Chapter 109: Chapter 0109: Ma Family Young Master Ma Benyue

Half an hour later, Ma Gangqiang drove to the hospital and as soon as he entered the ward, he asked, "Brother, why did you rush me to the hospital?"

"Hmph, your good deeds."

Sitting up in his hospital bed, Ma Gangjian inquired, "Who let you decide to compensate the residents affected by the redevelopment? And you even paid out ten million, you’re quite generous. If word of this gets out, who in the shantytown would be willing to move?"

"Brother, hear me out. Tang Ming was there at the time, and you know how ruthless that kid can be. If I hadn’t agreed, he definitely would have beaten me severely, and then I wouldn’t have driven here myself, but would have been brought in an ambulance!"

Ma Gangqiang hurriedly explained.

"Alright, Dad is about to come over, and I’ll see how you explain this. Besides, it’s fortunate it was a check; I’ve already notified the bank to cancel it."

Ma Gangjian said with a cold laugh, feeling immensely proud as he thought of how he’d also tricked Tang Ming.

"Ah? Dad is coming..."

Ma Gangqiang was very afraid. Unlike Ma Gangjian, he was neither good at martial arts cultivation nor at studying.

An hour before, in an elegant study within the Ma Family mansion, a middle-aged man was reading a newspaper. Even though tablet computers had become widespread, with almost every wealthy family owning one, for someone of his age, holding a newspaper felt more comforting.

A cup of strong tea yielded wafts of steam and fragrant aromas from the desk, where the middle-aged man, after reading for a while, picked up the cup and took a sip. Normally, managing family affairs and juggling cultivation did not leave him much leisure, only during spare moments could he enjoy tea and the news.

But his brief respite did not last long before there was a knock on the study door.

The middle-aged man’s face turned unpleasant as he frowned and called out to the other side, "Haven’t I told you not to interrupt my rest?"

"Master, the police have arrived at the house, they say they are looking for Young Master Gangjian," said the butler cautiously from outside, his voice filled with fear because the temper of this head of the Ma Family was notoriously bad; one could easily be beaten to death if not careful.

"Oh? I haven’t seen those two boys until now. Where have they gone?" the middle-aged man asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Master, Young Master Gangjian and Young Master Gangqiang haven’t been staying at home recently," the butler hurriedly reported.

"Alright, tell the police to wait, I’ll be out shortly."

Upon finishing, the middle-aged man directly picked up the landline to call someone he knew well in the industry.

"Hello, Director Chen, this is Ma Benyue." The middle-aged man was the young master of the Ma Family, and also the father of Ma Gangjian and Ma Gangqiang — Ma Benyue.

"Oh, Brother Benyue, what do you need?"

The person on the other side, Director Chen, replied; he was the in-house lawyer for the Ma Family’s company and the head of a law firm.

"Ah, today, just when I finally got a chance to rest, the police came to my house, saying they wanted to investigate my son. Do you know anything about this, Director Chen?" Ma Benyue spoke with a chuckle.

"I’m not clear about this matter, Brother Benyue. Allow me to inquire about it and call you back," said Director Chen.

"That would be great, thank you, Director Chen."

Ma Benyue hung up and got to his feet to walk out.

In the living room of the mansion, two uniformed police officers were sipping tea, accompanied by the butler. Their visit was also a fact-finding mission; considering the Ma Family’s status in Songlan City, no one in the police force would dare to come directly to the Ma residence to make an arrest, unless it was ordered by the chief of police.

Ma Benyue came down from upstairs and greeted the two police officers with a smile, "I’m not sure why the two of you have graced us with your presence today?"

With the person in question appearing, the two police officers also promptly stood up. One of them, an older policeman with grey hair in his fifties, smiled and said,

"Actually, it’s nothing serious. We’ve just received a case from Tianjiao High School recently, involving a firearm, and the people concerned are Ma Gangqiang and Ma Gangjian."

"Oh."

Ma Benyue nodded his head, no wonder he hadn’t seen the two brothers for several days. He thought they had gone out to play and hadn’t returned home, but it turned out they had stirred up trouble.

However, Ma Benyue wasn’t the least bit concerned about such a minor case, not to mention a firearms issue; even a murder case would not be a big deal.

At that moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a call from Director Chen. Ma Benyue quickly walked aside to answer it, "Director Chen, have you found anything?"

"It has been cleared up now. It seems it started with a fight at Tianjiao High School with a student, and your eldest son brought a gun. Thankfully, no one was hurt and not many people saw it happen. The gun was broken in two right there and then."

Director Chen explained.

"Oh."

Ma Benyue’s face twitched. He knew very well what his sons were capable of, but to bring a gun to deal with a high school student was outrageous. What on earth was going on?

"Brother Benyue, this little issue isn’t much trouble. Just send the two police officers from your family away, and since the Ma Family owns a security company, just get a firearm license for him, and the matter will be resolved."

Director Chen suggested a solution.

"All right, I’ll thank you another day."

Ma Benyue said with a smile and then hung up the phone. He walked over to the two policemen and said, "My son isn’t home right now, which makes it inconvenient for him to answer your questions. You can look for him another day when he’s back to understand the situation."

"Oh, in that case, we will leave for now."

The older policeman nodded his head and stood up, and the one beside him followed suit. Then the two of them walked out of the Ma family villa.

Actually, they hadn’t wanted to come in the first place. Now that they had an excuse, the two policemen could go back to report their findings.

After the police had left, Ma Benyue’s expression changed as he commanded the butler, "Call and find out where those two rascals are!"

"Yes!" The butler immediately dialed Ma Gangjian’s number, exchanged a few words with his expression changing suddenly, and then reported to Ma Benyue, "Master, Young Master Gangjian said he’s been hospitalized after getting beaten up!"

"What?!"

Ma Benyue was momentarily stunned. Ma Gangjian was a formidable martial artist, and to hear he was hospitalized after a beating was unexpected. No wonder there was a need for a gun before. He immediately frowned and asked,

"Did he mention what happened?"

"No, he was evasive, and I didn’t dare to inquire further."

The butler said worriedly, "Master, if Young Master Gangjian is taken to the station for the firearms case, it might affect the recovery from his injuries..."

"Just go directly to Director Chen at the law firm. He will tell you what to do!"

Ma Benyue instructed, "Doesn’t our Ma Family own a security company? Register Gangjian and the others there and get them firearm licenses, and the issue will be settled!"

"Master, I understand."

The butler nodded, but did not leave immediately, respectfully awaiting further orders from Ma Benyue.

After pacing around the living room a couple of times, Ma Benyue said, "Which hospital is Gangjian in? I’m going to see him."
