Chapter 2499 - 2563: The Winds Have Changed
District Chief Yue even thought that the people inside might really dare to act, and they would be ruthless, so coming in alone without backup seemed too dangerous now..."Enough, I don’t want to waste time with you. District Chief Yue, as of today, your authority ends here!" Seeing that District Chief Yue was just so-so, Li Yifei couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him and waved his hand, saying, "Arrest him!"
"What?" District Chief Yue almost thought he heard wrong. Damn it, I’m at least a district chief, and you think you can just arrest me like that? Who do you think you are? However, before he could react, Zhao Tiezhu, who was a few steps away, took two strides, rushed in front of District Chief Yue, and grabbed his shoulder.
Zhao Tiezhu’s big hand was like a clamp, gripping District Chief Yue’s shoulder, making him unable to move. The force he exerted made it impossible for District Chief Yue to break free. Unable to keep his dignity, he grabbed Zhao Tiezhu’s hand with both hands, trying to push it away.
"Let go of me!" District Chief Yue said angrily, but he couldn’t push Zhao Tiezhu away even with all his strength, not to mention that other police officers were also reaching out. These officers were very excited—they never dreamed they would one day arrest a district chief. This was beyond expectations, but today it actually happened.
"Damn you... let me go, are you rebelling?" District Chief Yue shouted while struggling. Inside the room, when Yue Liang and the others saw this scene, after a brief moment of shock, they immediately shouted to rescue District Chief Yue, but the other police officers quickly subdued them.
Wang Gang’s eyes were wide open in disbelief as he watched this scene, feeling like the sky was falling. He thought District Chief Yue would be his savior, but who knew that even he would be controlled. Damn, who the hell is this person? After being beaten, Wang Gang instead became clear-headed. He knew that the other side didn’t use some kind of spell but made the police automatically choose sides with his identity...
Of course, he had blacked out for a while when beaten, unclear about Li Yifei’s identity, or he wouldn’t think this way.
With Zhao Tiezhu and others, District Chief Yue’s little frame naturally couldn’t withstand them and was easily controlled. However, his cursing was unending—after all, in his years in office, District Chief Yue had never been treated this way. Let alone being physically restrained—he would’ve made people pay even if they simply showed him disrespect.
"Do you still acknowledge the law?" District Chief Yue’s hands were cuffed behind his back. This posture was both humiliating and infuriating, leading him to curse. Unfortunately, his cursing didn’t affect Li Yifei, nor did it make the police stop what they were doing. In less than two minutes, Yue Liang and others were subjected to the same treatment, all handcuffed.
Li Yifei removed his disguise, revealing his true face, and said, "Yue Buqun, open your damn eyes and take a good look!"
District Chief Yue knew the nickname but didn’t know when it started. For years, anyone he learned who used this nickname would be dealt with, openly or covertly. Apparently, though more people called him that behind his back, none dared say it to his face. And now the opponent actually called him that, prompting District Chief Yue to look up immediately, only to see a different face. The person was the same, but the face was no longer the ordinary one he had seen before.
"You!" District Chief Yue was taken aback. He didn’t think he had seen it wrong before, but the person before him was not the previous one. Hesitant, he felt this face was somewhat familiar. "Who the hell are you?"
Li Yifei raised an eyebrow without answering District Chief Yue. Yue Buqun found him increasingly familiar. Seconds later, an image in his head merged with the man before him. Yue Buqun’s body suddenly trembled a few times as he pointed at Li Yifei, his voice somewhat shaky, "You... you are Li Yifei?"
A bit late to figure it out, District Chief Yue, a few police officers smirked sarcastically, thinking disdainfully in their hearts.
Early or late realization, today District Chief Yue got into trouble. The moment Li Yifei appeared, District Chief Yue quickly realized why the police were acting like they had gone mad today; not only daring to arrest Yue Liang, dare to make a move on Wang Gang, but also coming to arrest him—it’s all because... that person is Li Yifei.
Dammit, that is Li Yifei, the richest man in Ning Province, the clan chief of Ning Province’s number one family. This man has connections everywhere, with great power. As a district chief, Yue Buqun had to know about such people, especially since it was rumored that one of Li Yifei’s wives’ families lived here, resulting in some of the family’s businesses being set up here. Although these were minor investments, local leaders paid high attention, bestowing all sorts of favorable policies generously.
District Chief Yue never imagined he would find himself in such a situation with Li Yifei. Previously, District Chief Yue even thought about inviting Li Yifei to inspect the new development zone, hoping he would invest, even if the government had to lose money. But now...
