Chapter 1136: Picking a Side

In the current situation, the worst attitude was to be ambiguous. Indeed, staying as a spectator, he would not offend anyone if he did extend any help to both sides. However, afterward, neither of the two factions would put you in their eyes.

Therefore, Locklaring decided to pick a side. Although he was under Mark Vader, his other identity was also the underling of Patriarch Old Buffon!

Weighing the pros and cons and difference in the size of the power between the two groups, it was obvious that the forces of the Patriarch, Old Buffon, overcame Maligeben and Savin Geese with an utterly overwhelming advantage.

Although the fathers of the two were the mayor of the city and the lieutenant governor, respectively, they dimmed in comparison to Old Buffon. According to the gossip, the presidential election was inseparable from the support of Old Buffon, let alone a lieutenant governor!

So, Locklaring immediately realized that his picking Old Buffon’s side might be an excellent opportunity, a chance to let him soar to the sky!

Now, Maligeben and Savin Geese had angered the guests of Patriarch Old Buffon. From the current attitude of Old Buffon, it was apparent that Old Buffon had no intention to stop Yang Ming from beating up the people badly!

Who was Old Buffon? Since Old Buffon acquiesced to this incident, it was enough to prove that Old Buffon had enough power to settle this! Even Old Buffon didn’t put the power behind the two people in his eyes!

If Mark Vader was toppled, who was the biggest beneficiary? Obviously, not the Patriarch, Old Buffon; it was very easy for him to get rid of that position. Moreover, the Patriarch, Old Buffon, would not even bat an eye on this position.

In this city, there were only two popular candidates for the mayor’s seat; one was Mark Vader, and the other was him, Locklaring! Although Mark Vader wanted to hire Locklaring as deputy mayor after taking office, Locklaring refused. Instead of being a deputy mayor, it was better to be a member of the House.

However, if Mark Vader collapsed, the mayor’s seat would be vacant, so the possibility of his promotion was high. Thinking of this, Locklaring was excited.

When Yang Ming saw that Wang Xiaoyan kicked Savin Geese in the crotch, his anger was appeased suddenly, but it was merely as such. Yang Ming did not intend to be merciful to Savin Geese!

Yang Ming had already seen from Shu Ya’s symptoms that she should be under the influence of a drug like a “sedative.” From Shu Ya’s previous “confusing” and “sleepy” symptoms, this was not the case of an “aphrodisiac.” It would not cause any harm to the body as long as she woke up from sleep, and she would be fine.

Therefore, Yang Ming was not very worried about Shu Ya’s condition. Only then did he have the leisure to teach these two scumbags a lesson. However, regardless of Shu Ya’s situation, the two guys dared to drug Shu Ya with ill intention. Yang Ming could not easily let go of the two.

Maligeben was already out of breath. Savin Geese was just kicked! Yang Ming put his foot on Savin Geese’s head and kicked him directly to the floor. “What did you give to Shu Ya?”

Although Yang Ming probably determined that Shu Ya was not a big problem, it was still better for him to confirm. In case there were any harmful substances inside, Yang Ming would regret it for life.

“No… nothing…” Savin Geese witnessed Maligeben’s pretext, and he didn’t dare to be pretentious in front of Yang Ming. Yang Ming didn’t care about Mayor Mark Vader and probably wouldn’t care about his father as lieutenant governor, so Savin Geese knew better than to suffer the shortcomings before his eyes and quickly whispered, “They’re just ordinary sedatives…”

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Savin Geese, “Really just ordinary sedatives?”

“It’s true… I don’t dare to lie to you…” Savin Geese just hoped that the police could hurry to rescue him at this moment, or God knows how the Oriental man would deal with him!

“Don’t move! The people inside, you have been surrounded,” Suddenly, a few strong lights came on in the underground parking lot. A team of heavily armed police rushed in. The head of the team held a microphone; everyone else held a gun and waited.

“Please raise your hands and let go of the weapon, or we won’t be courteous!” shouted the leader.

” Ah !” Savin Geese seemed to see his savior and shouted, “Chief Norton, it’s you! Come and save me. I am Savin Geese!”

Bureau Chief Norton received a phone call saying that the mayor’s son, Maligeben, was attacked by thugs. He did not dare to neglect and immediately led his men to rush over, but he did not expect that the lieutenant governor’s son, Savin Geese, was attacked as well! This gave Norton a headache. If this matter were not settled well, it would lead to his own resignation!

Thinking that the thug’s target was actually the mayor’s son, Maligeben, and the lieutenant governor’s son, Savin Geese, he was immediately pissed. These people were too short-sighted. Can these two people be provoked?

Norton shouted, “The thugs inside there, listen carefully. If you don’t surrender, we will shoot.” Norton thought, Your fathers are the ones who will shoulder your responsibility. With the merit of rescuing hostages, there should be nothing wrong with it.

Since Locklaring had made a decision, when he saw Norton yelling, he was a little angry. He walked quickly to Norton and glanced at him. “Chief Norton, what are you doing?”

