Chapter 355 Invisible
Chapter 355 Invisible
For Chen Er, a mere first-rank official, to deal with the Eastern Depot is no easy task. Moreover, Chen Er has already unknowingly offended Zhao Beixing.
Therefore, it can be understood that Chen Er has offended two major forces. For either force, dealing with Chen Er would be as simple and easy as crushing an ant.
Chen Er walked over expressionlessly, grabbed Wang Dawei's hair, and pointed at Wang Xuelian, who was kneeling on the ground, with an air of dominance.
"You should know this woman, right? Did you go to her house yesterday and harass Wang Xiaolian? You'd better tell me the truth now, or you'll get a beating. It's not that easy."
Wang Dawei felt utterly helpless, as if his cries for help were being answered. What he feared most was exactly what was coming to pass. When he saw Wang Xuelian's pale face, he immediately felt that his death was imminent. Although he had worn a mask yesterday, Wang Xuelian should still be able to recognize his voice; there was no doubt about that.
But this wasn't the first time Wang Dawei had done something so heinous, so he could easily come up with a reason to refute it. So Wang Dawei immediately defended himself.
"Chen Er, I don't know what you're talking about. I admit I know this Wang Xuelian, and this woman is very immoral. She's been trying to get close to me lately and even tried to swindle money from me, but I haven't agreed to it. I don't know what you meant by what you just said, sir?"
Faced with Wang Dawei's self-defeating lie, Chen Er shook his head with a wry smile, and then kicked Wang Dawei in the chin.
As a trained martial artist, Chen Er's seemingly ordinary kick would probably hurt even more than a regular kick. It would be incredibly painful, let alone if it landed on a playboy or a trained martial artist.
Wang Dawei cried out in pain, his body tumbling through the air like a rotten sack before crashing to the ground. Already bruised and battered, Wang Dawei felt completely paralyzed, only able to breathe. Any slight movement felt like his entire skeleton was about to crumble.
"How dare you! The person in question is right here, and you still won't admit it. It seems you won't admit it until you're faced with the truth. I'll see just how tough you are to chew today."
After Chen Er finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xuelian again and said, "Don't worry, I'm backing you up today. Tell me everything that happened yesterday, and let's see who can escape from me."
Wang Xuelian was initially filled with grievances, but upon hearing Chen Er's words, she immediately felt as if Chen Er were a living bodhisattva who had saved her life. When Wang Xuelian thought of that unbearable night yesterday, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
Wang Xuelian hesitated for a moment, but Chen Er did not disturb her.
Chen Er could also sense that Wang Xuelian's pain came from the deepest part of her heart. Wang Xuelian finally calmed down and looked at Wang Dawei with resentful eyes, pointing her trembling finger at Wang Dawei's nose.
"Sir, it's this man. Yesterday, he led a group of people to break into my yard and forcibly took me as his own. I recognized his voice. Although he wore a mask yesterday, I still knew it was him. I won't wrong an innocent person."
As soon as Wang Xuelian finished speaking, Wang Dawei objected and stubbornly defended himself.
"I say, Lord Chen Er, you can't listen to a woman's words. Don't you even know your own limitations? I'm rolling in money, and plenty of girls like me. Why would I be with a married woman like you? You're just trying to become a phoenix on a branch, aren't you?"
Wang Dawei's words were incredibly hurtful. Wang Xuelian, who was already feeling wronged, wanted nothing more than to kill herself, as her innocence had been tainted by Wang Dawei.
How could a young woman not be angry when this man uttered such offensive words? Wang Dawei's words immediately made Zhao Beixing laugh.
Zhao Beixing originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he felt that Chen Er wasn't giving him any face at all, so now it was time for him to take action.
"Chen Er, I feel that what Wang Dawei said makes some sense. Although I am not familiar with Wang Dawei, he is very wealthy and has too many women around him. How could he possibly be interested in a woman who grows crops? So this matter is simply nonsense."
Chen Er angrily approached Zhao Beixing and said, "Are you out of your mind? You believe everything people say. I heard you have a precious daughter. If I were to ruin her, would you still be so indifferent?"
Chen Er's words immediately angered Zhao Beixing. After all, Zhao Beixing had been on the battlefield. It was as if the air around him had dropped several times. Chen Er sneered and also got into a fighting stance.
Just as the two were about to draw their swords, and Zhao Beixing had brought quite a few men, Ma Dazhi stood beside Chen Er, brandishing his long sword incessantly.
"Let's see who dares to come up and hurt my master. If you're not afraid of death, then come on. If I, Ma Dazhi, lose my life today, I'll take someone down with me."
After Ma Dazhi finished speaking, Liu Chengdong also walked over, and the long spear in his hand touched the ground directly, making a sound that made people's teeth chatter.
"Could it be that you are bullying us because you have more people? Although our lord is a first-rank official, he is upright and would not do evil with those high-ranking officials who appear to be righteous on the surface."
It was obvious that Liu Chengdong's words were meant for Zhao Beixing. No matter how well-mannered Zhao Beixing was, his beard started to twitch.
"Well done, you bunch of rabble! How come I never saw you were all cut from the same cloth? Very well, today you will pay a heavy price, especially you, Chen Er. What you just said insulted my daughter. Do you apologize now?"
Chen Er stood expressionless with his hands behind his back, seemingly unaffected, and calmly said, "Why should I apologize? What reason do you have for me to apologize to you, you old geezer? Do you think life is easy for a young woman like me?"
"Her own husband was beaten to death by Wang Dawei, and now she's being defiled by Doctor Wang."
You're still here speaking up for Wang Dawei? I'll have to ask you later, is your heart black?
