At this moment, Shen Jian's mind was completely blank.

Although the Shen family is a prominent family in Qing City, in the face of officials, they are merely businessmen.

Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—although farmers and artisans can now be excluded from society, the order of scholars and merchants has remained unchanged for five thousand years!

A local police chief could easily bring down the Shen family with a few simple tricks!

However, how could he not be dumbfounded that such an awesome person was bowing to a young man?

"Director Fang, he, he is..."

Snap!

Shen Jian turned around and pulled out a large bag, which flew over. "Are you blind? This person in front of you is General Feng Jiu, the deputy commander of my Futu Army!"

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Floating Pagoda Army?

Shen Jian's head buzzed.

Everyone else present stared at the young man in shock!

You have to understand that the Futu Army is the Fengtian Army's elite force. To be the deputy commander of such an elite force, how high must one's rank be?

Nobody knew, because to them this was a figure from the heavens! He could raze the entire Qing City to the ground with a single word!

thump!

Shen Jian immediately knelt down, repeatedly apologizing, "General, I was wrong! I didn't know your identity. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to act so presumptuously in front of you! Please have mercy and spare my life!"

At this moment, Shen Jian was no longer the young master of a wealthy family. He was so scared that he peed himself. Even if he had arrived in an Audi, he would have no prestige whatsoever!

Feng Jiu, however, was unmoved, and with a cold smile, said, "If it weren't for me today, would you be able to act with impunity, cutting down whoever you want, or bullying whoever you want?"

"No, no!" Shen Jian quickly explained, "I was just protecting the interests of our company. This taxi company belongs to the Shen family. This ride-hailing service is illegal and is taking away our Shen family's business. What I did was just normal self-defense!"

Snap!

Feng Jiu slapped him hard across the face. "What do you mean, 'your family's business'? You think you can monopolize the industry just by using your connections? How could someone with no background or connections possibly compete with you? Why are you preventing him from doing this? Besides, even if it was just normal self-defense, couldn't you have used normal methods and procedures? Moreover, the other party is a veteran. Is this how you treat a meritorious person? You bunch of worthless businessmen, don't forget who's guarding your territory behind the scenes, allowing you to comfortably bleed the people dry!"

"What? He, he's a veteran?"

Shen Jian's head was buzzing. Although he had never served in the military, he knew that these soldiers were very united. His men had bullied the veterans, and this matter was definitely not going to end well.

However, coming from a merchant family, he was naturally adept at handling situations. He immediately went up to the burly man and kicked him, yelling, "Damn it, you dare hit a veteran? You've gone too far! They risked their lives to bring us this wonderful life, and you dare insult a veteran! I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch!"

Shen Jian beat the burly man until his head was swollen like a pig's head, even kicking the basket to pieces. The burly man lay on the ground screaming in agony.

"Enough!" Fang Wenhai couldn't stand it any longer. His face darkened as he said, "I'm here. It's not your place to use torture. You'll all go in together in a bit, and I'll make proper arrangements for you!"

"Hey, no, no, no!"

Shen Jian immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Feng Jiu, "General, I really didn't know about this. I was wrong! I accept the punishment! Please give me a chance to make amends! Our Shen family has always respected the military! I am willing to donate 100 million yuan to provide employment opportunities and financial support for all retired military personnel in Qing City. Is that alright?"

One hundred million?

Feng Jiu frowned, then glanced at Lin Yu, whose lips curled up slightly.

No one knows a husband better than his wife, and Feng Jiu immediately understood what that meant!

He addressed Shen Jian, saying, "One hundred million isn't enough, ten billion! And you must come up with a concrete plan! You have one week to go back and prepare. If you can't do it, your entire Shen family will be imprisoned, understand?"

"Huh? A billion??" Shen Jian was immediately dumbfounded.

Qing City is such a small place. Even though the Shen family is one of the top families, one billion is still a huge sum of money! It's enough to cause serious damage!

"What? You don't want to?" Feng Jiu said coldly.

Shen Jian shuddered and immediately nodded, saying, "Agreed, agreed! I'll arrange it as soon as I get back, I absolutely must!"

He knew this was his only chance to survive, and he had to agree first before he could go back and think of a solution!

"Fine, take your people and get out of here!" Feng Jiu waved her hand impatiently.

Shen Jian nodded repeatedly and scrambled away with his men.

The burly man and his gang were taken away in a police car by Fang Wenhai's men. They were facing imprisonment.

Then, Fang Wenhai walked towards Lin Yu, his face full of excitement. He naturally knew Lin Yu's identity.

However, he knew that Lin Yu was visiting Qing City incognito, so he dared not expose Lin Yu's identity to his face.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so happy that you could come to Qing City! I..." Fang Wenhai was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He wasn't good at flattery, but Lin Yu's illustrious military achievements earned his deep respect. He was also a veteran who admired heroes.

Lin Yu waved his hand and walked over to the veteran who had been beaten earlier.

The middle-aged man was looking at them, completely bewildered.

"Which department were you in before?" Lin Yu asked.

The veteran immediately saluted, "Zhao Yi, veteran of the artillery battalion of the 6th Regiment of the Futu Army, reporting to the commander!"
