Chapter 520: I Still Prefer Your Rebellious Attitude Earlier

Chapter 520: I Still Prefer Your Rebellious Attitude Earlier

Hunter's Camp.

When the previously arrogant Feng Wu fell to his knees with a "thud" in front of Deng Shirong, everyone present drew a sharp breath.

They had all heard the way Feng Wu had addressed the caller on the phone just moments ago—it was a provincial leader! Although Liu Sancai and Chu Junsheng had stood by Deng Shirong earlier, showing no fear of Feng Wu, it was because they knew Feng Wu was only the nephew of that leader. Unless the matter escalated to the point of hospitalization, Feng Wu would never dare to bother his uncle over such a minor incident. This was the main reason Liu Sancai and Chu Junsheng were not afraid of Feng Wu.

But now, Feng Wu's powerful backing, his uncle who was a provincial leader, had personally called him. Although no one heard what was said, seeing Feng Wu kneel before Grandpa Deng after the call, they understood the weight of the phone call Grandpa Deng had made.

"Sorry... I... I was wrong!"

Feng Wu knelt before Deng Shirong, his face full of fear as he began to apologize. He could not have dreamed that the old man in front of him was actually a hidden powerhouse.

Deng Shirong said with deep meaning, "I still prefer your rebellious attitude earlier. How about you try to be that way again?"

Feng Wu trembled and said, "No... I dare not!"

Deng Shirong said calmly, "What do you have to be afraid of? You were so arrogant just now, looking like you wanted to kill me, and even called your brother-in-law a coward. Now, how did you become a coward yourself? Where did your courage go?"

Feng Wu's whole body shook as he bowed his head. "I was wrong. Please, great man, do not hold a grudge against a small man, forgive my youthful ignorance."

Deng Shirong said, "If doing something wrong can be solved with a superficial apology, why do we need the police?"

Feng Wu was very familiar with such scenes. In the past, it was always others apologizing to him. Now, it was his turn to apologize to someone else.

Because he was familiar with this, Feng Wu did not hesitate to start slapping himself, apologizing with each slap. "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"

Xie Xiaosong did not dare to plead for mercy until his brother-in-law had slapped himself a dozen times. Then, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, speaking humbly. "Grandpa Deng, I am truly sorry for disrupting your meal. Ah Wu really knows he was wrong. I hope you can give him a chance to make amends."

Deng Shirong ignored Xie Xiaosong and looked at Feng Wu, who was still slapping himself. Seeing that his right cheek was almost swollen, he asked, "Do you admit your mistake? Should we also settle this on the streets? Time and place, you choose, and I will definitely be there."

Feng Wu shook his head like a rattle. "I dare not. I admit, I really admit. Please, Grandpa, spare me this once."

He was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Today, he had accidentally run into a hard wall, and he was truly humbled.

After all, even his uncle could not stand up to the person behind Grandpa Deng, who must be a high-ranking official. How could he not be humbled in front of such a person?

Deng Shirong said coolly, "I don't care if you truly admit your mistake or not. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Just pray that your family's company always pays its taxes legally."

Feng Wu's face turned pale. He did not know if his family's company had always paid its taxes, but he knew that the old man had made a phone call earlier, threatening to shut down his family's company. At the time, he had laughed it off, but now he could not laugh anymore.

If his family's company was really shut down and found to have evaded taxes, the consequences would be severe. His father would definitely break his legs when he returned.

Thinking of this, Feng Wu regretted it deeply and immediately kowtowed to Deng Shirong. "Grandpa Deng, please, spare me. I really know I was wrong!"

Deng Shirong snorted. "I already told you, once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. You think you can just kneel and beg me, and everything will be forgiven? You think you can call me old and useless and get away with it without any consequences?

Do you think it's possible? If someone else offended you like this, would you let them off easily? Feng Wu, you are an adult. You must take responsibility for your actions.

This time, my grandson and I came to the hunting ground with Xiao Liu and Xiao Chu. Their backgrounds are already quite impressive, and yet you still dared to bully my granddaughter right in front of them. Imagine how you must treat ordinary people.

I even suspect how many young girls you have defiled.

So, before I delve deeper, get lost!"

Hearing this, Feng Wu wished he could slap himself again. Why had he been so reckless earlier? Now, the retribution had come! Worst of all, if he could not gain the other party's forgiveness, neither his uncle nor his parents would spare him. He... was completely finished!!!

