Chapter 499: The Fury of the Gang of Old Men
When Xu Cheng saw that Shen Yao and her dad had left, he became relaxed as he looked up from his watch. Then, he said to Director Wang, “I will just treat this as a misunderstanding, but I hope there’s no next time. I have my reason to beat someone up. As for why your son got beaten up, you guys can ask him. If there’s anything, you can wait until your son wakes up and ask him if he wants to escalate this thing. I will deal with whatever comes my way.”
Then, he turned around and left the ward.
Wang Laoji’s mom was trembling in fear. “How can this kind of person exist? Old Wang, what are you doing as the Director Wang? Someone is taking a dump on your face and you are still tolerating it? Look at our son!”
Director Wang also lost his calm under his wife’s instigation. X u Cheng’s attitude was indeed very infuriating!
He picked up his phone and directly called his connections, and they immediately dispatched 3 officers that were patrolling in that area to arrest Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng was about to call a cab to go back to Ye Manor, when he was stopped by the side of the street by the officers.
They looked at him and asked, “Xu Cheng?”
Xu Cheng subconsciously nodded.
“Come with us, you are now under arrest. Don’t resist, otherwise, we have the right to take necessary actions for your arrest.”
Xu Cheng faintly asked, “What crime did I commit?”
“You have been accused of committing multiple crimes, including physical assault. Now, you have to come back with us for an investigation. I suggest you don’t resist, we know you can fight really well,” the officer said to him.
Xu Cheng smiled. He let them put the cuffs on him and went into the police cruiser.
Damn, such efficiency, he had just walked out of the hospital and didn’t even get to call a cab yet.
Yanjing’s security protocols were indeed very established.
He was driven back to the local police department. After getting escorted into a cell, Xu Cheng asked, “Can I make a call?”
“Can you make a call?” the officer smiled mockingly. “Your question is a bit absurd, you know that? Your crimes had already been established without the need for an investigation; you are not a suspect but a criminal now, do you know that? You think you are allowed to make a call?”
“Convicted already? There’s no need to follow the protocol or something?”
“No need. You should at least know the person you offended. Let me tell you, when we get the medical report from Young Master Wang, we will determine how many years your sentence will be. You can expect at least 2 or 3 years.” After the officer said that, he lit a cig, looked at the time, and waved at his colleagues and said, “Shift-change time, let’s go out for dinner together.”
– Ye Manor –
Auntie Lan especially made a hearty meal with Ye Pei’s wife because the other four elders were all staying behind to join them. So, they set up a big table in the courtyard.
But, when the five old men sat down and realized that they were missing one little b@stard, Elder Ye frowned and said, “Where’s that brat Xu Cheng? Little Xiu, it’s already dinner time, where’s your Big Brother Cheng? He’s still not back yet? Hurry up and give him a call, his other four grandpas are here too. Is he going to keep all of us waiting?”
The other four elders all blushed. They were indeed quite anxiously waiting for Xu Cheng’s return. Those instruments had arrived for a long time already, and those things can’t work themselves.
Ye Xiu gave Xu Cheng a call, but his phone was off.
Ye Xiu remembered what Xu Cheng said before, so he dialed Zhou Xiaoming and asked for Wang Laoji’s number.
Then, he gave Wang Laoji a call. On that end, Wang Laoji’s phone was picked up by his parents.
“Wang Laoji, do you know where Xu Cheng is?”
“Xu Cheng? Who is that guy to you? Let me tell you, I already had him arrested.”
“What? You arrested him? Wang Laoji, does your dad know how big your balls are?” Ye Xiu was a bit shocked.
Elder Ye directly grabbed the phone and said, “Hello?”
On that end, Director Wang began scolding, “I’m his dad, why can’t I have Xu Cheng arrested? Do you know who I am? You are Xu Cheng’s parent, right? Let me tell you, he beat up my son, it will be useless even if he apologizes. I will have him stay in the prison until he dies! Trying to play with me? Let’s see who facks who! If you want to see your son, you can go and visit him in prison!”
Then, he furiously hung up.
Elder Ye was dumbfounded. Soon, the dazed expression on his face became fury.
Then, with a loud bang, he slammed his palm on the table, shattering all the bowls and plates!
“Little Xiu! Who was that on the phone!” Elder Ye was fuming when he asked Ye Xiu.
“Wang Ji’s dad.” (TL Note: Wang Ji is Wang Laoji’s real name)
Elder Ye: “Who is Wang Ji?”
Ye Xiu: “His dad is the director at our city’s business bureau.”
“Piece of ——!” Elder Ye couldn’t be angrier. “I wasn’t even treated like this by the general back when I was just a soldier! You do see wonders the longer you live! What the fack is going on?”
Ye Xiu said in confusion as well, “This morning, we went out to eat with Zhou Xiaoming and the others. Big Brother Cheng saw someone he knew but that person was getting harrassed by Wang Ji, so he beat Wang Ji up. I thought Wang Ji would at least consider that I am Xu Cheng’s friend and not make a big deal out of this. Is his dad stupid?”
“Not make a big deal, yet Little Cheng’s in prison? Why else wasn’t he picking up the call?” Elder Ye furiously shouted.
“What? Little Cheng was arrested?” The other four elders’ faces immediately changed. They were all here, waiting for Xu Cheng to come back and make the medicine, yet this guy was already arrested?
“Why didn’t you take care of it!” Elder Ye glared at Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu said guiltily, “I really don’t know what Wang Ji’s dad was thinking… We even warned Wang Ji already.
But Wang Ji couldn’t be blamed when he was still asleep under anesthesia at the hospital. If he knew that the sky had changed when he woke up, he probably wouldn’t want to wake up from this nap anymore.
Elder Zhou immediately pulled out his phone and called his second son.
Zhou Zheng was off work and having dinner with his other colleagues. Seeing it was the old man calling, he immediately gestured “shhh” to the guys around him.
Then, he picked up the call. “Hello, Father.”
When his subordinates heard him say ‘dad’, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly and all stopped chewing.
“What are you doing?” Elder Zhou suppressed his anger and spoke.
“I just got off of work, I’m eating with my colleagues and discussing some recent work issues.” Zhou Zheng tried to show his dedication towards his work even when he was off work.
“You are still in the mood to eat?” Elder Zhou growled. “Under your eyelids, Xu Cheng got arrested! What the fack are you doing in the director position of the police system?”
Zhou Zheng was immediately frightened by the roar.
He obviously knew Xu Cheng. Recently, the higher-ups had all been talking about this guy, especially those of the four elders’ families, they were still hoping that Xu Cheng could help prolong their old men’s life. But, he’s in jail?
Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded.
“Let me tell you, hurry up and get my grandson out! We are all here waiting for him to come back for dinner still!” Elder Zhou shouted and directly hung up.
