Chapter 289: Chapter 263: Right and Wrong, All Trivial Matters

Zhang Hualong and Han Ziguang came over, with Zhang Hualong sizing up the BMW parked aside and then the man standing next to Wu Li, Liu Zheng.

Before coming, he had already learned about Wu Li, a man from an ordinary family who had some fame and even started his own business in China, currently worth a few billion yuan.

Such achievements were actually quite good for the average person, but for Zhang Hualong, the other party was merely scratching at the threshold of high society.

Moreover, the key point was that the other party was a celebrity who mainly relied on fame for a living; such people were extremely easy to deal with.

Zhang Hualong pointed at Han Ziguang, who stood beside him, and said to Wu Li, "Deliberately injuring someone, and it’s serious injury at that. According to the laws of the United States, you have to serve at least three years. How do you want to resolve this?"

Wu Li looked at Han Ziguang, who was holding his arm, with a barely-there smile, "Serious injury?"

"Son of a bitch, you broke my hand, and I’ve got a concussion too, a serious injury! I’ll have you locked up for seven years!" Han Ziguang said ferociously.

Zhang Hualong patted his shoulder and then turned to look at Wu Li, "Whether it’s a serious injury will be clear once the medical report comes out. It looks like you’re not too keen on solving this. In that case, I’ll let the police handle it."

Saying this, he took out his phone, ready to make a call.

Liu Zheng, standing next to Wu Li, spoke up, "Wait a second."

Zhang Hualong stopped his actions and looked towards Liu Zheng, waiting to hear what he would say.

If Wu Li dared to let Han Ziguang confidently call someone over, he must have something to rely on, so Zhang Hualong didn’t call the police directly. He wanted to hear what Wu Li’s side had up their sleeve first, so he could ’prescribe the right remedy.’

Liu Zheng pointed at Han Ziguang, "Gathering for drug use, illegal possession of a large quantity of drugs, drunk driving, seriously endangering the safety of the public. According to U.S. law, you’ve got at least three years to serve as well. How would you like to resolve it?"

Zhang Hualong frowned and turned to look at Han Ziguang.

Han Ziguang understood his meaning and shook his head, "He’s talking nonsense, I don’t have a large stash of drugs."

Liu Zheng on the other side started laughing, "Believe me, before the police arrive, there definitely will be a large quantity of drugs here. Who knows, maybe even a lot of firearms too. You might be facing seven years."

Han Ziguang exploded in anger; he had just claimed he’d make Wu Li serve seven years, and now the opposition immediately threw seven years back in his face.

Zhang Hualong frowned; he didn’t quite believe that Wu Li could wield such power in the United States, but seeing the other side’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was bluffing.

"Who is this?" He asked, looking at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng stepped forward, took out a business card, and handed it to Zhang Hualong.

Zhang Hualong took the business card and saw it read: Zhiyuan Innovation Investment Group Co., Ltd., General Manager, Liu Zheng.

His expression changed and his voice dropped considerably, "Hongmen Zhiyuan Hall?"

Liu Zheng nodded, "Wu Li is a friend of our Sixth Master. I came tonight to help resolve the issue."

Zhang Hualong looked at Wu Li in disbelief, then immediately plastered a smile on his face, "I had no idea, Wu Li, that you are a friend of Chairman Zheng. It’s all been a misunderstanding today."

"How about we still call the police to deal with it? Look how badly the young master Han has been hurt," Liu Zheng said with apparent concern.

Zhang Hualong quickly shook his head, "No need, no need. It’s entirely our xiaoguang’s fault."

Han Ziguang: "..."

He didn’t expect the situation to turn around so quickly; just a moment ago, Zhang Hualong had appeared confident of victory and now had completely changed his tune. However, he was not stupid and knew that Zhang Hualong’s sudden low stance must be because the person Wu Li had called over was someone even his own father wouldn’t want to offend.

Han Ziguang had heard Zhang Hualong mention that Wu Li was Chairman Zheng’s friend. Chairman? He remembered his father’s special trip to New York, ostensibly to visit a chairman of the commerce association and hoping the latter would allow his father to join the association—an association comprised of overseas Chinese and many investors from overseas, its members all high-level business magnates.

If the Chairman Zheng that Zhang Hualong referred to was the same person his father intended to visit, then tonight they indeed had hit a snag. Han Ziguang lowered his head, not daring to let Wu Li see his expression. He was wealthy himself and understood all too well the power of money.

Seeing Han Ziguang bow his head, Zhang Hualong adopted a flattering smile while Liu Zheng remained nonchalant, turning instead to look at Wu Li.

Wu Li himself had not expected the situation to take such a turn. He had thought it would be mutual threats followed by a compromise to put an end to the matter.

Seeing Wu Li hesitate, Liu Zheng smiled, "Master Wu, don’t be polite, handle it however you wish."

Han Ziguang shuddered and involuntarily looked up at Wu Li, while Zhang Hualong put on a full smile, "Mr. Wu, there has really been a misunderstanding today. I’ll bring xiaoguang over to apologize another day. Is that acceptable to you?"

