"I won’t tell!"
Although the young man was scared of Lu Nanchen, considering Li brother’s influence, he preferred to take a beating from Nanchen.
Moreover.
"You’re a teacher, a public servant, you can’t hit people! I can sue you!"
He had an air of superiority, as if even if he hit Nanchen, Nanchen couldn’t hit him back, a perfect candidate for a beating.
The young man’s words had a sobering effect on Nanchen, who hesitated for a moment, but then came back to himself, his expression unchanged, but his grip even tighter.
He recognized him, yet threatened him.
"I can resign."
The man said in a cold tone.
He didn’t care about justice or righteousness, he wanted to protect the people he loved, the people who mattered to him.
Similarly, after resigning, a more suitable candidate for a people’s teacher could replace him, without detriment to the students.
Nothing but benefits.
Hearing Nanchen speak so decisively, the young man had a moment of dread.
"So, don’t make me beat you, it’s not worth it."
The man’s soft tone was extremely dangerous.
He was already so good at fighting when underage, who knows what he’s like now as an adult.
"Don’t hit, don’t hit, I’ll tell, I’ll tell."
...
In the meantime.
The accomplice who ran out first managed to find a safe place, looked anxiously around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure Nanchen was nowhere in sight.
"If you love, then love; if you want to break free, then break free."
"Even women should have a sense of responsibility."
"I believe in myself, I have my principles..."
A sudden ringtone broke the silence from within his pants’ pocket. A phone call came in, scaring the man. He quickly retrieved his phone.
Caller ID: Bro Li.
He instinctively swallowed hard while looking at the screen, then swiped to answer.
"...Hello, Bro Li."
"How’s the job you two were assigned? Any progress?"
Still holding his mahjong tiles, Li Heng placed the phone on the mahjong table and spoke over speakerphone.
The two men had spent five days on this job, and Li Heng had made four calls.
He seemed quite invested.
He couldn’t wait to take some action, starting with friends and family, breaking through one by one.
He wanted to see Nanchen crumble.
"We got found out by him today." The man, choosing to speak truthfully, said.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before an annoyed voice came through Li Heng’s speakerphone. "How useless are you both? You can’t even do this simple task."
The angry man took a drag of his cigar, its smoke billowing from the corner of his smirking mouth.
Displeasure.
Intense displeasure.
"Sorry, sorry, we didn’t expect Nanchen to show up this morning, it was so unexpected." The man apologized repeatedly over the phone.
Who could have predicted that instead of finding his family, they would run into Nanchen himself. Not only did they fail in their mission, but they also got caught by Nanchen in the act.
"Enough, stop with the excuses, I want some actual results."
Then he hung up the phone, picked a tile from his stack, and played it.
Zhou Chengyan, the banker, perked up at the sound, matched the played tile and said, "Nanchen run into trouble?"
"Yeah, the guys I’ve got working for me messed up, he found them."
Tsk.
Zhou Chengyan made a disdainful noise, then his slender fingers played an eight of characters with a sneer.
"Can’t do a damn thing without getting found out. How embarrassing."
