Chapter 196: I Spared Your Dog Life Because You Are Ha De’s Father!
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled casually. He said, “Actually, it was nothing. Bureau Chief Liu just knelt down and apologized to me. He said he was overwhelmed by my presence and would never dare to wrong me again.”
Tang Chen’s boast was top-class. Luckily, Liu Jiangnan was not there, or he would have been so angry he’d vomit blood.
The female journalist looked stunned and said, “You mean Bureau Chief Liu knelt before you? But wasn’t he very firm in his attitude earlier? What did you do that made him change?”
Tang Chen put on a profound expression and said, “Journalist, you wouldn’t understand. Although Bureau Chief Liu is shameless, perverted, idiotic, and brainless, that guy still has a bit of a conscience. Someone like me, a good kid who uses skincare products after being kissed by a girl and even takes toilet paper from public restrooms—after he realized he had wronged me, he knelt in front of me and cried his eyes out. He almost licked my boots. Ah, journalist sister, you mustn’t spread this around. We have to save some face for Bureau Chief Liu.”
Tang Chen was really ruthless. After this narcissistic and degrading talk about Bureau Chief Liu, even Yang Mi found it hard to listen. This guy was just too good at talking nonsense. He was really shameless.
The female journalist looked stunned again. This girl naively believed it and nodded excitedly, saying, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t report this as headline news.”
“Uh.” This time it was Tang Chen’s turn to be speechless. Why was this girl’s intelligence so worrying? How could she believe such nonsense?
The System sighed in a human-like manner and said, “Respected Host, this System must say that the intelligence of human girls nowadays is really a bit low. This System feels deeply sorrowful.”
Sorrowful, my ass! Is that your line? Damn it, and you’re pretending to be profound now?
Tang Chen casually said a few words to dismiss the journalist. He was afraid that if he kept talking with this girl, his own intelligence would drop too.
The rest was much simpler. Tang Chen had already been released, so Boss Pang and Chen Laosan’s people left. Only Tang Chen, Yang Mi, and Liu Yanran remained outside the police station.
“Police Sister, thank you too this time. I didn’t expect you to care so much about me.” Liu Yanran was there because Yang Mi had called her. Tang Chen was touched and went over to thank her.
Liu Yanran just waved her hand and smiled, saying, “It’s nothing, don’t be so polite. If Yang Mi hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known you were in trouble. By the way, you’re really quite resourceful. Even if I hadn’t come, you could have easily handled this matter.”
Tang Chen took the praise without hesitation and said with a smile, “Actually, all of this is Sister Xiao’s credit. If she hadn’t posted on Weibo as I requested, it wouldn’t have alerted the higher-ups, and Bureau Chief Liu wouldn’t have been pressured.”
Liu Yanran suddenly understood. So Tang Chen was playing that card. No wonder Liu Jiangnan suddenly changed his attitude. How would he dare to oppose the higher-ups?
“But you still need to be careful. Even if Governor Ha failed this time, he’ll still come after you next time.” Liu Yanran spoke cautiously. She hadn’t forgotten what Liu Jiangnan had told her.
Tang Chen was taken aback and said, “What does this have to do with Governor Ha? Sister, what are you talking about?”
Liu Yanran said in confusion, “Because I heard from Liu Jiangnan that this matter was directed by Madame Ha. You didn’t know?”
“Madame Ha?” Tang Chen’s eyes turned cold. He said, “You mean Liu Jiangnan was instructed by that old bitch Madame Ha to deal with me? Police Sister, what else do you know?”
Tang Chen didn’t know the reason behind it. He had been wondering why Liu Jiangnan suddenly targeted him. If it was under Madame Ha’s orders, it made much more sense.
Liu Yanran sighed and said, “So you really didn’t know. I heard from Uncle Chen that Governor Ha removed him from his position a couple of days ago. Then he sent Liu Jiangnan here to go after us. If anything had happened to you today, I would have been their next target.”