The people around them looked at each other, having expected a display of power from both sides. But as soon as Liu Zheng revealed his identity, Han Ziguang’s side completely folded.

Those with pierced ears and the others knew about the clout of Han Ziguang’s father, so for Han Ziguang to bow so low like this, what kind of background did Liu Zheng have? And how did Wu Li come to know such a person? Moreover, it seemed that the latter regarded Wu Li as their leader.

Wu Li glanced at Tina next to him and then at Han Ziguang, "If I wasn’t here tonight, what were you planning to do? Gang up on her?"

Tina’s body trembled, Han Ziguang instinctively looked up at Wu Li, trying to say something.

Wu Li: "If this had escalated, you would’ve just paid some money to settle it, right?"

Han Ziguang: "I..."

"Don’t speak. I don’t want to hear what you have to say." Wu Li cut him off.

Han Ziguang: "..."

"Mr. Wu." Zhang Hualong smiled, attempting to ease the tension.

"Shut up, you too!" Wu’s gaze was icy cold.

Zhang Hualong became silent as if struck by frost.

Wu scanned the room, and everyone else instinctively avoided his gaze.

"Such acts, you group of pampered scions must have done plenty, right? After all, with powerful parents, you can smooth over anything. As for those girls you harm, whether they live or die is none of your concern, right?"

Wu pointed at Tina beside him, "It’s her fault for not having parents as influential as yours, that’s just fate, the law of the jungle, the righteous way of things, right?"

Wu asked ’right’ three times, yet his tone grew calmer with each repetition.

The men with earrings looked at each other, unclear about what Wu intended, but Zhang Hualong sensed danger and threw a sharp look at Han Ziguang, "Ziguang, apologize to Mr. Wu!"

Han Ziguang’s throat moved, and he spoke with difficulty, "Wu... no, Mr. Wu, I was wrong, I’m sorry, what happened tonight, I... I was truly wrong, I’m sorry!"

He bowed repeatedly to Wu while speaking.

"Heh." Wu laughed lightly, "Do you really think you’re wrong?"

"Of course, I truly am!" Han Ziguang was nearly in tears.

Wu continued, "You only think you’re wrong because you’ve offended me, realizing now that I’m stronger than you. In your world, that’s indeed a mistake."

Han Ziguang fell silent, and the others shared the same thought: the strong are right, the weak are wrong, isn’t that the natural order of things?

Wu then turned to Tina, "Actually, I was a bit angry earlier, blaming her in my heart, thinking she was wrong to come here, considering her too foolish."

Tina bit her lip, her head bowed, not daring to meet Wu’s eyes.

Wu shook his head, "She may indeed be somewhat foolish or naive, but I was wrong to blame her, because the fault lies with you!"

"Just like blaming a girl for dressing too provocatively and going to a club, only to be drugged and taken advantage of. We don’t blame the criminal; weblame the girl for dressing seductively and going to a bar?"

"No." Wu shook his head, "There’s no logic in that, she’s the victim, why should we think she’s at fault?"

Tina abruptly looked up, her eyes reddening.

Liu Zheng was surprised, not expecting Wu to suddenly bring this up, but he knew Wu’s standing in Zheng Yingrong’s heart. Therefore, no matter what Wu planned to do tonight, his task was to back him up fully.

Wu faced everyone, "Of course, I’m not here to preach morality, nor do I aspire to be a moral saint. I’m just reminded of a saying,"

"World peace is too distant, but local peace is within reach, and I ought to maintain it."

After saying this, Wu turned to Liu Zheng, "Mr. Liu."

Liu Zheng nodded, "Your command?"

Wu inquired, "Would bankrupting young master Han be a trouble?"

Liu Zheng smiled, "A trivial matter."

Wu expressed gratitude, "Then please."

Liu Zheng replied, "You’re too polite, Master Wu."

Zhang Hualong’s expression changed drastically, and in shock, he turned to Liu Zheng, "Mr. Liu, isn’t this an overreaction for such a trivial conflict?"

Liu Zheng shook his head, "Whether it’s trivial or not isn’t for me to say. Master Wu decides."

Zhang Hualong turned to Wu, pleading, "Mr. Wu, any compensation you want is fine, why resort to such measures? Having one more friend is another path forward."

Wu couldn’t be bothered with him, and began to leave, pulling Tina along.

"Master Wu, how should the others be dealt with?" Liu Zheng suddenly asked.

Wu paused, somewhat surprised, and looked at Liu Zheng, "They’re also trivial matters?"

Liu Zheng responded with a smile, "All trivial matters."

Wu nodded, "Then deal with them together."

The men with earrings were struck dumb, utterly unprepared to be caught in the crossfire.

"Mr. Wu, Master Wu, it’s not our fault!" shouted the man with earrings.

Seeing Zhang Hualong’s face of utter despair, he knew this was no joke. Without a second thought, he started to explain.

Wu turned back, "To you, a girl’s honor and life are trivial because you’re stronger than her. Therefore, your lives are trivial to me, because I am stronger than you. Isn’t this the value system you subscribe to? How come you fail to understand when it’s your turn?"

With that, he left, taking Tina with him.
