Chapter 97 Can A Slap Wake You Up?
The mayor's words shocked everyone.
No one had expected the mayor, who had come to the wedding banquet, to speak up for Long Chen. Wasn't he an important guest of the Zhou family? Logically speaking, he should be helping the Zhou family, but now it seemed to be the other way around.
Zhou Chuan and the members of the Zhou family were also stunned. They stared at the mayor in disbelief.
The mayor smiled and didn't think that there was any problem, "Master Zhou, I hope that you can seriously consider what I said just now. I heard that Miss Li Yuechan and Long Chen were originally in love with each other. Since Young Master Long has come here, it shows that he loves Miss Li Yuechan deeply. So, please don't stop him."
"Mayor, have you forgotten our agreement? When my Zhou family came to Qian Prefecture, we first discussed with you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to help an outsider like this?"
Zhou Chuan's eyes were cold.
He was not afraid of a mayor. After all, his father was a true-blue general who had not retired.
The mayor felt a little guilty towards Zhou Chuan.
After all, Zhou Chuan's background was terrifying.
However, when he thought of the secret order he had received about Long Chen not long ago, the his courage grew.
Thinking of the secret order, the mayor's spirit was risen.
There were only Long Chen's photo and a few words on the secret order. Long Chen's identity was an SSS-class top secret.
Therefore, the mayor recognized Long Chen as soon as he saw him.
He didn't know about Long Chen's identity, but the secret order was for him to help Long Chen deal with any difficulties unconditionally at all costs. Just this alone gave the mayor endless confidence.
"Master Zhou, let me be frank with you. If you and Young Master Long can resolve this matter peacefully, I can stand aside and do nothing. However, if you want to harm Young Master Long, I will help him at all costs."
The mayor's expression was extremely serious, and he did not seem to be joking at all.
As for the mayor who said this, he had completely chosen his position.
He would help Long Chen even at the risk of offending a general.
The guests were in an uproar, not knowing what was going on.
Could it be that Long Chen's identity was more terrifying than the Zhou family?
Han Min and Li Shiqi were both stunned.
The development of the situation had completely exceeded their imagination.
Zhou Chuan furrowed his brows, unable to understand the mayor's actions.
In Zhou Chuan's opinion, the mayor had gone mad.
"Mayor Yu, don't you know what happened to the previous mayor?"
Zhou Chuan's voice was low.
"I know, but it doesn't matter."
Mayor Yu said sternly.
"Good, very good. Today, I'd like to see what kind of superman Long Chen is to make you help him so much."
Zhou Chuan suddenly looked at Long Chen and shouted, "Kid, I don't care who you are. I won't forgive you for causing such a scene at my son's wedding."
"Oh, how does Master Zhou plan on not letting me off?"
Long Chen asked indifferently.
"You will die. Even the God can't save you. I tell you."
Zhou Chuan sneered.
"I also want to tell you the same," Long Chen said indifferently, "I heard that the Zhou family is working with an enterprise from Dao Chao to launch a health care drug. The drug may seem fine, but when mixed with other things, it will cause fatal damage. It's highly contagious."
I think Zhou family must be tired of living to be doing this kind of business with the enterprise from Dao Chao. "
"You... You're talking nonsense."
For the first time, a hint of panic appeared in Zhou Chuan's eyes.
The faces of all the guests in the hall changed.
Long Chen sneered, "You know the best whether I'm talking nonsense or not. I'm here today to take my woman away and deal with this matter. Mayor, I'll immediately send people to investigate Zhou Group, especially their health care drugs.
No one from the Zhou family is allowed to leave this place or make any phone calls before the investigation is done."
"Yes."
The mayor immediately did as he was told.
"Impudent!"
"Mayor Yu, do you know what the consequences will be?" Zhou Chuan panicked.
"I don't know. Right now, I should follow Young Master Long's orders."
Mayor Yu ignored Zhou Chuan and was busy making calls.
"Good, very good. Remember what you did today."
Zhou Chuan turned around and wanted to leave.
Long Chen took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chuan threw a backhand punch. His movements were very swift, and it was obvious that he had practiced this before.
However, in Long Chen's eyes, it was just a mediocre skill.
With a loud bang, Zhou Chuan was pinned to the ground.
"Go! Hurry! Inform the group not to let anyone enter the group."
Zhou Chuan roared. No one knew who he was talking to.
However, there were more than ten people who wanted to leave immediately.
Long Chen sneered and charged forward like a bolt of lightning, beating all the people who tried to escape to the ground.
"Like I said, no one will be able to escape today."
Long Chen said coldly.
"Long Chen, do you want Li Yuechan to die here?"
At this moment, Zhou Haiyang's sinister voice was heard.
Long Chen turned around and saw Zhou Haiyang holding a broken glass bottle against Li Yuechan's neck.
Long Chen frowned and stared at Zhou Haiyang, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Immediately, let her go."