The moment he recognized Li Yifei’s identity, District Chief Yue’s aura immediately dissipated. Of course, this didn’t mean he accepted the current situation. Without needing Li Yifei to confirm his identity, District Chief Yue had already recognized him, so he stopped struggling, straightened his back, and said to Li Yifei, "Li Yifei, you and I have never crossed paths. Yet, you humiliate me like this. Do you think the government is your family business?"
"Stubborn as a mule. Brother Tiezhu, brief him on the situation," Li Yifei said.
Zhao Tiezhu was ordered to restore the entire series of events, and District Chief Yue then learned what really happened—not what Wang Gang had said. He turned his head to give the already desperate Wang Gang a hard look. District Chief Yue knew Li Yifei, and Director Wang also knew of him, and even knew more. Aside from Li Yifei’s identity as the richest person, his powerful influence, and his military background, as soon as Wang Gang linked the man before him to the army’s king of soldiers, he knew that he was finished today; any one of those identities would be enough to crush him.
"Yue Liang, is what they said true?" District Chief Yue asked, his face cold without revealing joy or anger; only Su Meng and others knew District Chief Yue usually tried to maintain a gentle demeanor. Looking like this meant District Chief Yue was extremely angry or extremely scared. In any case, his emotions were fluctuating greatly, not as unmoved as he appeared.
Yue Liang instinctively nodded, then quickly shook his head, defending himself, "Dad, no, I didn’t... it was Yang Jin who wanted to do it. After I hit someone, I got scared and ran. Yang Jin said he would handle it, and everything would be fine..."
"Damn you!" District Chief Yue finally understood the deep meaning behind Li Yifei’s ’pit father’ comment when he came upstairs. Originally, District Chief Yue couldn’t think that far, but now he realized it was really about screwing over his father.
The son not only hit and ran but also let others reverse the truth... In District Chief Yue’s view, the real mistake was offending someone they shouldn’t have, and coincidentally, the other side wanted to make a big deal out of it, so both he and his son fell into the trap.
With several emotional ups and downs, District Chief Yue’s fingernails dug into his palm to calm himself. Looking at Li Yifei, District Chief Yue spoke with difficulty, "Mr. Li, my... son was wrong. As a father, I am also responsible. I am willing to apologize and will fully compensate for your paternal elder, sternly dealing with those involved, and I guarantee to give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Is that all?" Li Yifei saw District Chief Yue yielding, yet didn’t intend to easily let him off, shaking his head to express dissatisfaction. District Chief Yue’s expression froze; he thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I would like to personally apologize to your father, to show my sincerity."
"Do you think I’m a child?" Li Yifei asked.
District Chief Yue’s crow’s feet twitched several times before relaxing, saying, "I will strictly discipline Yue Liang in the future, absolutely not letting him drive again. Failing to educate him is my fault, and I apologize for his actions."
The surrounding police officers watched with delight, though they wouldn’t actually shout out loud. Just seeing Li Yifei reveal his identity and arrogant District Chief Yue immediately submit, his attitude doing a complete 180—it was satisfying and pleasing to witness. However, some thoughtful officers couldn’t help feeling concerned. If Li Yifei were to let him go, while Li Yifei would be fine, they might be in trouble. So, secretly, they felt anxious but couldn’t speak up now.
Li Yifei shook his head slowly, saying, "District Chief Yue, is this how you resolve problems?"
"Then... what do you want?" District Chief Yue was at a loss. His position wasn’t low, but against Li Yifei, the other person was a mountain—incomparable in power. Even the mayor might not have the confidence in front of him, mainly because this guy’s status was too lofty, with multiple identities.
District Chief Yue now really wanted to beat up Yue Liang, cursing, damn it. Skipping studying is fine, spending money carelessly too, but why provoke such a person, and in such an excessive way?
Pit father, pit father! Those two words couldn’t be shaken out of his mind.
"Clearly, you haven’t grasped the essence of ’pit father!’" Li Yifei grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, looking harmless. However, the smile didn’t last long. It vanished in an instant, and Li Yifei said, "District Chief Yue, this is as far as your career goes; it’s not just a matter of failing to educate your son."
"You!" District Chief Yue finally realized Li Yifei’s meaning. He was not just going to deal with Yue Liang, Wang Gang, and Su Meng and others, but even planning to take him down as well. This realization made it impossible for him to remain calm—his expression changed several times, a wave of fear washed over him. Not knowing Li Yifei’s identity would make one think the other is bluffing, but... "Impossible, Li Yifei, no matter how rich you are, you’re ultimately just a wealthy man. I am the district chief of the new development zone, a government-appointed official, not someone you can just remove because you say so. Don’t think you have so much power, I... am not afraid of you!"
