Chapter 125 - Generally Average

Upon seeing Feng Tiannan turn on them and play the villain who accused others first, Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining were so furious they were smoking with rage.

How could there be such a fickle and ungrateful person in the world?

“Nonsense, it was clearly you who wanted to hit someone just now, we experienced it ourselves, and you still want to deny it?” Chen Jianguo shouted.

Xue Caining also angrily chimed in, “Exactly, you were about to hit us just moments ago.

If it weren’t for that young man’s act of valor, we might very well have been beaten up by you.”

These words were spoken by the elderly couple exactly as Ye Haochuan had instructed them beforehand.

Although Chen Yushan worked at the police station, she had never brought her colleagues to meet her parents, so no one knew the relationship between Chen Yushan and the two elders.

This was an extremely advantageous condition, which Ye Haochuan naturally wouldn’t pass up the chance to exploit.

Feng Tiannan gritted his teeth and said, “Nonsense?

If I’m talking nonsense, would I be suffering these serious injuries?

Captain Zhou, considering our usual good relations, you must stand up for me…”

Before he could finish, Captain Zhou kicked him and roared, “Stand up for your ass!

Are you sick in the head?

Would I, a policeman of the people, be friends with a thug like you?”

Feng Tiannan was dumbfounded.

What was going on with Captain Zhou today?

Normally, I spent a lot of money on drinks and meals for him, and our relationship was as solid as could be.

How could he betray me so easily when push came to shove?

Damn it, isn’t this too devoid of loyalty?

However, at that moment, Feng Tiannan caught a meaningful glance from Captain Zhou and immediately got the message.

Could it be that things weren’t as simple as they seemed?

Though puzzled, Feng Tiannan dared not make another peep.

Having lived his life the way he had, if he couldn’t understand certain cues, he’d really been living in vain.

Just then, Detective Captain Wang Qiang walked up, looked at Feng Tiannan, and sternly ordered, “Take them all away!”

Immediately, a large number of armed policemen stepped forward, ready to apprehend Feng Tiannan and his group.

Feng Tiannan, dumbstruck, finally said with reluctance, “Why are you arresting me?

He’s the one who assaulted people, not us!

Officer, look, we’re covered in wounds!”

“Wounds my ass!” Wang Qiang showed the video on his cellphone right in front of him, “Open your damn eyes and see for yourself.

The evidence is irrefutable, do you have the gall to say that he hit you?”

Only then did Feng Tiannan focus on the cellphone screen.

As he saw his own group cornering and beating Ye Haochuan like a dog that had lost its home, he was utterly stupefied.

“Officer, no, that video definitely didn’t capture the whole event…”

Before Feng Tiannan could finish, Wang Qiang cut him off, “Do you have any video that wasn’t fully captured?”

Feng Tiannan deflated immediately, burning with anger inside.

Damn it, which bastard set me up?

“Officer, who took this video?

Can I meet them?” Feng Tiannan asked with a forced smile on his face.

“Get lost, kid.

Let you meet the person who took the video?

So you can seek revenge later?” Wang Qiang couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and pointed at two policemen, “What are you standing around for?

Aren’t you going to take away these criminals who are involved in group fighting and seriously disrupting public order?”

“Yes!”

Without further ado, the two policemen escorted Feng Tiannan to the police car.

Feng Tiannan wanted to protest his innocence, but the policemen quickly covered his head with a black cloth and commanded, “Keep quiet!”

In no time at all, the other thugs were thrown into police vans.

Wang Qiang looked at Ye Haochuan with resignation and said, “Mr.

Ye, you really know how to stir things up.”

Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, “Just an average day for me, unsheathing my sword to help when the road is unfair is simply our duty.

By the way, my act of righteous bravery this time, it was reasonable, advantageous, and measured, right?

It’s not considered illegal and against the rules, is it?”

Wang Qiang gave a bitter smile and nodded, “With video evidence in hand, and testimonies from the community residents, I believe, Mr.

Ye, your actions do not count as illegal or against the rules, but as an act of righteous bravery.”

Ye Haochuan threw his head back and laughed, winking and joking, “So, isn’t your police department supposed to give me a banner in recognition of my heroic act of bravery?”

Give you a banner?

You wish.

If you were an ordinary person, you’d have been taken into custody long ago.

Wang Qiang chuckled, “I will report your heroic deeds to the upper level, but now it’s getting late, and I must leave.

Mr.

Ye, goodbye.”

“Goodbye!”

After a roar of engines, a convoy of police cars escorting Feng Tiannan and his gang drove out of the neighborhood, which included those wrecked Lamborghinis, Audis, and Volkswagens that the police had towed away.

The community quickly returned to its usual tranquility.

As the future son-in-law who had exacted some revenge on their behalf, Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining were overjoyed and warmly invited Ye Haochuan into their home.

Seeing a bullet hole in his clothes, Xue Caining specially went to a clothing store outside the community to buy him two T-shirts to change into, and even planned to cook personally to properly host this increasingly endearing future son-in-law.

The only one who felt a bit awkward was Chen Yushan.

Her relationship with Ye Haochuan wasn’t yet finalized, and she didn’t know how to break the news to her parents.

The apartment where Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining lived was modest, a small two-bedroom with a living room, not very spacious but very tidy.

A large potted plant of a money tree on the balcony added a touch of green.

“Haochuan, come sit in the living room.

Auntie Xue will get you a drink.

What would you like to drink?” Xue Caining asked warmly as she headed to the refrigerator in the kitchen.

“Anything is fine,” Ye Haochuan said with a smile, then followed Chen Jianguo and Chen Yushan to the living room.

After sitting Ye Haochuan next to himself, Chen Jianguo said with a face full of admiration, “Haochuan, I have never seen such an impressive young man like you in my life.

Not only are you wealthy, but you also have martial skills.

If our Shanshan marries you, she really would be marrying up.”

Ye Haochuan gave a smile and was about to speak when Chen Yushan argued discontentedly, “Dad, what are you talking about?

What do you mean ‘marrying up’?

He’s just a school doctor, how is that ‘marrying up’?

You make it sound like our family is below him.”

Chen Jianguo chuckled sheepishly, not knowing how to continue.

At that moment, Xue Caining brought over two cans of Jia Duo Bao herbal tea, handing one to Ye Haochuan and one to Chen Jianguo.

Chen Yushan immediately felt snubbed.

She’d never felt overlooked by her mom before and protested, “Mom, why didn’t you get one for me?”

“You have hands and feet, can’t you get one for yourself?” Xue Caining glanced at her.

Chen Yushan felt so frustrated, she glared at Ye Haochuan hatefully and headed to the kitchen.

“Haochuan, Shanshan is just like this at home; we’ve spoiled her.

Now she rents a place on her own for convenience with work; we can’t manage her anymore, and she’s become more and more unruly.

You’ll have to be more tolerant of her in the future,” Chen Jianguo said.

Ye Haochuan laughed, “Uncle Chen, Auntie Xue, listen to you two.

Yushan’s behavior isn’t ‘unruly,’ it’s character.

She’s such a girl with character, I couldn’t be happier.”

Chen Yushan heard those words as she came out of the kitchen.

Her resentfulness lessened slightly.

Humph, I’ll give you this; you know how to talk.

You’re right, this is what they call character.
