I am the Ultimate Villain, So What If I Kill a Protagonist

116: Chapter 116 Skinning Jiang Chen”Young Master Chu, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result?”

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian wore a respectful expression.

Dealing with an insignificant small fry like Officer Tang Jun was not the crux of the issue.

Calming Chu Yuan’s thunderous rage was what mattered most.

”Director Jiang, this is an internal matter for you. As an outsider, I won’t interfere too much.”

”I just want to know, he and I have no grievances; he shouldn’t have any reason to target me.”

”Could it be that someone is pulling the strings from behind the scenes?”

As he spoke, Chu Yuan fixed his gaze directly on Jiang Chen.

Scheming behind someone’s back?

Since he had spotted him, Chu Yuan saw no need to scheme in the shadows.

Even if this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Chen, Chu Yuan was going to make him take the fall today.

This was the power of authority.

It was also a lesson Chu Yuan was teaching this little Protagonist.

Following Chu Yuan’s gaze, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian also turned his eyes toward Jiang Chen.

As the bureau chief, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian naturally understood the goings-on within his department.

That Officer Tang Jun was Jiang Chen’s man was an open secret within the bureau.

Could it be that Jiang Chen was the one who ordered this?

Seeing the flames of anger in both their eyes, clashing like needles against wheat awns, the old fox Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian had already guessed most of the situation.

One was the number one young master of Magic City, the young master of the millennium-old Chu family.

The other was a rising star in the Magic City police force, someone he had intended to entrust with important responsibilities.

Without needing to hesitate, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian had already made his choice in his heart.

Forget it, better to sacrifice him than myself.

If you really did this, Jiang Chen, and caused me trouble, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.

”Officer Tang Jun, I’ll give you one last chance. Tell me who ordered you to do this, and you might still have a chance to redeem yourself. If not, you know the methods we have here at the bureau.”

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian was imposing without even getting angry; that invisible authority terrified Officer Tang Jun, who subconsciously cast his gaze toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was inwardly shocked.

From the moment the incident with Officer Tang Jun occurred, he knew things were going south, and it might even endanger himself.

Sure enough, Chu Yuan’s target was him.

”Damn it, you’re just relying on your family’s power to act like a tyrant here, ignoring the country’s laws and regulations.”

”You just wait, I will definitely bring you to justice.”

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth in hatred, but the most important thing right now was to resolve this huge trouble.

Things his subordinate did, and now he had to clean up the mess himself.

”It’s... it’s...”

Officer Tang Jun stammered. Just as his psychological defenses were broken and he was about to sell out Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen stepped forward voluntarily.

”Director, I ordered this. I am willing to accept all punishment.”

Jiang Chen admitted it himself, that he ordered Officer Tang Jun to make things difficult for Chu Yuan?

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian was dumbfounded.

Officer Lin Wanzhu was dumbfounded.

All the colleagues at the police station were completely dumbfounded.

Even Chu Yuan was quite surprised.

This guy actually dared to admit everything.

Soon, Chu Yuan guessed the other party’s intention.

Sure enough, Jiang Chen stepped forward and said.

”When I came to Magic City, I heard that those rich second-generation young masters in Magic City were arrogant, domineering, ignored the law, and acted recklessly. I had long intended to teach them a lesson and make them abide by the law.”

”This time, encountering such a situation, I gave Officer Tang Jun a few words of instruction to make things difficult for Young Master Chu.”

”I didn’t expect Officer Tang Jun’s methods to be so extreme, causing so much trouble.”

”I did this alone; it has nothing to do with Officer Tang Jun.”

”A real man takes responsibility for his own actions. I am willing to accept any punishment.”

Jiang Chen’s impassioned speech stood entirely from the perspective of morality and law. By voluntarily admitting his mistake and not letting his subordinate take the blame, he won a lot of favor.

This defense directly won him a lot of goodwill.

Officer Tang Jun, who had acted without authorization and even intended to sell out Jiang Chen, was moved to tears.

If the time and place hadn’t been inappropriate, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Chen to thank him for taking the fall.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian was stunned for a moment. Even according to the law, Jiang Chen’s actions were to uphold the dignity of the law.

Although his methods were a bit extreme, it was ”not a capital offense,” and at most, he would receive a disciplinary warning.

But the person he was facing was not an ordinary person; it was Chu Yuan.

The final outcome still depended on his mood.

”Ding! Because of the host, the Protagonist Jiang Chen has been forced to admit his mistake. The host has obtained 3000 villain points.”

A notification sound rang out, but it didn’t move Chu Yuan.

Merely admitting his mistake and hoping to let this matter slide? It wasn’t that simple.

”Clap, clap!” Chu Yuan applauded and cheered: ”Director Jiang, well said! So, in your eyes, I, Chu Yuan, am that kind of reckless playboy who ignores the law.”

”Today you invite me to sit on the suspect’s bench, tomorrow will you invite me to stay in prison?”

”Once Director Jiang catches a playboy like me, you’ll surely be promoted and get rich.”

”Should I go back and tell my elders about your great achievements and ask them to help you promote them?”

He wanted to stand on the moral high ground of the law to accuse him, thinking that by holding up the banner of ”righteousness,” he could escape.

Chu Yuan laughed.

Didn’t Jiang Chen say that people like him liked to play with power? Today, he would let them know what real power was.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian’s face turned green.

Although what Jiang Chen said had some logic, to treat Chu Yuan like a criminal right in front of him—and considering he was the one who was in the wrong to begin with—was problematic.

Chu Yuan’s intention was even more obvious.

Tell his family.

If the big shots of the Chu family found out that their police bureau was deliberately targeting Chu Yuan, would he even want to keep his own uniform?

”Come here! Jiang Chen knowingly violated the law and abused his power. Take him down and put him in solitary confinement for three days.”

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded. With just a casual sentence from Chu Yuan, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian still turned on him.

Before Jiang Chen could ”cry injustice,” he heard Chu Yuan say calmly: ”Committing such a grave error, just a few days of confinement, I’m afraid that’s not enough.”

”Then... what does Young Master Chu mean?”

”Wearing this uniform on this kid is a bit inappropriate. Strip it off.”

Chu Yuan pointed at Jiang Chen’s uniform with a cold sneer.

Didn’t this kid like solving cases? I’ll strip you of your uniform and see how you solve cases then.

”Young Master Chu, this is a small matter after all. Look, could you...”

Stripping off Jiang Chen’s uniform was equivalent to cutting off all his paths.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian intended to intercede for him, considering Jiang Chen still had some ability.

”A small matter? If Director Jiang thinks it’s a small matter, why don’t you try the taste of being a criminal suspect yourself?”

”Of course, this is your internal matter. As an ordinary citizen, I won’t disturb you any further.”

”Farewell!”

As he spoke, Chu Yuan ignored Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian’s attempts to keep him and left, looking somewhat petulant.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian glanced at Jiang Chen helplessly.

Of all people to offend, you had to offend this guy. Don’t blame me for not saving you.
