Chapter 502: The Impatient Old Men that Just Can’t Wait
After dinner, before Zhou Zheng left, he asked Auntie Lan for her number and left.
He indeed was very efficient.
w.a.n.g Jianbing (w.a.n.g Laoji’s dad) got the call saying that Xu Cheng was taken away.
He immediately became anxious. “How could you guys release him?”
“Director w.a.n.g, it’s our boss that came to pick him up.”
“Your boss?” w.a.n.g Jianbing was confused. “The Station Director?”
“No, it’s our station director’s boss.”
w.a.n.g Jianbing was shocked.
Zhou Zheng!
“H-he… why did he take Xu Cheng away? What’s going on?”
“I don’t even know too. My boss also greeted my whole family, you should give him a call yourself.” Then, the guy that led the arrest on Xu Cheng directly hung up the call. (TL note: greeting in this sense is like: you madafaking piece of sh-t, fack your whole family)
w.a.n.g Jianbing immediately called the director of that station.
Yet, the other end just didn’t bother to pick up his call.
w.a.n.g Jianbing immediately became nervous.
At this time, his phone rang.
His face changed drastically after seeing the caller ID!
It was from the Discipline Inspection Commission!
“Mr. w.a.n.g Jianbing, where are you?”
“I-I-I am at the hospital. My son is hospitalized, what happened?”
“Nothing, then just accompany your son.”
w.a.n.g Jianbing let out a sigh of relief. When he walked back into the ward, w.a.n.g Ji had already woken up, and his mom was feeding him congee.
“Son, that [email protected] that beat you up, your dad already had someone arrest him. Who the h.e.l.l does he think he is? He beat someone up yet still dares to act all mighty and arrogant.”
w.a.n.g Ji almost choked on the congee. He immediately asked his mom, “What did you say? Who did my dad arrest?”
“Isn’t that guy that beat you up called Xu Cheng? We found out, and he even came to the hospital to threaten us. Humph! Does he think our family is easy to bully? We had him arrested this very afternoon.”
“Mom! You screwed up!” w.a.n.g Ji was shocked. “He’s Ye Xiu’s friend! Ye Xiu, that Young Master Ye, that young master of the Ye Family!”
Walking into the ward, w.a.n.g Jianbing’s eyes almost fell out upon hearing this. “What did you say? He’s Ye Xiu’s friend? Are you sure?”
“He not only knows Ye Xiu. At that restaurant, there were also Young Master Zhou, Young Master Xing, Young Master Guo, and Young Master Nie! The five young masters of Yanjing were all there! Otherwise, why would I just get beat up and not fight back? Dad, you didn’t really have Xu Cheng arrested, right?”
w.a.n.g Jianbing fell back to a corner as he mumbled in despair, “No wonder, no wonder he was released in just under an hour! It was also Zhou Zheng that personally came to pick him up!”
“What happened, Old w.a.n.g?” seeing the face of her husband and son weren’t looking too well, the wife also asked anxiously.
“Just now, the commissioner of Discipline Inspection called and asked where I am.” w.a.n.g Jianbing’s face turned to the color of pig liver.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the ward’s door. Then, a few people came in, looking very domineering, and there were also people of the public security bureau.
“Mr. w.a.n.g Jianbing, please come with us for an investigation.”
“I really didn’t do anything!” w.a.n.g Jianbing was so nervous that he was about to cry. Once he went in for the investigation, they could really dig up all the shady things he had done in the past. Normally, if you go in, unless you had really powerful connections, you would at least lose a layer of skin if not die!
Despite the crying and begging of w.a.n.g Jianbing, he was still taken away.
“Mom, hurry, and call someone! Call Uncle and tell him that Dad got taken away! Hurry!” w.a.n.g Laoji immediately shouted at his mom.
His mom panicked as she took out her phone and began calling w.a.n.g Jianbing’s big brother.
In this circle, news traveled especially fast, and w.a.n.g Jiancheng (w.a.n.g Jianbing’s big brother) naturally caught wind of this. Then, his little sis-in-law called, and he was quite dumbfounded too.
