Chapter 1028: Forgive You?
"Haha, are you here to laugh at me?!"
Seeing Guo Shuxian approach, Zhong Fei struggled to open his eyes, his face clouded with gloom. Although he used to be this woman's subordinate, and even his current position was achieved with her help, he is now the Mayor of Hua City, and his status has long since changed!
To him, Guo Shuxian is nothing more than an outdated elder. Whether or not he gives her face depends entirely on his mood, and once Guo Shuxian stands on the opposite side, Zhong Fei won't spare her any face!
What made Zhong Fei angrier was that this woman actually stood beside this kid! This kid is the main culprit who bullied his son and made him lose face so badly now!
Previously, he had some thoughts about Guo Shuxian. After all, Guo Shuxian, despite her age, remained charming and more attractive, and being single only added to Zhong Fei's temptation.
But from past to present, Guo Shuxian had always ignored his advances, which was fine, since others can't have her either.
But now this woman is standing on the opposite side... this instantly turned his previous love for Guo Shuxian into endless anger. This woman, for whom he treated her well before, even became mayor to get closer to her!
"No, I'm just here to tell you a fact..."
Guo Shuxian's eyes moved slightly, her brows knitted as she glanced at Hao Jian, saying to Zhong Fei, "This man is not someone you can afford to provoke..."
"I've told you this before—if possible, it's best not to make an enemy of him. Consider this my final advice to you!"
Guo Shuxian's words were extremely calm, as if stating something completely ordinary. Even while she was still in office, she was well aware of Hao Jian's influence over Hua City, and knew all too well about some of his dealings.
A man like him is not someone Zhong Fei, merely the Mayor of Hua City, can provoke. If it weren't for considering this guy as a former subordinate and colleague, she wouldn't bother saying this much.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mayor Guo, famous for her integrity, to say such off-the-wall things!" But Zhong Fei didn't believe Guo Shuxian's words; instead, he showed a mocking expression, laughing loudly, "Then why don't you tell me, what exactly is this guy's identity?!"
"I, Zhong Fei, the Mayor of Hua City, why should I fear this guy, why can't I provoke him?!"
If he were in Capital City right now, he'd believe some of the things Guo Shuxian said, but right now he's in Hua City, and anyone he can't provoke he's crystal clear about, and there's no sign of Hao Jian on that list!
Upon hearing this, Guo Shuxian's eyes remained calm as she looked at the ragged Zhong Fei, shaking her head, "Zhong Fei, you've worked under me for so many years, you should know I never lie..."
"In Hua City, I've emphasized many times there is one person you must never provoke. If I recall correctly, I emphasized it just over a month ago..."
As Guo Shuxian spoke, Zhong Fei's face revealed a look of contemplation. A few seconds later, his face suddenly turned deathly pale, lips trembling, "You... you're talking about... that person?!"
"It seems you've remembered, there was no information about this person in the list I gave you all, not because I wouldn't give you, but because I couldn't..."
After giving Hao Jian a glance, Guo Shuxian looked again at Zhong Fei, who was lying on the ground, his face pale, speaking in a calm tone, still without any fluctuation.
She hadn't forgotten what Zhong Fei's son had just said about her, and she didn't believe this guy wouldn't insult her...
When a woman holds a grudge, it can be very terrifying!............
"He is Hao Jian, the most powerful person in Hua City, and the one senior officials in Hua City fear and dread the most. Now that you've become mayor, I'm sure you'll soon realize his status..."
After saying this, Zhong Fei's face had long lost any color. Even without needing Guo Shuxian to explain, he had guessed Hao Jian's identity. After all, since Guo Shuxian's first sentence, he suddenly remembered about this matter!
Damn, how could I forget such an important thing?! This... this guy...
After all, he was also Deputy Mayor and had investigated the person Guo Shuxian mentioned, and facts proved the news he received was exactly the same as what Guo Shuxian said!
Knowing such a person existed in Hua City made an unstoppable fear in his heart spread endlessly, just like now, because this person's identity is incredibly terrifying!
"Spice Ginger, knock them all unconscious..."
Seeing this, Hao Jian also glanced at Spice Ginger, motioned with his mouth, and softly spoke.
"Hehe, sure thing!"....
