Chapter 618 Pug
Chi Lei caught sight of Ding Fan and was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected to encounter Ding Fan here.
Chi Lei glanced at the two beaten security guards, then his eyes shifted to Young Master Jiang standing nearby. The moment he saw Young Master Jiang, Chi Lei was taken aback.
Young Master Jiang came from a powerful background—his father was the Vice Mayor of Yun Gang City, and his full name was Jiang Ming. His father's name was Jiang Anbang.
Jiang Anbang held significant influence in Yun Gang City. Although currently just the vice mayor, in Yun Gang City, he was indeed a fearsome figure whose impact could shake the entire city.
Jiang Anbang had served as the vice mayor of Yun Gang City for twelve years, interacting with nearly every official, big and small, and he had even promoted a considerable number of these officials himself.
Besides,
Entrepreneurs in Yungang and many on both the rightful and the darker sides of society had also received favors from Jiang Anbang, making his credibility possibly surpass even that of the city's mayor in Yun Gang City.
At that moment, Chi Lei actually saw Jiang Ming, the son of Jiang Anbang, and from the look of things, Ding Fan had just clashed with Jiang Ming.
"What are you doing here? Causing a disturbance of public order…" Chi Lei looked gravely at Ding Fan.
Ding Fan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chi Lei.
Without a word, Chi Lei had directly shifted blame onto him, clearly intending to curry favor with Jiang Ming.
"Chi Lei, we are here today to visit the leadership of Group 3567; let's not meddle in other matters. If we delay the task assigned to us… it will be tough to explain when we return."
At that moment, a man in a suit standing next to Chi Lei spoke to him.
This man, also a section chief, was assigned to visit the hotel to check on Ding Fan. Essentially, both Chi Lei and the man in the suit were tasked to assist and work for the city officials and scout the place for them.
Since Chi Lei and the man in the suit didn't know Ding Fan, they both stood before him unrecognized.
After listening to the man in the suit, Chi Lei replied, "As government officials, if we encounter societal scum like this, natural it is our duty to tidy them up. Should we just watch them continue to harm the community?"
Chi Lei finished speaking and looked toward Jiang Ming, "We must protect the safety of the people."
Ding Fan watched Chi Lei, huffed lightly, and felt more regret for Elder Chi, a man of steely resolve who unfortunately had such a sycophantic offspring.
"Arrest this idiot…" At that moment, Jiang Ming shouted to Chi Lei, "Your advancement shall be my responsibility hereafter."
At that time, Chi Lei reacted as if he had heard the most pleasant tune in the world. A broad smile brightened his face.
"Young Master Jiang, rest assured, your affairs are my affairs. If this idiot dared to offend you, I certainly will not let him off."
Saying this, Chi Lei turned to the four attendants behind him, "Arrest this man, and later take him to the judicial administration department on charges of causing a public disturbance."
As Chi Lei spoke, he puffed out his chest and continued, "We must resist societal scum like him. I will personally testify to prove this scum disrupted social order."
This Chi Lei was indeed an expert at changing faces, showing a flattering demeanor to Jiang Ming while adopting a righteous stance against his foes.
Ding Fan even wondered if Chi Lei had previously taken acting lessons.
Chi Lei and the man in the suit led those four men, all selected from the SWAT Team.
The main reason for choosing these people was that leaders from groups three, five, six, and seven were present in the hotel, and they needed some formidable characters around. Should any of the leaders encounter trouble, these individuals could prove useful.
"Take action!" Chi Lei ordered several followers.
The four followers immediately approached Ding Fan.
"Hmph! Clueless fools!" Cheng Bufan's figure flickered, and he was instantly in front of Ding Fan.
Before the four followers could even reach Ding Fan, Cheng Bufan lightly waved his right hand.
The four men instantly lost their balance and fell to the ground in unison.
Seeing Cheng Bufan effortlessly take down four men with a mere wave of his hand left the people inside the hotel utterly astonished.
Those four men were strong and robust, evidently having undergone long-term combat training. It would be difficult to deal with even one of them, let alone all four at once.
Suddenly, the hotel was abuzz with shocked and awed murmurs.
"Did you see how that guy just knocked down four people in a blink?"
"I didn't see it, that move was just too slick! This man really keeps his skills hidden!"
...
At this point, not just the onlookers in the hotel lobby, but even the waitress whom Cheng Bufan had just rescued was gazing at him with adoration.
Knocking out four people in one move was undeniably too cool for anyone.
At that moment, Chi Lei's eyes widened. He knew the caliber of the four men he had brought; they were among the top fighters in the SWAT Team. Yet, such formidable characters were effortlessly subdued by someone else.
"Do...do you know what you're doing? You are resisting the law, you are resisting arrest!" Chi Lei pointed at Cheng Bufan and Ding Fan and exclaimed.
"You sure talk big. According to you, your word is the law?" Ding Fan retorted.
Chi Lei was stunned, he had not expected Ding Fan to throw such a severe accusation his way.
"I...I..." Chi Lei stuttered, unable to say another word.
"What's going on here?" Just then, a bald man pushed open the hotel's main door and entered the foyer.
Upon arriving, this man immediately furrowed his brow.
Before this bald man could even speak, someone was already scurrying over to him.
The person hurrying over was none other than Chi Lei.
"Vice Mayor Jiang, there are people here disturbing public order and even assaulting our law enforcement officers..."
The newcomer was none other than Jiang Ming's father, Jiang Anbang, a well-known figure in Yun Gang City. It was seeing such a person that made Chi Lei wag his tail like a pug and rush over.
