Chapter 299: So What If He’s the Governor’s Son, Hit Him All the Same!

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: So What If He’s the Governor’s Son, Hit Him All the Same!

Meng Tianran glared fiercely at Xu Qianli, wishing he could skin him alive with his piercing gaze.

"Kid, you probably didn’t know who I was before, did you?"

"Now that you know, are you scared, trembling in your legs?"

"You, a mere department-level cadre, dare to compete with me, the Governor’s Son, for a woman—you’re really asking for death!"

"If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me, and maybe I will spare you this time."

"Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude, I’ll give you a harsh beating to show you my capabilities!"

Meng Tianran menacingly warned Xu Qianli.

Upon learning Xu Qianli’s identity, he didn’t regard him as anything significant.

His father was the Governor, and normally, not just department-level cadres but even department-level hall-level cadres had to act humbly in front of him.

This guy in front of him was just a lowly department-level cadre, a tiny official, worth nothing in his eyes.

He thought he could easily handle him.

He didn’t believe this guy would dare to resist.

Facing Meng Tianran’s threats, Xu Qianli took out a cigarette, lit it, and after a few puffs, he gestured with a hooked finger.

"You there, come here, I have something to say to you."

Hearing this, Meng Tianran foolishly stepped forward, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Qianli said, "Stretch out your hand."

Stretch his hand?

Meng Tianran stupider still, actually stretched out his hand.

The next second, the burning cigarette in Xu Qianli’s hand was pressed right into his palm.

"My mother..."

With a scream, Meng Tianran quickly pulled back his hand and hopped on one foot in pain.

His friends quickly rushed forward, a swarm of them shouting as they intended to beat Xu Qianli.

Confronted by these fools, Xu Qianli snorted coldly, and his fierce gaze swept over them, frightening them so much that they didn’t dare step forward, barely even breathing heavily.

Damn, setting other things aside, this guy’s gaze was truly terrifying.

That kind of gaze, as if he had really killed someone!

They were all pampered young masters, usually relying on their status, bullying ordinary people was fine, but facing someone with a tyrannical and murderous look in his eyes, they weren’t a match at all and all cowered.

Meng Tianran finally caught his breath, ignoring the pain in his hand and roared at Xu Qianli.

"You have some nerve, knowing well my dad is the Governor and still daring to attack me, daring to burn me with a cigarette, you’re really seeking death!"

"Do you believe with just one phone call, I could make you disappear from the face of the earth?"

"Kid, if you don’t want to die, kneel down before me immediately."

Before he finished speaking, a fierce force suddenly came through Meng Tianran’s legs, as Xu Qianli kicked each of his legs, causing him to immediately kneel, thumping down at Xu Qianli’s feet.

The next second, the air in the Violet Dessert Shop seemed to solidify, everyone froze, including Ji Yunxi.

Considering Meng Tianran was the Governor’s Son, who in this province nearly strutted around unchecked, how many people dared to disrespect him?

Xu Qianli sure had some nerve, facing him today without giving any face. He striked twice, once burning his palm with a cigarette butt and once forcing him to kneel.

Such dominance, absolutely impressive!

Watching this unfold, Ji Yunxi’s heart started racing inexplicably.

After more than a decade, Big Black Bull, who always used to play and protect her, was truly remarkable.

Meng Tianran had finally come to his senses, glaring at Xu Qianli in fury, "How dare you make me kneel? You’ve got some nerve, I will kill you."

Bang! Mid-sentence, Meng Tianran was kicked in the stomach by Xu Qianli, sending him tumbling backwards.

Having dealt with Meng Tianran, Xu Qianli lit another cigarette and, with flair, blew a smoke ring before speaking coldly.

"Just now was a mere lesson for you. You better not mess with me in the future, or else I won’t let you off lightly!"

"Of course, you can continue to underestimate me, continue to provoke and threaten me, but I hope you won’t regret it."

"Remember this well, my name is Xu Qianli. I never provoke anyone without reason, but if anyone dares to mess with me, look for trouble, or try to harm me, I will not be courteous!"

"Don’t think that just because you are the Governor’s Son, you can act recklessly around me. If you dare to trouble me, it doesn’t matter if you are the Governor’s Son or even the Emperor, I will deal with you just the same!"

Xu Qianli said this coldly, his aura extremely sharp and dominant, his words seemed to carry a chill, making Meng Tianran tremble all over.

Wanting to say something, he found himself tongue-tied and utterly speechless.

Now, he couldn’t even manage to talk tough.

Knowing Xu Qianli was not to be trifled with and that provoking him under current circumstances would only end badly, Meng Tianran struggled to his feet, gave him a deep look, and then turned and fled at full speed.

Seeing this, a few of his fair-weather friends hurriedly followed, all of them running out together.

"Meng, are you really going to let that guy off just like that?"

"Not only did he steal Miss Ji, but he dared to burn you with a cigarette and kick you. We can’t let such a guy off easily, we need to deal with him harshly, really teach him a lesson!"

"Meng, who are you? You are the top heir of this province, and yet someone dared to treat you like this today. We absolutely cannot let that guy off, we must make his life miserable."

His fair-weather friends were all talking at once, clamoring for Meng Tianran to deal with Xu Qianli, to not let him get away with it.

"Shut the hell up!"

With a roar, Meng Tianran quieted his comrades and hurriedly pulled out his phone to make a call to find out more about Xu Qianli.

Soon enough, detailed information about Xu Qianli was sent to Meng Tianran’s phone, and he started reading it carefully.

Little did he know, just one look was enough to shock him.

Turns out, that guy was the notorious one who had topped Zhongzhou City’s major figure Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was pretty formidable, but in Meng Tianran’s eyes, he wasn’t much.

Yet Xu Qianli, a mere Department-level cadre, managed to topple Lu Chen. How could he have such means and audacity?

What shocked Meng Tianran even more was that Xu Qianli was actually brought to the city by Provincial Party Secretary Ji Qingyun, who first went to the Provincial Committee and then was seen holding hands with Ji Yunxi as they exited.

Others might not understand the temperament of their province’s most powerful man, Ji Qingyun, but Meng Tianran knew him well. That old guy was overly protective, never allowing any man near his precious daughter.

Yet there was Xu Qianli, blatantly holding Ji Yunxi’s hand right under Ji Qingyun’s watch at the Provincial Committee. What did that imply?

It clearly indicated Ji Qingyun’s approval of Xu Qianli, in other words, he had tacitly consented to Xu’s relationship with Ji Yunxi.

Damn, what on earth did Xu Qianli have, to earn such favor from Ji Qingyun and be allowed to develop a relationship with Ji Yunxi?

Amidst his shock and confusion, Meng Tianran was even more outraged. He remembered all too well the humiliation of being burned with a cigarette, kneeling before Xu Qianli, and being kicked in the stomach, he was certain Xu Qianli had no backing, and immediately made a phone call.

"Hey, Tiger, bring some guys to the Violet Dessert Shop on East Lake Street, help me deal with someone!"