“Uncle Chen was removed from his position?” Tang Chen was stunned again and muttered to himself, “That old woman Madame Ha is quite the strategist. Knowing we have ties with Uncle Chen, she removed him first so we’d lose our support!”
“Tang Chen, who is this Governor Ha? Is he the governor of our province? How did you get into a conflict with the provincial governor?”
Yang Mi didn’t know about the previous incident with Ha De, so it was normal for her to ask.
Tang Chen looked at her and said, “I’ll tell you in detail another time. Since they’ve gone this far, we can’t let people like that stay around.”
“Tang Chen, what are you going to do? I’m warning you, plotting to harm a governor is a serious crime!” When Liu Yanran heard Tang Chen say this, she knew he was thinking of killing. She quickly warned him.
Tang Chen glanced at the nervous Yang Mi and Liu Yanran, then laughed loudly and said, “Police Sister, don’t worry. I’m not stupid enough to try to murder a governor. Besides, the governor is in Jingdu right now. How am I supposed to get there tonight? Do you think I’m Superman or Peter Pan?”
“It’s best if you don’t have that idea.” Liu Yanran felt relieved. What Tang Chen said made sense. Even if he had that idea, he couldn’t instantly reach Jingdu to assassinate the governor.
After talking for a while, Tang Chen and Yang Mi left first. It was very late, so the two fell fast asleep as soon as they got home.
But what Yang Mi didn’t know was that after she fell asleep, Tang Chen, who also had his eyes closed, suddenly sat up. He pushed the door open and tiptoed out.
“Respected Host, this System knew you wouldn’t give up.” The System said helplessly. If the Host could be so magnanimous after being messed with and not seek revenge, it would have been a miracle.
“Shut up. This Young Master is just going to teach them a lesson, to let them know that some people can’t be offended so easily. That’s all!” Tang Chen got into the Extravagant Battle Car and brushed off the question. Governor Ha, Madame Ha, I gave you face last time, and you still dared to challenge me? You brought this on yourselves!
“Xiao Mei, activate Flight Mode!”
Meanwhile, at Governor Ha’s home in Jingdu, Governor Ha was sitting on the sofa in his study, rubbing his temples, unable to sleep.
With such a big incident happening, how could he sleep? He had just called Liu Jiangnan, who told him he had released Tang Chen. This made him feel a little more at ease.
He didn’t dare call the Party Secretary because he knew that if he did, he would be in for another round of criticism. Thinking about his future, the image he had built for so long, all ruined because of the woman in his family—aside from unwillingness, he was just unwilling.
“Are you regretting?” A half-smiling voice came through. The study’s lights turned on, and Tang Chen sat in front of Governor Ha, speaking softly.
“Ah, who are you!” Governor Ha was so startled he nearly fell to the ground. Who was this guy? Why did he suddenly appear in his home?
Tang Chen sneered and said, “It seems Governor Ha has a short memory. Weren’t you the one who had that idiot Liu Jiangnan arrest me today?”
“You… you’re Tang Chen?” Governor Ha broke out in a cold sweat. Why did Tang Chen suddenly appear here? Was he here to kill him?
Tang Chen showed a bloodthirsty smile and said, “That’s right, I’m Tang Chen. Governor Ha, I think you’re really brainless. Last time, this Young Master saved your son. I thought the matter was over, that we wouldn’t have any more grievances. But you actually listened to that bitch wife of yours and came after me, Police Sister, and Big Brother Chen. Do you think just because you sit in the governor’s seat, you’re untouchable?”
Tang Chen’s presence was no weaker than Governor Ha’s, who had long been in a position of power. In fact, his killing intent was far stronger!
“Don’t be impulsive. This time it was my mistake. It was all my wife’s fault. I’ve already released you. If you want me to apologize, I can. You’re still young; you need to think about the consequences!”
Governor Ha tried to persuade him with both carrots and sticks, his trembling lips showing his fear.
Tang Chen gave a cold laugh and said, “You’re scared? You think I want to kill you? Wrong. I won’t kill you. I spared your dog life because you are Ha De’s father. Otherwise, based on what you did to me, I would have killed you long ago!”
