Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Thud! It Really Is Mr. Wang!
On the other side, Lin Hua was also quite speechless. Such a small matter actually had to be blown up all the way to the traffic squad, all because of the other party’s status. And of course she couldn’t just copy them and report King Jingyao’s identity, so she ended up being dragged here for no reason...
The little girl’s dad had shown up too. Sure enough, he was a bit of a figure, but he didn’t know Lin Hua yet, so his attitude was pretty arrogant. He didn’t speak to Lin Hua directly, just had his people talk to her. Anyway it was still that same stupid argument: they wanted a brand new car.
Lin Hua was so mad she laughed. "I’ve never heard of this kind of logic in my life."
A minor leader came over, leaned close and whispered, "I can tell you’re a respectable person. Two, three million probably isn’t a big number to you. This one is... not easy to mess with. Just settle it and everyone can go their own way. Taking a small loss is a blessing."
"And this is how you handle things?" Lin Hua slanted a look at him and let out a cold chuckle. "Two, three million really isn’t a big deal to me, but that’s still my own money. Why should I just hand it over?"
The man gave an awkward laugh. "I only said it because you’re a respectable person, trying to offer you a solution. Her car is still a car when she takes it back—repair it a bit and it’ll be as good as new. Just treat it like you bought yourself a second-hand car."
Lin Hua found it even funnier. "That’s your logic?"
The man rubbed his nose, then smiled again. "Whether it is or isn’t, that’s all I’ve got. You can’t afford to offend them, so you decide what to do!"
He tacked on an extra line, light but loaded: "Given that person’s status around here, if you want to keep living in Beicheng, you’ll have to bow your head."
Lin Hua looked at him, then at that arrogant father-and-daughter pair.
The minor leader kept patiently persuading: "I know it’s hard for you to swallow your pride right now. You’ve got status too, right? How about this—why don’t you let your family handle it? I’m sure there’s someone on your side who understands how things really work."
Lin Hua actually humored him. "Fine, they’ll be here in a minute."
Right as she spoke, Wang Jingchuan came rushing in covered in sweat, clearly anxious. As soon as he arrived he shook hands with that minor leader. "Hello, hello."
The minor leader took one look and went, huh... He’d thought it would be someone with a lot of status, but turns out it was just this.
To be fair, you couldn’t really blame Secretary Wang; there was some event out in the countryside today, so he’d dressed simply to fit the occasion. Besides, he wasn’t Lin Hua’s husband.
Secretary Wang was always sharp as a tack. From the eye contact and facial expressions he more or less guessed what they were thinking, so he gave a very mild, reserved smile. "I’m an employee from Ms. Lin’s household. From what I see, this is just a misunderstanding."
An employee?
The minor leader’s interest perked up again, but he still explained the situation in a dismissive tone, and had the guts to repeat everything he’d said to Lin Hua. Wang Jingchuan listened with a polite smile, then turned toward that reckless man surnamed Yin and his clueless daughter and asked, "So this is Mr. Yin’s position? A scratch on the car and you demand a brand-new one? That doesn’t make sense on any level, does it?"
That Mr. Yin didn’t recognize Secretary Wang. He took a haughty sip of tea and said, "My word is the rule here. What, you got a problem with that?"
Lin Hua was about to speak, but Wang Jingchuan reached out to stop her, then said lightly, "All right. Since you’re standing by this, Mr. Yin, there’s nothing more to discuss. I’ve recorded everything."
As he spoke, he pulled out a small voice recorder.
Sure enough, the old ginger is always spicier!
In an instant, Mr. Yin’s face changed. He shot to his feet. "No one in Beicheng dares to negotiate terms with me."
Secretary Wang’s expression flipped too. He gave a cold laugh. "Really? Then I’d like to see how many lives you’ve got, to walk sideways across Beicheng."
The minor leader was stunned.
Who the hell is this guy?
Is he playing the white side or the black side?
He looked so gentle and scholarly, yet the moment things started he pulled such a vicious move?
The minor leader had wanted to mediate, mainly because he could tell that this refined man who still had some dirt on him might actually be dangerous. There had to be someone backing him. Right—if the master hadn’t come himself and had only sent a hitter, then the master’s status must be so high that... he’s not convenient to show his face?
This was also the first time Lin Hua had seen Secretary Wang like this, and she was a bit stunned. She’d thought Jingchuan was only good with pen and paper, never expected he’d be this seasoned when it came to playing the thug. Not just her—even Little Wang Yue was full of admiration, clapping his hands. "Uncle, you’re amazing."
Wang Jingchuan had been all hard edges a moment ago, but when he saw Wang Yue his brows and eyes immediately softened into a smile. "Uncle’s got mud on him. I’ll hold you later."
Little Wang Yue tipped up his adorably small head. "Where’s Dad?"
Wang Jingchuan patted his head. "Mr. Wang isn’t convenient to come up. He’s in the car downstairs right now. You and Mom go down first. Uncle will stay here."
"No, I want to stay and protect Uncle." Little Wang Yue said, pulling out a toy gun and going BIU BIU a few times.
Lin Hua laughed. "Jingchuan, then we’ll head down first."
She knew what Wang Jingchuan was capable of—there was no way he’d take a loss. And he definitely wouldn’t have come alone. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, four bodyguards in black walked in from the door, each around two meters tall, intimidating at a glance, but when they faced Lin Hua their brows and eyes were full of respect. "Madam, Mr. Wang is downstairs. Please go down first."
Lin Hua turned and nodded at Wang Jingchuan. "Then I’m going down, Jingchuan. We’ll go have dinner with Grandma later."
Wang Jingchuan patted the dust off his clothes and smiled. "Dressed like this, as long as Grandma doesn’t mind."
As soon as he finished, everyone there was scared stupid.
Mr. Wang... Jingchuan... Grandma... Each word was enough to make the whole of Beicheng tremble three times over!
In all of Beicheng, who doesn’t know that Mr. Wang’s secretary-general is Wang Jingchuan, and who doesn’t know the Wang Family’s old madam? So the lady standing here was Mr. Wang’s wife, Lin Hua. The age matched, and oh, she had a child with her too. Rumor had it the kid was around six or seven.
The minor leader was about to faint.
The man surnamed Yin wanted to faint too. His heart was trembling, his hands and feet were at a loss, cold sweat breaking out down his back... It was over. He’d disturbed a living Buddha.
He immediately looked over at his daughter. This was pure suicide—of all the people to run into, she’d run into Mr. Wang’s wife.
But the little girl still had no sense of danger and kept her chin up. "Dad, no matter who they bring, none of them can top you. I’m getting this car for sure."
"Is that so." A low voice sounded. "I’ve never heard of anyone who can walk off with so much as a needle or thread from the Wang Family."
King Jingyao had been worried downstairs too, afraid his wife and son would suffer a loss. Mainly, even though Jingchuan’s tongue was sharp and his mind was crafty, he was physically weak as a kitten. So he’d sent the bodyguards up first and followed right behind.
The moment he appeared, everyone was frozen.
Especially Mr. Yin, whose heart gave a violent jolt.
Then his legs buckled and he dropped straight to his knees...
It really was Mr. Wang.