Spice Ginger responded with a bizarre laugh, then with a wave of his hand, directly knocked Wei Long unconscious. The same method was applied to the others. Spice Ginger wasn't affected by Hao Jian's killing intent, so naturally, Wei Long and others weren't affected either, but the upcoming matters aren't something these spoiled children can witness...
"That's all I have to say, how you choose is up to you. I can only say even as mayor, you can't afford to provoke Hao Jian..."
"Haha, you make it sound like I've become a bit embarrassed."
Seeing Guo Shuxian finish speaking and return, Hao Jian touched his nose, self-mockingly commented.
"We've all witnessed your capabilities. If it weren't for Che Xiaoxiao, I wouldn't even bother with you!" Guo Shuxian rolled her eyes at Hao Jian, then turned to walk toward Zhao Yating.
Just as she was about to move, Hao Jian suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. The faint sound of laughter at this moment made her pretty face suddenly blush.
"Hehe, my Little Xianxian, you're defending me so fiercely. Have you fallen for me?"
"Nonsense!"
With a snort, Guo Shuxian shook off Hao Jian's hand, gave him a fierce glare, and left, taking Zhao Yating's hand and walking away to face Spice Ginger and the others.
"Hehe."
He touched his nose and took a deep breath of the fragrance, his face showing intoxication. Hao Jian also chuckled lightly, then threw away these distracting thoughts, lowered his head, and looked at Zhong Fei, whose expression was uncertain.
"So, have you figured out how you want to die?"
"Young Master Hao! It's I who should die!"
Just as Hao Jian's words fell, Zhong Fei, after much consideration, finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, showing a look of respect on his face, but deep in those eyes, there was hidden fear.
"I… I was blind, please spare us, I… I can give you anything you want!"
"As long as you spare us, I'll be your most loyal servant!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's eyes squinted slightly, flickering with sarcasm, and he sneered, "What I heard before was not this kind of words. It seemed you planned to have someone come to kill me... "
"No! No! I… I, Zhong Fei, swear to the heavens, if I have such thoughts, may I be struck by lightning five times!"
Sweat on his forehead slowly flowed down, the fear on his face surfaced.
If he doesn't beg for mercy now, he might not even be able to step out the door. Now his power, compared to Hao Jian, is much weaker, if he continues to face Hao Jian with a tough attitude, he believes that it won't take even a second and he would vanish from this world!
As long as he survives, there's a chance to fight back! Perhaps now he cannot provoke Hao Jian, but it doesn't mean he won't be able to in the future!
He's only forty-five now, still twenty years away from retirement age! In these twenty years, he can do many, many things, furthermore, he doesn't believe Hao Jian won't undergo any changes in these twenty years!
As soon as Hao Jian shows any weakness, and if he has the strength, the horn for a counterattack will sound, with his means, this day won't be far away.
But the premise to accomplish these 'feats' is that Hao Jian lets him go now!
"Be my lackey?"
His eyes squinting, a sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, he smiled, "I'm not short of subordinates around me, just lackeys, I don't need, especially lackeys like you!"
"As for letting you go, that's possible..."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Fei's face showed great joy, he could finally leave this troublesome place!
"However..."
Turning the tone, Hao Jian said nonchalantly, "Your son, I won't let him go..."
"No way!"
Just as Hao Jian's words ended, a roar erupted from Zhong Fei's mouth, his face darkened, looking at Hao Jian, he growled, "Hao Jian, your power is strong, I admit this, I'm not your match, but if you want to touch my son, you should consider the consequences!"
"Crack..."
The response to his words was a sound of bones snapping, Zhong Fei at once turned his head difficultly, seeing the scene before him, his face turned shockingly pale, his eyes nearly burst with anger!
"Ah! Kid! You're asking to die!"
Suddenly, a roar filled with anger and despair erupted from Zhong Fei's throat, his eyes instantly turned red, two lines of old tears flowed involuntarily down...
And it was all just because Hao Jian had broken Zhong Xing's foot. Under Hao Jian's foot, Zhong Xing's right leg was twisted unnaturally, and faintly the protruding bone could still be seen, though under the skin it wasn't fully exposed.
Luckily Zhong Xing had already passed out from Hao Jian's killing intent, otherwise, this kind of injury, with his willpower, might have already died from the pain.
"Breaking your son's leg counts as the bill for his previous arrogance!"
