Chapter 2854: Being Rich Is Awesome

His gaze suddenly turned cold, the kind of chill that makes one's scalp tingle, yet the smile on his face remained exceptionally bright.

"Originally, if you called me 'grandfather,' I would have spared your life out of respect for Wu Gui Dong, but..." Zhou Andong's smile vanished as he raised his hand and seized Hong Ge's face.

A howl like that of a wounded beast erupted, Zhou Andong gripping Hong Ge's face tightly, blood oozing from his collapsed nose and torn lips, seeping through his fingers.

Hong Ge kicked desperately with his legs, both sides continuously striking Zhou Andong's hand. But the harder he struck, the more the pain in his facial wounds intensified.

Seeing Hong Ge's eyes roll upward, his striking growing weaker, blood already blocking his airway, Zhou Andong immediately released his grip.

"Pfft!" As Zhou Andong let go, Hong Ge opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, followed by a violent bout of coughing.

"Cough cough cough cough……cough cough……cough cough cough……"

Hong Ge coughed so hard he could barely catch his breath, straining to suppress the coughs, desperately inhaling. Yet every time he opened his mouth to breathe, his throat emitted a sharp whistling sound.

This occurred because the body expelled blood from the trachea through coughing, but mucus plugs simultaneously obstructed part of the airway; during forceful inhalation, high-speed airflow through the narrowed passage caused vibration, producing a high-frequency whistle.

At that moment, officers from the airport police station arrived. Lian Kai had called to report hooligans harassing women, without elaborating, so only two came. Upon seeing the scene, they were instantly stunned.

"Damn it!" A young officer, clearly recently hired, couldn't help but blurt out a curse: "What the hell is going on here?"

The other officer, appearing to be in his late thirties, upon seeing the horrific scene, his face changed instantly. Yellow-haired thugs lay scattered on the ground, each appearing seriously injured.

His gaze then shifted to Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu — this man and woman bore an extraordinary aura, clearly either wealthy or noble. Especially with four men in suits standing beside them, sharp-eyed, unmistakably bodyguards.

"Big trouble." The officer took a deep breath, sternly asking: "Who called the police?"

"I did." Lian Kai stepped forward to face the officer: "My name is Lian Kai. These hooligans not only harassed and insulted women in broad daylight, on the street, but also wielded offensive weapons, committing violence that posed a serious threat to my boss and his wife's personal safety. In self-defense, we responded appropriately, rendering them unable to continue harming or even killing others."

Speaking, Lian Kai pointed at the onlookers: "These people are all witnesses; they are all eyewitnesses."

The officer told the young officer: "Report immediately to the station, and simultaneously notify the station to contact the hospital and arrange an ambulance right away."

"Yes!" The young officer turned aside, grabbed his walkie-talkie, and reported the situation to the station.

Meanwhile, the older officer walked toward the onlookers: "Who can tell me what happened?"

No one spoke — matters not their own were ignored high and low; nobody wanted to invite trouble. Moreover, if they dared to testify, these yellow-haired thugs would surely retaliate.

Zhou Andong laughed, addressing the crowd: "Whoever is willing to testify, I'll give each person a thousand yuan as a thank-you fee."

Upon hearing this, Jian Qiu turned, walked to the car, opened the door, retrieved her bag, and pulled out two stacks of cash: "Thank-you fee paid on the spot, but the money is limited — first come, first served; latecomers get nothing."

"I'll testify!" a clear Northeastern accent declared: "Make way!"

The people at the front shifted to either side, clearing a path.

"I can testify too."

"Me too!"

"Me!"

"Me me me!"

"Move aside, I'm tall — I can see the clearest."

"Bullshit, I'm right up front — can you see better than me?"

"Get lost, I want to testify."

"..."

Suddenly the scene grew somewhat chaotic, with people shoving, and the officer, seeing this, inwardly groaned: "Oh no." If not stopped quickly, this would surely blow up into a major incident.

"Everyone, be quiet!" the officer shouted angrily, while silently cursing Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu in his heart: "You think you're hot shit just because you're rich, damn it — just adding to my troubles."
