Wei Song, Bai Mei, Guo Xiaoyan, Xiao Lengyue, and everyone in the bar were stunned into silence!
No one could have ever imagined that Wang Haiyang, the powerful director of the Dachang City Police Bureau, would actually bow and apologize to Chu Lingtian, a seemingly ordinary man.
The most shocked were the two beautiful women, Bai Mei and Guo Xiaoyan. They knew Chu Lingtian's true identity, so they could never have dreamed that such an important figure as Wang Haiyang would be so respectful to Chu Lingtian, a mere underground parking lot security guard.
"What, what is going on? What's wrong with Director Wang?"
"Why is Director Wang so respectful to this young man surnamed Chu?"
"No way, a man of Director Wang's status and power would bow and apologize to an ordinary person? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!"
"It's incredible. Director Wang Haiyang watched his son being strangled by Chu Lingtian, but instead of immediately rescuing him, he bowed respectfully and begged for mercy..."
"... " Kuaishu Pavilion
Some people in the bar couldn't help but murmur in shock.
"Hmph, this is just Director Wang's delaying tactic. If he attacked forcefully, this dog Chu Lingtian might fight to the death. Director Wang doesn't want his son Wang Jie to be in danger, so he's pretending to beg. Once Chu Lingtian lets his guard down, or releases Wang Jie, Director Wang will strike and immediately order his officers to shoot Chu Lingtian dead."
Wei Song snorted, his expression filled with confident certainty as if he saw through everything.
"Yes, it must be as Young Master Wei said!"
"That's right, a man of Director Wang's stature, there's no one in Dachang City, on either side of the law, who can truly make him bow his head and apologize. This must just be his delaying tactic."
Upon hearing Wei Song's self-righteous analysis, most of the people present believed him.
Whoosh!
Chu Lingtian released his right hand that was gripping Wang Jie's neck.
Bang!
Wang Jie fell to the ground. Due to the terrifying suffocation he had just experienced, tears and snot streamed from his eyes as he coughed violently, a pathetic sight.
Seeing that Chu Lingtian had released his son, Wang Haiyang also breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Chu Lingtian looked calmly at Wang Haiyang and asked, "Do you know the truth of what happened here just now?"
"I, ..."
Wang Haiyang's words were interrupted.
Xiao Lengyue stepped forward, still pointing her gun at Chu Lingtian, and said to Wang Haiyang, "Director Wang, these dozen or so severely injured people on the ground were all beaten by Chu Lingtian. When I rushed in just now, I saw Chu Lingtian strangling Wang Jie's neck again. This guy deliberately committed assault, with witnesses and evidence..."
Before Xiao Lengyue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wang Haiyang again.
"Put down your guns!"
Wang Haiyang said sternly.
Xiao Lengyue was startled, "Director Wang..."
"I told all of you to put down your guns!"
Wang Haiyang roared.
Xiao Lengyue and the other officers present were startled. Although they didn't know why Wang Haiyang was acting like this, they were still intimidated by his authority as their leader and put down their guns.
"Dad, Dad, this dog surnamed Chu wanted to strangle me to death. You must uphold justice for me and avenge me. Quickly order your officers to shoot Chu Lingtian dead, or arrest him and torture him at the police station, quickly..."
Wang Jie's suffocation had eased slightly. He got up from the ground, his face contorted with resentment, and pointed at Chu Lingtian, barking for his father, Wang Haiyang, to avenge him. However, before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard across the face.
Slap!
Wang Haiyang slapped Wang Jie across the face and looked at his son with furious disappointment, scolding, "Scoundrel, shut up!"
"Dad, you, what's wrong with you? I'm your son, your only son!"
Wang Jie was stunned by his father's slap, covering his burning cheek, his eyes wide open, shouting with frustration and disbelief.
Ever since he was young, Wang Haiyang had never hit Wang Jie. He married at twenty and finally had this son in his thirties, so he doted on him immensely.
Otherwise, Wang Jie wouldn't have developed such an arrogant and overbearing personality, always acting like a tyrant in Dachang City.
This was why Wang Jie was so unable to accept being publicly slapped by his father, Wang Haiyang.
Seeing this scene, Wei Song, Bai Mei, Guo Xiaoyan, Xiao Lengyue, and the others were also stunned. They didn't expect that Wang Haiyang, who doted on Wang Jie so much, would slap his precious son in public for Chu Lingtian.
"Scoundrel, kneel down immediately and apologize to Mr. Chu, quickly!"
Wang Haiyang glared at Wang Jie and roared.
"What? Dad, you, you actually want me to kneel and apologize to this dog Chu Lingtian?"
Wang Jie was utterly shocked, he simply couldn't believe what his father, Wang Haiyang, had just said.
He, Wang Jie, was the son of the Dachang City Police Bureau director, a famous young master in this city. If he were to publicly kneel and apologize to an ordinary person like Chu Lingtian, how could he show his face in the future? How could he still get by in the world?
Slap!
Wang Haiyang raised his hand and slapped Wang Jie across the face again, cursing:
"Scoundrel, if you dare to disrespect Mr. Chu with your words again, I will cut out your tongue!"
"If you don't kneel and apologize to Mr. Chu, I will break both your legs!"
"Dad, you, what is wrong with you? To protect this surnamed Chu, you even ignore your own son. Are you crazy!"
Wang Jie's emotions completely broke down. He never expected that his father, Wang Haiyang, who had always doted on him, would scold and beat him in public like this for an outsider like Chu Lingtian.
"Uncle Wang, the truth of tonight's events is indeed entirely Chu Lingtian's fault. He was the one who caused trouble and committed assault first. I can testify, you don't disbelieve me, do you?"
Wei Song frowned. He had a bad premonition, but still confident in his powerful family background, he walked up to Wang Haiyang and said.
Wang Haiyang glanced at Wei Song. He naturally knew that Wei Song's father was the mayor of Dachang City, and he also knew that the Wei family's influence was unfathomable, so he didn't dare to offend Wei Song easily.
At this moment, Wang Jie also looked at Wang Haiyang with resentment in his eyes, viciously slandering Chu Lingtian, speaking righteously, "Dad, when I passed by here just now, I saw this dog surnamed Chu putting a stupefying drug into a girl's drink. You've always taught me since I was young to have a sense of justice and to act courageously. So I followed your words and intervened, only to be severely beaten. And now that you're here, you're not avenging me. If I had known, I would have pretended not to see it!"
"Mr. Chu, is this the truth of the matter?"
Wang Haiyang frowned, his expression changing slightly, and asked Chu Lingtian.
