Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Overbearing
Along the way, although Zhang Ting was already driving fast, Ye Shikai still kept urging her.
“I’m already driving as fast as I can,” Zhang Ting said helplessly. She turned on the siren, but unfortunately, the traffic in Yanjing was too congested, especially during rush hour, so it took a full half-hour to reach Yanjing University.
“A bunch of university students, not focusing on their studies, messing around,” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but curse in the car. He was anxious too, as the current situation was very special; any small scandal could potentially become the prey of a murderer, and the fact that this incident happened in Huaxia’s top institution could stir up public opinion even more.
“Qingqing, Yaoyao.” As the car stopped at the entrance of the university, Ye Shikai immediately spotted the two women standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for something.
“Brother-in-law, I knew you would come, so Yaoyao and I came here early,” Su Ziqing said eagerly, “I thought you might need to investigate, and we can help.”
“That’s fine, thank you.” Ye Shikai spoke indifferently. These past few days he had chatted with Su Qingyu about the case, and Su Ziqing had also come to understand quite a bit, not to mention Han Ruoyao, whose father was the Chief of Police, who must be very familiar with the current case.
“Yaoyao, as the president of the student union, tell me about the situation,” Ye Shikai got straight to the point. Han Ruoyao saw his serious expression and didn’t dare to joke around as usual, recounting the details thoroughly.
“Really, it’s just a minor issue, does it need to be escalated ?” Zhang Ting still couldn’t help but complain after hearing it. Indeed, it was a small issue, but now it could escalate into a major one because of the murderer’s appearance.
“Where is the club president?” Ye Shikai asked.
“He’s still at the school, probably in the counselor’s office now. I’ll take you there,” Han Ruoyao immediately replied.
As soon as they arrived at the office, Ye Shikai saw the scene before him and was immediately inflamed with anger. The club president was arrogantly sitting on a chair, playing with his cellphone, while the aggrieved officer trembled, somewhat at a loss. From the files, Ye Shikai knew the club president’s name was Zhang Chen, and the aggrieved officer was named Li Tianfeng.
“Who are you guys?” Zhang Chen arrogantly exclaimed, showing no trace of a student leader.
“Police.” Zhang Ting was instantly annoyed.
“Police, what’s so great about that, huh.”
“Zhang Chen, watch your mouth. You just create trouble, can’t you clean up your own mess?” At this moment, Han Ruoyao directly lashed out. Although Zhang Chen was displeased, he did not retort any further, clearly, Han Ruoyao held some authority among the students.
“We need to take you to the police station for an investigation,” Ye Shikai stepped forward and stated directly.
“Have I broken the law, or what? What right do you have to arrest me?” Zhang Chen, hearing that he was to be taken to the police station, immediately became defiant, picking up a wooden stick, seemingly ready to resist law enforcement.
“My dad is the Chairman of Zhang Real Estate; I’m not afraid of you police,” Zhang Chen kept shouting, a point Ye Shikai was familiar with from the documents, as Zhang Chen’s father, Zhang Gong, was indeed the billionaire Chairman of Zhang Real Estate, and thus Zhang Chen was the typical spoiled rich kid, often commanding a group of underlings at school, but that was just to intimidate ordinary people, something Ye Shikai would not tolerate.
“So, the father is a Chairman, no wonder the young one carries such an air of authority.”
“Who is it who wants to arrest my son?” At this moment, a few men in suits walked in, the leader somewhat corpulent and bloating, shouting loudly as he entered, with several bodyguards following him.
“Conducting an investigation, please cooperate,” Ye Shikai still tried to remain restrained, as now acting in the capacity of the police, it was better to talk than to resort to physical actions.
“Police officer, my son hasn’t committed any crimes, right?” Zhang Gong also showed arrogance, true to the saying that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, both father and son displaying similar attitudes.
“Mr. Zhang Gong, I believe you’ve heard about your son’s actions online,” Ye Shikai coldly remarked, naturally intending to satirize Zhang Chen’s character, implying that such family shame should not be publicized, as causing such a scene has already embarrassed Zhang Gong, but even so, he didn’t take any proper measures, just blindly shielding.
“Hmph, officer, I hope you mind your words.” Zhang Gong’s tone contained a heavy threat, obviously unaware of Ye Shikai’s true status, who was not just from the Netherworld Palace but also a Major in the army, certainly not someone who would succumb to threats from a businessman.
“Unimpressed by police authority, how about the National Security Bureau then?” At this moment, Tianjing walked in from outside, “National Security Bureau handles cases with the highest authority, Mr. Zhang, do you have anything else to add?” Tianjing showed his credentials to everyone, the position of the National Security Bureau in Yanjing is self-explanatory, only a truly significant figure in Huaxia could necessitate the involvement of the National Security Bureau.
Unsurprisingly, at the mention of the National Security Bureau, Zhang Gong’s face showed shock and wariness, his son’s mishaps making the news, and if targeted by the National Security Bureau, it could potentially harm the group’s interests.
“Gentlemen officers, my son has made a mistake, I want to personally take him home for some stern correction, rest assured, similar incidents will absolutely not occur again,” Zhang Gong placated, hoping to downplay the issue.
“Mr. Zhang, let me be frank with you, if you do not cooperate, this case might threaten your son’s life,” Ye Shikai coldly spoke, pointing at Zhang Chen.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen started cursing loudly, many of which were personal attacks against Ye Shikai, making both Han Ruoyao and Su Ziqing furious, wanting to rush up and argue, but they were held back by Zhang Ting, whereas Ye Shikai remained as calm as water, seemingly unaffected by the curses.

“Alright, alright, officer, it can’t be that serious, right? If there’s no evidence proving my son has committed a crime, then I’m taking him,” Zhang Gong said, disapproving of Ye Shikai’s words, as no one would believe such a grave threat, thinking who would be scared by the risk to their life.
As Tianjing was about to physically restrain Zhang Chen, Ye Shikai quickly stepped in front and stopped him with a glance, indicating not to engage physically.
“So you just let Zhang Gong take him away,” Zhang Ting said anxiously after they had left.
“He’s a university student; he needs to pay for his own actions.”
