Best Young Master

33: Chapter 031 [From Heaven to Hell] 33: Chapter 031 [From Heaven to Hell] In the yard of Chunjiang Police Station, Zhang Li, Li Bin, and others all craned their necks, trying to see the situation outside the police station, but since Ye Fan and Zhu Gang had moved several meters during their confrontation, they couldn’t see anything at all.

Swish!

Shortly after, before Zhang Li and the others could make sense of it, Dong Jianjun returned once more.

In an instant, everyone retracted their necks and stood up straight.

Under the lamp light, they appeared to be avoiding direct eye contact, but in reality, they were using their peripheral vision to stare at the gate.

Still, they couldn’t spot Ye Fan; all they saw was Dong Jianjun’s cold, frosty, and chubby face.

Could it be that the bastard had escaped?

Seeing that Ye Fan hadn’t appeared and noticing the drastic change in Dong Jianjun’s expression from the warmth of spring to the chill of winter, Zhang Li couldn’t help but secretly question himself.

It must be so.

After a brief consideration, Zhang Li confirmed his guess, feeling somewhat regretful about Ye Fan’s escape.

However, the thought of his own ploy tonight seen by Dong Jianjun and the likelihood of being rapidly promoted because of it refreshed Zhang Li as if he were enjoying an ice cream in the heat of summer.

“Zhang Li!”

Just as Zhang Li was feeling excited about his imminent promotion, Dong Jianjun, with a grim expression, walked to the front of the lineup and swept his gaze over Zhang Li like a sharp blade.

Perhaps because he was guilty, the sudden sharp gaze from Dong Jianjun made Zhang Li feel like he was electrocuted; he shuddered and instinctively took a step forward, saluting, “Present!”

“You just said that Liu Baohua sent you to capture the perpetrator of the ‘CC Bar Assault Case,’ right?” Dong Jianjun asked coldly.

“Yes, Mr.

Dong!”

Seeing the significant change in Dong Jianjun’s attitude towards him, Zhang Li felt something was amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint the issue, so he answered honestly.

Dong Jianjun asked again, “Do you know what transpired in the case?”

“Uh…”

Zhang Li couldn’t help but be at a loss for words; previously, Liu Baohua had only informed him over the phone that someone had injured Gou Zhifeng’s son, Gou Wei, and he was taken to Chunjiang police station to transfer the case to his team.

As for how Ye Fan had injured Gou Wei, and why, he was completely in the dark, knowing nothing at all.

“Answer my question!” Dong Jianjun suddenly shouted.

“Yes…

Yes!”

Zhang Li, frightened, felt weak in the knees and broke out in a cold sweat, saying, “Reporting to Mr.

Dong, Director Liu only told me the perpetrator severely injured a person named Gou Wei; he didn’t tell me the specific reasons or details…”

“Li Bin!”

Before Zhang Li could finish, Dong Jianjun sharply cut him off, his gaze sweeping towards Li Bin.

“Present!” Li Bin stepped forward, very anxious.

“Did you report the details of the case to Liu Baohua?”

“Re…

Report to the director, no.”

Li Bin almost hesitated but chose to speak the truth.

“I planned to bring the suspect back for interrogation first and then decide based on the severity of the case whether to report it or not, but on the way back, I received a phone call from Director Liu.

He instructed me over the phone that the criminal police team would take over this case.”

As he spoke, Li Bin gathered his courage to meet Dong Jianjun’s icy gaze.

Seeing this, knowing Li Bin had not lied, Dong Jianjun didn’t say much more and directly took out his mobile phone to dial Liu Baohua’s number.

“Mr.

Dong.”

Since Liu Baohua had called Dong Jianjun, he had been holding his phone, awaiting orders.

Seeing that Dong Jianjun was calling, he immediately answered.

“Liu Baohua, you’ve got some nerve!”

Hearing Liu Baohua’s voice, Dong Jianjun felt as if his anger was ignited, and he immediately berated him, “Who gave you the authority to bypass procedures and interfere with the case privately?”

“Uh…”

As Dong Jianjun’s scolding echoed in his ears, Liu Baohua felt like he was prodded by a needle, bouncing up from the couch, his mouth agape, trying to say something, but he felt as if something was stuck in his throat and couldn’t utter a word.

Seeing that Liu Baohua was silent, Dong Jianjun asked sternly, “Do you know about the incident that occurred at the entrance of CC Bar tonight?”

“I…

I know.”

Instinct and reason told Liu Baohua that something was wrong with the case, but since things had come to this, he had no choice but to stiffly reply, “A person named Gou Wei was severely injured…”

“Why was he severely injured?” Dong Jianjun asked.

