Chapter 84 Who’s Afraid?
“Arrest me? By them? I will sue them for disturbing the residents!” Ling Tianyi released Xia Xiaoluo, picked up his mobile phone and began to search for the number.
“h.e.l.lo, Director Li? This is Ling Tianyi!” Ling Tianyi asked proudly, while Xia Xiaoluo was leaning beside Ling Tianyi and listening to what he said.
“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo! Manager Ling, it’s so late. Is there anything wrong?” Director Li was the head of the public security system in A City, but he still spoke to Ling Tianyi respectfully.
“Nothing serious. I’m having a rest in a hotel, but your staff has been pestering me. I have explained to them. No matter what I said, none of them listened to me. So I have to beat them. I’m sorry, Director Li. Please forgive me for the offence.” Ling Tianyi deliberately said in irony. He was suing the ungrateful policemen, but he was polite.
“Oh, Manager Ling, you regarded me as an outsider! Who dared to bother you! I’ll deal with it seriously later.” Director Li’s forehead sweated at once. No one could offend the big boss, Ling Tianyi. If he stamped his foot, the whole A City would have an earthquake of magnitude 8. It was no joking.
Before Ling Tianyi could speak to Director Li again, the door of the room was opened by the landlady of the hotel. Dozens of policemen and co-policemen crowded into the small room. Xia Xiaoluo instinctively shrank into Ling Tianyi’s arms.
“Dealing with them or not depends on you. Now they’re here to bother me again. I won’t say much about it. I’m in room 214 of the Hongyun Hotel now. Would you please come over and deal with it!” After Ling Tianyi finished, he hung up the phone.
Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo in his arms and found the people who had been beaten by him were among the group of policemen and co-policemen. Then he gave them a sneer and said, “It seems that I didn’t beat you severely enough just now. You still have the strength to ask for help.”
“Stop talking! You’re a dead man today. How dare you go whoring here? I will catch you today.” The slim policeman was so angry that no one dared to fight him since he became a policeman. But today he was beaten black and blue, although all of them were badly injured, he was humiliated and embarra.s.sed.
“Don’t speak dirty words. Who goes whoring? Have you seen me go whoring? I warn you again that I can sue you for the crime of defamation!” Ling Tianyi’s voice was full of coldness and his fierce eyes were like sharp knives, making people at present feel the stress from him.
“You two do not wear your clothes, and you stay in the small hotel at night. Can’t that explain everything?” An old policeman who came here this time shouted. He has partic.i.p.ated in the activities of eliminating p.o.r.nography and illegal publications for quite a time. He has never seen such an arrogant wh.o.r.emonger yet. After seeing the police, he still dared to fight people and speak so arrogantly.
Xia Xiaoluo was very nervous. Ling Tianyi felt that the little girl in his arms began to tremble. He could not let his little wife scared. He patted Xia Xiaoluo on the shoulder and kissed her hair. “Baby, don’t be afraid!”
“How shameless! How dare he!” The old policeman shouted, “Be quick. Bring both of them back to the police station for interrogation.”
“Who dares to?” Ling Tianyi shouted in a voice several times louder than the old policeman.
“How dare you? Who do you think you are?” The old policeman said scornfully. In his experience, people who lived in such cheap small hotels were the people at the bottom of society. These people were powerless and easy to be bullied. If he was powerful, he would definitely not come here, but go to a big hotel or an expensive club.
“I’m not anybody. I only had a company and I’m acquainted with Director Li!” Ling Tianyi said slowly, “By the way, I have told Director Li to come here. I think he will be here soon!”
“Nonsense! Don’t fool us with our director. I’ve experienced it before.” The old policeman said.
“Believe it or not, let’s wait and see. Ten minutes is enough.” Ling Tianyi said confidently.
Ling Tianyi knew Director Li’s residence. It was not far from here. It was only ten minutes for him to drive here.
However, Ling Tianyi did not know that, at this time, Director Li was still asking his secretary to look for the location of the Hongyun Hotel. But none of them could find a five-star hotel named Hongyun Hotel within A City.
Ten minutes pa.s.sed quickly. Ling Tianyi was instantly annoyed and scolded the director who could not come in time.
“Well, ten minutes is over.” The old policeman sneered, “Put them back to the police station.”
“We are a husband and wife. We are tired of living at home and want to play in the hotel. Do you care about this, too? Are you overseeing too much?” Ling Tianyi was reluctant to let his little wife go to the police station for interrogation in the evening. And as the manager of Huasheng Group, he has never suffered such grievances.
“A husband and wife? Hum, you are kidding! Okay, where is the marriage certificate! Take it out and show me.” The old policeman asked tactfully.
“Hey! Dude, you’re supposed to get married, aren’t you? Did you take your marriage certificate with you when you went out for a walk?” Ling Tianyi was speechless. He revealed the secret of his marriage, but these people still didn’t believe him.
