When the leader asked this question, Qi Yingchen frowned, and then his expression was full of confusion that he couldn’t hide at all.

Of course he knew who he hit.

The woman who was actually in charge of the Jiang family’s company had already gone in and was staying there. Jiang Ruzheng, who was originally in charge of handling the aftermath of the accident and was as cowardly as a wimp, was also left alone. So who else could he hit except the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?
Could it be that we hit the wrong one?

This is absolutely impossible.

He believed in the assistant’s ability to do the job, and he did see the photos of the car accident taken by others that night.

To put it bluntly, Qi Yingchen had a hundred ways to warn the two sisters of the Jiang family. He had been in the business world for so many years, and of course he had a group of useful villains in his circle. No matter what happened, the police could not trace him back.

But if the leader holds you accountable, that’s another matter.

Because he knew very well how sharp the vision of those in power was, and it was not something that a businessman like him could easily understand.

A short time to think.

Qi Yingchen was not thinking about the question asked by his leader, but was trying to guess the meaning behind his question.

“How would the police know who hired the thug…” he whispered tentatively, looking at his leader’s eyes.

But next second.

He saw the leader’s eyelids droop for a moment.

Qi Yingchen’s heart suddenly started beating wildly.

“Could it be that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is making a fuss? Don’t worry, leader, I can make her shut up. Please forgive my mistake.”

“You…” The leader lowered his voice and tapped the edge of the chair with his fingers, “Do you think you are very capable?”

Qi Yingchen knew that he had said the wrong thing again. His face looked extremely ugly and he simply remained silent.

“You’ve offended the wrong person… The Jiang family is certainly not worth mentioning, but do you know the relationship between the twin sisters and the Jiang family?”

The leader turned his back, but what he said made Qi Yingchen even more confused.

“Jiang family? Which Jiang family?”

But soon, his pupils contracted violently, and an unbelievable answer emerged in his mind.

China is a major energy country, and most of the top companies in the industry are state-owned. They top the corporate rankings every year, and ordinary private companies are simply unmatched. Only a handful of them can make the list as non-state-owned enterprises, and those private companies are the top that entrepreneurs can reach.

The success of those private enterprises stems from the times, foundation and policies.

Once you get in, you will lead the industry for hundreds of years and it will be completely different from the “business world”.

Comparing these small companies in Mingzhu City is like the difference between a fishing boat and a sailing ship.

“There is only one Jiang family.” The leader looked at him, without any emotion in his eyes.

“I have previously investigated the Jiang family’s social connections. How could they be related to the Jiang family… Leader! I didn’t know about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to do this even if I had a hundred guts!”

It’s too late to say.

The tall and strong Qi Yingchen suddenly knelt down from his bowing position.

There was a plop.

His knees landed firmly on the floor.

However, the leader showed no expression when he knelt down to him.

“It’s too late,” the leader said slowly, “What did you do earlier? I went to warn you before, but you didn’t listen. Otherwise, why do you think that I would change my mind at the last minute? You must be secretly hating me for taking the meat you had in your mouth and throwing it to others, right?”

Listening to the leader’s cold snort.

Qi Yingchen hurriedly explained:
“Impossible, boss. I’m just a dog in human form. I do whatever you tell me to do. If it weren’t for you, I would still be a shitty factory manager in the development zone. How dare I be so jealous?”

“Then why are you hiring a killer?”

“I…I lost my mind for a moment. Leader, I will never do such a thing again.”

Qi Yingchen walked on his knees, and when he got in front of his leader, he hugged his legs and cried bitterly to express how much he regretted it.

He is not pretending, he is not a fool, otherwise he would not have been able to grow the company to its current scale.

Qi Yingchen was well aware of the consequences of his wrong doing.

The Jiang family is such a behemoth that any small leader they pick out has connections and influence in the local area. Not to mention him, even the leaders he relies on have to give him some face.

Since they have come to my door, I naturally have no intention of letting him off easily.

What’s more, he was directly looking for his backer.

If he doesn’t hold on to his leader’s thighs, he really doesn’t dare to think about his future situation.

“If it was someone else, I might be able to help you, but did you know that the only heir to the Jiang family was at the scene where you hired a killer to hit someone? You should be thankful that he didn’t get in that car… Jiang Zhengfeng only has one son.”

The leader finished speaking.

Qi Yingchen felt his hair stand on end and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“I apologize! I’ll do everything I can to apologize!” he said hurriedly.

“Well, come with me.”

The leader said nothing more, but waved his hand and walked out alone.

Qi Yingchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up from the ground and followed.

……

Somewhere in Mingzhu City, in an ancient courtyard.

There was a round table in the entrance hall, and several people were sitting around it drinking tea. Among them, Pei Youwen, who had not been seen for many days, appeared and stood beside the table in an orderly manner.

He looked at the young man with his back to him—Chen Yuan, now Jiang’s general director of the northern region.

