Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Do You Think You Still Have a Chance?

At that, not only was Li Jun stunned, but Yuan Long was, too.

’He never imagined Ye Feng would actually dare to slap Li Jun across the face. This... this is going way too far! Li Jun will never let him get away with this!’

He quickly got up, stood in front of Ye Feng, and pleaded, "Nephew, for you to come and see me when I’m like this... I’m already content. Please, don’t cause any trouble for yourself!"

Then, turning to Li Jun, he quickly put on an appeasing smile and said, "Mayor Li, this kid is just impulsive. Let me apologize to you on his behalf..."

"You shut your trap." Before Yuan Long could finish, Li Jun rudely cut him off. "I just got slapped, and you think an apology is enough to just move on? In your dreams."

"Yuan Long, you definitely put this mongrel up to this, just to humiliate me. This isn’t over. I’m calling Mayor Pan right now to have him come and deal with this. I’m telling you, this time, you won’t even get to go to a place like the archives. Just you wait, you’ll be sent packing home to plant sweet potatoes."

He then pointed at Ye Feng and snarled, "And as for you, you little bastard, just you wait. You’ll be rotting in prison."

With that, he took out his phone and made a call.

Beside them, Mrs. Yuan looked at Ye Feng and pleaded, "Child, I thank you for standing up for us, but I can’t bear to see you get into terrible trouble over this. You should go. Your Uncle Yuan will take the blame for everything here."

Li Jun glared at Ye Feng and snarled, "Trying to run? Dream on. Even if you crawl into a rat hole, I’ll drag you out. You just wait. Wait until I get Mayor Pan on the line!"

But a moment later, he said in confusion, "Why is it taking so long? I can’t get through to Mayor Pan."

Ye Feng looked at Li Jun, a slight smile on his face. "Have you considered the possibility that Pan Jie has already been taken away by the Disciplinary Commission and is currently under investigation?"

"What the hell are you talking about? Mayor Pan is about to be promoted to the Head Mayor of Jiangcheng. How could he possibly be taken away..."

The words had barely left his mouth when his phone began to ring insistently. He glanced at Ye Feng and said smugly, "See? The call came through after all! Your lies just fell apart on their own, didn’t they? Heh heh..."

He answered the call, his tone full of his official status. "Hello, this is Li Jun. Speak. Hmm..."

The next moment, his eyes flew wide. "What did you say? Pan Jie... has been stripped of his position, and... and he was really taken away by the Disciplinary Commission?"

In an instant, he froze, completely dumbfounded.

Ye Feng, who was standing nearby, looked at him with a grin. "Well? I was right, wasn’t I?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hao rushed over to Ye Feng and asked urgently, "Brother Ye, is this... is this real?"

Ye Feng smiled and nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Haha, that’s wonderful! Haha..." Yuan Hao burst into excited laughter.

However, Li Jun, who was watching Yuan Hao, let out a cold sneer. "You really think you can get arrogant just because Pan Jie has fallen? That Yuan Long can escape punishment? You’re dreaming. We have people higher up. I’ll just call them directly."

With that, he picked up his phone, ready to make another call.

Mrs. Yuan’s face turned pale. "This... this situation is spiraling out of control!"

Ye Feng smiled reassuringly at Mrs. Yuan. "Auntie, don’t worry. Uncle Yuan will be fine. I guarantee it."

Ye Feng was already preparing to call his Third Senior Sister.

But Li Jun just looked at Ye Feng and sneered, "You guarantee it? Your guarantee ain’t worth a damn!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a cold voice rang out from the doorway, "If what Mr. Ye says doesn’t count, then what about me?"

As the voice faded, a man strode into the room with purpose.

Hearing someone dare to challenge him so openly, Li Jun became enraged. He spun around, stared at the newcomer, and roared, "Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to make a scene here..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he finally recognized the man who had just arrived. Instantly, he was like a rooster with its neck wrung, completely silent, his face turning as white as a sheet.

