Chapter 1232: The Situation Is Far Too Unusual!
What made Wang Xiaoqiang awkward and uneasy was his current relationship with Xu Kunpeng.
Xu Kunpeng's sister, Xu Qingxue, was taken to Thailand by Wang Xiaoqiang and became his woman. Several years ago, Xu Qingxue had already given birth to a pair of twins for Wang Xiaoqiang, but until now, Wang Xiaoqiang has not given her a status.
Now he has this son by his side, which makes the situation really awkward and concerning. He doesn't know how to face this brother-in-law.
With the anxiety in his heart, the "Fear Shield Plate" within his body grew stronger. Its power increased.
Like Wang Xiaoqiang, Xu Kunpeng also felt extremely awkward, especially when he saw Wang Xiaoqiang with a teenage boy who resembled him a lot because he knew that Wang Xiaoqiang only had an older brother and no younger brother. This teenage boy looking so much like him must be his son.
However, with so many years in officialdom, he had developed a calm and composed demeanor in stressful situations. He smiled naturally, extended his hand, and said, "This must be Mr. Wang. It's truly an honor to meet you here."
Xu Kunpeng's words were neither arrogant nor servile, distant yet close, quite courteous, so as not to arouse any suspicion.
Originally, the matter between Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Qingxue was a secret affair. Both were quite low-key; they did not register for marriage nor hold a wedding ceremony domestically, so not many people knew about it. Therefore, at this moment, no one doubted the relationship between Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Kunpeng.
Meanwhile, the guests outside, including Wu Yi and Murakami Iida, were puzzled. The provincial leaders didn't greet them but instead walked toward the criminal, warmly shaking hands and chatting; this situation was too peculiar!
Of course, while Murakami Iida was puzzled, he was extremely dissatisfied and angry.
In his view, he had come from Japan with great sincerity to invest in River City, and the leaders here should treat him as a distinguished guest. Yet unexpectedly, several provincial leaders didn't pay him any attention and instead went to shake hands and socialize with the criminal.
Frustrated, he decided not only to sternly punish Wang Xiaoqiang but also to make these provincial leaders who dared to belittle him regret it.
"Long time no see, Deputy Governor Xu."
Wang Xiaoqiang shook hands with Xu Kunpeng, feeling some relief at his brother-in-law's promotion. But he couldn't show it. He also couldn't reveal their relationship.
Seeing Deputy Governor Xu shake hands with Wang Xiaoqiang, several other provincial leaders also shook hands with Wang Xiaoqiang. These leaders had climbed up in recent years and did not know Wang Xiaoqiang, but they understood in their hearts that following the lead was never wrong.
Xia Mi drove back at this point, and seeing Xu Kunpeng arriving, her heart finally settled.
She quietly approached Wang Xiaoqiang and reported a piece of news to him: she had thoroughly investigated Murakami Iida's assets and influence in Japan.
Murakami Family was a newly risen family in Japan in recent years, with Murakami Corporation being a rising star. Murakami Iida was not the head of Murakami Family; he was just in charge of various investment businesses in Huaxia Nation.
After listening to Xia Mi's report, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Call Tanimoto Ichiro, Chiba Keiko, and Miyazaki Yuki; let the three families exert pressure on Murakami Family, make Murakami Iida regret it, and have him kneel before me begging for forgiveness."
"Yes." Xia Mi responded and immediately began contacting the three people in Japan.
...
Very quickly...
After retrieving the surveillance video in the banquet hall and several involved parties' statements, including oral testimonies from Xia Mi and Little Lucy, the police identified the facts of the situation and directly controlled Wu Yi and several other spoiled brats,
Wu Yi protested at being controlled, shouting, "Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me?! I guarantee you'll regret it; I'll make you pay for this…"
"Daring to threaten the police, asking for a beating." The leading officer slapped Wu Yi in the face, immediately sobering him and making him compliant.
Murakami Iida's female assistant was also controlled. Little Bao had grabbed her chest hard, causing her pain that was still there now.
She originally hoped Murakami Iida could avenge her, delivering a severe counterattack against Wang Xiaoqiang. However, unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't affected at all, and she herself was caught. If this left a blemish, she wouldn't be able to continue in the future, it wasn't worth it.
Thinking of this, she felt depressed and stifled, even wanting to die. At this moment, she called out to Murakami Iida, "Sir, save me..."
"What are you doing? This is pure nonsense. My assistant was sexually harassed and harmed, yet you aren't arresting the criminals, instead indiscriminately arresting the victim. Is this reasonable? Believe it or not, I'll sue you in the International Court..." Murakami Iida flew into a rage, shouting at the police in awkward Mandarin.
Xu Kunpeng came over, speaking indifferently, "Mr. Murakami, we will not wrong any good person, nor let any bad person go unpunished. There is a reason for arresting her. If you think we are being partial or unjust, please come with me to view the surveillance footage from the banquet. Then you will understand everything..."
Murakami Iida knew everything clearly in his heart, naturally not daring or having the face to watch the surveillance footage. He was merely exasperated, saying, "Fine, I didn't expect this is how you operate, truly unreliable! I'm withdrawing my investment; I'll return to Japan tomorrow, and I'll apply to my family to cut off all business ties with you..."
Just when he said this, Murakami Iida's phone rang. Murakami Iida took out his phone, glanced at the screen in frustration, then pressed the accept button, yelling irritably, "Hello... who is it... speak..."
"Such anger..." An elderly voice spoke in Japanese, the tone low but full of authority.
Hearing the voice, Murakami Iida trembled, then said nervously, "Clan, Clan Leader, I-I'm sorry, I didn't see it was your call earlier... I-I've been confused by this group of Huaxia people; t-they are too unreasonable, too unreliable. I-I don't think we should invest in the project; I request you, Clan Leader, withdraw all business with them."
Murakami Iida deliberately raised his voice to intimidate Xu Kunpeng and others, hoping they'd beg him, thereby salvaging some dignity.
Unexpectedly, the voice on the phone became extremely low, "You dare to say this to me; do you know how big a disaster you've caused? Because of you, Tanimoto family, Chiba family, and Miyazaki family all want to cut off business with us..."
"What? Clan Leader, are you joking with me?" Murakami Iida stammered, knowing the consequences of this matter; if the Three Major Families cut off business with Murakami Family, Murakami Family would completely go bankrupt, falling from a newly prosperous family into decline.
"You troublesome thing, I'm not in the mood to joke with you," the authoritative voice said, "The only way to resolve this is for you to kneel and apologize to Mr. Wang, whom you've offended, ask for his forgiveness; if he doesn't forgive you, don't return home ever again..."
