74: The scenery is boundless

The police chief clutched his face as he was released, unable to believe his superior would hit him over a Xia Countryman.

"Leader, are you mistaken?"

"He's just some young brat from Xia; what's there to fear? He only has a bit of martial arts skill. Now that he's on my turf, my men will definitely whip him into shape!"

"Even if we kill him, so what? This place is far from any central authority; who's going to care about one murderer?"

the Chief was extremely indignant. He had given his superior plenty of 'tributes' in the past; why would the leader disrespect him so much as to slap him in public?

So, he argued back with great dissatisfaction.

Golden Tooth, who had shared drinks with the fat leader from the city several times, walked up with a smirking face.

"the Chief is right. What's there to care about regarding a Xia kid?"

"If you don't want to get your hands dirty, leave him to me. I'll squeeze every bit of value out of him before burying him in the soil of this land!"

Golden Tooth thought the city leader was making a mountain out of a molehill, so he took the initiative to take the blame.

He wasn't afraid of official personnel from the outside.

On this land, local powers could do whatever they wanted!

The fat leader was already furious, and hearing the two of them overestimating themselves nearly made him explode with rage.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in our business!"

With a kick, he sent Golden Tooth sprawling on the ground, then followed up with several more kicks to vent his frustration.

"Damn it, who do you think you are to talk to me?"

"I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch!"

He cursed while kicking until he was out of breath, only then stopping.

Golden Tooth wailed incessantly on the ground. If he was a local snake, the fat leader was the local emperor!

He might look impressive with many underlings,

But with a single word from the fat leader, the underworld would be reshuffled.

He didn't dare resist, only clutching his head as he took the beating.

the Chief was also stunned, not understanding why the leader was so enraged.

"Leader, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over a Xia guy."

After saying that, the Chief stepped forward, intending to massage the leader's back to help him relax.

The fat leader had never seen such an unobservant subordinate and swung a palm across his face.

"Are you trying to kill me with anger?"

"Do you have any idea how many big shots have called my phone in just these thirty minutes? I'm not afraid of one or two, but so many people, including several of my direct superiors—is this something a measly Chief like you can afford to offend?"

If it weren't for the fact that the Chief was usually obedient, the fat leader would have fired him long ago.

Only then did everyone realize that Qin Yun had an extraordinary background, with many high-level figures they couldn't afford to provoke backing him.

the Chief began to tremble all over, no longer caring about the pain in his face. The thought of offending such a major figure scared him into a cold sweat.

He had used brutal methods to arrest Qin Yun. If this man sought revenge, how could a mere Chief withstand the wrath of so many powerful people?

Golden Tooth, lying on the ground covered in injuries, was also scared to death.

He had a blood feud with Qin Yun. If Qin Yun wanted revenge,

His fate would surely be ten thousand times more miserable than it was now; he would die without a place to be buried!

Faced with such terrifying consequences, Golden Tooth nearly fainted from fear.

He saw that the Chief was hesitating and afraid, so he endured the pain and stood up.

"Chief, why don't we just get rid of Qin Yun directly? That way, the matter won't be exposed. We can just play dumb, and no one can do anything to us."

"At most, when someone from above comes to investigate, I'll just push forward a lackey to take the fall. Won't the problem be solved?"

Golden Tooth bowed his head, using a fawning voice to entice the Chief.

the Chief was very tempted, and the panic on his face smoothed out.

"That's a good idea. Should we do it?"

The decision had to be made by the leader, so the Chief looked up at the fat man with expectant eyes.

The fat leader felt like killing both of them.

These two were truly a pair of idiots; their IQ was lower than a dog's.

Golden Tooth's method might allow those two to escape responsibility,

But what about him? He was the one directly facing the pressure from numerous big shots.

The fat leader would never let his future be affected by one or two insignificant nobodies.

"What kind of place is this? How can there be irrelevant personnel here inciting people!"

"You must be worthy of the uniforms you wear. Act with a conscience and uphold social standards! What are you standing around for? Hurry up and arrest all these criminals!"

When it came to his career, the fat leader was never soft-hearted; he would sacrifice anyone.

This low-life Golden Tooth would be the first sacrificial offering to appease Qin Yun.

If the Chief still couldn't read the situation, he wouldn't mind sending the Chief to prison as well.

Hearing the command from their boss's superior, everyone sprang into action.

Without hesitation, they handcuffed the thugs they had been calling brothers just moments ago.

Even the stupidest person knew that the leader's mind was made up: Golden Tooth was being used as a scapegoat.

the Chief also understood the situation and immediately saluted, giving his guarantee.

"Don't worry, Leader. I will definitely arrest all the lawless elements in town. These people have been committing crimes for years. Fortunately, the Leader is wise and could identify the villains at a glance."

"Under the Leader's brilliant guidance, our entire department will not let a single bad person go, restoring peace to the town!"

"If I don't do a good job, please dismiss me from my post!"

the Chief spoke with such conviction and looked so righteous that someone who didn't know him would think he was a great man.

Seeing the ruthless glint in the leader's eyes, he truly had no choice.

If he didn't draw a clear line between himself and Golden Tooth, his fate would be even worse.

The people he had sent to prison before would be more than happy to share a cell with the Chief.

Seeing the Chief's theatrical performance, no one around dared to say a word.

This was office politics; if you were hated by the boss, your entire career was over.

"Now you're acting like it. What are you still standing there for? Go and welcome Qin Yun out."

A smile appeared on the fat leader's face for the first time, satisfied with the Chief's performance.

"Qin Yun, it was my mistake for believing those villains and slandering you. I sincerely apologize to you now."

"As for those thugs, I won't let a single one go. We will investigate them thoroughly. Do you have any other requests? Just say the word."

Arriving at the room where Qin Yun was held, the Chief personally unlocked the handcuffs for the two of them and bowed in sincere apology.

Seeing the Chief's fawning face, Qin Yun knew that the Member of Parliament he had contacted had made an impact.

He didn't want to see their ugly faces. Knowing he was isolated here, having Golden Tooth's gang arrested was the biggest concession he could get.

"I don't want to see you let a single bad person go!"

After Qin Yun finished speaking, he didn't wait for the Chief's reply and directly led Julia out by the hand.

Regarding Qin Yun's rude behavior, the Chief didn't show a hint of disgust on his face.

With a fawning look, he jogged to catch up.

"Mr. Qin, please rest assured. I will definitely make those people pay the price!"

the Chief respectfully opened the car door for Qin Yun. Once the two were inside, he jogged to the passenger seat like a loyal lackey.

"I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the entire department!"

"You are a magnanimous person; please forgive this blind old man."

"Whatever requests you have, just mention them. I will certainly do as you ask."

...Throughout the journey, the Chief kept apologizing and giving guarantees, never repeating a single phrase.

After listening for a while, Qin Yun couldn't take it anymore and waved his hand. Only then did the Chief fall silent like a lapdog.

The Frauer Family was currently contacting lawyers and influential people, trying to bail Qin Yun and Julia out.

As they were raising money and looking for connections, they were terrified to see a police car arrive.

Could those people be coming to silence them?

It was they who had implicated the two good people, Qin Yun and Julia.

Just as they were overcome with terror and at a loss for what to do,

They saw Qin Yun and Julia stepping out of the police car under the Chief's careful service.