"You must be dreaming. Let me go now, or I'll kill her!" Zhou Haiyang yelled.
"Long Chen, let him go."
Han Min was so scared that her face turned pale.
Li Shiqi was also trembling, "Haiyang, calm down. We agreed to your marriage with Yuechan. Although you didn't complete the wedding, we have already recognized you as our son-in-law. Don't do anything stupid."
"Get lost, get lost! You have no right to speak."
Zhou Haiyang roared.
When Long Chen heard Li Shiqi's words, he did feel a little sad.
Li Yuechan could sense Long Chen's disappointment. With reddened eyes, she said in a low voice, "Long Chen, don't stoop to their level. I'm sorry. I know I've done something wrong. I shouldn't have gone through all that for the sake of the family and agreed to marry someone else. I'm sorry. I can die, but can you forgive me?"
"We can talk about forgiving you later. It's not the time to talk about this now."
Long Chen's tone became extremely cold.
Long Chen did this on purpose because he wanted to teach Li Yuechan a lesson.
Li Yuechan's heart was in her throat when she saw Long Chen's expression. She was extremely afraid.
"Sister, I've already advised you not to listen to our parents' arrangements, but you didn't believe me. Now that you see, brother-in-law might really not want you anymore."
Li Yuexin said in a low voice.
When Li Yuechan heard Li Yuexin's words, she couldn't hold it in anymore and her tears started to fall.
"Li Yuexin, don't talk nonsense. Can't Li Yuechan live without Long Chen? Can't she find another man? Which part of Haiyang wasn't as good as Long Chen? He has everything that Long Chen has, and Haiyang and Li Yuechan can also give birth to children and live a happy life. Isn't that right?"
Han Min gritted her teeth.
Han min's anger had reached a boiling point when she was about to become Zhou Haiyang's mother-in-law, who was a super-rich second-generation heir, but was interrupted.
"I advise you to take back what you just said. That's not what a good mother should say."
Long Chen's face turned cold.
Long Chen pretended to ignore Zhou Haiyang, who was pressing the glass shards against Li Yuechan's neck.
"I just want to say that, what can you do to me? Zhou Haiyang is better than you in every way. It's definitely much more better for Yuechan to follow him than you."
Han Min said loudly.
All the guests were speechless. Anyone could tell that Long Chen must have an extremely terrifying background if even the mayor favored him.
However, Han Min didn't seem to notice it at all.
Her words made Long Chen laugh.
"You forced Yuechan to marry Zhou Haiyang and sacrificed her happiness in exchange for the benefits you wanted. Have you ever thought about her? Or, are you willing to give your daughter to the Zhou family just because you were threatened by them? Don't you think you're being shameless by doing this?"
Long Chen sneered.
"You don't need to care about what we do. The Li family's business has nothing to do with you. You'd better not bother Yuechan. Haiyang is the best match for her."
Han Min said loudly.
"Do you think that a slap can wake you up?"
Long Chen asked in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
Han Min didn't understand.
Slap.
Long Chen raised his hand and slapped Han Min across the face.
Han Min was stunned by the slap. Just as she was about to make a scene, Long Chen's cold eyes scared her so much that she didn't dare to say another word.
"I'll only give you a slap since you're Yuechan's mother," Long Chen said sternly, staring at Han Min. "If you do anything out of line again, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"Long Chen, you..."
"You're not qualified to talk to me either. Shut up," Long Chen raised his voice and interrupted Li Shiqi.
If he could, he really wanted to send this couple to the hell.
However, he could not do that. No matter what, Han Min and Li Shiqi were still Li Yuechan's biological parents.
"Young Master Long, I've already informed the relevant departments to start an investigation. The people from the government will be here soon too and take full control of this place."
The mayor, who had just finished his call, said to Long Chen respectfully.
Long Chen knew that the mayor must have received a secret order from the higher-ups, so he recognized him.
"Mayor, you should be full of doubts about my identity, right? Do you feel a little panicked when you're doing these things?"
Long Chen's tone carried a hint of ridicule.
"To be honest, I do, but I understand that I have to do this. What Young Master Long did was right."
The mayor said sternly.
"I can tell you the story, but you have to keep it a secret," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Really? I promise, I swear, I will never let anyone know."
The mayor said hurriedly.
"Alright," he said.
Long Chen bent down slightly and whispered a few words into the mayor's ear.
After the mayor heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, the mayor knelt down in front of Long Chen with a thud. "Young... Young Master Long, if you have any needs, I will do my best to help you."
"Let's settle this first. Please get up, mayor. People who don't know might think that I'm your superior. Don't be like this, I'm just a small figure."
Long Chen pulled the mayor up.
"Long Chen, F*ck you! Your woman is still in my hands. Do you believe I'll really kill her?"
Zhou Haiyang roared in anger. He felt like he had been humiliated.
