First installment,
...
Don't be fooled by the sturdy look and handsome face of Mr. Park… Koreans are mostly like this, all crafted by cosmetic surgery; there are very few natural ones, regardless of gender.
But a pillow with fancy embroidery is still just that, it could never suddenly transform into Superman, Ultraman, or a Transformer. With a casual kick, Qin Fang sent the man flying.
"You..."
Minister Gu was instantly dumbfounded. He had not anticipated Qin Fang to act on his words, especially not in front of so many police officers, utterly disregarding them.
"Quick... quick, arrest him... Mr. Park, Mr. Park..."
However, years of experience in the bureaucratic world gave him a quicker response than most, and he immediately ran towards Park Sung-guk, who was slowly falling to the ground, all the while loudly yelling at the police to take action and arrest the culprit.
"Arrest him, do it immediately!"
The officials following Minister Gu also started shouting, each of them carefully rushing over to attend to the two Koreans, their behavior as obsequious as grandsons.
The police knew that a case involving foreigners would be complicated. They had intended to smooth things over but hadn't expected Qin Fang to actually strike. As eyewitnesses, they found it difficult to shirk responsibility.
As for the fact that it was Park Sung-guk who had started the altercation by attacking a Dragon Country student, they conveniently chose to ignore it. They knew well enough in their line of work that facing these foreigners, the locals were inherently disadvantaged. There were always some bureaucrats who would cater to these foreigners like treating them like royalty, even if it meant trampling over their own citizens.
"Sir…"
Unable to smooth over the situation, the police had no choice but to move against Qin Fang. Although, after a brief understanding of the true story, they were also displeased with the two Koreans. Yet they still had to make a move against Qin Fang.
Only...
Just as the lead police officer was about to address Qin Fang and pulled out handcuffs, about to step forward, a fierce-looking giant had already blocked his path, stopping him in his tracks.
This was naturally Guard Chen Gang. In such situations, his intercession was clearly much more effective than Shen Liang's would have been…
"Sir, please do not interfere with our case..."
This police commander was likely a station chief or deputy chief, holding a position that was not very high, or rather, quite low. Almost all the officials accompanying the Koreans outranked him considerably.
He had a vague feeling that Qin Fang and his companions were brazen because they had some backing, possibly something that not even Minister Gu could shake. But duty-bound as he was, and even with his superiors pressuring him, he had no choice but to proceed.
"You... you dare to hit me? I won't let you get away with this…"
But before this police head could engage with Qin Fang, Park Sung-guk, although severely injured with several broken ribs, was conscious enough to lean on his companions' support and furiously roar at Qin Fang, with eyes filled with venom as if he wanted to tear Qin Fang into pieces.
"Damn it, still acting so arrogant..."
Qin Fang might not consider Park Sung-guk a threat, but Shen Liang, who had become enraged and was permitted by Qin Fang, immediately wanted to rush over and give Park Sung-guk another brutal beating.
"Don't mess around..."
As Shen Liang made his move, the officials tending to Park Sung-guk instantly tensed up.
They had already witnessed Shen Liang's terrifying combat ability. For these corpulent officials who excelled in corruption, brown-nosing, and womanizing, no one was a match for them in those arenas, but when it came to fighting, any young guy could beat them beyond recognition...
Exactly because of this, if Shen Liang were to charge them, even with their superior numbers, they likely wouldn't be able to protect Park Sung-guk, not to mention they themselves might end up severely beaten by Shen Liang.
Of course, the police reacted swiftly. When the police chief saw the threat, he was startled, waving his hand, and a dozen officers immediately blocked Shen Liang's way. Although Shen Liang managed to ram through a few officers forcefully, they had no choice but to grudgingly push back.
If Park Sung-guk was hit once, that was their oversight for not intervening in time. But if Park Sung-guk got beaten up again right in front of them, it would not only spell trouble for officials like Minister Gu but also implicate the police officers...
"Stop..."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qin Fang still played the role of the Seastead Divine Needle. With a light shout, Shen Liang immediately halted his steps. Hesitating slightly, he then retreated back to Qin Fang's side.
Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, especially Minister Gu. Seeing Shen Liang retreat, his pale complexion gradually regained some color, and his tense expression was also soothed.
But following that, his official posture quickly returned to him.
"Then... that person, these people assaulted a foreign guest, the evidence is conclusive, why haven't you arrested them yet..."
