Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 129 Don't kneel! I still prefer to see you arrogant and domineering!

"What? Zhao Lichun?"

"Geng Ping, what are you saying?"

"You haven't mistaken me for someone else, have you?"

"How could his father be Zhao Lichun?"

Zhao Feiyu and his three companions were still somewhat hesitant.

But Geng Ping, the fat man who was slumped on the ground, looked ashen-faced.

Why would I lie to you?

"Apologize right now! Seriously!"

"You can just ask anyone who knows a little about the officialdom in Handong."

"I knew it wasn't just the Huilong Hotel; the entire Huilong Group belonged to the Zhao siblings."

No sooner had Geng Ping finished speaking than someone asked:

"Aren't you from Yantai, Handong?"

"Yes!"

Geng Ping said with a long face, "So why don't you believe me?"

puff~

Zhao Feiyu suddenly choked on his cigarette smoke.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly tried to get up.

But Zhao Ruilong grabbed him and pinned him down.

"Don't get up!"

"Keep fighting! I'll stay with you!"

The other three, who were not held down, naturally stood up as well.

How can I possibly sit still?

Their expressions were incredibly awkward and embarrassed.

Although they are from other places, they are still Chinese.

Moreover, because of doing business, I often have to deal with government departments.

So of course I know just how important Zhao Shuji of Handong Province really is!

In fact, it's not just about the records of a province.

Even the records of a city or a county are already quite remarkable.

Even the children of a township clerk are not people that ordinary people can afford to offend.

But now...

Zhao Feiyu not only flirted with girls on other people's turf, but also flaunted his wealth and acted recklessly.

What's the difference between this behavior and acting arrogantly in the King of Hell's palace?

Does he really think he's the Monkey King, Sun Wukong?

The three were both astonished and secretly relieved.

Fortunately, they were just watching the show from beginning to end and didn't help Zhao Feiyu.

As for Zhao Feiyu himself...

At that moment, he perfectly exemplified what it means for a smile to be uglier than a cry.

The arrogant and domineering attitude he displayed in the elevator downstairs, harassing shop assistants and throwing money around, has completely vanished.

Right now, he wishes he could turn back time, and he wishes he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

His lips trembled, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

My whole body felt ice-cold, as if I had been thrown into an ice cellar.

My mind felt like it had been shoved into a shovel, turning into a complete mess.

From the soles of my feet to the top of my head, especially my back, it felt not only cool but also soft.

After a long while, he finally managed to stammer out a few words.

"Brother...brother, oh no, Mr. Zhao...Mr. Zhao...I..."

"What? Didn't you want to play mahjong? Keep playing!"

"Mr. Zhao, I was wrong, I was terribly wrong, I was blind, I was completely blind..."

Looking at Zhao Feiyu, whose expression was even more grieving than if his own parents had died, one could see that he was utterly devastated.

In that instant, Zhao Ruilong suddenly felt utterly bored.

Should we let them continue playing mahjong?

Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to fight again.

A faint sigh.

Zhao Ruilong took a drag of his cigarette.

"Can you please stop doing this? It's so pointless!"

"You need to recover. I still prefer seeing you before, when you were arrogant and domineering, really!"

"Why are you crying and apologizing to me like this? I'm not going to hit you, yell at you, or have anyone deal with you, so why are you doing this?"

"Think about it, if I really didn't like you and didn't want to see you acting arrogantly in front of me, I would have had the security guard throw you out of the elevator downstairs."

At this point, Zhao Ruilong glanced at the other three people.

"Don't just stand there, all of you! Quickly help me persuade him to recover as soon as possible."

"I've finally met someone who doesn't flatter or fawn over me, and who dares to show off his abilities in front of me."

Zhao Ruilong's words were sincere and heartfelt; he wasn't just putting on airs.

Since the Liang family fell, he has officially become the Crown Prince of Handong.

I've seen too many enthusiastic, fawning smiles and heard too many sycophantic words.

