Chapter 609: Seeking Oneâs Own Death
"Sue me? Do you think you can sue me? Believe it or not, if you sue me, I can get you kicked out of your current position. Iâm not afraid to tell you the truth, I know Feng Aimin, do you know who Feng Aimin is? Even if you donât, it doesnât matter. You only need to know that his rank is higher than yours. Just one word from him and you can go from being a cop to just an average person."
The womanâs words made Xu Ke raise an eyebrow. He truly hadnât expected someone who seemed so shrewd to know such a person. But then again, someone who could raise their daughter to be like that likely wouldnât progress far in the political realm. However, he didnât expect that he misjudged Feng Aimin. It seems thereâs still much for him to learn in the art of judging people.
Xu Ke said nothing but in his mind, Feng Aimin was as good as dead and added to his list of people not to associate with.
Judging by his associatesâ behavior, maybe Feng Aimin would be on the road to ruin without Xu Ke having to lift a finger.
Xu Ke didnât interrupt the womanâs rant, giving her plenty of space to express herself. Meanwhile, the woman, seeing hesitation on the police officerâs face, became more and more exuberant, completely forgetting her husbandâs warnings.
"And as for you, low people like you probably havenât even heard of this name, right? But it doesnât matter, as long as you know this person is powerful and not someone people at your level can afford to offend. I wasnât initially planning on telling you about my acquaintance with Feng Aimin, for fear of scaring you, but you all have really made me angry." The woman said, smoothing her unruffled hair.
"If you apologize to me now, I might consider forgiving you. Otherwise, Iâll make sure you get kicked out of Shangjing." The womanâs sharp gaze swept over Xu Ke and the others as she threatened.
"So what do you expect us to do for an apology?" Xu Ke asked, using his eyes to stop Lin Mengyao from speaking.
"Do I have to teach you how to apologize? Of course, you should kneel and bow your head in repentance. And my shoes got a bit dusty on my way over, clean them with your tongue, will you?" The woman said, extending her foot in front of Xu Ke. "What are you waiting for? Kneel down now!"
Seeing Xu Keâs lack of reaction, the woman couldnât help but threaten, "If you canât even do this, how do you expect me to believe your sincerity in apologizing? If youâre not sincere in your apology, donât blame me for being ruthless. If that happens, getting on your knees and begging me for mercy wonât be so easy."
"Hahahahaha." Xu Ke couldnât help but burst into laughter. "Iâm sorry, I really couldnât hold it in. In Shangjing, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this before. Not even Feng Aimin would dare to say something like that openly to my face because he knows that if he did, it would be a fight to the death between us. In Shangjing, itâs either him or me. Not even Feng Aimin would confidently say he could kick me out of Shangjing, so what makes you think you can say this? Is it because youâre shameless enough?"
Xu Keâs words changed the womanâs expression. It wasnât that she believed Xu Ke, but she felt he was questioning her words. It was like saying youâre the richest person in the world and the person across from you thinks youâre bluffing, then claims to be the father of the richest person instead.
"Are you questioning me?" The woman said with a dark look on her face.
"No, Iâm not questioning you. Questioning requires a basis of potential belief, and Iâve never believed it, so how could I be questioning? Thatâs not questioning; thatâs me openly mocking you, mocking your overestimation of your own abilities." Xu Ke said, reining in his laughter.
"Although I donât know how close you and Feng Aimin are, I have to tell you, Shangjing is not a place where you can act recklessly. Maybe you were arrogant and domineering where you lived before, but since youâve decided to come to Shangjing, you better be prepared to bow and scrape until you have the strength to match." Xu Ke said calmly.
"If you want to get by in Shangjing, be well-behaved and stop causing trouble. Today, considering Feng Aimin, I wonât touch you, but as for your daughter, perhaps itâs best she stays here for a few days to reflect. While sheâs still young, if she can get rid of some of her unsavory habits, that would be good, right?" Although Xu Ke asked a question, there was no hint of inquiry or negotiation; he was simply announcing his decision.
"Iâll take Tang Zhongwei away. As for the one with the shoulder issue, letâs detain her for half a month first. Whenever she learns the rules, then we can let her out." Xu Ke said, reaching out to the officer for the key to the room holding Tang Zhongwei.
"Iâm sorry, sir, I canât give you this key, and I canât release this person for now. Iâm following the rules and orders from above, and without either, it would be difficult for me to release anyone." The officer said with a troubled expression.
"After hearing so much, I thought you were someone impressive. Turns out youâre just a pretty pillow, nice to listen to but useless." The woman sneered, trying to save face.
Xu Ke ignored the womanâs mockery, took out his phone from his pocket, and said to the officer, "I forgot you guys had this procedure."
Then Xu Ke pressed the call button, "Director Wang, I have a minor issue here that I need your help with. My little sister was beaten by someone, and now both the assailant and she are detained. Since my little sister is injured, I want to take her to the hospital for treatment. Is that okay?"
"I thought it was a big deal; turns out itâs just a small matter. Sure, hand the phone to the officer next to you, Iâll speak to him." Director Wang replied while playing cards.
Xu Ke was in luck. The officer who answered the phone happened to have heard Director Wangâs voice before and recognized him by voice; otherwise, whether they could take the person away would remain uncertain.
Upon exiting the detention room, Tang Zhongwei still seemed bewildered, unable to believe she was released so easily. She had almost thought she would spend the night there.
In contrast, the womanâs face turned even darker. She hadnât expected Xu Ke to really have connections, knowing someone like the director. Thinking back to her earlier words, it was clear she had offended him. Perhaps an apology could still salvage the situation, but having grown used to wielding power, apologizing was a hard pill for her to swallow.
While she hesitated, Xu Ke was already taking the three women out. "We brought clothes for you. Itâs inconvenient to change in the car, so you can just wear it over," Lin Mengyao said, handing a bag to Tang Zhongwei.
"Thank you." Tang Zhongwei gripped the bag tightly, keeping her head down for a long time, making it hard to see her expression or guess her thoughts.
Yu Xia didnât stare at Tang Zhongwei either. Feeling tired, she closed her eyes, originally intending to rest for a bit, but ended up falling asleep unknowingly.
The woman left at the police station was unable to catch up and apologize in time after Xu Ke and the others had left for a while. She didnât even know their address, only hoping Xu Ke would forget her actions and words.
As for her detained daughter, she couldnât worry about her at this moment, resigning herself to let her daughter remain in detention a while longer.
"Wait for mommy, sweetheart. Mommy will get you out as soon as possible," the woman said, holding her daughterâs hand.
"Then please hurry, mom. This place is hell, and I donât want to stay in this wretched place for even a minute longer." The young woman clung tightly to her motherâs hand, looking somewhat fearful.
"Donât worry, honey. Youâre my daughter, and I wonât give up on you. Iâll go home and talk to your dad to get you out." The woman said, clutching her daughterâs hand.
Hearing her mother would go get their father to rescue her, the young woman quickly let go of her momâs hand, her face full of urgency, "Then hurry and go. Tell dad to come get me ASAP. I really donât want to stay another second in this wretched place," she said loudly, as if the police station were some kind of monster.
After finally calming her daughter down, the woman returned home with a heavy heart, praying internally that her foolish actions wouldnât reach her husbandâs ears.
But the world isnât that kind, and as soon as she stepped into her home, a ceramic cup was hurled at her face...
The womanâs words made Xu Ke raise an eyebrow. He truly hadnât expected someone who seemed so shrewd to know such a person.
