Chapter 201: 198
"Brother Fan, I told you to get lost. Did you not hear me?" Ruv Ling stood out and said without a trace of emotion.
Last time, as Ruv Ling's boyfriend, when Ruv Ling was kidnapped by thugs, it was blatantly obvious that she was going to be harmed by those men. But back then, Jin Luoshan acted like a coward.
If not for Ding Fan's timely arrival, Ruv Ling would have likely already been violated, and to a woman the most precious thing is naturally her chastity. If Ruv Ling had really been harmed, she would have certainly chosen death.
So, deep down, Ruv Ling harbored hatred towards Jin Luoshan. After all, even if he wasn't a boyfriend, even just a normal friend wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
"This guy is just a mangy dog. Just because you targeted Manager Ding so aggressively earlier, do you think wagging your tail will get you out of trouble? Your thinking is far too simple."
"Manager Ding won't stoop to your level. You'd better scram."
...
At the moment, the people around him were indeed speaking up for Ding Fan. Now that Ding Fan was the General Manager of Dancheng Branch Company, many people were eager to curry favor with him. Jin Luoshan was almost drowned out by the criticism from those around him.
"Well, Brother Fan, I'll be leaving first..." In the end, Jin Luoshan still managed to squeeze out a smile and say to Ding Fan.
Although Ding Fan utterly disregarded Jin Luoshan's face, now that Ding Fan was powerful, Jin Luoshan didn't dare to leave with harsh words.
As a result, after Ding Fan cursed him and told him to get lost, Jin Luoshan still had to put on a smile and show an appearance of respect.
At this time, Ding Fan truly didn't want to spare Jin Luoshan another glance, looking at him with disdain. Standing next to Jin Luoshan, he felt disgusted.
After Ding Fan left, the crowd hurried to cluster around him.
It was only then that Jin Luoshan, in a very embarrassing state, made his way out of the party.
"Brother... what happened?" Jin Ranran hurried over to him.
She had seen Ding Fan become the General Manager earlier, and now she looked at Jin Luoshan with a worried expression.
"Get lost! You idiot!" Jin Luoshan's temper was flaring at this moment, and, after fiercely cursing Jin Ranran, he turned and headed towards the exit of the party without looking back.
Although Jin Ranran was scolded, she didn't dare to make a scene. After all, she had already caused trouble for the Jin Family through her impoliteness to Zhang Mingguang, so she kept quiet.
Seeing Jin Luoshan walking out of the banquet hall, Jin Ranran hesitated for a moment before following him out.
...
The party continued without end, full of endless networking.
Ding Fan, however, was not in the mood to continue wasting time with these people. Although he was now the General Manager of Dancheng Branch Company, he couldn't simply leave early.
The party went on until after ten o'clock before it finally concluded.
Only then did Ding Fan leave with Zhou Ruoran. After saying farewell to Qin Manshu, Lin Qingqing, and others, Ding Fan hailed a taxi.
Seeing Ding Fan take a taxi home, Lin Qingqing and Qin Manshu were speechless.
Who knows what kind of news would break if the media found out that the General Manager of the Dancheng Branch Company of Qin's Group was riding home in a taxi?
In the taxi, Zhou Ruoran gently held onto Ding Fan's arm.
Zhou Ruoran was indeed tired today. She leaned her head against Ding Fan's shoulder, breathing very evenly.
Ding Fan carefully adjusted his sitting position so Zhou Ruoran could sleep more comfortably.
To Ding Fan, such a party was meaningless. It seemed like these people were just there to build their own social circles. After one party, he had received quite a few business cards.
Looking at Zhou Ruoran sleeping, Ding Fan silently made a decision to attend fewer such parties in the future if possible. They were a fruitless effort...
Screech...
Just as Ding Fan was lost in his thoughts, the taxi they were in abruptly stopped.
Due to the sudden stop, everyone in the car was thrown forward.
To protect Zhou Ruoran from injury, Ding Fan quickly shielded her with his arms. Although Zhou Ruoran was unharmed, she was now awake.
The car had stopped so abruptly that Ding Fan quickly scanned the area with his Divine Sense. He soon discovered a black sports car speeding directly towards their taxi.
What surprised Ding Fan was that a young man was lying on the hood of the approaching black sports car.
Bang...
The black sports car, with the young man on the hood, crashed directly into Ding Fan's taxi.
The force of the impact was not weak; Ding Fan's taxi was pushed back several meters. Ding Fan, concerned about harming Zhou Ruoran, protected her in his embrace.
At this moment, the young man who had been on the front of the black sports car lay limp on the ground, clearly struggling for air.
As Ding Fan held Zhou Ruoran tightly, he looked outside. The black car knew there was someone on its hood, yet it still crashed into the taxi at high speed, seemingly intent on killing the young man.
Just then, a beautiful girl with tears on her face hurriedly ran down from the black car.
"Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie? Wake up! Please, wake up quickly..." The delicate-looking girl threw herself onto the young man's body, crying and wailing as if in a downpour.
