Chapter 416: Assault on the Police!

"Smack—!" This slap was extremely heavy, the crisp sound exploding in the hall!

Yudong flew sideways like a broken kite, the corner of his mouth splitting instantly, blood trickling down his chin to drip on the polished floor tiles, especially glaring.

The surrounding employees all sucked in a cold breath, even their whispering stopped……

The hall grew so quiet you could hear Yudong's heavy breathing.

Yudong stared dazed for a while before pushing himself up from the floor……

Yudong covered his burning cheek with one hand and wiped blood from his mouth with the other, glaring at Lin Yuan and shouting: "Who the hell are you? Dare hit me?! You're tired of living?!"

Lin Yuan's eyes were ice‑cold: "I'm Lin Yuan. That slap—I threw it for Director Su. Director Su spoke to you nicely, yet you spat insults, acting like a street thug; do you even deserve the title 'official personnel'?"

"Director Su didn't talk back, so I'll answer for her." Lin Yuan stepped forward half a step, completely shielding Su Monong behind him:

"Your brother Yu Zhong Fu is the one I had arrested. If you have a problem, come to me—we'll settle accounts between men. What's the point of shouting threats and insults at Director Su, a woman?"

Su Monong stood behind Lin Yuan, her fingertips clutching the folder tightly, then slowly relaxing—

It was still the first time she had seen Lin Yuan reveal such sharpness.

Before, seeing him either meant calmly discussing work or quietly solving trouble. Never had he arrived like this, full of vigor, shielding her behind him and blocking all wind and rain for her.

Su Monong gazed at that back—not especially broad, but remarkably solid—and felt her eye sockets warm slightly, her heart as if lightly tapped by something.

These years, she and Zhi Yuan had depended on each other; when faced with difficulties she could only grit her teeth and endure, when faced with danger she could only block it herself—no one had ever stood firmly before her saying, "If there's trouble, come to me."

Gratitude, relief, and even a flicker she herself hadn't noticed intertwined, making her heart instantly become incredibly complex.

Meanwhile Sun Weiwei stood at the back of the crowd, her nails digging deep into her palm without feeling the pain. She watched Lin Yuan unhesitatingly shield Su Monong……

Sun Weiwei felt as if a vinegar bottle had been overturned in her chest—sourness mixed with unwillingness creeping up bit by bit.

Yudong covered his burning cheek; upon hearing the two words "Lin Yuan", his pupils shrank and he exploded with rage:

"Fuck! You're Lin Yuan?! You're the one who got my brother arrested?! Today I'll definitely make you pay!"

Yudong was about to lunge forward—at this moment, as the Housing Management Bureau Deputy Director, he didn't even care about his image.

But before Yudong could lift his leg, a clear female voice suddenly exploded: "Stop! Dare move him and see what happens!"

Everyone turned toward the sound……

All they saw was Su Zhiyuan rushing over in high heels, eyes blazing with anger——

She had just received a staff message in the office saying someone was causing a ruckus in the hall and insulting her mother, so she hurried over immediately.

Before Yudong could react, Su Zhiyuan raised her hand and slapped his other cheek—"Smack!"—harder than Lin Yuan's slap.

"You dare bully my mother? You bastard!" Su Zhiyuan, unable to contain her anger, lifted her heel and kicked hard into Yudong's crotch.

"Ah—!" Yudong let out a miserable scream, clutching his crotch and curling up on the ground!

Cold sweat instantly soaked his suit, his face turning ashen as paper, unable to speak.

The surrounding employees sucked in a breath of cold air……

Miss Su's kick—what a "cut off descendants" kick! It's too vicious!

Yudong took a long while to catch his breath, pointing at Lin Yuan and Su Zhiyuan with a trembling voice: "I'm the Housing Management Bureau Deputy Director! You dare hit me…… you're dead meat! I'll use my authority to have you both jailed!"

Lin Yuan gave a cold chuckle, flicked his finger, and a silver needle shot out silently, precisely striking the acupressure point behind Yudong's knee.

Just as Yudong tried to push himself up, his knee suddenly gave way with a "thud", he collapsed onto the ground in an extremely embarrassed posture.

