I Can Turn into a Fish-Chapter 229 - : Looking for Trouble
Chapter 229: Looking for Trouble
“Kid, did you tell someone to hit my son?” The middle-aged man glared at Chu Xian, his face dark and his voice surly as he asked the question.
“What? You ran to your parents? Feng Huo?” Chu Xian ignored the middle-aged man and turned his disdainful look to Feng Huo. He glanced over to the incoming police. “Oh, I’m wrong. You didn’t only run to your dad, but also to the police. Haha, how interesting.”
“You surnamed Chu, I’m going to regret the day you were born for what you did that day.” Feng Huo glared at Chu Xian, his face twitching with emotion.
“Kid, I don’t care who you are. I just want to let you know that touching my son carries consequences.” The middle-aged man glared, his fat trembling with his anger. “You want to open your aquarium store today, hehe, I want to see if you can have your opening still.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, the policemen walked over and were joined by some people wearing the Industry and Commerce Bureau uniform.
Chu Xian looked at them all and began laughing. “What, are you here to find trouble? You want to close my store, and arrest me?”
“Don’t you have power in Hai Qing City? Then bring out that power and show me. Hehe.” Feng Huo said coldly, holding his glare.
“Eh? Is there something wrong with your brain? When did I bring out any power? Am I supposed to believe that you came out here just to let me show my abilities? Then let me ask you all, what law did I break? I want to see how your policemen are going to arrest me, and how your people in the bureau are going to shut down my store?” Chu Xian shrugged indifferently at them.
Xiao Ying stood behind Chu Xian with a furrowed frown on her face, and Duan Ke and the others were glaring furiously at Feng Huo and his father.
“Whether or not you’ve broken the law is not something we can decide. We’re just here to see how you do business, and to wish your store well. We just happen to also be investigating this matter of assault on my son with these fine gentleman from the police department.” The middle-aged man waved Feng Huo aside, signaling him to stay silent, and turned to Chu Xian.
“Your son was beaten? Eh, when was this?” Chu Xian put on an expression of surprise as he looked at the pair.
“Mister, we are responding to a report that Feng Huo was assaulted and physically injured. This matter has had severe ramifications for his work. We need you to come with us to answer some questions.”
“Hello, are you the owner of this aquarium store? We’ve gotten a report that your tanks have quality concerns, and the same thing that happened to the Primordial Aquarium tanks is troubling this store as well. We’ll have to rely on your cooperation for our investigation.
A pair of attackers stepped forward, a middle-aged police officer and a staffer from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau approached one after the other.
Chu Xian glanced at them and turned back to Feng Huo and his father. “You really are here causing trouble.”
“Officers, I want to know when I was supposed to have hit Feng Huo? And these friends from the bureau, you say that my tanks have the same quality issues as those of Primordial Aquarium? What proof do you have? You can act on one man’s words and take someone away? This lets you shut down my store? There are many people here watching. You should act with respect to your uniform.” Chu Xian looked over the group with cold eyes.
“When we arrive at the station, we will of course present you with the evidence. Right now we must ask you to accompany us. This is well within our powers.” The middle-aged man brought out a pair of handcuffs.
“We have received a report. You can rest assured, if our investigation turns up no problems, you will of course be allowed to continue your business.” The officer from the bureau replied.
“The law enforcement officers in Jing Hai City have actually reached this stage of corruption?”
Before Chu Xian could reply, Hong Chenghai stepped forward, his face deadly serious as he looked over the police officers.
“Heng. You all best cooperate quickly. Don’t look for anymore trouble, or I’ll arrest all of you. We have the power to bring all of you back to the station for out investigation. If you all are innocent, than of course we will release you.” The middle-aged policeman warned, glaring coldly.
“Hehe, little brat, you’d better cooperate with these policemen. You’ll find out whether or not you’ve broken the law once you’ve arrived at the station? If you haven’t done anything wrong, then can’t you just explain to these officers?” Feng Huo’s father laughed as he looked at Chu Xian.
“Retard, let me see if you can still be arrogant now!” Feng Huo glare fiercely and spat out arrogantly.
