"So, can you give me a reasonable explanation?" Hao Jian repeated his question twice.
But the director still acted as if he hadn't heard, his face flushed red from anger, struggling to catch his breath. It was the first time in years someone dared to openly challenge his authority, and the worst part was he had nothing to say.
What was he supposed to say? What was he supposed to do?
Yan Chen's actions had escalated beyond a simple matter of personal credit; it had ventured into the realm of criminal law. If it were just a matter of personal credit and character, he might have been able to brush it off, not taking a small common citizen seriously, but now that it had escalated to this level, he couldn't contain it even if he wanted to.
The director shot Yan Chen an angry glare, then with a swish of his sleeve, he stormed out in anger.
Hao Jian said, "Sigh, Director, you need to give me justice!"
The director acted as if he didn't hear, immediately leaving the stage and then the venue.
A large group of people followed him out, and another group was busy trying to persuade the director.
At this moment, Hao Jian stood on the stage alone, helplessly waving his hand, saying, "Since no one will seek justice for me, I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself."
Then he looked at the crowd below the stage.
At this moment, the leaders couldn't say anything either; the director was so mad that he left, so what could they say?
At this point, Yan Chen suddenly stood up and pointed at Hao Jian, saying, "Kid, don't push your luck!"
Hao Jian said, "Is that another threat to me?"
Yan Chen suddenly snorted coldly, then said, "Since you want to play with me, fine, this time you've won!"
Then Yan Chen took off his police hat and slowly undressed from his police uniform, placing it on a chair, staring angrily at Hao Jian on the stage.
Then he said, "Fine, you've won. This whole farce was just about getting me to take off this police uniform, right? Fine, I'll do as you wish."
Hao Jian silently nodded, this guy wasn't completely clueless, he understood his intentions.
Yan Chen pointed at Hao Jian again and said, "Now that I've taken off my police uniform, I'm not part of the police force anymore. Believe me, I have ways to make you regret this, just wait and see."
After making grandiose statements, he turned around and left the scene without looking back.
The crowd fell silent, so a leader ordered someone to collect Yan Chen's uniform, and then arranged for people to leave.
A perfectly good commendation ceremony had turned into this; it had indeed become a farce. If they stayed any longer, who knows what else might be exposed.
This was the police department's shame, and also their own shame, but they were helpless because they were in the wrong.
Soon, only Liang Yuwei and Hao Jian were left in the venue.
Hao Jian initially thought Liang Yuwei would blame him, but surprisingly, she didn't.
Liang Yuwei walked up and said, "Let's go!"
Hao Jian found it a bit strange, logically speaking, he had offended her boss, and their good relationship was known to the boss, meaning she had inadvertently offended her boss. Yet, Liang Yuwei didn't blame him.
Hao Jian said, "Okay!"
Then the two walked out of the venue.
Hao Jian asked, "You don't blame me?"
Liang Yuwei laughed and said, "Why would I blame you, it was his fault, not yours."
Hao Jian smiled, "As long as you don't blame me!"
Then he casually stopped a car and told the driver the address, asking him to drive there.
But halfway there, when passing by a small pedestrian street, Liang Yuwei suddenly asked the driver to stop, got out of the car, and told Hao Jian she wanted to take a stroll.
Since that was the case, Hao Jian had to accompany her. After paying the fare, the driver drove away.
After eating along the way and enjoying themselves, Liang Yuwei suddenly said, "I feel like going to a food stall to get skewers and drink!"
This personality really resembled Liang Yuwei's; since she wanted skewers and drinks, Hao Jian had a good place in mind, the same one he had gone to with Xie Qianqian earlier, and he could call Yellow Hair and the others over.
After all, they hadn't had the chance to thank them for helping with the matter of the Yang family father and son, so they might as well do it this time.
Hao Jian told Liang Yuwei he would call a few friends, and she readily agreed.
So Hao Jian took out his phone and called Yellow Hair, who was overjoyed when he heard the reason.
Because previously Hao Jian had sent Spice Ginger to meet Yellow Hair, and after Yellow Hair learned Hao Jian's identity, he was overjoyed. This is what you call landing a wealthy backer, this is what you call hitting the jackpot.
It was as if a blessing had fallen from the sky; such a big shot asking him to go drink and eat skewers, how could he not be excited?
Yellow Hair immediately gathered his brothers, but instead of arming themselves, he told them to call Hao Jian 'boss' when they saw him, and to be respectful, or they'd be kicked out of the gang.
Seeing how much Yellow Hair valued Hao Jian, the others naturally dared not slack off.
Just like that, Yellow Hair led a large group of people, dressed in suits and leather shoes, bustling towards the skewer place they visited the other night.
