Police and military standoff
oru, this isn't Summer’s fault; I simply forgot about you. When Summer suddenly caused a commotion at the police station, I was worried and ended up forgetting your case." Sun Xinxin said somewhat emb...Flower Guardian Expert in the Metropolis * Chapter 190: Military and Police Confrontation
Ye Shaoxiong had indeed heard about the name 'Sister Fairy' from Ye Mengying, but he didn't know who Sister Fairy was. He learned that Le Yu got into trouble because of a single insult towards Sister Fairy during a rainstorm in summer, and thus instantly realized how important Sister Fairy was to Xia Tian.
He did find it hard to believe when hearing about the armed robbery involving lightning and thunder, especially targeting a flower shop. However, he didn't really intend to delve into the matter's authenticity.
"Xia Tian, is there any possibility for negotiation in this situation" Ye Shaoxiong asked試探性地問道, from his perspective, he hoped that both sides wouldn’t escalate into conflict.
“No way. That idiot Le Yu should prepare to live a life worse than death!” Xia Tian replied乾脆地說出了自己的態度，罵他沒關係，但辱罵仙姐絕對不可以。
"Xia Tian, the Lei family has deep roots in the military and state security as well; you need to be careful. I believe they won't just let this go," Ye Shaoxiong warned提醒道。
“Understood, thank you, Brother Ye,” Xia Tian wasn't too concerned about it. Whether it was the military or state security, he didn’t care. Although his Third Master told him that even if he were as powerful as he could be, he couldn't stop a missile, but he found it hard to believe anyone would actually use a missile against him. Plus, if he couldn't block a missile, he could dodge it!
“Alright then, just take care of yourself,” Ye Shaoxiong didn’t want to say more.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaoxiong's expression turned serious. Xia Tian had already stirred up chaos in Jianghai City within a month and offended numerous powerful adversaries, although Xia Tian seemed unscathed each time, he couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling in his heart.
In the beginning, Ye Shaoxiong paid attention to Xia Tian mainly due to his abilities. However, things had changed now. Not only did Xia Tian save his grandfather and sister previously, but also saved the two most important people in the whole of the Ye family with his own hands, making him very grateful towards Xia Tian. Yet, Xia Tian's relationship with his younger sister left him conflicted.
Because Ye Mengying had once openly declared in front of Ye Mengyun and several important executives from the Tian Nan Group that Xia Tian was her man, everyone now knew about this within the Ye family and upper management at Tian Nan Group. Of course, Young Master Ye Xiong also knew about it.
Hearing that his precious little sister wanted to compete with Qiao Xiaoqiao for a man, Ye Xiong felt rather amused. What was so good about Xia Tian that Qiao Xiaoqiao and his little sister had to go after him together
Ye Xiong wasn’t without suspicions that Xia Tian was using the treatment of his grandfather as leverage against his younger sister; he even probed around about it at Ye Mengying. However, she didn’t seem to be forced into anything and when discussing Xia Tian, her naturally happy smile made him feel that his little sister seemed to have genuine feelings for Xia Tian.
Because of this, he hadn’t gone to confront Xia Tian yet, but he felt that Xia Tian would make a great friend. However, as an in-law, he definitely wouldn’t do well. He was like a super bomb that would occasionally explode and blow others away; if his little sister were really with someone like him, there would surely be endless troubles ahead.
But what made it difficult for him was knowing how stubborn his younger sister could be. Once she set her mind on something, it might be hard to change it. Therefore, he likely had to consider this matter carefully and before that time came, he could only stand by Xia Tian’s side and help settle any trouble he encountered.
But today’s situation was one that even he couldn’t solve; although the Qiao, Ye, and Su families were collectively known as the three major clans of Jianghai City, it didn’t mean that these three could rule over the city. There were still some truly powerful families that kept a low profile and weren’t commonly known by others, such as the Lei Family.
"Captain."
Mo Xiao walked in and interrupted Ye Xiong’s thoughts. "There's movement from the Lei Army."
In the municipal bureau’s Criminal Investigation Brigade No. 6…
“Huang Anping, come out here!” The one yelling wasn’t anyone else but Huang Hetao, Huang Anping’s father and the city chief.
Huang Anping walked out of the interrogation room with a confused expression: "Dad, you…
"This is the police station, call me chief!" Huang Haitao interrupted Huang Anping's words. "I asked you, what good deed did you just do"
"Chief, what did I do" Huang Anping was a bit dejected; it seemed like he hadn't done anything.
Huang Haitao slammed the table: "You haven't done anything Didn’t you just arrest over ten people One of them is named Lei Ting"
"Yes, they robbed and I'm a detective, so naturally I had to arrest them!" Huang Anping still wore an innocent expression.
