Chapter 101

  Bang! A dull thud, Wen Yao Hui's powerful fist landed squarely on Lü Jia Yi's face. The latter was also extremely quick to react, swiftly counterattacking with an old punch, but it was easily dodged by the well-prepared Wen Yao Hui. Moreover, Wen Yao Hui's disdainful gaze further irritated Lü Jia Yi's nerves. Due to his family background, he had been held in high esteem since childhood and had trained a strong physique, which was his greatest pride. However, it was shattered by Wen Yao Hui, that poor kid, back then, leaving him with a deep-seated grudge until now!

  "Hey, stop fighting!" Apart from Ai Zi Qing, several people around them immediately stepped forward to intervene, even the few rich kids who were just boasting about their luxury cars earlier rushed up with anxious faces to break up the fight. If they let them continue fighting, today's banquet would be completely ruined!

  It was originally just the two of them fighting, not a big deal, but when these people came up to intervene, they instead formed a circle around them, making it seem like a huge commotion, attracting distant customers to stop and watch...

  "Stop it, or things will get out of hand!" Several young men rushed forward and separated the two. At this time, Lü Jiǎyì's face was a mess of bruises, quite amusing to see, while Wēn Yào Huī had a few cuts on the corners of his mouth and his clothes were wrinkled from the commotion, but compared to Lü Jiǎyì, Wēn Yào Huī's injuries were almost negligible.

  "Lü Jiǎyì, being a person is all about having self-awareness. If you can't even meet the basic requirements of being human... Ha!" Wēn Yào Huī wiped the blood from his lip with his thumb and raised an arrogant cold smile as he looked at Lü Jiǎyì in a fit of rage.

  "Wait for me, Wen Yao Hui! Damn it! You think you can climb high just because of your pretty face? I spit on that! Let me tell you, you're nothing but a lowlife! If you dare to fight me today, I'll make sure you won't be able to leave this..."

  A crisp crack!

  Lü Jiǎyì's shouting was cut off by a heavy slap, he disbelievingly covered his left cheek and looked at the slender woman in black dress opposite him...

  "You... you dare hit me?" Lü Jiǎyì had never been slapped by a woman in his life, and now his face was bright red, his voice trembling with rage!

  "You're not even worthy of scolding him." Ai Zi Qing narrowed her eyes and looked at Lü Jia Yi, enunciating each word clearly.

  Although Wen Yao Hui didn't have a good family background, she was still Ai Zi Qing's person and it wasn't up to some idle rich boy who spent his days eating and waiting for death to insult her at will! Especially when she heard those so-called "lowly people" and "relying on their face to climb high" and other dirty insulting words, it really made her unbearable!

  Everyone around was shocked to look at Ai Zi Qing, who dared to hit someone! And it was still Lü Jia Yi! This couldn't help but make everyone who knew Lü Jia Yi break out in a cold sweat for this bold and reckless couple.

  "You stinky girls! Do you know who I am? You dare to hit me? Alright, alright, alright! Today, not only will I scold him, but I'll also make sure you can't leave this door! You'll soon find out if I'm worthy or not!" Lü Jiayi's face was gloomy as he nodded repeatedly and spoke in a harsh tone.

  Ai Zi Qing let out a cold hum and expressionlessly put her hands behind her back, without responding.

  Those who knew Ai Zi Qing were shocked. They knew she was now angry, although they had never seen the consequences of her anger before, but the oppressive atmosphere still made everyone voluntarily shut up.

  Zhao Zijun and Wen YaoHui were also extremely shocked, standing still on the spot. Seeing Ai ZiQing so angry, they were also at a loss for what to do. Wen YaoHui even regretted his impulsiveness, thinking that if he had endured it a bit more at the time, he wouldn't have brought trouble to Ai ZiQing.

  The two of them clearly remembered how Ai Zi Qing had shot and killed two snipers back in Taiping Mountain.

  During the school art festival, Ai Zi Qing's fiancé was so overbearing. Although they weren't quite clear about Han Mu Li's identity, they knew that Ai Zi Qing looked gentle but once she got angry, her actions were never ambiguous.

  These few points are enough to prove that Ai Zi Qing is not as simple as she appears on the surface.

  Although I have great confidence in Ai Zi Qing's skills and know that she has a powerful force behind her, offending Lü Jia Yi at this time is not a good idea. Ai Zi Qing is just a girl after all, and it's clear that she is no match for him.

  So if this matter gets out of hand, the consequences will be...!

