Chapter 590 Receiving Punishment
Chen Yongnian's face was gloomy.
He wasn't angry because Li You said what he thought, but because Li You mentioned Wan Qiqi and criticized Wan Qiqi's character.
Xiao Fan, following behind, noticed Chen Yongnian's unpleasant expression and quickly turned around to Li You with a grin, saying, "Li Guannian, it doesn't seem quite right for you to discuss this matter at the county office, does it? After all, our boss and you..."
“I’m speaking to your superiors, how dare you, a mere yamen runner, interrupt!” Li You interrupted Xiao Fan and stepped forward.
"Am I wrong? Everyone knows these things. You keep such a woman by your side only because she is scheming and because of her brother, right?"
Li You sneered, stopped beside Chen Yongnian, and turned her head to sneer, "Chen Yongnian, you really are a coward. You rely on women for everything, and they're vicious women at that!"
Chen Yongnian's face turned gloomy at a rapid pace.
Li You spoke loudly, attracting the attention of the passing constables, but no one dared to speak up to mediate.
Xiao Fan was somewhat frightened when he saw Chen Yongnian's hands clenched into fists with veins bulging.
He wasn't afraid of the two fighting, because Li You was certain he couldn't defeat Chen Yongnian.
But he was afraid that Li You's words were too harsh, and that Chen Yongnian might lose his temper and seriously injure someone, thus losing his job and going to jail.
"Say it again if you dare!" Chen Yongnian's voice was icy cold, like a thousand years of ice.
Li You thought to himself that with so many people watching, Chen Yongnian wouldn't dare to make a move unless he wanted to give up his job!
He faced Chen Yongnian, craned his neck to make himself appear about the same height as Chen Yongnian, and sneered, "I said you're a coward, and Wan Qiqi is a vicious woman..."
With a "thud," Li You fell to the ground, his face immediately bearing five finger marks that swelled up rapidly.
"You..." Li You couldn't believe it, but the taste of blood in his mouth told him that it was true.
Chen Yongnian hit him!
Hit him in front of everyone!
Li You no longer cared about anything else; he only wanted to save face.
He scrambled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a ferocious expression, "Chen Yongnian, I'm not done with you yet!"
Li You threw a punch at Chen Yongnian.
Unexpectedly, he hit it!
This solid punch made Li You realize that Chen Yongnian was not as powerful or terrifying as he had imagined.
This punch ignited his passion, and he couldn't suppress his urge to beat Chen Yongnian to a pulp.
Even though he was arrested later, it was Chen Yongnian who made the first move, and he switched sides. No matter what, Chen Yongnian was in the wrong, which made him even more unscrupulous.
The constables saw the two men fighting and were unsure whether or not to intervene, or how to do so.
Just now, Xiao Fan tried to pull the two apart, but they were pushed away.
Xiao Fan collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The official pushed him away!
What exactly does the boss want to do? Fighting in the county government office is punishable by law!
What surprised him the most was that Li You's frail body was actually able to push Chen Yongnian down. Was this really not a joke?
He had seen Chen Yongnian's skills; although not as good as Officer Liang, they were more than enough to catch thieves.
Many soldiers tried to take down Chen Yongnian, but none of them succeeded.
Looking at the two people on the ground, Xiao Fan couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Brother Yongnian did this on purpose?
"Chen Yongnian, did you deliberately set me up?"
Li You knelt on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, pointing at Chen Yongnian kneeling beside him, his expression full of disgust.
Chen Yongnian only had a bruise on the corner of his mouth; the rest of his face was still clean and white.
He knelt upright, looking completely self-righteous, and declared, "No!"
"You still dare to say you didn't? Otherwise, how could I have hit you?" Li You shouted, his voice cracking. He kowtowed to Fang Ziming behind the desk and said, "Lord Fang, you must do me justice! I just wanted to say a few words to him, but he was so arrogant and ignored me!"
Fang Ziming sat at the table and reached out to pinch the space between his eyebrows.
Chen Yongnian, the person he trusted most, actually got into a fight today!
Although Chen Yongnian was somewhat dull, he was very capable in his work, arresting many petty thieves and making Yunhe County safer than ever before.
Having someone like that by your side as a capable assistant is the best thing ever.
But Fang Ziming was still worried that Wan Qiqi would side with Xie Xing and join him in dealing with him.
Therefore, in the current situation, it is not safe for him to stand on either side.
Xiao Fan stood to the side, hunched over, and stammered, "Lord Fang, it was...it was Li Guannian. He started the insults, and...and with Chen Guannian's fighting skills, how could he possibly be beaten? Our boss didn't want to get involved with him in the first place; he was the one who started the insults!"
Li You never expected that he would become a witness.
Those yamen runners who were watching the play also became witnesses.
Everyone agreed that it was Li You who repeatedly made things difficult for Chen Yongnian and said many unpleasant things, which provoked Chen Yongnian to take action.
Even the injuries on Li You's face were from his own bumps and bruises, not from Chen Yongnian hitting him.
"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't swear. I'm just stating the facts! And he started it!" Li You roared, his eyes reddening.
"What facts are you talking about?" Chen Yongnian glanced coldly at Li You and said in a cold voice, "The matter of Xinglong Restaurant is still unresolved, yet you are spreading this matter everywhere, making the county government a mess. What is your intention?"
“You’re talking nonsense. What evidence do you have?” Li You stammered slightly.
The rumors circulating in the county government were indeed from him, intended to make everyone dislike Chen Yongnian and expel him from the county government.
“Lord Fang, you can call a few people and ask around to find out who is spreading rumors and disturbing people’s peace in the county government.” Chen Yongnian remained firm and showed no sign of panic.
