Chapter 30: Kneeling and Pleading for Mercy
Su Zong Sheng’s furious shout echoed in Du Yuehua’s ears, leaving him momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Lin Jiang Hai was also shocked, staring blankly at Su Zong Sheng.
Does this old man have a death wish? How dare he shout so loudly at someone from the capital?
To curry favor with Du Yuehua, Lin Jiang Hai stepped forward and stood in front of Su Zong Sheng, his face twisted in rage.
“Old man, do you know who this is that you dare to yell at?”
“The deputy director of the Lintai judicial office! Is he someone you can address by his full name?”
“Quickly kneel and apologize to this esteemed gentleman with three loud bows, or else I’ll break your old bones!”
Su Zong Sheng, now furious, had his beard bristling and his eyes wide with anger, glaring at Lin Jiang Hai.
However, Lin Jiang Hai remained undeterred, brimming with confidence.
“Old man, don’t glare at me with that look!”
After saying this, Lin Jiang Hai looked over at Su Qing Li, letting his gaze linger suggestively as a lewd smile appeared on his face.
“Little beauty, if you spend the night with us, I might let this old man off the hook. What do you say?”
Su Qing Li’s eyes filled with disgust.
“Get lost!”
“Very good! You have some personality; I like that!”
Su Qing Li’s reaction only made Lin Jiang Hai more emboldened.
Meanwhile, Du Yuehua was already sweating on his forehead.
He looked at Su Zong Sheng and found him increasingly familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Moreover, Su Zong Sheng’s voice seemed to echo in his memory.
Lin Jiang Hai, like a small man who had gained power, felt a surge of confidence, but feeling the pain in his abdomen, he looked at Bai Chen with killing intent.
“You country bumpkin, you’ll definitely die today! How dare you hit me. Now do you know fear? If you crawl under my legs and call me ‘Daddy’ three times, I might leave your corpse intact!”
Bai Chen looked at Lin Jiang Hai as if he were a simpleton.
He had no idea where Lin Jiang Hai found the courage to speak like that.
At that moment, Su Zong Sheng could no longer contain his anger.
Lin Jiang Hai first insulted his granddaughter, and then insulted him.
But more importantly, he had the audacity to insult Bai Chen, their honored guest from the Su family!
This unleashed the usually mild-mannered Su Zong Sheng’s fury.
“Du Yuehua! Open your eyes wide and see who I am! Do I need to call Su You Wei here for you to recognize me?!”
Hearing the name Su You Wei, Du Yuehua’s body jolted, and when he looked back at Su Zong Sheng, his face turned white.
He remembered!
This old man in front of him is the father of the Lintai magistrate!
At this moment, Du Yuehua slowly shifted his gaze to Su Qing Li standing nearby.
Since Su Zong Sheng was Su You Wei’s father, then Su Qing Li… must be Su You Wei’s daughter!
Just the thought made Du Yuehua’s legs go weak!
Lin Jiang Hai stood in front of Du Yuehua like a loyal guard dog, completely dismissing Su Zong Sheng’s words.
“Old man! How dare you spout arrogant nonsense here? It seems I have to teach you a lesson today!”
With that, Lin Jiang Hai prepared to slap Su Zong Sheng across the face.
Su Zong Sheng coldly regarded Lin Jiang Hai, as if he were staring at a dead man.
Just as Lin Jiang Hai’s hand was about to hit Su Zong Sheng, a sudden heavy blow struck from behind!
Du Yuehua kicked Lin Jiang Hai in the back, sending him flying!
Lin Jiang Hai fell to the ground in a heap.
“Who the hell dared to kick me!”
Lin Jiang Hai got up and turned to see the intense veins bulging on his forehead.
However, what met him was Du Yuehua’s cold gaze.
“Lin Jiang Hai, you have a lot of nerve!”
This unexpected scene left Lin Jiang Hai momentarily stunned.
His previously arrogant bravado vanished instantly.
“Lord Du, what’s going on? Why did you kick me for no reason?”
“I was standing up for you! This old man doesn’t recognize his place! I was going to teach him a lesson for you! And his granddaughter would end up in your bed too!”
The more Lin Jiang Hai spoke, the more excited he became.
But Du Yuehua felt his heart sinking.
It’s all over!
“Shut the hell up! Old Su is the father of the magistrate! This young lady is the magistrate’s daughter!”
Du Yuehua grabbed a nearby chair and hurled it at Lin Jiang Hai.
Then he knelt before Su Zong Sheng, pleading,
“Su… Mr. Su! I didn’t recognize your esteemed self and offended you! It was a moment of blindness! I deserve to die!”
As he spoke, Du Yuehua slapped his own face repeatedly.
After punishing himself, Du Yuehua turned to Su Qing Li.
“Miss Su! What Lin Jiang Hai just said has nothing to do with me! I will have him arrested right away! You can deal with him however you wish!”
Du Yuehua continually apologized to both Su Zong Sheng and Su Qing Li, feeling utterly anxious.
However, Su Zong Sheng simply said something lightly.
"Apologize to Mr. Bai!"
"Mr. Bai?"
Du Yuehua felt dazed, having never heard of this person.
But being the deputy director of the judicial office meant Du Yuehua was clever.
He immediately scrambled to Bai Chen’s feet.
"Mr. Bai, I was wrong! I deserve to die!"
As Du Yuehua slapped himself, he couldn’t help but be shocked by Bai Chen’s background.
Who exactly was this Mr. Bai, who could make Su Zong Sheng act this way?
Bai Chen looked at Du Yuehua with a playful smile.
"Where did that arrogance of yours go?"
"I preferred that proud look you had just now. You wanted to capture me, didn’t you? Here I am, go ahead and arrest me."
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Du Yuehua’s heart raced, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Bai, you misunderstood. If I had known you knew Mr. Su, I wouldn’t dare to arrest you!"
Lin Jiang Hai stood by, stunned and unable to speak.
The scenes unfolding before him were overwhelming.
His once-reliable background seemed powerless against Bai Chen!
Moreover, he had just offended Su You Wei’s father and daughter!
At that moment, Su Zong Sheng also walked over to Bai Chen, coldly staring at Du Yuehua and Lin Jiang Hai.
"Mr. Bai, feel free to do whatever you want! I’m right here, it won’t be a bother!"
Bai Chen smiled slightly.
"Mr. Su, my feud with the Lin family is a life-or-death matter!"
Du Yuehua, kneeling on the ground, felt as though he had fallen into an ice cavern.
Lin Jiang Hai couldn’t help but shiver beside him.
Bai Chen’s words revealed a chill that left him dazed.
Su Zong Sheng’s heart sank.
He thought Bai Chen and the Lin family only had some minor conflicts, but he didn’t expect it to be a life-or-death feud!
After a moment, Bai Chen spoke again:
"Mr. Su, are you interested in knowing about a ruthless criminal gang in Lintai?"
"Oh?" Su Zong Sheng was surprised, "Who are they?"
Bai Chen looked at the crumpled Lin Jiang Hai on the ground, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.
"The Lin family!"
