Zheng Fei's expression instantly stiffened, clearly, your name is Hao Jian.
"Call me Mr. Hao, are we close? Who allowed you to call me by my name?" Hao Jian spoke with visible annoyance.
"Hao Jian, I admit you are somewhat capable and well-connected, but don't think you're something special. The world is vast, and there are some people you can't afford to offend," Zheng Fei snapped, seeing that Hao Jian was not interested in negotiating, he saw no need to give Hao Jian any respect.
"Zheng Fei is just a dog of Kong Xiaozhen. If it's possible to reconcile, then we should try to," Guo Shuxian whispered to Hao Jian.
"Kong Xiaozhen? Who is he?" Hao Jian asked.
Guo Shuxian rolled her eyes in frustration, "With your extensive network, even the bigshots in the Military Department back you, and yet you don't know who Kong Xiaozhen is?"
"That impressive?" Hearing Guo Shuxian say this, it seemed that Kong Xiaozhen was indeed powerful, and he must also have some connections with the Military Department.
Before Guo Shuxian could respond, Yu Xiatang nodded and said:
"Our Yu Family has significant influence in the military forces of Hua City, but Kong Xiaozhen's Kong Family has absolute authority at the provincial level. It's not exactly ruling unchallenged, but it's close."
"Kong Xiaozhen is one of the Four Young Masters of Hua City. This Zheng Fei too, it's because of him that he has obtained his position. You'd better not conflict with him; otherwise, the consequences could be severe."
Guo Shuxian and Yu Xiatang both showed no faith in Hao Jian. After all, Kong Xiaozhen's momentum was too great; Hao Jian couldn't possibly match him.
Seeing this, Zheng Fei's expression became even more smug. What did it matter if Hao Jian had many people? The person backing him could overpower everyone present.
"How about it? If you're willing to reconcile, I'll pretend nothing happened, and I'll stay out of this trash family's business," Zheng Fei said, knowing that Hao Jian was not someone easily provoked and that clashing with him wouldn't benefit him.
Yin Chengzhi's face also looked terrible on hearing this, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Though Zheng Fei was arrogant, he had the capital to be so, and even he had to watch Zheng Fei's moods.
"Your proposal is excellent, anyone else would find it hard to refuse, after all, who would want to needlessly make an enemy of a powerful and influential family?" Hao Jian said, squinting and smiling.
Zheng Fei was also smiling, but his smile was somewhat mocking. He could understand it, after all, there weren't many in Hua City who would dare to disregard Kong Xiaozhen.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Hao Jian was about to back down.
"But I just have a contrarian streak, the more others want me to do something, the less I want to do it. So your proposal, I refuse!"
With the last word out, Hao Jian kicked swiftly, sending Zheng Fei flying through the air, landing awkwardly on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Everyone was stunned. Hao Jian had actually rejected Zheng Fei's proposal. Did he not realize how terrifying the consequences of opposing Kong Xiaozhen could be?
With blood-stained teeth, Zheng Fei stared fiercely at Hao Jian, "Young Master Kong will definitely not let you go, you will pay a heavy price for your actions today."
"My price may not come until the distant future, but yours is today!" Hao Jian scoffed, approaching Zheng Fei.
"What are you trying to do?" Zheng Fei stared uneasily at Hao Jian.
But Hao Jian didn't say anything, just grabbed one of his legs and gently snapped it.
A clear "snap" sound echoed as Hao Jian forcefully broke one of Zheng Fei's legs.
Zheng Fei slapped the floor with his hand, writhing in agony, his face twisted with pain.
Shu Ya and Guo Shuxian both involuntarily frowned, clearly frightened by Hao Jian's fierce and barbaric behavior.
Even so, Hao Jian had no intention of stopping; his other hand grabbed Zheng Fei's second leg and twisted it with force as well.
Zheng Fei passed out from the pain, and his screams abruptly stopped.
The people at the police station were all scared by Hao Jian's actions, staring at him in shock.
"Why would you do this, don't you know what the consequences will be?" Guo Shuxian walked up to him, furious.
Hao Jian was practically courting death; even she had to be extremely cautious when dealing with Kong Xiaozhen, let alone Hao Jian.
"I know, but I don't care," Hao Jian replied with a cold laugh. "You think you can crap on my head? Not even if the emperor himself asked!"
"You...sigh." Guo Shuxian was so angry she couldn't speak; in her view, Hao Jian was truly too arrogant.
"Not bad, like a real man!" Yu Xiatang said, his face flushed, seemingly excited.
Hao Jian had done what he had always wanted to do but never dared: stand up against Kong Xiaozhen. Just from that, Hao Jian seemed more of a man than he was!
Meanwhile, Shu Ya's beautiful eyes flickered continuously. Just who was this guy, and why were so many people helping him? She had always known Hao Jian was no ordinary man, but she had not realized he was this extraordinary.
"Is there anyone else who wants to catch me?" Hao Jian looked toward the officers.
The officers all shook their heads in panic; even their chief had been crippled by Hao Jian, none of them dared to trouble him anymore.
"In that case, can I leave now?" Hao Jian asked again.
The policemen nodded hurriedly, like chickens pecking at grains.
Hao Jian walked over to Yu Ou and Yu Xiatang: "Let's go treat the old master."
Without wasting words, Yu Xiatang nodded. He gave Hao Jian a meaningful wink, "After you finish handling your business, we'll wait outside for you."
Handle my business? Hao Jian was confused. He thought he had already resolved his matters.
Later, he understood what Yu Xiatang meant. He must have misunderstood his relationship with Guo Shuxian and the others; after all, three women were desperately trying to save him at the same time, anyone would think incorrectly.
"Why have you come?" Hao Jian asked Guo Shuxian, not expecting that she would come to his rescue.
"It was Chairman Xiao's daughter who told me you were framed; that's why I came to rescue you," Guo Shuxian said, looking at Xiao Meimei nearby.
Hearing this, Hao Jian was also somewhat surprised as he looked at Xiao Meimei. He hadn't expected that after humiliating her the day before, Xiao Meimei would bear no grudges.
Xiao Meimei, feeling somewhat shy, lowered her head, unable to meet Hao Jian's gaze.
"Thank you," Hao Jian said with a smile to Xiao Meimei, thinking that his words the day before had not been in vain; Xiao Meimei had truly changed.
Xiao Meimei shook her head, a simple thank you made her heart as sweet as if she had tasted honey.
