After listening to Xu Zhengwei's explanation, Chen Yun remained noncommittal, only smiling slightly and saying, "You want to arrest me?"
Xu Zhengwei was startled upon hearing this and waved his hands repeatedly, hurriedly denying it: "No, no, no, that's not true, Mr. Chen, you've misunderstood!"
Chen Rulong, who was standing to the side, blushed slightly.
Chen Yun said, "But I heard it clearly just now. Someone reported me to you that I was the leader of the highway robbers, and even asked you to arrest me!"
Xu Zhengwei chuckled and said, "Ha, that's nonsense. How could Mr. Chen possibly be the leader of a highway bandit gang? That's utter rubbish!"
Well, that statement backfired.
It was a resounding slap in the face to Chen Rulong!
Chen Rulong's face burned, and his eyes, besides shock, were filled with even more anger.
If looks could kill, his gaze would have killed Xu Zhengwei several times over.
Xu Zhengwei certainly felt Chen Rulong's murderous gaze, but he couldn't care less about that now.
In Xu Zhengwei's mind, it's true that Chen Rulong is from a wealthy family in the capital, but Chen Yun is the God of War of the Northern Frontier.
His brother-in-law was killed by Chen Yun, and his brother-in-law's family was driven out of Zhonghai by Chen Yun. Even the fact that he was forced to apply for early retirement was because he had offended Chen Yun before.
Therefore, at this moment, he would rather offend Chen Rulong than dare to offend Chen Yun again.
He really dared not experience Chen Yun's ruthless methods again!
Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xu Zhengwei's words. He looked at Chen Rulong, who indeed looked so angry that he was about to faint.
"Hehe, since Director Xu also thinks the other party is talking nonsense, then it proves that he is slandering me."
"Director Xu, someone is slandering me. Shouldn't you arrest him?"
What?
Should the chairman of Tianjiao Group, whose net worth is in the trillions, be arrested?
Xu Zhengwei was startled by Chen Yun's words and asked in surprise, "Mr. Chen, do you really want to do this?"
Chen Rulong could no longer hold back.
If this continues, Xu Zhengwei will not only fail to arrest Chen Yun as he requested, but will instead arrest him first.
His face turned ashen as he shouted, "Bullshit! Who's slandering you? Who dares to arrest me?"
Chen Yun had not yet spoken.
Xu Zhengwei, already displeased, said to Chen Rulong, "Boss Chen, stop yelling here. Didn't you just accuse Mr. Chen of being a highway robber leader? Let me tell you, Mr. Chen really has the right to pursue you. I can arrest you right now according to Mr. Chen's request!"
Chen Rulong stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then his face darkened as he said, "Your superiors ordered you to ensure my safety, and this is how you handle things? Do you believe I'll complain to your superiors?"
Xu Zhengwei was determined, showing no fear of authority. He said sternly, "My superiors ordered me to ensure your safety, but not to condone your illegal and disorderly conduct. You have slandered others, so of course I have the right to arrest you."
Chen Rulong was furious. He pointed at Xu Zhengwei and yelled, "You're finished! Just wait for me to file a complaint against you. You'll be transferred to guard the reservoir!"
Xu Zhengwei curled his lip: "No need for Boss Chen to worry. I submitted my resignation a few days ago and was planning to retire early. Don't try to pressure me by claiming I'm a superior. I won't fall for that."
Chen Rulong was dumbfounded.
This is truly a case of a scholar encountering a soldier.
He said angrily, "What kind of people are these? Poor and remote places breed unruly people and corrupt officials. They are unreasonable, utterly unreasonable..."
His angry words were meant to say that Chen Yun was a troublemaker and Xu Zhengwei was a corrupt official who did not play by the rules and had no regard for etiquette.
But to Liang Chenglong and the others, and to the passersby around them, it was a completely different story.
Everyone felt that this Mr. Chen from Beijing was too arrogant and looked down on people.
If you look down on China Overseas, why did you come here in the first place?
For a moment, the locals at the scene began to look at Chen Rulong and his group with hostility.
Only then did Chen Rulong belatedly realize that his anger had clouded his judgment and that he had spoken inappropriately.
But it was too late to make amends.
When Xu Zhengwei heard Chen Rulong call him a cunning official, he was very displeased. With the mentality of "daring to risk his life to bring down the emperor", he loudly asked Chen Yun, "Mr. Chen, do you want to hold this person accountable? If so, I will arrest him right now."
Immediately, Chen Rulong looked at Chen Yun.
Everyone present looked at Chen Yun.
Looking at the disheveled Chen Rulong, Chen Yun smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll let him off the hook for now and reserve the right to pursue the matter further."
At this point, he looked at Chen Rulong and said, "I'm in a hurry to deliver lunch to my wife, so I'll let you off the hook for now. I'll settle the score with you when I have time!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Rulong's blood pressure soared, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.
Many of his subordinates knew that Chen Yun was his son.
Although he had kicked his son out of the house and declared that he had severed all ties with him.
But being reprimanded by Chen Yun in the street still made him feel ashamed, as if he had nowhere to hide his face.
But then, Xu Zhengwei had to deliver the final blow.
Xu Zhengwei said sternly, "Boss Chen, did you hear what Mr. Chen said? Why don't you hurry up and take your men away? If your convoy continues to block Mr. Chen's way and cause him further trouble, then I will really have to take you back."
Chen Rulong cursed inwardly upon hearing this.
Given his status, even the leaders of China Overseas had to treat him with utmost respect.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengwei took it all for granted and started bossing him around!
However, he also knew the saying that it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.
So he didn't argue with Xu Zhengwei, and just coldly said to Xu Zhengwei, "Just wait for my complaint, and wait for your superiors to deal with you!"
Xu Zhengwei disagreed, thinking to himself: Even if my superior came in person today, he would still have to stand on Mr. Chen's side.
Chen Rulong made a harsh statement to Xu Zhengwei, then looked at Chen Yun with a dark face and said, "You're doing well, kid! But don't get cocky. Once I take over the operating rights of Zhonghai Port, I'll deal with you."
After saying that, he turned and left angrily, while resentfully instructing Luo Changgui: "Tell the convoy to back up, take a detour, and make way for them!"
Luo Changgui replied, "Yes, sir!"
Soon, the Chen family's convoy slowly reversed and then took a detour to make way for Chen Yun's convoy.
Seeing that the matter was over, Xu Zhengwei said to Chen Yun, "Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Chen Yun waved his hand: "Let's retreat!"
Xu Zhengwei and his men also left.
Chen Yun called to Long Pingting, Liang Chenglong, and the others, "Alright, everything's fine now, let's head out!"
Liang Chenglong and the others were overjoyed and got into the car one after another.
After this incident, Liang Chenglong and others had even more confidence in Chen Yun, and were also more confident that Zhonglong Group would win the port operation rights.
Chen Yun and Long Pingting returned to the Bentley.
Long Pingting smiled and said, "Young Master, that guy has really been outdone by you today."
Chen Yun said calmly, "He only suffered a small setback today. In the competition for Zhonghai Port, I will make him suffer a big setback! He owed my mother back then, and I will make him pay the price little by little until he is in great pain and regrets his actions!"
