Chapter 358: Chapter 348: You Must Accept Punishment

Long Chen’s call was to no one else but the incumbent City Lord of Qianzhou City.

When the City Lord received Long Chen’s call, he thought another big issue had arisen, and for a moment, his heart raced with dread.

Because should too many upheavals occur in Qianzhou during his tenure, it would greatly affect him.

This was not something the City Lord wanted to see.

"Mr. Long, it’s late, has something happened again?"

The City Lord asked cautiously.

"It’s nothing serious, I’ve encountered an injustice, some people are maliciously withholding the wages of migrant workers, could the City Lord summon the relevant department to handle this? I’m not suitable to resolve this kind of issue myself," Long Chen said.

"Of course that’s possible, Mr. Long, please report your location, and I’ll arrange for someone to come over and handle it immediately,"

said the City Lord.

"Alright."

After speaking, Long Chen hung up the phone.

The bald boss laughed though, "Ha ha, kid, you’re really something, calling the City Lord? Tsk tsk, isn’t that a bit too grandiose? I might believe you if you called some minor official, but you, calling the City Lord? Ha ha, that’s hilarious."

"Wait and see."

Long Chen was not in the mood for more words.

"Then I shall wait and see just how capable you are."

The bald boss sneered.

"Big brother, if there’s something you want, just say it directly, is it money you want? If you want three or five thousand, just say the word, don’t waste everyone’s time."

The bald boss’s woman stared at Long Chen and spoke earnestly, "I don’t believe in this world that there’s really anyone who helps others unconditionally and tackles thankless tasks. Come on, let’s talk it over."

"I actually do enjoy tackling these thankless tasks."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"You’re simply stubborn to the core," the woman shrieked, "If you keep on being so unreasonable, sooner or later, you’re going to take a big fall, mark my words."

"Then if you clear the hard-earned wages owed to them right now, I’ll let you go," Long Chen said.

"You’re dreaming," the bald boss said, "You’ve assaulted me, and I’ve suffered a severe shock both physically and mentally. Without settling things with me, they won’t get a penny, my word."

"I hope you can still be so tough in a while."

Long Chen smiled, not in a hurry at all.

The worker, however, started to panic inside.

He felt that things were getting out of hand.

"Young brother, maybe we should..."

The worker started to say something quietly but then stopped.

"We’ve reached this point, whatever the result, we must stay the course. Big brother, don’t worry, I said I would help you sort this out, so I definitely will," Long Chen said with a smile.

The worker brother sighed and said with a wry smile, "Alright then, young brother, I’ll listen to you."

"That’s the spirit."

Long Chen patted the worker brother’s shoulder.

About twenty minutes passed, and the bald boss was already getting impatient, "Kid, you’ve wasted so much of my time, my workers have all stopped to watch, and for the lost work, I want you to bear all the costs. Just you wait."

"They’re here."

Long Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

At the same time, everyone also heard the sound of sirens.

Two minutes later, a fleet of cars from the relevant department arrived at the scene, a dozen vehicles in a row.

Moreover, from the first two cars, more than a dozen real gun-toting Government Office agents stepped out, scaring the bald boss and his moll to the point that their legs went weak.

"Hisss, they really came."

Mu Sisi was shocked as she looked at Long Chen.

This meant that the call Long Chen had made earlier was truly to the City Lord.

"Which one of you is Mr. Long Chen?"

A tall man, suited and booted, took hurried strides and jogged over.

"That’s me."

Long Chen waved his hand.

The man saw Long Chen, quickly ran over, bowed, and then said with a serious tone, "Hello, Mr. Long. I’m Zhou Tong, the head of Qianzhou’s labor department."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, sorry for the trouble of coming down here," Long Chen said.

"Not at all, not at all. Mr. Long, may I ask who is withholding the wages?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Him," Long Chen pointed at the bald boss.

The bald boss was startled and hurriedly said, "I’ll pay right away, I really will, I’m sorry."

Frightened out of his wits, where would he dare to be defiant now?

After all, there were a bunch of heavily armed tough guys, and the head of the labor department had personally arrived; to continue mouthing off would lead to a dead end.

"Mr. Zhou, I suspect this baldy has been involved in unscrupulous dealings with many people. I suggest taking him in for a thorough investigation, possibly in collaboration with other departments, and of course, don’t forget to settle the workers’ wages during the investigation and ensure their work is properly arranged. Can you manage that?" Long Chen inquired.

Zhou Tong nodded eagerly: "We can manage, we can manage! Rest assured."

"Good, then take him away, and thank you for your trouble."

Long Chen smiled.

"Alright."

Zhou Tong gave the order to apprehend the bald boss.

Frightened, the bald boss fell to his knees with a thud, begging Long Chen to let him go.

But Long Chen was unmoved, expressionless: "You have to pay the price for what you’ve done; if you think by simply paying the workers off when people arrive everything will be fine, then you are too naive. Let me be clear, you have to face the consequences, or it goes against all justice."

"I really know I was wrong, big brother, I..."

"Shut up," Long Chen interrupted him.

And Zhou Tong’s men quickly took control of the situation.

Zhou Tong also assured the present workers, "Brothers, rest assured, by tomorrow, we will have all your wages cleared. Additionally, your work will also be arranged properly."

Before long, both the bald boss and his woman were led away.

Long Chen spoke a few words to the worker brother and then walked away.

"Wait for me."

Mu Sisi quickly followed Long Chen’s steps.

"You should go back, stop following me. Regarding tonight’s incident, those videos you’ve shot, don’t post them online; I don’t want too many people to know about what I did," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Why? If you post them, you’ll become a hero," Sisi said.

Long Chen shook his head and replied, "I didn’t do this to be a hero; I simply couldn’t stand that baldy’s behavior. Just don’t post them, that’s all."

"If you want me to listen to you, it’s not impossible, but I’m scared to go back alone at night, send me back to school, and I’ll listen to you; I won’t post it."

Sisi said.

"Now you’re clinging onto me?" Long Chen laughed, "Just take a taxi; it’s very convenient."

"If you don’t send me, I’ll upload the video as soon as I get back, and let the whole country know of your heroic deeds."

Sisi threatened.

But the next second, Sisi was stunned.

She found her phone had mysteriously slipped from her grip and fallen into Long Chen’s hands.

"How... how did that happen?"

Sisi’s face turned pale.

"What do you think of this magic trick?"

Long Chen smiled and asked Sisi.

Sisi shook her head vigorously, "Can you... could you please give me back my phone? Please."
