Chapter 174: Chapter 174: A Slap in the Face

"You... you forced me to do this," Xiao Ruolin’s face flushed, her eyes filled with a hint of indignant anger.

"I don’t care, you called out anyway, so now you’re my wife," Xiao Yifeng said with a shameless look on his face.

"Shameless!" Xiao Ruolin cursed under her breath, visibly furious, yet she found herself helpless against this man.

In less than ten minutes, another four or five police cars arrived, the scene grand and imposing, a group of officers with weapons rushed down.

Leading them was a man with a square face, solemn in demeanor, dressed in a police uniform, exuding an aggressive presence. It was none other than Director Luo Guanzhong of the Tianhai Police Headquarters.

"Director Luo, you’re finally here!"

Xu Ming saw Luo Guanzhong’s arrival, his face broke into a pleased expression, and he hurried over.

"Xu..." Luo Guanzhong was about to speak to Xu Ming when his gaze drifted to Xiao Yifeng standing in the distance. His expression changed, and he directly bypassed Xu Ming and walked over.

Huh?

Instantly, Xu Ming and the group from Xu Corporation all sported confused expressions, completely baffled by what was happening.

"Mr. Xiao, so you’re here too,"

Luo Guanzhong walked straight up to Xiao Yifeng, smiling as he spoke.

"Hello, Director Luo," Xiao Yifeng smiled back at Luo Guanzhong.

At this moment, everyone present was taken aback, especially Xu Ming; his face looked as if he had eaten pig excrement, his eyes filled with intense anger.

Luo Guanzhong was called here to help him, and yet upon arrival, instead of greeting him, he had gone straight to Xiao Yifeng and was all warmth and enthusiasm. This was a downright slap in the face for him. If word of this got out, Young Master Xu of the Xu Family would likely become the laughingstock of the town.

Dai Li, standing to the side, seemed to have anticipated this situation. However, Xiao Ruolin was visibly shocked to see Xiao Yifeng and the great director of the police headquarters acting so close and familiar.

"Director Luo!"

Xu Ming approached with a dark expression and said to Luo Guanzhong in a deep voice.

Only then did Luo Guanzhong seem to remember Xu Ming and turned to look at him, "Young Master Xu, sorry about just now, may I ask what you needed me for?"

Xu Ming’s face grew even uglier. He glanced at Xiao Yifeng and said, "This bastard and his accomplice here beat me to this extent. I want you to arrest them immediately."

"This..." Luo Guanzhong’s expression shifted slightly, he also hesitated.

"What’s the matter, Director Luo, you’re unwilling to handle even this matter? Or do you need my father to speak with you?"

Seeing Luo Guanzhong’s expression, Xu Ming knew that the director might not dare to lay a hand on Xiao Yifeng, just as Dai Li had not dared, so he directly mentioned his father.

But Xu Ming was also full of doubts in his heart. Xiao Yifeng was merely Miss Ye’s fiancé, not yet a member of the Ye Family. Dai Li, a precinct director, might have an excuse for not daring to touch him.

But for Luo Guanzhong, the prestigious head of Tianhai Police Headquarters, to show such warmth towards Xiao Yifeng was somewhat incomprehensible.

"I’m sorry, Young Master Xu, it seems this is all a misunderstanding. You’re still bleeding from your face, I suggest you go to the hospital to get bandaged up immediately," Luo Guanzhong told Xu Ming.

Luo Guanzhong’s words clearly indicated he had no intention of taking action against Xiao Yifeng. This directly enraged Xu Ming to the point of almost spitting blood.

A slap in the face! An absolutely naked slap in the face!

Xu Ming had never felt the humiliation he felt today, his gaze towards Luo Guanzhong was as if he wanted to devour the man: "Director Luo, do you really want to oppose my Xu Family?"

"I’m sorry, Young Master Xu, please don’t misunderstand, I am merely reporting on the case," Luo Guanzhong said earnestly.

In Tianhai, the Xu Family wielded significant influence. If he were dealing with someone else, Luo Guanzhong naturally wouldn’t want to offend the Xu Family, but Xiao Yifeng was different.

Although he was only officially the fiancé of Miss Ye of the Ye Family, he unexpectedly had connections with the young master of the Foss Family, one of the five great super-clans of Country M, which was truly astonishing.

What was the Foss Family? They were one of the five great super-clans of Country M, a Jumbo in this superpower country.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if the Foss Family so much as lifted a finger, they could crush the so-called Four Great Families of Tianhai, without any comparison.

Xiao Yifeng’s connection with the young master of the Foss Family meant he had the support of such a powerhouse. Compared to the Xu Family, he was even less willing to offend the Foss Family.

"Fine, very good! All of you just wait, I’ll remember this!"

Xu Ming dropped a fierce statement and was about to leave.

"Hold on!"

Xiao Yifeng spoke up at that moment.

"What else do you want to do?" Xu Ming glared at Xiao Yifeng with a face full of rage.

"The matter of the Fang Family’s house being burned down has not been clarified yet," Xiao Yifeng said.

"What does that have to do with me?" Xu Ming snorted coldly.

"Is that so? Then I would trouble Director Luo to thoroughly investigate this matter and see who the true mastermind is. We need to bring justice to the victims. And regarding the matter of the demolition compensation between the Xu Corporation and the slum area, I think it should also be thoroughly investigated."

Xiao Yifeng’s mouth curled into a smirk as he watched Xu Ming, whose face turned extremely unsightly.

"Director Luo, what do you think? Should we thoroughly investigate these issues?" Xiao Yifeng’s eyes shifted towards Luo Guanzhong.

Luo Guanzhong wouldn’t have attained his position if he were a fool; with a thought, he understood what was happening. Although he was reluctant to cross the Xu Family, at this point, he had no choice but to proceed.

"Mr. Xiao, you’re right. In order to bring justice to the citizens and everyone involved, I think it’s necessary..." Luo Guanzhong began, but Xu Ming interrupted him before he could finish.

"Just say it, what do you want to do?" Xu Ming’s fists were clenched tightly, his eyes fiercely fixed on Xiao Yifeng, his gums so hard pressed that his lips bled, clearly suppressing the fury within him.

"It’s quite simple. Since this house was burned down, my friends have nowhere to live. Let’s settle on five million as compensation," Xiao Yifeng said lightly, causing everyone to tongue-click in amazement.

To think that a burned-down house required five million in compensation; that money could practically buy a villa.

However, Xu Ming agreed immediately: "Fine, I’ll pay."

Five million was a lot, but it wasn’t a big deal to the Xu Corporation. Right now, Xu Ming could only grit his teeth and pay. Otherwise, if the police really started investigating, it would undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the Xu Corporation.

"Also, increase the demolition compensation for each household in the slum area by ten percent," Xiao Yifeng added.

"You... Xiao Yifeng, don’t go too far."

Xu Ming, barely able to hold back, shouted at Xiao Yifeng, his body trembling slightly with suppressed anger, fresh blood continuously flowing from his broken nose due to his extreme emotions.
