Chapter 395 - Fire Him (1/2)

What?! When the chief police officer heard his superior’s instructions, he was stunned for a moment. Doubts crept into his mind, and he wondered to himself if Xiao Luo was really the child of a high-ranking official. But still, is it permissible for him to commit violence in broad daylight and defy the law?”

Emboldened by a deep sense of righteousness and justice, he challenged his ranking officer and said, “Chief Ma, this man has assaulted several people here; his behavior is unacceptable. He broke the toes of four officers from the Public Health Bureau and local police station. If I do not arrest him, I…”

“Stop being so hard-headed. Just leave the scene as instructed; this is an order!” Chief Ma interjected before the office to finish his sentence.

The chief policeman stood stiffly at attention and responded, “Yes, chief!”

“Give the phone back to Mr. Xiao; I still have things to say to him,” Chief Ma said, and he seemed to have immediately calmed down.

A higher rank meant absolute authority, so how could the chief police officer object? He handed the phone back to Xiao Luo. Within seconds, his eyes opened wide in shock as he clearly heard Chief Ma expressing his sincere apologies to Xiao Luo in a most ingratiating manner. It was hard for him to imagine Chief Ma being so servile to anyone.

What the…? Who exactly was this guy?

The chief police officer looked at Xiao Luo as if he was an alien. He just couldn’t picture Chief Ma, who had always carried himself with dignity and an air of authority, behaving so respectfully toward this man. It wasn’t far from the deference that the ancient eunuchs gave when they were serving the emperor. Chief Ma had lowered himself so humbly when speaking to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo hung up the phone, then turned and said, “You have no business here anymore. You can leave before you become an eyesore.”

“You…”

The chief police officer seethed, feeling indignant, but aware that this man in front of him was someone that even his superior had to treat with respect, he chose not to overstep the boundary. After his men helped move the four wounded officers, he left with an ashen face.

They came snarling and growling but departed with tails between their legs. They did not even bother to sound their sirens this time.

Tan Jianbai, Mrs. Tan, and Tan Ningfu watched in disbelief as the scene unraveled. In their eyes, the young man, Xiao Luo, sitting on the Porsche’s bonnet, was as tall as a mountain. He was someone that even the cops had to give way to, so, just how powerful a background did he have?

As for Lee Yueze, his face was as white as a sheet. He was quivering, and it was evident he knew that he had just messed with the wrong person.

“W-who… are you?”

Lee Yueze asked, raising his head and looking quizzically at Xiao Luo in fear. His voice was shaky, and he was trembling, for there was a deep sense of trepidation in his heart and the sharp pain in his knees was unbearable.

Xiao Luo looked askance at him, choosing to ignore his question, and instead, threw him a random question. “This Porsche costs 2.6 million, and with the other costs put together, it’d cost you 3 million, am I right?”

Xiao Luo’s statement sent a shiver down Lee Yueze’s spine, and his pupils dilated. The first thought that came into his mind was that Xiao Luo would smash his beloved car.

“Full payment or installment?” Xiao Luo asked again.

“In… installment…” Lee Yueze replied, careful to stick to the truth and not daring to play any tricks.

“The down payment is about 1.6 million, and the monthly installment is about 24 thousand, correct?”

“Yes.” Lee Yueze nodded and answered spontaneously, suddenly realizing that Xiao Luo was very knowledgeable about his car’s cost. He could barely do anything else other than to respond truthfully.

“Did you borrowed money to buy this car?” Xiao Luo asked, sitting with his legs-cross, propping his chin up casually with his left hand.

“Y-yes…”

“How much did you borrow?”

“One million.”
