Although Hyun-Min Kim was hated by everyone, Ye Lingchen’s actions were obviously overkill.
The main reason was that he used excessive force. He might have been let off the hook if it were one or two slaps, but he assaulted Hyun-Min Kim so badly that the latter ended up looking like a pig.
Just as everyone was feeling awkward, a policeman suddenly rushed in from outside.
“Sergeant Gao, the people from the Warrior’s Department are here.”
Tap-tap-tap!
Sounds of footsteps were soon heard from outside.
Lin Ao entered briskly and looked at Ye Lingchen with a bitter smile. “You’re really something, aren’t you, Brother Ye. I told you to wait for me to send you back, but you ended up causing such a scene.”
Lin Ao went to drive the car and even made a special request to the Warrior’s Department for a helicopter, just to send Ye Lingchen home. Never did he expect something like that to happen so suddenly.
“As a warrior, I’ll take action when it’s required of me!” Ye Lingchen remarked bluntly.
“Hahaha, well, I enjoyed your approach greatly!” Lin Ao laughed. Then, his expression became serious and he directly told Sergeant Gao, “Sergeant Gao, I’ll bring him away now. As for Hyun-Min Kim, please wait for news from the higher-ups.”
“Chief Lin, this…” Sergeant Gao was at a loss.
“I suppose you’re still unaware of Brother Ye’s rank. You keep too low a profile, Brother Ye. No more hiding. Take it out right away,” Lin Ao said to Ye Lingchen.
A golden Upper-Class Sentinel badge was taken out and nearly blinded Sergeant Gao and the others.
“Up… Upper-Class Sentinel?!” Sergeant Gao was already mumbling incoherently and his tongue was trembling. He remembered that Ye Lingchen was just a Lower-Class Warrior last time. What was going on?
“Wow, Master. You’re an Upper-Class Sentinel now? ” Xu Nan jumped right away. She was excited, but at the same time found it hard to believe. Ye Lingchen had obtained sentinel rank and was already the highest rank below that of a general. “I have my work cut out for me with a towering figure like yourself.”
“Are there any other problems?” Lin Ao looked coldly at Sergeant Gao.
“No… None!” Sergeant Gao was trembling all over and saluted Ye Lingchen. “I’m sorry, Chief Ye, I was unaware of the situation before this.”
The title of Upper-Class Sentinel gave him the right to do what he did and was equivalent to having the authority to act first before reporting. No procedure was needed at all.
It was not that big of an issue if an ordinary person decided to scold Hyun-Min Kim for insulting China and the Chinese people. Despite that, things would change once that person laid a hand on Hyun-Min Kim. While policemen had to make an application before acting, a sentinel was not required to do so.
Aside from Hyun-Min Kim, anyone else who dared to insult China would give a sentinel enough reason to teach that person a lesson!
“It’s okay,” Ye Lingchen said casually, then paused before continuing, “Regarding my position, please don’t publicize it anywhere.”
“Yes, Sir!” Sergeant Gao immediately assured.
At that time, Hyun-Min Kim and the others were also being interrogated, but it was clear that they did not receive the same treatment as Ye Lingchen.
“Name?”
“Hyun-Min Kim.”
“Age?”
“Twenty-five years old.”
“Gender?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Why do you need to ask?”
“I can’t tell! Please cooperate and answer!”
It was then that Hyun-Min Kim and his bodyguards were stunned. They frowned and looked outside.
At that moment, Ye Lingchen swaggered past along with Lin Ao.
“Blablabla! Blabla! ” Hyun-Min Kim erupted into anger on the spot. He pointed at the interrogating policeman and began cursing him.
His bodyguards had a sullen expression too and they immediately vented their pent-up anger.
“What’s the meaning of this? Why is he allowed to go? He was the assaulter! We’re the victims!”
“You’re enforcing the law unfairly. I demand the presence of a lawyer. I want to sue all of you!”
“China is really rubbish!”
Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao’s halted their footsteps at the same time. They looked at the noisy interrogation room, then immediately pushed the door and barged in.
Both of them had a strong aura and the few people who had just clamored silenced at once. However, they stared at Ye Lingchen with full of animosity.
“Blablabla!”
Hyun-Min Kim shouted at Ye Lingchen and was none other than a warning.
Lin Ao stepped forward slowly and spoke without beating around the bush. He asked calmly, “Did you insult China?
“Look into my eyes and answer me!”
“I did, but…”
Slap!
It was a direct slap to Hyun-Min Kim’s face.
“Did you insult China? Answer me!”
“Yes, but…”
Slap!
With another slap, what remained of Hyun-Min Kim’s teeth were all knocked out.
The deed was done.
“Isn’t it easy to interrogate this kind of person?” Lin Ao’s tone was very calm. “As a Stick Nation star, he openly insulted China and the Chinese people on our Chinese territory. Does your behavior represent the attitude of your country? There has to be a good explanation for this.”
That fluttering sentence changed Hyun-Min Kim’s complexion drastically. His face turned gray, his mouth trembled, and he could no longer say anything else
He could not bear all that humiliation!
At the same time, he also realized that he was done for. His behavior had been condemned by the Chinese as total and utter ignominy.
After losing his status in China, he finally realized the severity of his actions. He had all but lost the support of the Chinese people, whom he had despised so much before, and lost his place in China. In the future, he would be a nobody.
It was easy to handle that because Hyun-Min Kim’s intentions were very obvious. Foreign stars like him were nothing but malignant tumors in China. Since he had insulted China, then all that was left to do was…shut him out!
After that, Ye Lingchen got into the car that Lin Ao had prepared for him, then boarded his special flight and went straight home.
It felt undeniably good to have status!
At Ye Lingchen’s home.
A little girl suddenly exclaimed, “Oh God! Look here. Is this Big Brother?”
“What’s so shocking?”
“Didn’t your brother just attend the Spring Festival Gala?”
Everyone at home gathered around.
At that glance, they were all stunned.
“It really is Little Ye. What happened to him? Why was he taken away by the police?”
“I’ll call him and ask.” Xu Zhen was so shocked that her face paled.
“Auntie, wait. Let me check what happened.” As soon as the little girl went online, all kinds of news began flooding in.
“Big Brother hit someone? How could he hit someone?”
Everyone huddled over immediately after hearing that. Grandpa, Grandma, and the other relatives dropped whatever they were doing and hurried over, whereupon they were greeted by a shocking scene!
His mother immediately cursed out, “This brat! How could he hit someone! He even attracted the attention of the police.”
His dad was silent and looked very worried.
“Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. There must be a reason why Lingchen did that. He’s never been an impulsive person,” Zhang Yunxi comforted them despite feeling very worried deep down.
“Still, he can’t go around beating people up. It’s only the start of the New Year and he’s already been called to the police station. What are we supposed to do?” His mother was about to burst into tears.
At that moment, the house door clicked, as though someone was unlocking it.
The door then swung open the next moment.
“Brother?!”
“Son!”
“Lingchen!”
…