“If you can’t show your marriage certificate, you’re not husband and wife. Take them away!” After the old policeman said that, several policemen and co-policemen came up together. Ling Tianyi could fight with them, but he couldn’t beat such a group of people.
Finally, this group of policemen successfully took Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo onto the police car.
Ling Tianyi only wrapped a bath towel and Xia Xiaoluo wrapped a thin quilt. They were very awkward. Ling Tianyi wanted to take his mobile phone and call Director Li again, but the phone was taken away.
Ling Tianyi wanted to hold Xia Xiaoluo and gave her some sense of security. However, as soon as he reached out his arm, he was beaten by a policeman. “Don’t move, I will shackle you if you move again.”
“Shackle me if you can!” Ling Tianyi yelled with red eyes.
“Darling, don’t quarrel with the policeman. When they find out the fact, they can let us go home.” Xia Xiaoluo said urgently. She was afraid that Ling Tianyi would be charged with attacking the police and be put in prison.
“Officer, we are really a husband and wife!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at the old policeman and felt that he was the leader here.
“Officer, our marriage certificate is at home. It’s true. If I cheat you, I will become a puppy! Officer, we are good people. Please, let us go! Is that all right?” Xia Xiaoluo begged him.
At this time, another young policeman took out Xia Xiaoluo’s student card. It was in Xia Xiaoluo’s pocket, because Ling Tianyi tore her clothes and dropped her student card on the floor, but the police found it.
“A student of Dwichen’s College? Eighteen years old? Are you kidding me?” The young policeman carried Xia Xiaoluo’s student card. “Is it a fake one? Students of Dwichen’s College should not be in such a cheap small hotel. Besides, you are eighteen, are you old enough to get married?”
“I’m really a student of Dwichen’s College, and I’m eighteen years old. Although it’s not old enough to get married in China, my husband and I registered in the United States. The marriage certificate is at home. It’s true, I didn’t cheat you.” Xia Xiaoluo kept explaining. She was crying, but the police still didn’t believe her.
“Darling, don’t speak to these rude people. You are casting pearls before swine!” Ling Tianyi said coldly.
“Listen, you guys, because Director Li and I knew each other very well, I didn’t want to punish you. But things happened like this, I will not let any of you go. I’m going to sue you to the end. Let’s wait and see!” Ling Tianyi said with his eyes full of cruelty.
The policemen didn’t take it seriously. These words could not hurt them at all. Because the hotel was too cheap, they didn’t take Ling Tianyi seriously at all. In addition, Ling Tianyi said just now that Director Li would come in ten minutes, and eventually, the director did not come at all. These policemen felt that Ling Tianyi was talking big, ignoring his threat.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of a nearby police station. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were pulled out of the car. Xia Xiaoluo pulled the thin quilt tightly for fear that she would be exposed when she was pushed.
After entering the police station, several policemen wanted to interrogate Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi separately.
Ling Tianyi immediately got angry again. The little girl would be interrogated by several big men with only a thin quilt covering her. If he was not present, he would be worried about her. His precious little wife couldn’t be bullied by other men, otherwise, he would go mad.
However, the police were so aggressive that they did not pay any attention to his objections at all. Ling Tianyi lost his temper this time. In order to protect the girl, he fought in the police station.
Ling Tianyi fought with many policemen in the police station. Although he had practiced fighting and had a strong physique, after all, he confronted with a group of well-trained policemen, so he lost his strength finally.
Ling Tianyi was arrested by several policemen with his arm locked behind him. The old policeman came up to Ling Tianyi and slapped him severely. “I’ve seen so many crazy people. But I’ve never seen such a crazy people like you.”
“You dare to beat me, b.a.s.t.a.r.d?” Ling Tianyi was completely angry. In this world, no one dared to beat him except his father. Besides, at this time, he was in front of his precious little wife, he felt shameful.
Ling Tianyi, like a mad lion, tried to get out of the control and his body was struggling to resist, “Let Li Peijiu come to see me. How dare you lynch on me, you old fellow. You’re dead.”
“Darling, you…” When Xia Xiaoluo saw Ling Tianyi being beaten, she couldn’t say how uncomfortable she was.
“Interrogate them separately!” The old policeman shouted.
“How dare you!” Ling Tianyi roared, and the old policeman showed no weakness. He grabbed Ling Tianyi’s hair and said ruthlessly, “I will let you see whether I dare or not?”
The old policeman was about to slap Ling Tianyi again, and Li Peijiu, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, rushed in, “Stop! Stop!”
Ling Tianyi looked up and saw Li Peijiu rushing in with sweat, biting his teeth to show his anger.
“Li Peijiu, you’re so fast! What a fast speed!” Ling Tianyi deliberately said in irony. If the Director could come earlier, he and the little girl would not have suffered so much.
“Manager Ling, um, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!” Director Li rushed to Ling Tianyi and threw aside the three policemen who suppressed Ling Tianyi with his eyes.
