50: Chapter 50 Cao Yong Protects the Site

Tianxing Road Police Station.

A black Toyota Crown sedan sped into the courtyard of the Police Station, its tires screeching against the pavement.

The car door flew open, and Cao Yong jumped out in a rush. He didn't even have time to close the door properly before sprinting into the lobby of the Police Station, the sharp tapping of his leather shoes echoing on the floor, causing the on-duty staff to look over.

"Where is Young Master Li?"

Cao Yong grabbed a duty auxiliary police officer by the collar, his voice filled with obvious anxiety and anger.

The auxiliary police officer was startled by this sudden outburst and stammered, pointing toward the end of the hallway: "He... he's in the interrogation room..."

Cao Yong released him and strode toward the interrogation room. While still over a dozen meters away, he couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs: "Young Master Li, I'm here! I want to see which blind fool dares to stir up trouble with someone they shouldn't!"

His voice echoed through the corridor, causing several officers to poke their heads out to look.

To avoid exposing Li Dakang's true identity, Cao Yong called him "Young Master Li" whenever outsiders were present—a title that showed respect without revealing his actual background.

The atmosphere inside the interrogation room was somewhat tense. Li Dakang sat calmly in his chair, while Young Master Lu stood to the side with a smug, triumphant smile on his face.

Hearing Cao Yong's shout, Director Ma Baoguo, who was sitting at the table, frowned slightly and fixed his gaze on the door.

Director Yang, who was standing to the side, was just about to get up to rebuke the intruder when Cao Yong burst through the door like a whirlwind. The door slammed against the wall with a "bang," shaking dust from the ceiling.

Director Ma Baoguo looked up, immediately broke into a smile, and hurried forward to greet him: "President Cao, what brings you here?"

His tone was clearly obsequious.

It turned out that after graduating from university, Cao Yong had used the connections of his father, Vice Governor Cao Jianhui, to start a company. The business had thrived, so everyone who knew him called him "President Cao."

As the only son of Vice Governor Cao Jianhui, Director Ma Baoguo naturally knew Cao Yong and had often tried to curry favor with him.

However, Cao Yong didn't even glance at Director Ma Baoguo, walking straight to Li Dakang with a look of concern: "Young Master Li, are you alright?"

His voice was filled with obvious worry.

Li Dakang shook his head slightly, a meaningful smile curling the corners of his mouth: "I'm fine for now, but... it might be hard to say in a little while, right, Young Master Lu?"

As he spoke, he cast a casual glance toward Young Master Lu.

Cao Yong understood immediately. He followed his gaze and finally noticed Young Master Lu standing in the corner.

There weren't many prominent second-generation officials in Jiang Province. As the son of a Vice Governor and the son of the Mayor of Mingzhou, Cao Yong and Young Master Lu naturally knew each other.

However, since they weren't in the same social circle, Cao Yong and Young Master Lu didn't usually have much interaction.

"I was wondering who was so blind; turns out it's you, Little Donkey!"

Cao Yong deliberately drew out his tone, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

This Young Master Lu was a bit unique; his ears were slightly longer than average, and since his surname happened to be Lu, the other scions in Jiang Province who didn't get along with him had given him the mocking nickname "Little Donkey."

Young Master Lu detested this nickname; whenever anyone mentioned it to his face, he would surely flip out or even throw a tantrum on the spot.

Under normal circumstances, Cao Yong would never expose Young Master Lu's shortcoming in public. After all, Young Master Lu's father was the Mayor of Mingzhou, and his status was not much different from that of his own father, the Vice Governor.

In terms of real power, it might even be slightly greater.

But now that Young Master Lu dared to offend Li Dakang, he was undoubtedly making things difficult for him, so there was naturally no need to save face for the other party.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Yong finished speaking, Young Master Lu's face turned livid, the veins on his forehead bulged, and rage surged to his head. He glared with wide eyes and cursed: "Cao Yong, are you f*cking tired of living?!"

He then lunged aggressively toward Cao Yong with clenched fists, looking as if he were about to start a fight right then and there.

Director Yang, standing to the side, was quick-witted. He stepped forward in a flash, firmly restraining him by wrapping his arms tightly around Young Master Lu's waist, and whispered: "Young Master Lu, calm down! This is a Police Station!"

"Cao Yong, you've got guts!"

After being restrained, Young Master Lu gritted his teeth and said: "I was wondering why this kid had so much confidence; turns out he knows you."

He sneered: "Just a connection to a Vice Governor? I, Lu Bin, don't even care about that!"

Despite his anger, the tense strings in Young Master Lu's heart relaxed.

He had been worried that Li Dakang had a massive background, but now he realized it was just Cao Yong backing him.

He wasn't afraid of a mere connection to a Vice Governor. After all, his own old man was the Mayor of Mingzhou, and in terms of status, he wasn't much worse off than Cao Yong's father, Vice Governor Cao Jianhui, who was not a member of the Standing Committee.

Thinking of this, Young Master Lu immediately felt confident again.

"Cao Yong, today, let alone you, even if your father, Vice Governor Cao, came here himself, don't even think about taking this kid away!"

Young Master Lu shouted arrogantly, his voice echoing in the interrogation room.

Just then, a deep, resonant voice came from outside the door: "Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see who has such big talk, daring to say that even if I came, I couldn't take someone away!"

This voice exploded like a thunderclap, causing everyone to instinctively turn their heads toward the door.
