Chapter 2216: Chapter 2055: You Think This Is a Court?
"What’s wrong, Deputy Director? Didn’t you say I could ask questions? What’s the matter, are you scared? Are you afraid I might reveal some explosive information about you in front of your many subordinates?" Song Xiaodong stared right into Deputy Director’s eyes, their noses almost touching.
The Deputy Director sneered at Song Xiaodong and said, "Ridiculous. I’ve come a long way with no blemishes, no errors, no shady records. Do you think I’m afraid of you making up lies?"
But the Deputy Director’s voice was trembling.
Song Xiaodong replied calmly, "Deputy Director, I’ve been visiting our Minghe Music Academy lately; you know, it’s full of star-like female students, very pleasant to the eyes when you walk down the streets."
The Deputy Director’s lips still curved into a smile, but upon hearing "Music Academy" from Song Xiaodong’s mouth, the corners of his mouth twitched, his smug grin vanished, and his gaze toward Song Xiaodong turned icy cold.
"So, Deputy Director, should I continue asking?" Song Xiaodong flared his nostrils and gave the Deputy Director a provocative look.
The Deputy Director gritted his teeth and said to Song Xiaodong, "These things don’t threaten me; I have no blemishes."
"You should know that’s not the point; I’ve got something good in my pocket I’d like the Deputy Director to take a look at." Song Xiaodong tilted his head and spoke to the Deputy Director.
Worried that Song Xiaodong might know something, and wanting to ascertain how much Song Xiaodong knew about these matters, the Deputy Director obediently bent down, reached into Song Xiaodong’s pocket, and pulled out a piece of paper.
It was a front-page headline torn from a newspaper.
The title read, "Senior Official Meets Female University Student from Academy with Mysterious Envelope in Private."
The other clueless officers wanted to join in the excitement but were stopped by a glare from the Deputy Director.
The Deputy Director carefully read the contents of this newspaper, his temple veins bulging, his chest rising and falling violently, nostrils flaring, reaching out to punch Song Xiaodong square in the eye.
This was exactly what Song Xiaodong was waiting for.
The Family Guard trailing behind Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru swiftly raised their phones, capturing the moment perfectly.
Song Xiaodong deliberately did not dodge, his head tilted from the punch, turning back without anger but rather smiling triumphantly at the Deputy Director.
"Writing like this constitutes slander. If there’s any mistake in reporting in the future, you’ll be held accountable!" The Deputy Director pointed at Song Xiaodong.
"Deputy Director, you know what matters is not whether these things are true or false, but the impact they have, whether there’s attention on them is most important." Song Xiaodong shrugged indifferently.
"If you arrest me, tomorrow, this newspaper will truly be published, and with the punch you gave me, it’ll definitely make tomorrow’s headlines." Song Xiaodong lowered his voice so only the Deputy Director could hear.
"Release him!" The Deputy Director vented his anger on the officers.
The two officers hurriedly released Song Xiaodong.
"Gather the team!"
The two officers were bewildered, momentarily stunned.
"Gather the team!" The Deputy Director shouted at them again.
Everyone regrouped, taking the officer whose leg Song Xiaodong had broken.
Song Xiaoru was somewhat at a loss seeing this situation.
"Xiaodong, why have they left? What did you show that Deputy Director? Why did he suddenly want to leave?" Song Xiaoru asked Song Xiaodong.
"Sis, you better not ask. It’s not something good." Song Xiaodong told Song Xiaoru.
"This time you’ve really stirred up big trouble. When have you ever seen police cars dare to come to our house and smash our things? These people are seriously formidable." Song Xiaoru said.
"Sis, you don’t have to worry. If they break our stuff, they have to compensate. They come to investigate me; whoever comes will suffer. I’ll make that Wang Chao cry out to heaven in vain, call to earth without luck." Song Xiaodong said.
Returning to the second floor, Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, Xiao Yingying, Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, Sun Ziyun, Su Yuya, and Li Sijie were up, nervously gathered on the sofa.
"Alright, alright, it’s nothing, go back to sleep." Song Xiaodong saw all his wives awake, felt a bit apologetic, and said to everyone.
"Brother Xiaodong, what happened?" Xiao Yingying rubbed her eyes and asked Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong approached, pulling Xiao Yingying’s head to rest against his belly, saying to Xiao Yingying, "It’s nothing; he wanted to arrest me, but I have dirt on him, so he’s afraid to arrest me, even wants to invite me tomorrow."
"Xiaodong, maybe it’s best to let this matter go, anyway, you see, Xuanxuan and I are fine." Miao Qingqing glanced at Miao Xuanxuan and said to Song Xiaodong.
"Yes." Miao Xuanxuan nodded in agreement.
Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan and said, "The grudge is there; it’s not so easy to say let’s just solve it. Besides, this Wang Chao is so odious, I must properly give him some basic education."
Everyone watched Song Xiaodong without speaking.
Song Xiaodong knew what everyone was thinking, so he had to give everyone a reassurance pill and said, "Don’t worry, he might know a Deputy Commander, but I know a Senior Officer in Beijing. Now his father’s already retired, even if not retired, I’m not afraid of him."
"Alright, everyone go to sleep!"
"I want to sleep holding Brother Xiaodong!" Xiao Yingying directly jumped into Song Xiaodong’s arms.
"Alright, alright."
"If you sleep with him, how can you even sleep?" Chu Xianling jokingly said to Xiao Yingying.
Sun Yiyi laughed and said, "Keep it down, if you don’t sleep, we want to sleep."
Not a word was exchanged throughout the night.
Early the next morning, as the Provincial Public Security Department just started working, the Deputy Director’s office secretary called Song Xiaodong.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Song?"
A sweet female voice was on the line.
"It’s me, and you are?" Song Xiaodong answered simply.
"Good day Mr. Song, this is Deputy Director Zhou’s office at the Provincial Public Security Department." The voice responded.
"Hmm." Song Xiaodong replied coldly.
The secretary on the other end was possibly a bit surprised; rarely had anyone responded so coldly over the phone.
Once bitten, twice shy; everything must have a second time.
"Um, so our Deputy Director wants to invite Mr. Song to our office for a face-to-face talk; does Mr. Song have time?" The office secretary politely asked Song Xiaodong.
The office secretary was also curious why this time the Deputy Director repeatedly emphasized it was an invitation, not a notification.
