Su Yang waved his hand, and Qin Li led his men to open the four cages.
"Rest for three days, and I'll send someone to pick you up afterward!"
"Yes!"
The five D-class prisoners responded, helping Yuan Kui up to rest.
The Poison Master stepped forward a few paces. "Deputy Director, if you ever get the chance, I'd like to see if my poison is more potent than your medical skills!"
"You will live to see that day!"
Su Yang brushed off his sleeves and turned to leave.
Yuan Kui touched his neck. "It seemed like a soft palm strike, but I didn't expect its lethality to be so strong."
The One-Eyed Tyrant nodded three times. "The Deputy Director's technique is likely the legendary Qi Jin Gong, drawing energy from the Dantian and concentrating it in his palms. Judging by his martial arts style, it's likely a secret transmission from the Wudang Sect. I never expected him to have such an opportunity."
Yuan Kui sighed. "Alright, prepare yourselves. We might face a tough battle in three days."
The Poison Master looked puzzled. "Why?"
"Why do you think the Deputy Director came to challenge me? And then arranged for people to pick you up afterward. Do you think he needs useless thugs?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
Security Bureau.
Director's Office.
Zhao Xiaolu poured hot tea and handed it to Su Yang, also massaging his shoulders.
"Director, you defeated those D-class prisoners?"
"Mm."
"You're amazing! Director Zong tried to fight Yuan Kui one-on-one before, and they were only evenly matched."
Zhao Xiaolu's eyes sparkled with admiration for Su Yang.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Director, a young couple and another man are in the lobby, saying they need you to mediate."
Su Yang said impatiently, "Do I have to handle these trivial matters?"
"Director, those people said you have high prestige and insisted on seeing you. I couldn't refuse them."
"Fine, I'll go!"
Su Yang released Zhao Xiaolu, who quickly tidied her hair before opening the door.
In the lobby.
Several people were arguing loudly.
The Security Bureau personnel couldn't calm them down.
Su Yang frowned. "What is it that you people must see me for?"
One of the men, holding a DSLR camera, said, "Director Su, I merely took a few casual photos, and he brought people to beat me up and tried to snatch my camera."
"Director Su, I am Wang Shichong of the Wang family. I want to sue this kid for infringing on my portrait rights. He took unauthorized photos."
Su Yang glanced at Wang Shichong, a man in his thirties, holding a young girl in his arms, exuding the air of a spoiled rich kid.
"What's your name?"
The man holding the DSLR camera replied, "Reporting to the Director, my name is Li Ergou."
"Ergou, did your camera capture any photos of Wang Shichong?"
"No, I only took pictures of the coffee shop. You can check yourself if you don't believe me."
Li Ergou handed over the DSLR. Su Yang took it and browsed through the photos.
There weren't many photos, and none were deliberately taken of anyone specific.
"Wang Shichong, is this your accusation?"
Wang Shichong didn't believe it and took the camera to check. "No, he must have deleted the photos."
Su Yang smiled. "How are you so sure?"
Wang Shichong raised his head proudly. "Although I'm not one of the four great families, I'm still a prominent figure in Songhai. People are always chasing me to take photos whenever I go out, so when I saw this kid pointing his camera at me, he must have taken pictures."
"Since you're often photographed, why did you bring people to beat him up?" Su Yang asked, pointing at Li Ergou.
"I let the paparazzi go if I'm in a good mood, but if I'm not, of course, I have to give them a warning."
Li Ergou was furious. "If you don't believe me, you can have someone check again. Deleting photos leaves a trace!"
Everyone in the room nodded. It was very easy for the Security Bureau to investigate such matters.
Su Yang checked and indeed found no record of deleted photos.
"Wang Shichong, what do you say now?"
Wang Shichong was also feeling guilty. At the time, he just wanted to show off in front of his new girlfriend, but he had mistakenly accused someone.
"Forget it, I'm very magnanimous. Yinyin, let's go, I'll take you to eat spicy hot pot."
Wang Shichong pulled the young girl and started to leave. Li Ergou was not happy.
"Wang Shichong, you hit me and now you want to leave?"
Wang Shichong rolled his eyes. "What else?"
Li Ergou blocked the exit. "If you don't apologize today, you're not leaving the Security Bureau."
"Dog, I'm not afraid of you. Hit me if you dare!"
Wang Shichong slapped Li Ergou's face and forcefully pushed him aside.
Li Ergou gritted his teeth. He thought that as a commoner, he couldn't possibly fight a rich second-generation heir and feared retaliation against his family.
The Security Bureau personnel present were also angry but dared not speak.
Su Yang's brow furrowed. "Wang Shichong, don't leave yet!"
"Director Su, what are your instructions?"
"You assaulted someone. Either I'll handle it according to the law, or you two will settle it privately. Otherwise, no one leaves."
Wang Shichong was stunned. The young girl beside him was getting impatient.
"Chong Ge, I'm starving."
Wang Shichong's spirits immediately lifted, and he straightened his back, looking at Su Yang.
"Director Su, my father is Wang Jianling, you..."
"I don't care who you are. Either apologize or go to jail for fifteen days."
Wang Shichong had heard that prison was full of fierce criminals. If he went in, he'd be lucky to escape with his life.
"Director Su, my father is Wang Jianling, are you really not giving me any face at all?"
Su Yang laughed in exasperation. "Let alone your Wang family, even the Duan, Bai, Liu, and Chen families wouldn't matter! Take him!"
Several Security Bureau officers stepped forward, making Wang Shichong's eyelids twitch in fear.
"Director Su, I was wrong, I'll pay now."
Wang Shichong looked at Li Ergou. "Dog, name your price. I'll consider it a good deed today!"
Li Ergou cast a grateful look at Su Yang, then looked at Wang Shichong and held up two fingers.
"Two million?"
Wang Shichong was taken aback.
Li Ergou was about to say twenty thousand, but Wang Shichong quickly took out a check, signed it, and threw it over.
"A total of 2.09 million. The extra ninety thousand is a gift for your mother. Take it and don't thank me!"
Wang Shichong waved his hand and left with the young girl.
Li Ergou, dumbfounded, picked up the check. The sudden appearance of millions was more dreamlike than winning the lottery.
"Damn, getting beaten up once is worth two million. If this happens a few more times, won't I be a millionaire?"
Li Ergou muttered to himself, causing everyone in the room to laugh.
Su Yang was also amused. "Don't dream, Dog. If they accidentally kill you next time, you won't have the life to spend the money."
Li Ergou trembled. "Damn, Director Su, you're so clear-headed. I won't dare anymore."
"Let's go."
Su Yang patted Li Ergou and turned back to his office to continue his work.
...
In the office.
Zhao Xiaolu carefully replaced the cup with fresh hot tea.
"Director, Sister Xu's clothes are too tight. I'm going to the restroom to take them off."
"No need, I have a way."
Su Yang's hands were quick, and in one second, he directly solved her problem.
Zhao Xiaolu immediately felt much more comfortable, at least not constricted by her clothes.
"Director, your technique is very skilled. Do you often help Sister Mange and the others with this?"
"They are my girlfriends, of course, I often help them."
