Chapter 153 This is not a suitable place for bloodshed!
“You didn’t ask me to leave, I chose to leave on my own.” Su Rui shook his head, his face carrying a mocking expression.
He had given Song Tianxiang chances before, but the man simply didn’t cherish them.
“You want to leave, but can you?” Song Tianxiang said: “I told you, today I must have an explanation.”
Su Rui simply stopped trying to leave and sat back down on the stool: “What kind of explanation do you want?”
Song Tianxiang said in a deep voice: “It’s simple, you must face legal punishment.”
“Legal?” Upon hearing this, Su Rui was stunned for a moment, then said mockingly: “You seem like an honest person, so let me ask you, do you think the law is more important, or morality?”
Song Tianxiang didn’t immediately understand why Su Rui would ask such a question, and didn’t know how to answer.
He wasn’t truly a bad person, he just wanted to get revenge for his child.
Looking at Song Tianxiang’s reaction, Su Rui shook his head.
“Although you’re older, your mind is still clear. The law is certainly important, but in some cases, morality is the true measuring stick for judging matters.”
A solemn look appeared in Song Tianxiang’s eyes as he said firmly: “I still can’t let you go.”
Su Rui shrugged: “Then we’ll see if you can keep me here.”
Lin Aoxue remained silent beside them, but a cold gleam gradually gathered in her eyes.
At that moment, four police officers entered from outside and stood next to Su Rui.
One of the officers had already taken out a pair of shining handcuffs. He displayed his credentials and said sternly: “We are criminal investigators from Ninghai City Bureau. You are suspected of intentional assault and need to come with us for investigation.”
Su Rui turned to look at Song Tianxiang: “Your tactics are too basic.”
Song Tianxiang shook his head: “You’re wrong. Sometimes the most basic tactics are the most effective.”
“Actually, you have your own moral compass to judge right from wrong, but for your son’s sake, you’re willingly blinding yourself,” Su Rui said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the officer who had shown his credentials impatiently said: “Stop talking nonsense, take him away quickly!”
With that, one of the officers beside him moved to put the handcuffs on Su Rui’s wrists!
A cold light flashed in Su Rui’s eyes: “I’ll cooperate with the investigation, but is it really necessary to use these things?”
In Su Rui’s view, handcuffs were truly an insulting tool. Five years ago, he had been handcuffed as well, and not just handcuffs—that time he had leg irons too.
Therefore, every time Su Rui saw these objects, they triggered psychological disturbances within him.
For someone with his exceptional psychological resilience, such disturbances were extremely rare, and when they did occur, they foreshadowed very bad consequences.
The lead officer said: “A criminal suspect should have the awareness of a criminal suspect! You’re in no position to make demands!”
Su Rui put his hands behind his back and said: “I didn’t get a clear look at your credentials. I don’t know if you’re a real police officer or an impostor.”
Song Tianxiang watched Su Rui from behind, wanting to carefully observe what kind of trump card this young man who had caused him so much trouble would use to escape.
A trace of anger surged on the officer’s face, and he laughed in extreme anger: “Fine, I’ll let you see clearly!”
With that, he took out his credentials and held them in front of Su Rui’s face again!
“Your name is Ma Dongfang,” Su Rui read.
This Ma Dongfang smiled coldly: “Now can you come with us?”
“No,” Su Rui shook his head.
“I haven’t committed any crime, why should I go with you?” Su Rui raised his eyebrows.
“Fine, you won’t believe until you see the coffin,” Ma Dongfang said: “Once we get to the station, you’ll understand. This Mr. Song has provided us with all the evidence.”
Song Tianxiang nodded slightly. He truly didn’t believe Su Rui could stand against a state violence apparatus like the police. Unless he had incredibly powerful connections, the evidence would be enough to imprison him for the next ten years.
Lin Aoxue stepped forward, standing between Su Rui and Ma Dongfang, her voice ice-cold: “You cannot take him away.”
Ma Dongfang looked at Lin Aoxue’s face, a flash of amazement in his eyes, then said mockingly: “CEO Lin, don’t think that just because you’re beautiful you can obstruct police business. Be careful or I’ll take you in as a suspect too!”
“Is this how you treat suspects?”
Lin Aoxue was about to say more when she found Su Rui gently pulling her behind him, then telling her: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Just wait outside for my news.”
Lin Aoxue hesitated, then nodded.
“Also, don’t leave the Lin family villa until I’m out,” Su Rui instructed.
Seeing Su Rui’s serious expression, Lin Aoxue asked worriedly: “Will you be in there for a long time?”
“Not too long, probably four or five hours,” Su Rui smiled.
Lin Aoxue’s expression softened. She knew she needed to prepare in advance. If Su Rui really encountered some accident and couldn’t get out of detention in time, she would have to rescue him.
He had done too much for her; she had to do something for him.
Ma Dongfang looked at Su Rui with a cold smile and said: “Such arrogance.”
