"Hmm, it seems you know my rules." Xu Chen lit a cigarette, walked to the window, looked at the bustling traffic of Xingcheng, and began to explain his principles.
"Old man Sun, look at the scenery outside. Come and take a look."
Sun Renzhi didn't understand what he was trying to do. He went to the window and looked for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
"Look at all these people, tell me, are you one of them?"
Sun Renzhi and his secretary both fell silent.
"Was the girl who was harmed by your great-grandson one of them?"
The two then fell silent.
Xu Chen fiddled with his ID and said casually, "I can be considered a law enforcer, and if I let your good grandson go today, I would be letting down all the people outside the window, and also you, because you didn't deny it just now."
In his haste, Sun Renzhi said excitedly, "Young friend, please be lenient. Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson when we get back."
At this time, the capital city also learned of Xu Chen's meeting with Sun Renzhi. Everyone was waiting for Xu Chen's statement. The old guys' opinions had always been to kill, but they had to listen to Xu Chen's opinion. After all, everyone wanted their descendants to live for hundreds of years. If they could, they would even like to be decades younger, kick their grandchildren aside, and go to cultivate martial arts themselves.
Xu Chen didn't reply. He went into the room, took out the phone from which Sun Tianyu had recorded a video. Xu Chen didn't know if the video fully covered all of the playboy's crimes, but it was still over twenty minutes long. He walked over to Sun Renzhi and started playing the video.
At first, Sun Renzhi didn't understand what Xu Chen wanted to do. As he watched the video, his face grew paler and paler, and his emotions became more and more angry. After the video finished playing, he sat down on the ground. He knew that there was no room for maneuver anymore.
"Do you still want to protect him?" Xu Chen squatted down and looked at Sun Renzhi.
“Young friend Xu, I…” Sun Renzhi was unable to answer.
"I'm wasting so much time talking to you because our conversation might attract attention. I need to leave a good impression; I can't just start killing people right away." Actually, his initial intention was to incite public outrage with Sun Tianyu so that his father could arrest him without any resistance, giving his father a political achievement. After all, there was a lot of talk about Sun Tianyu, with some even claiming he was a spoiled rich kid. And the rumors were getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing the old leader's lifeless eyes, the secretary began to plead with Xu Chen.
"Colonel Xu, please have mercy, our old leader only has this one grandson."
Xu Chen was taken aback. "Where's Sun Wei? Didn't he go abroad?"
"I was shot dead in the Ugly Country."
No wonder Old Man Sun rushed to Xingcheng to beg him; it turned out he was afraid his family line would end. Xu Chen thought to himself, this can't go on like this. This old man is so shrewd; maybe he was just putting on an act while sitting on the ground pretending to be confused, and was actually thinking about how to convince him. After all, his secretary had just dropped such a bombshell.
"Young friend, please do it." Sun Renzhi wiped away his tears, feeling that his family had suffered a misfortune.
"You've thought it through? Looks like you're not too stupid after all." Xu Chen nodded, then spoke to his secretary.
“Secretary, you should have my father’s phone number. Tell him to take action.”
The secretary made a phone call, explained the key points, and then stood aside with the listless Sun Renzhi. Given the old man's condition, even with the secretary's help, he could only walk very slowly. It would be better to wait until the police left before slowly taking him downstairs.
A moment later, the police rushed upstairs and took away the sleeping Sun Tianyu. Old Man Sun turned his head away, unable to bear the sight. The officer in charge saluted him and left with his men. Although puzzled by the presence of a young man, the police guessed he might be Sun Tianyu's brother.
"Old Sun, I'm leaving. See you again someday." Xu Chen said goodbye to the two of them and left. His secretary helped Old Sun downstairs and into the car.
At this moment, Xu Jianguo was completely bewildered. The matter was resolved so quickly, and the other party didn't even back out, directly ordering him to arrest the person. "Could it be that a mastermind is secretly helping me?" Xu Jianguo paced back and forth in his office, unable to come up with a solution.
This matter wasn't a major issue, but it wasn't minor either. It wasn't major because, in terms of the nature of the case itself, it was a criminal case with solid evidence. It wasn't minor because so many of the opposing party's protégés and former associates secretly pleaded for leniency, to the point that Xu Jianguo's police chief couldn't withstand the pressure and shifted the blame onto Xu Jianguo. Xu Jianguo himself couldn't bear the pressure either and also wanted to find someone to pass the buck to, but Hunan Province seemed to fall silent at that moment, everyone watching to see what he would do. This put immense pressure on Xu Jianguo, which is why he decided to go out and find some peace and quiet, going fishing.
At this moment, in the provincial party committee compound, the top official of Hunan Province was on the phone with Tang Tiancheng.
"Old leader, it's fortunate that I listened to you and spoke out a few days later, otherwise I would have been annoyed to death by old man Sun."
"With that little guy Xu Chen around, they don't dare to say anything more. Let's just go through the proper procedures and execute him."
"Who doesn't know that you're the one standing behind that little guy? Okay, I'll keep a close eye on him."
"Old Zhao will call you later. If anyone dares to plead for them again, just give me their number or give it to Old Zhao."
"Don't worry, old leader, I will definitely handle it well."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tiancheng dialed Xu Chen's number.
"Hey, Mr. Tang? Aren't you busy at home taking care of your grandchildren? Why do you have time to call me?" Xu Chen was taking a walk on the street, preparing to buy some food for Xu Nan to take back.
"You little rascal, you know how old my granddaughter is, yet you're still doting on your grandchildren..."
"Haha, Mr. Tang, what's up with the call?"
"You handled this very well; you saved me from a small trouble. So, what reward do you want?"
"A reward? Does Old Tang think I'm a child? No need, no need."
"Here's what we'll do: after you return to Beijing, I'll issue you your sidearm, and then Xiao Qin will teach you how to shoot."
"Alright, Mr. Tang, it's a deal."
Xu Chen hung up the phone, still very curious about the gun. He continued shopping until he returned home, where Xu Jianguo and Wang Rong had also arrived. The family started cooking, and while Wang Rong fed her younger brother formula, she asked Xu Chen about school, to which he answered truthfully. To avoid embarrassing Xu Jianguo and Wang Rong, Xu Chen waited until bedtime to act, secretly adding aphrodisiac pills, their effects activated by spiritual energy, to Xu Jianguo's water as usual.
That evening, Xu Jianguo was pondering by his bedside. He still couldn't quite understand why things could be resolved so quickly in just a few days, without any thought given to his good son. Seeing him lost in thought, Wang Rong got up and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Rongrong, go to sleep early." Seeing Wang Rong get up, Xu Jianguo touched her hair, picked up his water glass with his left hand, took a sip, and then lay down to turn off the light.
Three minutes later, Wang Rong exclaimed softly, "Ah, honey, slow down!"
