holding his head, trembling as he said, "Let's talk this out... can we not resort to violence?" After saying this, the young man added another line: "And that includes not kicking!"
"You want to talk it out, huh?" Gao Fei sneered, "Sure! Stand up and squat by the wall."
The young man, shivering, stood up and went over to the wall to squat down.
"I ask, you answer. Dare to tell a half-truth, and I'll smash your face in," Gao Fei said menacingly. "Did you get that?"
"I got it," the young man nodded.
"Name?"
"Huh?"
"I'm asking you what your name is!"
"Oh, I'm Dong Xiaohai."
"Age."
"Twenty-seven."
"Where's your family from?"
"Xiliang City, my father is the lord of Xiliang City... Ow! Why are you hitting me? I've been answering your questions honestly," Dong Xiaohai said, covering his face and speaking in a wronged tone.
"Answer only what I ask, don't talk nonsense," Gao Fei grunted.
"..." Dong Xiaohai hated Gao Fei to his core, cursing him upside down in his heart.
"Who's your father?" Gao Fei asked.
"Didn't I just say... Ow! Why are you hitting me again?"
"Just answer the question honestly, no need for the useless talk."
"...My father is the lord of Xiliang City..."
"Xiliang City is tens of thousands of miles from here, what are you doing here?"
"Sightseeing."
"Did you beat up two soldiers the day before yesterday?" Gao Fei inquired.
"There was such an incident."
...
No matter what Gao Fei asked, Dong Xiaohai answered every question honestly, not daring to hide a thing, mainly because he was scared of being slapped in the face by Gao Fei, as Gao Fei said, for all Dong Xiaohai's outward bluster, he was incredibly cowardly at heart.
"Come on, write down all your crimes and sign it," Gao Fei tossed a few sheets of paper and a pen to Dong Xiaohai.
Dong Xiaohai didn't dare to refuse, he lay on the ground, took the pen, and earnestly started to write on the paper.
A short time later, Dong Xiaohai handed over the confession he'd written to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei glanced at it and then nodded, "Hmm, not bad! Your character isn't worth much, but your handwriting is quite nice." He took the confession and turned to leave.
"Hey... when are you going to let me out?" Dong Xiaohai asked anxiously.
"Out?" Gao Fei stopped, turned his head to look at Dong Xiaohai: "You think you can leave after committing such serious crimes? Dream on!"
"You..."
"Just stay put here."
After throwing down those words, Gao Fei, along with Chen San and Liu Qing, left the prison cell.
