"You're calling for backup? What, are you going to call Leng Rushuang over here? Even if she shows up today, you're still paying for my Mercedes!" Zhao Ping said with a cold, disdainful expression. He couldn't believe this Leng Rushuang would have a close relationship with Li Se. The last time was just a coincidence; seeing him outnumbered, she intervened. Who was Leng Rushuang? Would she really come just because Li Se made a phone call?
"Some people just have no self-awareness. Calling for backup? Do you think you're Young Master Zhao, who can summon hundreds of people with a single call? If you can't get that many, then honestly, just kneel, apologize, and pay up!" the female internet celebrity mocked.
"Comparing your backup to Young Master Zhao's is utterly ridiculous!"
"Young Master Zhao can easily call a hundred professional fighters. How could this guy compare?"
"In the entire capital, besides the Hongmen, who else can stand against Young Master Zhao?"
"This kind of person has no self-awareness. They smashed Young Master Zhao's car and don't want to pay. What are they thinking?"
Zhao Ping's subordinates were all sneering and dismissive. In their eyes, Li Se was clearly asking for humiliation.
Li Se had already finished his call and looked at Zhao Ping with a half-smile. "Ten minutes. Let's see who calls the better reinforcements later."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ping burst into laughter. "Alright, I'd like to see what kind of riff-raff you can call. You dare to compete with me? I think you should make a few more calls. Otherwise, winning will be too easy for me."
Fang Chuwen knew Zhao Ping's capabilities. He quietly asked Li Se, "Doctor Li, should I also call some people?"
"No need. Sometimes, having more people isn't useful," Li Se shook his head.
"Uh..." Fang Chuwen didn't know what else to say. But then he seemed to recall something and quickly asked in a low voice, "Doctor Li, did you call the Feng family?"
"Why would I call them?" Li Se was taken aback, looking puzzled.
Seeing his expression, Fang Chuwen knew it wasn't the Feng family. He started to feel uneasy. Should he call some people too? But seeing Li Se's confidence, he decided to wait a bit longer.
Ten minutes passed quickly. Soon, minivan after minivan arrived. From them, men in uniform white outfits emerged – a hundred of them!
"Young Master Zhao!!!"
Upon seeing Zhao Ping, they all shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"There really are a hundred people..."
"As expected of Young Master Zhao. A life with cheats needs no explanation."
"Admittedly, it's surprising that this fellow knows Fang Chuwen, but offending Young Master Zhao, without any real capability, will require him to pay a heavy price!"
"He'll probably have to kneel and apologize, and pay for the car. That's why I said, why be so impulsive and smash the car? Isn't he just asking for trouble?"
The onlookers could already imagine how miserable Li Se's fate would be. It would be extremely dire, especially since Zhao Ping had summoned a hundred men.
Even if Li Se managed to call someone, could they possibly compare to Zhao Ping's men? That was absolutely impossible.
Zhao Ping lit a cigarette and smiled at Li Se. "Where are the people you called? I don't see them. What's going on? Was that phone call for nothing? Or did they get scared when they saw how many people we brought? It's fine, tell them to come. I guarantee I won't kill them!"
"Young Master Zhao, look at him. He's too scared to speak. He's probably intimidated. He still wants to act tough for this woman. Does he even deserve it?" the female internet celebrity scoffed. She still harbored resentment from being dismissed by Li Se earlier.
Seeing that Li Se still remained silent, Zhao Ping grew more triumphant. He deliberately walked up to Li Se, exhaled smoke, and said with a smile, "Are you scared to pee your pants? If I knew this would happen, why did you act out in the first place? Before, Leng Rushuang protected you. Now, let's see who can protect you. You smashed my car and even dared to hit my people. However, I'm a magnanimous person. As long as you kneel and apologize, and let your woman strip in public, I might consider letting you off the hook!"
"Young Master Zhao, why waste words talking to him? Look, he's stunned. Just pin him to the ground. As for this woman, drag her away," the female internet celebrity suggested.
"Ah, you can't say it like that. I'm not someone who forcibly takes women. I hope they will do it willingly," Zhao Ping said with a smile.
"If you kneel, perhaps we can still discuss this," Li Se said calmly.
"Did I hear you right? You're threatening me now?" Zhao Ping was almost incredulous. At this point, Li Se was still threatening him? This was simply a joke.
"Haha..." All hundred men couldn't help but laugh, as if mocking Li Se's ignorance.
The onlookers were also speechless. Couldn't he see the disparity? A hundred people, and they still couldn't scare this kid?
Wail wail wail...
Just then, the sound of sirens echoed. More than a dozen police cars arrived, and the first to step out was none other than Chen Yuan.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ping's smile instantly froze because he saw an exceptionally important figure – Chen Yuan, the patriarch of the Chen family.
The Chen family was considered a top-tier family. Although not on the same level as the Ye family, they were still not to be trifled with.
Upon seeing a hundred people gathered there, Chen Yuan's face turned grim. "What, are you guys running a triad operation?"
Many police officers had also arrived. Although their numbers were fewer than Zhao Ping's men, they were armed with guns, making their combat effectiveness entirely different.
"Director Chen... it's just..." Zhao Ping tried to explain.
But Chen Yuan didn't even spare him a glance. He walked past Zhao Ping and directly approached Li Se, asking, "Doctor Li, are these people criminals?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"Chen... Director Chen, did you call him?" Zhao Ping's eyes widened in disbelief. Li Se had made a call earlier, but he hadn't taken it seriously at all.
More than ten minutes had passed, and none of the people Li Se had called had arrived. He assumed they were too scared to come, especially given the imposing display he had put on.
But he never imagined that a single phone call would summon the director of the police bureau. Was this some kind of international joke?
At this moment, Zhao Ping finally realized he had kicked a steel plate.
