In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

However, just because Chen Zhengxi and Qin Wanwan don't want to cause trouble in such a situation doesn't mean that trouble won't come knocking.

After strolling around for a while longer, the two found a slightly quieter spot to sit down. While looking around at the other guests, they also chatted about their recent lives.

Just as Chen Zhengxi and Qin Wanwan were having a pleasant conversation, an uninvited guest walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

"Gentlemen, would you mind getting to know each other?"

The man was middle-aged, bald, and his suit looked very neat, but it still couldn't hide his greasy smell.

Qin Wanwan's expression instantly turned cold upon being interrupted, and she abruptly looked up at the man.

"We don't want to know you, please leave!"

Qin Wanwan refused decisively, and the man was stunned for a moment, hesitating a bit, after all, those who could attend Old Master Jia's birthday banquet could not be unknown people.

But after hesitating for a moment, he regained his composure.

He had been observing for a long time. The two beautiful women, one tall and one short, had not been approached by anyone, which meant that they were not important figures in the eyes of others. Such natural beauty and such extraordinary temperament made him feel restless.

"Gentlemen, please don't refuse yet. Let me introduce myself first. I am..."

"Stop! I don't care who you are, we have no interest in what you're about to say, please don't interrupt our conversation."

"Please get out of here right now. You're in your thirties or forties, and you're still doing this? How childish!"

This time, it was Chen Zhengxi who gave the warning.

But when the man heard this, he became even more excited.

"Little sister, opportunity only favors the prepared. I think you have a great presence and are very suitable for entering the entertainment industry. If you agree, I can make you famous!"

These words made Chen Zhengxi laugh in anger.

"You fucking can't understand human language, huh?!"

After one or two attempts, Chen Zhengxi decided he couldn't take it anymore and confronted her, revealing that she was never some delicate, pampered young lady.

The stark contrast was so striking that even Qin Wanwan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

People nearby were also drawn to Chen Zhengxi's tough attitude. Being looked at by those around him, the mocking gazes made the man feel as if he was losing face.

Their gazes toward Chen Zhengxi and Qin Wanwan turned furious.

"You dare to insult me? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't stay in Whale City!"

Chen Zhengxi rolled his eyes at the sound of it.

She just couldn't understand it. Was she some kind of novel protagonist? She was just having a nice chat with Qin Wanwan, so why was she being targeted by a mad dog?

The other party is still so arrogant... Please, what kind of occasion is this? Don't you, a person of considerable wealth, know this?

This is the Jia family's birthday banquet... How dare you cause trouble like this?

"Hey... Bald Qiang, do you know what kind of occasion this is? Aren't you afraid of getting thrown out if you keep causing trouble like this?"

"You little brat, you're dead!"

As he spoke, the man reached out to grab Chen Zhengxi.

Seeing this, Qin Wanwan reacted very quickly, without any hesitation, and slapped the man across the face.

With a snap, the man's left cheek immediately became red and swollen.

His eyes were bloodshot. How could he, the CEO of a group with hundreds of billions in wealth, have been beaten up?

Coming to his senses, the man disregarded everything else and gripped the cup tightly, ready to smash it at Chen Zhengxi and Qin Wanwan.

Seeing this, the two quickly dodged, and taking advantage of the opening, the man rushed over.

Just as he was about a meter away from Chen Zhengxi and Jiang Wanwan, a tremendous force struck him from behind, and with a bang, the man slammed heavily to the ground.

The pain all over his body made it difficult for him to even get up.

"elder brother!"

Chen Zhengxi was stunned. The one who had just dealt with this bald guy was none other than Chen Zhengshu!

Li Xinyue was standing not far away...

"Jung-hee, are you alright?"

Shaking his head, Chen Zhengxi looked somewhat anxious.

"Brother, won't Dad scold us if we do this...?"

Chen Zhengshu scratched his head and said weakly, "We were acting in self-defense, it shouldn't be that serious..."

The commotion was quite significant, lasting only a minute or two. Jia Renli, who was greeting guests, learned of the situation and rushed over.

Looking at Chen Zhengxi and his sister, Qin Wanwan, and Li Xinyue, whom he didn't recognize, surrounded by the crowd, Jia Renli was completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 517: The Plan for Unification

"Zhengxi and Zhengshu, what are you doing...?"

He glanced at the man lying on the ground groaning, then at the Chen Zhengxi siblings with their worried expressions.

Jia Renli completely ignored the man on the ground.

"Uncle Jia, this is what happened..."