“Now the city is prosperous and at the forefront of a new journey. It is an opportunity to promote the high-quality development of the private economy. Our city is standing on the ladder, but at the same time, there are countless eyes staring at us. This is pressure, but also motivation… I have been thinking about how to better implement the measures recently…”

“Uncle Lin said it very well. Now it is important to have a resonance between culture and policy. Both are indispensable.”

“Yes, resonance. You used this word well. Young people have active minds. I am old.” An old man with gray hair and dressed in casual clothes sighed.

“How can I be old? I just hit several of your balls.” Chen Yuan laughed.

If other people knew that a high-ranking leader of Mingzhu City could speak so cordially to a young man who had just started out, they would definitely be very surprised.

Not to mention that I just saw an old man and a young boy playing badminton for half a day.

The secretary at the side was pouring tea and couldn’t help but look at Chen Yuan a few more times.

“Leader Lin has previously discussed with your father a plan to encourage emphasis on key points and precise policy implementation, but after several meetings, there is still no reply. However, I understand that the Jiang family’s main development direction is now overseas, and the vision is different from what it was before.” Another middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes of life and a square face added.

“I don’t understand either. As the saying goes, you must first stabilize the country before you can fight against foreign enemies. Uncle Gao, I will definitely ask my dad when I get back.” Chen Yuan answered with a fake smile.

“No, we’re just chatting today.” The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.

Under the bright sunshine, Chen Yuan, dressed in sportswear, looks particularly sunny. Standing among a group of elderly people, his youthful and vigorous feeling makes people extremely enviable.

Lifting up his white trouser legs, Chen Yuan chatted with the two leaders in a casual manner.

Unexpectedly, the pressure was much less than the last time I was at the drinking party.

However, several people were discussing.

Suddenly, there were several car horns outside the yard.

The chief secretary reacted and winked at the driver beside him.

“Oh, I guess someone is coming.” Uncle Lin put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.

As he spoke lightly, Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed for a moment and the smile on his face disappeared.

He originally didn’t want to mobilize so many troops and create such a grand scene.

But I couldn’t resist the impulse last night and spoke directly to my leader.

After hearing this, Secretary Lin was extremely angry and said frankly that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and give Chen Yuan an explanation.

Regardless of any commercial disputes, this has nothing to do with the nature of the matter itself, and it would be too embarrassing if it were spread out. In addition, Secretary Lin and Jiang Zhengfeng have been friends for many years.

Now that Chen Yuan arrived in Mingzhu City, not only did he fail to fulfill his duties as a good host, but he also caused others to suffer such injustice for no reason. This is unacceptable in any way.

The narrow door opened with a creaky sound.

Leader Yang walked in first and exchanged greetings with the people at the tea table. Then he found a seat and sat down. After a while, a man walked in timidly.

Who else could it be but Qi Yingchen?

He hardly dared to look up, and walked forward with his head down, clenching his hands nervously, with cold sweat on his forehead that never stopped.

Everyone was looking at him, including Pei Youwen who was standing behind Chen Yuan.

Under such huge pressure of gaze.

Qi Yingchen didn’t even dare to step over the threshold. He just stood there and then knelt down all of a sudden.

“Leaders, leaders! Mr. Jiang, I was wrong! I didn’t know that the secretary had arranged for someone to cause trouble for Miss Jiang without telling me. I just said a few harsh words in front of him. Who could have expected that he would dare to do this? All the mistakes are my fault…”

Just for a moment.

This burly man burst into tears.

There was no trace of the domineering attitude he had before when facing his business friends and at the negotiation table.

Looking at Qi Yingchen who didn’t even dare to raise his head, Chen Yuan just looked at him coldly.

Chen Yuan didn’t say anything, and everyone in the hall was silent.

A suffocating atmosphere spread.

bang——

The leader surnamed Gao threw the ceramic cup and it shattered on the stone floor. He snorted coldly and looked at Qi Yingchen who was shaking all over.

“Asshole! I think you are lawless.”

Those who have been in a high position for a long time are naturally majestic without getting angry.

Not to mention this middle-aged man with a square face, who carries the majesty of a soldier and is extremely sharp.

Someone started to speak loudly, and Secretary Lin, who was always reserved and elegant, continued to talk about the matter.

“In broad daylight, he was walking peacefully on the street, but you hired thugs to cause trouble for him. Now he’s still lying in the hospital. What are your intentions? If this gets out, people will think our city is a lawless place.” Secretary Lin sneered twice.

“I deserve to die! It’s my fault,” Qi Yingchen raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face. He knew that it was useless to defend himself and it would only increase his disgust. “I dare not ask Mr. Jiang to forgive me, I just hope you can calm down… I have committed such a sin, even if I go out and get killed in a car accident, I will not regret it!”

“He is indeed a rural barbarian, and he is acting tough.” The square-faced leader sat upright and examined him.

From beginning to end, Chen Yuan didn’t say a word.