Actually, the skewer place wasn't very far away, they went there regularly, so they were quite regular customers, and even the owner was familiar with them.
Gangsters in suits and leather shoes, that's cultured gangsters for you.
At least that's how Yellow Hair understood it.
A large group of people on the street were surprised to see Yellow Hair, who was usually so roguish, dressed like this. However, the suits and ties didn't look awkward on Yellow Hair and his crew at all. They didn't seem like gangsters anymore, but in essence, they still were.
The street barbecue owner was still that Big Fatty.
As soon as Big Fatty saw Yellow Hair, he said, "Hey, Brother Huang, you look quite flashy today with that outfit. What are you here for? A barbecue skewer?"
With the support from Spice Ginger over the past few days, Yellow Hair's number of followers had increased several times over.
Yellow Hair waved his hand to signal his boys to sit down, nearly filling up all the seats at the barbecue stall.
Big Fatty was momentarily stunned by the sight and asked, "Brother Huang, what are you ordering?"
This many people would be a big business. If it were a different gang, they might have tried to dine and dash, but he knew Yellow Hair's character. As a boss who valued loyalty, Yellow Hair had never stiffed him on drinks or skewers. The only times he ever owed money was when Qian Chao had exceeded the budget, but they quickly paid back later.
Seeing such a big business opportunity made the owner a bit tempted.
Then Yellow Hair rattled off a huge order. Since Hao Jian was coming here for drinks and skewers, he wanted to treat him well.
Thus, the owner happily scurried off with the menu to prepare for such a large business.
Meanwhile, Hao Jian was wandering around the streets with Liang Yuwei, thinking that Yellow Hair should have everything ready by now, so he prepared to take Liang Yuwei to get drinks and skewers.
Then they hailed a cab on the street and headed to their destination.
Just as Hao Jian left, a few people stepped out from the side. The leader took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, Brother Chen, they hailed a cab. From what I overheard, it seems they're going to the barbecue stall!"
The person on the other end of the phone snorted and said, "Follow them and call me as soon as they reach their destination. Hmph! Since they dare mess with me, I'll show them what I'm capable of!"
"Alright, Brother Chen!"
Then they hung up and tailed the cab that Hao Jian was in.
And in the car, Hao Jian couldn't help but chuckle to himself for no apparent reason.
......
The car quickly reached the destination. After paying the fare, Hao Jian and Liang Yuwei got off.
Once they got out of the car, Yellow Hair saw Hao Jian.
Yellow Hair immediately stood up, and seeing him stand, his followers did likewise.
Yellow Hair quickly walked over, nodding his head respectfully and said to Hao Jian, "Young Master Hao, you're here!"
Hao Jian nodded.
At this moment, Yellow Hair suddenly turned to his followers and said, "What are you standing around for? Greet Young Master Hao!"
The gang of suit-clad followers immediately bent over and said to Hao Jian, "Hello, Young Master Hao!"
Hao Jian waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.
Yellow Hair, grinning, pulled out two stools for Hao Jian and Liang Yuwei to sit down, which they did.
Yellow Hair had seen Xie Qianqian before, so seeing a new unfamiliar girl beside Hao Jian, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he said to Hao Jian, "Is this the big sister-in-law?"
Liang Yuwei, who was drinking water, couldn't hold back and sprayed the tea in her mouth all over.
It splattered all over Yellow Hair's face.
Liang Yuwei quickly took out tissues to wipe Yellow Hair's face, but Yellow Hair took the tissues and said, "No worries, no worries, I'll do it myself!"
Then Liang Yuwei glanced at Hao Jian and said, "Big sister-in-law! Who would marry him?"
Hao Jian rolled his eyes helplessly.
Yellow Hair awkwardly chuckled; he initially thought the other night with Xie Qianqian, and today was the real big sister-in-law, but it turned out he misspoke again, and today she wasn't either.
It seems that truly important figures are indeed formidable. Yellow Hair's gaze towards Hao Jian was filled only with admiration.
Truly impressive!
Soon after, the owner began bringing out the food. Liang Yuwei, worthy of being a heroine among women, rolled up her sleeves and dug in once the skewers were served, even opening a bottle of beer, pouring a glass, and initiating a toast with Yellow Hair: "Cheers!"
Yellow Hair immediately raised his glass and clinked it with Liang Yuwei's, saying, "Cheers!"
Since they'd talked about Yellow Hair on the way in the car, Liang Yuwei knew who he was, so she didn't ask.
The first plate of skewers was quickly devoured by Liang Yuwei. At this point, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Owner, hurry up, we're all out!"
The owner wiped his sweat, feeling overwhelmed with so many people.
But he forced himself to say, "Alright, it'll be just a moment, coming right up!"
