Chapter 156 Deterrence from the High Command
Chapter 156 Deterrence from the High Command
Dongfang Ruyi's imposing words left everyone stunned.
She was a person in a high position, and the aura she exuded was enough to intimidate most people.
Song Wenjie stared intently at her every move, becoming more and more mesmerized.
"Don't be intimidated by her, she's just a maid!" Tong Anjin shouted.
"You want the highest-ranking officer of the Security Bureau to come see you? Who do you think you are? As expected, Xiao Chen's people are just as ridiculous as him, ridiculously arrogant!" She rebuked him with a cold laugh while urging the Security Bureau personnel to act quickly.
Dongfang Ruyi frowned, glanced at her, and a rare hint of disgust appeared on her face.
"brush!"
With a swift movement, she appeared in front of Tong Anjin and then flicked her wrist.
Tong Anjin was sent flying by her slap, tracing a graceful arc in the air.
"Alas……"
Xiao Chen and the rest of the Xiao family all looked surprised.
The cold, icy goddess of justice has this side to her too.
When faced with a "green tea" woman, there's no wasting a single word; he just slaps her across the face.
Pretty cool...
"You...you dare hit me!" Tong Anjin covered her swollen face and got up, her expression ferocious.
She's going crazy.
She had been slapped by Xiao Chen before, and now even Xiao Chen's maid could slap her face at will...
"What right do you have to interrupt?" Dongfang Ruyi said coldly and calmly.
After saying that, she casually pulled out an ID and threw it directly in front of the First District Chief.
The district chief paused, his eyelids twitching involuntarily as he looked at the little green book.
He swallowed hard, then picked it up and opened it to read.
He had never seen or heard of the department and position listed on it, but his expression changed drastically when he saw the stamp on it.
In an instant, the division chief's hands trembled, his face filled with panic.
"Everyone... put down your guns..." he commanded, his voice trembling.
The security personnel looked strange but dared not disobey, and all put their guns away.
"What's going on?" Tong Anjin was indignant.
Why make such a big fuss, only to settle it with a small green book?
Song Wenjie also frowned, looking very puzzled.
"Chief, are you going to order a retreat?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
"Good, listen to my order, retreat!" the First Division Commander shouted solemnly.
The security personnel immediately lined up and marched out of the hotel.
"No! Why are you stopping now? Wasn't this an illegal assembly? Take them all back for investigation!" Tong Anjin said anxiously, running ahead and waving her hands to stop them.
"Get out of my way!" The division chief rushed over and shoved her aside, his eyes filled with anger.
If it weren't for the mess with the Tong family, he wouldn't be in this predicament today.
Tong Anjin stared wide-eyed at Song Wenjie, pleading for help.
"Chief of Staff, you must give me a reasonable explanation!" Song Wenjie said with a stern face.
"Who exactly is this woman that you're so afraid of her?"
He was also very curious about the background of Xiao Chen's maid.
He wanted to know more about this goddess of ice.
The division chief looked grim and quickly walked over to Song Wenjie's side.
He turned his back to Dongfang Ruyi and lowered his voice.
Have you ever seen a document stamped with the seal of the National Assembly?
One sentence instantly froze Song Wenjie's expression.
National Assembly...
That's the highest-level department in the Xia Kingdom, and every member is a pillar of the Xia Kingdom, making them the most important of the important.
This department decides on the most important and confidential matters of the Xia Kingdom and generally does not handle other matters.
Their seal was on Dongfang Ruyi's identification documents...
It's absolutely terrifying to think about!
What level of status would require certification from the National Academy?
Neither of them could guess.
No wonder the division chief was afraid.
How could he not be afraid?
Song Wenjie was shocked and found it hard to understand.
How could a woman like that call herself Xiao Chen's maid?
He absolutely refused to believe it; there must be some other reason.
The district chief, holding the green certificate, walked over shakily, bowed his head, and respectfully handed it to Dongfang Ruyi.
"Sir... please keep this safe..."
"I acknowledge my mistake regarding today's events. I will thoroughly reflect on my actions upon returning and will never repeat the same error!"
He dared not raise his head, waiting for Dongfang Ruyi to grant him a pardon.
Tong Anjin and her family were all dumbfounded.
Why...why would a chief of the Security Bureau be so respectful to Xiao Chen's maid?
I can't understand it at all.
"Do you know the consequences of abusing your power and transferring teams without authorization?" Dongfang Ruyi coldly rebuked.
The division chief was trembling with fear and speechless.
"I will report this matter truthfully, and handle it accordingly," Dongfang Ruyi continued.
The division chief turned pale instantly, terrified.
"Sir... could you..." he tried to plead for himself.
"Get out!" Dongfang Ruyi coldly spat out a single word.
The coldness that keeps people at arm's length makes them feel as if they've fallen into an ice cave.
"This humble official... takes his leave..." The First Division Chief dared not speak again, and walked out dejectedly and full of regret.
After finishing her business, Dongfang Ruyi retreated silently behind Xiao Chen, appearing ready to be at his beck and call.
Xiao Chen smiled.
He didn't ask anyone for help because the person behind him would definitely not stand idly by in this kind of situation; she would definitely step in.
"I hereby announce that the press conference shall continue," Xiao Jialin shouted.
The press conference was rescheduled, but this time Tong Anjin and the others could only watch helplessly.
"Many years ago, my teacher rescued a beggar and his family in Jiang City..." Xiao Chen began speaking into the microphone.
"Afterwards, he gave me some pointers and gave the beggar's family some capital so that they could turn their lives around. The beggar was grateful for the kindness and made a promise to my teacher that he would give his daughter to his descendant or successor as a wife in the future, and they made a marriage contract as a certificate!"
"Now that I've come to Jiang City with the marriage contract, they're denying it, vehemently denying everything, turning into ungrateful wretches. They are none other than the Tong family, who later made their fortune by relying on my teacher's capital!"
Everyone turned to look at the Tong family.
Tong Anjin, Tong Qingyun, and the others looked extremely gloomy and embarrassed.
It is conceivable that once the news spreads, the Tong family's reputation will be severely damaged, and they will even be criticized and condemned, forever branded with shame.
"I'm holding this press conference today to formally annul the engagement with the Tong family because... they're not worthy!" Xiao Chen took out the marriage certificate and displayed it in front of the camera, then tore it to shreds with a crash.
Such humiliation infuriated the Tong family, who were furious but helpless.
They have completely lost face and will become a laughing stock in Jiang City.
"Here, I also want to announce something: given the Tong family's ungrateful behavior, I will use my methods to make them return to their original state, and all the wealth and power of the Tong family will vanish like smoke!"
