Yang Qingyue kept silent under Ling Qingyu's eyes but she couldn't bear it any longer. She had fought against those types of bullies since childhood without fear.
Perhaps her strong background had allowed her to survive and retain the essential innocence and longing for true righteousness. Now, someone dared to bully Ling Qingyu in front of her, and the urge to beat the fat guy flared up again.
But she wasn't young anymore; her position also restricted her actions. She couldn't act without restraints any longer.
As a police chief and high-level official, her actions must abide by the rules. She stood up and pulled away Ling Qingyu, covering with her body as she whispered. "I'll take care of this."
Ling Qingyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tang Ziyi, who understood what she wanted. All black materials of the fat man could be uncovered soon. But since Yang Qingyue stepped in, she had to show restraint too, since she promised she wouldn't no longer cause illegal acts.
She hadn't even asked Yang Qingyue for forgiveness for the hacking events in the past few days. If she did it again, she had a premonition, that things would go in a direction which she would dislike. The two parties could even become estranged.
Compared with her precious relationship, what was the matter with the fat man's life? Besides, the moment she made a move, it was an overkill like slaughtering the mosquitoes with the cannon power. She didn't plan to bother this guy any longer.
Somehow when Yang Qingyue posed in front of her, Ling Qingyu felt warmth in her heart. Yang Qingyue's action shone a light in her eyes.
"Who are you to talk with me in this serious tone? Don't think with your friend's protection, I can't do anything at you." The fat man said in anger. "Even if your friend is rich and talented, she needs time to grow. The fewer people offended the better for her."
A collective slap on the forehead rang inside the minds of the onlookers. You, fat man, were really courageous. You formed a feud with a ruthless businesswoman. Now, you fought against the police chief whose limelight even capital must give face.
Everyone who hadn't noticed the commotion going on had realized by now and were nearing with their ears perked. Even Mr. Shen was alarmed and hurried to the scene. He was about to save Ling Qingyu from the fat man's action but Yang Qingyue took the first step.
He could only watch from the sideline. He wasn't too worried for Ling Qingyu since he understood her ability. He regretted he lost the chance to show off and handed the scenes over to Yang Qingyue.
"Even with the testimonies, witnesses can give? Not very smart of you."
"I'm a businessman; I made many enemies."
"And my sister beside me too?" Yang Qingyue narrowed her eyes.
"It's an allegation! And it was just a joke." The man stammered. He knew he was in crisis the moment Yang Qingyue admitted her identity.
"I think not, on the contrary. Sorry to disappoint you." Yang Qingyue took out her phone and played the recording. All the voices during which the man unceremoniously threatened Ling Qingyu in various manners were included. "From the serious tones and the CCTV recording here, and my personal sight, I saw no jokes. And I don't have time to fabricate the audio recording, do I?"
The man was completely at a loss and he sat down, wobbling the chair. His eyes searched for rescue from around. Everyone avoided the gaze.
Ling Qingyu widened her eyes at Yang Qingyue's swift method. She was indeed impressed. The young police chief acted thoroughly and strategically, leaving the man in an enclosed corner.
Yang Qingyue dialed a number and spoke while waiting for the other end to receive it. "Sir, I hope you come to our station where we need to talk in detail. Your behavior can be attributed to sex trafficking."
"What trafficking? I didn't even hurl the women around."
"I sure hope you didn't or you'll never end very well." Yang Qingyue said. "But I can still press charge for it. Manipulating women through coercion, controlling their wealth, and making a threat, indirectly asking for intercourse already allow such allegation.
"Hello, Sister Cai. Hmm, nothing emergency happening. I need a team of officers to come to me. We need to take a statement from someone at the police station."
While Yang Qingyue talked on the phone, the man panicked. He wasn't frightened of the sexual allegation because, through his lawyers, he could easily defeat or elongate the process with money.
However, being taken to the station in public meant a serious demise for him. The resulting losses because of Yang Qingyue's action weren't something any rich people could tolerate.
