34: Chapter 34 Tian Jun's Frustration

Returning to Lingnan Mansion.

Chen Shaoping brought back some mutton skewers, beef skewers, and small meat skewers.

"Knock knock!"

The door to Room 601 opened, and Zhang Ying came out wearing pajamas, looking a bit dissatisfied.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Chen Shaoping said with a grin, "Sister Ying, I brought back some barbecue. Come and have some."

He even brought the barbecue in his hand to her nose to tease her.

Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Zhang Ying swallowed her saliva, but said otherwise.

"I'm not eating. I barely had any dinner; I need to lose weight and control my figure."

"Sister Ying, only fat people need to lose weight, and only people with bad figures need to control them."

"Are you fat? Is your figure bad?"

"You're not fat, and you have a great figure."

Chen Shaoping answered his own questions, and regardless of whether Zhang Ying agreed, he pulled her into his home.

Zhang Ying was forced to go along with him.

At first, Zhang Ying was a bit embarrassed and couldn't relax.

A while later, as the two were eating heartily, Chen Shaoping suggested,

"Sister Ying, let's have some alcohol. Barbecue with alcohol makes everything better."

"Sure, I'll go back and get some red wine."

"Why drink red wine? When eating barbecue, you have to drink beer!"

Chen Shaoping brought over a crate of Snow Brave the World and opened a bottle for each of them.

"Come, Sister Ying, a toast to you."

"Aren't you going to get me a glass? We're just drinking straight from the bottle?"

"Yeah, it's more fun to drink this way."

"Crude!"

Zhang Ying got up to get a glass herself and poured a full glass. After the two clinked their drinks,

Chen Shaoping drank about a third of his bottle, while Zhang Ying drank her glass.

Chen Shaoping pushed the beef skewers in front of Zhang Ying. "Eat the beef. Beef doesn't make you gain weight, so eat without worry."

"I'll eat, I'll eat! You eat too!"

"By the way, Sister Ying. Are you ready? When do you need the songs for the album?"

"I've been waiting for you to give them to me."

"Isn't this a misunderstanding? I was waiting for you to ask. I'll give them to you tomorrow."

...

Inside a certain luxury villa.

A spirited old man with jet-black hair who was very well-preserved sat at home with a serious expression.

If he didn't say he was over 70, outsiders would definitely say he wasn't even 60.

He had just received a call from his younger brother, Li Hongjiang, saying that his precious son had been arrested by the Baiyun District police.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

In his eyes, his son Li Tianyi was still a child. Why were these police officers picking on a child instead of catching actual criminals?

The old man was named Li Shuangjiang, an artist of the older generation who was highly respected.

Having fathered a son late in life, he doted on him exceptionally.

He picked up his phone, scrolled to find Zheng Qifeng's number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Old Leader, please tell me what's on your mind."

The other party's tone was very respectful.

"Little Zheng, my son Xiao Yi had a bit to drink and had some unpleasantness with a girl, and he was arrested by your subordinates."

"I hope you will personally go and bring him out. He must not be mistreated, do you understand?"

"Also, find a way to deal with those black sheep who arrest people indiscriminately if you can."

Zheng Qifeng hung up the phone and, without much hesitation, headed out into the night.

When he was in the army, he had received favors from Li Shuangjiang.

Over the years, his ability to reach the position of Deputy Director of the Baiyun District Branch was also thanks to Li Shuangjiang's connections.

Naturally, he had to handle the matter of getting someone out properly.

Thirty minutes later, inside the Baiyun District Police Station.

Tian Jun and the others were eating instant noodles when a man in a formal suit rushed in hurriedly.

The sharp-eyed Tan Zhuo saw the newcomer and immediately stood up with a serious expression.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zheng!"

The others were half a beat slower but also stood up quickly.

They hadn't even finished swallowing the instant noodles in their mouths.

Zheng Qifeng's face darkened as he shouted sternly, "Who allowed you to eat instant noodles in the office? What do you think this office is? Your home?"

"Making a mess of a perfectly good office."

Tian Jun and the others felt it was bizarre. Which police officer hadn't eaten instant noodles in the office?

However, none of them dared to talk back. Seeing Zheng Qifeng's posture, he was clearly here in the middle of the night to find trouble; they didn't know who had provoked him.

"Which of you went to the Hongyi Hotel to arrest people?" Zheng Qifeng's voice lowered slightly.

Tian Jun had a bad feeling.

They had just finished reporting to Director Lu Sihai, and Director Lu hadn't arrived yet, but the Deputy Director in charge had arrived first.

The Director hadn't mentioned needing to report to the Deputy Director either.

"Deputy Director Zheng, it was me!"

"And us."

Tian Jun stood out first, followed closely by Tan Zhuo and the others.

They realized that Deputy Director Zheng seemed to be here to hold them accountable.

"Good, you're really something, daring to arrest people casually without superior approval."

"Deputy Director Zheng, the situation was urgent at the time, and we had to take action. We reported to Director Lu as soon as possible afterward, and Director Lu also approved of our actions."

Tian Jun felt aggrieved. Did a higher rank mean one could just pin labels on people at will?

"I don't care whose permission you got. To arrest someone over such a small matter, is this how you act as police officers?"

"I order you to release the people immediately."

Deputy Director Zheng began to throw his weight around, while also calculating in his mind what reason he could use to strip them of their uniforms.

Hearing this, Tian Jun was very unhappy. Gang rape was being called a 'small matter' by him?

He stiffened his neck and retorted, "Deputy Director Zheng, how can such a thing be a small matter in your words?"

Zheng Qifeng knew in his heart that the matter definitely wasn't small.

However, in his view, as long as things were handled properly, there was nothing that couldn't be settled.

Over the years, this wasn't the first time he had done such a thing.

"What I say goes. Are you going to disobey an order?"

"If that's really the case, take off those uniforms right now and get out."

Zheng Qifeng truly hoped they would do so; it would save him a lot of trouble.

Tian Jun wanted to continue arguing, but he was stopped by Tan Zhuo.

Under Zheng Qifeng's orders, Li Tianyi and the others were soon released.

Seeing Tian Jun and the other three standing there obediently being lectured,

Li Tianyi smiled, smiling very happily. None of the previous times had been as thrilling as this one.

He walked up to Tian Jun, patted Tian Jun's face with his hand, and mocked,

"How about it, little policeman? Do you still remember what I said?"

"Just you wait, we'll play slowly."

Tian Jun stared at him with angry eyes. If not for the uniform he was wearing, Li Tianyi would already be flat on the ground.

Li Tianyi's companions also burst out laughing.

Nothing felt better than mocking the police inside the police station.

"Let's go!"

Zheng Qifeng was worried that Li Tianyi would cause further complications and just wanted to take them away as quickly as possible.

Li Tianyi and the others followed Zheng Qifeng out the door, when he suddenly said, "Uncle Zheng, wait!"

Then, in full view of everyone, he urinated right at the main entrance of the police station.

Zheng Qifeng wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

After finishing, Li Tianyi giggled and shouted loudly toward the inside of the police station, "Police, come out and wash the floor!"

Then he pulled out a stack of money and threw it on the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Their piercing laughter broke the silence of the night; it was destined that someone would be unable to sleep tonight.
