1039: Chapter 1032: Only Regret That Apologizing Was Too Late 1039: Chapter 1032: Only Regret That Apologizing Was Too Late Ye Chenfeng, upon noticing the gazes of Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, knew that these two must have come to help him out of trouble.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others were aware of Ye Chenfeng’s identity, yet, even without Ye Chenfeng’s formidable status in Huaxia Country, they wouldn’t have needed to worry about handling a situation like this with their capabilities.
Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Tang Guohua said, “Sir, maybe you should stop worrying about us.
Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll no longer be able to stay in Huaxia Country.”
Tang Xiaoyun, a girl with a kind heart, nodded urgently in agreement with her father as she saw the situation worsening, the despair in her eyes growing ever denser.
Fang Mingyao and the others, after the arrival of Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, were too preoccupied to pay attention to Ye Chenfeng and his group.
Fang Mingyao straightened his clothes and approached Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang eagerly, saying, “Brother Wang, Brother Zeng, what brings you two here for such a minor incident?
Let me handle this—it’s just a small matter, after all.”
The person in charge at the airport, Guo Yuangang, also wanted to make an impression in front of Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang.
He pointed at Ye Chenfeng and the others, saying, “These dangerous individuals have assaulted police officers at the airport, troubling the two leaders to come here personally; it’s truly our negligence!
But, the situation has been controlled by Director Fang.”
Fang Mingyao smiled broadly upon hearing Guo Yuangang giving him credit for the situation.
Fang Mingjia, Fang Anjie, and Xu Meili, standing before Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, had faces filled with utmost respect.
Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, the top two leaders of Jiangjing City, trembled with anger upon listening to Fang Mingyao and Guo Yuangang’s incessant chatter.
Fang Mingyao dared to call this a small matter?
Had they arrived even a moment later and allowed Fang Mingyao to actually do something to Ye Chenfeng, there no doubt would have been a major shakeup in Jiangjing City’s leadership.
“Damn it, you bunch of damn fools!” Even with Wang Nantian’s usually good composure, he couldn’t help but curse.
Fang Mingyao and others, seeing the very dark expressions on Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang’s faces, thought that Wang Nantian was calling Ye Chenfeng and his group the fools.
Fang Mingyao hastily echoed, “These criminals disrupting public order indeed deserve death.
I will apprehend these bandits immediately.”
Hearing Fang Mingyao outright referring to Ye Chenfeng and his group as criminals, Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang’s anger soared to its peak.
The two absolutely could not botch this matter, and Wang Nantian’s chest heaved with fury while Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and others were preparing to watch Tang Guohua and his group being taken away.
Then, a dramatic moment occurred—a sharp “slap!” Wang Nantian forcefully slapped Fang Mingyao’s chubby face, halting the actions of the police officers who were about to move in.
Their attention all shifted to this scene.
Fang Mingyao, suddenly slapped, showed a confused look in his eyes, and Guo Yuangang, Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and Fang Anjie by his side also thought Wang Nantian’s behavior was incomprehensible.
Could it be that Wang Nantian had suddenly lost his mind?
While Fang Mingyao was about to demand an explanation, Zeng Fengyang, the second-in-command, sternly questioned, “Fang Mingyao, who allowed you to intercept the grandson of Chief Ye at the airport?
Tell me, what law has Chief Ye’s grandson broken?”
Chief Ye’s grandson?
With Zeng Fengyang’s words, all those present fell into stunned silence once again.
Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang proceeded straight to Ye Chenfeng’s side.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t put on any airs and said, “Uncles, thanks for coming here this time.”
Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to be so polite, which made them feel quite fond of him.
They secretly thought that scions raised by top-tier families were indeed different, and hastily said, “It’s no trouble at all, not in the least.
It’s our duty.
It’s our failure to properly manage Jiangjing City that has allowed the likes of Fang Mingyao to fester.”
Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun did not expect the top two leaders of Jiangjing City to be so courteous to Ye Chenfeng; it seemed as if they were there to assist him.
Fang Mingyao, who had been stunned, came back to his senses and guessed the identities of Ye Chenfeng and his group were no simple matter.
Nevertheless, he still wasn’t giving up, pointing at Ye Chenfeng he asked, “Whose grandson is he, this Chief Ye?”
A look of pity crossed Wang Nantian’s face as he said, “Chief Ye Zhenhong from Capital City.”
