Chapter 2478: Chapter 2542: Apologies Are Useless
How strong is he? Naturally, a little policeman wouldn’t be able to stop him, even if the fellow looks like he weighs about two hundred pounds, it’s still no use, and Li Yifei directly pushed these four policemen out together.
As soon as Li Yifei made a move, the three behind immediately wanted to retaliate, but before they could touch Li Yifei, they were already retreating and walking out, as if pushed back by a wall.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The policeman being grabbed by Li Yifei was naturally disgruntled, reached out to twist Li Yifei’s hand, but Li Yifei, not wanting to dirty his hand, simply pushed him out directly, the four who walked in flew out, piling on top of each other, painful sounds simultaneously echoing, and Li Yifei followed them out, casually shutting the door.
"Yingying, you should go too..." said Mother Xu worriedly.
But Xu Yingying shook her head, comforting, "Mom, it’s no big deal. This matter is obviously wrong, it’s good for Yifei to handle it. Hitting someone and then daring to run away, and now the police come to turn black into white, I want to see exactly who the other side is, daring to behave like this."
"Sigh!" Mother Xu sighed, and Xu Zhenguo’s eyebrows tightened. As soon as these policemen came, they directly framed him; even a fool could see something was wrong. Hearing Xu Yingying’s words, Xu Zhenguo’s eyebrows relaxed, he faintly smiled, saying, "Good, let Yifei handle it. I originally wasn’t too angry, but seeing what these policemen are doing now, I’m a bit upset."
"You should focus on recovering, no need to worry about being upset. We’ll see if you can still run outside every day after this." Mother Xu gave him a stern look.
Xu Zhenguo laughed heartily, saying, "The more things are like this, the more we need to cherish life. I used to rush too much for work, now I have time, of course, I should enjoy it more."
"Enough, don’t talk nonsense, especially in front of our daughter. Once you recover, you need to stay home with me, wherever I go, you go!" Mother Xu said firmly, sounding almost like a playful tease. Xu Yingying pursed her lips, secretly smiling. She absolutely wasn’t worried about Li Yifei’s side. With him there, not to mention a few policemen, even if the other side had something shady, came from a big background, doing wrong without apologizing, wanting to flip truth into lies, slander and frame, that’s not going to work.
After hitting the father-in-law and still daring to act like this, they must have eaten bear’s heart, leopard’s guts. In Ning Province, anyone daring to do such a thing to Li Yifei’s father-in-law is indeed a serious matter.
In the corridor, several patients and family members watched the scene in bewilderment, what was going on?
A passing doctor hurriedly stepped aside, thinking the worst had happened, but Li Yifei gave them a smile, waving his hand saying, "Nothing’s wrong, not an attack on police, just seeking answers from these officers."
"Don’t be impulsive, buddy, striking at police isn’t something small," a patient warned.
"No way, I just want to ask this officer, how did the person who hit someone become the victim, while the one who got hit has to face trouble." After Li Yifei spoke, the policemen pushed to the ground instantly scrambled up. Yang Jin, the leader, pointed at Li Yifei, cursing, "You damn well played it, boy, daring to attack police, I’ll see how you handle this. Wu Zi, call for backup, someone’s maliciously attacking police here."
This group was equipped with few weapons for the call, not expecting to encounter such a situation. Coupled with the sheer strength Li Yifei demonstrated with his push just now, the seasoned officers realized that confronting Li Yifei head-on was unwise, but they weren’t afraid. Today, anyone daring to attack police is like seeking death, never heard of police being beaten and the attackers getting away, so Yang Jin wasn’t scared at all.
Li Yifei smiled faintly, slapped over, bending Yang Jin’s arm, another kick sent him once more to the ground, back crashing against the wall with a thud. Li Yifei was very measured in his actions, otherwise, that kick might have sent the guy straight to Yama; spared from death yet facing penal consequences. Had the person followed procedures, Li Yifei wouldn’t trouble him, but the guy came intending to twist the facts, clearly aiding the perpetrator. This cannot be tolerated.
Just a small-time officer daring to have such a twisted stance, thinking he weighs so much? Of course, these kinds are not rare nowadays. When Li Yifei encounters one, he ensures it becomes unforgettable, their authority isn’t a shield for wrongdoing.
"You!" The other three policemen’s faces radically changed. If Li Yifei’s initial grab and push showcased his tough streak, then the recent action directly was a full-on strike, leaving them further frightened to retaliate despite their immense anger.