Thinking of the wrath he would face from his uncle and parents, Feng Wu's face lost all color, and his body shook uncontrollably.

"Grandpa Deng, I am truly sorry for disturbing your meal. We will leave right away."

Xie Xiaosong knew that the situation was beyond repair. Staying to beg for forgiveness would only make things worse. He went over to support his trembling brother-in-law and prepared to leave the hunting ground, intending to call his father later to see how to resolve the matter.

Feng Wu, supported by his brother-in-law, looked completely devastated, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance.

Although Xie Xiaosong's mind was in chaos, his manners were ingrained, and he still remembered to greet Liu Sancai and the others. "Young Master Liu, Young Master Chu, I truly apologize for the disturbance today. When you return to Harbin, I will set up a table to make amends."

Liu Sancai and Chu Junsheng did not say much, only nodding in acknowledgment.

Soon, Xie Xiaosong and his group left the house in a hurry.

Seeing this, Director Ge said apologetically, "Old Master Deng, Young Master Liu, Young Master Chu, I am truly sorry for this incident, which has ruined your mood."

Deng Shirong smiled. "Director Ge, this is not your fault. Why don't we sit down and have a drink?"

Director Ge smiled in return. "It would be my honor, but please start without me. I think Young Master Xie and his group won't be interested in staying to hunt. I will go and handle the situation and then come back to join you for a drink."

"Go ahead!"

Once Director Ge left, Chu Junsheng and Liu Sancai looked at Grandpa Deng with much more respect.

Before, they had shown respect to Grandpa Deng, but it was the kind of respect a young person shows to an elder. Now, it was different. Besides the respect for an elder, there was also respect for power.

Although Director Ge and others called them "Young Master Chu" and "Young Master Liu," giving them plenty of face, the things they could do were very limited compared to Grandpa Deng, who could shut down a company with a single phone call.

Another call, and the matter was resolved with the powerful backing behind Grandpa Deng suppressing Feng Wu's uncle.

This was the kind of terrifying power! Chu Junsheng and Liu Sancai, who had been in society for a few years and came from official families, understood the awe that power commanded more than ordinary people.

As for Chu Junyao and Tang Yun, the college students, they had not yet left the campus and did not have such complex thoughts. They were simply excited to see Grandpa Deng's powerful display in subduing the arrogant Feng Wu.

Chu Junyao even boldly asked, "Grandpa Deng, are you a high-ranking official?"

This question drew everyone's attention to Deng Shirong, all eager to know his identity.

Deng Shirong laughed. "Junyao, I am still a rural resident. I haven't even been a village chief, let alone a high-ranking official."

Chu Junyao was surprised. "Grandpa Deng, then how are you so powerful? You can make Feng Wu's uncle call and scold him with just one phone call."

Tang Yun also asked curiously, "Yes, Grandpa Deng, isn't Feng Wu's uncle a provincial leader? How did you resolve it with just one phone call?"

Everyone was extremely curious and looked forward to Deng Shirong's answer.

Deng Shirong took a sip of the pigeon soup his granddaughter had just refilled for him and smiled. "If you want to know the reason, ask my granddaughter Dong'er."

Chu Junyao immediately turned to look at the little Dong'er sitting beside her, her eyes full of anticipation. "Lili, tell us quickly!"

Seeing her dorm mates' curious gazes, little Dong'er decided not to hide anything and smiled. "The reason is simple. Although my grandfather has never been an official, my eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and third aunt are all officials. Now you understand, right?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Chu Junyao asked, "Lili, what positions do your eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and third aunt hold?"

Little Dong'er said proudly, "My eldest uncle, third uncle, and third aunt hold positions similar to Uncle Chu and Uncle Liu. As for my second uncle, he holds the same position as Feng Wu's uncle, but Feng Wu's uncle is not in the Standing Committee, while my second uncle is."

The fact that little Dong'er's family had three full-hall-level officials was already jaw-dropping, but to have one more, a provincial leader who was also in the Standing Committee, was almost unbelievable.

No wonder Grandpa Deng was so powerful, able to easily suppress Feng Wu's uncle with a single phone call.

For Chu Junsheng and Liu Sancai, when they encountered problems outside, they had to call home and seek their fathers' approval, with no guarantee that their fathers would intervene. After all, they were sons.

But Grandpa Deng was different. When he encountered problems, he didn't need to seek anyone's approval; he could make decisions directly. Whatever his sons could do, they would do without hesitation. This was the difference between being a father and a son.