Once he snapped out of it, he scurried over to the newcomer and said respectfully, "Mr. Cyan Dragon, I truly didn’t recognize you just now. I spoke offensively, please forgive me!"

But Cyan Dragon paid him no mind, walking straight to Ye Feng and speaking with deference:

"Mr. Ye, allow me to handle today’s matter."

BOOM!

Cyan Dragon’s words struck Li Jun like a bolt of lightning. He was instantly dumbfounded. ’The dignified Cyan Dragon, such a noble figure, is being so incredibly respectful to Ye Feng? He even addresses him as ’Mr. Ye’! How is this possible? Does Ye Feng have such a terrifying background?’

Then, Cyan Dragon turned to Yuan Long and said, "Mayor Yuan, the Grand Elder is aware of your situation. There has been a misjudgment, so I will be the one to resolve this matter for you."

With that, he took out his phone and made a call.

When the call connected, Cyan Dragon spoke with authority, "This is Cyan Dragon. On the Grand Elder’s orders, I am commanding you to reinvestigate the matter concerning Mayor Yuan Long of Nanjun. Give me a result that can be presented to the Grand Elder as soon as possible."

Just a few minutes later, Cyan Dragon hung up and looked at Yuan Long.

"Mayor Yuan, congratulations. You have been reinstated to your post."

"Thank you, Lord Cyan Dragon."

Yuan Long said gratefully.

Hearing this, Li Jun froze in place, utterly dumbfounded. ’Wasn’t Yuan Long supposed to be finished? How did he just bounce back up?’

’If he’s back on top, then what about me? I’ve made a mortal enemy of him!’

So he scrambled over to Cyan Dragon and cried out desperately, "Lord Cyan Dragon, Yuan Long used his position for personal gain and engaged in corrupt practices! This has already been proven! How can you just reinstate him? I implore you, Lord Cyan Dragon, to investigate this clearly..."

Before he could finish, Cyan Dragon spun around, fixed his gaze on him, and enunciated each word clearly:

"Are you... telling me how to do my job?"

Staring into Cyan Dragon’s piercing eyes, Li Jun felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over his head. Every hair on his body stood on end.

His mouth hung open, but just like that rooster with its neck wrung, he could no longer make a sound.

Cyan Dragon bid farewell to Yuan Long and Ye Feng, then turned and left.

Li Jun remained standing there, staring blankly at Yuan Long, utterly dumbfounded.

Just then, Yuan Hao walked up to Li Jun and, with a sneer, said, "You were so arrogant. Go on, be arrogant for me one more time, I’d love to see it!"

That finally snapped Li Jun out of his stupor. He hurried over to Yuan Long, bowing and scraping with an obsequious smile.

"Uh, Mayor Yuan, everything I said earlier was just a joke. You don’t need to vacate the house, you can stay with peace of mind. Oh, no, I mean, this was always yours to begin with."

"Rest assured, I will continue to be your faithful assistant in the future. I will work diligently and perform all my duties to the best of my ability!"

Yuan Long looked at Li Jun and said calmly, "Do you really think you’ll have that chance?"

With that, he picked up his phone and made a call. "Hello, Disciplinary Unit? Send someone over to take Li Jun away. I want a strict investigation. If you find anything, I want him handled with maximum severity."

Li Jun let out a wretched wail and collapsed to the floor, as if all the bones had been ripped from his body.

’He knew he had backed the wrong horse. He knew he was finished. Utterly finished.’ 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Yuan Long didn’t give him another glance. He walked over to Ye Feng, grasped his hands, and said with gratitude:

"Nephew, thank you."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan, there’s no need to be so formal with me!"

Yuan Long roared with laughter. "Good lad, you’re absolutely right!"

He then turned to Mrs. Yuan and said with a smile, "Go to the kitchen and whip up a few dishes. I want to have a few good drinks with Ye Feng today."

Mrs. Yuan agreed and hurried toward the kitchen, but just then, Ye Feng’s phone rang.

Ye Feng answered the phone. After listening for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly. "Alright, Luyao. Just wait there, I’m on my way."
