CapĂtulo 1797: Chapter 1725: Smashing the Car (Part 3)
The officer in the detention center saw Song Xiaodong meditating inside and was very curious, just preparing to stir up some trouble, when suddenly the phone rang; it was Chen Chengâs uncle wanting to inquire about the matter.
Song Xiaodong heard the commotion outside and knew the main event was here.
âBrother, you tell me, driving without a license, hitting my son and several staff members, and also smashing our car, donât you think this person is too arrogant? Your police team must give us an explanation.â Before anyone even came in, Zheng Lu was already making a fuss at her brother, Zheng Lei.
In a short while, Zheng Lu, Zheng Lei, Chen Cheng, Officer Xiao Liu, and two accompanying policemen walked in, standing in a row outside Song Xiaodongâs cell door.
âSong Xiaodong, stand up!â Officer Xiao Liu beside him was very stern, shouting with his stomach protruding, the flesh on his belly shaking up and down.
âWho?â Originally furious, Zheng Luâs voice changed when hearing this name.
Song Xiaodong looked at Zheng Luâs shifting expression with keen interest, very amused.
Upon closer look, Zheng Lu confirmed it was indeed Song Xiaodong in the cell; she had just met Song Xiaodong a few days ago.
Staring at Song Xiaodong, Zheng Luâs originally glaring eyes gradually calmed, her raised eyebrows slowly relaxed, and her opened mouth gradually closed.
âMom, itâs this idiot who slapped me, hit my subordinates, and smashed my car!â Chen Cheng hadnât noticed the change in his motherâs expression and pointed at Song Xiaodong, saying.
âKid, youâre done for. Iâll make sure you dieâŠâ Before Zheng Lei could finish, he was elbowed hard in the chest by Zheng Lu.
âHuh?â Zheng Lei looked at Zheng Lu, puzzled.
âMr. Song?â Zheng Lu bent forward, cautiously stretching her head to ask.
Song Xiaodong remained motionless, eyes closed, meditating as if asleep.
âMom, what are you doing, find someone to teach him a lesson!â Chen Cheng shook Zheng Luâs arm.
Zheng Lu forcefully shook off Chen Chengâs grip, channeling all the anger she had shown towards Song Xiaodong onto Chen Cheng.
âMom, what are you doing!â Chen Cheng was confused.
âMr. Song, is that you?â Frightened and trembling, Zheng Luâs voice was now shaking.
Song Xiaodong furrowed his brows.
âMr. Song, children are ignorant, as a mother, Iâll teach him.â Zheng Lu said, turning around, looking annoyed and furious at Chen Cheng.
Youâve provoked the wrong person, someone who treated your great-grandfather.
âHonestly, you dare provoke anyone?â Zheng Lu angrily hammered Chen Chengâs arm.
âMom, donât hit meâŠahâŠâ Chen Cheng dodged back and forth trying to avoid the blows.

âStill dare to dodge?â Zheng Lu got even angrier, pinching Chen Chengâs arm hard.
âAhâŠMom, whatâs wrong with youâŠâ Chen Cheng felt that something was terribly amiss; could this bumpkin really be an important figure?
âYouâve caused a big trouble; itâs my fault for spoiling you!â Zheng Luâs voice grew softer as she continued.
âDo you even know who youâve provoked? Heâs the Patriarch Song of the Su Family!â Zheng Lu tugged at Chen Chengâs ear.
Chen Cheng knew little about Beijing matters, especially the Su Family, which had risen swiftly and was not to be underestimated by anyone in Beijing.
Chen Cheng knew the Chen family ranked fourth among the Beijing families, with the Zhao, Yang, and Chu families before them, but hadnât heard of the Su Family.
âKneel down and apologize to Mr. Song!â Zheng Lu urged, pulling Chen Cheng to make him kneel.
Chen Cheng wobbled a bit but didnât move.
âWhy should I kneel down? He hit my car, slapped me, hit my subordinates, and smashed my car; why should I kneel down and apologize to him?â
Chen Cheng stood firm, refusing to kneel.
âDo you know who he is? If he wants you to kneel, he can decide your fate, and even I couldnât save you; what are you still being brave for!â Zheng Lu angrily hit Chen Cheng a couple more times.
âI wonât kneel! Who are you to bully me!â Chen Cheng was still defiant.
âAh, letâs go, find the family head.â Zheng Lu lowered her head, pulling Chen Cheng to leave.
âMr. Song, itâs my failure to discipline; Iâll have our family head come to apologize!â Zheng Lu glanced at Song Xiaodong who was still sitting with eyes closed.
âFamily head?â Now Chen Cheng was a bit panicked; isnât he just a nouveau riche? Is it necessary for the family head to personally come and apologize?
Zheng Lu dragged Zheng Lei and Chen Cheng away, leaving Officer Xiao Liu and his two companions, who, recognizing the dire situation, quickly retreated.
As night deepened, Chen Lin was lying on the Taishi chair, resting his eyes, listening to the Peking Opera humming from the radio.
Suddenly, the phone rang, it was a call from Zheng Lu.
Zheng Lu, arrogant and domineering, wasnât given any powerful position by Chen Lin, only a manager position in a small company, with poor management, where many talented people were scolded away by Zheng Lu.
Zheng Lu seldom called Chen Lin, aware of Chen Linâs disdain for her.
This sudden call made Chen Lin have a bad feeling; what could happen under the three important circumstances?
âFamily head, youâŠbetter come see, our Chen Cheng hasâŠgotten Song Xiaodong, the Patriarch Song, into the detention center.â
âWhat?â Chen Lin stood up in shock, the Taishi chair rocking back and forth.
âChen Cheng clashed with him; he hit our people, gave us compensation, and smashed Chen Chengâs car. Now heâs in the detention center, Iâm out of ideas, and hope you, sir, could intervene.â Zheng Luâs voice quivered more and more with fear.
âYouâŠâ Chen Lin became so furious his feet were lifted, his hand trembling, holding the phone, almost throwing it.
âYouâŠâ Chen Lin raised his hand, pointing at the air, his face flushed red, but words wouldnât come out.
