Chapter 280: Jin Shengshui Misjudges the Situation (1 Update)

"Captain Tang Fei, as long as you uphold the principles of being a police officer and have no selfish motives, that is enough. You are a very excellent young person, and since you are friends with Mr. Zhou, you will definitely go very far."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang instructed Captain Tang Fei earnestly.

In reality, these were just empty words for the sake of appearances. This time, Zhou Lang was in the right regarding the conflict with Jin Kelai, so he naturally wanted Captain Tang Fei to help Zhou Lang. Even if Zhou Lang had been the one to provoke Jin Kelai, he still would have helped Zhou Lang.

He knew Zhou Lang's character well. The deeper he interacted with Zhou Lang, the more mysterious he felt Zhou Lang was, and the more he felt there was a massive power behind Zhou Lang.

First, there was the number one figure in Feiyun City, Secretary Lei Gang, and then the number two figure in the province, Governor Zhao Cang. He knew deeply that the relationship between Zhou Lang and General Qin was extraordinary.

If Zhou Lang did not have much of a background, even if Zhou Lang were in the right, he would not dare to easily let his subordinates arrest Jin Kelai and thereby offend Jin Shengshui. This was because he knew that behind Jin Shengshui stood Deputy Director Wen Heping, who had great influence. He had struggled for many years in his official career to climb to the position of Chief of the Municipal Police Bureau, and he did not want to lose his position so easily.

"Yes, Chief."

But after hearing Police Chief Sun Yongkang's words, Captain Tang Fei felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

"Chief, someone outside claiming to be Jin Shengshui wants to see you. This person is furious, and his secretary is an expert. I said you were busy interrogating a prisoner, but he tried to barge in. We could not stop them. If you do not go out, they might just start a fight."

Just after Captain Tang Fei finished the phone call, a police officer knocked on her office door and reported to her in a hurry.

"Jin Shengshui is Jin Kelai's father. Let's go, follow me to see this arrogant Jin Shengshui!" Captain Tang Fei stood up from the leather chair in her office and walked outside.

"You little lackeys dare to stop me? Call Captain Tang Fei out immediately! I am Jin Shengshui. Tell her that if she hides and refuses to see me, I can have her removed from her post with one phone call."

Before Captain Tang Fei reached the lobby of the police station, she heard someone shouting loudly. The arrogance in his words was fully exposed.

She could not help but frown. Jin Shengshui had started making threats before even meeting her. She knew she had completely offended the Jin family. As long as she did not release Jin Kelai, there would be no room for maneuver in this matter.

"Who is making such a loud noise here? Don't you know this is a police station? If you have any business, handle it according to the procedures."

Captain Tang Fei walked to the lobby and saw a fair-skinned, middle-aged man in his forties and a Crew-cut Man pushing several of her subordinates. She immediately walked over and personally stopped the two of them. She knew that these two were Jin Shengshui and his secretary, who had come for the matter regarding Jin Kelai.

"You must be Captain Tang Fei, right?"

The fair-skinned, middle-aged man looked at Captain Tang Fei and said, his eyes full of contempt. His condescending attitude was even more arrogant than Jin Kelai's. It must be said that this father and son really had a lot in common.

"That's right, who are you?" Captain Tang Fei asked, feigning ignorance.

"I am Jin Kelai's father. You've finally decided to come out. Release him immediately," Jin Shengshui said.

"You don't seem to be my superior, do you? Your son has committed an offense. If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. You should think more about whether there is a problem with your own upbringing, rather than coming to the police station to make a scene."

Captain Tang Fei said: "I advise you to go back. Making a scene won't solve any problems. Regarding your son's matter, the law will provide a fair explanation."

"I am indeed not your superior, but my brother-in-law, Deputy Director Wen Heping, is your superior. With just one phone call from me, you will be removed from your post immediately. You had better be obedient."

Jin Shengshui said arrogantly. Captain Tang Fei was just a sub-bureau chief, and he did not take her seriously at all. He thought the same as his son, Jin Kelai: as long as they brought out Deputy Director Wen Heping, Captain Tang Fei and her people would be scared out of their wits and would have to be obedient.

"Director Jin, I have no grudges against you, and today is our first meeting. I have no reason to deliberately offend you. I also know that your son Jin Kelai's uncle is Deputy Director Wen Heping of the provincial department, but your son was arrested by me only because he committed an offense. No one can be above the law. Even if you call Deputy Director Wen Heping, he will support my decision."

Captain Tang Fei said. Although she was a Tyrannosaurus Policewoman, she knew when to pick her battles when dealing with people with backgrounds like Jin Shengshui.

She was very clever; she first placed herself on the side of the law. In this way, even if Deputy Director Wen Heping wanted to cause trouble for her because she arrested Jin Kelai, he would have to be a bit wary.

After all, in modern society, information spreads quickly. People like Deputy Director Wen Heping have to pay attention to public opinion. If the matter becomes a huge scandal and public opinion becomes extremely unfavorable to Deputy Director Wen Heping, Deputy Director Wen Heping would also have to suffer the consequences.

"Captain Tang Fei, stop putting on an act. My son had a conflict with someone, which at most counts as fighting, and both sides have responsibility. You only arrested my son and did not arrest the other party involved. You have already broken the law. Just based on this, I can have you removed from your post."

Jin Shengshui was no pushover, and he retorted immediately. He did not know who had the conflict with his son, but he believed that this person must have a connection with Captain Tang Fei. Only then would Captain Tang Fei defy Police Chief Sun Yongkang's orders and directly arrest his son.

