Threat.
This is a massive threat.
Zhao Yuanfeng's words couldn't be clearer. He is clearly threatening Zheng Haishan by using his family, which is utterly audacious. But thinking back, it seems the Zhao family indeed has that kind of foundation.
The reason being none other, than
As Zhao Yuanfeng said, Zheng Haishan indeed is forty-five years old and recently had a son. What Zheng Haishan didn't expect was that the Zhao family would use his son to threaten him.
"Impudent!" Chu Xin shouted angrily, click—bullets loaded, pointed her gun at Zhao Yuanfeng, coldly saying: "Dare to threaten the law enforcer of the Ancient Martial Realm, it's a great crime. Men, arrest this arrogant person for me!"
Others feared power; she, Chu Xin, did not.
"You dare to point a gun at me?" Zhao Yuanfeng's sinister gaze shifted, boom—a surge of Earth Level Realm's aura erupted, instantly descending upon Chu Xin, even though Chu Xin was skilled, after all, she was a mortal, how could she withstand the suppression of an Ancient Martial Artist?
Instantly, Chu Xin let out a low groan, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.
"Stop!" Zheng Haishan roared: "Zhao Yuanfeng, what do you want?"
"I already said, I want a person from Director Zheng!"
"Aren't you afraid of being punished when the new legislation is enacted?" Although Zheng Haishan's expression was ugly, his words were not without reason. A month later, the new legislation would be in effect, issued by Emperor Star Academy's headquarters, who dares to defy it?
New legislation?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanfeng was momentarily stunned, clearly unaware of any new law.
Thus, Zhao Yuanfeng's voice was stern: "No matter what kind of law, it cannot check an Ancient Martial Artist. I advise you to hand over the person obediently, or else bear the consequences yourself!"
He, Zhao Yuanfeng, came here today on Zhao Yuanqing's orders to demand a person. If he couldn't bring the person back, how could he face Zhao Yuanqing? After all, Zhao Yuanqing's only son was crippled; someone had to be held accountable for this matter.
"Is it?" Zheng Haishan's voice was equally strong.
He continued, "The new legislation is issued by the headquarters of Emperor Star Academy to protect the life and property of ordinary people, and it's signed by the president of the headquarters. Once the new laws are in effect, even an Ancient Martial Artist wouldn't dare to bully ordinary people, would they? Are you implying that you don't even regard the Executive Chairman of Emperor Star Academy?"
Although Zheng Haishan's words were exaggerated, they seemed to hold some truth. Moreover, he wasn't wrong. The new regulations were indeed about to be enforced in a month, decreed by the Emperor Star Academy, the authoritative figure in the Ancient Martial Realm.
Thump~
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanfeng's heart suddenly thudded, obviously shocked by Zheng Haishan's words. Whether Zheng Haishan was telling the truth or not, it can't be ignored. What if it's true?
However, to have Zhao Yuanfeng leave just like that, he was naturally unwilling. After all, he personally came to demand the person, and not getting them would make him lose face.
Then Zhao Yuanfeng spoke, "Do you think standing against an Ancient Martial Clan for the sake of an ordinary person will have a good outcome? And this ordinary person doesn't seem to have any relation with you. Do you think persisting like this is worth it?"
"As the head of the bureau, I am meant to protect the life and property of ordinary people!"
"But he drove into someone and carried dangerous weapons, severely violating the law. Is such a person worth protecting?" Zhao Yuanfeng's gaze was deep and cold, his aura fluctuating.
"It's not about protection; it's about sanction, which is my responsibility. It's not up to you to administer punishment!" Zheng Haishan's voice was equally stern, causing Chu Xin by the side to secretly give a thumbs up, since when did Director Zheng become so righteous?
"You..." Zhao Yuanfeng was so angered by Zheng Haishan's words that his face turned ashen, yet he had no retort. He couldn't possibly start a bloodbath here, could he? The Zhao family doesn't have that leverage.
Then Zhao Yuanfeng coldly snorted: "For a mere Xiao Tianyu, you think it's worth it?"
"Even for a mere Xiao Tianyu, I..."
No, what, Xiao Tianyu?
Bang~
With these words, Zheng Haishan staggered suddenly, his mind spinning, his world turned upside down. Oh my God, after all this argument, it turns out it's for this little ancestor.
Zheng Haishan was very clear about why he came here. It was because he received a call from Celestial Universe International Headquarters earlier, which is why he rushed to the traffic bureau, but was delayed by sudden events in the bureau, causing him to forget about this matter.
Now at the mention of Xiao Tianyu, he woke up immediately.
Gulp~
Zheng Haishan swallowed, cold sweat involuntarily oozing from his body, and his body stiffened. This... this Xiao Tianyu's background is truly terrifying.
Zheng Haishan might not know Xiao Tianyu's true identity, but if the general manager of Celestial Universe International Headquarters in the Imperial Capital of the Ancient Martial Realm personally calls to ask for his release, is there any need to question the identity?
People saw Zheng Haishan transform from his previous firmness into fear, feeling very frustrated, especially Chu Xin, who was utterly speechless, thinking that Director Zheng was afraid of Zhao Yuanfeng?
No, earlier Director Zheng was so formidable, there's no reason for such a quick change, is there? Why?
"Proof, I hope you are sensible enough, if something unfortunate happens to one of your family, you might regret it too late!" At this point, Zhao Yuanfeng's expression was stern, indeed, this Zheng Haishan was still afraid.
"This matter, I'm afraid even your Zhao family couldn't clean up the mess!" Zheng Haishan shouted: "See the guest out for me!"
"..." What's going on?
Zhao Yuanfeng was bewildered. Just now he clearly saw the intense fear in Zheng Haishan's eyes; why is he daring to speak to him like that now?
And Zheng Haishan didn't have time to care about Zhao Yuanfeng, immediately striding away from the hall, while secretly praying in his heart, hoping this little ancestor wouldn't lose his temper.
Anyway, no matter who Xiao Tianyu is, if he can have the general manager of the Celestial Universe International Headquarters personally make a call, that's already beyond what he can handle. Violating traffic regulations and crashing into the Profound Celestial Bridge's guardrail, all of that,
That Profound Celestial Bridge was funded by the Celestial Universe International themselves, they damaged their own things, what business is it of theirs?
Moreover, recently the happenings at the Celestial Universe International Hotel in Fengzhou City have been terrifying enough, with its mysterious president even disregarding Emperor Star Academy, killing its disciple Tuoba Lei, which shows the dominance of Celestial Universe International.
In any case, Zheng Haishan knows that the background of this Xiao Tianyu is terrifying.
Seeing Zheng Haishan hastily leave the hall left many people stunned, even the Ling couple who originally wanted to press Ling Ruoqiu back home were curious.
