Chapter 765 - 714: Wrongdoings! (2)
"Director Chen!"
"Old Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Atop the Great Wall, when Chen Shan located Chen Yifan, the crowd that had followed him cried out in astonishment. They truly had not expected Chen Yifan to be involved, and they could not have imagined in their wildest dreams that Chen Shan would personally make an appearance.
"Secretary Zhou, Old Wang, you’re here too?" Chen Shan first nodded to the few police officers with high-ranking insignia on their shoulders. He then turned to the refined, middle-aged man who had been driving the Audi A6L and the man in the Tang suit, his expression showing considerable surprise. He had originally thought that only his son had been beaten, but it was now clear that several of them had been brutally assaulted.
"The leader was in a meeting. When he heard that Xiao Jiang had been beaten, he sent me over to take a look. I never expected that it wasn’t just Xiao Jiang who was attacked. Even Director Li’s son, Director Wang’s young master, and even your son, Director Chen, were assaulted! To dare stir up this kind of trouble on Beijing’s turf... I’d like to see just who is audacious enough to do this!" Secretary Zhou declared, his face a mask of indignation.
"Uncle Zhou, I won’t say much, but you have to get revenge for me! I want that bastard from out of town to rot in jail!" the young man called Xiao Jiang cried, his words slurring through gaps in his teeth.
It was the pain, mainly. The feeling of his body being on the verge of falling apart was an agony he had never experienced in his twenty-odd years. For a pampered young master like him, the moment was filled not only with endless rage but also a deep sense of grievance.
"Rotting in jail is letting him off too easy!" Chen Yifan added with a cold, whistling snort. He looked at his father and said, "Dad, I want him to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair being fed by others!"
Hearing this, everyone except for Director Wang and his entourage widened their eyes. Secretary Zhou and the police officers stared in shock. How could they not understand the hidden meaning?
Being fed in a wheelchair?
He wants to cripple the man’s limbs! That’s more painful than death! This is a classic example of a fate worse than death!
"Where is he?" Seeing Chen Yifan’s pathetic state, Chen Shan reached out and stroked his son’s head before gritting his teeth and asking in a low voice. A monstrous rage exploded in the depths of his heart.
"Right up ahead. He’s wearing a black and white tracksuit, is around 1.7 meters tall, and he’s alone!" Chen Yifan reported.
Hearing this, Chen Shan nodded. He turned and nodded at the young men dressed in black. They understood immediately. Without a word, their figures blurred as they broke into a sprint, dashing forward.
Seeing Chen Shan’s men move out, Director Wang also waved a hand at his own entourage, who also immediately took off, sprinting forward.
"Director Chen, doing this in full public view... this isn’t good. It will be hard for me to explain to my leader! And these men from the Municipal Bureau are still officially on duty. Aren’t you putting them on the spot? You know times have changed; the internet is too powerful, and news spreads frighteningly fast! Can’t we just wait until we get him back to the station before we deal with this?" Seeing the situation escalate, Secretary Zhou’s face twitched, and a sense of panic rose in his heart.
"Secretary Zhou, is this the first day you’ve known me? My son was beaten into this state on my own turf, and you want me to take him back to the station to deal with him? If word of this gets out, where am I, Chen Shan, supposed to show my face? Not even the Heavenly King himself could stop me today! If you’re scared, then get lost! Take your young masters and scram, right now! It’s not your place to tell me, Chen Shan, how to handle my affairs!" A sneer emerged from the shadows in Chen Shan’s eyes as he shot a withering, arrogant glare at Secretary Zhou and the men from the Municipal Bureau.
Then he looked at Chen Yifan, his tone softening slightly. "Can you still walk?"
"I’ll have someone support me!" Chen Yifan said.
"Good. Come with your old man!" Chen Shan barked, striding forward with an imposing air.
"Dad!" Wang Zilong said, looking at Director Wang.
"Let’s go!" Director Wang said, his expression cold and stern. With Chen Shan leading the charge, what did he have to worry about?
Supported by a woman, Wang Zilong followed behind.
The other young man, whose family had not sent anyone, did not even have to think. He barked at the woman helping him, and she nervously guided him forward.
"Xiao Jiang!" Seeing the situation spiral completely out of his control, a mortified Secretary Zhou looked at Xiao Jiang.
"Useless trash! Get lost! Cowering at every shadow... you’ll never get any further in your life!" Xiao Jiang shot a vicious glare at Secretary Zhou and spat the rebuke through his gritted teeth. He then ordered the woman supporting him to follow the others.
Secretary Zhou’s words and Chen Shan’s furious tirade were, without a doubt, a humiliating slap in the face to Xiao Jiang. In front of the Chen father-and-son duo, it was a stinging blow to his pride. It had to be said, after spending so much time with Chen Yifan, the thuggish bravado he had picked up made him forget the sensitive nature of his own status. Countless powerful men had been brought down simply because they had a son who brought ruin to his father, but Xiao Jiang seemed completely oblivious to this fact.
"This is a disaster, an absolute disaster!" Seeing Xiao Jiang’s determination to follow, Secretary Zhou’s eyelids trembled uncontrollably. Go with them? Once this incident blows up and has repercussions, it will be a catastrophic blow to both me and my leader! After a moment’s thought, he clenched his jaw, pulled out his phone, and started dialing. In a situation like this, he could not make the decision himself.
"Young Master Li, what are your thoughts?" a few of the officers from the Municipal Bureau asked, looking with conflicted expressions at the one young man who had not followed the group.
"Help me back," the young man said after a moment of thought, finally deciding not to wade any deeper into these muddy waters. He knew he was different from Chen Yifan, and his father was certainly different from Chen Shan. Chen Shan could act recklessly and use other means to smooth things over later. But his father was different. Once this situation blew up, the consequences for him and his father would be unthinkable. Their original plan had been to have Qin Fan discreetly arrested and then deal with him. But to resort to public violence on the crowded Great Wall? He truly could not, and would not dare, get involved.
"Phew! Young Master Li, that’s a good call!" The officers from the Municipal Bureau let out a collective, heavy sigh of relief. At the same time, their respect for him grew immensely. Compared to that Xiao Jiang, Young Master Li is clearly far more rational. After all, what Secretary Zhou had said to Chen Shan earlier was the undeniable truth of their situation.
Seeing Young Master Li and the city officers decide to leave, Secretary Zhou, having just hung up the phone, sighed to himself. They’re all the same age, so why is there such a massive gap in awareness between Xiao Jiang and Young Master Li?
Lost in his melancholy, he turned and headed back. The leader had said that if he could not be stopped, then let him dig his own grave. If their enemies really got a hold of this, then he was fated to be ruined by that worthless brat.
「On another section of the Great Wall.」
Xiao Er, who had been keeping a distance of about ten meters from Qin Fan, broke into a mocking grin upon seeing the menacing group of men in black approach. "Tsk, tsk, here they come! The main event is starting!"
As he spoke, the men in black ran past him. After confirming their target was just ahead, they immediately began clearing tourists out of that stretch of the Great Wall. In an instant, the ten-meter area behind Qin Fan was empty of people.
Shoved aside by these menacing figures, who were clearly not to be trifled with, none of the tourists, whether local or foreign, dared to protest. Having just witnessed what Qin Fan did to Chen Yifan and the others, most of them had a good idea that these newcomers were here for revenge.
