Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Since You’re Here, Don’t Leave

Meng Jingui roared, "Someone come, seize this damn thing. Should he dare to resist, execute him on the spot!"

At Meng Jingui’s command, a dozen subordinates charged in. They drew their weapons and aimed at Chen Xuan, ready to kill him should he make any move.

But just then, a furious shout suddenly erupted.

"Everyone stop!"

The crowd turned around and were immediately stunned by the sight before them.

The person who had arrived was none other than Guan Hong!

"Director Guan... You... How did you get here?!" Meng Jingui exclaimed in surprise.

Meng Jingui had considerable authority, but he was merely in charge of the west side of the city, nowhere near on the same level as Guan Hong.

Guan Hong snorted coldly, "I had to come. If I hadn’t, how would I know the extent of your official might, Meng Jingui!"

Meng Jingui was startled and hastily explained, "You misunderstand, I have no such might to speak of. I’m merely enforcing the law impartially, attempting to apprehend this criminal!"

"Criminal?" Guan Hong glanced at Chen Xuan, "The criminal you speak of, wouldn’t happen to be him, would it?"

"That’s right, that’s right, it’s him! He doesn’t obey authority, and he even dared to lay hands on me. His actions are nothing short of rebellion!" Meng Jingui avoided the key point and desperately maligned Chen Xuan.

Guan Hong sneered, "Really? Well then, I’d like to ask you, the good citizen who helped us catch a thief, how did he become a fugitive here in your presence?"

"Catch a thief? Good citizen?" Meng Jingui was dumbfounded, not understanding at first.

Guan Hong nodded, "That’s right. We’ve verified that Meng Junchen once stole a cheque worth twenty million belonging to Chen Xuan’s wife and planned on fleeing to escape punishment."

"Chen Xuan was retrieving the stolen money for his wife when he had an altercation with Meng Junchen, During their dispute, Meng Junchen accidentally fell from the fifth floor of Orange Hotel."

"The whole event is clear and evident with undeniable evidence. Now tell me, Station-Master Meng, for what reason are you arresting Chen Xuan and taking Meng Junchen’s side?"

"Could it be simply because you all trust Meng?!"

Boom!

Guan Hong’s words exploded like thunder, causing Meng Jingui to break out in a cold sweat.

The other party clearly knew about the connection between him and Meng Junchen and was aware that he was settling personal scores under the guise of official duty. This was a warning to him!

Even though Meng Jingui had no idea why Guan Hong would side with this young man named Chen Xuan, he was well aware that if he continued to act rashly, he might not be able to extricate himself from the mess!

At this moment, Meng Junchen was seething with anger. Even with the presence of a figure as prominent as Guan Hong, he didn’t give him a second look.

"Just because you say I’m a thief, I am one? Let me tell you, I’ve already called my dad, and he will be here soon!"

"I don’t believe that, with the Meng family background, I can’t crush a mere son-in-law!"

In Meng Junchen’s view, his father, Meng Jinzhou, was at least an official. He believed that even Guan Hong wouldn’t go against his father’s wishes for the sake of a nobody like Chen Xuan.

Then, a furious roar came from outside the door, "Come, let’s see who has the guts to beat up the son of Meng Jinzhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinzhou charged into the room with an imposing aura.

"Dad, you’re finally here! It was him who beat me up like this. Avenge me, quick!"

Meng Junchen clung to this like a lifeline.

The next moment, when Meng Jinzhou saw Chen Xuan’s face clearly.

Plop!

Without any hesitation, Meng Jinzhou immediately knelt to the ground.

Meng Junchen was dumbstruck, and Meng Jingui was as if he had seen a ghost.

Nobody could have expected that Meng Jinzhou, who just a moment ago was all bluster about revenge, would suddenly make such a shocking move.

"Dad, have you gone mad? What are you doing?!"

Meng Jinzhou didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on Chen Xuan, filled with terror.

The last time at Yida Plaza, he had already witnessed the formidable strength of this young man before him.

Director Guan, the head of public security, and Yuan Tong, the head of sanitation, both had to treat him with the utmost respect.

He had even been forced to lick the floor all the way!

Meng Jinzhou was well aware that this young Mr. Chen was not someone he could afford to offend easily, but rather someone who could easily take his family’s lives!

With such a powerful figure, how could Meng Jinzhou dare to challenge him?

"I’m sorry, Boss Chen, please instruct me on how to deal with my son’s matter!"

Meng Junchen was stunned, unable to believe his own ears.

Meng Jingui’s eyes were wide with shock.

He had come to realize that this young man named Chen Xuan, likely held no simple identity!

Chen Xuan didn’t even glance at Meng Jinzhou, but went straight to Meng Junchen.

"I already said you shouldn’t have come here. Since you have, then don’t think of leaving!"

Director Guan added, "According to legal regulations, theft of more than 150,000 can be sentenced to life imprisonment. You’ve stolen 20 million, do you know how many years that is worth?"

Meng Junchen felt as if he were in a frozen cave.

If 150,000 was enough for a life sentence, then wouldn’t he never see the light of day again?!

"Take care of yourself!"

Chen Xuan patted Meng Junchen’s shoulder and strode away.

Leaving Meng Junchen to start crying out in anguish, "No! I don’t want to go to jail! I was wrong! Brother Xuan, I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance!"

Meng Junchen was filled with regret.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have sought trouble with Chen Xuan!

Unfortunately, it was too late now; he had to pay the price for his actions.

Afterward, Meng Junchen was taken away by Director Guan’s men, and even Meng Jingui was directly suspended from his position by Director Guan.

After leaving the public security bureau, Director Guan invited Chen Xuan into his car alone.

"Mr. Chen, Elder Zheng asked me to pass a message to you."

"What message?"

"Elder Zheng wants me to tell you that the skies over Huai City have changed. He advises you to be extra cautious in the future!"

Chen Xuan’s expression changed slightly.

Last time, Zheng Nianyao and others had already spoken to Chen Xuan about the struggle between the Northern and the Dong Families and mentioned that the Rakshasa Marquis was acting as the Northern Family’s pawn to stir trouble in Huai City.

Now, Zheng Nianyao had specifically asked Director Guan to remind him like this; could it be that Huai City had undergone even more changes?

"Can you be more specific?" Chen Xuan asked.

Director Guan looked around to make sure no one was close by and finally began to speak, "According to reliable information, the Dong Family has sent a highly influential person to take charge in Huai City, even Zheng Jianrong, the controller of Huai City, has stepped aside for him!"

"This person’s status is far above Elder Zheng and Ninth Elder Sister. If there’s anything you need in the future, I’m afraid even they won’t have the authority to assist you!"

Chen Xuan was taken aback; even Zheng Jianrong, the controller of Huai City, could be replaced just like that— the power of the Dong Family was truly formidable.

Director Guan added, "Oh, and that person’s title is Liangjiang Marquis!"
