Chapter 75: Retribution Arrives

返回章节列表
?Mobile reading Xiao Hei’s fears stem from two sources. First, Qin Feng’s strong presence—he doesn’t just dare to fight black-market thugs; he also regularly takes on white-collar officials. If he has no backing, Xiao Hei simply won’t believe it. Who, after all, dares to be so assertive without a powerful network behind them? Second, Zhang Shuo has already acknowledged being a part-time police officer, and it’s certain that soon he will turn him in as his brother, along with revealing the collusion they discussed over the phone. Just as Xiao Hei was trembling with anxiety, sirens sounded outside. When the part-time officer’s call reached the police station, a patrol unit was already nearby, just a few hundred meters away. Upon receiving the order, they immediately drove over. Several officers disembarked and cordoned off the Red Mage Castle, surrounding it completely. Compared to their earlier unimpressive demeanor, these officers showed a noticeable improvement in energy and composure today. All this thanks to four lazy auxiliary officers. As the saying goes, "It's not that you don't know a good thing when you see it—sometimes you just don't compare apples to apples." If they were pitted against the well-equipped special police, these guys would surely look like ordinary chickens. "Which terrorist attacked the officers? Step forward!" The leading officer was a deputy captain, holding a rank comparable to that of the officer we've known as "Shu." As soon as he entered, he began shouting loudly. In Xiao Hei's mind, confidence returned instantly. Pointing toward the private dining room, he said, "The people are inside. Several auxiliary officers were badly injured. Go in now and deal with the perpetrators!" He was always good at stirring up the situation—this was something everyone enjoyed, and he was no exception. With a glance from the deputy captain, several of his subordinates drew their weapons. Since the officers had already been attacked, they couldn't afford to be polite to the people inside—firing shots was certain, though it would only be used to intimidate. Just as he took a step into the dining room, a gun barrel suddenly pressed against his forehead from inside. The cool, refreshing sensation surged straight up to the heavens, and even the deputy captain, who had seen his fair share of big moments, lost his footing. Hadn't he gently held onto the doorframe with one hand, he might have already knelt at the threshold. "Such impressive authority! You don't even seem to have a grasp of the situation, yet you label me a terrorist. Do you think you're the chief justice of the Supreme Court?" Qin, the young officer, said coldly. Several officers behind quickly loaded their rifles, but the doorway was blocked by the captain's massive frame, leaving them helpless and unable to take any action along the corridor. Though trembling, the deputy commander maintained a confident expression. Qin Feng smiled: "What if I'm legally authorized to carry a weapon?" How could he possibly be? A document now appeared in his hands. With deliberate emphasis, Qin Feng said: "Fatty, open your eyes and take a good look! Without inquiry, without investigation, you simply label a commissioned officer—this is your police department's usual approach?" The fat officer's sweat broke out as he saw the words "Direct Unit of the Ministry of National Defense." After all, we were internal security personnel! That's why they had guns. That's why, when facing challenges from auxiliary police officers, they acted so decisively and without hesitation. That's why... Without verification, simply assigning a status—this truly was a mistake on the part of the police. Of course, if the other party were ordinary citizens, there wouldn't be much to it—common folks rarely make a big splash, and even if you were wronged, you'd have to bear it patiently. But here we have an officer from the Internal Security Force. Though his rank isn't high, he's a Beijing official in a yellow coat, someone we can't easily afford to upset as a minor player. Thinking of this, the fat pig's cold sweat poured out in steady streams. He smiled warmly and said, "It's a misunderstanding! A complete misunderstanding! Captain Qin, please take your gun and put it away. This is truly a case of mutual acquaintance—we've never met before, and now we're on good terms. As for the others, hurry up and pack up your equipment—should anything go wrong, no one among you will be able to handle it!" The police who had previously been on high alert immediately changed their demeanor, transforming as swiftly as one might expect. Xiao Hei's dream of a smooth resolution once again faded away. Though he didn't know exactly what had transpired, he could clearly see from the police's behavior that the officer in question was truly someone who couldn't be taken lightly. He really wanted to give himself two slaps—purely due to his own colorblindness. Now, he was just waiting to be dealt with. Four auxiliary police officers were escorted out. The stout officer wiped his sweat and told Qin, the young noble, “These temporary staff are simply inattentive—they bumped into Major Qin. Fortunately, it didn’t escalate into a serious crisis. But Major Qin, please rest assured—I won’t let these four young men off easy. Our bureau director will also provide you with a satisfactory resolution. These four will be dismissed immediately.” Especially Fang Fang, the one who initiated the absence from classes, had always believed she would never experience the misstep of poor social choices—only now does she realize how treacherous people can be. The "Pig Leader," confidently assuring Qin Feng, said, "Don't worry, this young man will definitely have a bad outcome. We'll ask the court to handle it severely." At that moment, suddenly, someone outside shouted, "It's on fire! Everyone, hurry up and get out!" A thick smoke soon poured in, choking everyone as the old wiring short-circuited and sparked, igniting the substandard interior materials. "You guys stay back and alert the other guests!" Qin Feng immediately issued orders to the police without hesitation, then grabbed Fang Fei and the other two, and dashed out. A few minutes later, everyone had safely evacuated. Xiao Hei kept urging the police to ask the fire department to come as quickly as possible. The fat pig was about to carry out the plan when Qin Feng pulled him back and whispered, "I think we should delay the fire department's arrival a bit, so as to give a lesson to the other store owners on this street. What do you think?" The fat pig understood immediately—this man clearly wanted to retaliate against Red Mage Castle—yet he kept his expression neutral, smiling warmly, "I see. After all, there's no fire protection here at all. To be burned to the ground is just fate. It's only fair to warn the other stores." Thus, the thick smoke from Red Mage Castle gradually gave way to bright flames. When the fire department finally arrived "on time," the buildings had already been reduced to hollow shells, their walls blackened and bare.
