Chapter 213: Hitting the Wall 3
Less than three minutes after Ah Guan was dragged upstairs, a rapid and noisy sound of footsteps approached. Then, the director, a solemn expression on his face, appeared before everyone, leading a large group of reporters armed with cameras and microphones.
Why had the director rushed to the scene so quickly? The incident this morning caused by the professor and his gang was truly serious. They had the audacity to openly open fire in a bustling downtown restaurant. The entire incident was recorded in full by reporters on the scene and replayed repeatedly on television. The breathtaking scene of Wah Di's sudden, head-splitting blow to the professor's head became a focal point of media attention, receiving repeated airplay. Thankfully, these videos were carefully edited; otherwise, the excessively violent and graphic scenes would have caused significant discomfort to viewers. The most striking aspect of these videos was undoubtedly Wah Di's incredible marksmanship; each shot was delivered with pinpoint accuracy, practically without fail.
The Commissioner, however, was relieved and pleased that, despite the considerable commotion caused by the fierce gunfight, no innocent civilians were harmed. He was therefore extremely pleased with Wah Di's outstanding performance. When reporters swarmed the police station, demanding in-depth coverage of the incident, the Commissioner readily and joyfully agreed. He personally led the reporters to the patrol headquarters.
In fact, they had already briefed Superintendent Liu by phone long before the director and his men arrived. It was for this reason that Superintendent Liu chose to turn a blind eye to Guan's plight and urgently urged Superintendent Robert to swiftly resolve Guan's internal strife. After all, if reporters were to capture such an ignominious scene again, it would truly be an indelible disgrace to the entire police department!
The director smiled, his heart filled with joy. You know, in recent years, Hong Kong's bustling city has been plagued by frequent robberies. These robbers are so brazen and arrogant that they dare to engage in fierce street fire with police officers in broad daylight, armed with AKs! Every time such a thrilling scene occurs, it results in numerous police injuries or even deaths. Even more heartbreaking, innocent citizens often suffer the consequences.
Because of this, Hong Kong society has consistently held a poor opinion of the local police force, and public pressure has weighed heavily on the police. However, this operation was like a ray of light breaking through the darkness—without a single officer being killed, all the robbers were successfully killed and captured! This was undoubtedly a resounding and heartwarming victory, a long-awaited moment of glory for the Hong Kong police. As participants in this operation, Hua Di and others represented the entire Hong Kong police force in achieving this remarkable victory.
Meanwhile, downstairs, reporters were conducting their interviews in an orderly manner. Although some eagle-eyed reporters had faintly heard roars coming from upstairs before entering the police station, their slight doubts were instantly cast aside once they entered the joyful atmosphere. After all, the theme of the day had been clearly set as a tribute to the brave and fearless police force, so who wanted to spoil the fun at this moment?
Meanwhile, in the upstairs office, Guan was still seething with rage. He had been tempted to continue his outburst, venting his frustration. Unfortunately, Superintendent Roberts showed no sign of leniency. He decisively ordered him cuffed and gagged. Faced with such harsh measures, Guan's face turned blue, his entire body trembling, his fury threatening to burst forth.
The press conference, originally scheduled for an hour, quickly concluded, but for Huadi and his colleagues, the work wasn't over yet. With Guan still trapped upstairs, they couldn't leave work on time and enjoy a break as usual. After all the reporters had left, Deputy Director Stephen quickly gathered all those involved in the event into a spacious, brightly lit conference room. He sat at the head of the table with a serious expression, scanning the room with a clear, eagerness to understand what had just transpired.
Soon, Guan was led into the conference room by the dignified Superintendent Robert. Upon entering, Guan caught sight of Deputy Commissioner Stephen, seated in the center, and burst into tears like a child who had suffered a great deal of injustice. He sobbed and complained to the Deputy Commissioner, "Deputy Commissioner! Please help me! I'm being treated inhumanely here! Everyone gangs up on me, even a lowly police officer insults and hits me... wuwuwu..."
However, just as Deputy Director Stephen was about to ask for details, Guan showed no sign of stopping, instead constantly interrupting the others. This made Deputy Director Stephen frown slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful about Guan's words. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Deputy Director Stephen slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Shut up! Listen to what others are saying first!"
Stephen looked at Apple sternly and demanded, "Apple, how dare you insult and assault Inspector Guan? This kind of insubordination is a serious violation of discipline!" He knew that in the eyes of those in power, the truth often doesn't matter; they care more about who dares to challenge their authority. After all, if even a lowly officer dares to act so brazenly, wouldn't the inspector follow suit and insult or even assault a higher-ranking superintendent? That's the absolute last thing the higher-ups want to see.
Facing Stephen's questioning, Apple seemed a little aggrieved, and she quickly explained: "Sir, I really didn't insult or beat my boss! The situation was like this. When Officer Guan saw us, he shouted "son of a bastard" and "lese" at us without saying a word. You know, I grew up in Canada, and my understanding of Mandarin is indeed not deep enough. I saw Officer Guan saying "son of a bastard" and "lese" over and over again, and I thought these two words were the words he often used to greet people and express friendship. Since Officer Guan said so, I naturally responded to him with these two words." After saying this, Apple showed an innocent expression, as if she was the one who suffered a great injustice.
Apple's humorous words were like a spring breeze that swept through the hearts of everyone present, instantly causing everyone to burst into laughter. The laughter rose and fell, as if it was about to burst through the roof. Immediately afterwards, many people echoed Apple's point, saying that she was right.
However, at this moment, Stephen, who was standing aside, was thinking to himself: "Hmph! You bunch of hateful guys, do you really think I'm a fool? Although I come from a foreign country, I have lived in this prosperous and bustling Hong Kong for many years. How could I not know whether words like "son of a bastard" and "lecher" are used to insult others?" Thinking of this, Stephen couldn't help but frowned, his face became a little gloomy.
However, Stephen was deeply irritated by Guan's behavior. Even though Apple, the innocent and lovely girl, had let slip a curse word about a real jerk, Stephen had no intention of punishing her. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a subtle smile curling up the corners of his mouth. Then he slowly said, "Well, that does make sense. It seems Commander Guan must have misunderstood you."
As soon as the words fell, Guan's entire body exploded like a powder keg. His eyes widened, his face flushed crimson, and he howled at the top of his lungs, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense and his distortion of right and wrong! He's clearly teasing you and treating you like a fool! There's no such thing as a friendly greeting like 'son of a bitch'!"
