"An hour or two? That's a long time!" Fade couldn't help frowning.
After all, it was quite late now. He and his wife were exhausted from their journey. Besides, they still had things to do tomorrow, so they wanted to get home early and have a good rest.
However, they were caught up because of Master Xu, and this wasted their time. Fade was displeased and enraged.
The middle- aged driver noticed Fade's displeasure and anger, so he said, "Young man, I understand how you feel. Everyone wants to leave as soon as possible. However, the traffic police has set up the roadblock, and there is no way out now. We can only wait."
"How can the traffic police do this merely for the sake of Master Xu?" Fade complained.
"But what can we do? He has strong backing, so we can only bear with it." The driver sighed. Then, he told Fade, "Young man, keep your voice down. If those people hear you, I'm afraid that they will make things difficult for you. Just endure it for a while."
"Okay." Fade nodded. Then, he thanked the middle-aged driver before returning to the car.
Quin immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Fade told Quin what the middle-aged driver had told him.
After listening, Quin frowned as she said, "This is too much! If the roadblock was meant for official purposes, then that's alright. But this is only for Master Xu's personal reasons. Why does nobody care about this?"
Fade knew that his wife disliked such malevolent people, so he comforted her, "Honey, don't be angry."
"Well, I'll go over there and ask if they can let us through first," Fade said.
After that, Fade got out of the car and walked towards the traffic police who were busy blocking the road.
But before Fade could talk to the traffic police officer, Chuck showed up and blocked Fade's way.
Sneering, he looked at Fade and said, "Boy, what are you doing here?"
Fade held back his anger and said, "I want to ask when the roadblock will end. I have something urgent to do."
"When will it end?" Chuck sneered and stared at Fade arrogantly. "It's up to us."
His attitude annoyed Fade. Fade whined, "Setting up a roadblock like this is not considerate towards the citizens' welfare. If there is an emergency, will you take responsibility?"
"An emergency?" Chuck chuckled and said. "No matter how urgent it is, you have to wait here. Forget regular emergencies, even if an ambulance wants to rush over, it has to wait here."
Upon hearing what he said, Fade went ballistic. As a doctor, he was extremely furious when Chuck said that an ambulance was no exception.
In an instant, Fade's expression darkened. He glared at Chuck and questioned harshly, "Are you so indifferent to other people's lives?"
"Hey, boy, how dare you question me? I think you want to be badly beaten." Chuck snorted, clenching his fist as he glared at Fade. "It's your honour to have Master Xu make you wait a few hours in this city. How dare you complain? You're dead now," he said.
In the meantime, he attempted to slap Fade across the cheek.
Fade immediately flew into a rage. He lifted his leg and hit Chuck's lower abdomen with his knee.
"D*mn it, this young man must be a martial artist! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so strong," a passer-by exclaimed.
"He's too young and impulsive. Even if he wins, what can he do? If he offends Master Xu, he will be doomed!" the other driver uttered.
"Yeah, forget Master Xu himself, even the traffic police will not let him go," another passer-by contended.
"I think he will be arrested and placed in police detention for at least half a month," a driver said.
Just as everyone was talking about it, the traffic police officers, who had turned a blind eye, realised what had happened. So, they walked over to Fade with angry eyes.
The one in the lead was a police officer of around thirty-eight years old. He strode over and glared directly at Fade. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Did you hit them?"
Fade looked at the traffic police and explained, "They attacked me first. I fought back out of self-defense."
"Things are not that simple. It is not selfdefense just because you say it is," the traffic police officer snorted. He said to his subordinates, "Take him back to the traffic police station and detain his car."
As soon as he finished speaking, several traffic police officers were about to come over and arrest Fade.
With his eyes narrowed, Fade stepped forward and questioned, "Why are you arresting me?"
"Why? Because you hit people in public and caused them serious injury," the traffic police officer growled in a deep voice as he gave Fade a glare.
