Wealthy Chapter 454

The first time I saw him, I was able to get to him, and he knew what it meant to retreat as an advance, so even if I really wanted to beat his son, I was too embarra*sed to do it.

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.

I was busy pouring Li Liang another fresh cup of tea and looked at his palm with strange sympathy and said, “Hey, Mayor Li, why are you doing this, look, you’ve injured Xiao Ge and injured yourself. Wait, I’ll ask my teammate to bring you medicine.”

Li Liang was really tired and helpless, I asked Cai Xiaobing to bring ice over to put it on him, Li Liang saw that I no longer mentioned the matter of Chu Xiaoxiao, his face was much better.

I said, “Uncle Li, it’s really not that bad.”

He said he was being polite again, probably saying that this kind of thing is not trivial, and that a person’s character is very important, and that Li Ge did this kind of thing, following the example of those rich kids who bully men and women, and that this is something that degrades the Li family, and should never be tolerated.

I admire Li Liang on one hand, but on the other hand, I agree with his wife’s a*sessment of him – that he loves face more than his family.

If Li Liang was really as upright as he said he was, Li Ge would not be such a person.

Still, I was under no obligation to teach Li Ge to behave. I patted Li Liang’s shoulder soothingly, while smiling and saying to Li Ge, “Don’t kneel down, your father beat you for your own good, don’t be angry with your father, come and have a drink of water.”

Li Ge’s face was swollen, how could he drink water?

He reluctantly took the water, and although his eyes were so swollen that he couldn’t even see, he couldn’t hide the malice in them.

I was right. How could this guy change? He grew up with arrogance all his life. He wouldn’t change as a child, and he’s even less likely to change now.

But with his father present, he didn’t dare to say anything more.

“Hey, this unfilial son of mine, if he is not properly disciplined, sooner or later he will cause a big problem.” Li Liang said, “Xiao Zhang, I came to see you today because of another matter, do you still remember you said you wanted to be interviewed by the TV station? I’ve already made an appointment for you with the TV station, which happens to be our local station in Tong City, to do a programme on local heroes, and I’ve recommended you to go on this programme.”

Li Liang didn’t mention this, I’d forgotten about it.

Once I had promised Li Liang that I would go on TV for him to promote the show, to take credit for saving the whole ship and lift the siege of public opinion for him.

Because after we were rescued, there were many people questioning what the Tong government had done at that time.

The incident was used by Li Liang’s political enemies to hype Li Liang as an incompetent mayor, and for a while, the mainstream media was questioning why Li Liang did not organise the rescue at that time.

This incident would definitely become a stain on Li Liang and might affect his future official career. How could he not be anxious when such a reputable person’s reputation was now in shambles?

He said that I wanted to be on TV, but in fact he wanted me to be on TV quickly to help him out.

However, I knew in my heart that this was the case, but I would not expose him. The city has become what it is now, and Li Liang, the mayor, has nothing to do with it, but compared to other people in the city, Li Liang has to say that he is a good mayor.

“That’s just right, I’ll get ready, when is the recording?”

Seeing that I had agreed, Li Liang was busy replying, “The sooner the better.” He froze for a moment and explained, “The production of the show is quite rushed.”

I laughed a little, in fact I knew that the production was not in a hurry, it was he who was in a hurry.

“Good, then please ask Mayor Li to communicate with the programme team for me, I can do it any time.”

Li Liang was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief on the spot. While he was secretly celebrating, I turned my head towards Li Ge and gave him a middle finger.

Li Ge was furious, but he couldn’t get angry, he knew his father’s temper best, and disobeying his father at this time would only get him beaten up worse.

Li Liang said some more polite words, all irrelevant small talk, the main purpose of his visit today had been achieved, after a few casual words he got up and said he had to say goodbye.

I sent him to the villa door, Li Ge’s face was swollen and he couldn’t drive, Li Liang drove.

