467: Chapter 467 Have I ever promised you?
467: Chapter 467 Have I ever promised you?
Li Mingliang knew he had really screwed up today.
If he couldn’t appease Ye Chenfeng, his father Li Weidong’s position as the Director of the Bureau of Industry and Comrce was dood.
He had always relied on his father’s position to act like a young master.
Without it, he, Li Mingliang, wouldn’t even be worth a fart.
Feeling the scorching gazes around him, Li Mingliang was filled with a surge of rage.
Blood rushed to his head, and, without uttering a word, he walked up to the wooden table, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
Who knew what was going through his mind?
As a minor character, Sun Zida certainly wouldn’t dare to defy the orders of Li Weidong.
He followed closely behind Li Mingliang, the wet stain in his crotch standing out strikingly.
He hated his own gabby mouth.
If he had simply stayed quiet from the beginning, he wouldn’t have been t with this disaster.
It could be said that Sun Zida had brought this upon himself.
Li Mingliang and Sun Zida squatted down, knowing they had no way out.
Biting the bullet, they each bit into a corner of the wooden table.
Alas, the quality of the table was too good, completely unshakable by their teeth.
“Why aren’t the two of you putting in more effort?
Do you need to help you?
My patience is very limited,” said Ye Chenfeng.
Had it not been for his status, he was sure that people like Li Mingliang and Sun Zida would resort to even more brutal thods against him.
Thus, there was no need to pity them.
As the saying goes, “Those who are pitiable often have a hateful side.” That old adage was not without rit.
Li Mingliang and Sun Zida were already biting with all their might, their teeth aching from the effort.
Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, they didn’t dare to disobey.
With the Yes’ behemoth pressure on them, they couldn’t muster any thoughts of resistance and closed their eyes, redoubling their efforts.
Sounds of “crack, crack, crack” emitted from the mouths of Li Mingliang and Sun Zida.
Their teeth popped out one by one, blood suddenly spilling from their mouths, tears welling up in their eyes.
Li Weidong, standing nearby, though resenting his son for being incompetent, couldn’t bear to see him in such a miserable state.
As the saying goes, “Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs.” Moreover, Li Weidong was especially fond of his son.
However, at this mont, he was helpless to intervene, only able to watch silently as his son’s teeth fell out one by one.
“This bet was indeed a bit unrealistic.
I’ve said I’m a reasonable person, you two can stop now,” Ye Chenfeng said, watching the situation unfold to a point he deed sufficient, and then indicating that they should stop chewing on the table.
Li Mingliang and Sun Zida seed to hear a voice from heaven.
The pain in their mouths was now numbing, and they probably would have to rely on dentures to eat from now on.
Li Weidong, hearing Ye Chenfeng finally calling a halt, let out a huge sigh of relief.
He asked cautiously, “Young Master Ye, now that this worthless guy has fulfilled his bet with you, what do you think about today’s incident?”
Zhou Yong and Shi Jianwei also pricked up their ears, eager to hear Ye Chenfeng speak words of rcy.
Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and said, “What your son just did was a promise he was supposed to keep.
As for what to do about today’s incident, we’ll do what should be done.
If you haven’t made any mistakes before, even if the higher-ups want to give you a hard ti, they probably won’t have a reason, right?
However, if you’ve been involved in any unsavory deals, then I can only say I’m sorry.”
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, the faces of Li Weidong, Zhou Yong, and Shi Jianwei changed dramatically.
Which one of them hadn’t embezzled or taken bribes?
Shi Jianwei, the president of Capital City dical University, was no exception.
Despite being just a university president, he was in charge, and he had certainly taken his fair share of bribes.
If their past transactions were thoroughly investigated, all three of them would surely end up in prison.
Li Weidong panicked, hastily saying, “Young Master Ye, you must keep your word!
Didn’t you say that if my son fulfilled his bet with you, you would let us go?”