  They weren't afraid of taking responsibility, but Zhao Zijun knew that Lü Jiayu was the only son of Lü Jingci, who doted on him in every way. Today, Lü Jingci had also arrived at the scene, and if he saw his son being beaten to this state, it would probably be difficult for Ai Ziqing.

  And Ai Zi Qing's fiancé was not around at this time, let alone whether the police chief would give him face or not.

  When Principal Li was talking to Han Mu, Zhao Zijun and Wen Yaohui had already left. They only knew that Ai Ziqing had an "official boyfriend with a bad temper", but they didn't know what his identity was. Principal Li naturally kept it confidential, except for warning her niece not to provoke Ai Ziqing again, she didn't say anything else. As for the student union president Lu Qihua who was present at that time, he had been beaten until he lost his human form and only vaguely heard a few words, probably also unclear. As for how much he actually heard and whether he told Li Yingxin, no one knew.

  ……

  The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and no one dared to come forward to ease it. Wen Yao-hui and Zhao Zi-jun naturally stood by Ai Zi-qing's side, while Wang Bo-wen and the four rich boys behind him took two steps back, apparently not wanting to get involved in this dispute.

  The two men beside Lü Jiǎyì were glaring at Ai Zǐqíng and the others, while Lü Jiǎyì himself was staring at Ai Zǐqíng with his sharp eyes, a cold smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, his hand still stroking his left cheek.

  For a moment, the atmosphere was tense...

  Only Xiang Yao let out a breath of relief beside him, and since she had asked about Lü Jia Yi's identity, she indeed felt relieved.

  At first, Ai Zi Qing didn't even sell his father's account, let alone his son?

  Not bad, Lui Ka-yat's father, the Chief Superintendent of West Kowloon, was indeed Lui Tai-wai, who was invited by Wong Tung to dinner at Yim Yee King that day and slipped away after running into Police Commissioner Tang Ying-lun.

  Compared to Xiang Yu's calm face, Zhao Zijun was extremely nervous because he had already seen Lü Dawei walking towards him with his head held high! And beside Lü Dawei was his uncle, the host of today's banquet, An Weiye!

  Almost subconsciously, Zhao Zijun blocked Ai Ziqing behind him. At this point, it was no longer possible to solve the problem with just an apology. He knew that if he let Ai Ziqing apologize, it would be impossible, so he naturally wouldn't go and negotiate with Lü Jiaye again, which would only make things worse for Ai Ziqing.

  So now they can only be at a stalemate with each other... So Zhao Zijun subconsciously blocked Ai Ziqing, and Wen Yaohui also stood beside Zhao Zijun with a cold face, pursed his lips, and made up his mind that no matter what the other party did, he would take it all on himself! He absolutely cannot implicate Ai Ziqing.

  This scene made Xiang Yao, who was standing beside her, laugh even harder. She also covered her mouth and laughed out loud, but didn't make a sound.

  Li Hui, who was standing beside her, furrowed her brow. Her father was just a senior inspector, far inferior to the police chief, let alone the superintendent! She naturally knew what position the superintendent held, so she also knew that Ai Zi Qing was extremely worried after hitting Lü Jia Yi.

  Li Hui Zheng was worried, when she turned her head, she saw Xiang Yao covering her mouth and laughing, suddenly staring wide-eyed, and poked Xiang Yao! Xiang Yao hurriedly put away her smile, under Li Hui's puzzled gaze, leaned in close to Li Hui's ear and whispered something, Li Hui's eyes grew wider the more she listened, finally also silently giggling with a twisted mouth!

  Then Li Hui leaned in close to Liu Jiabao's ear, and the few of them started whispering to each other, discussing Ai Ziqing and Xiangji's affair.

  ……

  An Weiye and Lü Dawei walked over in big strides. Earlier, he had only noticed that the guests were standing still and staring at something, but then a waiter came to report that someone was fighting, An Weiye immediately became furious, but then heard that among them was the son of Lü's police officer, so he followed Lü Dawei to see what was going on.

  As they approached, the two found that Lü Jiǎoyì was covering his face with a green and red complexion, staring gloomily at several people opposite him!

  An Weiye recognized Zhao Zijun, but Lü Dawei was furious. Where did you know that he is the young master of which family? He had always doted on Lü Jia to a shameless degree, and now his only son, who was pampered in his hands, was beaten into such a state. How could it not make him, as a father, extremely angry!

  "What's going on!" Lü Dawei strode forward, pulling open his son's hands covering his face, and saw multiple scars on it. He immediately asked in a deep voice.

