Chapter 134 The 134th Day of Not Running Away The First Day of Not Running Away...
Just as Chen Bo was about to speak with Hua Lingfeng, Lin Ting and the other saleswomen suddenly rushed in from outside, all of them panting.
Seeing them panting, Hua Lingfeng found it amusing. He propped his elbows on the table and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did a large group of customers come to buy a house, making you all so excited?"
Lin Ting coughed a few times, caught her breath, glared at Hua Lingfeng, and said to Chen Bozheng, "President Chen, something's happened. Boss Hu from next door has brought his men to cause us trouble."
"Hu Cheng?"
Chen Bozheng paused for a moment, put down his pen, and stood up. "Didn't he go to Hainan?"
Just as he was about to go out empty-handed, he heard a whooshing sound outside, along with the crisp sound of steel bars hitting sheet metal.
Hua Lingfeng quickly grabbed Chen Bozheng and looked out the window. Hu Cheng was standing outside with a group of people who looked like bad guys. They were all holding knives and sticks and looked menacing.
Hu Cheng seemed to notice the commotion inside the sales office and immediately shouted, "Chen Bozheng, get out here right now!"
Hua Lingfeng turned to Chen Bozheng and said, "Brother Zheng, there are quite a few of them, and they've brought weapons. Is this guy crazy? Does he want to kill someone?"
Chen Bo thought for a moment, walked behind his desk, opened a drawer, took out a Black Star pistol and tucked it under his belt. He then pulled up his clothes and said to Hua Lingfeng, "Call the police. I'll go out and deal with them and see what's going on."
Hua Lingfeng stared wide-eyed at the black star on Chen Bo's waist, "You...you..."
Chen Bo chuckled and patted his waist: "Don't worry, it's a high-quality fake, not the real thing, but it can still be used to hit people, it's just for deterrence."
Hua Lingfeng knew that Chen Bozheng was always prudent in his actions, so he nodded and told a few salesmen to follow him out.
Chen Bozheng did not refuse, and Lin Ting and the others hurriedly said, "President Chen, we will go out with you."
Hua Lingfeng was about to call the police when he heard this and was both amused and exasperated: "Lin Ting, you girls shouldn't be fooling around. Those guys outside might actually dare to lay a hand on you. If any of you are disfigured, who among us can take responsibility for that?"
"What are you afraid of!" Lin Ting mustered her courage and said, "If they really dare to make a move, we iron ladies aren't pushovers either. We have pepper spray!"
The group quickly went to their handbags to get out some chili water.
Chen Bozheng had just thought the situation was a bit troublesome, but when he saw that they were all holding pepper spray and looking like they were going to protect him, he couldn't help but laugh.
A new young woman was trembling, her legs shaking, and she tried to comfort Chen Bozheng: "Mr. Chen, don't be afraid. There are so many of us here, we can definitely protect you."
Chen Bozheng chuckled and nodded.
Outside, Hu Cheng had already called Chen Bozheng's name several times. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw Chen Bozheng come out and immediately turned red in the eyes. He pointed the steel pipe in his hand at Chen Bozheng and said, "You little brat, you finally dare to come out!"
Facing the steel pipe pointing at his nose, Chen Bo remained calm and said, "Boss Hu, what wind blew you all the way from Hainan to here?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because as soon as he did, Hu Cheng's expression almost twisted. "Isn't this all your doing? Those two swindlers cheated me out of three million and ran away!"
fraud?
Chen Bozheng's mind raced for a moment, and he understood what was going on. He smirked and said, "What do you mean by that? We don't know you at all. As for you being scammed, you should go to the police station to report it."
"Fuck your grandpa, you're still playing dumb with me. Aren't those Chen Shuangping and his grandson your relatives? They took all my savings and disappeared. Call the police? What the hell is the use of calling the police? They've vanished without a trace."
Hu Cheng's voice was shrill, and he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Veins bulged on his forehead, and saliva flew everywhere, almost spraying onto Chen Bozheng's face.
Chen Bo frowned, pushed away the steel pipe, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his face, and slowly raised his eyelids. "Then why are you telling me all this? Who lied to you? Go find them. Who said Chen Shuangping is my relative!"
"They've been coming and going with you for so many days, if they're not your relatives, then who are they?!"
Hu Cheng was furious.
Chen Bo twitched his lips, revealing a helpless smile. "So many people here come and go with me every day. Are they all my relatives? And you, President Hu, have seen me quite a few times. Are you my relative too?"
"Exactly, aren't you wronging someone?"
After Hua Lingfeng finished making the call to the police, he came out and stood next to Chen Bozheng, retorting to Hu Cheng.
Hu Cheng was so angry he was about to explode. "You, you, anyway, your relative cheated me out of money, and you have to pay it back for him, or you won't be leaving this construction site alive today."
Chen Bo's eyes darkened, and the atmosphere around him became dangerous. "Are you threatening me or blackmailing me?"
Hu Cheng sneered, unbuttoned his shirt, and panted heavily.
A few months ago, he was in pretty good shape. After enjoying a few months of eating, drinking and having fun, he not only gained a lot of weight, but his health has also deteriorated. He was even severely affected by the incident in Hainan, and half of his hair turned white.
