Chapter 207
Chapter 207 Tang Taishan’s Dignity Trampled
Among the crowd, the few girls from the Sun Family were already pale with fright. Some of the more cowardly ones even screamed and started to beg for mercy.
They saw very clearly what had happened to Tang’e and they didn’t want to be publicly hit so hard that their skin broke; that would be really humiliating.
From the Sun Family members quickly came mournful howls and the sound of slapping could be heard. Today, the Sun Family was completely humiliated. They would not be able to show their faces in public anymore.
“Sir, you’ve gone a little too far.” Just then, the silent Tang Taisan could not remain sitting. He stood up and with an embarrassed look, he told Chu Feng, “About this, it really was the fault of my daughter and the Sun Family.
But now, they’ve received their punishment, and your sister has had a chance to vent her anger. Since they’ve been beaten up, can we wrap this up?” Tang Taishan walked forward to face Chu Feng. He subconsciously bent forward, and with much difficulty, said softly, “We admit to this fault. Mr. Chu. Please, on account of my old age, could we cancel this debt?”
The guests at the venue were all stunned and their jaws dropped, as if they had seen a ghost.
Tang Taishan was actually begging Chu Feng!
One must know that this was the former Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei. His influence was everywhere and he was very well respected. Even the acting Mayor of Jiangling City had great respect for him. Tang Taishan was a formidable presence in Jiangbei; a simple word from him could bring about significant consequences.
However, despite being such a powerful figure, he had to humble himself and admit defeat to Chu Feng.
At the end of the day, this four-star General was powerful and terrifying. The crowd sighed emotionally. However, Chu Feng’s reaction the next second was even more shocking.
He shook his wrist and shot daggers at Tang Taishan. With a nonchalant attitude, he asked, “Give you face? Who are you to ask for that?”
Tang Taishan was speechless. The crowd was speechless too. D*mn, that was way too arrogant!
Even a ferocious dragon was no match for a snake in its old haunts; even Tang Taishan, who was a hero of Jiangbei, had thrown away his dignity to beg for forgiveness from Chu Feng, and yet Chu Feng still couldn’t be bothered to answer his request!
“Sir, you don’t have to be so arrogant and presumptuous.” Tang Taishan was deeply affected. His elderly face flushed red as he straightened his spine. “I am the retired Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei, and a court-appointed Second Ranked Statesman. In Jiangbei…”
“It’s good that you are aware that you are a retired officer,” Chu Feng interrupted him. His eyes were cold and domineering. “Since you are retired, sit at home quietly. There is no need to come out and boss people around, showing off.” He patted the Blue-Point sword hanging from his waist. “Otherwise, don’t blame me if I act first and ask questions later, and take your head as a trophy.”
Tang Taishan took a few steps back. He was so angry that he could barely breathe.
There was uproar and panic in the crowd.
Right then, Chu Feng was not just hitting Tang Taishan on the face anymore; he was practically stepping on Tang Taishan’s face and pushing him into a mud pit!
That was so arrogant and overbearing!
“As*hole! Such an as*hole!”
Right then, an old man who was around ninety years old stood up. He had a goatee and was wearing a traditional costume, holding a walking stick in his hand. With a trembling finger, he pointed at Chu Feng and said angrily, “You, as the country’s soldier, instead of protecting the country, you have used your power to terrorize civilians.
You’re really vicious! Mr. Tang’s hard work and dedication was for the country and her citizens. However, you angered him, this country’s vetaran and national hero. That is barbaric, arrogant, and domineering. How different are you from a common criminal? How different are you from the bullies?”
The old man quivered as he held the walking stick. With self-righteous pride, he said, “What right do you have to wear the uniform of a General? You don’t have the right to refer to yourself as a soldier!
How dare you stand among us and show off your prestige and abuse your power?! You are the shame of the military. You are the scum of society. You are not worthy to be human! You’re a beast, a bastard! You are even worse than farm livestock!”
