Chapter 303: and ===GLOSSARY===

Gao Peng's warning voice blended with the heat waves under the scorching sun, echoing through the valleys; this terrifying counterforce would be hard for an ordinary person to withstand.

Interpretation: Gao Peng's warning voice mixed with the heat waves under the scorching sun, echoing in the valley; this terrifying counterforce, if placed on an ordinary person, would really be hard to bear.

We need to keep meaning, not add. Let's produce: "Gao Peng's warning voice mixed with the heat waves under the scorching sun, echoing in the valley; this terrifying counterforce, if placed on an ordinary person, would really be hard to bear."

Gao Peng's warning voice blended with the heat waves under the scorching sun, echoing through the valleys; this terrifying counterforce would be hard for an ordinary person to withstand.

The authority of a deputy minister-level official was fully displayed by Gao Peng.

Regardless of whether he is in a desperate situation.

Gao Peng would not sit and wait for death; his life's dictionary also does not have the words 'sit and wait for death', otherwise he would not have originally ordered his subordinates to use Shi Ning to send away his younger sister Gao Lu.

But we need to keep numbers etc. No numbers.

Let's produce: "Gao Peng would not sit and wait for death; his life's dictionary also does not have the words 'sit and wait for death', otherwise he would not have originally ordered his subordinates to use Shi Ning to send away his younger sister Gao Lu."

I would rather let the world down than have the world let me down!

This is a classic saying of Cao Mengde from the Three Kingdoms.

Gao Peng is not particularly interested in Cao Mengde's fondness for married women, but he has gained considerable insight into Cao Mengde's hegemonic thinking and his decisive measures in critical moments.

Nowadays.

Even if Gao Peng didn't learn everything, he still managed to emulate six or seven tenths of the essence.

He now brings up the matter that Lin Dongfan is a 'criminal suspect' to the table, just to threaten Lin Yuzhi and force her to compromise and concede.

Without a doubt, Lin Yuzhi is also not a mere decorative vase.

In an instant, his eyes showed a fierce look.

But Gao Peng isn't the least bit panicked; he even escalates his threat: "Lin General, I completely understand your eagerness to acknowledge kin. But I urge you to think carefully before acting. If the Lin family insists on recognizing this grandson, tomorrow's headline could read: "Lin family descendants, relying on their elders' lingering glory, commit wrongdoing!" By then, your visit to Nanzhou won't be about promoting red culture—it will be about tainting it.

Check for any omitted clause: 'Lin General' is Lin Yuzhi's title; 'Nanzhou' remains unchanged.

"Is that so?"

Lin Yuzhi merely gave a cold, angry smile, not rushing to refute anything.

She turned her head to ask Huang Ju, chief of the Jinyang Public Bureau: 'What crime did Lin Dongfan commit?'

"Replying to Lin General, after investigation, Section Chief Lin has no problem; he has been released without guilt for now." Taking a side temporarily causes panic, but if you pick the right side it feels great; Chief Huang doesn't want to be left out.

Gao Peng glared fiercely: 'Chief Huang, you can eat messily, but you can't handle a case carelessly! This is a major case involving lives; if something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?!'

Seeing Chief Huang being questioned made him panic inside.

Lin Dongfan sneered: 'Secretary Gao, you also hold an important position, but today you're either threatening this or that— is that appropriate? Does that make you look badass?'

"You have no right to speak!" Gao Peng shouted angrily.

At that moment, Lin Dongfan's phone suddenly rang; he took it out, looked, and again showed a relieved smile— truly, as soon as he dozed off, someone brought a pillow.

Lin Dongfan displayed the phone message in front of Gao Peng: 'The Qi Bureau just issued it; Wang Minjuan just appeared at Nanzhou Airport, attempting to flee the country, currently being pursued. Those accompanying her also include her sister Wang Minlan. Wang Minlan is neither dead nor missing; please explain to me what crime I have committed.'

"「……！！！」" Means: "\"……!!! \"" So: "\"……!!! \""

Faced with this indisputable ironclad evidence, Gao Peng gritted his teeth and had nothing to say.

No one knows whether the sweat on his forehead was from the scorching sun or from excessive nervousness.

But Lin Dongfan can be certain of one thing: today is Gao Peng's doomsday.

"Since you have nothing to say, then I will speak." Lin Dongfan said solemnly: 'Regarding your murder of your younger sister Gao Lu, are you planning to turn yourself in voluntarily, or should I slap the handcuffs on your wrist?'

As soon as his words fell, everyone around was startled and their faces changed dramatically.

