Chapter 31: Call the Police!
7 min read1,640 words
Tang Chong rarely bought novels to read; what he read the most were the criminal case files of prisoners in jail. Life is more absurd than novels. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe how crazy and cruel people can be to their fellow human beings.
It was precisely for this reason that Tang Chong was very clear about how to deal with people who conflict with you. The leader once told him: If you can't make someone like you, try to make them ignore you. If you can't do either, then find a way to eliminate the threat.
The power of hatred is terrifying. Whether you hate someone or someone hates you, it can make you do things beyond your capabilities.
Tang Chong knew that as long as he acted today, the hatred between him and Liu Weidong would be inevitable.
But, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Lin Huixuan wasn't his sister, nor was she his friend. Even the words they had exchanged so far didn't add up to ten, but even so, he still had to act.
"Because," Tang Chong thought for a moment, then stuck a golden label on his head. "I represent justice."
After thinking this, Tang Chong immediately felt his image become more glorious and majestic. These punches were really beautifully executed, and he wished Liu Weidong could get up and curse him a few more times as a "dirty bitch" so he could have an excuse to beat him up again for another fifty punches.
"Since I'm going to act, I might as well do it thoroughly."
That's what Tang Chong thought.
"Knock, knock."
Someone was knocking on the door.
Bai Su hesitated about whether to go and open it, but Tang Chong pulled her back.
The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Liu Mingwei, holding a wine glass and with blurred eyes, walked in, smiling and said, "I'm really sorry, ladies. A few friends came over, and they made me drink a bit more. Who's lying on the ground?"
No one responded.
Bai Su's face was cold, Lin Huixuan's eyes were full of killing intent, and Zhang Heben, the girl, was a genius. From the time Liu Mingwei knocked on the door to the time he walked in and said a few words, she had already cried her eyes red.
Tang Chong, with a mocking look, stared at Liu Mingwei, expressing his extreme anger and agitation.
"What happened?" Liu Mingwei finally realized that the atmosphere in the room was off. "Where's Weidong? Who's lying on the ground?"
Because Liu Mingwei had been drinking with several officials and had had a few more toasts, his head was still a bit dizzy.
However, the two assistants behind him remained sober.
Yan Li, the director of the general office, rushed out, crouched down, and screamed, "Young Master Liu, is it Young Master Liu? Oh my God, Young Master Liu has been beaten."
Liu Mingwei's drunkenness was instantly sobered up by more than half. He ran over, hugged Liu Weidong's body, and saw that his face was swollen like a pig's head. If it weren't for the clothes and body shape, he wouldn't have been sure if the big lump of flesh he was holding was his son.
While feeling for Liu Weidong's breath, he shouted, "Bai Su, what happened? What did you do? What did you do to Weidong?"
"Chairman Liu, you really have a fine son," Bai Su kicked the chair and stood up, rushing to Liu Mingwei and confronting him. "When I went down to pick him up, I thought he was a gentleman and had a good impression of him. I didn't expect him to be a beast in human form. As soon as you left the room, he proposed to keep Huixuan as a mistress. When Huixuan refused, he started to touch Huixuan and Heben. Chairman Liu, I suspect that you and your son planned this. You left the room to make a toast, just to give your son a chance. Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"
Bai Su was a smart woman. Since Tang Chong had already beaten the person, and had hinted at what she should do, if she couldn't handle it, she would have wasted her years in the entertainment industry.
"You, you're slandering," Liu Mingwei shouted angrily. "Weidong isn't that kind of person; he wouldn't do such a thing."
Every parent deeply loves their children and firmly believes in their character. This is human nature.
"Besides, with Weidong beaten up like this, he can't confront you. You can say whatever you want."
"If he hadn't tried to molest Huixuan in the room, would we, a few weak women, have fought with Chairman Liu's son? You're overestimating us. Chairman Liu is our business partner, and we rely on you for our livelihood. Would we do such a thing?"