Lin Yuan feigned surprise as he stepped forward, raising an eyebrow: "Director Yu, why are you kneeling? Want to apologize to Director Su? You should have done that earlier."

Yudong was both furious and in pain, veins bulging on his forehead:

"Lin Yuan! Stop pretending! Immediately have the police release my brother, or I'll not only throw you in jail but also drive the Su Group into total bankruptcy!"

"Director Yu, I'm giving you a chance." Lin Yuan dropped his joking expression, his tone turning serious:

"Your brother Yu Zhong Fu has already confessed to all your crimes—taking bribes, acting as a protection umbrella, altering planning documents; every item has evidence. If you turn yourself in now, you might get a lighter sentence; otherwise, you face a heavy penalty."

Upon hearing this, Yudong suddenly burst out laughing hysterically!

Yudong laughed until tears nearly fell, then wiped the smile away and snarled: "Lin Yuan, who are you trying to fool? Zhong Fu is my blood cousin; even if he went to jail himself, he'd never rat me out! Lin Yuan, stop trying to scare me!"

Lin Yuan raised his wrist to check his watch, eyes helpless, shaking his head: "Deputy Director Yu, I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it—now there's nothing to be done."

As Lin Yuan's words fell, a familiar siren suddenly blared from outside the Su Group building……

The siren drew nearer and soon stopped at the entrance of the Su Group.

Upon hearing the siren, Yudong's face changed instantly——

He hadn't called anyone—who summoned this siren?

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, "Deputy Director Yu, you want to use official authority against me? Then why not look downstairs first? See who's dealing with whom."

Yudong's body trembled slightly as he shakily walked to the floor‑to‑ceiling window and glanced outside—

The next second, Yudong's face turned deathly pale!

All they saw outside the floor‑to‑ceiling window was the Su Group's ground floor packed with police cars!

A large contingent of police officers was rushing up the stairs!

Soon, a large contingent of police officers were taking the elevator up!

Mu Lingxue wore a black police uniform, followed by over a dozen criminal police and Discipline Inspection Commission members, their footsteps making the office floor tiles hum.

Mu Lingxue ignored the surrounding staff, walked straight to the still‑kneeling Yudong, pulled out a folded arrest warrant, and snapped it open before his eyes.

Mu Lingxue's voice was cold without a trace of warmth, each word striking Yudong's heart:

"Yudong, Deputy Director of the City Housing Management Bureau, after investigation you are suspected of bribery, colluding with the black‑evil Fu Li Group, and misuse of public power; we now arrest you according to law."

Yudong's gaze locked onto the red seal on the arrest warrant, his pupils constricting instantly; the voice that had been shouting just moments ago seemed blocked, and he couldn't utter a sound for a while.

He pointed at the arrest warrant, his finger trembling violently: "Impossible…… this is impossible……"

Mu Lingxue said coldly, "Yu Zhong Fu, both human and material evidence are present—your brother already confessed last night! Come with us to cooperate with the investigation; the Discipline Inspection Commission folks are also here. If you have anything to say, go back to the police station and tell the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Yudong's face turned ashen, shocked and disbelieving: "No, impossible…… Zhong Fu is my blood cousin…… how could he finger me? Impossible!"

"Your cousin Yu Zhong Fu…… during last night's interrogation already fully confessed to your crimes—including taking his 300 million yuan in bribes and helping him alter the planning documents for the Rainbow Factory." Mu Lingxue added, her tone devoid of any ripple.

At this moment, Yudong felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped to the ground……

He suddenly lifted his head, looking toward Lin Yuan not far away, his eyes full of venom; just as he was about to shout a curse, a police officer pressed down on his shoulder.

"Don't move!" the police officer's voice carried a warning, he twisted Yudong's wrists behind his back, and with a "click," the cold handcuffs snapped onto his hands.

Yudong struggled, the dust on his pants smearing all over the ground; his former arrogance and domineering attitude were gone, leaving only panic:

"I'm the deputy director of the Housing Management Bureau! I'm a government official! You can't arrest me! I want my lawyer!"

Mu Lingxue ignored his shouting, telling the police officer, "Take him back and merge his case with Yu Zhong Fu's for joint investigation, focusing on his ties to the White Gold Han Group."

