Chapter 527: Where Is My Pride? Arrest Him!
Ling Yun was still being civil. His tone was more that of negotiation than anything else.
He was still maintaining his calm, but the situation was getting out of hand outside of Qingshui Restaurant!
Eight people flew out one after the other from the private room on the sixth floor of Qingshui Restaurant and into Qingshui Lake. Each of them flew further away from the previous.
Heat waves created ripples on the surface of Qingshui Lake. The speedboats shuffled quickly to rescue those in the water.
The commotion drew the attention of a luxurious cruise ship in Qingshui Lake.
“What’s happening outside?”
The new Director of the Public Security Bureau in Qingshui City showed a deep smile. He was Tang Tianhao, Tang Meng’s father. He too turned his head towards the scene outside when he heard his subordinates shouting about it.
Qingshui City was the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province. Tang Tianhao had now risen to be the top man in the Public Security Bureau of Qingshui City. That was a huge promotion.
It was all thanks to the downfall of Luo Zhong. The rascals who were following him were scurrying to find another wing they could take cover under.
Who better to get under the wing of than the Director of the Public Security Bureau?
People in the government were the most disloyal. They leaned where the power was.
Take Liu Jinlai, for example. He was the Director of the Qingxi District Public Security Bureau. He used to be in Luo Zhong’s camp, but he was now desperately clinging onto Tang Tianhao for protection.
Tang Tianhao was particularly busy during this period. He didn’t give Liu Jinlai any indication on his thoughts of him.
The golden opportunity for Liu Jinlai to present himself had finally come! Tang Tianhao was coming to the Qingxi District Public Security Bureau for an inspection!
That put Liu Jinlai in a good mood. He immediately decided to include a visit to Qingshui Lake to “inspect” the scope of security over the area. He could also take the opportunity to visit the lake, have a meal at Qingshui Restaurant, and to express his desires. Three birds with one stone.
Director Liu had given it some serious thought. He had arranged for the best private room in the restaurant through his subordinate while he accompanied Tang Tianhao.
He had just finished reporting his scope of work and was about to propose having a “light meal” when things happened.
Liu Jinlai had noticed the chaos around the lake. He was praying it would die off, but he knew the game was up when the eighth consecutive person fell into the lake.
The cabin of the cruise ship was air-conditioned, but cold sweat dripped down Liu Jinlai’s back. He swallowed and gave his subordinate a look.
“Capital Zhao, go take a look!” Liu Jinlai instructed.
Tang Tianhao had already realized that there were people falling into the water. However, the timing between their falls was too tight. He didn’t know where they fell from.
“There’s no need to take a look. People fell into the water. Rescue them immediately…” Tang Tianhao’s face darkened in a second.
The cruise ship went at full speed towards Qingshui Restaurant.
The cruise ship was worlds apart from the speedboat. They had already been rescued when the cruise ship finally approached.
Tang Tianhao was out of the cabin at this point. He stood at the bow and frowned at the shivering people onshore. “Approach the shore and ask them what exactly happened!”
Tang Tianhao could hear comments from the people on the speedboat. They were saying that the victims had fallen from Qingshui Restaurant. He felt so fortunate that no life was lost. Otherwise, his position would be threatened.
A fat figure fell from a high altitude!
“Bam!”
“Swoosh!”
A loud noise sounded near the cruise ship, and a huge ripple appeared. Someone else fell into the lake!
“Ah! Another one!” exclaimed one tourist. They had gathered around the shore to watch the commotion instead of touring the place.
Even Tang Tianhao was shocked. It was lucky that they fell into the lake and not the ship. That person would die from the fall if it was the latter case!
Ling Yun’s divine sense covered over twenty square meters. He naturally wouldn’t have thrown someone onto the ship.
The last one to fall was Zhang Dengke. He knew that he had kicked the iron plate and pleaded for mercy immediately. He even gave Liu Jinlai’s name.
How could Ling Yun let the leader of the group who angered him go if he had already sent the rest into Qingshui Lake?
Why would he be afraid of the Qingxi District Public Security Bureau if he wasn’t afraid of the Chen Family and the Long Family?
That was why Ling Yun tolerated no more nonsense from him. He simply threw him out of the window after a few slaps.
“A bunch of rude people. I sent them for a free swim on such a hot day and not one word of thanks…”
Ling Yun was refreshed. He patted his hands gently and gave the beautiful waitress a sweet smile. “Can you bring the dishes now, beautiful?”
Ling Yun’s nonchalant attitude towards the whole charade stunned the waitress.
However, she was actually happy. Zhang Dengke dined there frequently, and he had taken advantage of her one time too many. Ling Yun’s actions were also a satisfying treat for her.
“Erm, give me a moment, Sir. I’ll hurry to the kitchen…” The waitress nodded, still in awe.
Xue Meining stood by the window, cheering happily. “That Zhang really fell into the water. He hasn’t emerged yet…”
“Oh, he’s up, he’s up! He’s screaming for help while struggling… He deserves it!”
“Alright, Ning Er, it’s too noisy outside. Shut the windows and have some food. You have to go back to class in the afternoon!” Ling Yun said merrily.
Miao Xiaomiao wasn’t interested in the least. She rolled her eyes at Ling Yun and said in a scolding tone, “Satisfied? The police will definitely find us later. I’ll see how you handle it then!”
Ling Yun laughed in response. He picked up the glass of water from the table and drank it all.
Ling Yun only moved slightly from his seat during the whole process.
“Ling Yun, I suggest you not be high profile. Many high-level martial arts masters arrived in Qingshui City recently. Don’t give them a reason to make you a target…”
Miao Xiaomiao reminded Ling Yun with telepathy after seeing how he derived his high from such games.
Many high-level martial arts masters? Eighty percent of them were probably coming for him anyway. It was useless to remain low-key
According to his plans, Mansion Number One would be very lively tonight. Many people might die. He was just practicing.
“Thanks for the reminder, but you don’t need to worry. Just wait patiently for the food to arrive…” Ling Yun flashed a huge smile.
Outside Qingshui Restaurant, at the lakeside.
Liu Jinlai’s face was green. He never thought that the people who fell into the waters would be his men!
Tang Tianhao was here on his invitation to inspect the security of the environment. How could the inspection go on if his own men were thrown out of the restaurant?
The City Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau weren’t police, but they were responsible for public security of the city. Where was the law if his men were beaten? Where was he going to put his face?
Liu Jinlai became even more furious after seeing Zhang Dengke being fished out with blood at the corner of his mouth.
“Captain Zhang, w-what is this? Speak!”
Tang Tianhao recognized Zhang Dengke. He knew everyone who was at least a captain in the security system of Qingshui City.
Tang Tianhao’s face darkened considerably, but he stood there watching Liu Jinlai lose his temper without any indication.
“We were at Qingshui Restaurant to book a room, but a young rascal came out of nowhere, beat us, and threw us out of the sixth floor of the restaurant…”
Zhang Dengke summarized the whole situation without any mention of his wrongdoing. He pushed all the blame onto Ling Yun.
Liu Jinlai wasn’t stupid. He knew that something was up. Nonetheless, this opponent was someone dangerous since he could do this to his people.
A fierce glare flashed past his face!
“What rubbish! Is the law dead? Captain Zhao!”
“Yes!”
Captain Zhao from the Public Security Brigade had a good relationship with Zhang Dengke. His face was already red with anger.
It was also his opportunity to shine with the presence of the Director of the Public Security Bureau.
“Arrest him!” Liu Jinlai issued his order!
