Chapter 456: Chapter 456

Another police officer didn't want to waste words with Ding Fan at this point and strode towards Ye Ningqing.

But at that very moment, Ding Fan didn't indulge the other party, lifting his leg and kicking the police officer to the ground.

"Fuck, you dare to hit a cop?" another police officer pointed at Ding Fan and shouted.

However, before this police officer could finish his words, a wine bottle flew straight over, and before the officer could react, his fingers were smashed and broken.

The two policemen were completely dumbfounded by now. They had never expected that not only would someone dare to strike a policeman, but the assailant would be so ruthless.

"Kid, you're quite brazen, daring to hit a cop!" Just then, Fang Deming walked into the room, accompanied by Kong Zhonghua.

"It seems the lesson you were just given wasn't nearly enough," Ding Fan said, flexing his wrists with a glint of chill in his eyes.

To Ding Fan, Fang Deming was no more than an ant. If Fang hadn't come looking for trouble, Ding Fan wouldn't have even thought about crushing an ant beneath his boot.

"You'd best not be too arrogant…" At that moment, Kong Zhonghua, standing beside Fang Deming, stepped forward. "Dancheng is a place that upholds the rule of law. You attacked a police officer and disrupted public order. The law will absolutely not let a person like you off the hook…"

As Kong Zhonghua droned on with his officialese, Ding Fan had already had enough and casually grabbed a plate, throwing it straight at him.

The plate smacked right into Kong Zhonghua's face. Kong was sent stumbling backward.

"Brother Fan…" Mu Qiangsheng saw Ding Fan even hitting Kong Zhonghua and wanted to step up and say something on his behalf.

Others might not recognize Kong Zhonghua, but Mu Qiangsheng did. Kong was quite scheming and could bite back even when he was in the wrong. Back then, Kong had been Mu Qiangsheng's direct superior.

Mu's recent suspension had a lot to do with Kong Zhonghua.

"Mu Qiangsheng, you actually conspire with outsiders to beat up your superiors to vent personal grievances! I'm going to sue you! I will see that you join your father in rotting away in jail," Kong Zhonghua cried out, completely oblivious to his impending doom.

Ding Fan had no original intention of dealing harshly with Kong Zhonghua, but seeing him unrepentant, Ding Fan couldn't help feeling irritated.

Conspiring with outsiders to beat up superiors?!

Ding Fan and Mu Qiangsheng were dining in peace when Kong Zhonghua came looking for trouble, yet now he was framing Mu for colluding with outsiders to assault his superior?!

"Then I'll let you see what 'beating up' really is!" Ding Fan picked up another plate, exerted a bit of force in his hand, and hurled it right out.

Bang! The plate hit Mu solidly on the bridge of his nose.

In an instant, the plate shattered into pieces, and looking at Kong Zhonghua, with his nose burst open and his face swollen, blood, snot, tears, and the soup from the plate...

All these things smeared Kong Zhonghua's face, creating a pitiful mess.

Kong Zhonghua fell to the ground on his backside…

"Murder… Someone come quick… There's been a murder!" Kong Zhonghua sat on the ground, flailing his legs, looking somewhat like an elder engaging in a scam.

Having dealt with Kong Zhonghua, Ding Fan's gaze turned sharply toward Fang Deming.

Fang Deming really hadn't expected Ding Fan to be so impervious.

To think he'd dare hit a police officer, and even take care of a district chief! Facing Ding Fan's gaze, Fang felt a chill run down his spine. Content orıginally comes from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Sister Rui, Sister Rui! Come out quickly…" Fang Deming called out to the outside of the private room, incredibly cowardly.

Ding Fan was momentarily stunned. In Dancheng, the only person who dared to call herself Sister Rui was probably Xu Rui! Could it really be that young upstart?

Following Fang Deming's call, a woman dressed in a leather outfit and sunglasses, exuding a cool and dashing aura, walked into the room from the outside.

As this cool woman walked in, Ding Fan recognized her at once. Who else could it be but Xu Rui?

"You ****, let me tell you, this is Sister Rui. Don't act tough… Daring to show off in front of Sister Rui in Dancheng means courting death!"

As soon as Xu Rui arrived, Fang Deming didn't understand the situation and stood in front of her, brazenly berating Ding Fan.

"Brother Fan… when you returned to Dancheng, why didn't you tell me?" While Fang was still busy strutting with borrowed authority, Xu Rui smiled at Ding Fan and spoke.

Fang Deming looked at Xu Rui, puzzled.

Fang Deming had hoped that Xu Rui would stand up for him and give Ding Fan a good lesson, but instead of persecuting Ding Fan, Xu addressed him affectionately as Brother Fan.

Who is Xu Rui? She's none other than the only daughter of the Deputy Mayor of Dancheng, Xu Guanjie. In the elite circles of Dancheng, there aren't many who dare to disrespect Xu Rui.

