Chapter 539: Chapter 538 Can You Still Kneel Down?

Wang Shao was completely dumbfounded. When Secretary Lin came down to talk just now, he thought Secretary Lin was just bragging. After all, he didn’t recognize Secretary Lin.

Although Director Ding was extremely respectful in front of Secretary Lin, at that time, he also felt that something was wrong. However, thinking about his uncle’s current position and connections, he was fearless in his heart.

Moreover, later on, Su Yang even demanded that he kneel, which completely infuriated him, and he tore off the mask of civility. Although Su Yang had gone upstairs with Secretary Lin, he didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, given his uncle’s status, such matters were easily resolved.

When his father came down in a hurry to ask him about it just now, he hadn’t thought of the issue with Su Yang because he didn’t think provoking a middle school student could be that much of a problem.

But now, he had just realized that he had made a huge, terrible mistake.

This middle school student, it seems, isn’t just an ordinary middle school student!

"Master Su, Master Su..." Wang Shao muttered a few times, "Dad, have... have I heard this name before?"

"Nonsense, Master Su’s reputation has been booming in Pingnan Province recently. How many times have I mentioned him at home? You’ve never listened seriously!" the middle-aged man said angrily. "You just know how to cause trouble every day. Now you’ve made such a big mess. Are you satisfied only after you get us all killed?"

"No, he... he... he’s really that Master Su..." Wang Shao said with a tremble, "But he’s just a middle school student..."

The middle-aged man said angrily, "So what if he’s a middle school student? At his age, he’s capable of such great things. What right do you have to talk to him? What right do you have to compare yourself to him?"

Wang Shao was utterly dumbfounded and trembled, "Then... then what should we do now?"

"What should we do? You tell me what to do!" the middle-aged man roared. "Also, do you know who that Secretary Lin at his side was?"

"Who was he?" Wang Shao quickly asked.

The middle-aged man said angrily, "That’s the secretary of Number Three; you know, the secretary of Number Three from the province!"

At that sentence, everyone in the room gasped almost simultaneously, realizing that it was Number Three’s secretary – no wonder he carried such authority!

Wang Shao collapsed to the floor with a thump. His uncle was only the secretary of Number Five, whereas that was the secretary of Number Three. Wasn’t the gap between them obvious?

"Your uncle told me that the province is forming an investigation team to look into these matters in Nanluo City!" The middle-aged man pointed at Wang Shao and said with disappointment: "You... are you intent on dragging our entire family down with you?"

Wang Shao was so terrified that he was shaking all over, nearly collapsing on the ground. If he had known about Su Yang’s identity, he wouldn’t have dared to oppose Su Yang even if it killed him.

The other people in the room were also stunned, now realizing that the influence of Wang Shao’s family was nothing in front of Su Yang.

Thinking back to how they had flattered Wang Shao and insulted Su Yang earlier, everyone was also shivering with fear. Had they known, they wouldn’t have gotten involved in this affair for anything.

The middle-aged man sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Now, let’s just hope that Commander Hu can intervene and resolve this. Later, you’ll have to go and sincerely apologize to Master Su. If this matter can be downplayed, that would be for the best."

Wang Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, there was still Commander Hu, wasn’t there?

However, before Wang Shao could even speak, the middle-aged man’s phone suddenly rang.

"It’s your uncle!" the middle-aged man said with great joy, hurriedly answering the call, "Big brother, how’s it going over there? I just inquired, and it seems he has offended Master Su and also had some misunderstanding with Secretary Lin. When should we go up and apologize?"

"An apology?" A deep voice came through the phone, "I’m afraid your apologies are useless this time!"

"What?" The middle-aged man was astonished, "Why? Commander Hu... is Commander Hu unwilling to help?"

"Commander Hu initially did offer his help and even made a call. But as soon as he heard that it involved Su Yang, he immediately backed off and even scolded me!" The person on the other end paused, then said in a grave tone, "I heard that Commander Hu owes his life to Master Su. Commander Hu himself is very grateful to Master Su!"

The middle-aged man collapsed, his spirit crushed. Commander Hu was their last hope. But he could never have imagined that Commander Hu’s relationship with Su Yang was so close; didn’t that cut off their very last avenue of escape?

The middle-aged man’s voice on the phone was very loud, and everyone in the room heard its contents, leaving them all dumbfounded.

Just who exactly is this Su Yang, with such reach and influence?

"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over..." The middle-aged man slumped to the ground, completely devoid of hope.

Wang Shao looked even worse, tears almost spilling, as he listlessly sat on the ground, his previous arrogance gone.

At that moment, Fatty suddenly laughed and said, "Wang Shao, when Xiao Yang left just now, he mentioned he would be upstairs waiting for your apology. Haven’t you forgotten?"

At these words, everyone’s eyes turned to look.

Wang Shao was stunned. If Fatty had said this before, he would have immediately lashed out in anger. But now, he felt as though he was grasping at hope.

"I... I’ll go up and apologize right now..." Wang Shao’s voice trembled, not out of fear, but with excitement. If bowing his head in apology could resolve this issue, he didn’t care about losing face.

"Oh, there’s no rush to apologize. Let’s first settle our own matter," Fatty said with a smile.

"Our own matter?" Wang Shao said in shock.

"You forgot, you took fifty thousand from me!" Fatty reminded him.

"Oh, right, right, right, fifty thousand!" Wang Shao quickly took out the money and handed it to Fatty with an awkward smile, "I’m so sorry, brother. I’m giving your money back. I don’t want it anymore, and I’ll never bring up this matter again..."

Fatty did not take the money, speaking leisurely, "Wang Shao, do you know how compensation for extortion is calculated?"

"What... what extortion, what compensation?" Wang Shao was utterly confused.

"The bride price, you gave it to her stepmother. Now, you’re coming to her for the money, would you say that counts as extortion?" Fatty said, "Legally speaking, whoever you gave the bride price to is who you should be asking for the money back from, why would you ask Sister Qi Qi for it?"

Wang Shao was stunned, suddenly realizing that Fatty’s readiness to pay was just waiting for this moment.

"Then... then... what should I do?" Wang Shao asked, his voice quivering.

"I had a friend who was once blackmailed, and in the end, the other party had to pay three to five times as compensation, for restitution and emotional distress and the like," Fatty said with a faint smile. "Wang Shao, don’t you think your extortion should merit some compensation?"

Wang Shao was dumbfounded; Fatty was indeed very greedy.