"I don't care what you say." Liu Mingwei handed Liu Weidong to his subordinates, got up from the ground, and said fiercely, "My son, Liu Mingwei, isn't someone anyone can bully, let alone a few singers. I will definitely get justice for him from you."
"Chairman Liu, do you want to call the police?" the director of the general office, Yan Li, asked.
"Since Chairman Liu wants justice, let's call the police," Bai Su said confidently, standing up to him. "I'm only waiting for Chairman Liu to come and handle it because we have a good working relationship. I feel that Huixuan has been wronged, just as you feel your son has been wronged. Let the police decide who is right and who is wrong."
Liu Mingwei did indeed want to call the police. But after Bai Su said this, he felt that calling the police wasn't the best choice.
When the conflict happened in the private room, he and his two subordinates weren't there, so they didn't know what exactly happened.
Bai Su and the Butterfly Duo were a united front, and they would definitely stick to the story that Liu Weidong tried to molest them.
If there were surveillance cameras in the room, it would be great, as he could see the whole story. Of course, he knew that was impossible. This international hotel wouldn't dare install cameras in the rooms to spy on guests' privacy. If the news got out, they would go bankrupt.
Moreover, after calming down, even Liu Mingwei himself felt that his son was a scoundrel.
As Bai Su said, if Liu Weidong hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have dared to hurt his son, even if they had ten lives. Besides, they were still working together, and he was their benefactor. What reason would they have to beat up his son?
"He's a big scoundrel," Zhang Heben sobbed, wiping her eyes. "I thought he was like a brother, but I didn't expect him to be so disgusting. I hate him so much."
Liu Mingwei had always liked Zhang Heben, thinking she was an innocent little girl.
Seeing her say this, he believed Bai Su's words and his suspicions even more.
"What's wrong, Chairman Liu?" Bai Su urged impatiently, her temper flaring. "Didn't you say you were going to call the police? Why haven't you done it yet? Don't think you can't bring yourself to call the police on a few weak women. If Chairman Liu doesn't want to make the call, I'll do it for you."
As she spoke, Bai Su took out her phone from her pocket.
"Manager Bai, we all need to calm down," Liu Mingwei said to stop her.
Bai Su's heart stirred. From Liu Mingwei's change in address, she knew his attitude had shifted.
She couldn't help but glance at Tang Chong, thinking, "This bastard is right again."
"Calm down?" Bai Su sneered. "Chairman Liu, I'm already very calm. When your son said he wanted to keep Huixuan as a mistress, we were uncomfortable, but we didn't argue with him out of respect for you. We even stayed here waiting for you to come back. When he started touching Huixuan and Heben, we were about to leave, but he grabbed Huixuan's arm and wouldn't let her go, and even touched her body. What should we have done?"
"At least you shouldn't have beaten him up like this," Liu Mingwei glanced at his unconscious son, Liu Weidong, and frowned. "But since it happened, there's no need to pursue it further. Our cooperation has been pleasant. If we call the police, my reputation will be damaged, and the Butterfly Duo's image will also be harmed. You know, the public always suspects the worst of celebrities. No matter how you explain it, you can't make everyone believe what happened tonight."
"Because of Chairman Liu's face, I didn't call the police," Bai Su's voice softened. "You know Huixuan's character; she would rather die than submit. She wanted to call the police several times, but I stopped her. I didn't expect that when you came, you would say you wanted to get justice for your son. Who will get justice for us?"
Liu Mingwei's anger flared again.
Even if my son touched you, you beat him up like this. Are you asking for more justice?
Isn't that too much?
However, he knew that exposing this incident would have a chain reaction that would be detrimental to him.
Suppressing his anger, he said, "Manager Bai, what do you suggest?"
"I have no suggestions," Bai Su said. "Your son bullied Huixuan and Heben. You should ask them what they think."
Liu Mingwei could only patiently look at them and said, "Miss Huixuan, what do you think?"
"Call the police," Lin Huixuan said coldly.
(PS: If you don't vote, I'll call the police.
