Chapter 76: Assaulting Divine Protection
Swish, swish, swish~
At the order of the female member of Divine Protection, two or three Divine Protections loaded their bullets, released the safety, and spoke to Xiao Tianyu: "We suspect the president of Chenfeng Group is an international drug lord sought for years. Please cooperate and open your bag!"
"Pointing a gun at me?" Xiao Tianyu's face turned cold, and his frosty gaze stared at the speaking Divine Protection as he spoke: "Do you know that in all of Huaxia, no one from Divine Protection has ever dared to point a gun at me!"
Seeing Xiao Tianyu's icy gaze, the speaking Divine Protection felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his heart silently trembling, but he still spoke: "Please cooperate!"
"Open it yourself!" Xiao Tianyu tossed the bag in his hand to the ground, and the female member of Divine Protection indifferently directed the Divine Protection beside her: "You, go check it out!"
"Yes!" The Divine Protection nodded, walking toward the bag, bending down to open it, instantly stunned by the eight million in cash inside the bag, having never seen so much money in his life.
At this moment, even the female member of Divine Protection was stunned. So much money? Did this guy rob a bank?
Then, the female member of Divine Protection snorted coldly: "You are under arrest!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu was bewildered. No reason was given, just a simple "you're under arrest"?
I was the one who called the police, giving you a chance to make a merit, and now just with a simple "you're under arrest", you want to take me in? Is this not abuse of power? Are you out of your mind?
The female member of Divine Protection ignored Xiao Tianyu's surprised and doubtful expression and continued: "Arrest him!"
"Yes!" The two Divine Protections saluted, and one of them appeared with handcuffs in hand, approaching Xiao Tianyu with them, who then sneered: "Get lost!"
Saying this, Xiao Tianyu thrust out a slap swiftly, so quickly that even the specialized-trained Divine Protection, a former special forces soldier, couldn't dodge in time. The next second, smack~ a crisp slap sound echoed, and the Divine Protection holding the handcuffs was left dumbfounded, with a clear five-finger imprint quickly appearing on his face.
The other Divine Protections were stunned for a second at this sight. This guy dared to attack a Divine Protection? Is he seeking death?
As for Xiao Tianyu, he paid no mind, bending down to pick up his bag and intending to leave. The female member of Divine Protection was furious; since her promotion to team leader, no one had ever dared to attack within her presence, thus she coldly commanded: "Stop! If you don't stop, we'll shoot!"
Swish, swish, swish~
Upon this command, all the Divine Protection members pointed their assault rifles at Xiao Tianyu's back, yet Xiao Tianyu continued to ignore them, causing the female member of Divine Protection to furrow her brows and immediately draw her pistol to fire a warning shot.
Bang, bang~
Two gunshots rang out, yet Xiao Tianyu continued to walk leisurely. The female member of Divine Protection angrily shouted: "Take one more step and I'll shoot!"
Only then did Xiao Tianyu stop, turning back, his dark gaze fixating on the female member of Divine Protection as he coolly asked: "Do you know who I am?"
In truth, Xiao Tianyu also wanted to say: It's indeed true that the entire security department of the Celestial Capital was funded by me.
"I don't care who you are, I suspect the money on you is illegal, you can remain silent, and everything will be decided by a judge!"
The female member of Divine Protection snorted coldly, her words not lacking reason; they had already received material provided by a mysterious person, having enough evidence to suspect the head of Chenfeng Group as an international drug lord,
thus the money coming from Chenfeng Group is naturally suspects, and moreover, she did not know Xiao Tianyu's true identity, it was also acting according to law to first hold him under control.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Tianyu spoke faintly, causing the female member of Divine Protection to feel a heavy pressure upon her heart, nearly unable to breathe, yet she still spoke: "Take him under control!"
"Yes!"
The two Divine Protections approached Xiao Tianyu, who did not resist, quickly cuffing him, causing Xiao Tianyu's eyes to show a hint of coldness: "I hope you won't be begging for me to be released!"
Ha, begging for your release? Is that even possible? Who do you think you are, the President of the Celestial Capital? Even if you are an emperor, if you commit a crime, you'll be treated like a commoner; will I be begging for your release? Your thoughts are indeed naïve!
Thinking of this, the female member of Divine Protection sneered: "You best hope I don't find out that money is tainted, or else you'll be handed over to the police, then prepare to sit in prison forever. Oh, also, there might be a big drug lord here; you better hope your money wasn't earned through drug trafficking because you surely know the laws of Huaxia!"
