Chapter 174: Arrest them, throw them all in jail
Before Bo Chengyan could even speak, a group of riot police charged in, their steps in unison, their presence terrifying.
He involuntarily stepped back, pleading, "At least let’s stop the bleeding first, no matter what."
Di Mingjue coldly snorted without giving him a single word. He turned around and brought Gu Qibao to sit on the bench, holding her hand.
He ostentatiously crossed his legs and protectively wrapped his arm around Gu Qibao in a domineering and protective posture. His arrogant gaze frightened all the members of the Bo Family into freezing in place.
Crossing him came with a cost.
"Young Master," a man who appeared to be the leader of the riot squad stepped forward, bowing respectfully, "How should we handle this?"
"Arrest them, throw them all into the station," Di Mingjue’s voice was void of warmth, chilling to the bone.
"What?" The Bo Family members were taken aback.
Cheng Xinlan quickly protested, "On what grounds are you arresting us? This is a family matter - all we need to do is sit down and talk it out. You have no right to apprehend us, Di Mingjue. You’re being unreasonable."
"I’m not being unreasonable." Di Mingjue stood up, laughing coldly. "I just don’t want to waste my breath on you. If you have any questions, ask your beloved son and daughter."
After saying this, he began to walk away, arm-in-arm with Gu Qibao.
"Duke!" Bo Chenghe panicked, urgently approaching him. "Our family members were wrong, but there’s a reason for everything. You should at least give us some explanation for your relationship with my sister to avoid any misunderstandings. I really, really..."
Bo Chenghe didn’t know how to explain - coincidences had piled up one after another.
Truth be told, he still didn’t understand what had gone on between Di Mingjue and Bo Chengxin.
When their family visited Bo Chengxin, what they had seen and heard at the doorway had made them lose control - they felt that Di Mingjue was being too oppressive.
But now, arresting the entire family without giving an explanation – that was also unacceptable.
"So if I don’t explain my actions, you’re allowed to attack me? If I do explain and you’re still unsatisfied, are you going to resort to violence?"
Di Mingjue derided, cool as ice.
"This..." Bo Chenghe was struck dumb by his retort.
Few could out-talk the biting tongue of Di Mingjue, and his arguments always hit the point, leaving you speechless and helpless.
In desperation, Bo Chenghe could only turn his pleading gaze towards Gu Qibao.
Gu Qibao had not spoken yet, as she didn’t know what to say. To be honest, the Bo Family had truly overstepped this time.
Bo Ruijie wanted to protest, but didn’t dare. The riot squad was here. What could he do?
What he hadn’t expected was that Di Mingjue would arrest them all.
He assumed that Di Mingjue had only called them in for show, and a simple clarification would be enough.
Who knew he would be so ruthless? He didn’t just arrest them, but didn’t even afford them an explanation.
He had grossly underestimated Di Mingjue. Di Mingjue didn’t make a fuss about anything. If all it took was a simple conversation, he wouldn’t have even bothered to call in the squad.
"I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, entirely my fault." Bo Chengxin’s weak voice suddenly echoed, her desperate plea: "Mr. Di, I beg you, please spare my family. I promise I won’t bother you in the future. Please, forgive us this once. I’ll explain everything to my parents and siblings clearly. Can you spare us, please?"
Bo Chengxin’s words were as meek as one could be.
