373: Chapter 362: Playing the Rogue 373: Chapter 362: Playing the Rogue Seeing Song Yun’s rascally demeanor, Sun Fu could only glance at Wang Lei with a pleading look in his eyes, but Wang Lei had a look of aloof indifference, even turning his head away.
Sun Fu sighed silently to himself.
Was he really going to ruin his future prospects over this small issue?
After all, he could still climb higher before retirement.
“Mr.
Song, we offer you our sincere apologies for this incident,” Sun Fu said dejectedly, cursing the young master of the Bai Family a thousand times in his heart.
What a joke, thinking the person they had arrested was some petty thug, only to find they’d apprehended a big fish.
Now, the guy was stubbornly refusing to leave.
As long as Song Yun stayed another minute, the big shots would keep their eyes tirelessly on Sun Fu.
Moreover, Li Tang was a tough nut to crack too.
Sun Fu had no idea if his men had roughed him up; if they had, then things would really be dire.
“Spare me that useless talk.
When I was crying out, claiming my innocence, why didn’t you come to rescue me?
Now that the higher-ups have started applying pressure, you come groveling with nice words.
Where in the world do you get such a good deal?” Song Yun said resentfully.
“We…
we were just following the rules and regulations.
Now that we know we caught the wrong person, we hurried over to apologize to you,” Sun Fu said with a dry mouth.
“Mr.
Song, the whole incident was caused by my incompetent subordinates who arrested someone without my permission.”
“Bullshit!
If your men arrested people randomly, would there be an arrest warrant?
Are you fucking kidding me?” Song Yun cursed loudly.
“Not only did you arrest me, but I bet you’ve also confiscated my properties, haven’t you?
You lot are really something.”
“Heh, I don’t want to say anything more than necessary, nor do I want to tell you that my places have been sealed off, causing financial losses amounting to hundreds of thousands.
You tell me what should be done.”
“Maybe…
we could stop collecting certain fees from you in the future, okay?” Sun Fu could only think of this solution.
Song Yun was now talking about hundreds of thousands; once outside, he could claim millions, tens of millions.
Sun Fu did not have enough wealth to cover that.
“Oh?
Still thinking of getting protection money from me?
Let me tell you, I’m not giving you bastards a single penny; don’t even think of docking my money.
If I find anyone trying to trip me up, I don’t care who they are, I’ll break their legs and send them to the hospital,” Song Yun said with a cold laugh.
“Moreover, if there’s trouble in the future, you must back me up.
Dare not do it, and I’ll take this matter up the chain.”
“Don’t doubt my ability.
I’m a local special envoy for the National Security Bureau; I have the power to report directly to the bigwigs inside the Red Wall.
If you don’t let me live well, I definitely won’t let you have a single day of peace.”
Hearing the words “National Security Bureau,” Sun Fu almost fainted.
Who the hell had he arrested?
There were two organizations no official wanted to mess with: the Disciplinary Committee and the National Security Bureau.
The Disciplinary Committee could strip you of your position, while the National Security Bureau was more ruthless, often having the power to act first and report later.
Every one of their agents could return to Beijing to report at any time; just one word against you in front of the big shots, and you can forget climbing the ladder for the rest of your life.
“Mr.
Song, since you’ve made your demands clear, could we possibly go outside to talk now?
Look, it’s already night, and I believe you must be hungry,” Wang Lei interjected.
Song Yun might be okay handling Sun Fu alone, but should he attempt to damage the organization’s interests, then Wang Lei must intervene.
“We can go out later; there’s still the issue of today’s events.
All of my properties were shut down at once; do you realize the negative message that sends to the outside world and how huge the subsequent financial losses will be?”
“If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I’ll have people stir up trouble every day outside.
Don’t worry, our Shura Alliance has the best legal team in Sunan; we’re ready to fight any lawsuit.”
Sun Fu must be the only high-ranking official historically to be threatened by someone from the Martial World.
Seeing Wang Lei’s silence, Sun Fu knew he had to clean up this mess himself.
“Comrade Song Yun, please don’t be angry, after all, we both serve the nation, and for society’s sake, we can’t act like this.”
“Then what should I do?
Should I sit behind you like a dog and bark?” Song Yun asked contemptuously, his tone dripping with scorn.
“We…
we could say this operation was just a drill.
We will hold a press conference to explain it publicly, ensuring your subsequent interests are not affected,” Sun Fu said with a crestfallen expression.
“Fine, considering your dedication to duty, I will let it slide this time.
But don’t think about moving up any further.
I advise you to vacate your position so as to leave a good impression on those above,” Song Yun said calmly.
“Now that this matter is settled, you should tell me why you suddenly arrested me.”
“Let Vice Director Sun explain that,” Wang Lei said, shaking his head.
“I was blinded by greed; the young master of the Bai Family called me last night, offering to reveal some confidential information and saying he could help elevate my position within a year or two.
In my excitement, I caused this mess.”
“The young master of the Bai Family, huh?
Really impressive,” Song Yun sneered.
“I didn’t expect that they hadn’t learned their lesson from last time; now they dare mess with me?
They really don’t know how many eyes Lord Ma has.”
“Seeing that you are a bit sincere, I will let you off the hook.
Where are my friends now?”
“They…
they are being held in another room,” Sun Fu stated, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Handling an unharmed Song Yun was difficult enough; if he found his brothers had been beaten, it would be a disaster.
“Did you lay hands on them?” Song Yun’s eyes widened and his presence instantly intensified, almost suffocating Sun Fu with his overwhelming aura.
“I don’t know, I didn’t order them to do anything.
But as you know, the policemen here are killers.
If they didn’t like the look of your friends, there’s nothing I could do.”
“Alright, alright, I’ve learned today that your organization is even tougher than the army,” Song Yun huffed.
“I hope my brothers are unharmed, or else your fate won’t be any better.”
