"Kid, there’s still ti for you to run now," sneered Zheng Xingdou as he moved closer to Li Feng. "Once the police arrive, you won’t be able to escape so easily."
Li Feng turned his head to look at Zheng Xingdou but ignored him.
Zheng Xingdou’s words, however, served as a reminder to the kneeling mbers of the Chen Family. They couldn’t let him escape. Noticing that the police had already climbed the steps, Chen Dong didn’t hesitate any longer. His counterattack happened at that mont.
Chen Dong pushed himself up and turned to run outside, but after kneeling for more than half an hour, his calves were numb. As he tried to run, he realized his legs weren’t cooperating, and with a thud, he fell flat on the ground.
Chen Dong was visibly embarrassed. Looking up at the police standing in front of him, he quickly scrambled to his feet: "Comrade officer, I want to make an accusation."
"What do you want to accuse soone of?"
"I want to accuse him of gathering a crowd to fight, of hitting , and additionally, I suspect he’s plotting to kill my uncle and seize my Chen Family’s Century Group," Chen Dong loudly declared the nurous charges against Li Feng.
"Comrade officer, all these injuries on our bodies were caused by him. You have to give us justice."
"Yes, those guys in black suits outside, they’re his underlings. Arrest him quickly."
"And he stole my uncle’s body from the hospital, trying to destroy evidence, to cremate my uncle’s body."
The kneeling mbers of the Chen Family stood up when they saw the police, excitedly airing their grievances one after another, their eyes filled with scornful satisfaction as they looked at Li Feng. Mr. Li, let’s see what you’ll do this ti.
"Oh, we’ll have soone take your statents about these accusations later. Could you please let through first?"
The Chen Family mbers stepped aside, following behind the officer with cold eyes. Kid, just wait to be handcuffed.
"Are you Li Feng?"
The newcor looked at Li Feng.
Li Feng looked back at the man, not recognizing this gentle-looking middle-aged man with glasses. However, he saw Han Dong in the back and surmised that this person must be soone important.
"I am."
"Mm, I’m not here about tonight’s incident. That’s not my responsibility. My purpose for coming is to present you with an award."
"This award, due to certain reasons, cannot be publicly presented to you, so I had to make a trip here myself, to give it to you privately."
"Li Feng, in recognition of the outstanding contributions you have made to Sea City, after a unanimous decision by the city’s officials, we present you with this Sea City Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons award. We hope you will continue your efforts and make even more contributions."
The middle-aged man cheerfully handed over the certificate of honor to Li Feng.
This turn of events left everyone around them utterly astonished. What kind of dramatic maneuver was this? Wasn’t this person supposed to be here to arrest him?
The Chen Family mbers were shattered. The Sea City Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons was a prestigious award in Sea City. With over twenty million people, only ten a year were qualified to be on the list.
Although it was only an honor and didn’t co with any particular advantages, the recognition itself made many things easier when it ca to policy or dealing with the governnt.
Gulp.
Su Yuqing swallowed hard, nudging Jiang Linda beside her, "What’s going on now? Sea City’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons?"
Su Yuqing was beyond shocked.
Her boss qualified for the top ten outstanding individuals?
What good deeds had he done?
Why didn’t she know about any of this? It seed to her that ever since she t him, he had just been causing trouble, and the bigger the trouble, the more he caused. Tonight’s affairs were looking to be earth-shatteringly worriso.
She thought that when the police ca, they would surely slap on the handcuffs and take him away – leaving the reasoning for later back at the station.
And as for Li Feng’s ridiculous excuse that he was called ’Crown Prince,’ the police would have to be ghosts to believe it.
Did they think everyone else was a fool?
"If you ask —who do I ask?" Jiang Linda was also feeling worn out. Their boss was way too much of a handful, and after all his wrangling, he always managed to end things in so bizarrely miraculous way.
It commanded respect, truly.
"Dad, he’s one of the Sea City’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons?"
Zheng Xing was practically speechless. How was this possible? Whose son was this kid, carrying such clout? He recognized the respectable-looking middle-aged man with glasses; despite his easygoing appearance, he was a top player in Sea City’s circle of power, soone with a decisive vote.
Most crucially, at this sensitive ti, the middle-aged man brought this notable award certificate, sending a signal that was impossible to ignore.
Zheng Xingdou also frowned for a mont, "I’m not deaf, nor blind. This kid indeed exceeded my expectations."
"Mr. Zheng, you’re here too?"
The respectable middle-aged man also spotted Zheng Xingdou, who snorted in response, "Of course, I am here. This Top Ten Outstanding Young Person has taken over my old man’s wake. I need to settle this matter."
The respectable middle-aged man coughed in response, giving Li Feng another look.
"Mr. Zheng, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Sure."
The respectable middle-aged man turned back and said to those behind him, "My business here is done; the rest is up to you guys."
He then directly escorted Zheng Xingdou outside.
"Li Feng, can you calm down a bit? We’re very busy, you know." Jin Beibei gave Li Feng an irritated glare.
"Cough."
The middle-aged man coughed from the center.
"Li Feng, this is our Director Jin."
Han Dong made the introduction.
"Young man, you’ve caused us quite a bit of trouble, but we really liked the gift you sent. However, you owe an explanation for tonight’s events."
"Of course."
"You’ve probably seen the news over the past few days. My sworn elder brother suddenly passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage, and my sister-in-law entrusted with handling my elder brother’s funeral."
"As you know, my elder brother was the chairman of the Century Group. The event called for the proper level of dignity and display, so I specifically hired several security companies to bring all their security guards to the scene, yes, those people you saw outside."
"Security?"
Jin Beibei rolled her eyes, looking at Li Feng: "Li Feng, quit beating around the bush. Then, what’s this about those people calling you ’Crown Prince’?"
"Oh, that? I honestly don’t know."
"Bullshit, don’t even try to deny it!" Chen Dong pointed at Li Feng. Right then, he was going all in; if Li Feng wasn’t taken down this year, the Chen family wouldn’t have any good days ahead.
"May I say a few words, officers?"
"Mm, who are you?"
"I’m the legal representative of the Security Company, um, here’s our company’s business registration certificate and our business license."
"Our company is committed to serving our clients with utmost dedication; our clients are our God."
Bai He said cheerfully, still pulling out various company certificates and licenses from a briefcase.