” Ah … Mr. Locklaring, why are you here too?” Norton was just overwhelmed. He did not notice that Locklaring was here, and he was stunned immediately after catching sight of Locklaring.

“This is my private club. I am naturally here!” Locklaring was only a member of Parliament, but his influence in this city was not small, and whether Mark Vader could be re-elected was an unknown. It could be Locklaring who would come to power at that time!

So when it came to Locklaring, Norton didn’t dare to neglect. “I see. I have gotten a police report claiming that there is a thug attack.”

Norton was a bit baffled. Logically speaking, it was impossible that Locklaring knew nothing about it. Why was he still standing here without stopping them? Although Locklaring was not afraid of Mayor Mark Vader, he could not be sloppy in such a serious matter.

“Thugs? Oh, you are talking about thugs!” Locklaring nodded and said faintly, “It is true that Maligeben and Savin Geese have kidnapped the celebrity, Shu Ya, as thugs, and now they are being stopped by the heroes who are brave and righteous!”

” Ah ?” Norton couldn’t think with his head for a moment. How could Maligeben and Savin Geese be thugs? Isn’t there something wrong with it? Moreover, the people who beat them have become heroes who are brave and righteous. “Bureau Chief Norton, I advise you not to participate in this matter. This is not something you can join in. You should stand aside quietly to wait and see!” Locklaring said coldly.

“Mr. Locklaring, although you are a member of Parliament, you can’t distort the truth deliberately and stop us from handling the case…” Norton thought that he had to save Maligeben and Savin Geese first no matter what!

“Patriarch Old Buffon is standing there. The people who beat Maligeben and Savin Geese were important guests of Patriarch Old Buffon. Patriarch Old Buffon said that he was just the follower of these two distinguished guests!” Locklaring saw that the Bureau Chief Norton wanted to stop it, so he had to tell him that Patriarch Old Buffon was here.

“What? Patriarch Old Buffon is here too?” Bureau Chief Norton was shocked, looking in the direction that Locklaring pointed. Sure enough, he noticed that Patriarch Old Buffon was standing quietly, staring at the Mercedes-Benz RV [1].

“I have said what I should say. You decide on your own.” Locklaring snorted.

Bureau Chief Norton regretted a while. What is this? If I knew that Patriarch Old Buffon was here, I would not have come. This is terrible. Although Mark Vader is my own boss, I can’t afford to offend Patriarch Old Buffon now!

“Bureau Chief Norton, save me!” Seeing that the police did not respond, Savin Geese was anxious, shouting again.

Yang Ming put his foot on Savin Geese’s face, and Savin Geese suddenly groaned. He rolled his eyes and couldn’t speak.

Norton didn’t dare to go forward now. He quickly ordered his men to put their guns down and then carefully walked up to the side of Old Buffon. He said respectfully,

“Patriarch Buffon, hello. I am the city’s Bureau Chief Norton…” Old Buffon’s eyes did not look at Norton but just nodded slightly, indicating that he heard it.

Norton was not angry with Old Buffon’s contempt, but rather flattered,

“Excuse me. Are the young oriental man and woman inside your friends?”

“Friends? No!” Old Buffon shook his head and said affirmatively.

” Oh ?” Norton was stunned. He thought, Patriarch Old Buffon doesn’t know the people inside. Does that mean that I can go in and arrest them? Thinking of it, Norton just wanted to take action, but he heard Old Buffon speak again! The next sentence made Norton break into a cold sweat; he was lucky that he wasn’t too impulsive!

“I am just their followers,” Old Buffon added faintly.

” Ju !” Norton was dumbfounded. The Patriarch Old Buffon was actually their follower? What kind of identity were these two Orientals? Norton thought of it and felt that this was not a place for him to stay. He said quickly, “Patriarch Buffon if there is nothing else, I will leave now…”

“Wait a minute. Take the two criminals who are messing with Miss Shu Ya!” Old Buffon pointed out at Maligeben and Savin Geese, who were on the floor and could not move, and said.

Norton was shocked. Old Buffon asked him to catch the mayor’s son and the lieutenant governor’s son. He didn’t dare to do this, but Old Buffon’s order made him dared not defy, and he came into a difficult spot all of a sudden.

Old Buffon also seemed to notice Norton’s awkwardness. He was different from Locklaring; he was the direct agent of Mark Vader. The consequences of this matter were serious. If worst comes to worst, he had to resign.

“Do what I say; it won’t entangle you,” Old Buffon said faintly.

Although Old Buffon didn’t say it further, Norton also heard the message between the lines from Old Buffon. In other words, if you do what I say, I won’t involve you. If you don’t do what I say, then I am sorry, it will involve you.

However, with the guarantee of the Patriarch Old Buffon, Norton had no worries! After all, he was the father of several children. To support a family, if he really did not have a job, life would become extremely difficult.

Now that Old Buffon said this, it meant that Old Buffon would shield for him. Even if he were no longer in the position of the police bureau chief, Old Buffon would definitely arrange a decent job for him.

Therefore, Norton suddenly had no worries and quickly nodded, “Yes, I understand what to do!”

