157: Do you want to hit me twice more? I don't think it's bad enough.

Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his kidney.

"Dad! What are you doing? I told you to deal with that pretty boy, why are you hitting me?"

Jiang's father pulled out his crocodile leather belt, his anger erupting as he unleashed a combo that nearly sent his own son to the afterlife.

"I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing! Giving you money to go out, eat, drink, fool around with women and your scoundrel friends, and neglect your business is one thing, but you actually went and provoked Wang Jiawei?"

Don't you know? Wang Jiawei is famous for being protective of his own people. Last time, someone was blind enough to insult a delivery person from Nifeng Express.

Wang Jiawei immediately mobilized his legal team and fought a lawsuit against them for a full three years, only ending it when the other party apologized and paid 300,000 in compensation.

And now you've offended Wang Jiawei's distinguished guest? You even threatened to teach them a lesson?

Do you really think you're some kind of wealthy young master in the capital?

"Anyone who can be respectfully called a distinguished guest by Wang Jiawei is at least a big shot on the same level as him. You offended two of them at once—are you trying to bankrupt our family?"

Jiang's father swung his belt wildly, and Jiang's mother couldn't stop him even if she tried.

"Mom, Dad has gone crazy! He's going to kill me!" Jiang Feng howled in terror.

Jiang's mother, however, remained indifferent. "Son, your father is holding back. You were definitely in the wrong this time. Don't be fooled by the fact that your father has had dinner with Wang Jiawei; that was just him giving us face."

"In front of a behemoth like Nifeng Express Group, our Jiang Family Logistics Group is nothing but a fart. You're coming with me to apologize right now."

Jiang's father fastened his belt. "If Wang Jiawei and his distinguished guest refuse to forgive you, I'd rather have another child with your mother."

"Huh? No, Dad, I'm your own flesh and blood!" Jiang Feng sobbed, snot and tears running down his face.

Jiang's father sighed. "I can have another son, but if the Jiang family's business is ruined, then we have nothing left."

Jiang Feng stood up numbly, feeling as if his parents had become different people.

Little did he know, this was his parents' true nature. If he had bullied an ordinary person today, his parents might have even egged him on.

But today, Jiang Feng had provoked someone he shouldn't have, and Jiang's father wished he could beat him to death.

"Old Jiang, should we hit him a couple more times? I don't think he looks miserable enough. What if General Manager Wang isn't satisfied?" Jiang's mother whispered.

Jiang's father nodded, and the crocodile leather belt struck again. A moment later, a heaven-shaking scream rang out.

The Bvlgari Hotel in the capital.

Lu Shenwei and the others were sitting on the lobby sofa chatting. Wang Jiawei said, "Director Lu, I think that kid is scared out of his wits. Let's do it tomorrow; I will definitely make him come to you and apologize in person tomorrow."

Lu Shenwei waved his hand. "It's not a big deal, but he needs to be properly educated. Who knows how many people this kind of second-generation brat will harm when he goes out?"

If you offend Director Lu, he might forgive you for being ignorant, but if you insult Director Lu, that's a huge problem.

"Rest assured, I won't let him or his family off easily," Wang Jiawei guaranteed.

Lu Shenwei nodded and stood up. "Alright."

Just as Wang Jiawei was about to escort Lu Shenwei back to his room, he saw three people running over in a panic from a distance.

"General Manager Wang, General Manager Wang, my son didn't mean to offend you. It's my poor upbringing; I've already punished him for it." Jiang's father apologized hurriedly.

But Wang Jiawei didn't even glance at him. "Director Lu, this is the boss of Jiangyuan Logistics that I was just telling you about."

"You hit him quite hard. This is your own son, and you were still able to bring yourself to do it, Boss Jiang," Lu Shenwei teased.

"And you are?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

Jiang Feng looked resentful. "Dad, he's that boyfriend of Bai Xiaoying."

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized. He hadn't expected the distinguished guest Wang Jiawei spoke of to be so young.

