Chapter 285 - Arrival
Here is Chapter 285 of "Super Soldier in the City": Chapter 285: Chapter 292 Arrival"Who do you think you are, brazenly barging into the Public... Donât miss it!
Chapter 285: Chapter 292 Arrival"Who do you think you are, brazenly barging into the Public Security Bureauâs interrogation room like this!" Zhao Tao did not recognize the few people, and as he was about to take action, he was interrupted once again and immediately bellowed angrily.
"I am Song Zhentao!" the man leading the group said in a deep voice, his expression indescribably unpleasant.
"I donât care if youâre Song Zhentao or Song Zhenhaiâthis is a police station, so get out!" With Song Ziqiao there, Zhao Tao did not take anyone else seriously.
"Slap!" A crisp slap sounded, and Qian Liben, with a face ashen with anger, shouted, "You bastard, heâs the Municipal Party Secretary."
"Ah!" Zhao Tao, touching his face, was suddenly dumbfounded; he had actually just cursed the Municipal Party Secretaryâwasnât this seeking death?
Song Ziqiao stood up, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Secretary Song, what brings you here?"
Song Zhentao looked at Song Ziqiao with a stern face and said, "Song Ziqiao, youâve really got some nerve, turning the Public Security Bureau into a place for seeking personal revenge."
Song Ziqiaoâs face changed. Although he had backing from the province, he dared not underestimate a Municipal Party Secretary. After all, his future promotion still required a positive assessment from this side. If he had a bad reputation here, even with the great influence of his familyâs elder, it would be very troublesome when the time came.
Normally, his subordinates would flatter him, saying that even the Municipal Party Secretary was not as effective as him, but he knew well that it was his familyâs elder whom the Municipal Party Secretary feared, not him. As long as he stayed out of trouble, the Secretary would offer him face, but if he gave the Secretary an excuse, he could easily be dealt with.
However, even if he were at fault in this matter, there was no need for Song Zhentao to reprimand him so publicly, completely leaving him without any face.
"Secretary Song, I will give you a detailed report on this matter."
"Report my ass, this is the Public Security Bureau, what are you doing here? Is this your office?"
Song Ziqiaoâs face darkened as Song Zhentao cursed him in public. Where could he tolerate this, he said with a deep voice, "Secretary Song, even if this matter is my fault and I accept your criticism, was there really a need to curse me?"
Song Zhentao snorted coldly and said, "These gentlemen are from the Discipline Inspection Commission, you can talk to them about any issues later."
"Discipline Inspection Commission?" Song Ziqiaoâs eyes widened, unable to believe that Song Zhentao would bring the Discipline Inspection Commission here, intent on dealing him a deadly blow.
"Song Ziqiao, you are now under âtriple regulations,â please cooperate with our work," a man stepped forward to Song Ziqiao with a face full of seriousness.
Li Yifei, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said out loud, "Secretary Song, I have a recording here, I wonder if it can be taken as evidence."
Song Zhentao immediately responded, "Of course, it can."
Li Yifei quickly pulled out his mobile phone and said, "I recorded how they were torturing me during the interrogation."
Qian Libenâs face instantly turned pale with shock. With Song Ziqiao being taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, even if it was related to this case, it wouldnât be a big problem for him, but if there was a recording, his involvement in the torture could not be denied.
Zhao Tao and Zhang Sheng felt even weaker at this moment. This matter could be made a big deal or a small one, and if seriously pursued, they would not only be expelled from the police force but might be implicated in other cases, which would truly be disastrous for them.
What scared them the most, however, was that it was the Municipal Party Secretary, no less, who had come to deal with the matter, and from the looks of it, he was determined to deal with it harshly.
Moreover, they regretted not having taken Li Yifeiâs mobile phone away from the start, a serious oversight on their part. But even if they were now kicking themselves, it was too late for regrets.
Song Ziqiao suddenly realized somethingâLi Yifei had dared to oppose him repeatedly, which did not seem like the behavior of an ordinary person. Now that he had just captured Li Yifei, the Municipal Party Secretary had personally intervened and brought the Discipline Inspection Commission to sort him out. This was surely no coincidence. Furthermore, the manager of the Yiyun Clubhouse had specially told him that Li Yifei was someone with significant backing, yet he had not believed it, until now, when he suddenly did.
Staring hard at Li Yifei, Song Ziqiao said darkly, "Li Yifei, youâve won for now, but I really want to know, who exactly are you?"
Li Yifei smiled slightly and lit another cigarette, saying, "If you just did your job properly, you wouldnât need to worry about who I am. But if you abuse your power for wrongdoing, then any person youâve bullied might turn out to have a very significant background."
"Fine, fine, you wonât tell me, but I will find out. Let me tell you, you may have won this time, but it doesnât mean I will always lose. I will take my revenge."
Secretary Song gave a meaningful glance to his colleagues from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and they immediately took Song Ziqiao away.