“Come with us!” The middle-aged man gestured for two of his officers to approach.
Chen Yue could not stand still anymore and pulled on Fa Daiyue’s arm, but her husband shook his head and gestured to Hong Chenghai.
“Wait.” Hong Chenghai faced the middle-aged policeman. “This case is not in your jurisdiction. This matter has already been investigated in Hai Qing City.”
“En?” The middle-aged policeman turned and frowned. “Who are you? Do not interrupt our investigation.”
“I am the Assistant Mayor of Hai Qing City.” Hong Chenghai brought out his mark of office and slapped it against the middle-aged man’s uniform. “Look at it carefully. This case you are talking about has already been investigated fully in Hai Qing City, and we have already confirmed that there was no assault. This fellow named Feng Huo fell while he was filming. We have a sworn statement from an eye witness. This matter was resolved weeks ago in Hai Qing City, and you all want to interfere in this matter? Who is your supervisor?”
The middle-aged man paused, and could only stare dazedly at Hong Chenghai. He looked down at Hong Chenghai’s badge of office, and his face immediately fell.
“As for your Bureau people, I don’t know if you all have too much time on your hands, and I’m not your boss and cannot tell you what to do, but let me remind you. The Paradise Aquarium store has been doing good business since the day it opened in Hai Qing City. If their products suddenly go bad when they come to this city, I think the problem is not with the store, but with you people. You all must feel too secure and think that you can step outside of your circle. Watch yourselves!”
Hong Chenghai pointed at them and scolded them.
The people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were also stunned. Although this man was not from their city, he was still a mayor. His status came from his position in another city, but these people were only small time officers, and their justification was originally already very questionable. If they wanted to continue making trouble, then they would be the ones to suffer.
“Are you still here to help make sure things run smoothly? If you want to stay here you can, but don’t interfere with the business.” Hong Chenghai snorted coldly before stepping back.
“Feng Huo, superstar, come come. Why don’t you take off your hat and sunglasses and help me advertise a little?” Chu Xian reached out and patted the young man’s shoulder. He turned to the middle-aged man. “Let me remind you, don’t spoil your son like this. It will only make him suffer.”
“Good, good.” At that moment, it was as if blood was about to burst forth from the middle-aged man’s face. “Kid, just wait. Let me see how you broadcast your movie, heng!”
“Don’t trouble yourself with this matter. We will see what happens!” Chu Xian glanced at the pair before turning away and climbing onto the stage.
“So that’s Feng Huo. Why do I feel like he’s much uglier than when he appears on TV?” Chen Yue asked Fa Daiyue as she walked over and curiously looked over Feng Huo.
“Alright, alright. Don’t say anymore.” Fa Daiyue climbed the stage helplessly with Chen Yue in his arms.
“Bah, unbelievable!” Duan Ke spat out.
Yan Wenwen and the others also swept by Feng Huo’s posse, scornful looks on their faces as they climbed the stage.
Behind his glasses and underneath his hat, Feng Huo’s face had turned incredibly embarrassed, and only his disguise covered his reddening eyes.
“Dad, are we just giving up.”
“Mr. Feng, you also saw what happened. It’s not that we don’t want to help you, but that middle-aged man has a special background. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave.” The middle-aged officer also had an uncomfortable look on his face, and he spoke a final word before turning and bringing his men away.
The staffers from the bureau also nodded to Feng Quo’s dad before hurrying away.
“No wonder he’s so arrogant. He has the Assistant Mayor of Hai Qing City on his side. Heng, let’s go. I won’t let his movie go through to the theaters.” Feng Quo’s father snorted coldly.
“Dad, we can’t just let this go. That time, he called someone to beat me for an entire five minutes. We can’t just let him go this easily.” Feng Huo cried to his father.
The middle-aged man looked at his son, his heart filled with pain as he comforted his boy. He replied in a vicious tone, “Alright, we won’t let him get away this easily. Since we can’t deal with him out in the open, we’ll just have to work in the dark. This time we definitely won’t let them start their business so smoothly.”
“En.” Feng Huo heavily nodded, turning his gloomy face to Chu Xian and the others.
