Chapter 776: Chapter 772: Regret Beyond Reach
Ye Fan closed the door and said with a faint cold smile, “I told you, once you entered this door, you had to pay the price for your actions.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Jianfeng and his two companions tensed up and warned, “Are you daring to assault police officers? Young man, we are just taking you to the police station for a urine test. If you comply, we will naturally let you go. But if you dare to assault a police officer, the consequences will be severe!”
Ye Fan, tall and sturdy, exuded a dangerous oppressive force even when he didn’t intentionally suppress his strong Qi-Blood, making Luo Jianfeng and the others think Ye Fan was going to attack them.
“Hehe, no, why would I assault a police officer?” Ye Fan said coldly with a light chuckle, “It seems you have forgotten your own status. I’ve decided to let your superiors personally come and discipline you.”
After speaking, Ye Fan calmly took out his cellphone, looked up the number of Luo Guozhong, the chief of Hua Hai City Police, and dialed it.
The sight scared the two young policemen, who anxiously called out to Luo Jianfeng, “Chief Luo.”
“Don’t be afraid, he’s just bluffing,” Luo Jianfeng gritted his teeth and said, “We’re doing nothing wrong, what’s there to fear?”
He didn’t believe Ye Fan could find a backer even more significant than Wang Kaichen’s.
“But…” The two young policemen still worried seeing how determined Ye Fan was, as if they really had kicked an iron plate.
Hardening his heart, Luo Jianfeng shouted, “Handcuff him first, don’t let him notify his accomplices!”
Shouting, he was the first to pounce towards Ye Fan, followed quickly by the two young policemen because of their concern.
Ye Fan stayed behind the door handle, showing no intention to move aside, preventing the three policemen from escaping.
Having successfully grabbed Ye Fan, Luo Jianfeng and his two companions were delighted and quickly tried to handcuff him.
Just then, Ye Fan, standing behind the door handle, didn’t move away, but his figure suddenly shifted, and Luo Jianfeng and the others immediately felt a tremendous force pushing them back six or seven steps before they could steady themselves, and then they fell down.
After they steadied themselves, all of their faces dramatically changed as they truly felt they had indeed hit an iron plate this time.
“Friend, friend, let’s talk this through, there’s no need for harsh measures,” Luo Jianfeng urgently pleaded.
Ye Fan shook his head nonchalantly, moving his phone slightly away and telling the three, “It’s too late, I’ve already made the call.”
After that, he brought the phone close and said with a light smile, “Chief Luo, this is Ye Fan. Sorry to disturb your rest at this hour.”
Upon hearing Ye Fan addressing the person on the phone as Chief Luo, Luo Jianfeng and the others turned pale. How many Chief Luos could there be in Hua Hai City Police? Only one—their biggest boss, Police Chief Luo Guozhong.
“It’s Mr. Ye. Hehe, no problem, I haven’t gone to bed yet,” Luo Guozhong’s laughter came from the phone, “What happened?”
Ye Fan spoke, “That’s good. Three police comrades suddenly came to my place, claiming someone reported me for drug usage, and insisting on taking me to the police station…”
“What?! There’s such a thing?” Luo Guozhong’s angry voice sounded from the phone.
Luo Guozhong was indeed furious; he didn’t know the specifics of Ye Fan’s identity, but Ye Fan had a confidentiality level so high, even he, the Police Chief of Hua Hai City, had no authority to know it. It had to be a highly significant individual to the state. Now, his own subordinates helped frame Ye Fan for drug usage!
In his anger, he immediately said, “Mr. Ye, I’m sorry. I’ve been lax in supervising my subordinates. I’m coming over immediately. Could you hand the phone to the leading officer and let me speak to him?”
“Sure,” Ye Fan replied, “I’m really sorry to make you come out so late at night.”
“Hehe, Mr. Ye, you shouldn’t embarrass me. It’s my police department’s fault,” Luo Guozhong replied a bit sheepishly.
