Chapter Fifty-Three: A Prominent Family Background

  Chen Gong was also humble, "Xiao Jie, don't worry about it, as long as nothing happens to us, that's all that matters."

  Xiao Wang led the way in front, Chen Hao and Chen Gong, Xiao Xingya followed behind, all the way to the front of Knife Scar. Chen Hao patted Xiao Wang's shoulder, "Xiao Wang, you go find a car to send you to the hospital for a check-up, okay?"

  Xiao Wang looked very miserable, "Leader, I'm fine, it's all external injuries. As long as the chief and his wife are okay, that's all that matters. I'll go to the hospital for a check-up first. If everything is alright, I'll continue to accompany the chief and his wife for the time being."

  Chen Hao nodded, turned around, pulled out his belt and lashed it at the scar-faced man, "You sons of bitches are courting death, daring to touch my brother and personal soldiers. Be careful or I'll drag your whole family out and kill them."

  The scar looked up at Chen Hua's military rank, two bars and four stars. Oh my god, this is a senior colonel level, a big shot in the military, and he himself was just the leader of a few hundred thugs, even if he borrowed some guts, he wouldn't dare to mess with him, under his command were at least tens of thousands of troops.

  The scar-faced man immediately knelt down on the ground, "Big brother, I really didn't know, if I knew you were military personnel, even if I had a few more guts, I wouldn't dare to mess with you."

  Chen Hao slapped Knife Scar again, "Apologize to my brother and sister-in-law."

  Scar quickly kowtowed, "I'm sorry, brother, sister-in-law, I was wrong, spare my life, spare me," while slapping his own face.

  At that time, Mr. Guo had already called the Secretary of Jianghe Municipal Party Committee to bring more than 100 police officers to the scene, but unexpectedly, the scene had been sealed off by the military, and the Director of the Public Security Bureau was leading the way in front of the Secretary, "I am the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Jianghe City, this is the Standing Committee Member of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Jianghe Municipal Party Committee, we have something to do inside, please give us a way out."

  Soldiers naturally have to give face to the local government, "You can go in, but don't head towards 'Jianghe Yipian Hong', that place has already been fully cordoned off by our 25th Group Army. Someone actually dared to provoke our leaders, they're asking for death. Your local leaders can let a few people through at most, the police behind are not allowed to enter."

  Mr. Guo and the municipal party secretary both came to their senses, it seems that something big has happened today. The secretary said to Mr. Guo, "Brother Guo, it seems we can't bring people in, just us few will go take a look. If your son really offended someone he shouldn't have, then there's nothing left but to yield."

  Mr. Guo was unhappy, is there anyone in Jiangnan Province that I can't afford to offend? The deputy commander of the 25th Group Army will rush over immediately, he's my iron brother. So, I'll give him a call and we'll wait for him here before going in together.

  Twenty minutes later, Mr. Guo, the municipal party secretary and deputy military commander accompanied by the director of public security entered the cordon line and headed towards "Jianghe Yipian Hong".

  The deputy commander had already inquired about it before he came, and today it was the deputy commander of the infantry division, Chen Huan, who led the people over. That's a young master who doesn't dare to provoke. If it's just an ordinary relationship with the young master, the deputy commander may be able to help Mr. Guo out. But if it's an iron-clad relationship with the young master, then the deputy commander can only come to mediate. Mr. Guo naturally didn't understand the ins and outs of this matter.

  A group of people walked out, seeing the "rivers and lakes all red", and naturally saw five tanks at the door. Mr. Guo also gave a cold hum, his heart suddenly rising and falling, looking at the very calm deputy commander beside him, thinking about his own stormy years in Jiangnan Province for over a decade, his confidence rose again.

  Upon entering the courtyard, Old Man Guo shouted loudly, "Which of you doesn't want to live and dares to move my son? Bring your leader over!"

  The municipal party secretary retreated as soon as he arrived at the door, and the military had already intervened. Old Guo, why did you call me? I won't be of any use here.

