Chapter 236: Yang Qingyue being awesome
Yang Qingyue kept silent under Ling Qingyu's eyes but she couldn't bear it any longer. She had fought against those types of bullies since childhood without fear.
Perhaps her strong background had allowed her to survive and retain the essential innocence and longing for true righteousness. Now, someone dared to bully Ling Qingyu in front of her, and the urge to beat the fat guy flared up again.
But she wasn't young anymore; her position also restricted her actions. She couldn't act without restraints any longer.
As a police chief and high-level official, her actions must abide by the rules. She stood up and pulled away Ling Qingyu, covering with her body as she whispered. "I'll take care of this."
Ling Qingyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tang Ziyi, who understood what she wanted. All black materials of the fat man could be uncovered soon. But since Yang Qingyue stepped in, she had to show restraint too, since she promised she wouldn't no longer cause illegal acts.
She hadn't even asked Yang Qingyue for forgiveness for the hacking events in the past few days. If she did it again, she had a premonition, that things would go in a direction which she would dislike. The two parties could even become estranged.
Compared with her precious relationship, what was the matter with the fat man's life? Besides, the moment she made a move, it was an overkill like slaughtering the mosquitoes with the cannon power. She didn't plan to bother this guy any longer.
Somehow when Yang Qingyue posed in front of her, Ling Qingyu felt warmth in her heart. Yang Qingyue's action shone a light in her eyes.
"Who are you to talk with me in this serious tone? Don't think with your friend's protection, I can't do anything at you." The fat man said in anger. "Even if your friend is rich and talented, she needs time to grow. The fewer people offended the better for her."
A collective slap on the forehead rang inside the minds of the onlookers. You, fat man, were really courageous. You formed a feud with a ruthless businesswoman. Now, you fought against the police chief whose limelight even capital must give face.
Everyone who hadn't noticed the commotion going on had realized by now and were nearing with their ears perked. Even Mr. Shen was alarmed and hurried to the scene. He was about to save Ling Qingyu from the fat man's action but Yang Qingyue took the first step.
He could only watch from the sideline. He wasn't too worried for Ling Qingyu since he understood her ability. He regretted he lost the chance to show off and handed the scenes over to Yang Qingyue.
"Oh! I'm not qualified?" Yang Qingyue muttered in mockery. "Maybe I haven't worked for long, some people can't recognize me. I don't know, this Mister, as a chief of police in City N, do I fit your requirements?"
The fat man blinked his eyes in confusion and stared at Yang Qingyue in shock, almost dropping his glass. "You…You're the police chief, the new witch Yang—ahem—I mean the new excellent talent from the capital."
Yang Qingyue's face instantly darkened, but Ling Qingyu laughed softly, drawing her glare. Ling Qingyu flashed a thumbs-up for the fat man, possessing such immense courage. Not only her, but the rest of the girls giggled at Yang Qingyue's new title.
This showed how much horror Yang Qingyue brought with her every move. Furthermore, Yang Qingyue's guilt of slightly exploiting her power diminished. This fat man dared to call out the nickname, which meant he was also in the same party as her enemies.
"Well, people can attest to my identity. I'm sure." Those in the surroundings, who were paying attention, nodded. "If I haven't misheard, did I listen to someone threatening others, abusing their powers and wealth with confidence?" Yang Qingyue asked with an intriguing smile.
The fat man stood up and shook his head, bending his waist slightly and waving her wrist in disagreement. "You heard it wrong, Chief Yang. How could I, as a responsible citizen, make threats to others? Those having strength must abide by their responsibilities. Else, I will be ashamed of myself." The man said righteously.
By now, if the fatty didn't understand he had kicked an S-tier steeled plate, no heavy steeled block, he should sell his business. Others were embarrassed at the man's thick skin. Literally, he had one though. There were no mistakes in his expression when he confused right and wrong.
"Are you certain, Mister?" Yang Qingyue stepped closer, without losing a smile, and pressed harder. "What about the wine that my Sister Ling must drink?"
"Ahem— hehe…Forgive me if I haven't made myself clear. I was merely joking. As my peer, I hope to enhance our relationship. There's a saying, becoming friends after drinking wine." The man quibbled. "Yes, I intend to make friends with this lady and exchange our business views. There's no conflict."
Yang Qingyue was non-commital with his denial. Which sane person dared to repeat his previous words in front of law enforcement, particularly the real powerful one too.
If the man thought the commotion would end here because he said so. It was terribly wrong. "No, no, I'm of the opposite opinion. Threatening others whether through manipulation or coercion is a felony. I have a feeling this isn't your first time. You might have done the same thing on some poor girls."
Yang Qingyue added: "Based on your tones, I made an inference, a plausible reason to detain you. Your views tell me forcing women with a cane and placating them with a carrot seems like your usual tactics resembling a sexual predator, Sir. I'm sure with further investigations, more hidden cases will be uncovered."
The man lost composure and quickly refuted. "With all due respect Ma'am, you have no evidence whatsoever that pointed out I said as you depicted." Read latest chapters at m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net
"Even with the testimonies, witnesses can give? Not very smart of you."
"I'm a businessman; I made many enemies."
"And my sister beside me too?" Yang Qingyue narrowed her eyes.
"It's an allegation! And it was just a joke." The man stammered. He knew he was in crisis the moment Yang Qingyue admitted her identity.
"I think not, on the contrary. Sorry to disappoint you." Yang Qingyue took out her phone and played the recording. All the voices during which the man unceremoniously threatened Ling Qingyu in various manners were included. "From the serious tones and the CCTV recording here, and my personal sight, I saw no jokes. And I don't have time to fabricate the audio recording, do I?"
The man was completely at a loss and he sat down, wobbling the chair. His eyes searched for rescue from around. Everyone avoided the gaze.
Ling Qingyu widened her eyes at Yang Qingyue's swift method. She was indeed impressed. The young police chief acted thoroughly and strategically, leaving the man in an enclosed corner.
Yang Qingyue dialed a number and spoke while waiting for the other end to receive it. "Sir, I hope you come to our station where we need to talk in detail. Your behavior can be attributed to sex trafficking."
"What trafficking? I didn't even hurl the women around."
"I sure hope you didn't or you'll never end very well." Yang Qingyue said. "But I can still press charge for it. Manipulating women through coercion, controlling their wealth, and making a threat, indirectly asking for intercourse already allow such allegation.
"Hello, Sister Cai. Hmm, nothing emergency happening. I need a team of officers to come to me. We need to take a statement from someone at the police station."
While Yang Qingyue talked on the phone, the man panicked. He wasn't frightened of the sexual allegation because, through his lawyers, he could easily defeat or elongate the process with money.
However, being taken to the station in public meant a serious demise for him. The resulting losses because of Yang Qingyue's action weren't something any rich people could tolerate.
