"Wu Hongzhi, are you just going to stand there and watch these two ignorant fools run amok here,"

Yu Zhili's face was numb from the slap he received from Wang Xiaoqiang, and his mouth had also gone numb, but Feng Yan was still arrogantly pointing at Wu Hongzhi and loudly berating him.

Wu Hongzhi was aware of the temperament of this second-generation rich, but he hadn't anticipated that Feng Yan would turn on him so quickly. On hearing her words, he felt a moment of stifled humiliation.

The traffic accident itself was a trivial matter: Li Xianghong's motor tricycle had scraped against Yu Zhili's BMW, and the BMW lost only a few hair-thin layers of paint, while Li Xianghong's tricycle had its rear basket scratched. In essence, both parties were responsible, each holding half the blame. It could have been settled amicably, but Yu Zhili refused to let it go.

Feng Yan stepped out of the car and, without any discussion, slapped Li Xianghong, then demanded a compensation of thirty thousand yuan.

However, once Wu Hongzhi recognized the identity of Yu Zhili and Feng Yan, he immediately placed the principal responsibility on Li Xianghong. For one, Li Xianghong was a country woman, inexperienced with the world. When she heard the demand for thirty thousand yuan in compensation, she was immediately bewildered and speechless.

Yu Zhili and Feng Yan's identities were well known, and neither were people he could afford to offend, especially since the two were a couple, their combined influence could end his career as the traffic police squad captain.

Seeing the situation, he naturally sided with Yu Zhili. In order to resolve the incident quickly, he had no choice but to help Yu Zhili and company, bringing both parties to the Traffic Police Squad mediation room, where he quietly intimidated and lectured Li Xianghong, coaxing her to agree to the compensation.

Unexpectedly, the other party also had a significant background, they had called in a brigade commander with the rank of senior colonel from the military region. At this point, Wu Hongzhi didn't dare to act rashly.

Although Feng Yan was scolding him fiercely, he didn't dare to show any disrespect towards Wang Xiaoqiang and Lin Juxiong, forcing a smile, he said, "Let's all calm down, it would be best to sit down calmly and talk things over. Honestly, this isn't a big issue, no need to damage relationships over such a small matter..."

"Amicable? To hell with being amicable! Who wants to be amicable with them? Tell him to kneel down and kowtow to us for an apology, or else...hehe..." Having said this, Feng Yan sneered coldly and arrogantly.

"We all have our own status and background, there's no need to create an irreparable situation..." Wu Hongzhi, looking at Feng Yan's brazen attitude, truly wanted to throw his hat in and give up, but he didn't dare. He could only try to persuade her again and at the same time made covert eye signals to Feng Yan, trying to communicate that the other party's identity was not trivial.

Feng Yan, engulfed by her anger, paid no attention to Wu Hongzhi's gestures, nor did she discern the deeper meaning behind his words. Seeing that she had vehemently berated and even threatened him, yet Wu Hongzhi still maintained a conciliatory demeanor,

Feng Yan suddenly clutched her stomach, crouching down, but she wasn't about to let things go just because she felt unwell. She immediately took out her cell phone and called her brother Feng Weijun, who was a deputy director at the Public Security Bureau.

Seeing Feng Yan calling for backup, Wang Xiaoqiang knew that the other party had connections, but he didn't take it to heart. He simply pulled Li Xianghong down to sit and said, "Aunt Xiang Hong, don't worry, let's sit down and rest, let them be busy..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words meant for them to call in their connections first, and then they would do the same. Li Xianghong, having heard that Wang Xiaoqiang knew people in the county town, felt somewhat relieved and quietly informed him of Feng Yan's identity.

Having heard her, Wang Xiaoqiang patted her hand and said, "It's all right, trust me!"

When Wu Hongzhi saw Feng Yan making a phone call, he knew that she was calling in someone, and he could guess that she was probably calling her brother Feng Weijun, the deputy director of the county Public Security Bureau. At this point, his heart was also pounding with anxiety. He inwardly cursed his bad luck for getting involved in this mess today!

At that moment, Li Xianghong also explained the whole situation to Wang Xiaoqiang in detail. The more he heard, the more infuriated he became, not only with Yu Zhili and Feng Yan for their bullying but also with Wu Hongzhi for abetting them.

Angered, he stood up, approached Wu Hongzhi, and glared at him: "Captain Wu, do you think your handling of today's accident lives up to your uniform?"

Wu Hongzhi, feeling guilty, lowered his head, his heart thundering inside his chest.

Seeing a captain of the traffic police trembling under the other party's accusations, Yu Zhili and Feng Yan couldn't help but suspect—did this young man have some clout? Yet, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang looked to be under twenty and didn't seem like anyone significant—just a rural lad—they immediately dismissed the notion.