  Chen Gong followed Chen Hao into Mr. Guo's line of sight, and the two groups of people stared at each other for several seconds before Chen Gong walked forward, followed by several soldiers carrying weapons, with several gun barrels pointing directly at Mr. Guo's chest. Mr. Guo looked at the deputy commander with a bit of fear, and the deputy commander made a gesture to the soldiers, who then put away their weapons.

  The deputy commander spoke up, "Please ask Commander Chen to come over, I have something to discuss with him privately."

  Chen Hao was not far away and naturally heard the deputy commander's voice, walked up to the front, pulled the deputy commander aside, and the deputy commander spoke first, "Chen Hao, what's going on? What did Mr. Guo's son offend you?" The deputy commander asked tentatively.

  "Boss, don't get involved in this matter. That man's son offended my younger brother. Can you believe his audacity? He even wants to arrest my younger brother and mess with my sister-in-law. How serious is that?" Chen Hao said angrily.

  The deputy commander knew it was bad as soon as he heard it, and the nature of this matter is indeed serious. "Chen Hao, discuss with your brother how to resolve this privately, after all, if it's dragged on until morning, it won't be good, being seen by citizens in broad daylight will have a very bad influence."

  The two then walked to the place where Chen Gong and Guo Boss were at odds. Guo Boss saw the deputy commander coming over, thinking that he would definitely win, at least they should retreat, so he started "negotiating" with Chen Gong, "Young man, let the military withdraw first, we'll talk about how to compensate for my son's broken wrist."

  Chen Gong has been suffering in Fuhai for some time, busy to the point of exhaustion. Now that he finally has the opportunity to vent his frustrations, why would he be willing to negotiate with Guo's boss? "Is it Old Man Guo? Alright, let's talk then. My condition is that your son's wrist must be confirmed broken and cannot be treated. As for the rest, I haven't thought of anything yet, so just this one condition for now."

  Mr. Guo was furious, "You little brat, don't give me that attitude!"

  Chen Hao walked over and heard that one foot kicked in Guo's belly, Guo immediately squatted on the ground holding his belly, his expression was very painful. "Damn it, who gave you the face to be so shameless? You few, quickly find out which hospital his son is in, drag him over for me, only when he's crippled can I let them leave."

  The municipal party secretary kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, hoping not to get burned himself. How could Guo Lao Da, who held sway over this region, be humiliated like this?

  The deputy commander-in-chief has also received many benefits from Guo's boss over the years, but he also knows Chen Hao's temper and does not dare to confront him directly. The deputy commander-in-chief walked over to help up Guo's boss who was squatting down and called him aside.

  "Director Guo saw that the deputy commander had not come forward to help him, this time he was done for. 'Great leader, what has my son offended someone about?'"

  The deputy commander did not hide it, "Your son offended the younger brother of that military officer, and the name of that military officer is Chen Hao. Many years ago, his ancestors were meritorious founders of the Huaxia country, with a prominent family background, which is a level I couldn't reach even if I wanted to. I won't make it clear to you now, in short, all you need to know now is that his current family status is not inferior to that of his ancestors."

  Guo's old boss was already unsteady on his feet, if not for the vice commander pulling him up, he would have ended up kneeling on the ground again. This unfilial son, always causing trouble wherever he goes, this time he provoked someone he shouldn't have, it serves as a lesson to him.

  Mr. Guo straightened his clothes and thoughts, walked to the front of Chen Gong and Chen Hao, bowed 90 degrees, "Sorry everyone, it's my son who didn't see clearly, if I've offended you, this old man will apologize for him. Tomorrow morning, I'll personally bring 10 million in cash as a token of my sincerity. Please, considering I'm his father, can he be spared the punishment of cutting off his wrist?"

  Chen Gong looked at Xiao Xingya, he completely relied on Xiao Xingya's opinion. Seeing Xiao Xingya shaking her head, "Mr. Guo, I'm really sorry, we don't want the money, your son's hand is already set."

