"Third Brother, I really can't be blamed for this. I was just eating my meal when those two foreigners carelessly bumped into me..."

Qin Fang also had a bitter smile on his face, feeling quite frustrated himself, as he always seemed to encounter troublesome situations. If it weren't for the fact that he gained some experience from these incidents, he really wouldn't bother dealing with such annoying matters.

Or rather, ever since Qin Fang obtained this mysterious and unpredictable system, his troubles had never ceased. They didn't happen daily, but encountering them every few days was inevitable.

Thus, Qin Fang had no choice but to become a trouble magnet, sitting and waiting for these issues to arise, like today's situation... which was truly unjust.

"Youngest, I've already notified Elder Chu about this matter. I believe his call is about to reach his nephew... Elder Chu is quite a character, but his nephew is rather unscrupulous. You just handle it as you see fit..."

Joking aside, there were still matters that needed to be handled. Qiao Zhenfei briefly discussed the situation with Qin Fang. Qiao Zhenfei's words were few, just a couple of sentences, and then he hung up the call.

Qin Fang was no longer the rookie he used to be. He understood the implications of Qiao Zhenfei's words; he could deal with Chen Pangzi as he wished, just don't kill the man, and try not to escalate the issue. Chu Zongyuan was part of the Qiao family and held a very important position; this incident should not affect him...

"Principal Chen, that's your brother-in-law's call, isn't it? Hurry up and answer it! What are you waiting for..."

Just as Qiao Zhenfei had said, almost at the same time Qin Fang ended the call, Chen Pangzi's phone in his pocket started ringing. When Chen Pangzi looked at it, his face completely changed color.

Qin Fang witnessed this scene and smiled cheerfully. Even though he hadn't seen the name displayed on the phone, he knew it was undoubtedly Chen Pangzi's brother-in-law, Chu Zongyuan.

Seeing the smile on Qin Fang's face, Chen Pangzi suddenly felt an urge to cry and even felt like dying at that moment...

Brother-in-law Chu Zongyuan was his strong support. Whenever he faced trouble before, just mentioning this backer usually made problems go away easily, even if there were some losses, they were minimal.

But in reality, Brother-in-law Chu Zongyuan didn't think highly of him, barely saw him, let alone called him. Even when he proactively went to his sister's to dine, his brother-in-law would eat quickly and leave, so one can imagine their relationship...

And because of this, the chances of Brother-in-law Chu Zongyuan calling him were almost zero... but today, that changed as Chu Zongyuan's call came through.

"Brother-in-law..."

Chen Pangzi's face turned the color of a purple eggplant, not choked by Qin Fang's words, but rather terrified by the call, his face almost crying.

Ultimately, he could only helplessly answer the call, trembling as he spoke.

"Chen Youde, is your brain full of shit? Who do you dare to offend? Who do you dare to arrest? With your tiny official role, when did you become a policeman, even playing with handcuffs? Are you trying to harm me and your sister..."

But the response Chen Pangzi received was not a gentle voice from his brother-in-law but a thunderous roar. Chu Zongyuan, who had risen to a considerably high position, was not behaving like a high-ranking official at all, directly cursing at Chen Pangzi... Although Chen Pangzi stepped aside, Qin Fang and the others could still faintly hear the loud curses.

Poor Chen Pangzi could only shrink his head and take the scolding, without the courage even to utter a word, looking incredibly miserable...

However, none of those present felt any sympathy for him; just a while ago, he was incredibly arrogant, all because he had a powerful backer supporting him.

But now, things were different. The first to call him out and take him to task was precisely the backer he had relied on. Now he really was a widow with a dead son—completely hopeless.

Qin Fang had also heard from Lu Jun about Chu Zongyuan's identity, the Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Public Security, soon to be promoted, which was indeed a powerful support.

No wonder Director Xing, such a low-ranking police officer, was so obsequious and wary of Chen Pangzi. He was the boss of his boss's boss...

Knowing full well that Chu Zongyuan would not provide him any support, he still didn't dare to offend someone like Chen Pangzi easily. No wonder it's said, "it's better to offend a king than a devil..."

Seeing Chen Pangzi being scolded like a grandson brought a bit of relief to Director Xing's heart. Although he was the one Chen Pangzi had called to make the arrest, he always followed procedure in his actions.

Moreover, he could tell that Qin Fang appreciated his adherence to these work protocols, so he didn't make things difficult for him...

