Chapter 826 - 826: Another Invitation Delivered

Guan Xiangyong watched as Di Junxiong took out his phone and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Brother, it's really not necessary for such a small matter.

Please be generous and let me go this time. No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely cooperate fully."

"Stop the pretense!" Di Junxiong said righteously, "Cooperating with the police in solving cases is your duty.

Besides, who told you this is a small matter?

Whether you owe money or not is another matter. It's a fact that you barged in with weapons, which I witnessed clearly. Is this a small matter in your eyes?"

Guan Xiangyong knew that words weren't enough, so he took out his wallet, brought out all the cash, approximately over two thousand in total, and handed it to Di Junxiong, saying, "Will this do?"

Di Junxiong stepped back, adjusted the angle of the camera on his chest, and said angrily, "You're even trying to bribe me openly? You have to come with me now!"

After speaking, he immediately dialed out to call his colleagues to arrest them.

After the call, Guan Xiangyong glanced at the police rank on Di Junxiong's shoulder and then brazenly sneered, "You really don't know what's good for you. Are you new here?"

"Yes, I just arrived in Jiangcheng a few days ago," Di Junxiong nodded in acknowledgment.

Guan Xiangyong flicked his cigarette ash and laughed, "That explains it. To be honest, I've been around this area for seven whole years, so think about the rest."

The implication was that if he were to fall, it would have already happened, and it definitely wouldn't be because of a rookie cop.

If a general is cowardly, the whole troop is cowardly.

Guan Xiangyong, being the leader, didn't back down, which set an example for his four subordinates.

The four underlings crouched on the ground started acting arrogantly.

"Newbie, you probably don't know how deep our Brother Yong's connections are."

"You're really clueless. Just arrived and didn't even come to pay respects to Brother Yong. Looks like you're not planning on advancing."

"We're giving you another chance: admit your mistake and treat us to a meal, then we'll forget this ever happened. In the future, we can be friends, and if there's a thief or something, we can help out."

Di Junxiong couldn't help but laugh at that: "What a joke! You really overestimate yourselves. Let me ask you, did Shi Yong come pay respects to you?"

"Not yet, but..." Guan Xiangyong paused, spinning the jade ball in his hand, and laughed, "I'm laying it out there - within a month, Shi Yong will have to come to me."

"So confident?" Di Junxiong feigned astonishment.

One of the underlings said proudly, "Of course! The previous chief Song Keren was ousted because she didn't pay respects to our Brother Yong.

And what was the result?

Didn't she step down in just a few months?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng glanced at Di Junxiong.

This kid is really bad, leading Guan Xiangyong to his own demise with every sentence!

Guan Xiangyong wasn't clean to start with. Knowing Shi Yong's character, he will definitely investigate thoroughly.

Now that Song Keren is mentioned, Guan Xiangyong might have to spend the next few years celebrating New Year in prison.

Realizing his subordinates were too loose-tongued, Guan Xiangyong shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

Then he looked at Di Junxiong and said, "Brother, call off the reinforcement. There's really no need to be so absolute. Director Hu and I are sworn brothers. Even if you get me in, I'll still have to come out."

"Pfft!" Xiao Feng burst out laughing. This is some brotherhood indeed, selling out your brother before even stepping into the station.

While speaking, two police cars stopped outside.

Di Junxiong pointed at Guan Xiangyong and his four underlings and briefly explained the situation.

The officers professionally put on gloves, then had the four underlings point at the weapons for photos, followed by evidence collection, and took them to the police car.

After much hustle, Di Junxiong turned off the body camera and asked Xiao Feng, "Master, that Yong guy said you owe money, is that true?"

"You should ask your master's wife," Xiao Feng replied.

Du Qingyue sighed, "It was my dad who borrowed the money, fifty thousand, and Guan Xiangyong said with interest, we have to pay him back sixty-nine thousand."

"Oh, no need for you to worry about it then, Master's wife. This counts as a high-interest loan, and you weren't the borrower, so leave the rest to us," Di Junxiong said as he patted his chest.

"Sorry for the trouble," Du Qingyue said politely.

Di Junxiong waved, "It's no trouble at all, completely within my duty. I'll be off now, Master's wife."

"Why don't you and your colleagues stay for dinner before you leave?" Du Qingyue asked to keep them.

Old Ha also chimed in enthusiastically, "Yeah, the dishes just came out of the pot, just a few pairs of chopsticks are all we need."

Di Junxiong shook his head, "I'll take them back first and then talk."

Just then, the doors of the police car parked at the main entrance opened, and Zhao Guo'an, Zhen Jinghan, and Lone Wolf exited the vehicle.

Clearly, Di Junxiong was here to escort them back when he unexpectedly encountered Guan Xiangyong causing trouble...or rather, courting death.

Zhao Guo'an yawned repeatedly, "I'm exhausted after half the night of tossing. Who cooked today's meal? It's all seasoning, covering the aroma of the ingredients."

"..." Old Ha.

He really wanted to take off his apron, hand over the spatula, and say, "If you can, you do it."

But since he still needed to stay in the group, he obviously couldn't offend anyone immediately, so he suppressed his discontent, raised a hand, and said, "I cooked it."

Zhao Guo'an didn't comment further on the dish, merely saying, "I'll teach you a few tricks once I recover."

"By the way, Master, someone from your side needs to come to make a statement, who do you think is suitable?" Di Junxiong asked.

Xiao Feng looked around and finally settled his gaze on Old Ha, "You go, explain things properly inside."

Old Ha's facial muscles twitched twice, feeling as if he wouldn't come back, but he nodded, promising to handle it.

...

Not long after Old Ha left, amidst half-eating, everyone saw a man and a woman appearing at the door.

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue immediately recognized the pair was also residents of the Jinyue Garden Villa District, Xu Chun and Chen Chunxia.

"It's you?!"

At the sight of Xiao Feng, Chen Chunxia's smile instantly vanished and her eyes filled with obvious resentment.

Xu Chun was also surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"I live here, where else would I be?" Xiao Feng replied, baffled.

"You..."

Chen Chunxia was about to say something but was stopped by Xu Chun beside her.

Adjusting his expression, Xu Chun looked at Du Qingyue and said, "Well, I don't know if you remember.

We told you before that we, as a couple, donated to build a church. It's officially opening this afternoon, and we hope you can come to show support."

Knowing Xu Qianyan's actions, Du Qingyue naturally wasn't pleasant, replying nonchalantly, "I don't know where the invitation went, so I won't be going."

"We were worried you'd forget the invitation, so we specially brought two more, hoping you could spare some time," Xu Chun took two invitations from his bag and handed them over with sincerity.