"So what if I threaten you? So what if I extort you? Three million, no, including the expenses I incurred in Hainan, you have to compensate me for it all!"
Chen Bo frowned and took a step back.
He said to the police officers who rushed over behind him, "Officers, you all heard it. He himself admitted to extorting money from me!"
Hu Cheng was startled and turned to look.
Several plainclothes police officers were already running towards them.
The thugs Hu Cheng brought, armed with weapons, immediately chickened out and tried to scatter.
But the lead policeman fired a shot into the air, yelling, "Drop your weapons! Don't run! Don't move!"
The farce ended with Hu Cheng and about ten others being taken away by the police, and Chen Bozheng also went to give a statement.
When I left the police station, Liang Wenxuan and others came to pick me up.
Liang Wenxuan asked with concern, "What did that grandson do this time? Didn't he say he went to Hainan? Why is he back?"
Before Chen Bozheng could speak, Hua Lingfeng stepped in to answer, saying, "Brother Liang, Hu Cheng is probably doomed this time."
Liang Wenxuan was smoking a cigarette, but hadn't lit it yet. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Hua Lingfeng looked at Chen Bozheng, who said, "He thought Chen Shuangping was my relative. He heard from Chen Shuangping that there was a chance to make money, so he went to Hainan with him. Who knew that people would trick him into thinking that as long as he paid three million in cash, he could get a piece of land worth twenty million. He got carried away and agreed. As soon as he gave them the money, Chen Shuangping and the others disappeared."
Liang Wenxuan dropped the cigarette from his mouth and stared blankly at Chen Bozheng. "This...this is true? Then Chen Shuangping isn't your relative?"
Hua Lingfeng chuckled: "Brother Liang, Brother Chen has never admitted that Chen Shuangping is his relative."
Chen Bo nodded: "I'd felt from the beginning that this grandfather and grandson were too enthusiastic and too strange, but I had no evidence and couldn't deny it, afraid people would say I was heartless. They approached me asking for investment, and I refused. But I didn't expect Hu Cheng to contact them on his own initiative, and then—"
Chen Bozheng stopped there and didn't continue.
But the unspoken meaning was understood by everyone.
Liang Wenxuan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. "If that's the case, then Hu Cheng deserves it. He didn't know anyone, he was just greedy and walked right into the trap. He deserved it, he deserved it. That bastard should have been punished long ago!"
Chen Bozheng said, "This matter is not that simple."
Liang Wenxuan exclaimed "Ah!"
Chen Bo looked around at the crowd of people coming and going, and gave him a look, "Find a stall to eat and talk."
Liang Wenxuan slapped his forehead. "My brain! You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, there's a lamb restaurant nearby that makes really authentic lamb. Consider this a meal to calm your nerves. Damn it, that bastard Hu Cheng brought over a dozen people to our construction site. What's he up to? Is he going to start a fight?!"
The mutton restaurant is not far away.
Chen Bozheng and his group arrived in about seven or eight minutes, ordered a pot of mutton soup, and also ordered about ten sesame seed cakes.
Chen Bozheng and the others hadn't noticed while they were giving their statements at the police station, but now they realized they were hungry when they smelled the aroma of meat.
After hurriedly finishing a bowl of mutton, Chen Bozheng said to Liang Wenxuan, "There might be some trouble at Jingyang Residential Area."
Liang Wenxuan, holding the bowl and slurping the soup, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes. "That grandson is broke?!"
Chen Bozheng laughed and said, "If he had money, would he dare to bring more than a dozen people to open a business? He wouldn't do something so brainless unless he was desperate."
Chen Bozheng knew Hu Cheng quite well.
This person is greedy and cowardly. Most of his previous actions were provocative, but he wouldn't dare to confront someone head-on.
The fact that someone would personally bring people to cause trouble for him actually means that he is truly out of ammunition and food and has nowhere else to turn.
"Well, karma, it really is karma!"
Liang Wenxuan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and clapped his hands in admiration: "That grandson of his, when he was like Chen Shimei, dumping my sister, he never thought he'd end up like this, did he?"
Hua Lingfeng interjected, "Brother Liang, Sister Sun is really lucky she got divorced early and even got a lot of money. If she had dragged it out until now, let alone money, it's uncertain whether that bastard Hu Cheng would even be willing to get a divorce. But, didn't he hook up with a rich woman? Maybe that rich woman would be willing to give him money."
Chen Bozheng said, "Xiao Hua, you didn't listen carefully at the station, did you? Hu Cheng said that he borrowed 500,000 yuan of that 3 million from the rich woman. Think about it, 3 million is gone, the residential complex isn't even finished, and the cash flow has dried up. Is that rich woman willing to continue to pay Hu Cheng to cover his losses, or is she willing to cut her losses and cause trouble for Hu Cheng to make him return the money?!"
Hua Lingfeng's eyes darted around, and he slapped his thigh, "So, this bastard's definitely dead this time?!"
Chen Bozheng smiled and said, "Unless a comet hits the Earth, he's completely doomed this time. There were even reporters taking pictures at the police station just now. I reckon this will be on the news tomorrow: Hu Cheng, the boss of Jingyang Community, was swindled out of three million. Tell me, if this makes the newspapers, will those who bought his houses be happy? You don't have money to build houses, but we've already given you our money!"
