Chapter 302: Chapter 303 The Show Is About to Begin
“Uncle Dong, what do you mean by this?” Pang Linfei said with a sullen face. He didn’t believe that Dong Chengwen would dare to risk a fallout with him now, and he didn’t believe Dong Chengwen would disregard Pang Zhentian’s face.
“I better call your father. You can’t resolve this matter on your own; you should just pray for the best,” said Dong Chengwen as he took out his phone and dialed Pang Zhentian’s number.
“Pang Zhentian, your kid came to my place causing trouble. You should come and deal with it,” Dong Chengwen said.
Pang Zhentian heard this, smiled slightly, and said, “That brat, why did he go to your place looking for trouble? He really doesn’t care for the face of IDE. You just teach him a lesson for me. As his elder, he wouldn’t dare not to listen to you, would he?”
“Pang Zhentian, you probably don’t realize how serious this is. I suggest you come here in person,” Dong Chengwen said coldly.
Pang Zhentian frowned. In his view, even if Pang Linfei caused any trouble, it would at most be a minor issue. He knew his son had some sense of propriety, but Dong Chengwen being this serious… could there be more to this incident?
“Dong Chengwen, there’s no need to be this serious, is there? Are you trying to use this matter to trouble me? Do you really think it’s worth it?” Pang Zhentian said with disdain.
A smirk appeared at the corner of Dong Chengwen’s mouth. Pang Zhentian having such an attitude was within his expectations. Even if Pang Linfei smashed his Dongfu Hotel, Pang Zhentian likely wouldn’t care that much.
He might even reward Pang Linfei once he gets home. But this incident’s impact was different from the usual.
“Pang Zhentian, it took me a lot of effort to invite Brother Su over here a few days ago, but now your son is in conflict with Brother Su. I can’t get involved in this matter,” Dong Chengwen said.
“Brother Su? Which Brother Su?” On the other end of the line, Pang Zhentian instantly stood up, his face filled with panic.
“Who else could it be?” Dong Chengwen hung up after saying that.
For a moment, Pang Zhentian felt soulless, Brother Su, Su Changfeng!
Who else could it be if not Su Changfeng?
Pang Linfei, this fool, actually dared to provoke Su Changfeng!
Pang Zhentian felt his hands tremble involuntarily. He wasn’t clear who Su Changfeng was, but the influence this man had in Rong City was unmatched, not even by the Pang Family. Even the combined weight of the Pang Family and the Dong Family wouldn’t be enough to sway him.
“Quick, drive to Dongfu Hotel,” Pang Zhentian ordered the driver as he got into the car.
After ending the call, Dong Chengwen said to Pang Linfei, “Your father will probably be here soon; you better think about how to explain yourself.”
Pang Linfei’s face was twisted with rage. Once his father arrived, Dong Chengwen would surely give him an answer.
Zhou Qingxue, who had been in a daze, felt reassured upon hearing Dong Chengwen’s words; as long as Pang Zhentian showed up, everything would be sorted out.
Even if Su Changfeng was Dong Chengwen’s honored guest, Dong Chengwen wouldn’t fall out with Pang Zhentian over him.
The meeting between the two business leaders left the audience full of anticipation. They all wondered if these two giants of Rong City’s business scene could finally prove who was superior in this encounter.
Dong Chengwen walked up to Su Changfeng and said apologetically, “Brother Su, apologies for being late. I let everyone misunderstand you earlier.”
Su Changfeng’s eyes glimmered as he replied indifferently, “You really are late, or could it be you timed your arrival? Dong Chengwen, with a mind as keen as yours, how come you can’t step over Pang Zhentian?”
Dong Chengwen was surprised and quickly said, “I really got held up by something, hope Brother Su won’t misunderstand.”
Su Changfeng’s face bore a cold smile. From the moment Dong Chengwen called Pang Zhentian, Su Changfeng had already figured out what this guy was thinking and guessed he was fully aware of the situation but deliberately stayed away.
Dong Chengwen planned to use him against the Pang Family, which was indeed a smart move.
“Your idea is good, but using me as your tool is your one mistake!” Su Changfeng said coldly.
This statement shocked Dong Chengwen into a cold sweat, but things had come to this point, he could only grit his teeth and not give ground. Otherwise, the two giants of Rong City might just collapse.
Less than 10 minutes later, Pang Zhentian finally arrived, which meant the real drama was about to begin.
On the way, Pang Zhentian held onto a sliver of hope that the Brother Su mentioned by Dong Chengwen wasn’t Su Changfeng. Although he knew this was almost impossible, thinking otherwise would leave him only despair.
Though despair might come late, it would come inevitably.
When Pang Zhentian saw Su Changfeng, he suddenly felt all the strength drain from him.
“Dad, finally you’re here. Dong Chengwen’s guest hit me and even wanted me to take responsibility. You must avenge me,” Pang Linfei said.
Pang Zhentian looked at Su Changfeng with a face filled with dread, then adjusted his breathing and landed a punch on Pang Linfei’s face, rebuking, “You bastard! Do you want to ruin the Pang Family?”
Pang Linfei couldn’t comprehend why his father would punch him as soon as he arrived, as if it was his mistake.
Not only was Pang Linfei confused, but the people around were also baffled.
In Rong City, everyone knew Pang Zhentian was fiercely protective of his children; many had suffered under Pang Linfei, and regardless of right or wrong, Pang Zhentian would always protect him.
There was even an incident where Pang Linfei offended someone from the province, and Pang Zhentian spent a fortune settling things. Yet today Pang Zhentian’s attitude was completely different.
In others’ eyes, it seemed like the battle of the Heavenly Gods was unfolding because the conflict involved Rong City’s two giants. Neither the Dong Family nor the Pang Family were entities to be messed with.
Pang Zhentian’s punch to Pang Linfei was mostly likely a tactic to rebuke Pang Linfei first and then confront Dong Chengwen with even higher stature.
This tactic earned respect from those nearby, as it seemed like only someone like Pang Zhentian could come up with such a solution.
But when these people saw Pang Zhentian head towards Su Changfeng instead of Dong Chengwen, they were puzzled.
Was he planning to teach the young man a lesson before confronting Dong Chengwen?
“Pang Zhentian really is a crafty and adept person. What exactly is he thinking right now, I can’t figure out.”
“If you knew what he was thinking, you wouldn’t be in your current position.”
“Pang Zhentian managed to make the Pang Family so powerful for a reason. Watch closely; I too want to see what game he’s playing. Perhaps Dong Chengwen will end up apologizing to him today.”
