Chapter 292: Chapter 293: Who is More Dominant_1

Thanks to "YVHANG." "Grim Reaper, Ghost Retainer" "Listening to Her, Time Had Passed" "Love What Ever" "Polishing Jade", for the brothers’ support at the event. Thank you, brothers, for your support!

After all, if the restaurant took Li Changlin’s side, they would definitely offend the other party. It’s likely that the Long Family and Wang Family associated with the restaurant had some unclear connections with the other party’s family.

And if the restaurant took the standpoint of the other side, the matter would probably escalate even more. So the restaurant decided not to intervene, as long as both parties didn’t cause an uncontrollable scene, they’d just turn a blind eye.

Actually, Zhou Xingxing and Zhao Pu’s guesses were quite accurate. At this moment, in the office area on the sixth floor of the restaurant, the head of security was reporting the incident that had just occurred on the third floor to the deputy general manager.

The head of security and the deputy general manager were both from the Wang Family, and they naturally recognized Duan Rongxuan and Duan Hongsheng as well.

"You handled this matter well, but since the Duan Family has suffered a loss in our restaurant, it’s always difficult to explain. So you should immediately call the Duan Family, explain the situation here. I am sure the Duan Family will understand our position. Right, keep a close watch on Room 8, don’t let them leave easily," the deputy general manager pondered briefly, then quickly made a decision.

"What if they want to settle the bill and leave now?" The head of security could guess the deputy general manager’s intent, but today’s incident was Duan Rongxuan’s fault. If Silver Thread Restaurant really did so, it would probably become a laughingstock in Jincheng’s catering industry.

"What’s there to worry about, if they leave, they leave. Can’t you arrange for someone to follow them?" the deputy general manager looked up and glared fiercely at the head of security, then continued in a grave tone, "We definitely need to give the Duan Family an explanation for today’s incident. You didn’t intervene earlier because the situation didn’t allow it, which I believe the Duan Family can understand. But if we let their enemies go, the Duan Family may not say anything, but they will certainly blame us. Also, go to the surveillance room yourself and clean up all the footage of what just happened."

By erasing the surveillance footage, there wouldn’t be any evidence left. This way, the million Li Changlin and his group had demanded Duan Hongsheng transfer could be considered extortion. This was also a tactic the deputy general manager used to curry favor with the Duan Family.

"Yes, yes, I’ll go handle it right away," the head of security got the message and after exchanging a few more words with the deputy general manager, he took his leave from the office.

Completely unaware of the situation here, Li Changlin had just put his phone back in his pocket.

Everyone continued to eat and chat, and soon it was around half past eleven. By then, they were nearly finished eating, and Zhou Xingxing asked if they wanted to order more dishes.

Everyone was quite full, so there was no need for more dishes. Li Changlin also waved his hands repeatedly, he was indeed full from the meal, but he felt a bit embarrassed that he hadn’t been able to join Brother Grape for a drink of Erguotou.

Zhao Pu didn’t mind at all. After all, he had a guess that maybe in a moment, people from over there would come looking for trouble.

Maintaining a sober mind was also crucial for making the right response, wasn’t it?

"Over here, over here!"

"Yes, it’s inside."

"Open the door."

"The people inside, listen, we are the police, open the door quickly."

As Zhao Pu had predicted, soon there was a clamor outside the private room.

Li Changlin frowned slightly, wondering why the police had been called. Could it be that the people from over there were planning to escalate the situation!

"I’ll go open the door." Li Changlin couldn’t figure it out for a moment, but he wasn’t too concerned, so he apologized to Zhou Xingxing and Zhao Pu with a smile and stood up to open the door.

Opening the door, Li Changlin was taken aback to find that there was a crowd outside, at least twenty people.

Standing at the forefront was a security guard from Silver Thread Restaurant, a very sturdy man who looked like he was also quite formidable.

Li Changlin squinted slightly, speaking indifferently, "What’s this about? Why has your restaurant brought the police to my doorstep?"

"Oh, the young man is quite the comedian!" The one knocking was the head of security at Silver Thread Restaurant, who coldly watched Li Changlin with a look that seemed to be staring at a dead man.

"What do you mean!" Li Changlin’s face darkened, pulling his gaze back from the several police officers standing beside the head of security.

"We received a report accusing someone in your private room of extortion. Please come with us to the station!" This time, it wasn’t the head of security who answered. He had already fulfilled his mission, stepping aside calmly as Li Changlin’s eyes fell on him.

Now standing before Li Changlin was a thirty-something young police officer. With two bars and a star, Deputy Director Duan Rongliang from the Qingping Police Station, who was the cousin of brothers Duan Hongsheng.

Of course, Li Changlin was not aware of the man’s background.

However, on seeing that it was a police officer, he smiled cooperatively, "I think the officer might have misunderstood. There is no one here involved in extortion."

"Whether there is or isn’t isn’t for you to say, nor for me." Duan Rongliang hummed indifferently, then with a serious tone, added, "Come on now, call everyone out from the room, and come with us to the police station!"

"Why should we go to the police station!" Just as Li Changlin’s annoyance was mounting and he was about to speak up, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

It was Zhou Xingxing stepping forward.

"Brother Zhou." Li Changlin hurriedly called out.

"You’re a police officer?" Zhou Xingxing nodded, walked beside Li Changlin, and looked up at Duan Rongliang, "Do you have any evidence to prove that we are the ones extorting?"

"That’s right, I am a police officer!" Duan Rongliang’s eyes narrowed slightly, Zhou Xingxing put tremendous pressure on him, so much so that under Zhou’s gaze, he even felt a sense of guilt.

But Duan Rongliang quickly came to his senses. He was here to handle these people this time; why should he feel guilty!

For a moment, Duan Rongliang felt a rush of irritation turning into anger. He looked coldly at Zhou Xingxing and shouted solemnly, "As for the evidence, once you are at the police station, I will naturally inform you."

"That’s very unfortunate." Zhou Xingxing shook his head, "If that’s the case, then we really can’t accompany you to the police station. You can’t even produce evidence, so on what grounds are you asking us to go with you?"

"As a citizen, you have the obligation to assist the police with their investigations!" Duan Rongliang’s face darkened, and he subtly placed his hand on his waist.

If these people dared to resist, he wouldn’t hesitate to resort to force.

You should know, the brothers Duan Hongsheng are direct descendants of the Duan Family. Moreover, Duan Hongsheng has already been designated as the next head of the Duan Family.

As for matters regarding Duan Hongsheng, Duan Rongliang must take them to heart, and this particular matter was personally entrusted to him by an elder of the family.