“What really happened?” he said, “Don’t panic, slowly tell me everything. If you can’t talk clearly, pa.s.s the phone to w.a.n.g Ji (A.k.a w.a.n.g Laoji’s real name). I will ask him.”
w.a.n.g Ji’s mom nodded and pa.s.sed the phone to w.a.n.g Ji. w.a.n.g Ji then told his uncle everything.
“I just woke up, I didn’t know my dad already had that guy arrested.”
w.a.n.g Jiancheng anxiously asked, “You sure that person knows the five young masters? Do you know what his name is?”
“Xu Cheng.” w.a.n.g Ji said, “I heard Young Master Ye call him ‘Big Brother Cheng’!”
“Ye Xiu called him big brother?” w.a.n.g Jiancheng was shocked. Wait a second, he seemed to have heard of that name from somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it again. Then, he asked, “You said Zhou Zheng personally went to pick him up?”
“That’s what my dad told me.” w.a.n.g Ji was panicking too. “Uncle, do you think my dad will be fine? Can you help him out and ask around?”
“Wait for my news.” w.a.n.g Jiancheng hung up after saying that.
He gave a call to a friend at the Discipline Inspection Commission and asked, “Old Chen, are you off work now? Do you have time? Wanna go out and have a meal together?”
“Time? Facking working overtime again tonight.” The other end didn’t seem to have a good att.i.tude. “You are calling to ask about your little brother, right?”
w.a.n.g Jiancheng bitterly smiled. “Is it convenient?”
Old Chen directly said, “Sure it’s convenient. If you get involved, you won’t even have any bones left. Do you still want to poke your nose into this? Let me tell you, all of your little brother’s close connections are all undergoing protocols for investigation.”
w.a.n.g Jiancheng’s heart almost popped out of his chest, and his eyelids jumped like crazy. “What the h.e.l.l really did he do? Is it that serious? Don’t scare me.”
Old Chen: “If it’s not serious, would I have to work overtime tonight on such short notice? You think just him alone is enough to make us work overtime?’
w.a.n.g Jiancheng’s heart was jumping harder and harder.
Holy fack, facking w.a.n.g Jianbing! What the fack did you really do? How did such a ma.s.sive bucket of sh-t hit the fan?
“Old Chen, you misunderstood, I didn’t want to ask you about w.a.n.g Jianbing at all, I just simply wanted to ask you to join me for supper or some dessert. If you don’t have time then it’s fine, we can go out some other time, the bill’s all on me.”
Old Chen: “Oh, no, we aren’t close. I think your little brother hasn’t eaten yet, and he doesn’t seem to be in a good mental state. Do you want to come over and deliver something for him to eat?”
w.a.n.g Jiancheng: “Why the fack would I do that? I already told him a long time ago to not screw around, he just doesn’t listen. Whatever, he has no relation to me.”
Then, w.a.n.g Jiancheng directly hung up the phone.
He realized that his back was already covered in cold sweat.
After eating, Xu Cheng was in the courtyard eating some cold dishes and enjoying more cups of drinks. Zhou Xiaoming and the other three also came over to join them. After the main meal, the older guys would enjoy their own time, and the younger ones would hang out elsewhere.
But, at around 10 o’clock in the evening, the four elders chatting in the main hall impatiently shouted out to the courtyard, “Little Cheng, you aren’t going to get to work tonight?”
Xu Cheng: “I’m a bit occupied right now, I will start working tomorrow.”
Elder Zhou directly shouted from the main hall. “Little Ming, do you not have anything to do tonight?!”
Zhou Xiaoming, who was just laughing and chatting, immediately shut his mouth and got up and left.
Not just him, when the other three elders looked over, they didn’t even have to say anything, and the other three young masters immediately hopped onto their rides and left.
Ye Xiu snorted, “Bunch of good-for-nothings!”
At this time, Elder Ye’s voice faintly floated over, “Little Xiu~”
Pew~ Ye Xiu disappeared as well, leaving just Xu Cheng behind at the table, looking at the alcohol bottle that was still half-full. He scolded back at those old [email protected], “You all facking endured for about a hundred years now, can’t even wait for one more day?”
At this time, Auntie Lan walked over and said, “Young Master, I already moved your bed to the laboratory room.”
Xu Cheng was speechless.
