Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 524: Is It Illegal to Insult Someone?_1

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Is It Illegal to Insult Someone?_1

There are as many as four hundred and fifty Duma Members, but only a handful are famous, powerful, and often in the news.

Unfortunately, this young man happens to be among those few...

Don’t blame him for his lack of insight, for not recognizing right away that this was none other than Mr. Mikhail, the most popular member of the Duma currently.

He’s just a lowly cop, after all, who doesn’t concern himself too much with national matters and has no opportunity to come in contact with big shots like Mr. Mikhail.

He had only seen Mikhail a few times on TV and in the newspaper, and the difference between people on the screen and in reality can be quite significant; it is perfectly normal not to recognize him immediately.

So it never crossed his mind that responding to a call would lead him to encounter such a big shot...

Moreover, he had momentarily lost his head, considering putting handcuffs on Mr. Mikhail...

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, his slightly round face drenched, he looked just as messed up as the beaten Andrew.

He grinned, giving off a confusing expression of laughter or tears.

He sneakily reached out his hand, picked up the handcuffs that were just placed on the table and prepared to stash it away.

He also blurted out: "Sorry, Mr. Mikhail, it’s all a misunderstanding... misunderstanding. I wasn’t supposed to be on duty today. It’s all because of Andrew here who called the police recklessly. Oh, I don’t know him at all, not close, not close!"

He himself didn’t even understand what he was saying.

Andrew, who was wiping the blood off his face with a white napkin and holding it to his head, hadn’t noticed what had just happened.

Hearing the words of the director, he turned his head in surprise and asked, "What are you saying, Director? We’ve had drinks together so many times. Are we not close? Anyway, whether we are close does not matter, you should enforce the law impartially. This guy commanded others to beat me up. This is certainly a crime."

The director wished he could smack Andrew in the face.

However, in front of Mr. Mikhail, he dared not act rashly lest there be any misunderstandings...

He glared hard at Andrew and sternly said:

"Sir, please keep calm and do not speak without thinking! "

"I’m here to inform you, this is Mr. Mikhail, a Duma Member, a member of the Economic Committee, how could he possibly hit you!

You must have instigated this. You did something, didn’t you? The security personnel of Mr. Mikhail weren’t assaulting you, they were just performing their duties, protecting the security of Mr. Mikhail!"

Andrew went blank, he was just a small businessman who hardly concerned himself with politics.

His awareness of national matters was likely limited to rumors about the Kremlin.

He had heard of this Mr. Mikhail reportedly the super-rich second generation, Khodorkovsky’s actual nephew.

At the time, he had cynically stated how lucky it was to have a nice uncle!

He had never expected to encounter this legendary figure in these circumstances today!

Even more outrageous was that he had abused him and provoked conflict with him...

"Uh...is it against the law to curse at someone? I just accidentally cursed him out a few times." Andrew murmured.

Hearing this, the Chief thought, well, you actually insulted Mr. Mikhail deliberately!

He "whooshed" swiftly picked up the handcuffs again and cuffed Andrew with a "click".

While doing so, he grumbled, "Scoundrel! Insulting others may not be illegal, but insulting a Duma Member is provoking the authority of the Duma and is definitely illegal! As for what law you violated, let the judge explain that to you!"

Uh, actually he didn’t know whether abusing went against the law or not.

But given the current situation, it is definitely illegal!

Otherwise, he was afraid Mr. Mikhail may not let it pass, and that he might get implicated!

For big shots like this, they probably don’t even need to utter a word; just an unhappy expression would be enough.

The head of his division could throw him into a cage because of this!

He had absolutely no doubt about that...

He could only apologize to Andrew then. Friends may die, but he must survive! It was all because of Andrew stirring up trouble today!

If it was not him who called, he wouldn’t wade into such muddy waters!

So, he had an idea; the best solution he could think of was to quickly arrest this foolish Andrew!

That would also serve as an explanation to Mr. Mikhail and let him vent his anger, so he’d stop pursuing the matter.

......

Wang Ye smiled slightly, seeing the cunning plan of the director clearly.

However, he did not plan to probe further, and he was not a petty person.

Pursuing an argument with this type of person would make him seem lacking in magnanimity and stature.

He nonchalantly said: "About this matter, prepare a report later and have your division chief deliver it to the office of the Duma."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Mikhail, rest assured, I definitely will not let this guy go easily. I will lock him up for at least a few months to reflect on his actions!" the director obsequiously flattered.

After the director left with Andrew in custody, the restaurant became quiet again as if nothing had happened.

The restaurant manager, who had just witnessed firsthand the entire sequence of events, understood the supreme status of this overly youthful man.

After Andrew and the others left, the hall manager also cautiously came over, bent over, and chuckled as he said:

"Mr. Mikhail, I am truly sorry for letting that person disturb your meal, it was our restaurant’s fault.

In order to express our apology, this meal is on the house. Furthermore, please feel free to instruct me on anything you need.

Your dining at our restaurant is our greatest honor!"

Wang Ye waved his hand, saying gently: "It’s alright, it has nothing to do with your restaurant. There’s no need for the free meal. Just that the steak that was served earlier became a bit cold because of the delay. Please replace it with a new one."

The hall manager immediately nodded, picked up the steak, and left.

Nalan Yaqi and Ruan Xiaozhu watched as the events unfolded, leaving them with mixed feelings and speechless for a long time.

Both of them were students. When they first came to Moscow, the senior students advised everyone to be careful and mindful outside, to not invite trouble.

And when encountering the police, they were taught to obey their instructions without resistance because those people were unreasonable.

Indeed, many students had been thrown into the cage by the police. For no reason, they would not allow you to leave unless you paid a fine...

But now watching how those people acted in front of Wang Ye...

All one could say was, that’s the charm of power!
