Chapter 748: Chapter 748 Punishment!

Zhou Yu turned his head to look, and the person leading the group that entered was a middle-aged man.

With a square face and a crew cut, the man’s dark skin was set against a somewhat wrinkled shirt, and at the neckline, there appeared to be several deep scars.

Despite his unremarkable appearance, he emanated an aura of authority that commanded attention without anger, and as he walked toward them, everyone felt an almost suffocating presence.

He was the Deputy Director of Haizhou Martial Department, Hou Guangshou.

Hou Guangshou, seeing Xiang Yinglong battered to such an extent, first furrowed his brows, then looked up at Zhou Yu.

At the sight, his pupils shrank slightly.

"Are you Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu hadn’t expected this Martial Department Deputy Director, whom he had never met before, to immediately recognize his name.

However, considering he had been in Haizhou for almost half a month, and had been quite active during that time, it didn’t seem so strange that the Deputy Director was aware of him.

"Indeed, it’s me," Zhou Yu responded with indifferent affirmation with a nod.

Hou Guangshou was inwardly shaken.

As Deputy Director of the Martial Department, Zhou Yu’s name was the one he heard most frequently of late.

It was said that Zhou Yu had close ties with Governor Zhang Zheng and the wealthiest man Yu Kaiping, and even more so, he had forcefully entered Red Leaf Villa just two days ago and emerged unscathed...

All these events pointed to the fact that this man was no ordinary individual.

Hou Guangshou had never met Zhou Yu before and only knew that he was very young.

Now seeing him in person, he realized Zhou Yu was even younger than he had imagined.

It was hard to believe that such a young man could stir up so much, truly inconceivable.

Amid his shock, Hou Guangshou took a deep breath and asked,

"What’s going on here?"

Xiang Yinglong cried out pathetically,

"Uncle Hou, this guy roughed me up. He didn’t just cripple my bodyguard and injure Elder Fei, but he also beat me to this state."

"Uncle Hou, you must arrest him quickly!"

At this time, the men Hou Guangshou had brought with him could barely restrain themselves from attacking Zhou Yu.

But they were stopped by Hou Guangshou.

He understood the character of Xiang Yinglong, this spoiled scion, all too well; if something had gone wrong, it was almost certainly instigated by him.

Hou Guangshou asked in a stern voice,

"Xiang Yinglong, tell me the truth, what exactly did you do?"

"If you were in the wrong, apologize immediately and deal with it as it should be; if someone else is at fault, I will ensure you get justice."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yinglong’s face turned ugly.

His eyes were brimming with anger.

"Uncle Hou, what do you mean by that?"

"My grandfather treats you as his most trusted person. Now, you stand by and watch me get beaten like this—are you saying you won’t intervene?"

"Fine, if you won’t take action, then let him beat me to death. Please, Uncle Hou, just take my body back to my grandfather."

Xiang Yinglong, saying such things in front of everyone, was clearly attempting to coerce Hou Guangshou.

A muscle twitched in Hou Guangshou’s face as he turned to look at Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, let him go first," he said.

Zhou Yu was not buying it.

"Just because you say so, I should let him go?"

"And all the things he has done, we should just let them slide?"

Zhou Yu’s attitude immediately caused Hou Guangshou’s subordinates to lose their patience.

"You impudent brat!"

"How dare you talk to our Deputy Director Hou like that!!!"

"You’re asking for death..."

Hou Guangshou abruptly extended his hand, silencing everyone with a shout.

He looked again at Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, you should believe in the Martial Department. If he truly committed a crime, I will not be lenient."

"Is that so?"

Zhou Yu’s face was full of mockery as he pointed toward Ye Ling and Xiaotong behind him.

"He, in broad daylight, forced these two friends of mine, nearly driving one to jump off a building, and later detained them. Had I not rescued them, I shudder to think what would have happened next," Zhou Yu said.

"You say you won’t be lenient, so how does the Martial Department plan to deal with this?"

Hearing this, Hou Guangshou’s expression darkened—it really was this second-generation rich man stirring up trouble, and he had not expected him to pick on someone beyond his means this time.

This trip to Nan Wutai Mountain had been part of an important mission for him. He was supposed to keep a low profile, even a secret.

If word of this incident were to spread, wouldn’t his whereabouts become public knowledge?

Yet, at that moment, Xiang Yinglong was still arguing,

"Uncle Hou, I was merely pursuing them in a normal courtship. Who knew they’d be so desperate as to jump off a building? If I hadn’t saved them, they’d have died a long time ago..."

"Enough!"

Hou Guangshou’s cold shout cut off Xiang Yinglong.

"Xiang Yinglong, you never learn. This time, I will not be lenient," Hou Guangshou declared.

Finished speaking, Hou Guangshou walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a call to Xiang Yinglong.

Xiang Yinglong was in his office waiting for news about Zhou Yu when he received the call from Hou Guangshou, and his expression darkened.

"What did you say?"

"Xiang Yinglong was forcing women at Nan Wutai Mountain and almost caused a fatality?"

"Make that unruly son of mine come back to me immediately," commanded Xiang Yinglong.

Hou Guangshou shook his head and said,

"Director, this incident has caused quite a stir, and there is no doubt about its veracity; the evidence is conclusive. I propose we administer justice on the spot and send him to Fengtai County Prison for a three-year sentence without parole."

Xiang Yinglong’s face turned stormy—clearly, Hou Guangshou was intent on punishing his grandson.

"Deputy Director Hou, is there really a need to make such a fuss over this minor issue?"

Hou Guangshou shook his head,

"Director, this is the only way to handle the situation; otherwise, the other party will not let Xiang Yinglong off easily."

Xiang Yinglong’s face showed rage as he said discontentedly,

"Are we going to relent just because he says we should relent? Who is this person anyway?"

"Director, the other party is Zhou Yu," replied Hou Guangshou.

Xiang Yinglong’s voice stalled, and a sharp light quickly passed through his eyes.

"Zhou Yu?"

"He’s at Nan Wutai?"

"Yes, right on the scene," affirmed Hou Guangshou.

"Zhou Yu is adamant that if we don’t deal with Xiang Yinglong, this matter won’t be settled," Hou Guangshou added.

Xiang Yinglong’s face turned extremely somber, and after a moment of silence, he nodded,

"Fine, do as you say."

After speaking, Xiang Yinglong hung up the phone directly.

After ending the call, Xiang Yinglong went to the window and slammed his hands heavily on the windowsill.

"Zhou Yu!!!!!"

"You’re forcing me to kill you!!!!!!"