The deputy director of the county Public Security Bureau, upon hearing that his sister had been struck at the traffic police station, was enraged. Though his sister was a bit spoiled, she was the only precious sister of the family, the apple of their eye. Now, she had been struck and her future brother-in-law Yu Zhili had also been hit, and all this happened in one of his subordinate departments.

If word got out, how would he, the deputy director, endure it? He immediately postponed his work and rushed over.

When Feng Weijun arrived at the Traffic Police Squad's mediation room, his eyes scanned for his sister. As soon as he saw her crouching on the ground, clutching her stomach, his heart sank, "Xiaoyan, are you alright?"

"Brother, I'm fine! I was just slapped..." Feng Yan shook her head as she spoke, her gaze venomously fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang.

Just a slap..." Feng Weijun fixated on his sister, spotting a trace of blood, he exclaimed in shock, "How could a slap cause such injuries?"

Feng Yan had an underlying condition.

This is so embarrassing!

Feng Yan's face turned beet red upon hearing this, and as Feng Weijun shouted out, everyone's gaze also focused on Feng Yan.

A slap shouldn't make someone bleed, right? Even if it does cause bleeding, it should come from the mouth, right? How could there be blood flowing down?

While the men were confused, a voice rang out, "She... she's here!"

It was the other female in the mediation room, Li Xianghong. As a woman, she understood the situation instantly. Seeing the clueless look on all the men's faces, she seemed heartless as she blurted it out.

As soon as Li Xianghong spoke, Feng Yan's face reddened even more, burning with shame. She shot Li Xianghong a scathing look, then hung her head and hid her face behind her long hair.

Seeing this, Feng Weijun was extremely embarrassed. He immediately ordered Yu Zhili... "Zhili, you go help Little Yan back first. I'll handle this matter!"

"#￥%*+..." Yu Zhili opened his mouth and uttered a string of gibberish, sounding like someone who was partially mute. It looked quite comical.

It was because of the slap Wang Xiaoqiang delivered, which he infused with Metal Element Spiritual Energy, and it had been a bit too strong, taking Yu Zhili a while to recover.

All the others, apart from Wang Xiaoqiang, found this quite peculiar. Feng Weijun's gaze hardened on Yu Zhili's mouth. "Zhili, what... what happened to your mouth?" he asked.

Yu Zhili pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and then gave Feng Weijun a pitiful stare.

Feng Weijun's gaze fell on Wang Xiaoqiang, scrutinizing him seriously. After just one glance, he exclaimed, "You... you're Wang Xiaoqiang, aren't you?"

"Uh, yes, it's me. It's rare that Director Feng still remembers me!" Wang Xiaoqiang replied with a smile.

Last time, because of the incident with Yao Zhihao, Wang Xiaoqiang had spent two days at the police station. Deputy Director Feng Weijun had met Wang Xiaoqiang and knew about his extraordinary relationship with Director Tang Guowei. Although Tang Guowei's father, Tang Mingyuan, had retired, he still had connections in the county government and was not someone to be offended lightly.

So when he heard that it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had hit his sister and brother-in-law, though he was angry inside, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he waved at Yu Zhili again, "Are you not embarrassed enough? Take Little Yan out first!"

Indeed, the person who felt the most embarrassed about Feng Yan's condition was Feng Weijun himself.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhili immediately assisted Feng Yan and took her out.

Seeing that Deputy Director Feng Weijun recognized Wang Xiaoqiang, Wu Hongzhi was surprised and also secretly relieved.

However, just when he was feeling relieved, he saw Feng Weijun's gaze fixed on him, lethal enough to kill: "Captain Wu, what exactly is going on here?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that it was all over. Both parties involved had significant backing, and they knew each other. It was possible he would end up becoming their scapegoat.

But Wu Hongzhi had become the Captain of the Traffic Police Squad for good reason; he was no fool. He immediately stepped forward, weakly grasped Feng Weijun's arm, and said, "Director Feng, can I have a word with you in private?" while winking at him.

"What can't be said here, say it! Be honest; otherwise, I'll not let you off!" Feng Weijun, however, shook off Wu Hongzhi's hand. Seeing this, how could he not understand? It must be that his sister and future brother-in-law were in the wrong. Otherwise, Wu Hongzhi would not have asked to speak privately.

He knew that sometimes the behavior of the privileged was tolerated and even enabled by the law enforcement.

Seeing Feng Weijun's attitude, Wu Hongzhi felt extremely dismayed. If he told the truth, wouldn't he just be seen as enabling them? But if he lied, with Li Xianghong, an involved party, present, he certainly wouldn't be able to get away with it.

After a hard struggle with himself, he finally came clean about the entire incident.

The more Feng Weijun heard, the angrier he became. He was angry at his sister and brother-in-law for being foolish, angry at Wu Hongzhi for indulging them, and in a fit of rage, he slapped Wu Hongzhi in the face: "Damn it, is this the way you handle things! Do you know the consequences of what you have done?" (To be continued.