As a veteran criminal investigator, he had seen too many cases like this. If they wanted to make things difficult, there was no way a suspect could walk out safely in a short time.
Su Rui looked at Ma Dongfang and smiled slightly: “Let’s go then. I hope you won’t regret it.”
“I should be saying that to you. Some things shouldn’t be done, and some people shouldn’t be offended,” Ma Dongfang gave Su Rui a cold look.
“Oh? Are you warning me, or hinting at something? Hinting that I’ve offended someone?” Although Su Rui didn’t say it explicitly, he was clearly expressing his suspicion of Ma Dongfang and his colleagues.
“Hint to you? I’m really worrying unnecessarily,” Ma Dongfang pushed Su Rui and said mockingly: “Put the handcuffs on this brother who likes to talk big, then take him away.”
After saying this, Ma Dongfang glanced at Song Tianxiang sitting nearby, who gave him an almost imperceptible nod.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Ma Dongfang’s mouth. Two hours earlier, his bank card had received a sum equivalent to two years of his salary.
As a police officer, his annual extra income wasn’t much, mainly relying on his basic salary. Although Ma Dongfang wasn’t a good investigator and would take what he could get, receiving so much money at once was unprecedented for him.
When he first received his superior’s “instructions,” Ma Dongfang had been somewhat concerned. Although the sum wasn’t enormous, if it were ever investigated, the consequences would be severe enough.
But when he saw the conclusive evidence, Ma Dongfang put his mind at ease. In fact, if he handled this case entirely according to legal procedures, there would be no problems. Su Rui’s actions did constitute intentional assault, so taking these hundred thousand plus yuan was risk-free.
Their financial backer was, of course, Chairman Song of Tianxiang Group.
Although this criminal suspect seemed somewhat slippery and troublesome, Ma Dongfang had seen many such people over the years. Once they got him back to the interrogation room, even the toughest nut would crack within two hours!
“What a bunch of colluding scoundrels, rats and snakes in the same hole,” Su Rui caught their expressions fully, understanding exactly what was happening. He gave a cold laugh and started walking.
However, just as he was about to step forward, Su Rui turned his face back to Song Tianxiang and said very seriously: “Don’t be foolish enough to let yourself be used as someone’s pawn.”
Song Tianxiang shook his head: “I don’t think I understand what you’re saying.”
“You will understand one day,” Su Rui said meaningfully.
“I said, put the handcuffs on him!” Ma Dongfang shouted to his subordinates!
Su Rui’s “arrogance” had thoroughly angered him! It made this veteran officer feel like he was losing face! Originally, in a good mood from the hundred thousand plus yuan, he had exchanged a few more words with Su Rui, but didn’t expect the other party to be so disrespectful!
This wasn’t just disrespect—they were being utterly humiliated!
The officer beside him was about to put handcuffs on Su Rui, but the latter suddenly turned around, staring at Ma Dongfang with an unidentifiable light flashing in his eyes.
“What are you waiting for? Put on the handcuffs!” Ma Dongfang continued to shout!
Su Rui didn’t resist anymore. He extended both hands, allowing the shining handcuffs to be locked on his wrists once again.
Yes, once again.
Su Rui narrowed his eyes, as if the cold gleam had hurt his optic nerves.
Dragons have reverse scales that, when touched, provoke rage. But there are always people who, intentionally or unintentionally, touch these reverse scales. In such situations, would you choose to swallow your anger and pretend nothing happened, or would you step forward and use your fists to smash that arrogant face?
“Ma Dongfang, you’re Ma Donglai’s brother, right?” Su Rui suddenly said.
“What do you mean?” Ma Dongfang didn’t immediately understand why Su Rui would suddenly say this!
Ma Dongfang was indeed Ma Donglai’s brother. This Ma Donglai had previously, under Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Yuanxing’s instructions, tried to force a confession from Su Rui in the interrogation room. As a result, he was pinned to the wall by Su Rui’s dagger and beaten severely with just a few punches and kicks!
The key point was that Zhang Yuanxing, Ma Donglai, and others were beaten so badly on their own turf and had nowhere to complain. While they were recovering in the hospital, the Ninghai City Discipline Inspection Commission had already sent people to investigate, and these two police scoundrels could barely save themselves.
Now, after chasing away the brother, here comes the younger brother. The world really is full of coincidences.
Su Rui moved closer to Ma Dongfang, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said to him: “What I want to tell you is, don’t think nobody knows about the bad things you’ve done. This world is fair—it’s not that there’s no retribution, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet. When the time comes, evil will be repaid.”
For some reason, hearing Su Rui’s words, Ma Dongfang suddenly shuddered!
This shudder was caused by a chill spreading from the bottom of his heart!
Seeing his reaction, Su Rui gave a cold laugh and turned to leave the private room.
Lin Aoxue watched Su Rui leave, her expression somewhat complex. She turned around, her face returning to its icy coldness in an instant.
She looked at Song Tianxiang sitting in his seat and said very seriously and coldly: “From now on, I will use all my power against Tianxiang Group. I promise.”
