Both sides stared at each other with animosity.Zhang Xiaohua turned his eyes and looked behind him, he saw a row of cars approaching from the distance. He immediately sneered and threw a provocative look to Ling Feng, his face full of mockery.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua flas.h.i.+ng him a mocking look, Ling Feng couldn"t bear it. He rushed up to Zhang Xiaohua and grabbed him by the collar with both hands and shouted: "Watch what I"ll do to you, you haven"t got your goons to save you now!"
At this moment, a convoy of cars arrived. Not even waiting for the doors to open, a bunch of reporters began taking pictures through the windows, and several of them hurriedly jumped out of their cars. With their cameras aimed at Ling Feng and Zhang Xiaohua, they started snapping photos while running towards them. Their camera flashes lit up their faces.
Well, there goes the headlines:
[Jinsheng Group"s Prince sees the law as nothing]
[Prince Ling openly hits people at the gate of the police station]
[A Tiger Grandfather begets a Dog Son]
[HuaXiang Entertainment Vs Jingsheng Group]
This was the exact result Zhang Xiaohua wanted.
The reason why Zhang Xiaohu a came by himself was to play the weak victim in order to win public sympathy. There was nothing the public hated more than rich second generations showing disregard and disdain towards others.
Ling Feng was a public hoodlum and his exploits filled the newspaper everyday, thus arousing public anger wouldn"t be too difficult.
Upon seeing the group of reporters coming, Director Guo turned and ran into the police station. Cao Dequan and the rest saw the situation and slipped away as well, they were reluctant to face the cameras.
It wasn"t surprising. This was the police station, they couldn"t afford to be caught in rumors. Especially Director Guo, he couldn"t be seen meddling in an active investigation, even with his connections inside the party. That was just asking to get fired.
Zhang Xiaohua didn"t take the situation for granted. In the face of Ling Feng"s atrocities, he raised his hands in a mock surrender.
Watching Zhang Xiaohua, Ling Qitian stayed calm, not shying the slightest away from the camera lenses. His pair of peaceful eyes stared at Zhang Xiaohua, he whispered in his heart, "What a sly young man."
A reporter from a metropolitan newspaper took out a recording pen and asked: "Ling Feng, as the future head of the Jinsheng Group you"re openly using violence in front of a police station. Does the law not enter your eyes?"
Ling Feng was frozen in place, his hands were still holding Zhang Xiaohua"s collar and his face filled with anger.
Zhang Xiaohua avoided Ling Feng"s gaze and directly locked his eyes with Ling Qitian.
Although this old man was reputed as a kind and gentle soul, in the eyes of Zhang Xiaohua, he was definitely a shrewd person. When he matched gazes with him, he knew immediately that the old man had seen through his ploy. His eyes were wizened and seemed to see through him.
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly laughed and raised his hand to push off Ling Feng"s hands. He told reporters: "Don"t misunderstand, my brother and I are good friends. Yesterday we had a misunderstanding, so today I came to the police comrades to mediate the situation. Last time, Ling Feng even spent more than 7 million to invite me to dinner. Wasn"t that a show of our everlasting friends.h.i.+p?"
"7 million for a meal!"
"My goodness! That"s enough for me to spend for the rest of my life!"
"This is still big news, just write it down."
Zhang Xiaohua looked over and saw Cao Feifei, flas.h.i.+ng her a smile, he turned a bit and smiled at the reporters: "Everyone has been treating me greatly recently, even the General Manager of New Century Entertainment hasn"t been stingy. Last time she invited out the whole company to eat and spent more than 3 million yuan on us. That"s to say the Jinsheng Group"s Prince and Princess are generous, spending more than 10 million yuan on us. I feel embarra.s.sed."
Upon hearing this, the reporters" attention was completely diverted as they recorded his statement.
"d.a.m.n idiot, learn from your grandfather and use your brain for once, even if you have more money, you will be played with sooner or later. You"re just a young master with money, without your grandfather you would be fart! The only reason I haven"t ended you is because your grandfather is here." Zhang Xiaohua whispered into Ling Feng"s ears.