At first it was quite enjoyable, but after seeing and hearing it so many times, I really got tired of it.

Just like in the past when conditions were poor, it was a rare treat to eat meat, and we felt incredibly happy, hoping to eat meat every day.

When you eat meat every day and struggle with dieting, anyone would get tired of it and want to try something different!

I finally met someone from out of town who came to Handong, didn't recognize me, and was incredibly arrogant.

We hadn't even had enough fun before it abruptly ended.

We really wanted more!

but……

Zhao Ruilong's words had a different effect on Zhao Feiyu.

They seem to never hit, scold, or get angry.

But every word, every sentence, felt like a slap in the face.

Instead, it made him feel even more uncomfortable, more fearful, and even more restless.

Sudden.

Zhao Feiyu took a step back, and then knelt down with a thud.

There was a snap.

A heavy slap suddenly echoed throughout the private room.

It possesses immense strength and incredible speed.

Looking at Zhao Feiyu, he slapped himself so hard that his face swelled up.

She looked at me with a pitiful expression, her eyes brimming with tears.

Zhao Ruilong hadn't spoken yet.

He then raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

They didn't care at all about their friends being embarrassed in front of them.

Right now, he clearly only has one thought in his mind: to save his life!

"That makes it even less interesting!"

"What's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Get up quickly, I, Zhao Ruilong, am not a petty person."

"You're a guest of my hotel. You had a few drinks and lost your temper, making a small mistake. What's the big deal?"

"Besides, we both share the surname Zhao, and we might even have been family hundreds of years ago. Why are you doing this? Get up! Get up now!"

Zhao Ruilong spoke with a smile, but Zhao Feiyu looked miserable and shook his head repeatedly.

"Mr. Zhao, please let me kneel!"

"I sincerely apologize to you, and I will never dare to do it again!"

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

"Okay, I accept your apology. Get up, it's alright now!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong stubbed out his cigarette and got up to leave.

As I approached the door, I looked back.

Zhao Feiyu was still kneeling like a dog.

The others also looked tense and anxious.

"Damn it, can't we just meet someone ruthless enough not to be afraid of Zhao Lichun?"

this moment.

Zhao Ruilong suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for Liang Wei.

He was just as powerful and willful as his second sister, Liang Lu, and just as vengeful.

Unfortunately……

He offended Lu Yike, the woman he should never have offended!

He was charged with a variety of crimes and was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

Even if they behave well in prison and receive a reduced sentence.

By the time he gets out, it will almost be 2020.

This fully demonstrates the terror of power!

This is why Zhao Feiyu suddenly stopped pretending.

Suddenly I was terrified and knelt down, slapping myself in the face.

Because he clearly knew that offending powerful figures and being retaliated against, or even killed, was all too easy.

Especially about himself, what evil deeds he had done in the past that made him so arrogant and domineering, and how he amassed his wealth.

There's no need to frame or label them; once investigated, they'll inevitably end up in jail.

With such a guilty conscience, where does one get the confidence to be arrogant?

With a sigh, Zhao Ruilong closed the door and left.

Rather than watching Zhao Feiyu get scared out of his wits, it's better to go back to your own private suite.

Now that we've finally made it back to Luzhou, we can't keep Gao Xiaoqin and her sister waiting too long.

As for the four people in the private room...

The three people standing there remained silent.

Geng Ping, slumped on the ground, was still shaken.

Zhao Feiyu, kneeling, stared intently at the door.

After a dozen seconds or so, the door still hadn't opened, so he smiled sheepishly.

"Is...it should be alright now?"

Geng Ping glanced sideways.

He looked at Zhao Feiyu with a frown, as if he were looking at an idiot.

"You think this is all over?"

"Didn't I already apologize? And you all heard him say he accepted my apology!"

Zhao Feiyu smiled, convinced that everything was alright now.

However, Geng Ping shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Yu, he said he accepts the apology, but do you really think it's all over?"

"What else do you want me to do? I can't exactly chase after him and kowtow to him again in public, can I?"

