Chapter 152: Petty and Vindictive

The man with broad shoulders, long legs, an imposing aura, and a handsome face—carrying a presence that compelled others to submit instinctively—was now approaching with a slight frown on his brow.

Director Li felt as though his entire life had reached a pinnacle. If he hadn't been personally involved in this mess, simply seeing this man would have been enough to brag about for the rest of his life. But because he was involved, seeing Lian Hanqi appear left him with only one thought: It’s over!

Furthermore, behind Lian Hanqi were several others: President Luo of Huaqing University, Director Wei of the Public Security Bureau, and Shen Yuheng of the Shen family. This group of people, who would never normally be found in the same room, had now appeared in full force inside a police station.

Director Li could no longer find the words to describe his current state of mind. He glanced to the side; the two women who had been so arrogant toward Yun Fu just moments ago were now standing together, trembling like quails.

Seeing them, Yun Fu no longer remained seated. She stood up. Although her expression remained unreadable, her fingers, resting on the table, curled slightly.

Lian Hanqi walked quickly to her side and looked her up and down. "Are you hurt?"

Yun Fu shook her head. Her gaze shifted to the people behind him, and she looked at President Luo with slight surprise. "President, why are you here?"

President Luo smiled, his expression relaxed, a far cry from the tension he had carried when he first walked in. "Chen Qun saw the news online and came to me in a panic, so I thought I’d come over to see how I could help." He glanced at Lian Hanqi beside him, his smile deepening. "But when I met Mr. Lian and the others at the door, I knew there was nothing to worry about."

In truth, when he had encountered Lian Hanqi and Director Wei at the entrance, President Luo’s heart had skipped a beat. Seeing such powerful figures mobilized, he had assumed that Yun Fu’s situation was dire and likely impossible to resolve easily. Only after walking in did he realize that the situation was indeed serious and impossible to resolve—but not for Yun Fu. It was the others who were beyond salvation.

Director Wei looked at Director Li and let out a cold snort. "A station chief who makes arrests without even investigating the facts properly—it seems your decades of service have been a complete waste!"

Director Li’s legs gave way. Meeting Director Wei’s gaze, he nearly collapsed to his knees. His eyes trembled, and cold sweat poured down his face. "Director Wei, I... I, I was really..."

"No need to say another word. After what happened today, it’s time to take off that uniform!"

Director Li hit the floor with a heavy thud, kneeling in despair as he looked at the group of people present. Unfortunately, no one felt any pity for him. The people he had been trying to protect were now unable to even save themselves.

Director Li looked toward the person standing in the center of the crowd, ignoring everything else as he slammed his head against the floor. "Miss Yun, I was blind! Please, with your magnanimity, let me off this one time. It was all my own greed and stupidity, I..."

He wasn't afraid of being stripped of his rank. He knew full well that once he stepped out of this door, his home, his children, and his entire family would be destroyed. He didn't even need Lian Hanqi to act; the mere presence of people like Mu Bai was enough to ruin him.

The two women, who had been shrinking into the corner, trying to make themselves as small as possible, also felt their legs give way. In fact, from the moment Mu Bai and the others had entered, they had wanted to flee, but it was already too late.

Director Li knocked his forehead until it bled, but no one in the room responded to him. He glanced up cautiously, only to see that beautiful, ethereal girl watching him quietly with eyes as clear as glass, a smile of unknown meaning playing on her lips.

Seeing him look at her, the smile on Yun Fu’s lips widened slightly, but the temperature in her eyes grew colder. Her red lips parted, and her cold, clear voice rang out: "Director Li truly doesn't understand me at all. I am a petty person who keeps a ledger of every slight; I am certainly not the magnanimous person you describe."

"!!!" It was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Without waiting for his reaction, Yun Fu gave a delicate yawn and turned to the others, her tone softening. "Thank you all for coming for my sake today."

She turned to Fang Zeming, her demeanor like a lethal cat—lazy, yet capable of killing in an instant. "Fang Zeming, the evidence is there, and the connections are established. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Understood. Rest easy."

With that, Yun Fu lazily sat back down on the chair and tapped the seat next to her, signaling Lian Hanqi to sit as well. The small police officers who had been mere background props since Mu Bai arrived finally moved. They nimbly fetched chairs and placed them among the group. In an instant, the tiny police station was filled with top-tier power players.

Fang Zeming glanced at the two lawyers, whose faces were now pale with despair, the temperature in his eyes dropping sharply. "As lawyers, using the law to frame and indirectly harm a young woman—I don't believe you are fit to be lawyers. I don't want to see you again after today."

The two men’s lips trembled, but they couldn't even muster a word of plea.

Next, it was the turn of the two women who had been throwing their weight around. Fang Zeming pointed to the documents in his hand. "I’m sure you both know perfectly well what dirty deeds your sons have committed, so there is no need for me to explain them to you one by one."

"On behalf of my client, I am formally pressing charges against your two sons for attempted murder. Do remember to show up when the trial begins."

"As for Director Li..." Fang Zeming handed the files to Director Wei. "Director Wei, I believe this is your jurisdiction now."

Director Wei took the files and scanned them briefly; he couldn't help but curse under his breath. These animals! Killing them would be letting them off too easy! He nodded, his gaze turning murderous as he looked at Director Li.

"Fine. I will handle the rest. It was my poor oversight that allowed such a subordinate to exist."

After speaking, he bowed respectfully to Yun Fu. "Miss Yun, I am deeply sorry for the trouble caused to you. Please be assured that I will handle this properly and give you a perfect resolution."

Yun Fu rested her chin on her hand and nodded lazily.

The matter had ended as simply as that, and it was time for her to go home. Seeing her stand up, the group rose in unison and walked toward the door in a grand procession.

Outside, a crowd of reporters had already gathered, cameras in hand. When they saw Yun Fu, they began clicking their shutters frantically, but the moment they saw the people beside her, they instinctively lowered their cameras. Then, seeing the people who emerged slowly behind them... the cameras were tucked away entirely.