"Qin, Young Master Qin..."

But with things having reached this point, even a politically insensitive person wouldn't be foolish enough not to understand the situation. He carefully approached Qin Fang and called out.

"This handcuff..."

Qin Fang was still wearing handcuffs, though they were unrelated to him, but if a fuss were to arise, it could still be troublesome for him.

"Don't worry! Whoever put these handcuffs on me will have to take them off..."

Qin Fang, however, waved his hand. He wasn't trying to make things difficult for Director Xing. He was just irked by Chen Pangzi's smugness from earlier, acting all high and mighty like he owned the world and Second Brother was his servant. Now he was cowering... But it's much easier to ascend the mountain than to descend.

"Young Master Qin..."

By then, Chen Pangzi had ended his phone call, having been thoroughly scolded by his brother-in-law. He cautiously approached Qin Fang with a timid smile, careful in his address. It was surprisingly gentle coming from a man who was no less than twice hundred pounds heavy.

"Stop! Principal Chen, I really can't accept such an address..."

But before Chen Pangzi could even speak, Qin Fang had interrupted him with a smile, flatly rejecting him. He really couldn't stand Chen Pangzi's tone; it was making him nauseous.

"I can handle it! I can handle it..."

A look of utter dejection crossed Chen Pangzi's face, yet he could only continue to ingratiate himself with Qin Fang, almost as if ready to bare his soul.

"Young Master Qin, about these handcuffs..."

Hoping to appease Qin Fang, Chen Pangzi naturally did not forget the main issue. Qin Fang's wrists were still clasped in the handcuffs that he himself had locked.

"Handcuffs? They're actually quite nice..."

Qin Fang simply ignored him, smiling, and even flaunted them a bit. Beside him, Su Yuan added, "They really are pretty, all shiny and silver, and best of all—they were free! Now I want a pair for myself..."

Hearing Qin Fang and Su Yuan banter back and forth, Chen Pangzi's face contorted painfully. He looked utterly mortified and completely out of options.

"Ma'am, what's so great about these handcuffs? A beauty like you should wear jade bracelets... Handcuffs are better suited for rough folks like me!"

While speaking, he fished out a bank card from his pocket cautiously and passed it to Su Yuan. Clearly, the young man had a sudden bright idea, realizing that sweet talking alone wouldn't get him freed; he had to bleed some wealth.

"There's not much in here, just enough for a somewhat decent jade bracelet... Please accept it!"

While speaking, he also sneaked a glance at Qin Fang, who, however, didn't show much reaction.

Su Yuan hadn't expected that her playful agreement with Qin Fang would actually lead to her receiving money. She was instantly dumbstruck and didn't know what to do, only able to foolishly look at Qin Fang.

Qin Fang slightly nodded to signal Su Yuan to accept it, and she then took the bank card.

"Principal Chen, that's not very fair of you. There are still two beauties here, you can't favor one over the others..." Seeing Su Yuan accepting the card, Qin Fang smiled again and teasingly added.

"All three are top-class beauties, of course, they all get one... they all get one..."

Chen Pangzi paused briefly but quickly adjusted and pulled out two more cards from his pocket, respectfully handing them to Li Yuerong and the beautiful teacher.

The two beauties were also surprised, but seeing the look Qin Fang gave them, they accepted the cards as well.

Watching three cards swiftly go out like that, Chen Pangzi's heart was bleeding. All the savings he had accumulated were now drastically reduced due to his meddling.

But he couldn't complain. If Qin Fang caused any more trouble, probably three cards wouldn't have been enough to settle the matters.

"Alright, it's about time we left..."

By now, Qin Fang wasn't inclined to stay any longer and quickly called to retreat... As for the handcuffs on his hand, no one saw him use a key or anything; he just slightly shook his hand, and the handcuffs fell off by themselves.

Such a move instantly stunned everyone present. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they might have thought the handcuffs were just a magician's prop.

"Principal Chen, before leaving let me give you a piece of advice—be anything you want, but never be a traitor!"

As he approached Chen Pangzi, Qin Fang patted his shoulder, his expression rather relaxed, seemingly joking, yet it gave Chen Pangzi an overwhelmingly uneasy feeling.

"Yes! Yes! Never a traitor! Never a traitor…"

Chen Pangzi, all he could do was nod incessantly in agreement, really not knowing what else to say. At this moment, he just wished that this troublemaker would leave as soon as possible so he could finally be free...(To be continued.
