...

After making the call, Cao Pangzi finally breathed a complete sigh of relief, and the fear on his face almost entirely dissipated.

The only thing that deeply frustrated him was his broken wrist dangling there, the intense pain making him extremely uncomfortable; he really wanted to go to the hospital for treatment.

But seeing Qin Fang's vigilant gaze, he knew he couldn't escape...

Moreover, he couldn't let Qin Fang get away; otherwise, even if his wrist healed, he would have no one to seek revenge on.

For the opportunity to watch Qin Fang kneel before him, desperately begging for his forgiveness, and then willingly offer up the beauties by his side... Cao Pangzi felt intoxicated just by the thought.

For these visions, what was a little wrist injury? Enduring the pain was nothing. He could truly relax only after venting all his anger and humiliation.

"Qin Fang, could it be..."

Seeing Cao Pangzi's gradually composed expression, Tang Feifei and the others became somewhat unsettle, especially the timid Wen Yan, who couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, Qin Fang will handle it..."

While her concerns weren't entirely unfounded, Tang Feifei had already grabbed Wen Yan and whispered reassuringly before Qin Fang even had to say a word; her tone was incredibly calm and her eyes steady, clearly not worried about how Qin Fang was dealing with the situation.

Xiao Muxue and Su Yuan also whispered among themselves, apparently also not too worried, showing the same confidence in Qin Fang.

Tang Feifei, hailing from a major family, was all for Qin Fang pursuing the matter to the end and had unwavering support for him, especially since Qin Fang was acting for their benefit.

Xiao Muxue knew something about the forces behind Qin Fang. While many believed Qin Fang's influence came from backing by the Tang Family, the memory of him, with no support in Southern Guangdong Province, still managed to beat the province's number one privileged young master, Zhang Yuliang, into a pig-headed mess.

Compared to a privileged young master like Zhang Yuliang, Cao Pangzi was just a newly-rich man with wealth...

In those capitalist countries, having money might mean everything, but in Dragon Country, that simply didn't work; even the former richest man of Dragon Country ended up thrown in jail, didn't he?

A mere coal tycoon and nouveau riche, on someone else's turf – no matter how arrogant he was, there were plenty of ways to deal with him!

Similarly, Su Yuan remembered the incidents that took place in the Capital City and how they led her to recognize and gradually fall for Qin Fang, so much so that she ran away to Ninghai...

Seeing her friends not worrying, Wen Yan, still a bit concerned, also started to feel at ease and quietly waited for the situation to unfold.

Though Wen Yan's voice wasn't loud, the sales office was small enough that both Qin Fang and Cao Pangzi could hear her, albeit with different reactions.

Qin Fang appeared very calm and didn't react, while Cao Pangzi's face darkened slightly, and his eyes kept darting around, as if his mind was racing.

Time flew by quickly, and about five minutes after Cao Pangzi's first call, a rush of screeching brakes was heard outside the sales office. Everyone looked outside to see two police cars stop, and about six or seven officers step out...

"Who called the police?"

Leading the group was a fat police officer with a physique similar to Cao Pangzi. Based on his rank insignia, he seemed to be the chief of a local police station. As he entered, a lean and small voice called out.

"Chief Zeng, you're finally here. It was me who called. He's been assaulting people..."

However, these police officers were clearly not the ones Cao Pangzi summoned, but had been brought by Manager Zhou instructing one of the sales ladies to make the call. This villa area was a key location, and a call managed to bring the chief himself to the scene. Manager Zhou quickly approached and stood decisively by Cao Pangzi's side, pointing at Qin Fang.

"Assaulting?"

Upon hearing that, Chief Zeng took a glance towards Qin Fang's direction.

He hadn't expected much, but one look over and his eyes bulged, almost instinctively wanting to retreat... but just as he stepped back, he hesitated and then retracted his step, walking towards Qin Fang with uncertainty, followed, of course, by his subordinates.

"Manager Zhou, is he the one who assaulted someone?"

Chief Zeng's changing expressions went unnoticed by his subordinates. One of the younger officers, eager to show off in front of their leader, confirmed with Manager Zhou before reaching for his handcuffs, ready to arrest someone.

"Shut up!"

Chief Zeng halted, immediately scolded him in a low voice, and then approached Qin Fang with a respectful tone, greeting, "Young Master Qin..."

Manager Zhou was quite familiar with Chief Zeng and didn't have a bad relationship with him, but he did not expect the chief not to arrest anyone, and instead to act like a subordinate.

"You know me?"

