Ye Longlin watched Lai Meiyun, his gaze as calm as could be, as if her presence or absence made no difference.
Seeing this, Lai Meiyun’s thoughts raced. She glared fiercely at Ye Longlin, “You just wait!”
She understood the wisdom of not fighting a losing battle.
Just as she pulled out her phone, Ye Longlin’s voice continued, “If the people you call can’t handle me, I’ll slap you until you’re dead.”
Hearing this, Lai Meiyun sneered, “Very well, I’d like to see what you’re capable of to say such a thing. If you’re just putting on airs, I promise you’ll regret being alive.”
The first call Lai Meiyun made was to her cousin, Li Kaiping.
Li Kaiping was also a member of the Li family, holding a position neither high nor low. He was a captain in the Dragon Investigation Unit, and it was rumored he was close to securing a position as police chief.
He was even hailed as the successor to the Dragon Investigation Bureau.
“Wait, they’ll be here immediately. I hope you won’t disappoint me when they arrive. I’m waiting for you to slap me!”
Lai Meiyun sneered, as if she could already see Ye Longlin kneeling before her, begging for mercy.
Soon, Li Kaiping arrived.
He had been on a minor assignment nearby when he received Lai Meiyun’s call and rushed over.
Not to mention his cousin’s status, she was now Mrs. Chen. In terms of status and position, Li Kaiping truly couldn’t compare to her.
“Madam Chen, is there anything I can help you with?”
Li Kaiping asked politely upon his arrival.
Lai Meiyun nodded and began to explain, “Cousin, it’s like this. My son studies here. A transfer student came two days ago, and today, this transfer student beat up my son. Look, my son’s head is covered in blood. How could I possibly tolerate this indignity?
When I went to find them, look at what happened. They attacked me directly. My bodyguards are all lying there, not moving a muscle, I don’t even know if they’re dead.”
While Li Kaiping was on his way, Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang had moved to the teachers’ office to inquire about the situation with Zhang Jing. Only Mu Hanqi remained outside.
Li Kaiping had never met Mu Hanqi before, and his expression immediately darkened.
Hearing Lai Meiyun’s words, Mu Hanqi became furious and retorted, “Officer, things are not like that at all. Don’t listen to her spew nonsense…”
But before she could finish, she was forcefully interrupted.
“Enough! Do you think you need to stoop to my level to smear me? Are you flattering yourself?”
“What audacity! To dare provoke one of the ten great families in this territory of Nan Province, I think you’re tired of living!”
Li Kaiping rebuked angrily, disregarding her status and forcefully stifling her words!
Lai Meiyun also smiled elegantly at this moment, “What I say is white, then it is white. What I say is black, then it is black. Do you understand?”
Her statement was incredibly overbearing, disregarding the facts entirely.
Mu Hanqi trembled with anger, her eyes filled with fury.
“Where is the law in your eyes? Do you really think there’s no one in Nan Province who can deal with you?”
They had held sway in Nan Province for a long time, or rather, no one had ever dared to resist them, which led to their arrogant disposition.
Over time, it evolved into the current state of affairs.
“Law? Heh, the law is to restrain the poor and protect the rich. For people like you, the law serves little purpose.”
Lai Meiyun said this without reservation, causing Li Kaiping to frown.
“Is that so? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone dare to trample the law underfoot.”
Ye Longlin emerged from the office, hearing the commotion outside, his hands in his pockets.
Upon seeing Ye Longlin step out, Li Kaiping’s face instantly turned pale, ashen like paper.
He had encountered Ye Longlin several times before, and each encounter left a profound impression on him.
Most importantly, after returning to the bureau, they had investigated all of Ye Longlin’s relevant information, but… the system immediately issued a warning. If the inquiry was not closed within ten seconds, they would be notified of leaking classified information, leading to their encirclement and inspection by local troops.
The deputy director was so frightened that he looked as if he had been fished out of water. Even the director of the Nan Province General Bureau had come over. Then, two minutes later, a call came from the Dragon Investigation Bureau headquarters in the capital, and they were severely reprimanded.
It was after that that Li Kaiping developed a fear of Ye Longlin’s identity and status.
Seeing Ye Longlin again now, all he felt was fear.
“Mr… Mr… Mr. Ye…”
Li Kaiping’s lips trembled slightly, his gaze towards Ye Longlin filled with deep reverence.
The man’s status was clearly top-secret.
“You’re here to back him up?”
Ye Longlin asked calmly.
Li Kaiping fell silent, then moved aside, smiling apologetically, “No, no. I received a police report about a serious incident at the school and came to take a look. Since Mr. Ye is here, there’s no need for me to be here. Please, go ahead… please…”
Li Kaiping dared not confront Ye Longlin, or rather, dared not oppose him.
Just checking Ye Longlin’s information had almost cost him dearly. If he opposed him now, it would likely be a sentence of ten years!
He didn't want to go to jail.
Ye Longlin then looked at Lai Meiyun, his tone casual, “I said, if the person you called can’t protect you, I’ll slap you until you’re dead.”
After speaking, he slapped Lai Meiyun across the face.
“Slap!”
The crisp sound echoed, making Li Kaiping shiver.
The little fatty was so scared that he burst into tears, completely stunned by Ye Longlin’s imposing aura!
The slap was powerful and heavy, sending Lai Meiyun flying backward. She spat out blood, and two of her teeth were knocked out.
Lai Meiyun glared at Ye Longlin venomously, shouting hoarsely, “Li Kaiping!! Didn’t you see him hitting me? This person is openly committing violence, and you’re not arresting him? Are you covering for him?”
Li Kaiping turned his head to look at the sky and muttered, “The weather is very good today, perfect for an outing. Oh, what’s wrong with my eyes lately? They’re always blurry.”
Hearing this, Lai Meiyun almost fainted from anger, utterly enraged.
Lai Meiyun’s expression gradually turned ferocious, “Good, very good! Li Kaiping, you remember this day, colluding with him. I won’t let you off, and the Chen family won’t let you off either!”
“And the two of you, just you wait. I’m going to tear you apart alive today!”
