Chapter 777: Chapter 773: Internal Strife

“No, I can’t let scum tarnish the police profession permanently,” Ye Fan said, shaking his head.

He was now a police officer himself, even more, a political commissar at a county police bureau, responsible for political thought work.

A few months of work had given him a profound understanding that police work was originally not easy. If he allowed some scum to ruin the police’s reputation and lose the trust of the people, it often required a lot of extra energy to complete even the simplest tasks.

Hearing this, the two young police officers slumped their shoulders in disappointment.

Luo Jianfeng gave a bitter smile. He didn’t naively think that Ye Fan would let them off the hook.

Ye Fan then refilled his cup of tea, slowly sipped it, and then asked Luo Jianfeng, “Tell me, was it An Qiye who instructed you to come?”

“It wasn’t An Qiye,” Luo Jianfeng admitted, deciding not to beat around the bush, “It was Wang Kaichen, the son of the vice mayor Wang.”

“Ah, so he was involved as well,” Ye Fan said with a slight nod, seemingly untroubled by Wang Kaichen’s involvement.

Seeing Ye Fan remain calm even after learning it was Wang Kaichen’s doing confirmed Luo Jianfeng’s fear that tonight he was truly doomed, and it might extend beyond just addressing tonight’s mistake.

Seeing the two young police officers completely dejected, Ye Fan remarked, “You two, at worst you’d be fired. Do you need to act as if your father has died?”

His words sparked a flicker of spirit in the young officers.

Ye Fan tapped his fingers on the tea table and asked them, “When did you join the police force?”

“Last July.”

“Last September.”

The young officers answered weakly.

They could have disregarded Ye Fan, but his demeanor and speech carried an inexplicable authority, giving them the illusion that he was their leader, making them forget that Ye Fan was actually a few years younger than them.

“Oh, so you’ve been police officers for less than a year, you’re new officers,” Ye Fan asked one of the young officers, “How did you get into the police station?”

“I passed the entrance exam after graduating from the police academy,” the young officer replied.

“And you?” Ye Fan asked the other.

“It was similar for me,” answered the young officer.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then said, “Actually, you don’t have to be so disheartened. Although you made a mistake, it’s not to the extent of dismissal.”

From the young officers’ despondent expressions, Ye Fan could tell they were ordinary new officers who cared deeply about their jobs. Having been employed for less than a year, they likely hadn’t been corrupted yet. If they remembered this lesson, they might become good police officers in the future.

Upon hearing this, the two young officers couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, hopeful once again.

Seeing this, Luo Jianfeng quickly reminded the young officers, “Xiao Hua, Xiao Song, won’t you quickly thank Mr. Ye for his generosity?”

Prompted by Luo Jianfeng, the young officers immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Fan, saying gratefully, “Thank you! Thank you!”

Ye Fan gestured dismissively and said, “No need to thank me. You will receive punishment commensurate with your mistakes. I will merely request Director Luo not to pursue your faults too severely. I hope you learn from this lesson and commit to being honest and upright police officers in the future.”

“Yes, yes, you are absolutely right,” the young officers replied gratefully, one after another.

As for Luo Jianfeng, Ye Fan never considered pleading for him. A person like that got what he deserved.

However, An Qiye and Wang Kaichen saw Luo Jianfeng and two others had entered Ye Fan’s presidential suite almost half a day ago, but still Luo Jianfeng and the others hadn’t dragged Ye Fan out.

“What’s going on?” An Qiye suddenly had a bad feeling and said to Wang Kaichen, “Those three cops couldn’t have been bought off by that kid Ye Fan, could they?”

He had suffered a great loss at the hands of Ye Fan, and although he hated Ye Fan to the bone, he was psychologically scarred by him. Of course, he didn’t think that Luo Jianfeng and the others had been bought off by Ye Fan at the last minute, but rather felt that Luo Jianfeng and the others had been stunned by a phone call from Ye Fan.

Wang Kaichen scoffed with disdain. “How could that be possible? Just wait a little longer. They’ll take Ye Fan down soon. Maybe Luo Jianfeng and his team really found that kid Ye Fan doing drugs or soliciting prostitutes.”

“Hopefully,” said An Qiye.

After waiting some more time, Luo Jianfeng and the others still hadn’t taken Ye Fan down. Wang Kaichen finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

While pulling out his mobile phone to call Luo Jianfeng, he mumbled to himself: “What the hell are they doing? Can’t even handle a simple task!”

The call went through, and he was about to question Luo Jianfeng when he suddenly heard the phone notify him that the call had been rejected.

“Uh?” He was somewhat disbelieving, about to get angry, when he suddenly realized that Luo Jianfeng and the others might really have encountered some trouble.

An Qiye had been paying attention to Wang Kaichen making the call. Seeing that Wang Kaichen’s call was rejected, his handsome face showed some concern and he said, “They won’t answer the call, huh? It looks like we might not be able to deal with that kid Ye Fan tonight.”

Wang Kaichen was so infuriated he nearly crushed his mobile phone, bitterly cursing, “Just a damn bug, I don’t believe I can’t squash you! I’ll call more people! If I don’t kill you tonight, I won’t call myself Wang!”

Saying this, he immediately flipped through his phone contacts to make a call.

Seeing this, An Qiye frowned and said, “Wait a second, Brother Chen.”

“What’s up?” Wang Kaichen spoke sharply.

Holding back his anger, An Qiye calmly said, “If that kid Ye Fan can hold off Luo Jianfeng and the others, he must have called someone. Let’s wait and see who he’s called, and then we can bring in more people. If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be long before Ye Fan’s contacts arrive.”

Wang Kaichen paused, thinking there might be some truth in that, and suppressed his urge to immediately call in more people.

After ten more minutes, An Qiye and Wang Kaichen finally saw the people Ye Fan had called.

“Isn’t that Director Luo and Director Zhang?” An Qiye’s eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Luo Guozhong and chief of the Hua Hai police precinct Zhang Mingming rush over.

Knowingly, he had always believed Ye Fan’s biggest backer was Zhao Lina. After Zhao Lina left Hua Hai City, Ye Fan shouldn’t have had such significant support. Yet, with one phone call, Ye Fan managed to make Luo Guozhong come to apologize in the middle of the night.

Wang Kaichen rubbed his eyes furiously, doubting if he was seeing things.

M|D, Luo Guozhong was indeed the chief of Hua Hai City Police, a real power that was even greater than his own father’s, who was a low-ranking deputy mayor. The fact that Ye Fan could make Luo Guozhong rush over in the middle of the night showed just how powerful Ye Fan was!

Thinking this, he got a feeling of impending disaster, and his face turned ashen.

Although he was arrogant and overbearing, relying on his father, he wasn’t completely brainless. He realized he had bitten off more than he could chew this time and that he might not die but he’d certainly be skinned!

Slap!

Suddenly, he turned and forcefully slapped An Qiye across the face, and before An Qiye could react, he violently kicked him in the stomach, immediately knocking An Qiye to the ground.

“M|D, An Qiye, I f*ck your mother!” he cursed furiously, “It’s all because of you, you f*cking idiot, you’ve got me killed!”