"I am truly sorry, it is my failure in raising my son," Jiang Yuan apologized repeatedly, cupping his hands.

Lu Shenwei said softly, "If a simple 'failure in raising my son' could resolve this matter, then what would we need the law for?"

Seeing Lu Shenwei being so aggressive, Jiang Yuan's face darkened. "May I ask your name?"

"You don't deserve to know his name. You just need to remember that with one word from him, none of your Jiang family's businesses in Dragon Xia will be able to continue," Wang Jiawei said, suppressing his anger.

That dog Jiang Yuan wasn't here to apologize at all; he was clearly here to back up his son.

If Lu Shenwei's influence were even slightly smaller, Jiang Yuan would probably have attacked him directly.

Last year, there were two small business owners from out of town who offended Jiang Yuan in some way, and by the next month, Jiang Yuan had ruined their families and destroyed their lives.

"General Manager Wang is right. Our Jiang family is small and can't afford to offend true deities. Please, you and this distinguished guest, just let us go like a fart."

Jiang Yuan hunched his body, looking as humble as could be.

Many guests entering and leaving the Bvlgari Hotel in the capital pointed and whispered, but Jiang Yuan didn't care at all.

"Isn't that the General Manager of Jiangyuan Logistics? What is he doing?"

"The person next to him should be Wang Jiawei from Nifeng Express, right? They all look quite serious."

"What's going on? The dignified General Manager of Jiangyuan Logistics is apologizing to that young man?"

"Are you kidding? This is the capital, and Jiangyuan Logistics is a local tyrant here."

"Nothing is impossible. Don't look at how low General Manager Jiang is acting; he has plenty of dirty tricks up his sleeve."

Jiang Yuan admitted defeat this time because he kicked an iron plate, but as soon as he recovered and figured out who the distinguished guest Wang Jiawei was talking about, Jiang Yuan had ten thousand ways to deal with him.

"Since Boss Jiang has lowered himself so much, it's hard for me to pursue this further. I hope you will keep your son in check, don't let him commit evil deeds, and certainly don't harass my friends," Lu Shenwei said casually.

Jiang Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly pulled his son and wife over to thank Lu Shenwei for his mercy.

"Distinguished guest and General Manager Wang, rest assured, I will definitely keep my son in check. It's late today, so why don't I host a dinner to apologize to the three of you?" Jiang Yuan played his card to turn enemies into friends.

Lu Shenwei remained silent. Seeing this, Wang Jiawei said, "Forget about dinner. Since Director Lu has said he won't pursue this further, you should leave quickly."

The three members of the Jiang family left, thanking them profusely. Wang Jiawei muttered, "Are we just letting them go like this?"

"What else? I can't exactly make them kowtow three times before they leave, can I?"

Lu Shenwei said this casually and went back to his room to rest, but Wang Jiawei took it seriously.

Jiangyuan Logistics had been flirting with Crazy Rabbit Express behind his back, showing absolutely no regard for him, the second-largest player in the industry.

He had long wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Jiang Yuan, and now it was perfect. Jiang Yuan's stupid son had been blind enough to insult Lu Shenwei—the Jiang family wouldn't die, but they would certainly lose a layer of skin!

"Assistant Chen, tell a few bosses in the industry that Jiangyuan Logistics has offended a partner enterprise of the sea, land, and air forces, and that we, Nifeng Express, are suspending our cooperation with Jiangyuan Logistics," Wang Jiawei said.

Business warfare is all about reading the wind and steering the rudder. This time, with Nifeng Express taking the lead and borrowing the influence of Julong Steel, he didn't believe they couldn't destroy the small-time Jiang Yuan.

Assistant Chen nodded hurriedly. "President, do you want me to buy some trending topics?"

"No need for that much trouble. Just release a notice on the Group's official website suspending all cooperation with Jiangyuan Logistics, and let the media guess the rest," Wang Jiawei said with a chuckle.

Jiang Yuan had acted overbearingly in recent years, and many big shots in the industry couldn't stand him. This was the perfect time to settle both old and new scores.
