Chapter 1415: Chapter 687: Unless I Can Fly

Provincial City, a police car sped out of the city area with the flow of traffic and onto the national highway.

Inside the car, the young driver spoke, "Captain Hu, are we going by ourselves?"

Seated behind, a middle-aged man spoke nonchalantly, "Just pretend we’re on vacation. We’ve been so busy lately, and today happens to be our turn to have a day off. It’s a good chance to go out, take a drive and enjoy some scenery."

The young man looked puzzled, "Captain Hu, you?"

"What’s with me?" Captain Hu said with a smile. "Can’t I take a rest? Or is it that you can’t rest? After being so busy for a long time, we also need to relax and refresh our minds. Staying busy doesn’t always mean higher work efficiency, proper rest is needed too!"

"Aren’t we going to handle a case?" the young man was even more confused.

"Ha, Xiaohu," Captain Hu laughed heartily. "No need to call me Captain Hu in private; just call me Brother Hu. You’re Xiaohu, and I’m Old Hu; let’s both sneak in a little laziness. There’s nothing urgent on the road, so I’ll take this chance to have a good chat with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu stopped talking and listened quietly to the man who called himself Old Hu speak.

"Do you feel like I’m a workaholic who only knows how to handle cases and not rest, and now you can’t understand my attitude, right?" Old Hu said with a smile. "Actually, it’s simple. The case we are going to handle today, you’re not too clear about the people involved, right?"

Xiaohu shook his head.

"Let me tell you about it. This Boss Zeng, the one who got beaten up so miserably, I contacted an old comrade-in-arms in Wan City and found out that he doesn’t have a great reputation over there either. The businesses he’s involved in are all quite shady. On the other hand, the one he’s accusing, Boss Yan, has a much better reputation there. Not only is he a leading figure in wealth attainment, but he’s also published many articles in various magazines, quite the young talent."

As Old Hu spoke, he shifted into a more comfortable position and took a sip of tea from his cup before continuing, "Although we don’t consider these things when handling a case, clearly behind Boss Zeng is Director Zeng supporting his complaint, while Boss Yan holds high prestige in the community as a role model for wealth attainment. This case isn’t anything serious. We’re just showing our attitude. If they have the capabilities, let them arm-wrestle it out themselves; we won’t meddle in their messy affairs."

Xiaohu, still unclear about it all, listened as Old Hu continued, "In fact, there are other details to this case. Boss Zeng’s son got into a fight at the entrance of a hotel, slightly damaging Boss Yan’s car. That night, the hotel incidentally was the scene of an operation by colleagues from Wan City to capture a criminal gang, and their fight almost compromised the operation."

"Afterwards, Boss Yan approached Boss Zeng to cover the car repair costs, which were under twenty thousand yuan, but Boss Zeng wouldn’t give him face and refused to pay. Then Boss Yan even spread word of a threat against Boss Zeng, and with Director Zeng in a critical period for promotion, worried about his own brother’s reputation, he ran to our jurisdiction. And unexpectedly, after arriving here, he was beaten until even his parents wouldn’t recognize him."

Xiaohu asked in surprise, "Didn’t you just say that the car was only slightly damaged? How come the repair costs are as much as one or two ten thousand?"

Old Hu laughed, "You think Boss Yan is a simple man? His business is huge, and he drives cars worth over a million."

Xiaohu inwardly clicked his tongue and continued to ask, "So, are we just going to deal with it perfunctorily?"

"What’s wrong with that?" Old Hu smiled. "If Boss Zeng was running a legitimate business, or if he was just an average citizen, we wouldn’t be taking this attitude. Usually, he isn’t someone who abides by laws and principles, and he’s no stranger to shady dealings. Now he’s at a loss and decides to report the case? We could better spend our time resting a bit, refreshing our minds to serve the people."

"Do you think that because the case involves two well-known figures, it’s a big deal? That depends on the circumstances. Do you think the Zeng brothers came to report the case because they truly expect us to deliver justice for them? It’s nothing more than a desire to annoy Boss Yan. In their case, acting as their pawn is less meaningful than catching a thief on the streets."

Xiaohu, seemingly understanding, nodded thoughtfully while driving and pondering.

At the same time, Lin Baoguo from the police station at the city’s bus station received a task to wait at the western junction of Sancha River Township to assist colleagues from Provincial City with a case.

The details of the case were straightforward. It was said that last night, Wancheng City’s ’well-known figure’ Boss Zeng was in Provincial City, going out for drinks and fun. Unexpectedly, on his way back, at an alley less than two hundred meters from his brother’s house, he encountered Boss Yan with a masked face who blocked his car, dragged him out, and gave him a beating - said to be quite brutal.

One might wonder how Boss Yan was recognized despite wearing a mask. It’s said that during the beating, he intentionally told Boss Zeng, "I’m Yan Fei. You deserved this for not paying back the money you owe me."

Reportedly, before leaving, Boss Yan declared that the ordeal wouldn’t end until his money was returned, otherwise once Boss Zeng recovered, he would come back for another beating.

Moreover, alongside Boss Zeng, his personal bodyguard and driver were also present and suffered a similar fate. Boss Yan chastised him for enabling Boss Zeng’s actions and declared that working for such a man was irresponsible, and getting beaten was deserved.

Both victims were adamant that their assailant was none other than Boss Yan.
