Xiao Yufan had never considered himself worthy of arrogance, yet he also never believed there was anyone who could force him to bow his head…
A year of trials had matured Xiao Yufan—not just in strength, but also in temperament. That enviable identity of his was, after all, a fact set in stone.
Qin Ming glared at Xiao Yufan’s defiant demeanor, silently cursing under his breath before shifting his lustful gaze toward the three women. He could already imagine the sight of those women begging beneath him once Xiao Yufan was locked away.
“Keep your eyes in check, or I won’t mind turning you into a permanent cripple…”
Tianxuan’s voice carried a chill, her lips curving into a faint smile that sent a shiver down Qin Ming’s spine. Only the presence of armed officers nearby stopped him from bolting on the spot.
“Young people should avoid being too reckless. Since you lack manners, I’ll have to teach you a lesson in discipline—on behalf of your parents.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, the overweight man’s face turned dark with fury. Feeling the oppressive killing intent radiating from Tianxuan, he felt deeply humiliated and his anger flared.
“Enough noise. If you want to step in for others, don’t forget your own limits. Don’t end up humiliating yourself. Besides, you’re in no position to lecture me about my parents. You have five minutes to disappear from my sight—after that, the consequences are on you.”
As his words fell, the clinking of bowls and chopsticks filled the air. This was audacity—absolute arrogance. At a moment like this, such boldness was either sheer bravado or genuine power. Clearly, everyone still assumed Xiao Yufan belonged to the former…
“Youthful recklessness isn’t your fault, but failing to read the situation—that’s just naivety. Regardless of who you are, you’re coming with me to the Municipal Public Security Bureau after hitting someone!”
As if he had just heard a huge joke, the overweight man showed deep contempt. He had seen too many spoiled young men like this. Although the head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau wasn’t a high-ranking official, he certainly wasn’t someone who could be stepped on by just anyone.
“Tianxuan, take care of these trash. I don’t want their presence to sully this place. Remember, don’t get hurt yourself…”
Without sparing the man another glance, Xiao Yufan turned his gaze gently toward Tianxuan, his voice soft enough to be intoxicating. To the line of armed officers, however, it sent a jolt of shock.
Nodding lightly, Tianxuan knew these weaklings posed no threat to her, but the warmth in her heart from Xiao Yufan’s concern made her feel cherished. At least, this man still cared for her as always.
Then, everyone finally understood why Xiao Yufan dared to be so bold. In an instant, Tianxuan’s graceful figure vanished from sight.
Each officer felt a sharp pain in their arms, their wrists trembling involuntarily. Then, to their horror, they noticed blood slowly seeping from thin cuts.
A cold breeze brushed against the neck of the overweight man, a single strand of hair drifting past his face. His eyes widened in fear.
“Attacking a police officer? Even if you were the emperor of heaven, you won’t leave this place today. You’ll be locked up for years!”
Ignoring the panic on the older man’s face, Qin Ming’s expression stiffened as he watched Tianxuan strike. The charge of assaulting an officer was far more serious than simple assault. In his mind, even if Xiao Yufan were a god, he would still suffer.
“Crack!”
Another sharp sound rang out. Xiao Yufan, who had been motionless until now, finally moved. Qin Ming was sent reeling from the slap, nearly falling to the ground.
“You ruined my mood. Originally, today you wouldn’t have had the chance to walk out of here. But I don’t want this place to be stained, so consider yourself lucky…”
His voice sounded like a ghost from the underworld. Xiao Yufan’s figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Qin Ming. His sinister face was filled with cold killing intent, forcing Qin Ming to retreat another two steps.
“Director Qin, what a delightful mood you have. Do you really think the Public Security Bureau is your private domain?”
Just as everyone’s nerves were being tested, a calm yet icy voice suddenly echoed through the air. The overweight man turned sharply, and upon seeing the newcomer, his expression froze.
“Minister Yu, what brings you here? I wasn’t really…”
The middle-aged man’s face turned pale. The newcomer was none other than his immediate superior—the Minister of the Supervisory Department. He couldn’t fathom what wind had blown this renowned elder from Beijing’s political circles here…
Considering a possibility, the man stole a glance at Xiao Yufan. Seeing the latter’s puzzled expression, he relaxed slightly. Perhaps this was just a coincidence.
Xiao Yufan naturally recognized the newcomer immediately. He had met this elder on several occasions before. This high-ranking, approachable man had left quite an impression. But Xiao Yufan knew this meeting wasn’t accidental.
“Minister Yu?” Xiao Yufan murmured after a pause, his pupils narrowing slightly. If he wasn’t mistaken, this elder must have a deep connection with Yu Yihan…
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Xiao Yufan and Yu Yihan exchanged a brief glance. Feeling the uncertainty in her eyes, Xiao Yufan became even more convinced of their relationship.
“There’s no need to explain. I’ve seen enough. I hope you have a good reason, or tomorrow you’ll be suspended pending investigation!”
The elder waved his hand, cutting off the middle-aged man’s words. His voice was so authoritative that no one could resist. Upon hearing this, the man’s last hope vanished. He knew without thinking that the elder had come specifically for him.
The middle-aged man couldn’t understand how this young man could possess such an identity that even this upright and fair elder would take his side. But now, one thing was clear—he had truly provoked someone he shouldn’t have…
Qin Ming’s expression was a mixture of emotions, his inner turmoil evident. He finally realized that some people indeed had the right to be arrogant—and compared to Xiao Yufan, he was merely a ridiculous jester.
Originally, Xiao Yufan had intended for his grandfather to handle the aftermath. But since the elder had already arrived, there was no need to trouble him further. Besides, these people weren’t even worth the SITU family’s involvement…