Qin Fang was considering whether to call Ye Xiang. After all, the police in Ninghai were under the leadership of his father, Ye Cheng, who was both the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the head of the city's police department, a man with considerable authority.

Qin Fang hadn't expected this Chief Zeng, whom he had absolutely no recollection of, to actually call out his name on the spot. Clearly, the man knew him, which made Qin Fang mutter in puzzlement.

"I'm old classmates with Zheng from the Nanhu Police Station..." Chief Zeng said cautiously.

Qin Fang then realized what was going on. Fang Feixue was actually within the jurisdiction of the Nanhu Police Station. When he had his opening, that Chief Zheng had even shown his support. Considering he was old acquaintances with Zeng, it wasn't surprising that Zeng knew him, Qin Fang.

"Oh, is that so... Well, Chief Zeng, tell me, this gentleman publicly harassed my girlfriend. What do you think should be done?"

Qin Fang nodded and remained silent, just quietly watching Cao Pangzi across from him, whose face was turning exceptionally ugly. The shift in the situation was making Cao Pangzi feel increasingly uneasy.

"Public indecency, this naturally calls for severe punishment without leniency..."

Chief Zeng immediately took Qin Fang's side, speaking very sternly. At a crucial time like this, he didn't care what the actual truth was; it was only logical to follow Qin Fang's lead.

"Chief Zeng, this Mr. Cao is a good friend of Director Chen..."

Manager Zhou was also panicking and quickly whispered a reminder to Chief Zeng, his tone even carrying a hint of threat.

"Young Master Qin, you're busy... There's something I need to take care of at the station, so I'll be taking my leave now!"

Chief Zeng's brow furrowed slightly after hearing this. He glanced at Cao Pangzi and, with a smile on his face, bid Qin Fang farewell politely as he made his hasty exit.

He wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but it was clear that Qin Fang and Cao Pangzi were having a high-level dispute. He couldn't afford to provoke either side, so it was best to quickly withdraw.

Squeak~~~

While there had been a slight delay, another round of screeching brakes sounded outside, and then a group of police officers rushed in swiftly. Qin Fang even saw someone pull out a gun... ready to take down terrorists.

"Director Peng..."

Chief Zeng hadn't made it to the door when he ran into these officers. His complexion immediately shifted, and he quickly approached the leader among them.

"Director Peng, you've finally arrived..."

Upon seeing the leading officer, Cao Pangzi's eyes immediately brightened. He stepped forward eagerly and even shouted loudly, as if fearing Qin Fang wouldn't realize this man was summoned by him.

"President Cao, sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Director Peng was quite considerate, extending his hand towards Cao Pangzi. He immediately noticed one of Cao Pangzi's wrists sagging and asked in surprise, "Oh, President Cao, your hand..."

"Director Peng, you must help me seek justice. That man broke my hand and he even wanted to break my other hand. Hurry up and arrest him... I'm going to sue him, sue until he's imprisoned!"

Cao Pangzi immediately put on a very aggrieved expression and spoke pitifully...

"Oh, is that so... Xiao Li, what are you waiting for, arrest him! President Cao is a major investor in Ninghai; we can't let him suffer any grievances!"

Director Peng glanced in Qin Fang's direction and, seeing that his clothes were simple and he didn't appear to be a person of status, immediately ordered without hesitation.

"And... Chief Zeng is in cahoots with that man!"

They say there's nothing worse than a petty man in power, and Cao Pangzi was that kind of person. Since Chief Zeng didn't help him just now, he was immediately resentful, and upon seeing Chief Zeng's superior, he wasted no time in getting him in trouble.

"Really, is that the case?"

Director Peng appeared to be slightly startled and turned to look at Chief Zeng beside him.

As an old hand in the bureaucratic arena, Peng knew very well when such incidents typically occurred, and he had an inkling that the other party must have some significant backing.

"Director Peng..."

Chief Zeng proactively stepped forward and whispered into Peng's ear. Peng's face changed dramatically upon hearing the words.

"Well... Xiao Li, come back..."

Seeing his subordinates about to apprehend Qin Fang, Director Peng also broke out in a cold sweat and hastily called back the police officers who were almost upon Qin Fang.

"Well... President Cao, there's a major case in my department that we need to crack. This is a minor dispute, try to settle it amongst yourselves!"

Not only that, Director Peng informed Cao Pangzi with this statement and then led his men away quickly without looking back...

"Sorry, your call didn't work... I'm dismantling this claw of yours!"

Witnessing the Director Peng summoned by Cao Pangzi leaving abruptly without another word, Qin Fang finally spoke to Cao Pangzi with a smile that was anything but well-intentioned...
