Although Shi Zhi was indeed mentally deficient, as his name suggests, he still dared not speak when his brother-in-law was present, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Although she didn't know what her brother-in-law still had reservations about, she was no longer as terrified as before.
Although he was still standing in front of Wang Zheng, his previously bent back had straightened, and he patiently waited for his brother-in-law to speak up for him.
Wang Zheng naturally saw this and even silently cheered for the other party in his heart.
'Get arrogant, get cocky, jump up and mock me mercilessly, or better yet, just attack me directly...'
At this moment, Xu Yifeng, the A-level big shot, slowly lowered his head.
How could someone who could make such a name for themselves in this unfamiliar city all by themselves not see through Wang Zheng's ulterior motives?
He became one of the Thirteen Protectors of this Spring City because of his real skills and his pragmatic and steady approach to situations!
Suddenly, a few absurd thoughts flashed through his mind.
'Something's off about this kid. Why is he suddenly saying all this now? And why is he specifically emphasizing that his family background is just average?'
'Could it be!?'
'He's trying to provoke me, he wants to make me angry, he's waiting for me to make a move? Yes! His elders are definitely nearby. If I fall for their trap now, they'll surely unleash a devastating attack!'
'No wonder my eyelids have been twitching ever since that kid entered the room; I must have been locked onto by his elders using their aura!'
Upon realizing this, Xu Yifeng broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"Well said! One is straightforward and honest, and the other makes friends from the heart. It is truly touching. They are indeed outstanding figures of our time. We should drink a toast to this moment."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he grabbed the bottle of 55-proof liquor in front of him and began to gulp it down.
After downing the entire bottle of baijiu in one go, Xu Yifeng used all his momentum to press down on his brother-in-law.
Then came a loud shout.
Kneel down!
Shi Zhi had never seen anything like this before. Startled by his brother-in-law, he immediately knelt down with a "plop".
"You bastard, you really dare to mess with just anyone!"
Then he looked at Wang Zheng.
"Young Master Duan, my good-for-nothing brother-in-law deserved to offend you. But I, Xu Yifeng, have no ties in this world. My closest relatives are only my wife and this scoundrel."
You can decide on the punishment; I'll accept having my arms and legs broken, I just hope he'll be spared so the Shi family can have an heir!
Upon hearing his brother-in-law's words, Shi Zhi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
He didn't know why it suddenly became so serious. Wasn't it supposed to be just an apology at most?
It might even allow me to vent my anger?
When Wang Zheng heard Xu Yifeng's words, he was immediately taken aback, and his expression was quite interesting.
He didn't know why things had suddenly developed to this point.
Damn it! What happened to the A-rank boss? The intelligence said he was gloomy, ruthless, and fought like a madman, disregarding his own safety.
Could it be that I met a fake Xu Yifeng, and this guy is an imposter?
As soon as Xu Yifeng spoke, the atmosphere in the private room immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Wang Zheng, who was frowning in thought.
As for our young master Wang, he was also very annoyed.
This dignified A-level Awakened has already lowered his stance so much, he's practically begging Young Master Wang to spare his life.
Are they really going to be so disrespectful and just cripple Shi Zhi outright?
What's wrong with him being an ordinary person? He's missing an arm or a leg. His brother-in-law can help him get some spiritual fruits later, so it's not impossible for him to recover. Besides, this has offended people to death.
Moreover, judging from Xu Yifeng's insistence on saving his life, and considering the intelligence he possessed, he was indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness. If they were truly going to punish him severely, then Xu Taibao would certainly not be spared.
However, I heard that Xu Yifeng's reputation in Chuncheng is not bad. After becoming powerful over the years, he has not abandoned his wife who had shared his hardships, and he occasionally saves people in the wild.
After all, he was still officially registered in the military region, and his character wasn't too bad. The shady things Shi Zhi did were just using his name; in reality, they had little to do with him.
Are we really going to fight Shi Zhi to the death because of this good-for-nothing? Or even kill him?
Thinking about this, Wang Zheng sighed and made a decision.
"Forget it, I'm not a cruel person, there's no need to make it so bloody."
As for your brother-in-law, Xu Taibao should keep a closer eye on him in the future. Not everyone is as soft-hearted as I am.
With his temperament, he shouldn't go to government departments anymore. He should just stay home and cultivate his character, lest he cause you even bigger trouble later.
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, Shi Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, finally regained some interest in his eyes. However, before the surprise on his face could even surface, Wang Zheng changed the subject again.
"but……"
Wang Zheng's eyes were fierce as he stared intently at Shi Zhi.
"You must personally apologize to the soldier you insulted outside the city. If you are not sincere and he is not satisfied, I will not let it go!"
Hearing Wang Zheng's heavy breathing, Shi Zhi's heart seemed to stop beating. Only after understanding Wang Zheng's request did he finally relax.
While slapping his own mouth, he replied, "Thank you, Young Master Duan, thank you, Young Master Duan. Don't worry, Young Master Duan, I will definitely satisfy him, I will definitely satisfy him..."
