The two hurried out onto the playground, only to see Qiu Lingshan escorting Wei Zhao into a police car. A man of Ding Binggong's standing naturally knew Qiu Lingshan as well, and he hurried forward with a smile: "Captain Song, why are you taking my student away?"
Ding Binggong was not afraid of Qiu Lingshan, but once Wei Zhao was taken away, the impact on the school would be enormous — which was why he wore such a smile. Wei Zhao was, in particular, someone Gu Pengzhan had introduced, so Ding Binggong had all the more reason to be cautious.
"Principal Ding, he is suspected of involvement in a violent brawl. We are taking him back to assist with the investigation," Qiu Lingshan said coldly.
Seeing that Qiu Lingshan gave him no face at all, Ding Binggong's expression darkened as well: "Captain Song, I am quite close with your Captain Yang. Shall I give him a call?"
"Go ahead. But Captain Yang is on a plane right now, so he probably will not be able to take your call." Qiu Lingshan pushed Wei Zhao into the police car, and the whole squad tore off with a wail of sirens.
Ding Binggong was beside himself with rage. In Songshan he was a man of status and standing; quite apart from Qiu Lingshan, he had dealt with plenty of high officials. Whose family did not have a child in school? His First Senior High in particular was a private school, outside the city's jurisdiction and answering directly to the board of directors, so people of every stripe came to Ding Binggong for favors. And yet he had never expected that this Qiu Lingshan would deny him so thoroughly.
Ding Binggong dialed Yang Huaijun's number directly, but what came from the other end was the cold tone of a switched-off phone. It seemed Qiu Lingshan had not lied to him; Yang Huaijun would only shut off his phone when he had no other choice — under ordinary circumstances, his line was open twenty-four hours a day.
Yang Huaijun had boarded a flight back to Songshan early that morning. A friend in police circles had invited him over to help crack a case, but he had never expected that barely a day after he left, a major bank robbery would break out in Songshan. He had no choice but to book a morning ticket and rush back to Songshan without a moment's pause.
Two of Brother Black Panther's underlings were hauled into the police car as well. Zhong Yongliang and the others had naturally fled long since, while Brother Black Panther was sent straight to the hospital.
"Wei Zhao, you are quite the capable one, aren't you? Took a bullet just yesterday, and today you are mixed up in an underworld shootout?" Qiu Lingshan was irritated just looking at Wei Zhao's indifferent expression. Most people, once put in a police car, would be thoroughly downcast — but this Wei Zhao alone wore a look of utter unconcern.
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes, glanced at Qiu Lingshan, then looked away again... There was no denying it: she was beautiful, especially in uniform, beautiful enough to set Wei Zhao's imagination running.
"What kind of attitude is that? I am talking to you!" Qiu Lingshan grew even angrier when she saw that Wei Zhao was actually ignoring her.
"People used to say that women with big breasts have no brains, and I never believed it. But now I do." Wei Zhao lifted his head and let his eyes sweep a few times over Qiu Lingshan's figure.
"What do you mean by that? You had better make yourself clear." Wei Zhao's gaze made Qiu Lingshan thoroughly uncomfortable. "Who are you calling big-breasted and brainless?"
"Whoever it fits knows who it is." Wei Zhao curled his lip. "Anyone with a bit of intelligence can see that those people ran into the school to make trouble, and that I was acting in lawful self-defense, bravely doing what was right. And you? You arrested me."
