Chapter 186: 186 Chapter Are you okay? [4th Update]
"Director Cui, you're an adult, how can you have the nerve to blatantly lie? I was just scaring you a bit, I didn't actually hit you. Go look in the mirror!" Ge Dongxu said with a disdainful sneer.
"Damn it, you're the one blatantly lying!" Cui Mingshuo, who always twisted the truth about others, had never been accused this way before. Seeing Ge Dongxu turn the tables on him left him swearing up a storm, though he did glance toward a mirror in the private room.
When he looked, Cui Mingshuo was stunned.
The others, hearing this, subconsciously turned their gazes to Cui Mingshuo and they were all stunned as well.
"Damn! Just now you clearly beat me up until my face was swollen and I had lumps on my head!" After being stunned, Cui Mingshuo screamed like a stepped-on cat.
"Director Cui, you may be dumb, but don't think everyone else is too!" Ge Dongxu sneered coldly.
As a cultivator, especially at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, Ge Dongxu could inflict pain that made someone scream, all the while not leaving any visible marks.
A trace of annoyance flickered through Zhu Chen's eyes, and rightly so, as Cui Mingshuo was obviously treating him like a fool!
Su Qi and a few others all wore expressions of disbelief.
Just moments ago, they had clearly seen Ge Dongxu beating Cui Mingshuo severely. How come there wasn't even a bit of swelling?
"Officer Zhu, listen to me, this guy really did beat me up until my face was swollen and I had lumps on my head, I still feel extremely painful now!" Cui Mingshuo, not being Zhu Chen's superior and unable to command him directly, hurriedly explained, seeing the unmistakable displeasure on Zhu Chen's face.
"Enough, you all come with me to the police station!" Zhu Chen finally spoke out, gesturing with his hand, his expression darkening.
Seeing Zhu Chen finally siding with him, Cui Mingshuo flashed a triumphant smile at Ge Dongxu and whispered smugly in his ear, "Kid, you're going to suffer at the station!"
"Is that so? I think you're the one who's going to suffer!" Ge Dongxu retorted with a disdainful sneer.
"Keep being arrogant! You'll be crying soon!" Cui Mingshuo said coldly.
"Officer, this really isn't Ge Dongxu's fault!" Yuan Li panicked as the police were about to take Ge Dongxu away, clearly siding with Cui Mingshuo, and she stepped forward to intervene again.
"Sister Li, it's okay, after the scene we caused, it's only right for the officers to do this. We shouldn't make it difficult for them. I just hope they can live up to the uniform they wear and not wrongly accuse the innocent," Ge Dongxu said, holding Yuan Li back.
Ge Dongxu's words sounded particularly grating and juvenile to Zhou Xialiu and the others, their faces unconsciously showing a sneer of disdain.
Anyone with common sense could see that Cui Mingshuo and Zhu Chen knew each other and that Zhu Chen was biased! Only someone from a small place like Ge Dongxu would say such naive things.
"Hmph, we don't need you to tell us that! Once we get to the station and the investigation is clear, we will handle the case justly!" Zhu Chen said coldly.
After finishing his sentence, Zhu Chen waved his hand, "Take him away," then pointed at Cui Mingshuo and a few others, "Director Cui, you and these people come with us to make a statement."
These people included Zhou Xialiu who had just testified, two executives, Yuan Li, and a few others.
It was unclear whether Zhu Chen intended to make a show for everyone or genuinely wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, by taking away Cui Mingshuo's favourable witness Zhou Xialiu and two managers, he clearly showed some bias. As for how biased he would be, that could only be known once they reached the police station.
"Take what? First explain the matter clearly!" Just as Zhu Chen was about to take Ge Dongxu and others back to the police station, Feng Chenqing hurriedly pushed through the crowd and coldly shouted.
After speaking, he didn't look at Zhu Chen and the others' expressions or reactions, but hurried to Ge Dongxu's side and asked in a low, concerned voice, "Are you alright?"
A young woman, dressed fashionably, followed Feng Chenqing. She looked surprised when she saw Feng Chenqing quickly approach a young man and ask in a concerned, low voice.
Recently, Feng Chenqing had made a girlfriend. Her family was alright, but not as wealthy as Feng Chenqing's. Coincidentally, she had a friend who was celebrating a birthday.
Women tend to have a bit of vanity, and she insisted on Feng Chenqing showing his face to join in the fun.
Since her friend's family was only moderately well-off, they didn't choose a top-tier club but selected Jin Yi Entertainment Club instead.
When the police came earlier, someone had just come out to use the restroom and saw them, mentioning it on their return.
Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, as it's common for people to drink too much and cause disturbances at entertainment venues, leading to police visits. However, upon hearing this, Feng Chenqing immediately left his private room in a rush to see what was happening.
After all, his grandfather's junior fellow disciple was having fun there tonight! If he alarmed the old man, then Feng Chenqing would indeed have failed in his duties!
But as is often the case, what you fear most tends to happen. Feng Chenqing had just arrived at the scene of the disturbance when he saw Ge Dongxu and Zhu Chen's commanding gesture.
Although Feng Chenqing often casually called him Dongxu, Ge Dongxu was younger than him, and calling him "junior uncle" would indeed be shocking and inappropriate. Feng Chenqing was very clear that someone of his grandfather's stature wouldn't just casually acknowledge a junior fellow disciple. Thus, while he might call him by name outwardly, he could never truly regard him as just another young man.
So, when he saw the police attempting to take Ge Dongxu away, Feng Chenqing immediately broke through the crowd and rushed in.
Joking aside, this was his grandfather's junior fellow disciple. If he were taken to the police station, would his grandfather not be furious?
If his grandfather were to be furious, it would cause a stir throughout the whole Huaxia Country— who could bear such a responsibility?
"I'm fine, it's just that Sister Li was treated unfairly," Ge Dongxu said upon seeing Feng Chenqing arrive, not particularly surprised since the two had just met in the restroom. He waved his hand dismissively.
Hearing that Ge Dongxu was alright, but that it was his friend who had been mistreated, Feng Chenqing breathed a sigh of relief.
But he only relaxed slightly because he had personally witnessed the close relationship between Ge Dongxu and Yuan Li.
"Who are you? Is it your place to interrupt while the police are working?" Cui Mingshuo was thinking about how to deal with Ge Dongxu at the police station later and was annoyed to see someone unexpectedly butt in who was apparently on Ge Dongxu's side. Without giving it much thought, he immediately started scolding Feng Chenqing.
"And who are you? What does my questioning the police have to do with you? Besides, since when is it wrong to question the police while they are handling a case?" Feng Chenqing, being a clever person, sensed from Cui Mingshuo's attitude that this incident definitely involved him. His expression darkened, and he asked sternly.