"Who is breaking the law is not for you to decide, Director Jin. Your son harassed the female doctor, Zhu Yan, at the City Peoples Hospital, and he was the one who first attacked Zhu Yan's friend, Zhou Lang. All of this has video surveillance as proof. If I do not arrest him, should I arrest Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan instead?"

Captain Tang Fei looked at Jin Shengshui and said without giving an inch.

"It's just a fight, not a serious crime, right? Is the other party injured?"

Jin Shengshui was stunned and thought to himself, why was his son so careless this time? Even if he wanted to make a move, he should not have chosen a place with surveillance, right? But he was a cunning man and immediately shifted the direction of the topic.

"Fighting is indeed not a serious crime. We would just bring him back to take a statement, educate him, fine him, or detain him for a few days. But I did not expect your son to actually assault police officers, injure two of my subordinates while trying to escape, and repeatedly declare that he wants to kill me, and even everyone in our entire police sub-bureau. The nature of the matter is different. I have recordings and videos of all these. If you do not believe it, you can hire a lawyer to negotiate."

Captain Tang Fei said. Jin Shengshui was aggressive, so she fought back with reason.

"Captain Tang Fei, there is no benefit in fighting against our Jin family."

Jin Shengshui said angrily: "Your subordinates were injured? I'll just pay the money. Who does my son think he is? You actually locked him up? Stop your nonsense and release him immediately!"

"Director Jin, not everything can be solved with money. As the chief of the Linwu District Police Sub-bureau in Feiyun City, I only have eyes for the law."

Captain Tang Fei said.

"Then do not regret it."

Jin Shengshui glared at Captain Tang Fei and said this, then said to his secretary: "Let's go!"

Soon, Jin Shengshui left.

However, Captain Tang Fei's subordinates became somewhat worried. Their beautiful chief had offended someone like Deputy Director Wen Heping, and they did not know if she would suffer. However, they were of low status and had little influence, so they could not help much and did not know what to say.

"This Captain Tang Fei is actually so unreasonable. It seems I really have to make a call to my brother-in-law."

Back in the car outside the police sub-bureau, Jin Shengshui said angrily.

"Director, I think this matter is a bit strange."

Jin Shengshui's secretary said cautiously: "Police Chief Sun Yongkang's phone call could not get through, which seems a bit wrong. Captain Tang Fei is just a small sub-bureau chief; why would she dare to arrest Young Master Jin? Could this matter have something to do with Police Chief Sun Yongkang?"

"Now that you mention it, it really is possible. But why would Police Chief Sun Yongkang do this?" Jin Shengshui thought for a moment and said: "However, I will call him again."

This time, Police Chief Sun Yongkang picked up Jin Shengshui's call.

"Chief Sun, you really are a busy man. You did not have time to answer when I called you earlier?" As soon as the call connected, Jin Shengshui said sarcastically on the phone.

"Old classmate, stop saying things like that. I know you called to hold me accountable, right?" Police Chief Sun Yongkang said.

"Of course I want to hold you accountable. What about the thing you promised to help me with? Now my son has been arrested by your subordinates, while the person who beat my son is completely fine. What exactly is going on? You should give me an explanation, right?"

Jin Shengshui said coldly.

Usually, he would have been polite to Police Chief Sun Yongkang, but at this moment, he did not have time for pleasantries. His relationship with his brother-in-law, Deputy Director Wen Heping, was so close that they were like two peas in a pod, and Deputy Director Wen Heping was Police Chief Sun Yongkang's superior. He really did not need to be too polite to Police Chief Sun Yongkang.

"Old classmate, you did not make things clear at the time. You only said your son had a dispute with someone at the Jasmine Restaurant, but you did not make it clear who your son had offended."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang said.

"Who did my son offend?"

Jin Shengshui said. At this moment, he still did not have any vigilance. He thought that in Feiyun City, there was no one he could not suppress. Even if it were Secretary Lei Gang, his power was not as great as Deputy Director Wen Heping's.

"I have already found out clearly. That person is named Zhou Lang, and his background is mysterious. I only had Captain Tang Fei arrest your son after I learned that your son had offended Zhou Lang."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang said: "I just received a call from Secretary Lei Gang. Secretary Lei wants me to handle this matter impartially and not have any favoritism. Old classmate, you should know now who is in the wrong in this matter. My opinion is to turn a big issue into a small one and a small one into nothing."

"Police Chief Sun Yongkang, it seems Zhou Lang and Secretary Lei Gang have a close relationship. Do you think Secretary Lei Gang is more powerful than my brother-in-law, Deputy Director Wen Heping? Are you not afraid of offending my Jin family and Deputy Director Wen Heping by following him?"

Jin Shengshui was stunned for a moment and then became furious. He made a wrong judgment, which was that Zhou Lang's background was Secretary Lei Gang.

"Zhou Lang's connections are far from as simple as you think. I wanted Captain Tang Fei to arrest your son to prevent him from making a big mistake. Do not misunderstand my meaning."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang explained.

"I do not want to hear you say these things. Police Chief Sun Yongkang, you and Captain Tang Fei can wait to be removed from your posts."

Jin Shengshui could not listen to anything Police Chief Sun Yongkang said anymore. He said this viciously and hung up the phone.

Then, without any hesitation, he made a phone call to his brother-in-law, Deputy Director Wen Heping.

He did not have any sense of awe at all. His misjudgment of Zhou Lang's background would make him regret it for the rest of his life. Of course, this is a story for another time and will not be mentioned for now.