Zhao Feiyu was getting a little anxious.

Inside the private room, he didn't care whether he knelt down, apologized, or was slapped.

I did make a mistake; I was too arrogant and conceited, and I looked down on everyone.

But going outside and kneeling down to apologize in front of everyone is a completely different story.

Not only would he embarrass himself, but he would also damage the reputation of his elder brother, Su Jinyi.

Geng Ping slowly stood up.

"Although he seemed very approachable and magnanimous."

"But given what you've done, I don't think kneeling down to apologize is enough."

"After all, he's no ordinary man; he's the Crown Prince of Handong!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone suggested:

"Go find Chairman Su! Ask him what to do!"

Zhao Feiyu quickly shook his head.

"No way! If my older brother knew I did something this stupid, he'd kill me!"

Geng Ping said with a wry smile, "But you've already done it! Do you still want to hide it from him?"

Others also tried to persuade him.

"Go find Chairman Su right away! Admitting your mistake and being found out by him are two different things!"

"Exactly! With Chairman Su's strength and background, only if he steps in to mediate can this matter be completely resolved."

Zhao Feiyu gritted his teeth, still hesitating.

How could Geng Ping and the others remain calm?

No one wanted to be implicated, so they all tried to persuade them again.

After being persuaded by everyone, Zhao Feiyu finally got up, quickly opened the door, and rushed towards the fire escape.

He didn't even want to take the elevator anymore; what if he ran into President Zhao?

I ran downstairs and into the lobby.

Just then, the eldest brother, Su Jinyi, and his family finished seeing off their guests.

"Big brother!"

Zhao Feiyu slowed his pace and called out.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Su Jinyi helped his elderly mother-in-law walk slowly back.

"There's something small I need to discuss with you."

Zhao Feiyu tried to appear calm.

But he used too much force, and his cheeks became red and swollen from the slap.

Others might mistakenly think he had drunk too much, but Su Jinyi knew there was something wrong.

"Xiaoyu."

Su Jinyi handed his mother-in-law over to his wife for support.

"You all go back to your rooms and rest first. I have some things to take care of and will be back soon."

After saying that, Su Jinyi walked towards the rest area in the corner of the hall, and Zhao Feiyu quickly followed.

After his elder brother's family had all left, Zhao Feiyu recounted with deep shame:

"Brother, I had a couple too many drinks tonight, and my head's a bit foggy..."

Su Jinyi suddenly slumped onto the sofa.

He had a feeling that Zhao Feiyu had gotten into trouble, but he didn't expect him to have gotten into such a big mess.

He had Zhao Lichun, the clerk of Handong Province, have his son play mahjong with him...

This is absolutely outrageous!

He stared in astonishment at Zhao Feiyu, who was bowing his head in shame.

Su Jinyi raised his hand angrily, pointing and shouting in a low voice, clearly annoyed:

"What...what am I supposed to say to you?"

"Just because you have a few coins in your pocket, you think you're some kind of god?"

"I told you long ago to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, did you fucking ignore me?"

"I brought you here because there's a campaign to rectify and educate people in Linjiang right now, and I'm worried you'll get into trouble and run into a gun."

"But you, damn it, still haven't calmed down even after arriving in Luzhou. You actually managed to offend the person I shouldn't have offended, you..."

Zhao Feiyu knelt down without hesitation.

However, with the sofa providing some cover, at least passersby couldn't tell whether he was kneeling or squatting.

"Big brother, I know I've made a huge mistake."

"You can hit me or scold me afterward, whatever you want."

"But you have to save me now! I don't want to get into trouble and go to jail, and I definitely don't want to drag you into this!"

Su Jinyi glared fiercely at Zhao Feiyu.

He knew that even if he beat this guy half to death right now, it would be pointless.

"Come on, let's go pick out a decent gift and apologize to the beautiful girl you want to play with."

"Okay, okay, I've seen her name tag. She's Xiao Ya, the manager of the second housekeeping department!"