Everyone unanimously looked at Gao Peng— murdering his own younger sister? What a beast! To save himself, he even disregards his own kin.

"「……！！！」" Means: "\"……!!! \""

Faced with the crowd's contemptuous gaze, Gao Peng obviously also felt their sentiments.

Gao Peng put on a disdainful posture and asked Lin Dongfan with a smile: 'You're just angry and embarrassed, wanting to bite back. You claim I murdered my sister— what evidence do you have?'

"Before I was arrested, Gao Lu had already confessed; her confession is the evidence." Saying this, Lin Dongfan extended his hand toward Chief Huang.

Chief Huang tacitly understood and took out the handcuffs, handing them to Lin Dongfan.

Lin Dongfan held the handcuffs in front of Gao Peng: 'I'll give you one last chance— do you want to turn yourself in, or should I put the handcuffs on you?'

"Do you have an arrest warrant?" Gao Peng still wore a fearless smile.

Lin Dongfan shook his head: 'I have applied for an arrest warrant, but it hasn't been approved yet. However, I seem to be able to detain a person first and then report upwards.'

"Lin Dongfan, do you know what you're saying?" Gao Peng chuckled lightly: 'You're just a lowly section chief, and you don't even have an arrest warrant! Do you really think you're some grand imperial envoy who can act first and report later?'

"Cough cough!"

Lin Yuzhi gave a clear cough twice.

She patted Lin Dongfan's shoulder and urged: 'Stop the nonsense, don't delay my remembrance of the martyrs. Hurry up and cuff him; I'll take responsibility if anything happens.'

Upon hearing this, Gao Peng's face darkened with anger: 'Lin General, isn't your hand reaching too far?'

"My hand is long? Did I reach out?" Lin Yuzhi looked at her own hands, raised her head, and looked at Gao Peng with astonishment: 'Did I slap your face or grab your testicles?'

"Grab the testicles?"

Lin Yuzhi's tiger-wolf words are utterly unrestrained! This made Gao Peng feel indignant, realizing that in front of this woman who disregards decorum, all rules are just for show!

Lin Dongfan this bastard doesn't observe decorum, and Lin Yuzhi neither does!

"No decorum!"

This is the Lin family's hereditary gene!

Before Gao Peng could think of an escape plan, Lin Yuzhi again urged Lin Dongfan: 'Why are you standing there foolishly? Does this bastard seem to have the intention to turn himself in? If you give him a chance, he'll treat you like an idiot— hurry up and catch him!'

"Secretary Gao, you said you wouldn't want to provoke anyone, yet you provoked the beautiful-as-a-fairy Lin General, dragging me into contempt as well." While chatting and laughing, Lin Dongfan already slapped the handcuffs onto Gao Peng's wrist.

Gao Peng did not resist, mainly because he lacked the strength to do so.

Until this moment.

Gao Peng was still feigning composure, just to maintain the dignity of a deputy minister-level official; he smiled and mocked Lin Dongfan: 'Today your Lin family won; I admit defeat, I'll wait for you in prison.'

The implication is that Lin Dongfan won't be able to stay arrogant for long; sooner or later he'll end up in there too.

Lin Dongfan turned his head to ask the TV station cameraman: 'Haven't you started filming yet?' Seeing the cameraman shake his head, Lin Dongfan breathed a sigh of relief: 'Good that we haven't filmed; it's been making me unable to relax, damn!'

Accompanied by the final expletive.

Lin Dongfan turned and threw a punch, knocking Gao Peng to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

This scene left the surrounding people stunned, their eyes popping out.

Gao Peng hadn't even managed to get up when he saw Lin Dongfan approaching again; he instantly panicked, terrified, scrambling backward on his buttocks: "Lin Dongfan, I warn you! You're breaking the law!"

"What? Still want to resist arrest? You're courting death!"

Lin Dongfan kicked several times in one breath; the first kick was to vent his anger for Gao Lu, the second kick to vent his anger for Yang Qing, the third kick to vent his anger for himself, the fourth kick for…

I can't remember his name, but anyway just kick him; who asked him to show off?

Until Gao Peng curled up like a shrimp covered in wounds before the grave, the painful grunts from his mouth grew weaker and weaker, as if he could barely hold on.

Lin Dongfan only then withdrew his kick that was meant to right wrongs and open up wasteland.

Lin Dongfan turned his head and raised his hand at Chief Huang of the Jinling Precinct: "Come over, help me take this weakling who can't take a beating back and hand him over to Peng Tianhua; don't interfere with my ancestor worship."