Without hiding anything, Chen Zhengxi gave a general account of what had just happened, and Jia Renli's gaze grew colder as he listened.

When the people around heard Chen Zhengxi address him as Uncle Jia, they knew that the bald man on the ground was finished.

"Secretary Jia! What happened?"

Just then, the crowd automatically parted, and even Principal Wang and others who wanted to watch the excitement were very sensible.

The reason was simple: the newcomer was dressed in a police uniform, and the whale logo on his chest was extremely conspicuous.

Squeezing through the crowd, Yun Haifeng saw Chen Zhengxi and Chen Zhengshu, and didn't even bother to continue asking Jia Renli questions.

He quickly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Jung-hee, Jung-seo, are you alright?"

Shaking his head, Chen Zhengxi reverted to his well-behaved persona.

"Uncle Yun, don't worry, we're fine, it's just..."

As he spoke, Chen Zhengxi pointed to the man on the ground.

"Did he bully you?"

“Comrade Haifeng, this guy had a bad idea to take advantage of Zhengxi and Qin Wanwan. Zhengxi refused, but this bastard tried to force his way in and even tried to hurt someone. Zhengshu came and stopped him. You are in charge of public security, so you should handle this.”

With that, Jia Renli, his face ashen, led Chen Zhengxi and the other three away, leaving Yun Haifeng behind, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at the bald man still groaning on the ground.

He took out his phone and made a call. A few minutes later, several police officers entered the lobby and took the man on the ground away.

Everyone who attended the birthday banquet witnessed the whole thing and gasped in shock. Luckily, they weren't stupid.

Especially when they saw Jia Renli personally leading Chen Zhengxi and the other three young men upstairs, everyone understood that there was a world of difference between them.

Upstairs, after dealing with the officials who came to greet him, Chen Luo sat down at a table with Old Jia, Secretary Aimin, and several retired deputy-level officials for a casual chat.

Just then, Jia Renli led Chen Zhengxi and three others straight over.

"dad!"

Chen Zhengxi moved incredibly fast. Having gotten himself into trouble, he grabbed Chen Luo's arm and shook it incessantly as soon as he arrived.

"Girl, you're almost eighteen, and you're still so clingy to your dad. It's enviable!"

Faced with the teasing, Chen Zhengxi smiled obediently.

"Grandpa Jia, Grandpa Zhang, and all the grandpas, no matter how old you are, I will always be my dad's sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"

This scene made Jia Renli's words catch in his throat. He thought, "I can handle what just happened myself. I'd better not say anything and disturb this harmonious atmosphere."

Thinking of this, Jia Renli gave Chen Zhengshu and the other two a meaningful look before going downstairs.

"dad!"

"Zhengshu, you and Xinyue are here too?"

Chen Zhengshu nodded, then pulled Li Xinyue to bow respectfully to the elderly people.

"Hello Grandpa Jia! Hello Grandpa Zhang! Hello to the other grandpas!"

Looking at Li Xinyue, Secretary Aimin narrowed his eyes.

"Hey Comrade Chen Luo, isn't this little girl Zhengshu's girlfriend? Your Zhengshu won't be eighteen for another two weeks, this is definitely puppy love, aren't you, as his father, going to do anything about it?"

Chen Luo shook his head in response to Secretary Aimin's teasing.

"Children have their own choices when they grow up."

Although Zhengshu won't turn eighteen for another two weeks, he's been sensible since he was little and knows what he should and shouldn't do, so I'm at ease with him in that respect.

Secretary Aimin nodded, basically agreeing.

"I was even saying I'd introduce my granddaughter to your son, Zhengshu, someday, but it seems like that's not going to happen!"

"Ahem, Secretary Aimin, so that's what you were planning..."

"What? Is that not allowed?"

"Sure, but Zhengshu's girlfriend might not be happy. Look, she's glaring at you right now."

I'd be in a bad mood if I angered her, after all, Secretary Li only has one granddaughter.

You're retired, so don't worry. I'm still a long way off.

"What if Secretary Li gets upset and sends me to Handong? I'll have nowhere to turn."

"Oh? Secretary Li's granddaughter?"

Secretary Aimin's eyes widened, and several old men nearby also became interested.

They all looked Chen Luo up and down, their meaning quite clear.

"Hey, Secretary Aimin, please don't look at me like that, it will cause the other veteran comrades to misunderstand."

I had no idea beforehand that the book was about Secretary Li's granddaughter, and neither did Secretary Li. It was purely a coincidence; the two of them were from the same school and college.

It can only be said that fate brought them together.
