100: Chapter 99: Overly Kind Mothers Often Lead to Children’s Failings 100: Chapter 99: Overly Kind Mothers Often Lead to Children’s Failings “What do you mean by that?” Wang Dong said somewhat blankly.
“What do I mean?
It’s exactly as it sounds, haha, as a police superintendent, you should know what a crime it is to attack national security personnel, right?”
“Gulp.” Wang Dong swallowed his saliva, for he knew all too well what the concept of national security personnel entailed.
The lower echelons of national security personnel were the police, tasked with maintaining social order, while the intermediate echelons were the military, in charge of guarding the territory.
But they all shared one common trait: they served the highest echelons unconditionally, the National Security Bureau.
This organization was said to encompass everything.
Any individual from there held a high and mighty presence wherever they went, not because of their own strength, but due to their right to kill with impunity, a right that, if it were ancient times, would be akin to holding the emperor’s sword, which could behead corrupt ministers and incompetent officials alike.
In modern times, their powers were even greater than in the past, for with a shred of evidence in hand, they could kill you and it would be seen as serving the people’s interests.
Coupled with your political enemies propelling the incident to the forefront, your death would ultimately be worthless.
Wang Dong felt that the entire demeanor of the young man before him had changed, becoming somewhat inscrutable, and his previously harmless face now wore a mocking smile.
“If I dare to shoot you once, I dare to shoot you a second time,” the young man lifted his right hand again, and with an incredibly dashing posture, he fired a second shot at Song Yun.
If before he seemed clumsy, now he forced Song Yun to look at him differently.
“Put the gun down, you beast!
Do you want to see our entire family dead before you stop?” Wang Dong, frantic with rage, rushed forward and slapped his son.
The young man was taken aback for a moment, and without thinking, fired another shot.
One bullet lodged in Song Yun’s shoulder blade, while the other hit the wall.
Seeing the blood spurting from Song Yun’s shoulder, Wang Dong grimly kicked the young man several times, then rushed over to Song Yun and exclaimed, “Nephew Song, hurry to the hospital and get checked out.
This damned fool has really gone too far.
I’ll make sure to properly discipline him.”
“That’s it?” Song Yun sneered.
“You shoot me and that’s the end of it?
Don’t you think I’m at a loss here?”
After saying this, Song Yun pulled out a Desert Eagle from his chest and pointed it at the young man writhing in pain on the ground, saying, “Now, I can settle you on the spot for the crime of attacking a senior official of national security.”
“Ah!
Nian, why are you lying on the ground?” The door was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman rushed to the young man on the ground.
Following her, Li Shishi came in and, seeing Song Yun’s clothes stained with blood, shouted, “Song Yun, what’s happened to you?
Are you alright?
Why are you bleeding?”
“This kid shot me three times.
One bullet hit my shoulder blade,” Song Yun said with a grim and fluctuating expression.
“Now it’s my turn to settle the score.”
“Impossible.
My Nian is such a good child; how could he shoot someone?
Old Wang, you were here a moment ago, you must know Nian didn’t shoot anyone, right?
Speak up, please,” the woman pled, clutching Wang Dong’s arm and screaming.
“Indeed, this unfilial son did shoot and injure Nephew Song,” Wang Dong said with a wry smile.
“I may not know the reason behind it, but I did see the outcome.”
“Don’t call me nephew.
I don’t deserve it, neither do you.
I will handle this matter officially and leave it to the higher authorities,” Song Yun said coldly.
Just then, the young man opened his eyes, threw himself into his mother’s arms, and cried, “Mom, I’m in so much pain.
It was all because of that bastard picking on me.
You have to believe me.”
“Uncle Wang, I will tell my grandfather about this incident,” Li Shishi said icily.
“You better prepare yourself for my grandfather’s inquiry.
Oh, and there’s also the Liu Family from Tian Nan, Mr.
Liu has quite a fiery temper and might do something regrettable.”
“Shishi, this is all a misunderstanding.
Maybe we shouldn’t tell Mr.
Liu just yet,” Wang Dong pleaded, his face contorted with worry.
If Mr.
Liu got wind of the incident, his standing would surely decrease.
Though Mr.
Liu had retired years ago, his influence was still substantial.
The consequences of his wrath were unimaginable, and according to Li Shishi…
The Liu Family from Tian Nan also had ties with Song Yun?
“Misunderstanding?
Song Yun stands here covered in blood, and it’s a ‘misunderstanding’?” Li Shishi shrieked.
“This matter must be dealt with officially.”
“Shishi, you and Nian have grown up together, you don’t trust him?
Do you really prefer to believe this outsider over Nian?” the woman said loudly.
“It must’ve been this man who provoked Nian first.
It must be.”
“Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Xiao Nian turned out the way he is today partly because of you and partly because of me.
If he dares to use a gun to injure someone today, tomorrow he might rob a bank,” Wang Dong gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap the young man’s face.
He didn’t hit the young man but instead, the woman shielded him with her body.
The slap seemed forceful enough to make the woman’s hair disheveled, and her nose bled.
“If you’re going to hit someone, start by killing me first.
My poor Xiao Nian,” the woman wailed, making a scene until Wang Dong, out of frustration, did not say another word.
Seeing that Wang Dong had fallen silent, the woman turned to Li Shishi and begged, “Shishi, you can’t let your friend harm Nian.
He’s just a child.”
“A child?
Auntie, do you not realize how old Wang Nian is?
If I’m not mistaken, he’s twenty-three, isn’t he?
At that age, he’s still a child?” Li Shishi scoffed.
“If you’ve committed a crime, you must be punished.
There’s no room for negotiation.”
“But you grew up together, childhood sweethearts.
Shouldn’t there be some compassion over the law?
Just let Xiao Nian go this once.
He’s a kind-hearted kid, we’ll take responsibility for this incident,” the woman pleaded through tears.
“Haha, Auntie, you seem to be unaware of what Wang Nian has been up to these years.
It’s bad enough that he’s been running around with a bad crowd, eating and drinking recklessly, but he’s even forced himself on underage girls.
Do you still think he’s the same Xiao Nian from childhood?” Li Shishi laughed angrily.
“Enough, enough, it’s not that serious,” Song Yun interjected, tossing his National Security Bureau special agent ID from his pocket and speaking coldly, “Here’s the ID.
I’m a good person but also a bad one.
If someone respects me, I’ll respect them even more, but if someone seeks to harm me, I’ll nip the threat in the bud.
If you don’t believe I’m with the National Security Bureau, go ahead and check, but I’ll leave you with this: nothing about today’s incident is over.
I originally planned to use my ID to strengthen my position, but who knew it would turn into such a farce.”
“Remember, do not even think of challenging the will of the nation, no matter who you are, for you will die,” Song Yun said, his gaze cold as he looked at everyone present.