Next, Ye Fan handed the phone to Luo Jianfeng, saying, “Here, take the call; Chief Luo wants to talk to you.”
By now, Luo Jianfeng was filled with immense regret. Ye Fan had warned him earlier and even given him a chance, yet he had still foolishly charged ahead.
His face pale, and his hand trembling, Luo Jianfeng reached out to take the phone.
Seeing this, Ye Fan, slightly annoyed, scolded, “You’ve done it now. Why be so afraid at this point? Can’t you show some backbone?”
He was also a police officer, and upon seeing Luo Jianfeng , he couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated.
After being scolded by Ye Fan, Luo Jianfeng calmed down slightly, steadying his shaking hands as he took the cellphone.
“Luo Chief, hello.” After Luo Jianfeng took the cellphone, he glanced at Ye Fan and then walked a few steps away to talk to Luo Guozhong.
Luo Guozhong suppressed his anger and asked sternly, “What’s your name? Which sub-bureau are you from?”
“My name is Luo Jianfeng, I belong to the Liu Jiahui District Sub-bureau,” Luo Jianfeng honestly replied.
“Lao Zhang’s man,” Luo Guozhong remarked, then coldly snorted, “Stay where you are. Also, where is the address?”
Luo Jianfeng provided the address truthfully to Luo Guozhong.
After Luo Guozhong heard it, he couldn’t help but curse, “You have completely disgraced the police force!”
Then he hung up the phone.
Listening to the “beep beep” dead tone coming from the cellphone, Luo Jianfeng knew the consequences would definitely be very severe.
He sighed, turned around, and returned the cellphone to Ye Fan.
“Luo Leader.” The two young police officers couldn’t help but call out to Luo Jianfeng.
Luo Jianfeng turned around and said, “It’s Chief Luo.”
The two young police officers lost all hope, feeling as if all their strength had been drained from their bodies, nearly bursting into tears.
Working as a police officer in Hua Hai City wasn’t easy; they’d worked incredibly hard to get in, but now they had made a mistake, and their highest leader was personally holding them accountable—their authority was definitely going to be stripped.
Luo Jianfeng took a deep breath and comforted them, “Rest assured, you were only following orders; I will take full responsibility.”
Ye Fan walked back to the sofa, sat down, and while starting to make tea, he called out to Luo Jianfeng and the others, “Come, have a seat. It may take Chief Luo half an hour to get here.”
Luo Jianfeng sighed, walked over to the sofa, and sat down on another chair.
Seeing Luo Jianfeng sit down, the two young police officers also followed and sat down.
Luo Jianfeng gazed at Ye Fan, never expecting that this young man would wield such great influence—that a single phone call could get the Police Chief to rush over in the middle of the night.
Yet, he couldn’t recall which prominent Hua Hai City family this young man belonged to; in fact, he had never seen Ye Fan before. Being a veteran police officer, he usually knew whom in Hua Hai City should not be crossed.
Ye Fan didn’t immediately speak to Luo Jianfeng, letting them continue staring at him as he calmly focused on making tea.
Finally, the tea was ready.
Ye Fan poured four cups of tea, picked up one, savored a sip, then offered to Luo Jianfeng and the others, “This tea tastes good; try it.”
Luo Jianfeng forced a smile; they were hardly in the mood to appreciate tea.
“Who exactly are you?” Luo Jianfeng eventually couldn’t help but ask, wanting to know whose authority he had inadvertently challenged.
Ye Fan put down his teacup, looked squarely at Luo Jianfeng, and said, “Does it matter? Isn’t what’s happening to you now due to the mistakes you made and the deserved punishment?”
“We…” Luo Jianfeng dejectedly lowered his head.
Ye Fan continued, “Actually, I didn’t want you to be unlucky, so I gave you a chance at the door earlier…”
Hearing this, the two police officers couldn’t help but feel hopeful, pleadingly said, “Sir, could you possibly…”
“No,” Ye Fan shook his head and said firmly, “I cannot allow failures to continuously tarnish the police profession.”
