Chapter 80: Niu Ju

Hearing Ya Li's concern for Sun Dajun,

I could clearly feel that their concern had already gone beyond that of ordinary colleagues.

Has their relationship really heated up that quickly these past few days?

The whole venue was in chaotic uproar; what kind of meeting is this, anyway?

I didn't expect that after holding two meetings, two incidents would occur.

I had to tell Shi Yong to call an ambulance quickly, lest a real death cause trouble.

After a while, Sun Dajun finally grunted, seeming that nothing serious remained.

By then the ambulance had arrived, and Xiao Hua had someone load Sun Dajun onto it,

Xiao Hua and Ya Li rode in the vehicle to the hospital.

In the conference room only I, Shi Yong, Xiao Long and Xixi and others remained.

Shi Yong said to Xiao Long, "Xiao Long, don't be afraid; just hit him. I've wanted to beat Sun Dajun for a long time."

Xixi added, "Brother Little Dragon, Sun Dajun is too arrogant. No one in the whole company dares to provoke him; he berates ordinary staff outright. What a scoundrel, I support you in hitting him."

I looked at Xiao Long and said, "Xiao Long, we might be in trouble."

Xiao Long replied, "Sir, don't worry; I'll take the hit on Sun Dajun and bear the responsibility."

"It's not your responsibility; Sun Dajun's Godfather is Niu Ju, and they're looking for a chance to trouble us. Xiao Long, while this incident is fresh, you should leave the company immediately," I said seriously to Xiao Long.

"I won't leave. If I do, what will you do, Sir? The company is exactly in need of manpower right now," Xiao Long said.

"You don't need to worry about us, good child Xiao Long; today you must obey the Sir. Go hide for a few days, and I'll explain the situation to your dad.

You have Uncle Shi by your side, and Xixi as well.

You needn't worry.

Xiao Long, the severity of the situation is beyond what you and I can imagine."

I said gravely.

Right now Kong Shi and Niu Ju are looking for trouble with Li Ming and me,

They never had a good pretext, and now Xiao Long has hit Sun Dajun,

so a pretext has emerged; they'll certainly make things difficult for Xiao Long and Li Ming.

At present, getting Xiao Long out quickly is the most correct choice.

Xiao Long still shook his head,

"What am I afraid of, Sir? This is a rule‑of‑law society. I hit Sun Dajun, but Sun Dajun insulted me first. Wherever I go, I'm justified. Haven't they done enough evil? At worst, I'll expose all their scandals."

Seeing the willful Xiao Long, I felt a bit at a loss. The kid is young and doesn't grasp the seriousness.

Installing the Eavesdropping Device is, to them, not even a matter.

Even if you speak out, it will only make them hate you more.

I quickly pulled out my phone,

I need to contact Li Ming and have him take Xiao Ming away.

This place is too dangerous.

Li Ming answered the call promptly,

"Brother, what's up."

I said, "Hurry over and take Xiao Long away. Xiao Long beat Sun Dajun today."

"What? Why did this kid hit Sun Dajun?" Li Ming asked anxiously over the phone.

"Don't worry about the why; I'll explain later. Just come quickly and whisk Xiao Long away, let him hide outside for a few days. You must know Sun Dajun's Godfather is Niu Ju; these are extraordinary times," I told Li Ming.

Li Ming understood immediately,

"Alright, Brother, I'll fetch Xiao Long right away and have him wait for me in the company."

Li Ming hung up.

I said to Shi Yong, "Arrange security; no one may enter or leave the company for now. Xiao Long, your dad will pick you up shortly. Kid, whenever it is, Sir will always believe you're a good child."

Xiao Long nodded.

I turned to Xixi and said, "With this incident, someone will surely post unfavorable comments online; try to calm things down on the internet. Our Da Heng Group is already in a turbulent season, and any negative news would have a huge adverse impact on us."

Xixi replied, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll go right away."

Xixi left.

Soon after, Li Ming arrived by car,

When Li Ming entered, Xiao Long, Shi Yong and I went downstairs.

Li Ming, take Xiao Long away; the farther from Zaocheng, the better.

For now, don't let him return to Zaocheng.

Xiao Long said, still puzzled, "Dad, Sir, I can't understand. I'm clearly in the right, so why must we hide?"

Li Ming shouted, "You brat, you're asking for a beating. How can you just hit people in the company? Hurry up, listening to your Sir isn't wrong."

Li Ming took Xiao Long away.

With Xiao Long gone, most of my worries were lifted.

I said to Shi Yong, "Shi Yong, go to the hospital and see how Sun Dajun is doing."

Shi Yong shouted, "I won't go; that guy just begs to be beaten."

"Whether he deserves it or not, it's not our place to hit him, nor in this manner. I didn't expect Xiao Long's temper to be so rash; he knocked Sun Dajun down with a single strike."

"Xiao Long has clearly trained, and his martial arts are professional; Sun Dajun is no match for him," Shi Yong said from the side.

I was just about to say something,

when my phone rang.

When I saw it was Niu Ju's call,

it was the person I most didn't want to face,

I could only answer it,

"Jianqiang, you're at the office, right?" Niu Ju asked.

"Niu Ju, I'm here. What instructions do you have? Please speak," I said.

"Jianqiang, I heard that Big Army was beaten up and taken to the hospital. Who actually did it?" Niu Ju asked.

"As for that, Xiao Long beat up Big Army; the two kids were just playing, didn't expect the youngster's temper to flare and actually strike. I'll go back and criticize Xiao Long," I said deliberately casually.

"Is Xiao Long Li Ming's son?" Niu Ju asked.

"Yes, he's grown up with Big Army since childhood. The two are very familiar. They used to fight often in the past. I'm already used to it. Niu Ju, if you're free tonight, I'll treat you to a drink."

I said with a smile, and changed the subject.

Niu Ju suddenly said angrily on the phone, "We'll talk about the drink later. Xiao Long used to fight Big Army, I didn't intervene. That's different now; Big Army is my Godson, and he beat Big Army, and his strike was so heavy,

almost killed him,

this is not just a simple playfight,

don't think that because he's Li Ming's son you can act recklessly,

I am Big Army's Godfather, I must speak for my son,

Today Xiao Long beat Big Army, as if I wasn't in his sight.

That's equivalent to hitting me.

You have Li Ming bring Xiao Long to my office, and I'll question him face‑to‑face."

After hearing Niu Ju's words,

I thought to myself, you're a Godfather, how much do you love your Godson? It's just an excuse to make a scene.

I'm Big Army's biological father; I don't feel sorry at all. What are you so concerned about?

But I can't say it like that,

I laughed, "Niu Ju, the two kids are just playing, no need to get angry. Xiao Long's strike was a bit heavy, I've already criticized him.

Let's put this matter to rest.

I'll have him go to Big Army to offer a ceremonial apology.

Niu Ju, later I'll meet you together with Li Ming,

to give you a special explanation of this matter, okay?

Big Army is also my son, I feel sorry too,

Xiao Long is Li Ming's son; he calls me Grandpa, and these two brat kids are fighting, sigh, what to do.

Niu Ju, let's not step forward.

Let the two of them resolve it themselves.

What I wanted to tell Niu Ju was that I'm Big Army's biological father. I don't know if he caught that.
