Chapter 1163: Teach Them A Good Lesson (part one)

"Sorry, Major General, but how did all this happen?" Mr. Wang, chief of the Transportation Bureau asked with respect. He already knew that it was just a typical rear-end collision the moment he set eyes on those two cars. What worried him though was that Mr. Yi was also summoned. Traffic accidents were not a part of Mr. Yi's responsibility at all. Things went even more complicated when he found out that his good-for-nothing son was there too, together with the Mayor's son. His heart missed a beat as he suddenly felt confused. Could there be something more than just an accident in here?

See those guys over there? I think you two know who their fathers are better than I do." Kevin pouted his lips to point to the two young men. A few seconds later his mouth curled into a smirk. His sarcasm was so obvious in his words.

"Yes, of course. Have they done something that offended you? If that is the case, I must apologize for all their wrongdoing," Mr. Yi answered immediately and carefully. He had cold feet when faced with Daisy before. Now that it was Kevin whom he needed to deal with, he could just hope that it wasn't obvious that he was frantic and even shaking in his shoes.

You don't have to scramble to take the fall, Mr. Yi. They are grown ups and can take responsibility for themselves. They staged an accident and tried to blackmail my wife. Worse, they have injured her in the process. Based on your professional judgment, what crimes should they be charged with?" Kevin asked the old man without even looking at him. He was casual while talking about the incident as if it was not important, making it hard for others to figure out what was in his mind.

"How dare they do these!" Mr. Yi raised his voice after hearing Kevin's words. He swiftly turned to the young guys and demanded, "What are you waiting for, you little bastards? Come here and apologize to Major General and his wife properly right now! They might forgive you if you make a sincere apology." After saying so, he turned his eyes to Leena, who was standing by Kevin. He had heard that Kevin already married but he never knew who his wife was. The lady looked familiar to him after he had a good look. He couldn't recollect where he had seen her though.

"We are terribly sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Gu! We know we were wrong. Please be assured that we will change and things like this won't happen in the future!" The guys uttered sincerely with their heads bowed down. They dared not to show any arrogance right now.

Meanwhile, Leena was at a loss for words. She stared at the guys when they bowed to her before looking back at Kevin awkwardly. She never expected for things to get as messed up like this. In fact, she didn't even know how they would mend things up.

"It's good that you can admit your mistake frankly and we accept your apology. However, as a soldier, I know it too well that one may repeat an offense if the punishment is not served right. I believe that Mr. Yi would agree with me on this since he is an experienced policeman," Kevin replied. Then he looked at the old man before him meaningfully straight in the eyes and added, "You know what to do, Mr. Yi." Curiosity was suddenly eating Kevin and he would like to know how Mr. Yi would handle the situation.

"That is for sure. How's Mrs. Gu? Is she seriously injured? I think we'd better take her to the hospital first." Mr. Yi tried to change the topic. He was a cunning old man and there was no doubt about it. He just mentioned Leena's condition to distract everyone. It was relatively easy to get his own son and the other two young men penalized. The problem was, the mayor's son was among them. He wasn't even sure if he should be touching the man. It would definitely offend the mayor if he did. It would be such a disgrace to the mayor if his son was sent to the police.

"Don't bother. We will go and get the wounds treated on our own after things here are settled." Kevin responded. Speaking of which, Kevin worried about Leena more than anyone else. It was just that he must make sure that these snooty guys paid the price for hurting her before taking her to the hospital. Otherwise, they would never learn their lesson and would keep on abusing their fathers' authority, thinking that they could just slip through the net.

"Certainly. But you see, Major General, one of them is the mayor's son..." Mr. Yi said hesitantly as he cast a glance to Kevin and then quickly looked down. He was now caught in a dilemma and started to tremble. What should he do? The effort of pleasing one without offending the other was like steering between Scylla and Charybdis.

"Aren't you the chief of Public Security Bureau? Surely you don't need my advice on how to handle this situation. All people are equal before the law and you know that. They cannot be exceptions even if their fathers hold high positions," said Kevin sternly while glaring at Mr. Yi. It was obvious that these young men's family background and their parents' social positions had turned them into arrogant spoiled brats. Their false sense of superiority had made them think that they could get away even if they broke the law. That was why they dared to commit crimes in broad daylight as they presumed that their parents could clean up their mess no matter what they had done.