“Uh…”

Liu Baohua was taken aback; Gou Zhifeng had just informed him about Gou Wei being beaten, but as for why, how would he know?

“Answer me!” Dong Jianjun roared.

This sudden roar sounded by Zhang Li’s ear like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, startling him so much that he nearly plopped onto the sofa.

Cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, yet Liu Baohua did not dare to wipe it away; instead, he let it slide down his cheeks, stammering, “Report…

Report to Mr.

Dong, I don’t know about this…”

“You don’t know and yet you f***ing dare to let the criminal police arrest people?

And you even use violence in law enforcement?”

Thinking of Ye Fan’s identity, which even he himself was not qualified to know, Dong Jianjun felt a chill.

Upon hearing Liu Baohua’s response, he became utterly enraged and cursed coarsely, “Do you even have any regard for the law and discipline?”

Click!

Hearing Dong Jianjun’s scolding again, Liu Baohua was so frightened that his heart lurched, his hand trembled, and he nearly threw his phone away.

“Tomorrow morning at eight, you are to personally come to my office to hand over your duties!”

After a bout of scolding, Dong Jianjun had vented most of his anger.

He no longer lashed out in front of his subordinates, instead, he coldly uttered a sentence and then hung up the phone.

“Whoosh—”

As the words ‘hand over your duties’ rang by his ear, Liu Baohua shuddered all over, and his phone instantly slipped from his hand.

With a “smash,” it shattered into pieces.

Liu Baohua did not look at the phone he had just bought recently; instead, he stood rigid, sweating profusely like rain.

“Old Liu, what’s wrong?” Liu’s wife, upon seeing this, was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask.

“It’s over, it’s all over!”

Liu Baohua’s face turned ashen as he collapsed onto the sofa.

Although he did not know what exactly had happened that caused such a drastic change in Dong Jianjun’s attitude, based on Dong Jianjun’s demeanor and the phrase ‘hand over your duties,’ he knew his career was effectively finished.

“Zhang Li, who gave you the authority to use violent law enforcement without even being aware of the case?”

After hanging up the phone, Dong Jianjun’s gaze swept coldly towards Zhang Li, completely forgetting the praise he had earlier given him.

“I… I…”

Cold sweat poured out like it was free, soaking Zhang Li’s clothes instantly.

He didn’t dare to shout ‘The police are for the people’ as confidently as before but looked at Dong Jianjun with a face full of terror.

“Remember, your power is given by the people.

The people grant you authority to serve them, not to exercise special privileges over them, and definitely not to enforce the law violently on them!”

Dong Jianjun spoke righteously, “Your actions have desecrated the police uniform you wear—you don’t deserve to wear this uniform.

Take it off and get out!”

“Uh…”

Although Zhang Li had somewhat braced himself, hearing Dong Jianjun tell him to get lost made him feel as though he had plummeted from heaven into hell, his mind went blank, and his whole body went limp and collapsed to the floor like a pile of mud.

How…

how could this happen?

Why had Mr.

Dong’s attitude changed so drastically?

He stared at Dong Jianjun’s cold, frosty face, questioning himself, yet could not fathom a reason.

“Li Bin!” Seeing this, Dong Jianjun disregarded Zhang Li, who lay like a dead dog, and turned his gaze back to Li Bin.

“Present!” Li Bin answered somewhat nervously.

“You have done very well.”

Dong Jianjun stated solemnly, “From now on, this case is entirely yours to handle.

I expect to see a result within twenty-four hours that satisfies and seems fair to the public—can you do it?”

“Guaranteed to complete the task!”

Li Bin was initially taken aback, then, realizing the rare chance for promotion, he loudly accepted the order, inwardly relieved that he had seen the situation clearly in advance and hadn’t blindly stumbled into murky waters.

…

As Dong Jianjun and Zhu Gang drove away from Chunjiang Police Station, Ye Fan and Su Jindi took a taxi back to CC Bar.

It was nearing midnight, and the bar was no longer bustling with noise.

Nearly half of the patrons had already left, leaving behind those who were keen on the nightlife.

Liu Qin stood at the office door, surveyed the bar, glanced at the Vacheron Constantin on her wrist, and noticed it was Ling Tian.

She then spoke briefly to the bar manager before leaving the bar alone.

Shortly after,

Liu Qin walked out of the bar under the watchful gaze and covert peeks of the security guard, about to head towards her BMW when she suddenly saw Ye Fan and Su Jindi getting into Su Jindi’s flashy Lamborghini one after the other.

Huh?

This discovery involuntarily halted her steps, and her enchanting almond eyes widened in shock.

How…

how is he out?

For a moment, Liu Qin’s mind was completely filled with this thought, her surprised expression as vivid as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