Yang Ming knew that Old Buffon didn’t care if he killed the two men, but Yang Ming saw that the police came, and he didn’t want to make the matter serious. However, he still kicked the crying Maligeben and Savin Geese’s crotch. Maligeben and Savin Geese suffered agonizing pain, but there was no emergency rescue. At this time, Savin Geese probably understood that the Bureau Chief Norton was afraid of the power of this Asian, and did not dare to rescue him.

Savin Geese was a very realistic person. He understood that in the current situation, his resistance would be futile. It would only get him beaten up even worse, so he quickly asked for mercy, “Sorry, sir, I am wrong. I am really sorry.”

Yang Ming snorted and sneered at the cowardly Savin Geese, but it was time to stop. In private, Yang Ming could do anything to Savin Geese, but in public, he should be mindful.

“Mr. Sheriff, please take these two guys away. My friend, Shu Ya, was drugged by them as they intended to rape her. I had discovered and stopped it in time!” Yang Ming turned to Norton and said. Yang Ming also heard the conversation between Old Buffon and Norton clearly, so this time he also issued orders directly to Norton.

“Okay, sir! Please rest assured. I will definitely bring these two scumbags to justice!” Norton promised.

The two people who had been beaten up were taken to the police car. Norton led the police officers to leave Locklaring’s private club. The whole process was clean and neat. The parking lot that was filled with screams had restored the tranquility of the past.

“Patriarch Old Buffon, I am very sorry something like this happened,” said Locklaring apologetically.

“Get a car and send Shu Ya to the hospital!” Yang Ming picked up Shu Ya and said.

“Hurry up!”

Even though Yang Ming had confirmed from the mouth of Savin Geese that Shu Ya had no physical implications, Yang Ming was somewhat anxious deep down in his heart. After all, the person taking the medicine was Shu Ya. Even if there were a little side effect, Yang Ming was distressed!

“I have called the best doctors in the city, and they will be here soon!” Locklaring said quickly. He had already called the doctors earlier, and this was also a way to express his loyalty to Old Buffon!

“Thank you very much!” Although things happened in Locklaring’s place, in fact, Yang Ming understood that this matter couldn’t be blamed on Locklaring. Hence, Yang Ming hadn’t said anything to Locklaring. Since he had invited doctors, Yang Ming should be grateful to him.

“No thanks are necessary. This is what I should do!” Locklaring knew Yang Ming’s status and honor. How could he bear the gratitude of Yang Ming? He quickly said this as he waved his hand.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the doctors to come. Several doctors also knew the identity of Locklaring, but after seeing Locklaring doing the errands, they could guess that the identity of this patient was not simple!

They quickly took out the simple stretcher and started a comprehensive inspection of Shu Ya. From the inspection on the components extracted from the residue at her mouth, Shu Ya had indeed consumed a common sedative, which was not harmful to the human body. After confirming that there was no danger, Yang Ming could rest at ease.

“Doctor, what should I do now?” Yang Ming asked quickly.

“According to the patient’s current reaction, the amount of medicine taken is not large, so I personally do not recommend any medical means. The patient can naturally wake up after a few hours. What we can also do is to pump the patient’s stomach. Although it can make the patient wake up as soon as possible, it will cause great pain to the patient, so I don’t recommend it.” The doctor said to Yang Ming carefully.

Although he was the first-aid physician of the most famous hospital in the city, he also knew that these upper-class people were hard to deal with, especially those who caused Locklaring to be humble. They did not dare to be negligent, so doctors weighed the pros and cons and said their opinion.

“Alright, then I will listen to you!” Yang Ming nodded. Indeed, if he forcibly washed Shu Ya’s stomach, it would only increase Shu Ya’s pain, which Yang Ming did not want to see.

“Wait a minute, I will prescribe this medicine to the patient. After the patient wakes up, she can take it. In fact, it is some medicine for metabolism that helps to remove the residual medicine from the stomach,” the doctor said.

“Thanks for the trouble!” Yang Ming thanked them.

Shu Ya had no problem. Yang Ming also felt relieved deep down in his heart. Locklaring’s banquet had to end early. Locklaring himself was also called to Old Buffon’s car. He went back to Buffon Hill with Old Buffon to discuss important things.

Yang Ming hugged Shu Ya tightly, sitting in Old Buffon’s extended Bentley. Wang Xiaoyan sat by Yang Ming’s side and looked at his worried expression. She consoled him, “The doctor has said that she is fine.”

” En , I know.” Yang Ming sighed and said, “It seems that I have to get Shu Ya a bodyguard in the future. I will go to Li Qiang and learn about how to train a group of female assassins. Then, I can have them to protect all of your safety.”

Yang Ming referred to all his women, including Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and the rest.

Although Wang Xiaoyan didn’t need protection, she was content with Yang Ming saying so. She pursed her lips smiled and said, “I don’t need it. It is hard to say who will protect who at that time.”

“For those who can hurt you, you need me to protect you personally.” Yang Ming also laughed.

“What made our career so special!”

” Hehe !” When Wang Xiaoyan heard Yang Ming saying said that he would protect her personally, she smiled happily. It seemed that her treatment was better than others!
