Li Faxian smiled sullenly, ignoring Xiao Jinhua, and turned his head to Qin Feng, "Brother Qin, this is really a misunderstanding..." Qin Feng struggled to keep himself from bursting out laughing. This fool just got a h.e.l.l of a scolding. Qin Feng"s keen could pick up on every word Jia Quan had screamed into the police chief"s ear.
Even then, the look on his face told Qin Feng everything he needed to know.
But Zhang Dali, Jia Dapeng and Xiao Jinhua were all stunned.
Jia Dapeng stared straight at Li Faxian as if he didn"t believe in his ears, expecting him to go on talking.
Qin Feng sat down by the door again. "Misunderstanding? Don"t you want to "take care" of me?" His tone was indifferent and his expression cold; he seemed to try to keep away from Li Faxian as much as possible.
What Li Faxian was most afraid of ow was Qin Feng"s att.i.tude. Jia Quan wanted him to make sure Qin Feng goes home without a grudge against them. Otherwise, he might walk out of the police station straight to Secretary Li, or even Secretary Liu, and make his complaints to them. Then, Li Faxian would be the one soaking up the fallout.
"No, no, no, there was really a misunderstanding! I was wrong, I apologize to you! We"d received a report that the Free Man Bar was employing street women to solicit pa.s.sersby. We are under a lot of pressure this time of year to keep the streets clean, so I am more sensitive to these kinds of reports and went over straight away. I have a bad temper, and I took it out on you, so... Anyway, this is my fault, all my fault. The Free Man Bar has been operating all these years and there"s never been a legal complaint against it. It is a model for nightclub management in Tianhe. We have made a terrible mistake…"
Li Faxian went on and on in the most modest and sincere tone he could muster, nodding and bowing to Qin Feng like a puppy dog waiting for its owner to throw it a bone.
The other officers listened in from the corridor with amazement. A minute ago, Director Li had the upper hand, but the next moment he was kowtowing to Qin Feng! What on earth is the meaning of this?
The two flatterers were even more flabbergasted. "What the h.e.l.l happened to Director Li? How can he bow to Qin Feng?"
"Right! As Director Li"s most loyal subordinates, how can we just go on watching this?"
"We cannot! We have to save Director Li!"
"No matter what, let"s get rid of Qin Feng first. How can we allow ourselves to be humiliated like this? This is bulls.h.i.t. If anyone outside the station finds out, we"ll be a laughingstock!"
The two were speaking louder and louder, heating up the atmosphere in the offices, as everyone could hear them. Everyone was ready to have at it again!
With a shout, a group of cops charged in, swinging their electric batons at Qin Feng!!!
"Stop!" Li Faxian cried out in a panic, but the men were too frenzied and didn"t hear him. Soon they surrounded Qin Feng.
Xiao Jinhua, cried out in a hurry, "What the h.e.l.l, Director? If you don"t call back your lynch mob, I"ll never let this rest! I will spread your ugly face all over the city, so everyone knows what you are!"
A positive public image was crucial for the Public Security Department. If word of this got out, it would certainly have a terrible impact on Li Faxian"s future.
Li Faxian quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed an electric baton away from the nearest man and pushed his way into the encirclement, threatening to electrocute his own men: "Get the h.e.l.l out, all of you! I"ll kill the next man who comes in here without my permission!"
The small crowd rapidly retreated from the sharp stabs of the director"s baton. Although they were completely astounded, this time they really understood Li"s intention. He was willing to bow his head and apologize to Qin Feng. They couldn"t understand what was going on, but Director Li must have been under immense pressure if he had to do something like this.
Soon, the station calmed down again.
Zhang Dali and Jia Dapeng shrank back into a corner and tried not to draw any attention. Jia Dapeng roughly described the call Qin Feng had made when he first captured him. After listening to it, Zhang Dali stared at him with his eyes wide. Li Faxian definitely caught s.h.i.t from Jia Quan for offending someone that powerful.
"Brother Qin, I was wrong! Can you forgive me? I beg you, will you leave the police station now? I will visit you soon to apologize, and invite you to dinner, and make amends for you," Li Faxian uttered in a trembling voice.
"Oh, is your zodiac a dog? What happened to the high and mighty Director? Where is he?" Qin Feng smirked. "One phone call scared you enough to grovel before me? You are not brave enough to be the director of a police station. Why do I feel that the fruit sellers on the roadside are tougher than you?"
In the face of Qin Feng"s provocation, Li Faxian, although his heart was filled with anger, did not dare to object. "Yes, I am a loser. I am so sorry, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Can we put this all behind us?"
Xiao Jinhua nearly burst out laughing. What is this farce?
Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Jinhua and muttered, "Having fun? This is called life, this is called face-beating. No one knows what will happen in the next moment of life. Therefore, without absolute certainty, you mustn"t talk too much. Just look at the face of this one in front of you. It"s really sad, isn"t it?"
She gave Qin Feng a delighted look. She had no idea what means Qin Feng had used to make Li Faxian act in this way, she believed that if Qin Feng dared to cause so much trouble, he had to have solid enough support to do so with confidence.