The female member of Divine Protection demanded coldly: "Take him to the car, the rest follow me!"
With this, she was about to step onto the elevator when a voice came through: "Rushuang, what's happening, why are you still here!"
Once the voice fell, a dashing young man in a sharp suit strode over, glancing lightly at Xiao Tianyu, asking: "Rushuang, what's going on with him!"
"Broad daylight carrying eight million in cash, I suspect he's working for a drug lord, hence he is being controlled for now. If confirmed, he'll be handed over to the police," Youyang coldly said, pointing at Xiao Tianyu's bag.
The suited young man glanced at the bag, then at Xiao Tianyu: "Quite bold, daring to run off with a large sum, not wanting to live?"
"Hm?" Leng Rushuang frowned slightly, sensing the suited young man was misusing his authority.
Very quickly, under Leng Rushuang's watchful eye, the suited young man walked toward Xiao Tianyu, and this individual had a badge on his chest indicating he was a Deputy Minister in the Divine Protection Security Department, clearly a higher-up in Divine Protection Security.
Named Zhuang Yuelong, he couldn't stand anyone more handsome than him, especially Xiao Tianyu, who was undoubtedly flawless in his looks and deliberately showing off in front of Leng Rushuang.
"Minister Zhuang, what are you planning?" Leng Rushuang stepped lightning fast in her military boots, walking over as Zhuang Yuelong snorted: "To a drug lord, there's no need to be courteous!"
While speaking, Zhuang Yuelong had already arrived in front of Xiao Tianyu, prompting Leng Rushuang to shout coquettishly: "There's no evidence yet, and you've dared accuse him of a crime, which is supposed to be determined by a court after police handover, Divine Protection is no enforcer, only aid, you..."
Before Leng Rushuang could finish speaking, she saw Zhuang Yuelong's fist aimed at Xiao Tianyu's abdomen. Leng Rushuang exclaimed: "Minister Zhuang, he only has suspicions against him, it's not proof of guilt, even if he's guilty, you can't pronounce it, it should be handed to the police, not that you're rampantly overstepping, you know?"
Thud~
Before Leng Rushuang's words finished ringing, there was a muffled sound. Originally, Leng Rushuang thought Xiao Tianyu had taken a heavy hit, yet didn't expect Zhuang Yuelong's body to be flung away.
Baffled.
Leng Rushuang found herself bewildered; this guy had both hands restrained, wrists cuffed—how had he sent Zhuang Yuelong flying? And, wasn't Zhuang Yuelong also a master at Taekwondo, a ninth dan black belt?
The Divine Protections pinning Xiao Tianyu's arms were also baffled—they couldn't quite see it, yet, Zhuang Yuelong flew out unexpectedly, without reason.
"You dare assault Divine Protection!" Zhuang Yuelong clutched his gut with both hands, maliciousness flickering in his gaze as Xiao Tianyu calmly stated: "Did anyone witness me hitting you?"
"They all saw it!" Zhuang Yuelong coldly snorted, but the Divine Protections shook their heads: "We really didn't see, could it be you hit yourself, framing him for attacking Divine Protection?"
"…" In hearing this, Zhuang Yuelong was dumbfounded: "Would I hit myself? Do I look like I'm crazy to you?"
"You do!" The Divine Protections spoke in unison, evidently without much goodwill toward Zhuang Yuelong usually.
Zhuang Yuelong was furious, thus approaching Xiao Tianyu again with resentment. Leng Rushuang, in her military boots, darted aside, blocking in front of Xiao Tianyu: "Enough!"
"Just because he looks handsome, you're speaking for him?" Zhuang Yuelong scoffed.
Leng Rushuang showed a hint of disdain: "I'm merely doing my duty. If he assaulted Divine Protection, naturally I won't let him go, but you baselessly accuse him of being a minor drug lord, without handing over to the police, you've overstepped, isn't it too much?"
Seeing Leng Rushuang defending Xiao Tianyu, Zhuang Yuelong's face turned exceedingly dark. The whole Divine Protection Security Department knew that Zhuang Yuelong was pursuing Leng Rushuang, and now with Leng Rushuang openly protecting another, where would he place his standing?
Security couldn't be mentioned directly, so it's altered to match; might have loopholes, bear with it!!
