Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 270: Self-righteous

Hearing this, Lv Liang's heart turned bitter. What an idiot, he silently cursed. This kid is so damn clueless. It's clearly not the time for small talk, yet he still comes up here to swagger. Is he asking for a beating?

Sure enough, just as Lv Liang was thinking this, Zhang Guodong's right foot lashed out fiercely, kicking Meng Zhao squarely in the abdomen.

BANG!

Meng Zhao was sent sprawling to the ground, clutching his stomach and howling in pain. After howling on the ground for a few moments, his eyes darted around and he quickly cried out, "Captain Lv, Captain Lv, look, look!

"They're so arrogant! They dare to hit me even when you're here. Look how arrogant they are! It's too much! There's no law and order left!"

Hearing this, Lv Liang grew distressed. He had a feeling Lin Kuang's group was not to be trifled with, and he didn't want to provoke them. But now he had to step forward, whether he liked it or not.

"Ahem, everyone, don't you think this is going a bit too far? Regardless, I must ask you all to come with me to the station," Lv Liang said, forcing a smile.

"I told you, you can't handle this. Get your Director Shi over here," Zhang Guodong said again, his tone even more commanding.

Seeing this, Lv Liang thought it over. Why should I get in the middle of this? Since they're asking for the director, let the director deal with the headache. Why should I get involved?

With that thought, Lv Liang let out a sigh of relief, took out his phone, and quickly dialed Shi Yushan's number.

Before long, Shi Yushan answered the call. "Hello, Captain Lv. What's the matter?"

"Director, it's like this." Lv Liang stepped aside and recounted the incident of Meng Zhao being beaten. He also mentioned the identities of Lin Kuang's companions, along with his own speculations.

"Director, I have a feeling these people aren't simple. Also, that middle-aged man, the one around fifty, called you out by name. He seemed quite familiar with you.

"And, moreover… he didn't seem very respectful toward you," Lv Liang said cautiously.

Listening to Lv Liang's words, Shi Yushan's expression changed. As the director, he was no fool. After carefully considering Lv Liang's report, his complexion suddenly shifted. Around fifty, doesn't take me seriously, and from the military region... Damn it, it couldn't be that guy Zhang Guodong, could it?

At this thought, cold sweat immediately beaded on Shi Yushan's forehead. If it really was that old fellow, then he certainly didn't need to show him any respect.

What puzzled Shi Yushan was why a man like Zhang Guodong would go to such an expensive place to eat. That wasn't his style at all.

Could he be hosting someone important? The thought made Shi Yushan shudder. Anyone worth Zhang Guodong treating at a place like this must have an extraordinary status, possibly even higher than his own. It's likely a big shot from the military!

At this thought, Shi Yushan was so frightened he almost wet himself. This matter had really blown up!

"Director? Director, are you still there?" Lv Liang couldn't help but ask cautiously when the line went silent.

"Ah, ah! Hold them, Lv Liang! You must keep them there, and whatever you do, do not provoke those soldiers! I'm on my way, I'll be right there!" Shi Yushan said frantically.

"Ah, okay, okay! I'll do as you say," Lv Liang replied quickly. He could hear the tension and dread in Shi Yushan's voice, which only confirmed that this group was far from ordinary. They were likely bigwigs from the military region!

And in the Nanjing Military Region, for someone to disregard Shi Yushan so blatantly... they would have to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Nanjing Military Region himself! Lv Liang's not-so-dull brain whirred at high speed as he instantly grasped the serious implications.

Realizing this, Lv Liang began to tremble, and he felt a surge of relief. He was thankful he hadn't shouted at these soldiers. Otherwise, he probably would have been stripped of his captaincy. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he stepped toward Zhang Guodong and the others.

"Ahem, um, everyone, please wait a moment. The director will be here shortly," Lv Liang said meekly.

Having guessed their identities, how could he possibly dare to act cocky?

Zhang Guodong merely nodded calmly. He couldn't be bothered with such a minor character.

Seeing this, Lv Liang secretly sighed with relief. Luckily, Zhang Guodong didn't deign to deal with him; otherwise, he wouldn't have even had a chance to resist. With that, Lv Liang respectfully stepped aside and said no more.

At this point, the onlookers also sensed that something was amiss and began speculating about the identities of Lin Kuang's group.

Only Meng Zhao remained blissfully unaware of what was happening.

Seeing Lv Liang fall silent, Meng Zhao fumed. That Lv Liang is inhuman! After all the favors I've given him, he refuses to help me. What a despicable piece of trash! he cursed inwardly.

It's quite comical to imagine one scumbag calling another a scumbag.

However, Meng Zhao didn't dare say anything more at the moment. Instead, he immediately called his father. In his eyes, his father was an emperor; as long as his father stepped in, there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.

Watching Meng Zhao take out his phone, Lv Liang cursed inwardly. It's useless no matter who you call now!

But Lv Liang didn't dare stop him, and Zhang Guodong showed no intention of doing so either.

"Dad, come save me! I've been beaten up! I'm at the Jiahao International Hotel! Come save me!" As soon as his father answered, Meng Zhao scrunched up his face and started crying, wailing while sitting on the floor. He actually looked rather pitiful.

Who knows what his father said to him, but Meng Zhao's expression brightened considerably before he hung up the phone.

"You, you, you, and you! All of you just wait! My dad will be here soon, and then you'll all be done for!" Meng Zhao pointed at Lin Kuang, Zhang Guodong, Yang Wucheng, and the others, his face triumphant.

Neither Lin Kuang, Zhang Guodong, nor Yang Wucheng paid any mind to Meng Zhao's expression. In their eyes, his father was nothing; it wouldn't have mattered if the president himself was his relative.

Seeing Lin Kuang and the others remain silent, Meng Zhao sneered. They're just putting on a brave face. I wonder what they're really thinking.

So, Meng Zhao watched them coldly, awaiting his father's rescue.

About ten minutes later, the elevator doors opened, and Shi Yushan came running over, panting. He had run countless red lights on his way, driving as if he were in *The Fast and the Furious* just to arrive so quickly.

Taking in the scene, Shi Yushan's gaze landed on Zhang Guodong, who was standing beside Lin Kuang. When he saw that it was indeed Zhang Guodong, his heart skipped a beat.

At the same time, his eyes subtly flickered toward Meng Zhao. This kid really knows how to stir up trouble. But of all the people to provoke, you just had to mess with this old fox. Aren't you just asking to die?