It’s not that he didn’t have any emotions, but he felt extremely disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

It was such a black-hearted boss who trampled on the law and used despicable means that actually threatened the lives of the two people he loved deeply. Chen Yuan felt insulted.

Even when he was taking revenge on the other party, Chen Yuan felt that his hands were dirty.

“You used some tricks to frame my mother-in-law and put her in jail for the Jiang family’s company, and you pushed the whole thing. I didn’t hold it against you after I found out… because she also made mistakes and should be punished by law, but that doesn’t mean you are right to treat the law as a joke…” Chen Yuan looked down at the kneeling Qi Yingchen and said sarcastically, “I don’t bother to hold it against people like you.”

Qi Yingchen didn’t dare to speak, he just nodded vigorously without raising his eyes.

“I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant and do what a beast does,” Chen Yuan couldn’t help but clench his fists, his eyes showing a sharp look, “If I didn’t come to find you, would you have killed my fiancée before you gave up?”

“How is it possible!? I would never dare to do such a thing. It’s all my assistant’s fault–“

“Shut up!” Secretary Lin’s secretary beside him shouted.

Pei Youwen then walked forward, stood in front of Qi Yingchen, raised his leg high, and stepped on his face as if kicking a dead dog.

He kicked the man named Qi so hard that he staggered and fell on his back.

The kick was kicked without any restraint. Even though the man was tall and strong, he still felt dizzy and a burning pain on his face.

But he quickly got up and kowtowed hard on the ground.

“I was wrong. I deserve to die. From now on, I will disappear from Miss Jiang’s sight and never show up again. I hope Mr. Chen will calm down.”

“Heh, that’s not what you said in the text message you sent last night.”

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Pei Youwen took out his cell phone and showed it to Qi Yingchen.

“Read it out loud yourself.” Chen Yuan whispered.

“I……”

Qi Yingchen gritted his teeth, his forehead was already red from the close contact with the floor just now.

He was silent as a mouse, not even having the courage to read out the contents of the text message.

“You have the guts to post it, but not the guts to read it? Damn you! Do you really think you’re something?”

Xiao Pei was a cruel person. He raised his leg and kicked him hard in the face from high to low.

Everyone could clearly see that Qi Yingchen’s cervical vertebra was bent and he fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face.

“I’m…I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang…” He begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.

“I’ll let you read it out loud.”

“I don’t dare to do it anymore. I won’t dare to do it again… I am a beast.”

Bright red blood gushed out of Qi Yingchen’s nose, soaking his clothes in the blink of an eye. However, his miserable look did not win any sympathy from anyone.

The secretary next to Secretary Lin had been observing Chen Yuan’s expressions. When he saw that Chen Yuan had no expression at all, he felt a little sad.

He seems to be a cruel master…

“Ahem, explain it clearly. Don’t wait until you leave this room to cause any more trouble.” said the secretary.

“You are just a scum. Our young master has never looked at you straight in the eye. Do you really think you can make any waves?” Pei Youwen spat on the ground. “I don’t even need to do anything to deal with you. I’m telling you today that you have to get out of Mingzhu City tomorrow.”

From any angle, Chen Yuan is a boy with good character and good heart, a good boy who has received compulsory education, and a young college student.

He never wants to bully others by taking advantage of his power.

That’s why he didn’t interfere in the whole matter of Jiang family, but went to great lengths to help.

But no one can ignore his background.

Pei Youwen’s words were not exaggerating at all.

“How resourceful are you?” Chen Yuan stood up and looked down at Qi Yingchen. “You won’t let us go just like that, will you? Mingzhu City is your world. No one can suppress a local tyrant like you, right? You’re still doing this in a society ruled by law.”

“I… I didn’t know about your relationship with the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang. If I knew, I wouldn’t dare to reach out even if I had ten guts. You just need to say… No, you don’t even need to say anything, I will get out of here,” Qi Yingchen got up again, with a sad face, and knelt at Chen Yuan’s feet and kowtowed, “I was wrong, Mr. Jiang, you are so magnanimous, please forgive me…”

“You’re still trying to blackmail me at this point? You bastard!” Pei Youwen grabbed his hair like a dead dog.

Such a scene.

Originally, the leader named Yang had no intention of helping. He called the other party over purely to settle the matter.

After all, if you dig too deep, it will not look good on your leader.

He was waiting for Chen Yuan to calm down so that he could say something to resolve the situation.

Leader Yang looked at Chen Yuan with some fear in his eyes, hesitating whether to intervene now.

“He’s just a biting dog. Please calm down, Mr. Jiang.” Finally, he raised his head with a smile, “If you beat him, your hands will be dirty.”

As soon as the leader spoke, Qi Yingchen immediately cast a hopeful look at him, full of gratitude.

He knew that the only person who could save him now was the leader in front of him.

“Shut up, too.”

It was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Chen Yuan turned around and gave a cold warning to the leader named Yang. (End of this chapter)
