Wang Peng laughed bitterly. He had already lost everything against Jiang Yuanchao. He didn't know who the young man who just appeared was, but even Jiang Yuanchao seemed to be very polite to him.
"If you ask like that, it's definitely our fault…" Wang Peng replied without a choice. He couldn't understand how and when the Lin family got connections to the nobles of Jiangyuan Property so strong that someone even spoke out for them.
Wang Xiaoyu was scared of getting beaten again. He sent a few WeChat messages to gather people. He was hiding behind his father. He yelled, "Dad, cut the bullshit. How are we wrong? I already found people and they are coming soon. We'll teach them a lesson!"
Wang Peng's expressions changed drastically. He turned around and looked at his useless son. He thought, I'm only a driver. Do you really think your dad's the f*cking mayor?
Wang Peng recalled the past and realised that he had spoiled his son. His son had been arrogant outside all these times but he didn't mind it as he thought that it wasn't a big deal.
They bullied ordinary citizens before. But now, what was the identity of Jiang Yuanchao? Aside from many other problems, if Jiang Yuanchao informed the government's office, he was going to lose his job.
He looked at his son's face which was bruised and tainted with blood, and his ferocious expressions. Wang Peng sighed. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Wang Xiaoyu harshly on the face.
The slap was exceptionally loud and clear. The noisy crowd immediately quieted down upon hearing the slap.
The bystanders had already realised the situation but Wang Xiaoyu stared at his father in astonishment.
Even since he was young, his father couldn't bear to even touch his son with a finger. His son always did whatever he wanted to. But today, his father who spoiled him too much finally slapped his son in the face.
"You brute! Apologise to Young Master Jiang!" Wang Peng's voice was shaking but he forced himself to retain the horror in his heart.
Wang Xiaoyu was still staring at his father in disbelief. He thought that he heard it wrong. He was the one who were beaten, yet he needed to apologise?
A low voice sounded within the crowd, "Excuse me, let me through…"
Everyone turned around and saw the chubby manager puff as he squeezed through the crowd. The manager felt like he was struck by lightning at the sight of the prince of his company.
"Young Master Jiang…?" Although he was only a small manager, t it was impossible for him to not know the prince of the property.
The manager was reported by his subordinates that Wang Xiaoyu punched Jiang Yuanchao. Now that he saw the redness and swell on Jiang Yuanchao's face, the manager had a breakdown as the punch didn't seem like a light punch. He began to loathe Wang Peng's family. I gave the green light for both the entrance and exit to you and you punched my company's prince?
"Are you the manager here?" Jiang Yuanchao asked with a cold expression.
The manager wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded furiously, "Young Master Jiang, I was busy, I…"
Jiang Yuanchao waved his hands and stopped him, "Stop explaining. I'm not blind and I can see what the situation is clearly. I'll only ask you one question. That person said you are the one who agreed to use both the entrance and exit of the district as the entrance. Yes or no?"
The manager immediately had a meltdown. He glanced at Wang Peng and his son loathfully and stuttered, "I… I…Young Master Jiang, this, you…"
Jiang Yuanchao fumed, "I'm asking you, yes or no. You only need to reply with yes or no!"
The manager thought that he couldn't agree no matter what. He couldn't help but rage at the sight of the father and the son. He clenched his teeth, "No! I never promised them anything! Maybe the security guards agreed behind my back! I'm the manager of this district and it's impossible for me to accept something so ridiculous. This is the only entrance for cars in the district. If I gave them both the entrance and exit, wouldn't I have blocked the entrance and made all the residents here unable to go home?"
Jiang Yuanchao narrowed his eyes. How could he not tell that the manager was lying? It wasn't the time to hunt down the manager's responsibility right now. He denied it and contrarily, it benefited him for future developments.
"Wang Peng, the manager is here and he said that he never agreed to it. What do you say?"
"Bullshit! When I fucking gave you two packets of cigarettes last night, you agreed and said it was perfectly fine and that you'll make the guards maintain order at the front…"
The manager glared at him and clenched his teeth tightly, "Wang Xiaoyu, be careful with what you say. When did I accept your cigarettes? When did I promise you anything? You should follow the existing orders even if you are getting married. You are framing me. Do you have any proof? Wang Peng, discipline your son."
Wang Peng knew the situation better than Wang Xiaoyu. He knew that the manager would definitely deny it and wouldn't take the responsibility himself. The manager did agree, but it was verbal and how would they have any proof.
His advantages were gone and what Wang Peng had to consider now was whether Jiang Yuanchao would investigate this in depth. If Jiang Yuanchao reported this, he would lose his job. He was a driver for the government binded by a contract. Although he didn't have much of a salary, he had a lot of other earnings and was unwilling to lose the job. Not to mention that they had offended all the neighbours around the area. Without the job, all the people who called themselves his brothers would immediately disappear. When that time came, it would be hard for him to live around here. He would be greeted with people rolling their eyes at him wherever he went.
Hence, Wang Peng turned around and slapped his son on the cheek again.
The loud slap made Wang Peng's heart bleed.
"Dad, you are slapping me again?" Wang Xiaoyu yelled in disbelief.
Wang Peng kicked in rage, knocking Wang Xiaoyu to the ground. He stomped on his son a few more times to let out his rage, "What's wrong with me beating you? You are my f*cking son and I'm going to beat this useless thing. You bully others because of your authority and you are framing the manager. I thought something was wrong when you told me that the management agreed to let us use both the entrance and the exit. He denied it now and you still dare to frame him! You are such a brute. I might as well beat you until you die!"
Jiang Yuanchao watched Wang Peng act in silence. He turned around and spoke to the manager, "What are you standing here for? Your job is to make sure the district functions smoothly. There are so many people crowded around here and you have the face to just stand here?"
The manager nodded and bowed as he agreed. He turned around in panic to find all the staff, ordering them to disperse the crowd. The residents of the districts listened to him and left when they were told. The people who wanted to watch more drama only watched from afar.
Shi Lei felt annoyed and spoke to Jiang Yuanchao, "Brother Yuanchao, it's about time we end it. It's my relative's big day after all."
Now, Wang Peng finally understood why Jiang Yuanchao stepped up for the Lin family. It was because the Lin family had Shi Lei as a relative. Although he didn't know Shi Lei's identity, it was obvious that Jiang Yuanchao was slightly inferior in front of this young man.
