Special District 9 Chapter 99: The Imposing Young Master of the Lin Family

When Xing Zihao heard the gunshots, he didn’t fly into a panic right away. This was because he thought that the other party had gotten the wrong people. However, when Lin Xiao and Lin Nianlei appeared before him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

He froze up for ten seconds before grabbing his phone in the fastest time possible, and with trembling hands, he dialed a number.

“Hello?”

“Mr Peter, there’s something urgent I need your help on. I’m surrounded by over forty soldiers at Great Era Road right now. I’m not sure what their background is, but it’s likely that they’ll take me away with them. Help me look into the related departments to pull some connections…” Words poured out of Xing Zihao’s mouth like a machine gun.

Peter was about to head to sleep, and Xing Zihao simply talked too quickly. This left him a little confused as to what was going on, “Good lord, what are you talking about? You want me to investigate the identity of a couple of anonymous soldiers just like that? Do you take me for a god or something?”

Sweat poured down Xing Zihao’s head as he glanced at the opposite street. He immediately reported the vehicle license plate number to Peter.

Guangdong!

It was at this point that the soldiers, having surrounded Xing Zihao’s group, had marched onto him and forcefully pulled the door of the van open.

Standing outside the van, Lin Xiao dragged out the young man who had knocked him in the crotch with his knee earlier and asked impassively, “Where’s your gun?”

The young man could do nothing but tremble in this situation. He had never encountered anything as huge as this in his life.

“I’m asking you a question. Where’s your gun?!” Lin Xiao roared with the imposing airs of a military man.

Taken aback, the young man jolted back as he instinctively reached for his back to pull out his gun.

Lin Xiao immediately took a step back as he pointed at the young man and ordered, “Shoot him.”

Bang bang!

The ‘companion’ from before fired a bullet without any hesitation, and the young man’s kneecap immediately cracked apart. Blood spurted from it as he fell to the ground, howling in agony.

“You shitheads, get off the van right now!” one of the soldiers barked an order.

At the same time, the fifty other soldiers also cocked their guns as they aimed their guns into the van.

With a pale face, Xing Zihao bucked up his courage and got down the van. He looked at Lin Xiao and asked, “Which department are you from?”

“Do you know who are the ones who give you the authority to dabble in medicine?” Lin Xiao asked coldly.

Xing Zihao was a little taken aback by that question. He didn’t expect the other party to have already found out his identity.

Lin Xiao stood in front of Xing Zihao with his body completely upright. With a cold voice, he continued speaking, “The rights to produce and sell medicine are approved by the Special District, but do you realize that it’s people like me who created this land with our own flesh and blood? Acting like a bigshot before me, know your place!”

Xing Zihao clenched his fists tightly, but he didn’t dare to squeak out a word.

Lin Xiao grabbed his overcoat and shoved it into Xing Zihao’s face, asking, “Don’t you have a good eye for things? Do you know what these clothes are?”

Xing Zihao blinked his eyes blankly. He really had no idea what was so special about this overcoat.

Lin Xiao grabbed his gun as he howled with a darkened face, “I’ll tell you, this overcoat is now known as the Commander’s Winter Uniform, but in the past, it’s known as the General Coat! With eyes as blind as yours, you still dare to go barking all around Fengbei?! You even dared to hit my little sister. Even if I blow your head off right now, the Police Headquarters wouldn’t dare to ask me for an explanation!”

Lin Xiao raised his gun and smashed it down on Xing Zihao’s head with forceful movements.

Bam!

Bam!

Two dull thuds sounded in the air. Blood trickled down Xing Zihao’s head before he crumbled to the ground. His body twitched a little, and he fainted over.

“Beat him.”

Soldiers only listened to the words of their superiors. It didn’t matter whether the other party was some wealthy businessman or the scion of a business conglomerate.

Hulala!

The soldiers immediately dashed forward and viciously pummeled Xing Zihao.

By the side of the van, Qin Yu and the others who had just gotten down stared at Lin Xiao with shocked eyes, not knowing what to say at all.

Old Cat blinked his eyes blankly as his eyes slowly shifted over to Lin Nianlei. He couldn’t help but remark, “… Hai. I feel like my hot-bloodedness has been completely chilled over. We don’t live in the same world at all.”

After Lin Xiao finally vented his rage, he took his little sister up into the car. All of those present were taken away by the soldiers to the nearest barracks.

…

The barracks had no CCTV at all. The detainment area only had a few sealed chambers that were used for punishment purposes.

Qin Yu and the others were locked in individual rooms, and they were left to be. They didn’t know how deep the waters ran here, so they didn’t dare to ask too much.

The night passed without any words. The following afternoon, as Old Ma paced anxiously around the room, someone outside shouted, “Take them out and bring them over to the office.”

“Yes, sir!” the guard on watch replied sharply.

Ten minutes later, Old Cat, Old Ma, and the others were kept outside the office, and Qin Yu was the only one who was brought in.

Lin Xiao was seated on a chair behind the office table. He lifted his head to look at Qin Yu before gesturing to the chair, “Sit.”

Qin Yu walked over and sat opposite Lin Xiao.

“Is your thigh still alright?” Lin Xiao asked.

“It’s fine. That man held the dagger’s blade before stabbing it in, so the injury isn’t very deep,” Qin Yu replied.

Lin Xiao nodded before taking out a wad of money from his drawer. He tossed it on the table and said, “I don’t earn a lot in my line of work. This is my advance payment for the next three months I requested, slightly less than 10,000 dollars. Take it.”

Qin Yu was a little taken aback. “What do you mean by this?”

“I’d like to thank you for saving my younger sister at Songjiang,” Lin Xiao got straight to the point. “However, empty words of gratitude means nothing these days. Money weighs much heavier. There’s no need to stand on ceremony, this is a token of my appreciation. I don’t mean anything else by this.”

Qin Yu looked at Lin Xiao intently, not taking the money or saying anything.

Lin Xiao put down the cup as he assessed Qin Yu contemplatively. With frank words, he said, “There’s also a request I need to ask of you. From today onward, I hope that you can stay away from Leilei. As for the reason behind this request, I believe that you should understand even I don’t say a thing.”

Qin Yu thought for a moment before pushing the money back, saying, “There’s no need for the money. I did save Nianlei once, but she has also helped back on several occasions. As for what you have said, I understand.”

“That’s good,” Lin Xiao replied with a nod.

“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave then.”

“I won’t send you out,” Lin Xiao said with a wave of his hand.

Qin Yu stood up and walked out of the office.

Even though Lin Xiao ended up standing on the same front as them yesterday due to a series of coincidences, solving the crisis they faced, it was also apparent that he carried no goodwill for Qin Yu and the others either.

From Lin Xiao’s point of view, Qin Yu was a very dangerous man to associate themselves with. Furthermore, Qin Yu and the others had lied about their identities to Lin Xiao yesterday, and this likely left him with the impression that they were making use of Lin Nianlei.

After Qin Yu left the office, he took a look at the sign plastered on the wall beside the door that read ‘Inspector’s Office’. He mumbled under his breath, “What a young military officer!”

…

On the streets.

The bruises of Xing Zihao’s face had yet to recede, and there were bloodstains on his face that hadn’t been wiped. With a vicious look on his face, he cursed, “I won’t be able to live with it if I don’t crush those dogs to the ground!”

Xing Zihao’s several minutes of rampage yesterday caused Prosperous Dragon Pharmaceuticals to pull a lot of connections in order to settle the matter. The poor Peter had to run to several departments in the middle of the night before Xing Zihao was finally released.
