"Director He, what do you mean by this?"

Cheng Baiye felt a wave of displeasure with Director He's procrastination, and his tone now carried a hint of impatience.

Could it be that his previous words weren't clear enough?

"Young Master Cheng, don't be in a rush."

"It's like this, if you want to report this to the police, you have to follow the proper procedures."

Completely unbothered by Cheng Baiye's displeasure, Director He slowly started playing Tai Chi with Cheng Baiye.

"Here's the thing, you should go to the nearest police station to file a report, but remember to bring your evidence."

"Hmm, witnesses, physical evidence, you need to prepare them all, you can't miss anything."

"When the time comes, we will thoroughly review everything. Once verified, we will undeniably ensure justice for you."

"..."

Hearing Director He's procrastination with him, Cheng Baiye almost smashed the phone in his hand.

This guy doesn't want to help him, does he really need to beat around the bush like this!

"Director He, there's no grudge between us, right?"

"Are you implying that you don't intend to give me, Cheng Baiye, any face?"

Clenching his teeth, Cheng Baiye began to threaten him.

If this was in the past, Director He would probably have caved in.

But now that his target was Xu Fan, everything was completely different.

"Oh please, Young Master Cheng, don't scare me. It's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter definitely needs to follow proper procedures, right?"

"Think about it, if you go through the back door and this gets out, it wouldn't look good, right? How can I make special exceptions for you in this way?"

"If this gets out, the reputation..."

Beep... Beep...

At this point, Cheng Baiye had completely lost his patience with Director He's procrastination.

Tired of the nonsense, he immediately hung up the phone and hurled his phone to the ground!

"Damn it, when you're down on luck, even drinking cold water can stuff up your teeth!"

Xu Fan is just an outsider, how could he have any connections with Director He? Cheng Baiye didn't even consider that possibility.

Angrily cursing, he thought about Director He's lengthy words, becoming more and more furious!

"Remember this, one day, I'll make sure you pay for this!"

...

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Director He also started to ponder.

"How did this young man clash with the Cheng family, could it be?"

Although not in the military, Director He had heard some rumors recently.

Thinking about it, it might be that incident in the military had something to do with Cheng Baiye.

After pondering for a while, he quickly called Xu Fan.

After a few rings, the phone was quickly answered.

"Hello, Xu Fan? It's Old He. Remember, we met at the hotel where you were staying last time."

"So it's like this..."

After connecting, Director He explained his identity to Xu Fan, then relayed the previous situation in detail.

"Brother Xu Fan, rest assured, I didn't disclose a word about your identity to that kid."

"Pfft."

Listening to Director He's explanation, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Baiye actually came crying to him? He's probably furious after being stalled by Director He, right?

"Alright, Director He, thank you for your help this time."

"Rest assured, this incident is on me. If the Cheng family gives you any trouble, come to me."

Given Cheng Baiye's personality, he might go after Director He for payback. He was just helping him, and Xu Fan didn't want him to suffer because of him.

"Brother Xu Fan, you don't need to be so formal."

"If you can get rid of this nuisance, Cheng Baiye, I'd really thank you."

Director He's words weren't just courteous; they were genuine.

Because of Cheng Baiye's presence, Diannan was quite disrupted.

Due to the Cheng family's influence, it wasn't easy to weaken Cheng Baiye.

At least, he couldn't do it alone.

But now that Xu Fan had gone against him, it gave Director He hope.

If Xu Fan could take care of Cheng Baiye, the public security in Diannan would improve significantly.

At that time, Xu Fan would be seen as Diannan's savior.

"Alright, I know what to do. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Not bothering with more small talk, Xu Fan hung up with a smile.

It seemed Cheng Baiye's reputation was indeed quite bad.

As he was thinking about his next move, he noticed Gongsun Qin curiously observing him.

Putting his thoughts aside, he looked at Gongsun Qin, realizing that he hadn't explained why he brought her along today.

"It's time to tell you why I brought you out today."

"Hurry up! You're killing me with suspense!"

Holding back until now, Gongsun Qin felt like she was about to explode from curiosity!

She had already guessed countless times why Xu Fan would go against Cheng Baiye.

Unable to figure out his intentions, she finally felt relieved seeing him ready to explain.

"So, it's like this..."

Xu Fan smiled and began explaining the whole story to Gongsun Qin.

Firstly, about the charity issue with Feng Huang, and then the disappearance of the Thorn Squad.

Xu Fan held nothing back and revealed everything to Gongsun Qin.

"That bastard!"

Listening to what Cheng Baiye had done, Gongsun Qin clenched her fists in anger and couldn't help but curse out loud!

Initially, she felt a bit uneasy about helping Xu Fan beat people up, but now she only regretted not knowing sooner.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have shown any mercy!

She would have just killed that guy!

"Pfft."

Seeing her regret almost written on her face, Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"What... what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Xu Fan's sudden laughter, Gongsun was bewildered.

Did she do something wrong by regretting not having killed such a guy earlier?

"Now you understand why I didn't tell you my purpose earlier today?"

"Wh... Why?"

Seeing Gongsun Qin's dumbfounded expression, Xu Fan couldn't help shaking his head.

She really was quite straightforward.

With a smirk, Xu Fan looked at Gongsun Qin and said, "If I had told you earlier, my fishing rod would have been broken by you before catching the big fish."

Judging by her righteous indignation, he could easily imagine how Cheng Baiye would have ended if she knew the truth earlier.

He might have been tortured to death by Gongsun Qin!