The police officer acknowledged, half‑dragging Yudong toward the door; Yudong stumbled as he was pulled, still shouting back, "Su Monong! Lin Yuan! You wait for me!"

Su Monong stood where she was, the folder almost slipping from her fingertips; she watched Yudong being led away, then looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes full of shock——

She hadn't expected Lin Yuan's words to come true, nor that the police bureau and the disciplinary commission would act so quickly, showing up to make the arrest.

The surrounding staff also erupted in an uproar, chattering incessantly……

Su Monong's beautiful eyes lingered on Mu Lingxue, seeing her openly defending Lin Yuan, and a thought suddenly sprang to mind——

This female police officer who went on a blind date with Lin Yuan…… seems to be getting along quite well with him.

Su Monong's fingertips lightly rubbed the edge of the folder, her heart surging with complex emotions:

On one hand, Lin Yuan has such backing; if the Su Group runs into trouble later, it might gain extra protection, which puts her somewhat at ease; moreover, this could also let her daughter Su Zhiyuan face the death penalty completely.

But on the other hand, thinking of Lin Yuan having such a strong and tacit woman by his side…… Su Monong's heart inexplicably rose a hint of regret she couldn't let go……

Even Su Monong herself couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Mu Lingxue ignored everyone's shock and told Lin Yuan, "You need to come with us to the police bureau to give a supplementary statement."

Lin Yuan nodded, telling Su Monong and Su Zhiyuan, "Leave this to you; call if anything comes up."

Having said that, he followed Mu Lingxue and the others downstairs……

……

Several police cars slowly drove out of the Su Group's parking lot.

Lin Yuan sat in the front passenger seat, rubbing his forehead; for some reason, after Yudong was arrested, he felt a vague unease inside.

Yu Zhong Fu, Yudong, the two cousins, were both arrested.

Only the mastermind behind the scenes remained: the White Gold Han Group.

But that White Gold Han Group probably won't be easy to deal with.

This is a New Faction that runs rampant in the Underground Jianghu.

It is enormous in scale.

The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

His right eyelid twitched slightly.

Left eye twitching means wealth.

Right eye twitching means disaster.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan's right eyelid kept twitching uncontrollably.

This?

Lin Yuan sat in the car, his inner unease growing stronger and stronger.

Reason told him that the White Gold Han Group would certainly not let it rest.

After the police cars had traveled several kilometers, at an intersection ahead……

Suddenly, three black sedans rushed out from the intersection……

The three black sedans lay sideways across the road, the screech of tires scraping the pavement piercing the air, forcing the police convoy to halt abruptly.

The police car in the middle, which was holding Yudong, braked suddenly, its tires scraping the ground with a piercing sound.

Inside the car, Yudong lurched forward, his hands cuffed to the seat, yet he still turned his head warily.

He looked around through the window, his eyes full of unease——

He hadn't expected anyone to intercept the police convoy mid‑route.

The officer in the driver's seat immediately reached for the radio, about to report the situation.

Then he saw Yudong's face turn even uglier, muttering, "They're coming…… they really are coming……

Mu Lingxue sat in the lead command police car, her fingers instinctively moving to her sidearm, her brows knotted tightly, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart:

"Something's off; these three vehicles are clearly blocking the road on purpose, definitely not an ordinary traffic accident."

Mu Lingxue turned to the officer beside her and said, "Notify those behind to stay on alert; I'll go check the situation."

Mu Lingxue opened the car door, about to step forward toward the black sedans blocking the road to ask their intentions……

Suddenly, a piercing engine roar came from behind, growing closer, bringing an oppressive feeling that made the heart pound.

Everyone turned toward the sound and saw a heavy truck burst out from a side lane, accelerating wildly!

The truck's headlights blazed so brightly they made it hard to keep eyes open, and mud still clung to both sides of its body, showing it had just come from a construction site.

The truck driver showed no intention of slowing, jerking the steering wheel hard toward the center, aiming straight for the police car holding Yudong!

The truck driver's face was pressed against the window, his eyes full of reckless madness.

"Watch out! Back up!!

Mu Lingxue shouted loudly, but it was already too late.