"Nonsense!" Huang Haitao roared. "Tell me, what did they rob"
"Chief, they're suspected of robbing a flower shop," Huang Anping replied.
"Robbing a flower shop" Huang Haitao was both amused and exasperated. "I'm telling you, Huang Anping, have your brains fallen out Is it necessary for them to rob a flower shop"
"But..." Huang Anping wanted to explain.
Huang Haitao waved his hand dismissively, clearly not interested in hearing more. "Less talk and get them released immediately, then apologize to them!"
"Why should I apologize to them" Huang Anping was also getting annoyed. Releasing the people was one thing, but he wasn't going to apologize! He wouldn’t do something so foolish!
"Because I'm the chief, if I tell you to apologize, you have to do it!" Huang Haitao shouted angrily. "Hurry up and go!"
Huang Anping didn't move at all: "Chief, I am a detective. If someone commits a crime, I arrest them. I won’t let anyone off the hook or apologize!"
"Bang!" Huang Haitao slammed the table again heavily and said, "Huang Anping, do you want to go against me"
"Chief, may I say something" Li Ping asked cautiously from the side.
“Speak up quickly!” Huang Haitao was starting to lose patience.
"Chief, Lei Ting and them robbed Xinxin Flower Shop. Xia Tian reported it," Li Ping said hurriedly.
“What” Huang Haitao's face changed as he shouted at Huang Anping immediately afterwards, "Why didn't you say this earlier"
Huang Anping rolled his eyes but did not respond; instead, he thought to himself that it was unreasonable for his father to blame him without knowing the facts.
"Li Ping, tell me clearly what happened. Don’t leave anything out!" Huang Haitao's tone softened slightly.
“Yes, Chief.” Li Ping hurriedly reported the specifics of the incident.
After figuring out the situation, Huang Haitao's expression turned gloomy. This matter was really difficult to handle. If he released the person, it would offend Xia Tian; but if he didn't release them, it would offend the Lei family. It seemed that he had no choice but to make a decision.
"Director! Something bad has happened!" A policeman rushed in anxiously.
"What is it" Huang Haitao asked impatiently.
The building suddenly shook, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hallway. After a few seconds, dozens of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms burst into the room, each holding submachine guns. In an instant, everyone in the office, including Huang Haitao, was pointed at by gun barrels.
"Don't move or I'll shoot you!" The first one leading them was a major around thirty years old with sharp eyes that swept through everyone present. He shouted sternly.
Huang Anping subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but bang bang bang, a burst of bullets were fired straight into the ground in front of Huang Anping.
"This is a warning! If you dare move again, I'll shoot you!" The major shouted sternly.
Huang Anping broke out in cold sweat. At this moment, whether it was him or any other police officers in the office, they all realized that these soldiers were serious.
"Which military unit are you from What do you want" Huang Haitao was furious. As the Director of Public Security, being pointed at by a group of people with guns was an unbearable humiliation.
"I am Lei Jun! I don't change my name or identity! You've arrested one of my family members; release him immediately or else I'll ransack your police station!" The major said coldly.
Yellow Anping secretly cursed, calling them a bunch of bastards even more arrogant than that Summer guy!
"Captain Lei, General Thunder previously called me. I'm currently investigating the specifics regarding Thunder's arrest. If he hasn't committed any crimes, we will release him. However, I advise Captain Lei to note that what you're doing violates military discipline. A soldier’s firearm is not meant for ordinary civilians!" Huang Haitao was visibly furious. Previously, he had been contemplating which side—between the Lees and Summer—to take, but now that the army had taken action, it naturally pushed him towards opposing the Lee family.
"Fuck off with your bull**! We're police officers, not ordinary civilians!" Lei Jun showed no respect to Huang Haitao at all. "You won't release him Fine then, I'll do it myself!"
With a wave of his hand, Lei Jun commanded, "Go search."
"Yes, Captain!" The group responded in unison and rushed inside; soon after, someone shouted, "Found them!"
"Take him away," ordered Lei Jun.
Thunder and the others from Thunder Martial Arts Academy were quickly brought out with their handcuffs removed.
"Captain Lei, you should be aware of the consequences of your actions!" Huang Haitao angrily said.
"Mr. Yellow, you’re not in a position to tell me what to do!" Lei Jun sneered and snorted, "People from our Lee family aren’t something for a petty police chief like you to bully around."
A cold voice suddenly came from the doorway: "My Detective Squad isn't something for soldiers like you to act recklessly towards!" Cold Bingbing, who was stunningly beautiful yet enchantingly alluring, had appeared at the door with a pistol pointed directly at Lei Jun’s head. "Put down your guns or I’ll shoot him dead!o cause trouble and continued persuading Xia Tian."That’s unacceptable. No one can extort my wife." Xia Tian had his principles; 50,000 yuan was also just pocket change for him, but he wasn't concerne...