  Lü Jiǎyì didn't say a word, but instead gloomily stared at Wēn Yào Huī and the others.

  Lü Dawei also turned around, his face gloomy, looking at Wen Yaohui and Zhao Zijun. At this time, Wang Bowen and others retreated a few steps without leaving any marks, plus the surrounding onlookers, instantly surrounded the two groups in the middle. As for Zhao Zijun's side, except for him and Wen Yaohui, there were only four girls from dormitory 401 left. These four girls were directly ignored by Lü Dawei, who stared at Wen Yaohui and Zhao Zijun and asked: "Who did it?"

  Although it was a question, Lu Da Wei had already fixed his gaze on Wen Yao Hui. With one glance, he saw the injuries on Wen Yao Hui's face and naturally assumed that he was the one who had fought with his son.

  After all, he is the Chief Superintendent of West Kowloon, with a very strong and majestic aura, especially when he suppresses his anger with an expressionless face. Ordinary people feel tremendous pressure in front of him, and even Wen Yao Hui is no exception. After all, he is just a high school student, and it's already not easy for him to stand here with a tough face against such a figure.

  An Weiye frowned and hastily walked forward, shouting at Zhao Zijun: "Zijun, what are you doing here? Get out of the way!"

  "Uncle, Police Officer Lü, this matter was started by Young Master Lü first, I saw everything and can testify." Zhao Zijun stared at An Weiyeh, slightly furrowing his brow as he spoke.

  Lü Dawei narrowed his eyes, and An Weiyang also furrowed his brow, casting a glance at Zhao Zijun, but the latter remained motionless, showing no intention of yielding. This put An Weiyang in a difficult spot, as he couldn't afford to offend Lü, who was someone he absolutely couldn't cross, even if the other party might give him some face. After all, his son had been beaten here, and if he didn't get an explanation, it would be hard to justify. However, Zhao Zijun, although calling himself An's uncle, represented the Zhao Group behind his back, so An also couldn't afford to offend this nephew too much...

  Just then, Lü Jiayi sneered and spoke up: "You're testifying? You're in cahoots with them, of course you'd say that. Can they also testify that it was Wen YaoHui who started the trouble?" As he spoke, he looked at the two young men beside him, who naturally nodded in agreement.

  "Zi Jun, since you're the one who started this trouble as a friend, you should apologize to Mr. Lü. Step aside." An Weiye took the opportunity to speak up, hoping that neither side would be offended.

  Before Zhao Zijun could speak, Wen Yaohui spoke up: "I was the one who hit him, it has nothing to do with Zhao Zijun. If you want to do something about it, come at me!" After finishing speaking, he looked up and met Lv Dawei's gaze without any fear, causing Lv Dawei to pause for a moment before laughing in a low voice: "You're quite bold, brave and righteous, you're indeed a good material. Whose family are you from?"

  "I'm not some rich young master, we're just classmates, my family has no power or influence, what does Lieutenant Lü have to be angry about with me?" Wen YaoHui sneered coldly, he always responded to these self-serving people with a cold smile.

  Lv Dawei heard this and turned his head to take a look at the injuries on his precious son's face. He let out a cold hum from his nose: "No matter what kind of family you come from, the law doesn't tolerate emotions. Today's incident must be handled according to procedure! Little Wang, bring them all to the police station. This has nothing to do with me, just follow the rules!"

  The driver behind Lü Dawei nodded in response, then gave Lü Jiaye a glance, and prepared to take Lü Jiaye and Wen Yaohui away. Lü Dawei turned his head to say to An Weiye in a solemn tone: "Since everyone says there's no such child, let's just leave it at that today. I apologize for the trouble caused to Director An."

  The implication is also to let Zhao Zijun off the hook, to give An Weiyang a chance to save face. Lv Dawei is also someone who knows his limits and naturally wouldn't force Zhao Zijun into this matter. If it weren't for his son being beaten up so badly, he wouldn't have taken down Wen Yaohui at the banquet today.

  At this time, Lü Jiayu's left face was already swollen high, if this matter were to be settled, where would his face go?

  Zhao Zijun's face changed, and he was about to retort when An Weiyeh interrupted him: "Zijun, your Uncle Lü is being kind-hearted. Your classmate hit someone, can't just let it go? Your Uncle Lü didn't even blame you, don't be unreasonable."

  As soon as the words fell, just as the driver was about to go forward and pull Wen Yao Hui, Wen Yao Hui's arm was pulled from behind, and then Ai Zi Qing, who had been blocked by Zhao Zi Jun from behind and stood with Li Hui and others, appeared.

