Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 84 - 83: The Extent of Being Screwed Over!
Chapter 84: Chapter 83: The Extent of Being Screwed Over!
Facing Cheng Du’s flattery, Ye Chuxue was not appreciative at all.
"No need, thank you!"
Cheng Du mistook Ye Chuxue’s response for politeness and continued to pester her.
"Chuxue, you don’t need to be so polite. If you wish, not to mention diamonds, even if it’s the stars in the sky, I can help you pick them!"
Li Chen saw Cheng Du, this kid, daring to undermine him right in front of his face, and his anger flared.
"Heh, you’re going to pick stars from the sky? You’re so awesome, why don’t you go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? Why not dive into the sea and kiss the old turtle?"
Cheng Du looked up at Li Chen and said, "Li Chen, I just wanted to buy a gift for Ye Chuxue, can I interpret your sarcastic behavior as jealousy?"
"Me, jealous, of you?"
Li Chen pointed exaggeratedly first at himself, then at Cheng Du.
"Cheng Du, why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself, what virtues do you have that I should be jealous of, is it because of that pig kidney face of yours?"
Cheng Du, rendered speechless by Li Chen’s retort, turned red-faced and thick-necked.
"I, I, I... just because my dad is the head of the education bureau, just because my family can afford a villa, just because I can afford a diamond for Chuxue, can you?"
Li Chen stared at Cheng Du’s expression for a long while, then casually pulled out the English textbook that Ye Chuxue had placed on the desk.
Cheng Du, thinking Li Chen was about to get physical, was so frightened that he instinctively backed away, nearly stumbling and falling to the ground.
Li Chen smiled coldly and said, "Don’t be so nervous, I’m not going to hit you!"
Cheng Du, with trembling lips, nervously asked, "Then what are you doing with the English textbook?"
Li Chen rolled the English textbook into a megaphone shape, and said earnestly, "Student Cheng Du, I now want to properly interview you."
"If I remember correctly, a bureau level official’s monthly salary is 7,000 yuan. Even if both your parents are bureau level officials, that’s only 14,000 a month. I really want to know, with just a monthly salary of 14,000, how can your family afford a luxury villa, and how can you afford a diamond worth nearly a million?"
"I, I, I..."
Cheng Du, knowing he misspoke, blushed and stammered for a long time without completing a sentence.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Confess honestly, are your parents using their positions to commit corruption and bribery?" frёeωebɳovel.com
"No, no, no, my parents are both incorruptible civil servants, how could they possibly engage in corruption and bribery?" Cheng Du denied vehemently with flushed face and ears.
Li Chen pressed on, "If there’s none, then where did your family’s villa come from? Was it blown over by the wind, or did it fall from the sky?"
"I, I, I..."
"What about you, you, you, displaying wealth plundered from the people, do you still have the nerve to show it off? Tell me, do you really believe in justice?"
"I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
Having said that, Li Chen pulled out his phone and dialed Liann Ruifeng’s number.
"Mr. Liann, connect me to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I want to whistleblow in my real name: Director Cheng of the Education Bureau is using his position for corruption and bribery, buying luxury villas. Let the relevant departments take a good look and eliminate these parasites of the nation, giving Huaxia a clear sunny sky!"
...
Hearing Li Chen’s whistleblowing phone call, Cheng Du was so frightened that he lost his balance and directly collapsed on the ground.
If it were just an ordinary person’s report, it might not matter, but could Li Chen, who could make Political Commissioner Zhao kneel and apologize, be an ordinary person?
Damn it, who did he have to provoke, of all people why provoke this calamity?
At this moment, Cheng Du was utterly regretful.
If the Anti-Corruption Bureau steps in for investigation, his parents are definitely going down, just being dismissed would be letting them off easy - they might even end up in jail.
By then, wouldn’t his identity as a ’second generation official’ be dead in name?
The more Cheng Du thought about it, the more anxious he felt, as if he had just been diagnosed with AIDS at the hospital, his expression like he was mourning.
Li Chen raised his eyebrows and sneered triumphantly: "Hmph, dared to act all high and mighty in front of me, now you’ve turned into a fool, huh?"
...
After school at noon, Ye Chuxue suggested going for hotpot.
Li Chen, having nothing better to do, followed the two girls.
Ye Chuxue, a beauty emerging like a lotus from water, pure and ethereal!
Ning Qian’er, like an orchid in a secluded valley, graceful and elegant!
Both of them were top-notch beauties; their presence turned heads 300 percent of the time as they walked.
Li Chen, walking between the two, aroused the envy of countless boys.
Upon reaching Hotpot City, Li Chen chose a seat by the window.
Ye Chuxue sat next to him, and Ning Qian’er sat opposite him.
Just then, a male student dressed in Armani swaggered over with a wide-legged walk.
His name was Sunx Zishun, another student at City No.1 High School, albeit a grade above Li Chen and Ye Chuxue.
Ever since last summer when he first saw Ye Chuxue, he fell hard for her stunning beauty and began to pursue her aggressively.
However, Ye Chuxue was utterly indifferent to him; she didn’t even give him the time of day, let alone go out with him.
What he didn’t expect was to see his goddess, who he had been longing for, enjoying hotpot and laughing with some scruffy guy in cheap clothes.
Jealousy flared in Sunx Zishun’s heart, and he glared fiercely at Li Chen.
"Chuxue, so you like to eat hotpot here too. I’ve booked a luxurious private room upstairs, come and eat there with me!"
Ye Chuxue saw that it was again Sunx Zishun pestering her, her pretty face turned cold, shook her head and said, "No thanks, I like it here!"
Sunx Zishun, once again rejected, felt he was losing face.
Yet as a guy, it was inappropriate to lash out at Ye Chuxue. Immediately, he redirected his anger towards Li Chen.
Seeing Li Chen’s clothes, which in total weren’t worth more than a couple of hundred yuan, he felt a surge of superiority.
He then pulled out a stack of banknotes and slammed them on the table.
"Dude, vacate your seat, and all this money is yours!"
Li Chen glanced up at Sunx Zishun, wearing a look of superiority, ignored him, and called out to a waiter.
"Waiter, come here, please!"
Hearing Li Chen’s call, a waiter hurried over.
"Sir, what do you need?"
Li Chen said, "There’s a fly here, please help me drive it away!"
The waiter, confused, looked around and asked, "Sir, where’s the fly you mentioned?"
Li Chen pointed at Sunx Zishun and said, "Are you blind? Can’t you see such a big fly?"