After that, he brushed past Ling Feng far away and went straight into the police station, then several police officers also rushed out and blocked the reporters.
Because this matter involved too many big names and due to the media catching wind of the incident, Director Guo received a call from his superior to deal with the case personally, he was to "ensure that justice was served and all parties were left satisfied". Being stiffed to deal with the issue, he sighed and called everyone into the Senior Superintendent"s office.
Ling Qitian and Ling Feng sat side by side on the conference sofa but the mood of the two was very different. One was angry and grimacing and the other calm and observant. The Cao family was standing beside them, but they had fallen into a supporting role. They didn"t even have the right to speak, and were only allowed to watch and hear.
Opposite to them, Zhang Xiaohua was sitting and leaning into the sofa.
"Young man, you are now a large figure in the industry and your career is on the rise, but today you called so many reporters, are you not afraid that your career will be affected? Getting in a bar fight isn"t a glorious thing. When this gets out, you will take a hit to your reputation." Ling Qitian said to Zhang Xiaohua. As Zhang Xiaohua thought, his tricks didn"t escape his savvy eyes.
His aim was that once this matter was disclosed by the media, the relevant departments would have to deal with it fairly and impartially. Otherwise, with the influence of Jinsheng Group even if Zhang Xiaohua died here today, all the news on it would be buried.
However, Ling Qitian was obviously a smart person. He had to speak straight words with smart people, so Zhang Xiaohua said frankly: "Sorry, I was forced to do so. Look at you and the Jinsheng Group. With your money and strength, would I even be able to resist? Just now your grandson even threatened to kill me so I had to find some witnesses."
"Director Guo is here, who would dare to hurt you? Young man, it is okay to do high-profile things, but some things are too high-profile. What"s more, today we came just to resolve this issue, not to make trouble. If you are reasonable, we can sort this all out today." Said Ling Qitian, looking at Zhang Xiaohua with appreciation.
"Since Chairman Ling is such a reasonable person, let"s talk then." If possible, Zhang Xiaohua didn"t want to make things bigger. Moreover, at present, Xiong Zhuang was still in the detention stage.
"The person from yesterday is Xiong Zhuang, he is the security manager of our company. We are also very good friends. I drank too much last night, then I had a misunderstanding with Ling Feng and I accidentally injured him. In order to help me, Xiong Zhuang came forward to take the blame for me. I came here today to admit that this matter has nothing to do with anyone else except me. I hope that Chairman Ling will let me and my friend go. But if you wish to detain anyone, detain me."
"Misunderstanding!?" Ling Feng instantly lost his temper, stood up and pointed at the wound on his head and shouted: "You struck me with a f**cking bottle, that"s a misunderstanding!? OK, let me hit you with a bottle back then!"
"Shut up. Stop being rude!" Ling Qitian shouted at Ling Feng. His chest became tight and he felt an asthma attack coming on.
"Ling Feng calm down, you"re angering Grandpa." Cao Feifei hurriedly b.u.t.tered in and kept stroking Ling Qitian"s back to calm him.
However, the Ling Feng at this time was like a rabid dog. He hatefully gnashed his teeth, roaring at Cao Feifei: "Why are you backing him, huh? I dare you to interrupt me again, see how I"ll deal with you!"
When Ling Feng"s words came out. Not only did Cao Feifei become angry but even Cao Dequan and Cao Huahua were infuriated. Yet, they had to swallow their voices, fearing to offend Ling Qitian and cause the marriage to be lost.
Seeing the dogs biting each other, Zhang Xiaohua was happy and leisurely sitting on the sofa, enjoying the rare drama.
"Do you want to kill me from anger!?" Ling Qitian looked at Ling Feng with anger, his old face was blue and his chest was violently rising up and down.
"I don"t care, this waste must give me an account today, or I won"t let this go. I"m officially reporting this crime, the one who attacked me was this waste. Director Guo, arrest him immediately, I want this waste locked up today!"