When Li Liang went around to the driver’s seat, Li Ge turned his head and whispered to me, “I’ll remember what happened today for the rest of my life!”

I tsked twice and laughed, “Don’t give yourself a hard time, your father doesn’t know about your bribery of the police, does he? Your dad came to beat you up today so I could say a few words for him on TV, it’s hard enough for your dad, don’t make it hard for him.”

“No need for you to teach me!”

I went around to his side and whispered against his ear, “I know, and I’m too lazy to teach you. But think what your dad would do to you if he knew you were bribing the police?”

“You ……” Li Ge’s face was as white as white paper, and it was a very frightening thing for a pigheaded man like that to look so white.

Li Liang had already gotten into the car, and seeing his son’s bad face, he probed out and shouted, “Xiao Ge, what’s wrong with you? Get in.”

Li Ge dawdled, his voice trembling, “You are not allowed to say anything.”

“If it was a pretty girl begging me like this, I’d consider it, but you’re a f*cking man, so behave yourself, and if you dare to hit on my girlfriend again, you know what I’ll do.”

Li Ge sucked in a breath of cold air, his fear overflowing.

He took a few steps backwards, his back hitting the car door, and almost fell to the floor on his a*s in a panic.

Like he was running for his life, Li Ge got into the car and then closed the door, frantically urging his dad to hurry up and get out of here, unbeknownst to Li Liang, or slowly greeting us before starting up, by this time Li Ge was going crazy.

After these two father and son’s car left, the sound of applause came from behind me, and it was only when I turned around that I remembered that Yu Feng hadn’t left yet.

Yu Feng was full of admiration for me, “Young Zhang, I just know today what it means to dial a thousand pounds with four taels, and what it means to kill with a borrowed knife.”

I laughed and walked towards the house while saying, “You are so unskilled in complimenting people, the first one doesn’t live up to the words, and the one after is not a good one.”

Yu Feng hemmed and hawed and followed my a*s back into the house, and we both resumed our seats in the living room.

“Young Zhang, we originally had an appointment today, but I was so upset that I came to see you a little early.”

He came to see me definitely because of Li Ge’s bribery, but Li Ge took bribes, these guys took bribes, half a catty and half a catty, no one is better than anyone else.

The only thing is that Yu Feng is a person who, although he tends to follow the trend, still has his own insistence on what is right and wrong.

If put in the past, this person I would never take up, but now I have changed, I very much need to build allies in the city of Tong, and within the police is especially important.

This was not entirely for my own sake, but also for the gun trafficking case that followed. If we don’t have the support of the police force, it will be harder and harder for us to investigate the next cases.

Seeing that I was silent, Yu Feng rubbed his hands together and said nervously, “Young Zhang, it’s true that I did this unkindly, but I’ve already surrendered all the things that Li Ge gave to the Party Committee, and I’m not going to beat around the bush with you, can you let me off the hook in this matter?”

What if I don’t want to let me off even if I have already surrendered to the Party Committee?

I smiled and said, “Officer Yu, I am friends with quite a few police officers, I feel that our auras are very compatible, maybe we will be friends in the future.”

Officer Yu froze, probably because he didn’t understand what I meant by that.

I said, “It’s much more convenient to have a police friend. You see, our city is so chaotic, if you don’t have a police friend, you’ll have a lot of bad things to do every day. The fact that you’re such a good cop shouldn’t be victimized by a $3,000 shopping card. But you have to be careful of Li Ge, as you can see, he has a lot of heart, but not much heart. You handed over the stuff to the party committee, but in case Li Ge relies on you one day and says you were asking for a bribe, and that he gave you more than you handed over, even if your innocence can be found out in the end, your career will be ruined.”

Yu Feng frowned and said, “Not so much, if Li Ge goes to report me, he himself commits a crime.”

I looked at him with a smile, “It’s possible that it’s not Li Ge, but me who will report you to the disciplinary inspection.”

Yu Feng was completely dumbfounded by my question, and his inexplicable face held a hint of fear.
