Chapter 118: Chapter 118: I’m Here to Catch You _1
"Captain Li, what are you doing?" Liu Cong pointed at Ye Ming and said, "Arrest him, quickly take him away!"
At this moment, Captain Li seemed not to hear, staring straight ahead, his face stern, not looking at anyone.
Two law enforcement officers took out handcuffs and directly clapped them onto Liu Cong’s hands.
Liu Cong was even more baffled and asked, "What’s going on? Did you arrest the wrong person?"
Captain Li said indifferently, "There’s no mistake, we’re here to arrest you, take him away!"
"Impossible, Captain Li, there must be some misunderstanding, you must have made a mistake," Liu Cong shouted loudly.
Captain Li no longer had the previous polite demeanor towards him but said impatiently, "Whether there’s a mistake or not, you can call your father and ask yourself, I’ll give you five minutes!"
Liu Cong nodded hastily and pulled out his phone from his pocket.
But before he could make a call, his phone rang first.
"Dad, quick, come save me, Captain Li has gone mad, he’s actually taking me away!" Liu Cong cried out for help with a sobbing voice.
However, all that came from the other end of the phone were curses: "You misfortunate creature, you are just a misfortunate creature, you really know how to make trouble for your old man. Of all people to offend, you had to go and anger Miss Xu of the Xu family! Your father has already been sent packing home; you immediately go and apologize, or else you can die out there for all I care!"
"Miss Xu? How could that be? Where would I dare to...," Liu Cong was about to cry, but the phone had already gone to a busy tone, no one listening to his cries.
After collecting his thoughts, Liu Cong began to reflect on his father’s words in his mind, Miss Xu of the Xu family...
All of a sudden, Liu Cong seemed to understand something, fell to his knees with a thump, and pleaded for mercy from Xu Lele: "Miss Xu, I was wrong earlier, I was blind not to recognize an eminent person and looked down on others with my dog eyes."
"Please spare me this time; I absolutely won’t dare to do it again!"
Xu Lele was expressionless and did not give him a second glance.
With no other options, Liu Cong had no choice but to turn to Ye Ming: "Brother, it was all a misunderstanding earlier, please don’t take it to heart. If you want to hit me, hit me a few more times, what do you say?"
Ye Ming snorted coldly and said, "Some mistakes can only be made once in a lifetime."
He was clear in his heart that Liu Cong was only intimidated by the power behind Xu Lele and was not sincerely apologizing.
He had no intention of letting Liu Cong off the hook.
Having gauged their attitudes, Captain Li wasted no more time and took action himself.
Under the confused gazes of onlookers, Liu Cong was thus taken away.
With the matter concluded, Ye Ming showed a remorseful expression and said to Xu Lele, "I originally brought you out for fun; I didn’t expect that in the end, I’d trouble you."
Xu Lele waved off the concern nonchalantly and said, "It’s no big deal, small matter. Besides, if I hadn’t done this, they would continue to cause problems in the future."
"You could have settled them with force, but that wouldn’t deal with the person behind him, so this is like killing two birds with one stone."
"Alright, let’s go back, I’m kind of hungry," she added.
Without waiting for Ye Ming to respond, Jiang Rou hurriedly said, "Okay, let’s hurry back then, being stared at by so many people is uncomfortable."
After watching Ye Ming and the others leave, Manager Song’s legs went soft, and he sat down on the ground, thinking to himself that it was over.
Even Liu Cong had been dealt with; Manager Song didn’t need to use his toes to realize just how immense their backing was.
Manager Song hadn’t been very pleasant earlier, attempting to curry favor with Liu Cong to preserve his job, only to find in the end that his livelihood was likely lost anyway.
...
Upon returning home, Ye Ming, as usual, donned his apron and entered the kitchen to start cooking. Le Le assisted him by his side.
Jiang Rou sat in the living room, watching the two of them. This time, there was a hint of worry in her heart.
A call from Le Le was enough to get the son of the second in command of Jiang County taken away. One could only imagine the power behind her.
Jiang Rou was just an ordinary person, who had never seen such fanfare in her life. After witnessing the events, worries began to rise in her heart. Could their status truly match that of the Xu Family?
After much thought, Jiang Rou could not come up with a good solution. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, and even though she was concerned, the reality was before her eyes; everything depended on Ye Ming’s fate.
Once the meal was ready, the family sat at the dining table, chatting and laughing as they began to eat.
Unexpectedly, a series of knocks on the door suddenly broke the peace.
After Ye Ming opened the door, he found a strange man standing outside.
"Hello, are you Miss Xu’s boyfriend, Ye Ming?"
"I’m Wang Ning. I spoke with Miss Xu over the phone today."
Wang Ning said with a smile, "I apologize for the abrupt visit."
Learning that the top official of Jiang County was personally visiting, Ye Ming invited him inside.
Le Le also came over and said, "I’m very grateful for your help with today’s events, Uncle Wang."
Upon hearing this address, Wang Ning’s face immediately lit up with a smile, and a sense of guilt filled his heart.
He said, "I feel ashamed. I failed to manage my subordinates properly, making you witness such a farce. I came here specifically to offer an apology. Please, don’t take it to heart."
Le Le didn’t mind it. She gave face to Wang Ning because Jiang Rou still had to live in Jiang County, which could provide some support in the future.
Ye Ming said, "It’s inevitable that a team might have some bad elements, but it’s good to identify them in time. It’s understandable that you, Uncle Wang, might overlook these things with your busy workload."
This statement comforted Wang Ning immensely, and he looked at Ye Ming with even more respect.
"I will surely take your teachings to heart," Wang Ning said with a chuckle. "It’s astonishing that Jiang County could produce a great talent. To have caught Miss Xu’s eye, you two truly are a remarkable couple, evoking envy in others."
"However, I won’t deny my own responsibility, so I’ve brought a gift to apologize, and I hope you won’t disdain it!"
With that, Wang Ning presented a wooden box.
Upon opening it, a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out, permeating the entire home.
Ye Ming immediately recognized that the box contained a Silver Snow Grass. Judging by its appearance, this Silver Snow Grass was a hundred years old, a rare medicinal herb that was priceless.
Wang Ning had put thought into his gift, knowing that given the Xu Family’s status, Le Le probably lacked for nothing.
Therefore, he found out that Ye Ming was recently acquiring medicinal materials and had someone procure this medicinal herb as an apology.
"It’s a small token, not worth much. I hope you will not look down on it," said Wang Ning.
At that moment, Ye Ming furrowed his brow and asked, "Uncle Wang, do you know where this medicinal material came from?"
