"What? Director Wu, arrest him immediately! This is utter defiance!"
Lin Yi and Zheng Tianqi's faces turned ashen upon hearing this. They waved their hands, urging them on.
It was one thing to threaten them, but to threaten Er Zhu? No matter who he was, he deserved a couple of days in jail!
Meanwhile, Liu Tiancheng’s eyes were filled with shock. He hadn't expected the town mayor to be present!
Normally, village chiefs recognized the town mayor. However, they were colleagues, and today’s opening ceremony was a private affair!
This meant he had offended three government officials today!
Liu Tiancheng suddenly recalled what Uncle Liu had said earlier. Indeed, there were quite a few important figures at this opening ceremony!
But, it didn't matter. They were all from this small town, while he hailed from the provincial capital!
"If you dare to arrest me, I'll have my father tear down your government offices and police station!"
Liu Tiancheng yelled, pointing at Wu Zhengxiong and the others, his bodyguards egging him on.
"This is outright rebellion! If this were my son, I'd beat him until he couldn't see straight!"
Lin Yi's face was flushed red with anger, his fists making cracking sounds.
But as the mayor of the town, any physical altercation would have significant repercussions!
"Enough! If you keep shouting, I'll bankrupt your entire Liu family!"
Er Zhu hadn't expected Liu Tiancheng to become increasingly brazen. He had already initiated a video call with Liu Lianliang.
"Haha, you think you're so tough, boy? Talking about bankrupting my family, you think you're worthy?"
Liu Tiancheng burst into laughter, his eyes filled with mockery. But the moment he saw his father, his smile froze.
This kid actually knew his father!
But it didn't matter. So what if he knew him? He was his father's only son!
"Dad, hurry up and save me! This guy is using his position to get me arrested and he injured our family's bodyguard!"
Liu Tiancheng's eyes darted around. He pointed at the police officers beside him, then glanced at the bodyguard who had lost an arm, and complained with a mix of grievance and fury.
This kid actually thought he could use his father to threaten him. What an idiot!
"Mr. Liu, your son is quite arrogant, daring to threaten government officials!"
"Mr. Liu, I'm going to lock your son up today, no matter what!"
"Er Zhu is our friend. Daring to cause trouble at Er Zhu's opening ceremony, we will not let him off!"
As soon as Liu Tiancheng finished speaking, Wu Zhengxiong, Lin Yi, and Zheng Tianqi approached, roaring with fury.
Seeing these three, Liu Lianliang’s face turned green. His anger surged to the heavens!
He dared to cause trouble at Er Zhu's place and offend government officials? This boy was insane!
"Dad, look! They're bullying me like this! Hurry up and come!"
*Screech!*
Just as Liu Tiancheng finished speaking, the sound of a massive brake screech echoed. A black luxury car stopped at the entrance, and Liu Lianliang emerged.
Liu Lianliang had come to attend Er Zhu's opening ceremony, only to encounter such a disgraceful situation!
Government officials were lodging complaints against his son one after another. This child absolutely needed to be taught a lesson!
"Dad, quickly arrest them all, especially this kid! He even said he'd bankrupt us!"
Seeing his father, Liu Tiancheng felt like he had found his pillar of support. He furiously pointed at Wu Zhengxiong and the others, his gaze finally settling on Er Zhu. He looked as if he had heard the most absurd joke.
A mere richest man in a small town actually dared to claim he'd bankrupt them? This kid must be crazy!
*Slap!*
Liu Tiancheng was about to say more when a loud slap landed on his face. Liu Tiancheng saw stars and almost lost his balance.
"Er Zhu is my biggest partner. If he withdraws his investment, we will truly go bankrupt."
The statement brought a hush over the crowd. All eyes turned to Er Zhu, who remained unfazed.
Everyone knew Er Zhu had investments in Huabei City, but they had only considered them minor ventures. They never imagined he was in league with the richest man!
And not just that, but he was the richest man's largest business partner!
"You've not only offended my biggest client, but you've also offended government officials! I'll beat you to death, you animal!"
Before Liu Tiancheng could react, his father's fist landed directly, sending him sprawling to the ground!
"What are you all standing around for? Beat him! Beat him hard!"
Liu Lianliang, still seething, waved to his bodyguards, and the sounds of fists and kicks ensued.
"I'm your only son! You can't hit me like this!"
"You little brat, you just wait! I'll kill you and those three old geezers!"
Liu Tiancheng shielded his head, struggling and shouting. His eyes were filled with murderous intent!
He hadn't expected this kid to be so formidable, with not only government officials protecting him but also being a business partner of the Liu family!
But so what? They might be partners, but in Liu Tiancheng's eyes, Er Zhu was just a dog to the Liu family!
If he dared to withdraw his investment, he would make sure this kid disappeared without a trace!
"I apologize, everyone. It is my fault for not raising my son properly. I will ensure strict discipline from now on."
Hearing such arrogant words, Liu Lianliang's head throbbed. He suppressed his anger and hastily apologized to everyone.
The mess this boy had created today was enormous. Fortunately, only the people of Liu Town knew about it. If it spread to Huabei City or even the capital, it would be disastrous!
"Mr. Liu, your son is quite audacious, daring to disrupt my savior's opening ceremony!"
"Mr. Liu, your son indeed needs educating. Er Zhu is a young man I greatly admire!"
Just as Liu Lianliang breathed a sigh of relief, Elder Chen and Elder Fang also arrived, their faces grim and their eyes burning with fury!
"Elder Chen, Elder Fang! You... I... he..."
"Beat him severely! I'll take responsibility if he dies!"
Seeing Elder Chen and Elder Fang, Liu Lianliang's eyes were filled with shock and terror. He wanted to explain but didn't know how. He could only order his bodyguards to strike with lethal force!
This Er Zhu was truly remarkable, actually knowing Elder Chen and Elder Fang!
Moreover, judging by the elders' demeanor, they were very close to Er Zhu!
The Fang family was one of the top affluent families in Huabei City!
The Chen family was a first-rate influential clan in the capital!
Coupled with the officials of Liu Town...
This was truly a formidable power network!
At this moment, Liu Lianliang's gaze towards Er Zhu changed. He had previously thought they were equals, but now he realized he had been the one to benefit!
"Er Zhu, I am truly sorry. If I had known this brat would cause trouble here, I would have broken his legs before letting him come!"
Liu Lianliang swallowed hard in shock and rushed to Er Zhu's side, apologizing with the utmost humility.