Ye Chenfeng shook his head noncommittally and said, “Did I ever promise you anything?
I only said if your son didn’t follow through with our wager, you all should know the consequences.
I never agreed that if your son kept to the wager, I would pretend today’s incident never happened.”
“As officials of Huaxia Country, if I were a nobody without any backing today, what thods would you have used against ?
I bet you’ve done your fair share of such dealings before!
I’ve already let you off the hook.
If I really wanted to deal with you, would I need to have higher-ups co down for a thorough investigation?”
“I just fear wronging the good comrades and officials of our Huaxia Country.
As long as you have never made any mistakes before, you will surely get through this safely.
Why should you be worried then?”
Li Weidong’s lips trembled slightly, his face awash with misery.
He knew he was truly dood this ti.
Looking at Li Mingliang sitting paralyzed on the ground, mouth sared with blood, he desperately wished he could thrash him to death.
What was even the point of having this son!
Zhou Yong swallowed hard, trying his best to make his smile look natural as he said to Ye Chenfeng, “Young Master Ye, I truly had nothing to do with today’s matter!
I was deceived by Li Weidong’s lies.
If I had known his son was such a scoundrel, I would have arrested him imdiately and wouldn’t have offended you.”
With Zhou Yong having said that, how could Principal Shi Jianwei fall behind?
He hurriedly spoke, “Young Master Ye, I was also misled by Li Weidong.
We have been friends for many years, and I never expected his son to be such a disgrace.
I beg you to give a chance.”
Spouses are like birds in the sa forest, who fly separately when disaster strikes.
If even a couple could act this way, what to say of the friendship between Zhou Yong, Shi Jianwei, and Li Weidong, which was rely built on interests.
At this critical mont, fighting for their survival, Zhou Yong and Shi Jianwei didn’t mind giving Li Weidong a harsh kick if it ant their safety.
It would be well worth it.
Li Weidong, watching Zhou Yong and Shi Jianwei kick him while he was down, turned deathly pale.
He knew there was no turning back from today’s event.
He felt all strength leave his body and collapsed onto the ground, staring blankly, stupefied.
Seeing his father’s inevitable fall from grace, Li Mingliang knew his days as a privileged young master were over.
Never again would people look to him for favors.
His once superior life had quietly slipped away.
Next to Li Mingliang, Sun Zida was filled with regret.
Although Ye Chenfeng didn’t ntion him again, he knew the chances of him continuing at Capital City dical University were slim to none.
Pathetically, he was supposed to graduate next year, and now everything was ruined, all because he wanted to hitch a ride with Li Mingliang.
He certainly got on board, only to find it was a ship bound for disaster.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at Zhou Yong and Shi Jianwei and said indifferently, “Whether or not you were deceived by Li Weidong’s lies is none of my concern.
Just like I said, if you’ve done nothing shaless in the past, you’ll naturally be safe.”
Seeing Ye Chenfeng nearly done handling the situation, Duan Tianrui hurriedly said, “Grand-Teacher, you must still have to eat, right?
Let take you out for a al today!
Otherwise, if my grandfather finds out I t you and didn’t invite you for a al, he’ll definitely have sit in confinent to reflect on my actions.”
Ye Chenfeng felt that Duan Tianrui was really getting the hang of it, calling him ‘Grand-Teacher’ so comfortably, and turned to Wu Xiaofei and Wu Jie, “Xiaofei, Little Jie, let’s join Tianrui for a al, shall we?”
Then, Ye Chenfeng seed to rember sothing.
He scanned the surrounding crowd and his gaze finally rested on the busty girl.
Her sense of justice had impressed him, and he thought why not bring this busty girl into Duan Tianrui’s circle.
It would surely benefit her greatly in the future, serving as a reward for her sense of justice.
“Hey, what’s your na?
Co join us for a al.
Tianrui, this girl has good character.
Make sure to look out for her at school,” Ye Chenfeng instructed like an elder advising a junior.