Just at this moment, another person got out of the black sedan.
He was also not very old, a young man about Ding Fan's age. He staggered about as he walked, clearly drunk.
"Fuck, competing with me for a woman? You fucking think who I am! Asking for death, goddammit!" the young man stood in front of the one who was hit, pointing at him and swearing.
"Qu Dong, you... it was you, you killed Xiao Jie! It was you!" The delicate-looking girl cried out, breaking down in tears.
"Fuck, what's with the tears? Just ran over some poor bastard, what's the big deal about that? You know who my dad is? My dad is the chief of the Traffic Police Bureau. Even if I did run this little shit over, who dares to arrest me!" said the person called Qu Dong, speaking to the delicate-looking girl.
"How could you drive like this, you nearly hit me just now," the taxi driver also got out of his vehicle and said to Qu Dong.
"Get lost!" Qu Dong was very domineering; the taxi driver hadn't even properly started arguing before being unceremoniously kicked to the ground.
Qu Dong's kick was indeed powerful; the taxi driver had trouble getting up for a moment.
"I'm going to run you all over today..." said Qu Dong, weaving unsteadily as he moved to get back into the car.
And at that moment, Ding Fan had already, unnoticed, appeared in front of Qu Dong.
"Get out of the way!" Qu Dong threw a punch at Ding Fan's face.
Ding Fan's expression darkened. First, Qu Dong had recklessly killed someone, and now he was here throwing his weight around. If it weren't for Ding Fan stopping him, Qu Dong might have actually tried to hit the taxi driver and the innocent girl nearby.
What happened to the taxi driver and the innocent girl didn't concern Ding Fan, but before, he and Ruoran were also in the taxi, so he felt obliged to intervene.
In that instant, Ding Fan delivered a powerful kick, which hit before Qu Dong's fist could land on his face, and Qu Dong was immediately knocked over.
Qu Dong struggled for a bit but couldn't get up from the ground.
At that moment, a Traffic Police vehicle quickly arrived at the scene, and two officers, one tall and the other fat, got out.
By then, Ding Fan didn't make any further moves. After all, the police had arrived, and it was best to leave the rest to them.
"Officer, this man killed my boyfriend, it was him, you have to arrest him!" The delicate-looking girl ran towards the police as soon as she saw them, pleading with them.
"Officer, this man almost ran me over. When I tried to confront him, he assaulted me," the taxi driver said from the side.
"Fuck, let me make it clear to you, I am the son of the Traffic Police Chief, Director Qu. This person was run over by me, what about it? Ask these two cops if they dare to arrest me!" Qu Dong now slumped on the ground, speaking while belching from the alcohol.
"Officers, please, you have to seek justice for my boyfriend. We were just walking when he forcefully tried to pull me into his car. My boyfriend tried to save me by lying in front of his car to stop it. But... but he ran over my boyfriend, killing him alive."
As the delicate-looking girl spoke, tears streamed down her face.
However, the two policemen didn't pay any attention to her.
On first sight, those two officers had already seen the sports car that hit the person. The car was unique in Dancheng, belonging to the son of the Dancheng Traffic Police Bureau Chief.
Both officers were under the Traffic Police Bureau's jurisdiction, and now the chief's son had killed someone. Would the two of them enforce the law impartially?
From the expression on the policemen's faces, the answer was clearly no.
If they really detained the chief's son on the spot, that would mean the end of their careers.
"Stop crying for now, go wait over there. We need to first get in touch with our bureau," the tall officer told the delicate-looking girl before giving the fat officer a meaningful look.
The fat officer was quite perceptive. "You all, come with me."
After motioning with a grand gesture, the fat officer addressed Ding Fan, the taxi driver, and the innocent girl.
Ding Fan could tell there was something fishy going on, but he didn't call it out. Instead, he wanted to see what the two policemen intended to do, and so followed the fat officer to the side.
After the fat officer led the group away, the tall officer swiftly helped Qu Dong get up. "Young Master Dong, sober up a bit."
Qu Dong was still somewhat groggy. "Fuck, when have I ever been unclear?"
The tall officer thought for a moment, then went aside to make a phone call.
"...Director Qu?... I am Officer 14967. Your son has had too much to drink and now has hit someone. I'm currently at the scene... Oh, I understand... understood..."
After conversing on the phone, the tall officer confidently went to find the fat officer. This cop now had the air of someone filled with ambition.
For ordinary officers like them, when would they ever have the chance to speak directly with the chief and help him solve an issue? To them, this was an incredibly fortunate occurrence.
By helping the chief solve this problem, how could the chief forget about them afterward?
After whispering to each other for a short while, the fat officer then approached Qu Dong and helped him into the car.
The delicate-looking girl was stunned; she didn't understand why, even though Qu Dong was clearly a murderer who ran someone over, the officer was helping him into the vehicle instead.
"What are you doing..." the delicate-looking girl was taken aback.
However, at that moment, the tall police officer's expression turned serious. "Please cooperate with our investigation."
