Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Parents Show Their Authority
They both arrived at the Gu Family Villa calmly, but over at the old Sheng Family residence, things were turned upside down.
Secretary Cai begged the eldest madam not to call the police.
The eldest madam was furious: "Whose side are you on exactly? This time, my son has suffered such a serious incident, beaten like this, and you want me not to call the police?"
"Young master only suffered minor injuries. Even if you call the police, it might just be coordinated and handled without counting as a crime." Secretary Cai said, "Besides, the young master was the one who started the insults."
The eldest madam suddenly struck, slapping Secretary Cai hard: "Rubbish, this is the Sheng Family, not the Jiali Garden Company. Who are you to point fingers in our home! You’re just a dog of the old master, don’t bark at us!"
Secretary Cai touched his aching face, deciding he wouldn’t hold back any longer: "Eldest madam, this is the old master’s order. If you want to call the police, ask if the old master would agree!
Out there, you provoke anyone and anything without knowing the consequences! Call the police? Let me tell you, they can easily find an excuse to lock the young master up forever."
"You...." The second madam was also indignant, "What kind of talk is this? Why can’t Sheng Tang be offended, it’s the old master who favors her."
"Did young master get hit by Sheng Tang?" Secretary Cai asked coldly, "Let me be frank, the police might not come; someone is already handling this matter."
The room was slightly stunned.
They were wealthy ladies, not housewives, and could understand Secretary Cai’s implication.
Moreover, the second madam sneaked a glance at the time, forty minutes had already passed, no matter how busy the police force was, they should have arrived by now.
But, why haven’t they come?
The second madam looked at her phone again.
It had been 43 minutes since the call was made.
The old Sheng Family residence was in the central area of the old district. Although S City was a metropolis with millions of people, the police still shouldn’t be this slow, right?
She felt inexplicably nervous.
Secretary Cai’s face still bore the clear marks of five fingers, and he no longer showed politeness, telling the servant to tend to the young master’s wounds.
The young master’s face, covered in whip marks, had only two places where the skin was broken and bleeding; a bit of iodine would suffice, there was no need for a major treatment.
Sheng Zhang naturally disagreed, shouting at the top of his voice: "We have to wait for the police to come!"
The house was in chaos when the old master returned.
He was followed by two burly bodyguards, walking slowly into the living room with a cane in his hand.
He glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Sheng Zhang’s face, his expression slightly stern, then he spotted Secretary Cai.
His voice was low and cold: "Who hit Secretary Cai?"
The eldest madam’s body shrank slightly.
The second madam and Sheng Rong remained silent, and Sheng Zhang, also afraid of his grandfather, shrank back as well.
"I’ve said it before, Secretary Cai acts on my behalf; his words are my words. What, my words don’t hold anymore? Do you even want to hit my face too?" The old master’s cane heavily tapped on the floor.
The floor seemed to be about to be dented by his cane.
The house fell silent.
No one dared to speak up.
"Who hit Secretary Cai?" he asked again.
The eldest madam had no choice but to step forward: "Dad, I was just...."
"Alright, very well!" The old master interrupted her, every word accompanied by a tap of his cane on the floor, like it was knocking on everyone’s skulls.
No one dared to breathe heavily.
"How did your son curse his cousin? You were there and didn’t stop him, instead allowing him to spew filth, failing as a mother.
Secretary Cai has always acted according to protocol, but you still dared to hit him, do you even respect me? Since you don’t regard this old man at all, all of you can move out!" The old master said harshly.
The eldest madam felt anxious.
Move out?
Where to?