Yet, this impressive Xu Rui was clearly calling Ding Fan "Brother Fan"?!

Ask around in Dancheng, how many people could be called brother by Xu Rui, and even if she did call someone brother, how many would dare to respond!

"Just got off the plane..." As Fang Deming was lost in wild thoughts, Ding Fan smiled at Xu Rui and spoke.

The last time he left Dancheng, Ding Fan had taken Xu Rui to the suburbs, where the two of them huddled together in a car and spent the night.

At that time, Xu Rui was very down because the Ye Family had proposed a marriage to Xu Guanjie.

At the height of its power and listed among the Four Great Families, the Xu Family indeed had no way to reject this marriage. To offend the Four Great Families would spell the end for the Xu Family. So Xu Rui agreed to marry Ye Chenliang.

But things changed, the Ye Family underwent a gigantic upheaval, their patriarch Ye Qingyun was executed, and the Ye Family fell from grace.

The downfall of the Ye Family meant they no longer could broach the subject of marriage, and Xu Rui managed to escape an unwanted fate.

Now, reunited with Xu Rui, neither of them knew if it was the memory of spending a night together outside the city that was brought up, or if it was something else, but smiles were on both of their faces.

The two policemen who had been knocked over by Ding Fan, along with the earlier Kong Zhonghua, whom Ding Fan had beaten to a pulp, all stood there completely dumbfounded.

This Xu Rui was the tough character Fang Deming had called in for help, yet this tough character was calling Ding Fan "Brother Fan," which meant Brother Fan was an even more formidable presence than her.

"Which of you has pissed off Young Master Ding?" Xu Rui now looked around sharply, her gaze suddenly turning fierce.

Everyone who heard Xu Rui's words felt a chill run down their spines.

Who was Xu Rui after all, a very tough character indeed. Not someone they could afford to provoke. If Xu Rui went crazy, the only thing these people would get was trouble.

"Sister Rui, I... I didn't know this was Brother Fan..." Fang Deming quickly realized what was happening. He bowed and cringed, presenting himself as a true sycophant, before making his way to Ding Fan. Then he reached out his hand.

"Brother Fan, it was all my fault earlier. You're a generous person, please don't take it to heart."

Ding Fan completely ignored the hand extended towards him. This kind of fair-weather friend disgusted him; why would he shake hands with such a person?

Ding Fan's refusal left Fang Deming hanging.

After a brief flash of embarrassment on Fang Deming's face, he quickly approached Kong Zhonghua, who was slumped on the ground.

Kong Zhonghua was stunned, not expecting Fang Deming to come at him.

Before Kong Zhonghua could understand Fang Deming's intentions, Fang Deming lashed out with his foot, his kick landing squarely on Kong Zhonghua's face.

Bang... Kong Zhonghua was sent sprawling to the ground by Fang Deming.

"Ah..." Kong Zhonghua let out a series of agonized cries.

"Fuck! Screwing up when you should be using your eyes, daring to provoke Young Master Ding... Bastard! You dare to bully Young Master Mu of the Mu Family... Bastard!" Fang Deming cursed while continuing to kick Kong Zhonghua repeatedly.

Fang Deming was clearly trying to shift the blame and divert attention. In just a few words, he even tried to suck up to Mu Qiangsheng, who was nearby.

Fang Deming certainly couldn't underestimate Mu Qiangsheng now.

If Mu Qiangsheng didn't have powerful connections, how could Ding Fan have come forward to defend him? Now, Fang Deming wouldn't dare to provoke Mu Qiangsheng any further.

Kong Zhonghua was nearly out of breath from the beating Fang Deming had given him.

But even so, Kong Zhonghua didn't say a word.

Having been in the officialdom for so long and attained the position of section chief, Kong Zhonghua had his own ways of managing in the bureaucratic world.

When trouble arises, there's always someone who will be made the scapegoat. Under the current circumstances, Fang Deming had offended someone way above his pay grade, and thus, Kong Zhonghua became the one to take the fall for him.

At that moment, Kong Zhonghua felt a bitter resentment. He had come out to help Fang Deming show off, but who knew it would end ? He ended up being the one to carry the can for Fang Deming's mess.

Watching Fang Deming beat up Kong Zhonghua, the two policemen nearby had long since been scared stiff.

These two had been drinking with Kong Zhonghua earlier and only came out to help when Kong Zhonghua said there was trouble.

Back then, Kong Zhonghua had said after they took the beautiful woman in the private room away, he would arrange a special treat for them.

Now, they had no thoughts of a special treat, seeing the situation they were in, being spared a beating was already good enough...

"All of you, get out... don't disturb Brother Fan's meal!" Xu Rui ordered Fang Deming.

As if he'd been given amnesty, Fang Deming quickly nodded and bowed to Ding Fan before he left the private room.

The other two policemen got up, dragged Kong Zhonghua, who had been beaten like a dead dog, out with them...