Ye Zhenhong?
Minister Ye?
Fang Mingyao and others couldn’t help but conjure up the image of an old man frequently featured in the news broadcasts.
That old man was none other than a figure standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid!
The Yes of Capital City were one of the most powerful families in Huaxia Country.
Once they learned Ye Chenfeng’s identity, Fang Mingyao’s mind and those of his ilk were utterly blown.
So Ye Chenfeng was actually a bona fide Crown Prince from Capital City?
Had they really dared to encircle and plan to arrest the Crown Prince of Capital City?
That was like a fly barging into the restroom, seeking its own demise!
Guo Yuangang, the person in charge of the airport, after ascertaining Ye Chenfeng’s status, wished he could slap himself dozens of times right now.
Why on earth did he have to meddle in this mess?
Offending Ye Chenfeng the Crown Prince now would likely mean a tragic end for him.
Fang Mingyao, his obese face dripping with sweat, turned deathly pale.
He had climbed to his current position with great difficulty, and over the years, he had done his fair share of underhanded deeds.
If the authorities were to investigate, he would undoubtedly end up spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and Fang Anjie, these three stood frozen in place, never having imagined Ye Chenfeng possessing such formidable status.
Just moments ago, they had relentlessly mocked Ye Chenfeng while continuously threatening him.
Now, recollecting those moments, they were trembling through and through.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and Fang Anjie and sneered, “I remember offering you a chance to apologize by bowing your heads not too long ago.
What a pity that you didn’t cherish it!
It seems I probably won’t be going to the police station after all, while you’ll be spending the rest of your lives in prison.”
Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and Fang Anjie, due to their connections with Fang Mingyao, had also indulged in their share of shady activities over the years.
Should the police decide to conduct a thorough investigation, they would not be able to escape prison.
“Thump!” with a sound.
Guo Yuangang, overwhelmed by the pressure, was the first to kneel down before Ye Chenfeng and the others, his voice quivering, “This matter has nothing to do with me.
I was deceived by that bastard Fang Mingjia.
Please forgive me this once.”
Fang Mingyao also immediately knelt before Ye Chenfeng, begging, “This whole incident was orchestrated by my brother.
I’m willing to resign from my position as the director.
Please, just spare me this time.” Fang Mingyao knew that his position as director was irretrievable.
His only wish now was to avoid prison.
As for Fang Mingjia, Xu Meili, and Fang Anjie, upon hearing Guo Yuangang and Fang Mingyao’s pleas, felt as though all strength had drained from their bodies.
With Fang Mingjia and Fang Anjie kneeling down, Xu Meili’s mind flashed back to the words she had said to Tang Guohua just a short while ago: “Tang Guohua, I, Xu Meili, once betrayed you.
However, I will never apologize to you in this lifetime.
A spineless man like you doesn’t deserve to have me, Xu Meili.
You’re definitely going to end up in prison this time.”
As the bitterly ironic words echoed in her mind, Xu Meili bent her knees toward Ye Chenfeng and Tang Guohua, eventually falling to the ground.
Fang Mingjia knew that the only option now was for Tang Guohua to forgive them, or else they were destined for prison.
He said, “Brother Tang, I did things I shouldn’t have, and for that, I beg your forgiveness.
Your wife, I’ll return her to you, everything that belongs to you, I’ll give it all back.”
Xu Meili shamelessly added, “Guohua, I am willing to come back to you, and from now on, I will be faithful to only you.” Xu Meili certainly had big plans; seeing Tang Guohua standing with Ye Chenfeng, she thought if she could get back with Tang Guohua, she would be able to call the shots not just in Jiangjing City but possibly in other cities as well.
Tang Guohua, looking at Fang Mingjia and Xu Meili kneeling before him, felt the knots that had troubled him for so many years slowly starting to unravel.
He, too, had not expected Ye Chenfeng to be not only skilled but also to hold such a powerful status.
Perceiving Ye Chenfeng’s glance, he said with a wry smile, “Sir, please take charge of today’s matters.
They have nothing to do with me.”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and turned to Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, “Uncles, help me thoroughly investigate them.
I want everything done by the book.”
After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Fang Mingjia and Xu Meili nearly fainted.
They cursed themselves for not apologizing to Ye Chenfeng sooner.
And now, they only regretted that their apologies had come too late.
Their second halves of life would almost certainly be spent in prison.