It was only then that Director Sun Lijun, along with several Deputy Directors, hurried over. Just as they were about to speak, Song Zhentao sternly stated, "I need a detailed report, as well as an explanation of how this matter will be handled. I expect to see it in my office tomorrow."
After finishing, he gave Li Yifei another look and turned to leave.
Several directors hurried out, leaving only Qian Liben, Zhao Tao, and Zhang Sheng there, dumbfounded.
"Hey, can I go now?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.
Each of the three men jolted, unsure of what to do at that moment, but before they could decide, Sun Lijun charged in, shouting loudly, "Arenât you releasing him yet?"
Zhao Tao went over with a start to unlock Li Yifeiâs handcuffs, and at this time, Sun Lijun was repeatedly apologizing to Li Yifei. He wasnât aware of Li Yifeiâs identity, but todayâs incident had started because of Li Yifei. If he didnât soothe Li Yifei and Li Yifei made a fuss, his position as director would be at great risk.
Li Yifei didnât make it hard for Sun Lijun. With Song Ziqiao here, these people were also somewhat helpless. As for how to deal with it, that was something for Song Zhentao and the others to decide; it had nothing to do with him.
As he walked out of the first-floor corridor, Li Yifei saw several beautiful women, all of whom were looking his way. Michelle, in particular, dashed forward two steps and grabbed Li Yifeiâs arm, her eyes reddening as she said, "Brother Li, are you alright?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Do I look like Iâm not alright?"
"Mmhmm!" Michelle nodded repeatedly, suddenly throwing herself into Li Yifeiâs arms and hugging his waist tightly, starting to cry softly.
This catched Li Yifei slightly off guard since Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were watching from across the room, not to mention Lin Qiong, who had a weird expression. Xu Yingying wasnât too much of an issue since nothing had happened between them, but heâd had relationships with both He Fangqing and Lin Qiong. Now, with Michelle hugging him, he couldnât help feeling a bit uneasy.
Yet how could he ignore Michelleâs affection? The promises and sorrow when he was taken away were not something that just any girl could muster. Seeing him released and reacting so emotionally, if he didnât respond now, he really wouldnât be a man. He opened his arms and embraced Michelleâs shoulders, patting her gently and saying softly, "Stop crying, see, Iâm fine."
Michelle slowly stopped crying and gently let go of Li Yifei, her cheeks flushed as she said, "Itâs good youâre okay, Brother Li, you really scared me."
"Itâs my fault, letâs go; so many people are watching."
Reminded by Li Yifei, Michelle remembered the others watching and her face turned bright red. She quickly took two steps back and lowered her head, too shy to look at Li Yifei again. Seará´h the NovŃlĆire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Moved, Li Yifei took the initiative to take Michelleâs hand and led her to where Xu Yingying and the others were, saying, "Heh, I appreciate you all rushing over."
Xu Yingying should have been happy to see Li Yifei come out, but seeing him with Michelle soured her mood, leaving her with an unenthusiastic tone toward Li Yifei. She snorted, "You even know youâve inconvenienced us, always causing trouble and making us worry about you."
Li Yifei answered playfully, "Yes, yes, itâs my fault. Iâm so thankful for President Xuâs concern; I promise it wonât happen again."
"Humph, as long as you know," Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and, turning on her heel, clacked her high heels towards the exit.
He Fangqing seemed rather amused as she looked at Li Yifei and said, "You guy, it looks like youâre in for a tough time."
Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "No problem, no problem."
Both were speaking with double meanings, but neither Lin Qiong nor Michelle caught on.
"All right, Iâm leaving with President Xu first," He Fangqing chuckled again before turning around and following Xu Yingying out.
Li Yifei took Michelle by the hand to Lin Qiong. Lin Qiong snorted and pulled Michelle over, saying, "Michelle, what are you...?"
Michelleâs face grew redder, but she bravely met Lin Qiongâs gaze and said, "Lin Qiong, I like Brother Li."
Lin Qiongâs feelings were hard to describe. "But he already has a girlfriend."
Michelle bit her lip, resolute as she said, "I know, but I still like him. I wonât force Brother Li; nor will I interfere with his relationship with his girlfriend. However, if things donât work out with his girlfriend, I will definitely be with him."
Lin Qiongâs mouth twitched, "Do you even know heâs been involved with other women and even had... relationships?" As she said this, she felt somewhat distasteful, but she couldnât help saying it anyway.
Michelle smiled faintly, "I wonât mind Brother Liâs past. Besides, weâre modern people. Itâs normal to have relationships when dating. Moreover, I just like Brother Li, and heâs not my boyfriend now, so I have no right to interfere with his freedom."
Lin Qiong sighed, "You really are foolish." After that, she gave Li Yifei another glance and walked away.
Michelle savored Lin Qiongâs words; she seemed foolish indeed, but she found this kind of foolishness sweet. What harm is there in being foolish for love just once?
