Zhu Maode’s slightly drunken haze had vanished without a trace; his spirits were as if he had taken a stimulant!
It’s no wonder Zhu Maode was behaving this way—he had muddled through half a lifetime in the bureaucratic arena, only managing to climb his way up to the position of chief of the South District Sub-bureau.
Frankly speaking, our Chief Zhu was of humble origins!
With no powerful figures backing him, he saw his career halting at the rank of a sub-bureau chief.
But now, Ye Chenfeng’s arrival gave him hope.
Three years ago, the kind of person whose release the city’s Party Secretary could secure with a personal phone call couldn’t have a simple family background, could he?
As long as he could win Ye Chenfeng’s favor, wouldn’t he then have opportunities to rise through the ranks?
So, he absolutely had to forge a connection with Ye Chenfeng!
“Chief Zhu, this is hardly a teahouse.
How about I treat you to tea some other day?” Ye Chenfeng reckoned he would have to stay in Tianhai for quite a long time!
There were times when it wasn’t suitable for him to intervene directly.
The Chief Zhu before him obviously wanted to form a connection, so Ye Chenfeng decided to go with the flow, knowing well there would come a time in Tianhai when Zhu Maode could be of use.
“Look at what you’re saying!
How could I let you treat me to tea?
I’ll give you my phone number.
If you have time to grab tea someday, just give me a call.
I assure you I’ll be there whenever you need.” Zhu Maode had an exceptional talent for observing others and acting accordingly.
He knew that it was impossible to become close with Ye Chenfeng instantly.
He had to grasp the right measure; push too hard and he might end up repulsing Ye Chenfeng, which would be a true loss.
After exchanging phone numbers, Ye Chenfeng asked, “And what about today’s matter, Chief Zhu?”
Zhu Maode’s chubby face quivered as he replied, “Brother, stop calling me Chief Zhu.
Doesn’t that sound so distant?
If you’re willing, you can call me ‘big bro,’ or just by my name is fine.”
Zhu Maode didn’t make Ye Chenfeng feel disgusted.
Ye Chenfeng casually responded, “Then I’ll call you Big Bro Zhu from now on.”
Zhu Maode’s face lit up with a beaming smile upon hearing this, knowing he had drawn closer to Ye Chenfeng.
He said, “Little bro, I can sort out today’s issues for you completely, just hurry on home and rest!
It’s late at night already; it would trouble my conscience if I wore you down too much!”
When Ye Chenfeng and Zhu Maode stepped out of the interrogation room, the fierce Yao Suman was standing guard at the door!
Her ample chest heaved, indicating that she was holding back a rush of frustration.
Upon seeing Yao Suman, Zhu Maode adjusted his expression and said solemnly, “Captain Yao, it seems you’ve made a mistake this time.
After my meticulous questioning, I’ve found this brother to be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record!
Look at what you’ve done.
Write me a report about this later.”
Though Yao Suman was the lifesaver of the mayor’s son, Zhu Maode was, after all, the chief of the South District Sub-bureau.
With no evidence to prove Ye Chenfeng’s alleged assault in the bar, Zhu Maode could take full charge of the matter.
“Chief, we can’t let him go.
Putting aside the bar incident, I’m charging him with assaulting an officer,” Yao Suman protested indignantly.
“Captain Yao, who can prove that for you?
You turned off the surveillance cameras beforehand, which is already in violation of the police department’s regulations.
Let’s leave this matter be; further pursuit would benefit no one.” Zhu Maode stated emphatically.
Ye Chenfeng gently rotated his neck and said, “Monkey, let’s go home.”
Boss,” Monkey had just finished his statement not long ago.
As Ye Chenfeng walked past Yao Suman, he whispered, “Officer Yao, your butt feels pretty good to the touch.
Don’t forget to look for me next time there’s an opportunity .”
“You—” Yao Suman’s face flushed red, but Zhu Maode was her superior after all, and she couldn’t defy his orders.
Besides, it was her own decision to turn off the surveillance camera, so she could only blame herself for the consequences.
Watching Ye Chenfeng’s departing figure and feeling the fiery pain still present on her buttocks, Yao Suman thoroughly listed Ye Chenfeng in her book of evildoers.
Not only had he seen her body, but he had also hit and touched her buttocks, which made Yao Suman so angry she nearly spat blood.
When Ye Chenfeng and Monkey left the South District Police Station, the headquarters of the Dragon Tooth Association in Tianhai was dead quiet.
The president, Jiang Yilong, sat in the central seat of the main hall with a large scar on his face.
At this moment, his gloomy eyes were blazing with anger.
The news that his brother, the bald thug, had been beaten to near death had already reached the Dragon Tooth Association.
How could he, as an older brother, swallow such an insult?
Although he knew his brother was only good at causing trouble outside, blood was thicker than water!
Even if his brother committed arson or murder, he, as an older brother, still had to clean up the mess!
“You useless bunch, can’t even take care of my brother?
Blue Sky Bar is our Dragon Tooth Association’s territory.
If this gets out, where should I, Jiang Yilong, put my face?”
Jiang Yilong stood up from his chair, his eyes bulging with fury as he scanned all those present in the hall and bellowed.
Standing next to Jiang Yilong was a middle-aged man named Qiu Dong.
He had spent some time in the military before being expelled for offending an officer’s son and subsequently joining the Dragon Tooth Association by chance.
Qiu Dong had always been dissatisfied with the way the Dragon Tooth Association operated, especially with how President Jiang Yilong allowed his brother, the bald thug, to bully the good and fear the evil unconditionally.
Even though Qiu Dong had joined the underworld, the spirit of a soldier still lingered in his bones.
“President, our people have sent a message that the two men have just left the police station,” a member of the Dragon Tooth Association reported to Jiang Yilong.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yilong said, “Keep an eye on those two.
Tonight I want to let them know that there’s no good end for those who offend the people of the Dragon Tooth Association.”
Standing aside, Qiu Dong felt uneasy tonight, sensing that something was off about the situation.
He wanted to warn Jiang Yilong but decided against speaking when he saw Jiang Yilong’s unappeasable anger and swallowed his words back down.
“Gather fifty brothers and get ready to set off.” It was only two people they were after, and Jiang Yilong wasn’t overly concerned, believing that fifty members of the Dragon Tooth Association would be more than enough.
