As the crowd continued to gather, a number of journalists from media outlets had converged near the neighborhood, trying to push their way in.

Seeing this scene, Bauman felt increasingly nervous, and to say otherwise would be utter nonsense.

He knew Feng Yi was formidable and had heard of his reputation, but he hadn't expected him to be so unyielding, not even giving Dana the slightest regard.

Dana remained slightly silent, yet showed little reaction to Feng Yi's tough stance, saying, "That child has already been disciplined, what more do you want, sir? I hope you have a pleasant weekend without this affecting your mood."

"General Bauman just stated that even if Greedy Wolf were here today, he would still take me away, what do you say?"

What!?

At that moment, Dana felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

She had already watched the surveillance video in the car and had roughly understood the situation here, but she never imagined Bauman would say such a thing to Feng Yi!

Is he crazy? Of all people to provoke, why hit this steel wall named Feng Yi!

And who is Feng Yi? A war hero, a bloodthirsty general who emerged from piles of corpses, a figure who would dare to confront Kexiao, not someone a feeble administrator could compare to.

If Feng Yi truly decided to act, not even the president could protect him, let alone herself.

After a brief silence, Dana turned half her face in a near-mechanical manner, with eyes sharp enough to metaphorically kill, continuously questioning Bauman: who gave you the courage to trouble Feng Yi? Even I wouldn't dare!

At this point, Bauman didn't even dare to look up, let alone argue back.

Slap!

A resounding slap landed on Bauman's face.

Dana could no longer consider saving face or Bauman's status as a general, "Look at me!"

The moment Bauman looked up, another slap followed immediately, making Bauman wish to find a hole to crawl into, but that wasn't the worst part.

The worst part was even his mother was so fearful of Feng Yi, signifying the gravity of the situation was far from simple...

The young woman was utterly dumbfounded, not to mention her high-status uncle, even her grandmother was humbled to this extent.

In a moment, her understanding was overturned. Her grandmother was the vice president, second only to the president, yet why had she to be so deferential and humble to this man?

Suddenly, she felt regret, intense regret for blocking the way, and if that wasn't bad enough, for insisting on detaining that chubby guy, forcing things to this stage.

"Your Excellency Feng Yi, I hope you can forgive this ignorant fool."

"I've said before, I don't accept any apologies. Ms. Dana, there's no need for that."

Every matter has two sides; if I were an ordinary person, would it be settled so easily? The answer is obviously no.

Then, the problem becomes clear: Feng Yi is not unrelenting without reason; it's an equivalent response based on positional change.

As per usual with Feng Yi's firm stance, Dana did not rebut, only sighed softly and said, "Wouldn't Your Excellency consider, even for my little face?"

Feng Yi frowned, was this a soft threat?

"Ms. Dana, I hope you will consider the big picture, think from the left-wing position, and stop trying to cross my boundaries repeatedly."

Feng Yi's words suddenly startled Dana, as a left leader, she had no actual administrative authority. She also had to admit that if Feng Yi wanted her to step down, it would only be a matter of one sentence, and her public support would likely drop to an unprecedented low.

"Old Yan, take the people."

"Yes!"

With Feng Yi's command, the soldiers unhesitatingly escorted away Bauman and the young woman called Little Dina, their charge being assault on an important national leader.

Dana's face twitched...

But she knew even more about Feng Yi's character; what he says goes.

If she insisted further, the outcome might become even worse, and how bad that would be could be summed up in one sentence...

Even if Feng Yi had no reason to arrest people, public opinion would certainly all tilt towards him. Dana had not reached her position today by being foolish, rather, she was very wise.

It is precisely for this reason that her attitude was always very cooperative, very cordial.

"Bauman brought this upon himself; I have nothing more to say. However, as an elder, allow me to ask, how do you intend to handle them?"

"That will depend on their attitude, a few days of confinement and a written review, of course..."

When Feng Yi said the first two sentences, Dana sighed inwardly, feeling the punishment somewhat exaggerated.

Although Feng Yi didn't provide an out, in truth, the media wouldn't dare report this incident, and even if they did, it could be suppressed immediately.

"Of course... I don't want to see General Bauman in the military again; he voluntarily resigns, or I will initiate political charges against him in my capacity as Special Envoy."

But when Feng Yi uttered the third sentence, the tone clearly changed, and Dana's heart gave a thud.

Voluntary resignation or facing political charges as instigated by the Special Envoy, the severity of the options was evident at a glance.

Voluntary resignation implied abandoning this position.

Meanwhile, being politically charged by Feng Yi would implicate not only the left-wing but also taint her family, ending her tenure as vice president.

This was an unsolvable proposition, yet Feng Yi, due to Dana's sincere attitude, left her with two paths: step down voluntarily or be forced out.

"Chubby, Old Yan, let's go."

Dana felt her head buzzing, nearly exploding! A bout of dizziness... she swayed on the spot, half leaning on the already damaged luxury car, engulfed in unprecedented rage!

The source of Dana's anger wasn't Feng Yi but Bauman, and her arrogant and presumptuous granddaughter!

How much effort and dedication had she and her family invested in solidifying Bauman's military and political position? She had always maintained an incorruptible image, but precisely because of this, she overlooked many internal factors.

The only relief was that her granddaughter and Bauman were released that very night.

At Greedy Wolf's personal order, considering it was the God's Thorn legion making the arrest, it somewhat related to her, giving Dana enough face.

As a politician, Greedy Wolf had to consider deeper issues thoroughly, unlike Feng Yi's swift and decisive action.

However, it was merely returning the people; as for Bauman's issue, he didn't address a word, only explained to Dana that he had no right to interfere with the Special Envoy's enforcement.

As a city hunter, smashing luxury cars involved enforcement by deputization.

As a Special Envoy, arresting people was within his unilateral execution powers.

Upon disconnecting Heavenly Communication, Dana deferred all official duties, quietly waiting for Bauman and her granddaughter.

With the sound of footsteps approaching, she saw the two, her voice remained calm, calm to the point of despair.

"Bauman, from now on, I have nothing to do with you; find a farm and start farming."

"Mom, what are you saying?"

"Foolish! After all these years, are you still unaware you're in the limelight? I must sever ties with you now."

After speaking, Dana's gaze shifted to her granddaughter again: "As for you, you're not allowed to step outside the house for the next three years."