  Ai Zi Qing had been blocked by Zhao Zi Jun and stood with Li Hui and others, while later Lü Da Wei and An Wei Ye arrived, she was also coldly observing from the side. Until now, she expressionlessly pulled Wen Yao Hui to one side, took two steps forward, and softly spoke: "Is it that every time Officer Lü handles a case, he is so unreasonable and partial to those who are spoiled?"

  The driver saw someone coming out to make trouble, and immediately frowned, turning his head to look at Lu Jingchu, but saw Lu Jingchu staring at the girl in shock, thinking, could it be another young lady from a certain family?

  Thinking so, the driver quietly retreated to Lü Dawei's side.

  Even An Weiyang was shocked by this sudden change, and he felt a little displeased in his heart. After all, it was his daughter's birthday today, and he didn't want to make trouble either.

  Just as everyone thought Ai Zi Qing was being unreasonable, Lü Da Wei's expression changed several times before he finally spoke up: "Miss Ai means..."

  Lv Dawei remembered her surname, Ai Ziying nodded and said, "He is my friend."

  Lü Dawei's face stiffened upon hearing this. Although he had already guessed it when Ai Ziqing spoke up, now that the other party had said it out loud, he suddenly found himself in a difficult position!

  If he doesn't give her some face, it's obviously not going to work. Last time, he saw it with his own eyes, even the garrison commander and police chief gave this girl a lot of face, but just now he has already said something that can't be taken back, if he changes his words now, how is he going to save face?

  At this time, Lü Dawei was no longer thinking about how to save face for his son, but rather how he could step down and give Ai Ziqing a way out. After all, the initial anger had gradually subsided, and Lü Dawei had also calmed down. Now that Ai Ziqing had stepped forward, he naturally wouldn't continue to act impulsively due to his lingering anger.

  He knew that Ai Zi Qing, although young in age, had a powerful force backing her up, one that even he couldn't reach. Otherwise, why would the two high-ranking officials be so courteous to a girl from inland? From the start, he felt that Ai Zi Qing's words carried weight, not like those of a spoiled rich girl relying on her parents' connections. The impression she gave, whether in speech or demeanor, was more like that of an experienced adult. So Lu Da Wei didn't dare to look down on her either.

  Lü Dawei forced a stiff smile and said, "So it was all just a misunderstanding. If Miss Ai had come forward earlier, this wouldn't have escalated into such a big deal... It's all because these young people are too eager to fight." Lü Dawei thought he had already given Ai Ziqing enough face, but unexpectedly, Ai Ziqing cut him off with an icy expression...

  "Does Lieutenant Lü think that a single apology can wipe away the humiliation he inflicted on my friend? If I'm not mistaken, didn't Young Master Lü just utter the most derogatory words - 'lowly commoner'... What does that even mean? Does Young Master Lü think that just because he was born into a good family, he's superior to others?" Ai Ziying narrowed her eyes as she gazed at Lü Jia-yi, ignoring his shocked expression, and turned her attention back to Lü Da-wei.

  If Wen Yao-hui and others felt pressure standing in front of Lv Da-wei earlier, then now Lv Da-wei and Ai Zi-qing have swapped roles.

  Lü Dawei never thought that after he swallowed his pride to make things easier for the other party, they would not only show no gratitude but also step up their pressure, which was simply outrageous!

  Facing Ai Zi Qing's calm and collected face, with a tone of anger and pressing questions, Lv Da Wei really didn't know how to respond, not wanting to be too hard but also unable to bear the other party's overbearing behavior.

  Only then did Lü Dawei's expression turn serious, and he said in a stern voice: "Miss Ai, what are you talking about? When both sides are fighting, it's inevitable that some unpleasant words will be spoken. Since it was all an unintentional mistake, I think we shouldn't make too much of it."

  Although the words were tactful, the meaning was not difficult to understand. Lv Dawei was telling Ai Ziqing: Since I'm giving you face, don't pretend to be stupid, let's just get by and that's it.

  But Ai Zi Qing seemed to have not understood at all, she had always been mindful of the feelings of those around her. When Lv Jia Yi insulted Wen Yao Hui as a lowly commoner and climbed up high earlier, she clearly felt Wen Yao Hui's body stiffen, knowing that he was taking offense to these words and that they were insults he could not tolerate. That was why she had stepped in to hit Lv Jia Yi, and now, it was necessary for her to stand up for him as well.