Of course, it also depended on the person. If a father was clueless and only caused trouble for his son, that would be a different story.

After being shocked, Chu Junyao couldn't help but laugh and said, "That Feng Wu dared to provoke Lili, he must have had the worst luck in his life."

Liu Jingjing nodded and said, "Exactly, daring to have designs on our Lili, he must be blind as a dog."

Tang Yun smiled and said, "That Feng Wu caused so much trouble for his family, I bet his parents will give him a good beating when he gets home. He might even lose his legs."

Jiang Mo said, "He deserves it. A thug like him should get a lesson he'll never forget."

The other girls also joined in criticizing Feng Wu. As women, they hated guys like Feng Wu the most, especially those with powerful backgrounds.

...

On the other side.

Xie Xiaosong supported his brother-in-law out of the Hunter's Camp house, then said to his bodyguard who had been following him, "Zhang Hu, go handle the bill and leave some money for the two beauties. We'll wait for you in the car."

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Okay, I got it!"

"Xie Shao! Feng Shao!"

The camp leader, Ge, who had followed them out, came over to greet them.

Xie Xiaosong said, "Camp Leader Ge, I'm really sorry for the trouble. We'll leave first, and come back another time."

Camp Leader Ge didn't say much, shook hands with Xie Xiaosong, and said, "Xie Shao, remember to call me next time."

After a few polite exchanges, Xie Xiaosong supported his brother-in-law, who was in a daze, into the car.

Not long after, Zhang Hu finished handling the matter and came over.

The driver, naturally, was Zhang Hu.

Xie Xiaosong said, "Give your dad a call, Feng Wu."

Feng Wu trembled all over, at a loss for what to do, and said, "Brother-in-L aw, if the company gets in trouble, my dad will never forgive me. What should I do?"

"What should you do? You ask me, and I ask who?"

Xie Xiaosong, who had been holding back his anger, suddenly erupted, startling even Zhang Hu, who was driving. He roared at his brother-in L aw, "Damn it, if you had listened to me earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. This time, you're not just in deep trouble, but even I'll face consequences when I go back. Do you understand?"

"Damn it, I must be crazy to bring you here."

If it were before, his brother-in-law wouldn't dare yell at him like this, but now, Feng Wu was too scared to respond, mainly because he had caused too much trouble.

After Xie Xiaosong vented his anger, and saw his brother-in-law was silent, he slightly calmed down and said, "Running away won't help. The only way is to face it. Call your dad and explain everything clearly. Try to minimize the damage as much as you can.

I hope your family's company hasn't evaded taxes, otherwise the trouble will be even bigger."

Feng Wu knew he couldn't avoid it and could only take out his phone, trembling, to call his father.

As soon as the call connected, Feng Wu's father's anxious voice came through, "I'm busy now, what's up?"

Feng Wu glanced at his brother-in-law, bit his lip, and said, "Dad, I... I caused trouble!"

"Now the company is in trouble, I..."

At this point, Feng Wu's father immediately understood and, suppressing his anger, asked, "What trouble did you cause? Explain everything clearly, don't hide anything."

Unable to avoid it, Feng Wu had to recount everything that had happened to his dad in detail. During this process, though he couldn't see his father's face over the phone, he could tell from the increasingly heavy breathing that his father was getting angrier and angrier.

Sure enough, when Feng Wu mentioned that his uncle had called and said those words, Feng Wu's father couldn't hold back his anger any longer and roared, "You ungrateful son, you're going to ruin the Feng family! !

I knew why our company's clients suddenly started calling to cancel their cooperation, it's all because of you, you ungrateful son! And you even dragged your uncle into this mess. What kind of curse did I have to bear to have a son like you!!!"

Hearing his father's thunderous roar, Feng Wu trembled even more. He let his father scold him for about three to four minutes before he finally said, full of regret, "Dad, I'm sorry!"

"What good does saying sorry to me do?"

Feng Wu's father said through gritted teeth, "I hope this hasn't affected your uncle too much, otherwise you'll be the sinner of the Feng family. Get back here immediately, and I'll call your uncle to see what the situation is on his end."

Hearing the dial tone, Feng Wu had no choice but to beg his brother-in-law again, "Brother-in-law, I don't want to go back. Please help me. If I go back, my dad will definitely break my legs."

Xie Xiaosong was silent for a moment before he said, "Let's go back to Harbin first, tell my dad about this, and see what he thinks."

Feng Wu opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