"Take him along, let’s chat outside, don’t interrupt others’ medical care." Li Yifei’s words seemed beyond disputing. After speaking, he walked out first, observing patients and doctors quickly stepping aside, seeing Li Yifei leading, with the just suddenly subdued policemen supporting the beaten one as they trailed after him.
This was an unprecedented scene, something people hadn’t seen before, whether online or in real life. Usually, it’s the other way around, and it’s rare for the weaker side to be the police. But here, their understanding was overturned.
On their way out, a few police officers hesitated. Their task today... was already a bit dodgy. The three of them were colleagues of Yang Jin and were called by him for this task. They had done their share of twisting the law for some dirty money, and usually, when ordinary people encountered such situations, they would back down after being intimidated. If anyone dared to resist, they’d arrest them and hold them for a few days, and at worst, just pay a little compensation to settle it. But they didn’t expect to meet someone tough this time, someone who not only resisted right on the spot but also fought back. Despite being physically attacked, the other side still refused to let go, making them feel a bit intimidated.
A group of people came out, and Li Yifei stood there boldly, looking at the four police officers with different expressions. As they walked over, Li Yifei raised his chin and said, "Come on, call your superiors, get whoever behind all this. I want to see who is actually twisting the truth here."
The officers exchanged glances, and Yang Jin felt a pang of guilt. He didn’t know what to do; he was undoubtedly the one most at fault in this situation. Now beaten and bruised, he still couldn’t stand straight. If it were the past, he’d have already charged at the opponent, but seeing how he couldn’t win the fight, and the other side seemed ready to escalate things, it left him in a bind. Logically, even though he got beaten up, it wouldn’t matter if the situation blew up, but he had ulterior motives, after all.
Yang Jin remained silent, and the other three were even less inclined to speak. They were hoping to extricate themselves from the situation. Nowadays, some issues aren’t judged by who’s right or who didn’t break the law but rather by who makes the most noise. Those who make a fuss are seen as having a point and won’t get punished. The tall man was raising a stink, and these officers in uniform were getting intimidated.
"What now?" Li Yifei scoffed at their silence. "So, no one wants to take responsibility now? Where did all that bravado go? You, speak up, tell me what’s going on."
This was directed at Yang Jin, who, upon being called out, grit his teeth and stepped forward, speaking softly, "Brother, you must understand the situation. Let me apologize to you..."
"Stop!" Li Yifei cut him off, raising his hand dismissively. "Don’t back down. Weren’t you quite self-righteous just now? Oh, no, you were so fair and just. So now, keep going. Not only did I hit someone, but I’m also going to keep threatening you. According to your procedures, you should be calling for backup now, bring in the special forces or something to deal with me!"
"This..." Yang Jin hadn’t expected the other party to be this difficult. Seeing their posture, either they had nothing to fear and had backing, or they understood this industry well enough to know he wouldn’t make a fuss.
Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, signaling for them to get started. Yang Jin’s expression turned sour as the others backed away, leaving him alone to face it.
"This... brother, I was wrong earlier, I admit my mistake. Show some leniency, and I promise..."
"No need for that. I can’t afford to give you face; you’re the police, administering justice impartially, not needing anyone’s face. So hurry up and deal with me according to the law. My dad hit someone else’s car, and now I’ve hit a police officer. So you better handle me. If you don’t, don’t blame me for being rude." Li Yifei said mercilessly.
Yang Jin could only feel his molars throb with pain, wondering why he’d encountered such a stubborn opponent. More people gathered around, and Yang Jin worried about the situation spreading, so he said, "How about this, I’ll compensate you. I can overlook your hitting me, and as for your father’s matter, I’ll handle it properly and give you a satisfactory answer."
Li Yifei shook his head, looking unconvinced, and said, "Do you think I’d believe you? Haha, let me tell you straight, I don’t need you to handle that matter. I want everything cleared up—who was driving, how they fled and got you involved. I want everything clear and open; anyone trying to pull a fast one, I won’t let them off."
Yang Jin’s anger flared up, but he didn’t dare act on it, knowing 100% he couldn’t win against Li Yifei. What to do? Yielding wouldn’t let him off. Yang Jin’s eyes darted around, deciding to run.
Yes, he planned to run. If he couldn’t fight or scare him, now stuck with the person not letting go, he figured he might as well run, dodge this bullet, and deal with it later.
Thinking this through, Yang Jin looked around, seemingly threatening the onlookers, and said, "This is pointless, so pointless."
While saying this, Yang Jin suddenly sprang into action, sprinting towards the hospital entrance. The people in his way quickly stepped aside. Although he was chubby, he managed to burst out pretty fast with those few steps.
