Chapter Thirty-One: Everything Was Settled

  "Dad, is it that serious? We just had a fight with Kang Wei. Even if I was the one who started it, he didn't suffer any losses." Long Yu Fei slightly furrowed his brow as he explained.

  "Hmph!" Long Dong coldly snorted, "If only it were that simple! Do you know who the young man with Kang Wei is? That's Cui Shengzhang's youngest son!"

  This is too much for Long Yu Fei, isn't it? He's so unlucky that he accidentally kicked the iron plate.

  Chui Shengli, the full name of Chui Province Governor, was transferred from a neighboring province to take up the post of governor of Zhong'an Province just last year. He has two sons, his elder son Chui Zhiqiang is now working in a coastal province, while his younger son Chui Zhi Jie has been studying in the province where he used to work.

  After the college entrance examination, Cui Zhijie followed his mother to Anping and reunited with his father. However, he was beaten and lost two teeth just a few days after arriving.

  Long Yu Fei's face showed a hint of panic, and he anxiously asked: "Dad... what should we do now?"

  "What else can we do? You'll come with me to the hospital to apologize to Little Cui!" Long Xiangdong said somewhat helplessly. Now was the crucial moment when he and Kang Dezhou were competing for district head, who would have thought that his own useless son had beaten up the governor's son!

  "What about Shaokun and Da Kui?"

  "What are you worried about at this time?" Long Dong frowned and said sternly.

  "But I was the one who started this, and I was the first to fight. Shao Kun and the others were just trying to protect me..." Long Yu Fei hastily explained, but Long Xiang Dong clearly wasn't in the mood to listen to any of that right now.

  "Alright! You're so big now, when can you be more sensible?! Ah?! What do you want me to do? Go tell Director Wang to release those two friends of yours?"

  After a loud roar, Long Dong's temper seemed to have calmed down. He let out a long sigh and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Yu Fei, you should know that the provincial governor's son having two teeth knocked out is no small matter! Someone must take responsibility for this!"

  "If I'm going to take responsibility, then let me take it! In any case, I won't let my brother bear the blame for me." Long Yufei said with red eyes.

  "How dare you..."

  Long Dong slapped the table and shouted, but before he could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door. Wang Suo hastily pushed open the door and came in, saying: "Director Long, Director Jiang from the branch bureau and Secretary Fan from the municipal bureau have arrived."

  Long Dong's face changed upon hearing the words, and he hastily got up to welcome them outside. As he passed by his son, he whispered: "Don't talk nonsense later on, let Dad handle this matter. As for your two friends...Dad will give them some compensation after things are over."

  Long Yufei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, could he really let Shao Kun and Da Kui take the blame for him? No! He couldn't do that! No matter what compensation Dad would give to Shao Kun and Da Kui afterwards, it was all useless, he didn't want to disappoint his brothers!

  Long Dong hadn't left the door yet, when a chaotic footsteps came from the corridor, followed by two middle-aged policemen in uniform walking in. The first one was Fan Luoming, Secretary of Anping Municipal Politics and Law Committee and Director of Public Security Bureau. At this moment, he had a dark face and frowned, obviously in a bad mood.

  And another one who was slightly behind him was the director of the Nanzing District Public Security Bureau, he rushed towards Long Xiangdong with a wry smile and made an eye gesture, apparently reminding him that this matter might be big.

  Apart from these two people, also present were Kang Dequan, Vice District Chief of Nanshan District Committee, and his beloved son Kang Yi.

  However, at this time, Kang Yi's head was wrapped in thick gauze, and even walking required his father's support. If someone didn't know the details, they might have thought he had been in a car accident.

  "Ah, Secretary Fan, I'm really sorry about this. I didn't expect such a small matter to disturb even you." Long Xiangdong's face broke into a smile as he hastily extended both hands in greeting to Fan Luoming.

  But who would have thought that Fan Luming didn't give him any face at all, with his hands still behind his back, saying: "Comrade Xiang Dong is also here, it seems you're still very concerned about our public security system's work."

  Long Dong somewhat awkwardly withdrew his hand and forced a smile, saying: "Secretary Fan was just joking."

  "Hmm!" Fan Luoming let out a light hum, directly sitting on the sofa and taking off his police hat. He said to Wang Suozhang: "Little Wang, under broad daylight with everyone watching, such a severe violent incident occurred in your jurisdiction! You must handle this matter well, no matter what. I and the director of your branch bureau are waiting for the result right here today. If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep being the director!"

  Director Wang's face turned pale and he hastily said: "Please rest assured, Secretary. I...I will definitely investigate and handle it as soon as possible."

  Long Dong, who was standing beside him, also changed his expression. It seems that Fan Luoming is going to make a big deal out of this matter. I don't know if it's his own intention or Governor Cui's intention. If it's really Governor Cui's intention, then this matter will be a big deal indeed.

  Long Dong made a dry laugh and tentatively opened his mouth, "Secretary Fan, isn't this making a big deal out of nothing? I've also looked into this matter, it's just some kids who had a verbal argument and got into a scuffle, can't be considered a violent incident, right?"

  "Old dragon, how can you say that? My son has been beaten like this, is this a small friction?" Secretary Fan had not yet spoken when Kang Deqiang on the side spoke with a face full of anger, saying: "Secretary Fan, I request that the public security organs give us victims an explanation!"

  "Comrade De Duan, please be calm and don't worry. You have to believe in the capabilities of our public security organs, rest assured, we will definitely give you and other victims a satisfactory answer!" Secretary Fan said with a wave of his hand.

  Long Dong's facial muscles twitched slightly, he figured it out, Kang De and Fan Luoming were here to sing a duet! Obviously, both sides had made mistakes, but how did they become the victims? Isn't that just shifting all the blame onto his own son?

  But thinking about it, it's normal. Fan Luming was originally Cui Provincial Governor's confidant. The first thing Cui Provincial Governor did after taking office last year was to transfer him from a neighboring province. If the current provincial hall director didn't have a strong backing, I'm afraid the head of the provincial public security department would be someone with the surname Fan!

  Since Fan Luming arrived, Kang Wei has been following closely in his footsteps. For Fan Luming to gain a foothold in Anping Station, it can be said that he made great contributions. Fan Luming introduced him as his confidant and even recommended him to Governor Cui, otherwise how could Kang Wei have invited Cui Zhijie to dinner?

  Long Dong's heart sank slightly as he thought of this, and this matter had obviously exceeded his expectations.

  "Comrades Dong and De, you two are relatives of the parties involved. I suggest that you'd better not participate in this matter. Rest assured, the public security organs will definitely enforce the law impartially!"

  Kang De's mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a faint cold smile, while Long Xiang Dong had a gloomy face. Fan Lu Ming was clearly trying to kick himself out of the situation and make it impossible for him to intervene, but he was powerless to do so!

  With some worry, he glanced at his son and said, "What Secretary Fan said is right. As a family member of the parties involved, we should indeed withdraw." After finishing speaking, he continued to Long Yufei, "Yufei, you must cooperate fully with the public security organs' investigation, say whatever you have to say, don't hide anything at all, got it?"

  Long Yufei nodded slightly and said nothing, but in his heart he felt a slight relief. Even if the final result was very bad, at least he had done right by his brothers. He hadn't been a deserter. But thinking again, his heart felt somewhat bitter. In the end, it was still his impulsiveness that had dragged down his brothers.
