Chapter 378 Respect My Ass
```
"What's going on? Has the matter been reported to Station Head Guo?" Director Zhao, seeing Wu Longcai so angry that he wanted to throw his phone, couldn't help feeling a bit of schadenfreude.
```
```
Just now, Ge Dongxu ignored him due to some prejudice, which left Director Zhao, who usually had a rather good opinion of himself, somewhat displeased.
```
```
"Hmph, not only has it been reported to Station Head Guo but that bastard also went to the police. Damn it, I never expected foreigners to be so shameless when they decide to lose face!" Wu Longcai said, fuming.
```
```
"Damn, you're kidding me. If that's the case, given that guy's nature, it's very likely that it has already escalated to their Embassy in Huaxia!" Upon hearing this, Director Zhao was also caught by surprise, stunned for a moment, then spoke.
```
```
This is just too fucking shameless; they really think we're pushovers? At this moment, Director Zhao, who had initially taken pleasure in Wu Longcai's misfortune, hoped that Ge Dongxu was actually badass enough to withstand the pressure.
```
```
Upon hearing this, Wu Longcai's expression darkened, and he furrowed his brows.
```
```
Although he knew Ge Dongxu was definitely formidable, if the matter had indeed alerted the Spanish Embassy in Huaxia, it would certainly be more complicated to deal with. However, thinking about Bravo's behavior just now, Wu Longcai really believed that guy would definitely run crying to his "mother's home."
```
```
"Damn it, no wonder Station Head Guo mentioned that even Deputy Director Yuan from the provincial foreign affairs office had called him!" Wu Longcai said through gritted teeth.
```
```
While Wu Longcai was grinding his teeth, several uniformed police officers entered the doorway, and the middle-aged officer who led them froze upon seeing Wu Longcai, then strode forward with a serious face and asked, "Are you Comrade Wu Longcai?"
```
```
"Yes, that's me." Seeing that the police had arrived, Wu Longcai looked even more upset and nodded in confirmation.
```
```
"Hello, we are from the public security bureau of Mingyue Lake District. A Spanish citizen named Bravo has filed a report, saying that you and your friend slandered and humiliated him, and one of you even hit him. So please, you and your friend need to come with us to the station to assist with the investigation," the middle-aged officer stated, his demeanor still somewhat courteous upon confirming Wu Longcai's identity.
```
```
Wu Longcai, seeing it was indeed Bravo who had gone to the police, had a very somber expression and was thinking about whether to inform Ge Dongxu, when the elevator doors opened and Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao walked out.
```
```
"What's happening?" Seeing the police stopping Wu Longcai and the others, Ge Dongxu's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward to ask.
```
```
"That Bravo reported the incident to the police, and just now our station head also called me, mentioning that leaders from the city and from the provincial foreign affairs office all called him. I guess that guy probably escalated the situation. These police comrades here are from Mingyue Lake District, preparing to take us back to the public security bureau to assist with the investigation," Wu Longcai said, clearly angry.
```
```
"Why should we go to the public security bureau? Isn't it obvious that it was the Spaniard who was the scoundrel first? You can simply go upstairs and ask anyone, ask the foreigners too, they can all testify," Ge Dongxu said, his brows knitting together and a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
```
```
He had specifically taken one of Bravo's hairs and a drop of blood precisely to guard against the man's possible accusations; sure enough, the guy turned out to be incredibly shameless.
```
```
"Who are you?" The officer, seeing Ge Dongxu's assertive tone, asked with a slight hardening of his demeanor.
```
```
It turned out that when Bravo and his companions reported the incident, they only knew of Supervisor Wu's identity and were not aware of Ge Dongxu's. So when filing the report, they specifically mentioned only Wu Longcai, referring to Ge Dongxu, the one who hit Bravo, merely as Wu Longcai's friend. After all, finding Wu Longcai would lead them to him.
```
```
Initially, the police had wanted to bring Bravo along for an identification, but since Bravo had already shared the truth at the revolving restaurant, where many had overheard, including other Caucasians like himself, he felt too embarrassed to show his face there again.
```
```
"I'm also a party involved. That Bravo was harassing my friend, and he even turned around and falsely accused my friend, demanding an apology. I couldn't stand it and slapped him twice," Ge Dongxu replied.
```
```
"So you're admitting that you were the one who hit him?" The officer's expression became serious.
```
```
"Officer, there's a problem with how you're putting it. You should say I stopped Bravo's shameful actions. He harassed my friend and made false accusations. I just gave him a couple of slaps; that's not excessive, is it? It's not illegal, right?" Ge Dongxu stated.
```
```
"Whether it's excessive or illegal, let's go to the public security bureau and discuss it there," the officer replied, frowning.
```
```
If this incident didn't involve a foreigner and the bureau leadership hadn't specifically instructed them, public harassment followed by a slap would be a trivial matter. Of course, those who harassed others wouldn't dare to report to the police.
```
```
"Is that really necessary? This is our country, they were the harassers, I intervened, and now I need to go to the public security bureau? If you need evidence, you can take our testimonies right here; there are plenty of eyewitnesses upstairs," Ge Dongxu said impatiently.
```
```
He could tell that the officers were somewhat wary of Bravo's status as a foreign guest and hoped that he and Wu Longcai would cooperate to defuse Bravo's anger, to turn a big issue into a small one and let the small one go away.
```
```
This had always been the method for dealing with incidents involving foreign guests, but today's involved party was Ge Dongxu, and naturally, he wasn't someone to compromise or concede. Not only would he not, since Bravo dared to act so recklessly, Ge Dongxu would ensure he felt the consequences.
```
```
"Comrade, as a fellow citizen, I can understand your feelings, but please understand our position too. After all, this involves a foreign guest, and we should give them full respect, making sure they don't feel that our case handling is..." The officer, seeing Ge Dongxu's lack of cooperation, said with a bitter smile.
```
```
As a citizen of Huaxia Country, in general terms, since Ge Dongxu was in the right, the officer naturally sided with him. But when it came to matters involving foreign guests, nobody wanted to bear that burden. Everyone wanted to kick the ball away, hoping the involved parties would care for the bigger picture, opting for less hassle rather than more, and to compromise.

However, in Ge Dongxu's eyes, that wasn't caring for the bigger picture; it was a lack of responsibility. It was disgraceful!
```
```
"Sure, if others show us respect, we should indeed reciprocate, but they've already harassed us publicly, we don't owe them any respect now. Alright, I see you have a tough job too, so here's what we'll do; I'll make a phone call, and you won't have to deal with this anymore," Ge Dongxu said bluntly, then took out his phone.
```
```
Seeing Ge Dongxu's assertive manner and with the imposing figure of Wu Longcai, the director of the provincial entertainment station nearby, the officers didn't dare to force Ge Dongxu to go with them but instead frowned and watched as he made the call.
```
```
Ge Dongxu called Chief Zheng Zijie of the Provincial Public Security Department.