Minister Gu really did have the makings of a traitor, of being a dog. Just as the situation had somewhat stabilized, he jumped out again to stir up trouble, actually giving direct instructions to the police chief.
The policemen were all hesitating; it was clear that Qin Fang and his group were quite calm because they had something to rely on, which made the officers quite wary.
"Brother Chen, take that Fatty aside to cool off..."
Qin Fang glanced sideways at the pompous fatty Minister Gu. Such a person was truly too despicable. If it weren't for the fact that the fatty was hiding too well, Qin Fang would have liked to go up and kick him a couple of times.
He didn't move, but that didn't mean he was going to let it go. This kind of bureaucrat would only suffer a setback when encountering someone with a deep background like Qin Fang. Had it been an ordinary citizen, who knows how badly they would have been tormented.
Chen Gang nodded slightly and, with a slight shift of his feet, headed straight towards the fatty Minister Gu.
"Hey, you... what are you trying to do... I am a national civil servant, I am an official... Ah!!! Don't hit me..."
Seeing Chen Gang's cold face and his ghostly speed, Minister Gu, who initially puffed out his chest in an upright and unyielding manner, changed completely when the policemen couldn't even move in time and he was already caught by Chen Gang. The fatty instantly turned from a high and mighty official into a scaredy-cat.
Chen Gang didn't even need to lay a hand on him; the young man started wailing on his own, like a pig being slaughtered... covering his face and shouting.
This scene left everyone present stunned for a good while, before bursting into an uproar of laughter. Minister Gu, the fatty, had really lost all his dignity and face...
However, the effect was quite good; his pig-like scream made it difficult for Chen Gang to act, so he simply shook off his arm and carried the guy away, throwing him into the bushes beneath the Great Wall.
"That's better, now it's quiet..."
With the fatty Minister Gu thrown out, Qin Fang's ears were much quieter.
But this move had shocked many people. Generally speaking, everyone knows that civilians should not fight with officials, the wealthy shouldn't contend with them either... It's a bad habit left over from thousands of years of history.
When it comes to government officials, the commoners can't fight against them, and even wealthy tycoons usually avoid conflict with officials. This is a deeply ingrained practice.
But today, Qin Fang obviously changed this fact, not only did he hit Park Sung-guk, the Korean, but he also took care of Minister Gu who was protecting Park Sung-guk... The way he handled things was extremely arrogant, making the remaining officials and policemen freeze in fear, worried they might be the next to be dealt with.
It wasn't that Qin Fang was really so powerful that he dared to act without knowing the other party's identity; in fact, Qin Fang had already found out Minister Gu's identity and rank through the Mind Reading Technique...
While he was called 'Minister', it wasn't implying that the fatty was some high-ranking official. In reality, his rank was merely that of a deputy director, responsible for investment promotion, which was why he was so subservient to these two Koreans.
In the Capital City, officials are as common as dogs, and there are plenty of deputy-level officials... There are quite a few national giants and many senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level, so a deputy-level official like Minister Gu is really not that impressive.
Higher-ranking officials, even those seeking achievements, wouldn't stoop to such a level. Had it been that way, Qin Fang would have despised him.
Minister Gu naturally didn't amount to much, so Qin Fang simply stepped on him directly, knowing Minister Gu couldn't do anything to him...
Having dealt with Minister Gu, the next one to face the music was Park Sung-guk. This kid had been arrogant for too long, even daring to flaunt himself and assault Dragon Country people on Dragon Country's soil. That really was something Uncle could endure, but Auntie could not. If he wasn't disciplined harshly, it would simply be too unfair for the young students who had shed so much blood.
"You... what do you want to do... You dare touch me? I'm the Deputy Chief Representative of the Seven Stars Group's Dragon Country office... My father is a company director... If you touch me, Seven Stars Group will not let you get away with it..."
Park Sung-guk was clearly intimidated by Qin Fang's actions. Add to that the injuries he sustained, which were inflicted by Qin Fang, seeing Qin Fang really made him wary.
But Koreans can never be understood through common sense. Even though he was clearly at a disadvantage, Park Sung-guk seemed to be truly scared, which was evident from his face.
However, the sense of superiority of Koreans was also very speechless. Even at such a time, he dared to be so defiant, challenging Qin Fang with the concept of 'who's daddy is more powerful'...