  At this time, Guo Shao had already been brought over by several soldiers, with bandages on his hands. Mr. Guo saw his son kneeling on the ground and shouted, "You ungrateful son!" He kicked Guo Shao to the ground with one foot.

  "Deal with his hands as you please, I'll send 10 million in cash tomorrow morning," said Mr. Guo, biting his teeth. He left the scene without looking back and nodded to the Deputy Commander and the Municipal Party Secretary on his way out.

  A loud scream followed, and a palm flew out. This time, Guo Shao's palm and wrist could no longer be connected. Xiao Xingya did not close her eyes, still looking at Guo Shao's miserable state. "Alright, Chen Gong, let's go back to the hotel to rest first."

  Chen Gong nodded, Chen Huan shouted loudly, "Comrades, fall in!" Xiao Wang then made a hand gesture to the soldiers in the distance, and the troops lined up neatly, ran out of the courtyard, and the motorized troops and infantry on the street also retreated in an orderly manner.

  Chen Gong wrapped his arms around Xiao Xingya's waist, "Ya'er, it's alright now, we almost went to another world just now."

  Xiao Xingya also let out a sigh of relief, "Right, so I've been shaking my head and didn't want to let him off, our mental loss is worth one of his hands! By the way, Chen Gong, introduce this military officer."

  Chen Hao took the initiative to introduce himself, and Xiao Xingya also learned about their relationship. One grandfather and grandmother, two fathers are close brothers, it seems that Chen Gong's family background is likely to be a high-ranking official in the Great Xia Empire.

  Chen Hao was very enthusiastic, so after returning to the military district hotel, he specially ordered the hotel staff to open a small stove and set up a table of wine, insisting on drinking with his brothers and sisters-in-law.

  Although Xiao Xingya repeatedly emphasized that she and Chen Gong were not in a romantic relationship, Chen Hao refused to change his words. How could such a beautiful sister-in-law be let go?

  Xiao Xingya also had a feeling of being invigorated after narrowly escaping death, so she picked up her wine glass and started drinking the red wine. "General Chen, today you've made such a big show of force, I'm afraid that if word gets out tomorrow, it will have a very bad influence. Is this what you call 'disturbing the people' for your national defense army? Don't you worry about that?"

  Chen Hao downed a glass of wine, "Xing Ya, how many times do I have to tell you, you and Chen Gong are the same, just call me brother. We really did disturb the people tonight, and tomorrow I'll have to write a self-criticism report to the military district command, a very deep one too. It's just that we found an excuse, the public security police were dispatched to suppress a group of knife-wielding thugs, our troops went to help, trying to cover it up. No big deal, at worst I'll get a warning."

  After a few people communicated, Chen Huan knew that the two were here to inspect the Jinxiu Industrial Park, and this park was located in the main urban area of Jianghe City, close to the military district hotel, so he let the two stay here for the time being, and every day, let the military vehicle pick them up.

  Chen Gong listened and hastily stopped him, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he let Chen Hao find a place with a car plate number, after all, taking a taxi wasn't that convenient, anyway they were here for inspection, they had to find a Honda to put on a show.

  Three men were full of wine and food, Chen Gong, who couldn't hold his liquor, had already fallen asleep under the table.

  Xiao Xingya had the security guard help Chen Hao back to rest first, and then she helped Chen Gong herself because they lived in adjacent rooms.

  It's okay to live on the second floor, Xiao Xingya struggled to support Chen Gong and slowly walked up, Chen Gong was half asleep at this time, opened the door of Chen Gong's room, Xiao Xingya gently put Chen Gong on the bed, helped him take off his clothes and pants, a woman helping a drunk man do these things, exhausted to death, sweating profusely.

  Finally taking off her socks, Xiao Xingya let out a sigh of relief, took out tissues to wipe away sweat, at this time Chen Gong was lying on the bed, eyes closed, his hand suddenly pulled Xiao Xingya's hand over.
