As the crowd waited in shocked confusion, about two minutes later, Wei Zixiong returned before them, holding Chu Lingtian's phone in his right hand, his expression grim.
"Dad, since you've already called in the armed police, stop wasting words with Wang Haiyang and Xiao Yuanshan. Order them to shoot this bastard named Chu dead right now! Let's see who dares to do anything to us father and son!"
Wei Song, seeing his father Wei Zixiong return, immediately said with a sinister and arrogant expression.
*Slap!*
To everyone's surprise, Wei Zixiong looked up at Wei Song and, with his left hand, delivered a heavy, backhanded slap to Wei Song's face.
The resounding sound of the slap stunned everyone present.
What was going on?
Why did Wei Zixiong slap Wei Song?
Just moments ago, Wei Zixiong had twisted facts and disregarded laws to protect his son, Wei Song, without any bottom line. This showed how much he doted on him. But why would he suddenly slap him now?
"Dad, what... what's wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Wei Song covered the burning pain on half of his face and asked his father, Wei Zixiong, with a look of panic.
Wei Zixiong glared at Wei Song and cursed, "You scoundrel! Apologize to Mr. Chu immediately!"
Hearing Wei Zixiong's words, Wei Song and everyone else present were stunned.
No one could have imagined that after Wei Zixiong took Chu Lingtian's call, his entire demeanor towards Chu Lingtian would change so drastically.
"What... what is going on?"
"Wei Zixiong's attitude was so tough earlier, he didn't even give face to Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dachang City Military Region. But after taking Chu Lingtian's call, he returned and first slapped his own son, Wei Song, heavily, and then ordered Wei Song to apologize to Chu Lingtian immediately. I'm sure it was that phone call that caused this."
"Could it be that the call Chu guy made was truly to Wei Zixiong's superior?"
"That's impossible! This guy named Chu looks ordinary, dresses ordinarily, and seems like just a common person. How could he possibly have the phone number of Wei Zixiong's superior?"
"Wei Zixiong is the mayor of Dachang City, so his superior would be the city party secretary or the provincial governor. How could an ordinary person like Chu possibly have the phone of such a super important figure? Even if he did, why would such a powerful figure listen to him? He's not the most influential person in Long Guo!"
"......"
Everyone was filled with doubt and whispered amongst themselves.
But everyone, including the three beauties Bai Mei, Guo Xiaoyan, and Xiao Lengyue, had underestimated Chu Lingtian's strength.
Chu Lingtian was the commander of Long Guo's most elite unit, the Wolf Warrior Commando, and a legendary figure personally granted the "execute first, report later" privilege by the King of Long Guo.
He had returned to the city on a secret mission, hiding his true identity and strength to avoid drawing attention and to complete his mission smoothly.
However, when necessary, Chu Lingtian only needed to give an order. Not only would the elite soldiers of the Wolf Warrior Commando return from the border to the city, awaiting his command and obeying without question, but he could also control the authority of all civil and military officials.
Therefore, Chu Lingtian was undoubtedly the most powerful person in Long Guo, second only to the King, truly second to one and above billions.
"Dad, you..."
Before Wei Song could finish speaking, Wei Zixiong slapped him again and then whispered something in his ear.
After a two-second pause, Wei Song gritted his teeth tightly, walked up to Chu Lingtian, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chu, I, I'm sorry. Everything that happened just now was my fault. I apologize to you!"
As Wei Song spoke, everyone present was shocked into speechlessness.
It was well known that Wei Song was notoriously arrogant and dissolute in Dachang City. Relying on his father, Wei Zixiong, being the mayor, and the unfathomable power of the Wei family, he had always been the one bullying others, and no one could bully him. He had always been the one demanding apologies, and no one could make him apologize.
Therefore, Wei Song bowing and apologizing to a seemingly ordinary man like Chu Lingtian in public was incredibly shocking.
"The person you need to apologize to is not me, but my friend Guo Xiaoyan."
Chu Lingtian replied coldly.
Wei Song looked up at Guo Xiaoyan, then moved his body, bowed to Guo Xiaoyan, and said, "Miss Guo, I'm sorry. I offended you. Please forgive me."
"It's, it's fine. Just as long as you don't tease girls like this anymore."
Guo Xiaoyan was pure and lovely, with a kind heart. As an ordinary girl, facing important figures like Wei Zixiong, Xiao Yuanshan, and Wang Haiyang, whom she usually only saw on television, she was already overwhelmed.
"Thank you for your magnanimity and forgiveness."
Wei Song replied.
At this moment, Wei Zixiong seized the opportunity, looked at Chu Lingtian, and said respectfully, "Mr. Chu, my son Wei Song was wrong tonight. I will educate him properly."
"Alright, since Xiaoyan has forgiven you, you can leave. But remember forever, if I ever find you breaking the law, abusing your power, or if I hear that you are still doing evil, I will not be lenient."
Chu Lingtian said with icy eyes and a commanding tone.
"Yes, yes!"
Wei Zixiong repeatedly agreed, then pulled his son Wei Song and quickly walked out of the bar.
Chu Lingtian then looked at Xiao Yuanshan and Wang Haiyang and said, "You can go too."
Wang Haiyang then took his son Wang Jie, along with a group of police officers and armed police. Xiao Yuanshan also took his daughter Xiao Lengyue and a few armed soldiers, and they all left the bar.
Soon, only Chu Lingtian, Guo Xiaoyan, Bai Mei, and Bai Mei's two personal female bodyguards remained in the bar.
Guo Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Chu Lingtian's face, and she asked with surprise, "Brother Chu, who... who exactly are you?"
After what had just happened, even the slowest person could realize that Chu Lingtian was definitely not an ordinary person. He must have extraordinary strength and powerful connections, otherwise, how could he have so easily forced away the police chief Wang Haiyang and the mayor Wei Zixiong?
Bai Mei's beautiful eyes were also fixed on Chu Lingtian. She also wanted to know who this man was, who appeared ordinary yet constantly shocked her.
"Haha, actually, I'm just someone who served in the army for a few years and is currently working as a security guard in the underground parking lot of Baoxue Company..."
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, his expression changed. With his left and right hands, he pulled Guo Xiaoyan and Bai Mei to the ground.
*Pfft!*
The next second, a bullet from a sniper rifle left a terrifying, piercing hole in the leather sofa where Chu Lingtian, Bai Mei, and Guo Xiaoyan had been sitting.
Chu Lingtian's left hand clutched Bai Mei's chest, and his right hand clutched Guo Xiaoyan's chest. He whispered in their ears, "Don't move."
