Chapter 303 Conditions for Apology
"President Li, wait, wait!"
Just as the black Maybach was about to start and leave, Brother Cat, with his subordinates, frantically chased out from the police station.
Seeing this, the expressions of Zhang Xinxin and the two others in the backseat slightly changed, showing a hint of vigilance.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Li Jing calmly pressed the window down, looking at Brother Cat and his group coming over, casually said, "What? Do you still want a fight?"
"No, no, President Li, you're joking. We wouldn't dare fight with you."
Brother Cat quickly waved his hand, his face full of embarrassment and awkwardness, then respectfully said, "I just wanted to apologize to you in person, it was all a misunderstanding earlier..."
"Misunderstanding?"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Ah Liang originally didn't intend to speak, but worried that Li Jing might be deceived by the other's act, he sneered and said:
"Although you're not in cahoots with the robber, you guessed that Chen Xuliang might do something, even waited at the community gate to reap benefits.
In the end, you also tried to snatch those things back from us. Tell me, what's the misunderstanding in all this?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Cat's face slightly changed, not expecting that the other party had guessed everything.
Earlier during the conversation at the police station, he only mentioned coming to collect debt from Chen Xuliang, without revealing that he had already guessed Chen Xuliang's robbery plan.
Having been in this business long enough, he knew how to avoid illegal actions.
Thus, after a simple police inquiry, there was no penalty against them, just a warning not to use violence in future.
But he didn't expect this big guy to guess their plan to reap benefits, Brother Cat's smile grew stiff before he reluctantly explained again:
"Big brothers, I was definitely wrong in this situation, if we had known about your capabilities earlier, even with a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare lay hands on you two."
This time, Brother Cat truly was apologetic and regretful, having learned Li Jing and Ah Liang's general identities at the police station.
Li Jing indeed was as he suspected, a big boss, and seemed to hold a high status.
And Ah Liang was indeed Li Jing's bodyguard, but after interacting at the police station, Brother Cat's men recognized him, discovering Ah Liang had mixed in Tianhai before.
Especially after seeing the two big tattooed arms under the other's jacket, Brother Cat squinted slightly, tried a few probing words, and found he was from the fitness circle.
It was this information that reminded him of the recent buzz in the Tianhai Fitness Circle about the Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall.
Although they didn't engage much in fitness, they loved fistfights; thus, they had some interest and focus on fitness.
They had seen the news online about the opening of the Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall.
They didn't know others but Zhou Shun and Great Year had reputations in Tianhai before, even Brother Cat, and many big shots he knew, recognized them.
So after suspecting Ah Liang might be from the Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall, Brother Cat immediately ordered his men to check related news.
Unexpectedly, upon checking, shock ensued.
When Li Jing's picture appeared on everyone's mobile screens, Brother Cat's four men were all stunned.
Especially the information below the page was all about Li Jing, and the most shocking revelation was Li Jing being the hidden boss behind the entire Tianhai fitness circle.
Seeing this piece of information almost made Brother Cat drop his phone.
Observing the media photo with Zhou Shun and Great Year standing behind Li Jing, the first thought in Brother Cat's head was "Damn, provoked someone not to be messed with."
Thus, after the conversation at the station concluded, he immediately chased out to apologize and absolve the misunderstanding face-to-face.
Initially, he thought Li Jing and Ah Liang didn't know about their ambush plan earlier, planning to apologize under the guise of misunderstanding as a pass-off.
Now seeing Ah Liang exposing him, Brother Cat's face turned unpleasant; he didn't dare meet Li Jing's eyes, forcing himself to explain:
"President Li, we were truly wrong this time, didn't realize how important you are.
If you need compensation to extinguish your anger, quote a number, if we're able, we're willing to pay."
Brother Cat wasn't sure about Li Jing's temperament, fearing he might bear a grudge, thus seeking to clear the misunderstanding to avoid future trouble.
"There's no need for compensation; do you think I lack money?"
Although Li Jing didn't understand why the other offered such reverence, he hadn't suffered from this incident; on the contrary, the other took quite a beating from them.
Moreover, Chen Xuliang was criminally detained due to the severity of a home invasion robbery and stabbing; the sentence would likely start at ten years.
Thus Li Jing had little emotional energy about Brother Cat's group, or hadn't even considered them at all.
"Ah, yes, yes, you definitely aren't short of money."
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Brother Cat thought the other was dissatisfied with his compensation offer, quickly dry laughing in reverence, "What do you think we should do for you to calm down, it's really a misunderstanding..."
"There's no need."
Li Jing casually waved his hand, was about to leave when Ah Liang suddenly thought of something and leaned over to whisper to Li Jing.
Li Jing's brow slightly raised, he turned his head back toward Brother Cat respectfully standing outside the car, asking, "I heard from colleagues at the station that the robber Chen Xuliang previously worked at a factory making craft products?"
Upon hearing, Brother Cat was stunned, unsure of Li Jing's sudden inquiry purpose.
But he still honestly replied, "Yes, a factory specializing in cultural and creative related products."
