Chapter 95: People leave, tea gets cold_l
Translator: 549690339
As the saying goes, even before you kick a dog, you should consider its owner. No matter how arrogant this follower might seem, he only acts this way to others. He only asserts himself to boost his master’s reputation. It wouldn’t matter if he was applying dog-like loyalty or anything else; it’s all a matter of their internal affairs which they could handle behind closed doors. However, in front of so many people, especially when those present are colleagues from the sa departnt, if Liu Yang really acquiesces to Nie Zhenbang’s words, then he would lose face completely. No one then would dare to associate with him in the future.
Consequently, Liu Yang’s expression had darkened, looking at the young girl Dong Wan sitting close to Nie Zhenbang. He’d clearly heard the bantering words and now, old resentnts and new grudges welled up in his heart, causing his face to darken even more.
His face was stormy as he sneered coldly: “Little Nie, you should be more humble in life. In Jingcheng, the water’s deep. You can offend soone if you’re careless. It would be terrible to end up eting a grim end.”
At this point, his view of Dong Wan had changed. People change. Initially Dong Wan was famously known as a cold beauty in the committee, not showing favoritism to anyone, which attracted Liu Yang’s patience. After all, for won like her, patience usually pays off. However, now, seeing Dong Wan and Nie Zhenbang acting so intimate. He didn’t believe for a mont that it was due to work matters. One was in charge of Qinglian, the other led the Young Pioneers; two departnts that had nothing to do with each other. His viewpoint had taken a shift.
It’s like a fairy from heaven suddenly turning into a prostitute. At this mont, Liu Yang was watching Dong Wan, and he said in a deep voice, “Dong Wan, you can stop pretending now. I thought you were a virtuous and hot-tempered woman, but it seems that you’re nothing special, just a bit more attractive. This guy here, he’s even younger than you. I didn’t expect you to have such a preference, an older woman going for a younger man.”
When his words ended, Dong Wan’s face turned pale in anger. She stood up, her face flushing. When had the sixth daughter of the Dong family ever been so humiliated? When had she ever been spoken to like this? Dong Wan rose, her finger shaking as she pointed at Liu Yang, “You… You bastard!”
Nie Zhenbang was standing now too. Normally he could tolerate so verbal irony against himself. After all, compared to his past life, this was nothing. But now it was Dong Wan who had been hurt.
Nie Zhenbang had to intervene. If the old man found out that Dong Wan had been bullied and he, as a man, hid in the background, then the old man’s crutch would likely end up hitting him.
Therefore, looking at Liu Yang, Nie Zhenbang’s expression turned serious, and he said sternly, “Liu Yang, I’m giving you a final chance. Apologize to Dong Wan, otherwise, don’t bla for being ruthless.”
After saying this, Nie Zhenbang looked at Zheng Gensheng and the others nearby, his face carrying an apologetic smile, “Sorry everyone for causing this ss today. How about this? Let’s et here at the sa ti tomorrow. I’ll reserve a private room for us. Consider it a small gesture from .”
Turning towards Dong Wan, he said, “Wan, could you help send them to their cars?”
Dong Wan had now regained her composure, looking at Nie Zhenbang coming to her aid. The knight in shining armor scenario had befuddled her. Nie Zhenbang’s intent was clear to her. At the committee, Dong Wan’s identity was deliberately concealed. Nie Zhenbang mustn’t want her identity to be revealed. There’s a difference between guessing sothing and witnessing it first-hand.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zheng Gensheng knew that he alone could not resolve the situation. Even though he held good influence at the office, he knew that Liu Yang would not heed him. Intervening now would only humiliate himself. Having been in the committee for many years, his relationship with Nie Zhenbang had not yet reached a point where he would risk his future for him. Therefore, Zheng Gensheng also laughed, “We’re all colleagues, it doesn’t have to be like this, Zhenbang, I’m really sorry. Let’s leave first then.”
Once Zheng Gensheng and the others had left, Nie Zhenbang spoke again, “Liu Yang, this is the last chance. I’ll count to three, apologize now, or don’t bla for being ruthless.”
At this mont, Liu Yang wore an arrogant expression, looking disdainfully at Nie Zhenbang. Not only did he not an to apologize, on the contrary, he patted his face mockingly, arrogantly saying, “Nie Zhenbang, aren’t you just a college student? You were lucky to be assigned to a ministry. What are you so arrogant about. Let tell you, there’s so much in Jingcheng that you don’t know. What did I do to her? Is Dong Wan a princess or a lady of noble birth? I’m here, hit if you dare, can you?”
Before the words had fully fallen, a clear, resounding slap echoed through the hall. At this mont, the entire hall fell silent. All eyes turned in their direction.
At this ti, those who were dining in the Tan family hall were sowhat distinguished individuals within Jingcheng. Seeing soone starting a physical altercation in such a high-class venue piqued their curiosity.
By now, Liu Yang had already covered his cheeks. Nie Zhenbang had hit him very hard. Initially, Nie Zhenbang was an expert in Shape-Intent Fist. Coupled with his three years of military training, his strength and explosive power had increased dramatically. This slap from Nie Zhenbang was delivered without any reservation.
In an instant, Liu Yang’s face had swollen and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Liu Yang seed sowhat incredulous.
At this mont, his sidekick ca to his senses and anxiously said, “Young Master Yang, wait here. I’ll go get Young Master Kun and the others. We can’t just let this kid get away with it. If we do, we won’t survive in Jingcheng.”
However, at this ti, Nie Zhenbang was relentless and, staring at Liu Yang, continued, “Liu Yang, apologize now or your face will receive another slap.”
At this mont, Liu Yang was also sowhat stunned. Who exactly was this Nie Zhenbang, and why was he so domineering? Whether it was out of ignorance or high status, Liu Yang began to speculate.
But upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Liu Yang beca violently angry. He glared at Nie Zhenbang and roared, “Apologize? Over my dead body. If you’re so tough, you might as well kill today. Otherwise, you better be prepared to pick up your own corpse.”
Simultaneously, Liu Yang also vented his anger at Dong Wan, with equal fury, “Dong Wan, you whore, rember this. If I don’t die, I will rape and then kill you. How dare the two of you lay a hand on !”
Slap!
Another crisp slap echoed. This ti, the right cheek also swelled up. With both sides swollen, it could be said he had been ‘balanced’.
Looking at Liu Yang, who had been beaten to the point of squatting on the ground, Nie Zhenbang said solemnly, “Liu Yang, this is a lesson for you for not minding your words. From today onwards, get out of Jingcheng. Otherwise, don’t bla if I take matters into my own hands.”
Just then, a voice rang out, “Well, look who’s showing off. I want to see who dares to make such big claims.”
Looking up, Liu Kun and Li Hua, forr chief of staff and current deputy political commissar of Jingcheng City Military District, were walking over from the corridor.
As soon as they saw Nie Zhenbang, both Liu Kun and Li Hua’s eyes widened. Upon seeing the furious Dong Wan next to them, Liu Kun knew that his distant cousin must have stirred up big trouble.
At this point, Nie Zhenbang sat down indifferently and said, “It seems out of sight is out of mind. I’ve been absent from Jingcheng for just three years, and now every Tom, Dick, and Harry is picking on ..”
