Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Do I Need to Look at Your Face?
Zhang Jiashuai and Ding Shuo both thought that Zhang Baifa would rush up and berate Chen Fan, but they didn’t expect his attitude to be so respectful; he even used honorifics when addressing Chen Fan. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Why is uncle being so polite to this guy?" Ding Shuo muttered to himself.
Zhang Jiashuai said, "I have no idea, shouldn’t my dad be so enraged that he avenges his son?"
But they saw Zhang Baifa quickly walk up to Chen Fan and even bowed to him with clasped hands.
If it were someone else, Zhang Baifa indeed might have gone up and cursed without saying a word, but the person across from him was Chen Fan, whom he simply did not dare to offend.
Moreover, the moment he saw Chen Fan, he had already realized that the matter was probably not as Jiashuai had described; after all, he was very clear about what his son was like.
"Mr. Chen, may I know what has happened here? Did my good-for-nothing son provoke you?" Zhang Baifa asked respectfully.
Full of confusion, Zhang Jiashuai stood up from the ground, walked up to Zhang Baifa, and said, "Dad, why are you being so polite to this guy, didn’t you see what he did to me?"
Zhang Baifa glared at him and snapped, "Shut your mouth right now. Mr. Chen is the guest I was going to host today. You’ve really outdone yourself by causing trouble with him!"
Zhang Jiashuai was taken aback, and somewhat incredulously sized up Chen Fan, never having imagined that Zhang Baifa’s important guest would turn out to be this guy.
But he was still unconvinced and said, "Even if he is your guest, he shouldn’t have beaten me up like this."
Chen Fan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Oh? Are you suggesting that you can make a move on my girlfriend, and I can’t beat you up?"
Zhang Baifa’s expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on here? What the hell has this bastard done!"
Chen Fan explained the whole matter.
After listening, Zhang Baifa’s face was so dark that it looked like water could drip from it. He turned to look at Zhang Jiashuai and kicked him, followed by a slap.
Holding his face with a look of grievance, Zhang Jiashuai said, "Dad, why are you hitting me!"
Zhang Baifa was furious with disappointment, "Am I hitting you? It’s already very good of me not to kill you! You act so lawlessly in town, and you even think about bullying a girl at will. Do you really think you’re the prince of this town?"
Zhang Jiashuai muttered under his breath, "You are the mayor, and I am your son; doesn’t that make me practically a prince? You’ve struggled so hard to become the mayor, if not for me to enjoy power and influence. If I don’t show off, you’re not pleased either."
Fury gnawed at Zhang Baifa as he lifted his hand to hit Zhang Jiashuai again.
Zhang Jiashuai quickly ran back, dodging the slap.
Zhang Baifa snorted coldly, turned back to Chen Fan, and said with full remorse, "Mr. Chen, I’m truly sorry. I really didn’t expect this beast to have caused you so much trouble. This is my negligence. May I know how you wish to resolve this matter? I will fully cooperate."
Zhang Jiashuai approached again and said, "All right, I admit that I was wrong in this matter. Since this guy is a guest of yours, dad, I won’t argue about it anymore. Let him apologize to me, and we’ll call it even."
An Lan, who was standing by, could hardly bear to listen to Zhang Jiashuai’s words and spoke up, "Are you even reasonable? It’s clearly you who did wrong, yet you still expect others to apologize to you. Where do you get the nerve to say such a thing?"
Zhang Jiashuai said defiantly, "But he hit me, isn’t it only right that he apologizes to me for hitting me?"
"You got beaten because you deserved it!" An Lan said, her chest heaving with fury.
Zhang Baifa also shouted at Zhang Jiashuai, "Shut up!"
Then, looking towards Chen Fan, he said, "Mr. Chen, how should we deal with this brat? It’s your call."
Chen Fan looked at Zhang Jiashuai and said, "I didn’t expect his character to be so vile that he won’t even apologize. Merely beating him up won’t make him learn his lesson."
"He has provoked me this time, and no tragedy befell, but what if it were someone else next time?"
"This kind of person is nothing but a cancer to the town. Even for the sake of the other townspeople, I must give him a memorable lesson."
Zhang Jiashuai sneered, thinking contemptuously, "Pfft, my dad is just humoring you out of courtesy, and you’re taking yourself too seriously? You think you can teach me a lesson I’ll never forget? I’d love to see you try!"
Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "Since Mayor Zhang is letting me decide, then I’ll break both his legs as punishment, how about that?"
Zhang Jiashuai glared, "You’re fucking crazy! You really want to break my legs? Do you actually think you’ve got the right to judge me just because my dad is polite to you?"
Zhang Baifa had not expected Chen Fan to be so extreme right off the bat and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, although my son has indeed become quite bothersome, breaking his legs is a bit too much. How about I punish him myself when we get home and also compensate the Jiang Family and you with some money? What do you say?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "Today, I’ve decided on breaking his legs."
Having said that, he suddenly kicked both of Zhang Jiashuai’s knees.
Zhang Jiashuai screamed miserably, writhing on the ground in agony.
An excruciating pain surged through his legs. As soon as Chen Fan had landed the kicks, he felt his kneecaps shatter completely.
Zhang Baifa didn’t expect Chen Fan to strike so quickly. He hurriedly knelt to check on his son’s condition, and after confirming that his son’s legs were indeed ruined, his expression turned immensely pained. Then, with reddened eyes, he glared at Chen Fan and gritted his teeth, "Even if my son has done wrong, it should be up to me to punish him. What gives you the right to break his legs!"
Chen Fan snorted coldly, "So you want to shield him, is that it?"
Zhang Baifa, with furious eyes, retorted, "You are someone even Sun Xiong shows respect to, which is why I’ve been nothing but courteous. But now that you’ve broken my son’s legs, I see no need to be polite any longer!"
"I am calling the security team right now. You broke my son’s legs, and there needs to be an explanation for this!"
Chen Fan laughed and asked, "Then do you know why Sun Xiong shows me such respect?"
Zhang Baifa snorted, "I don’t care why. No matter how powerful your background might be, here in Qingyang Town, you still have to play by my rules!"
Chen Fan shook his head helplessly as Spiritual Energy gathered in his palm. At that moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared.
Then, a thunderbolt crashed down, landing in Chen Fan’s hand.
Electric arcs jumped around him, casting him in the image of a Thunder War God from ancient times.
Chen Fan played with the thunderbolt in one hand and then pointed it straight at Zhang Baifa’s forehead, asking faintly, "Do I need to look at your face?"
