"Someone, cuff him and take him away."

Li Donglin, unaware of Zhao An's concerns, called two officers behind him to arrest Ye Feng.

He had some familial ties with He Chunqing, and just last year, He Chunqing used his power to secure a shop for Li Donglin's wife in Yunfeng Mall. Thanks to He Chunqing's help, the business thrived.

Just last year alone, his wife's shop earned over a million with He Chunqing's assistance.

Therefore, He Chunqing's value to him was undeniable, and next year, He Chunqing would return to Liancheng City to serve as the general manager of Liancheng Mall.

By then, he would gain even more value from He Chunqing.

Their mutual interests dictated that even if Ye Feng was in the right, Li Donglin wouldn't let him go.

At this moment, He Chunqing wore a smug expression, his face full of a victor's smile, as if to say:

"Ye Feng, times have changed. What do you have to fight me with now?"

The classmates also looked on indifferently, waiting to see Ye Feng make a fool of himself.

People like He Chunqing were the ones everyone wanted to curry favor with, yet Ye Feng, not knowing what's good for him, not only offended He Chunqing but also beat up Fu Hai.

Everyone felt that Ye Feng deserved his fate.

Seeing the two officers approaching, Su Weiwei's face turned a bit panicked.

She was also afraid of Ye Feng being taken away.

Ye Feng patted her arm, signaling her to rest assured.

"Don't move, you can't touch him."

At this moment, Zhao An spoke up, stopping the two officers.

Li Donglin was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Deputy Director Zhao, what do you mean?"

Li Donglin originally didn't want to come with Zhao An.

But since this was Liancheng Hotel, with its significant background, he thought of bringing Zhao An along.

In case anything unusual happened, there would be someone of higher rank to take the fall.

After all, behind Liancheng Hotel was the Xie family, far beyond what a brigade leader like him could provoke.

Now seeing Zhao An stop him from arresting someone, he felt a bit reluctant, but the other party was still his superior.

Caught between his superior and his interest-related person, He Chunqing, he showed a troubled expression.

"Donglin, I know this young man. Let's put this matter aside for now."

Zhao An spoke almost in a commanding tone.

Zhao An's words surprised everyone present. No one expected that Ye Feng would have a connection with a deputy director.

Moreover, the other party was speaking on Ye Feng's behalf, showing no intention of making things difficult for him.

Especially He Chunqing, whose face turned a bit ugly. He had intended to embarrass Ye Feng today.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Zhao appeared out of nowhere.

He hurriedly pointed at Ye Feng and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, he just hit someone!"

"And he's someone who just got out of prison. Are you planning to let him continue to run rampant in society?"

In his anxiety, He Chunqing didn't notice his tone, which came off as heavy.

Sure enough, Zhao An's eyebrows knitted together after hearing this, and he sternly rebuked, "Who do you think you are to point fingers at me?"

Zhao An despised being dictated to, especially by that director who had no skills but was a professional at eating, drinking, and accepting gifts.

Li Donglin thought to himself that this was bad.

Zhao An was notorious for his bad temper in the police department, and he was stubborn, sometimes even disregarding the director.

His relationship with the director was like water and fire, largely due to his personality and temper.

Moreover, when Zhao An lost his temper, almost no one dared to provoke him.

He was a retired special forces soldier, with the prowess of a battle-hardened king of soldiers.

No one dared to provoke him lightly.

He Chunqing was rendered speechless by Zhao An's scolding, his face turning even uglier.

In fact, Ye Feng hadn't hit hard just now, and Fu Hai didn't sustain any injuries. If they wanted to take Ye Feng away, it would be procedurally correct, but also a bit forced.

Li Donglin pondered for a while, afraid that Zhao An would take his anger out on He Chunqing, and hurriedly stepped in to mediate, "Director Zhao, don't be angry. He just doesn't know any better. Since you said to let it go, then let it go."

"Mr. He, handle this matter as you see fit!"

After saying that, he directly left the room with the two officers.

In fact, Li Donglin was also very reluctant to leave, but with Zhao An holding the fort here.

Even if he was a hundred times unwilling, he didn't dare to show it.

He could only leave with the two officers.

"Captain Li, let me see you out."

Seeing this, He Chunqing hurriedly followed and also left the room.

Zhao An watched them leave and then strode over to Ye Feng, smiling slightly, "Mr. Ye, don't you recognize me?"

"Director Zhao, what brings you here?"

Zhao An had helped him out twice, leaving a good impression on Ye Feng, who then said, "Thank you for your help just now, Director Zhao."

"I just happened to come over with Li Donglin, it was nothing, just a small effort."

Zhao An didn't take the previous incident to heart; he was more curious about Ye Feng's identity.

What kind of person would have a past that warranted being classified as an S-level confidential file?

Over a decade ago, Zhao An had received orders to ensure the safety of a national treasure-level scientist.

That person's file was also highly classified, but not to the S-level.

This showed how important Ye Feng's background was to the country.

He learned from his former comrades that although he couldn't access Ye Feng's Xili Prison records, he knew that anyone classified under such a confidential file must have made extraordinary contributions to the country.

For example, Zhao An's own service record was also classified, inaccessible to the general public.

But higher-ranking officials could still access it.

Yet for someone like Ye Feng, fewer than ten people in all of Shenzhou, including the highest-ranking military officials, could view his file.

This shocked him greatly.

If Li Donglin had insisted on taking action against Ye Feng, Zhao An would have unhesitatingly intervened to eliminate Li Donglin.

Because he knew that someone like Ye Feng was definitely not a mere prisoner but an extraordinary figure.

No matter where he was, he would be under the protection of the state.

Zhao An's attitude also left the surrounding classmates astonished. After all, Ye Feng was a recently released convict.

As the saying goes, officials and criminals don't mix, so why would a deputy director be so warm to someone with a criminal record?

The plot wasn't supposed to unfold this way!

According to their previous thoughts, the people He Chunqing called should have unhesitatingly cuffed Ye Feng.

Then thrown him into the police station, locked up for ten days or half a month, and if He Chunqing maneuvered things further, he could make Ye Feng suffer inside, where no one was a good person.

But everything was beyond their expectations.

Before Ye Feng could respond to Zhao An, Zhao An continued, "Mr. Ye, your case back then was full of doubts. If I'm not mistaken, you were wronged!"

"If you need, I can help you get it re-examined and clear your name."

Zhao An spoke earnestly, not at all like he was just being polite.

Ye Feng was wrongfully imprisoned back then?

Zhao An's words left everyone around unsettled.
