"I am fine. How are you? Did he hit you on the back? Does it still hurt?" Kevin looked over her carefully. If they had not been in public, he would have examined her injuries at once.
It hurts a bit. I'll just get some medicine at home. It's no big deal." Leena had just wanted to teach these boys a lesson. She didn't expect that things would get so serious. She regretted her recklessness.
"No, we'll go to the hospital. You're not a doctor, so what you say doesn't count." All Kevin cared about right now was Leena. He had no time for the injured young man. For their parents' sake, Kevin didn't punish the young men severely. He only meant to teach them a lesson.
No. I'll just have Tom check my back tomorrow." Leena hated going to the hospital, so she shook her head, strongly opposing what Kevin said.
"I didn't want to be so serious about this, but for your own good, I think I should tell your parents." Kevin said, turning to the men. He took out his cell phone and called Mr. Yi. He and Mr. Yi were quite familiar with each other.
"Major General, please don't tell our parents. If they come to know about this, they wouldn't go easy on us." The young men cried and begged Kevin. They shuffled their feet nervously, wanting to escape.
"If you do something wrong, you must pay for it. You are not the center of the world." Kevin snapped at them, and he was still on the phone.
"Hello! Mr. Yi, this is Kevin. There is a civil dispute here. Come over and deal with it. By the way, call the director of Transportation Bureau too." Kevin gave the order without hesitation. Kevin knew that these young men not only extorted people but also beat them. It was a criminal offense. As a law enforcement officer, however, he couldn't take action himself.
Major General, I'll be right over. I will also inform the director of Transportation Bureau immediately." Mr. Yi replied as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. 'I don't know what's going on with people these days. How could they mess with officers from the army base? Why do they keep picking on these big names? Some of them have angered the Senior Colonel before, and now someone angered the Major General. Do these people want to die?' Mr. Yi thought anxiously.
Okay, hurry up. I'll wait for you here." Kevin hung up the phone instantly and glanced at the men. If he didn't teach these bastards a lesson today, they would do this again. He was not going to let them off the hook.
Major General, did you just call my father?" A young man asked timidly. He heard Kevin call Mr. Yi on the phone. It must have been his father.
"Well! So you are Mr. Yi's son? That's interesting. I wonder how he would handle this matter when he arrives." Kevin twisted his lip. 'This is interesting.' Kevin thought. 'Out of the four, one is the son of the mayor and another one is the son of the director of Public Security Bureau. What about the other two? Are they the sons of the directors of Transportation Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Have I offended all these officials?' Kevin snorted.
"What about my father? You aren't going to call him, are you?" The mayor's son asked in horror, and thought, 'My father is the head of the city. This man doesn't have the right to ask him to come!'
Your father? No, I'm not going to call him. But I can, if you want. It's up to you." Kevin smiled humorlessly. He didn't have the power to ask the mayor to come over, but it didn't mean that the mayor wouldn't take him seriously. Kevin was a Major General and his father was a high-ranking official. The mayor might not pay heed to Kevin, but he would certainly show respect to Kevin's father.
Uh... Don't call my father." The mayor's son shook his head immediately. If the mayor really came here, it meant that the person his son messed with was very powerful.
Kevin, is this really necessary?" Leena asked with some unease. She was too young to understand bureaucracy and politics, but she knew that what Kevin did could offend the officials and potentially jeopardize his career.
"Yes, it is necessary. These officials should know what their sons are doing in the city under their names. Only then would they keep their sons in line. Otherwise it would be too late when they commit an even bigger offense." Kevin frowned. Why did these rich kids of the bureaucracy want to discredit their parents and drag their names through the dirt? Did they not consider that their actions were wrong? Did they not know how much harm they would bring to others? Leena pressed her lips together. 'Kevin is right. These men are still young. If they do something worse, they'd get in serious trouble. It is for their own good that they are taught a lesson in time.' Leena thought.
"Leena, it's windy. Let's get inside the car." Claire had been watching the young men quietly. She felt like she was watching herself. Claire did not behave criminally like them, but she had done a lot of indecent things in her father's name. It seemed that there was not a huge difference between her and them.
"Yes. Nana, get in the car with Claire. When this is done, we'll go home together," Kevin said. He was used to the cold weather, but it was too chilly for Leena, who was wearing a miniskirt. Leena didn't like the cold. Even wrapped up in the army coat, she shivered. He could tell that she could barely stand the temperature.
"No, I'll be right here with you. Oh, I forgot to give you your coat. How stupid I am! Put your coat on first. I'll just wear my own." Leena took off the coat and handed it to Kevin. She bent and pulled her own long one out of the car and quickly put it on. Leena felt warmer immediately. Her coat was made of velvet, so it was warmer than Kevin's thin army one.
Kevin put on the coat that she handed over without arguing. His mind lingered on her promise that she would stay with him. Warmth seeped into his heart. It seemed that the cold winter night had also grown warmer.
The young men looked at Kevin with wide eyes, startled. They hadn't been so intimated previously. Kevin looked even more majestic and dignified wearing his army coat. It made him look unapproachable. They avoided his eyes. The young man with the broken hand was especially frightened.
They wished that they could turn back time so they would not have hit Leena's car, and especially not have forced her to pay. Things would not have ended up like this in that scenario.
Mr. Yi arrived in just over ten minutes. The director of Transportation?Bureau was not far behind. As soon as they saw their sons, their faces turned red with anger.
"Major General, we're here. What is going on?" Mr. Yi asked. It was winter but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He didn't know how to react to this and gave his son a fierce look.
"You got here quite fast." Kevin had his hands in his pockets and appeared arrogant. He gazed at the officers thoughtfully. They wouldn't have been so livid if it wasn't their sons who were guilty of crime.
