Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Each Gets Fifty Strokes of Punishment

Actually, Su Linglong’s worry was unnecessary. The Su Family’s influence in Yanjing, although far from equaling the prominence of old Yanjing clans like the Lu Family, Jiang Family, and Wang Family, should not be underestimated. The little trouble just now was nothing to be concerned about.

Even without the backing of the Su Family, Fang Bai still had the trump card of Tang Wenrou at his disposal.

After Officer Tang transferred to the Yanjing Police Station, she remained the head of the major crimes unit. With a fairly high position and based on the relationship between teacher and friend with Fang Bai, a simple call from him was all it took for Tang Wenrou to neatly handle the minor incident.

They continued to eat and drink amidst laughter, as if nothing had happened. The other restaurant patrons, aware they were not to be trifled with, bowed their heads to their own meals, and no one dared to so much as glance in their direction.

A few minutes later, the group of young men that Su Linglong had kicked out strutted back into the Yuwei Hotel accompanied by five police officers.

"Officer Feng, you have arrived?"

Seeing the burly middle-aged officer at the forefront, Li Fuzhi, the owner of Yuwei Hotel, greeted him with a full-faced smile and offered cigarettes.

Officer Feng, a policeman from a substation of the Yanjing Police Station responsible for public security in the area, had met Li Fuzhi a few times and knew him as an acquaintance.

Officer Feng nodded expressionlessly at Li Fuzhi, declined the offered cigarettes, and then, led by the young men, approached the table where Fang Bai and Su Linglong were sitting.

The two young men, who had been knocked out and lain unconscious after clashing with each other due to Su Linglong’s actions, were revived by the rain before the officers’ arrival. They followed behind, hesitating upon seeing Su Linglong, their expressions mingling fear with hatred.

They had sported large bumps on their foreheads after crashing into each other, almost breaking their nasal bones and loosening their front teeth. Blood was oozing from their noses and mouths, which they intermittently wiped away with their hands, looking both pitiful and ridiculous.

Fang Bai and Su Linglong glanced at the police officers but said nothing, seemingly waiting for the other party to speak.

Officer Feng sized up Fang Bai and Su Linglong, noting their calm demeanor and distinguished air, especially Su Linglong, whose innate elegance suggested she was no ordinary person.

"Excuse the interruption. These individuals have reported an alarm, claiming that you both instigated a conflict and injured their friend. Please cooperate with our police work and come back to the station for an investigation. Rest assured, we will not let a criminal go, but we will not wrong an innocent person," Officer Feng said, aware that many hidden dragons lived in Yanjing City and that the pair could easily be offspring of some prominent clan. He raised his hand in salute and spoke with gravity.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fang Bai let out a ’tsk’ of amusement and said leisurely, "Officer, take a good look at us, then at those few men. Do you really think we would go out of our way to cause trouble or that we could have injured their friend?"

Officer Feng was taken aback. He looked at both parties, thinking to himself how right the young man was. There were only two of them, a refined-looking young man and a strikingly gentle and delicate girl. They didn’t look like they would provoke a group of five or six burly men.

"Officer Feng, we’re telling the truth!"

"That woman was fierce! She knocked out Li Gang and Liu Mang and threw them outside!"

"That’s right, they were still unconscious just a moment ago, waking up only when you arrived!"

"Officer Feng, don’t be deceived by their appearance!"

Seeing Officer Feng seemingly swayed by Fang Bai’s words, the young men immediately began to protest loudly.

Officer Feng turned and glared angrily at the six young men, saying irritably, "What are you clamoring about? Shut up, all of you!"

After saying that, he furrowed his brow in thought, then waved to summon hotel owner Li Fuzhi. When Li Fuzhi approached, Officer Feng said in a stern voice, "Li, since this incident happened in your hotel, tell us what this is all about."

"This..."

Li Fuzhi glanced at the menacing youths, then at the calm and smiling Fang Bai and Su Linglong, hesitating and uncertain about what to say.

Li Fuzhi had been cooking in the kitchen when the conflict between Fang Bai, Su Linglong, and the six youths broke out, so he wasn’t completely clear about the details.

Later, according to a description by a hotel staff member, it seemed that six young men, having seen Su Linglong’s beauty, made some inappropriate comments, which angered her. Consequently, Su Linglong took action and drove the six men out, and not long after that, Officer Feng and others arrived.

At the time, Li Fuzhi didn’t give it much thought, but now he began to suspect whether the staff member had been deceiving him.

Su Linglong, with her delicate and pretty girl demeanor, how could she possibly drive out six young men? Even with that pretty boy included, it would be impossible!

As for whether Su Linglong hit anyone while driving them out, the staff member said that he didn’t see clearly.

Under Officer Feng’s persistent questioning, Li Fuzhi had no choice but to repeat the staff member’s words. As for whether Officer Feng believed it, that was none of his business.

After listening to Li Fuzhi, Officer Feng glanced at Su Linglong and thought to himself that the girl truly was exceedingly beautiful. Any man who saw her would be astounded, and it was very possible that those six young men, who didn’t seem like decent folks, could have teased her.

Regarding the six men claiming that Su Linglong provoked trouble and injured their companion, Officer Feng, like Li Fuzhi, was not very convinced.

Officer Feng then had several officers who came with him investigate further in the hotel, inquiring some of the diners at the scene. The answers obtained were much the same as what Li Fuzhi had said, all pointing to the six young men teasing Su Linglong and Fang Bai first, and then being driven out by Su Linglong.

Whether Su Linglong actually hit anyone was unclear, but the injuries sustained by the two young men were, indeed, real.

This stunningly beautiful girl, did she really hit someone?

If she truly injured two and scared off four, how formidable would her fighting ability be?

After collating the information gathered by his colleagues, Officer Feng couldn’t help but feel stunned.

"Did you... Did you really hit them?"

Officer Feng pointed to two young men with swollen foreheads and blood trickling from their noses and mouths, looking at Su Linglong with a strange expression as he asked.

Many diners at the scene only mentioned Su Linglong driving away the six young men, but they were uncertain if she had hit anyone, so Officer Feng found it difficult to make a decision.

"Nope! I didn’t hit them at all!"

Su Linglong feigned an innocent expression and flatly denied it.

Su Linglong wasn’t lying; she merely dragged the two young men to the door and then casually threw them out, without actually hitting anyone.

"If you didn’t hit anyone, how did these two get injured?"

Officer Feng pressed further.

"How would I know that?"

Su Linglong spread her hands, looking as if she’d suffered a great injustice, and said, "Maybe they were in too much of a hurry when they left and bumped into each other, and now they’re trying to blame it on me."

"This..."

Officer Feng found Su Linglong’s explanation hard to believe as well. Bumping into one’s own people, how could it be so severe?

In the end, for this confusing case, Officer Feng decided to deal with it in a perplexed manner, punishing both parties equally.
