Chapter 122 – Won’t Apologize Unless You’re Beaten_1

“Brother, why aren’t you speaking up for me but instead speaking for an outsider?” Li Changcheng felt discontent upon hearing his older brother’s words, lamenting as he spoke to Li Changjiang.

“Dammit, get over here!” Li Changjiang roared furiously at his younger brother.

He knew his younger brother’s true nature very well. Relying on his family’s power, he had often caused trouble outside. There were even several girls whose pregnancies had been his doing, and it was only through Li Changjiang’s own connections that those incidents had been suppressed.

This time, his brother had encountered the new instructor of the War Wolf Squad, who was reportedly a trusted confidante of Director Gu. Li Changjiang could not afford to let Xu Fan grasp any leverage over him. Therefore, to handle the situation, he had no choice but to inconvenience his own brother to come and offer an apology to end the matter. They would deal with the War Wolf Squad later when the opportunity arose.

However, how could Li Changcheng possibly know his older brother’s thoughts? Being trampled underfoot by Xu Fan in public was already embarrassing enough, and now that he finally had backup, he was still expected to apologize in front of everyone. How could Li Changcheng ever show his face at the Hilton Hotel again to seek out Song Qi?

So Li Changcheng defiantly said to Li Changjiang, “Why should I apologize? If anyone should apologize, it’s him and that despicable woman to me. I asked her to have a meal with me, and she didn’t appreciate the offer. That’s not just slapping my face; that’s flagrantly slapping your face, brother!”

“Beast! I’ve really spoiled you rotten!” Li Changjiang roared in fury, pulling his brother close and glaring at him with fiery eyes. He felt like he could kick his brother to death right there and then. The younger sibling was just too hopeless. Couldn’t he see that our men were no match for him? Even if you, his own brother, were to step in, you would be knocked down with a single punch. The dignity of the Falcon Squad leader is on the line here—is that more important or is satisfying your lust by hooking up with a girl more important?

“Since Captain Li’s little brother refuses to admit his fault, I might as well call Director Gu over to weigh in on this matter, and see how we should resolve it,” Xu Fan casually said, shaking his phone lightly.

“Please don’t!” Li Changjiang quickly put on a smile and pleaded with Xu Fan, “Director Gu is overwhelmed with daily duties; there’s no need to trouble him over such a trivial matter. I’ll make my brother apologize, and that will suffice.”

Li Changjiang had also recently learned that the new instructor of the War Wolf Squad had a close personal relationship with Director Lu. Director Lu Chenbing had been at odds with the Falcon Squad since his arrival in Zhonghai, and if there were any blunders in this matter, Lu Chenbing could directly take action based on this incident.

Xu Fan was merely a special instructor, while Li Changjiang had a task of being on alert duty.

Now, by leaving with his team members privately to stand up for his brother, if Lu Chenbing made an issue of it, this alone would be enough to get Li Changjiang into serious trouble.

Moreover, his brother Li Changcheng had indeed done many bad things in the past, and if Lu Chenbing were to investigate, Li Changjiang could certainly not absolve himself of involvement. Therefore, stabilizing the situation by appeasing Xu Fan was the only way to defuse this crisis. Later on, Li Changjiang could slowly find a way to regain his standing.

“Since we’re talking about apologizing, then just apologize. What are you waiting for?” Xu Fan said coldly to Li Changjiang.

“Changcheng, hurry up and apologize to this lady!” Li Changjiang urged his brother.

“No! Apologizing would be slapping my own face. I will absolutely not apologize!” Li Changcheng stubbornly refused.

His brother had always indulged him since he was young, so he did not sense that Li Changjiang’s tone had become quite severe. He remained willful, refusing outright.

With a “smack,” Li Changjiang landed a resounding slap across Li Changcheng’s face.

“Brother? You hit me?!” Li Changcheng looked at his older brother in disbelief. Never before had his brother struck him like this.

“I did hit you! Apologize right now!” Li Changjiang said fiercely.

“I won’t—”

“Smack!” Before Li Changcheng could finish his sentence, another resounding slap followed.

The first slap had been symbolic, but this time, Li Changjiang was truly enraged. With an intense slap born of frustration at his brother’s failure to meet expectations, he completely stunned Li Changcheng, who covered his head, taking a while to regain his senses.

Li Changcheng’s face swelled up from the slap, marked with five distinct finger prints.

“Are you going to apologize or not?” If you don’t apologize, I’ll beat you to death right here and now!” Li Changjiang said furiously to his brother.

Li Changcheng was dumbfounded, his face burning with pain, his earlier righteousness gone. He hung his head pitifully and said to Song Qi, “I’m sorry, I was wrong!”

“Do you dare to bother her again in the future?” Xu Fan asked gently.

“If he dares to come again, I’ll break his legs myself,” Li Changjiang said with a look of righteousness, as if ready to enforce justice even upon his own family, he said to Xu Fan.

“Exactly, I wouldn’t dare to come again. If I do, let my brother break my legs.” Li Changcheng nodded in panic, moments before he was the king, now looking like a complete loser.

“What do you think?” Xu Fan asked Song Qi gently.

“As long as he doesn’t bother me in the future, that’s fine,” Song Qi said, a bit shyly, admiration in her eyes as she looked at Xu Fan.

Li Changcheng’s brother was a big shot who even the hotel owner didn’t dare to offend, and yet, after meeting Xu Fan, he was pushed to the point of slapping his own brother and forcing him to apologize. This showed Xu Fan’s influence must be even greater than Li Changjiang’s.

Seeing that Song Qi had calmed down, Xu Fan said to Li Changjiang, “Captain Li, since your brother has realized his mistake, take him away quickly. Such a grown man causing a scene and embarrassing himself in public, truly oblivious to what’s good for him.”

“Instructor Xu is right. When we get home, I’ll definitely educate him well, so he doesn’t disgrace our Li family name again,” Li Changjiang said with a smile, nodding in agreement and appearing very amiable.

“Then hurry up and take all those people lying on the ground away. The members of Falcon Squad are just mediocre like this,” Xu Fan said indifferently, gesturing towards the Falcon Squad members who’d been knocked down.

“Yes, yes, we will definitely strengthen our training once we get back,” Li Changjiang said. He helped the team members up and then, together with his brother and the team members, got into the domineering Jeep they had arrived in.

With a roar of the engine, the Jeep quickly drove away from the hotel entrance.

“Dammit! The military competition with War Wolf Squad is next month; watch me not cripple you guys this time!”

In the car, Li Changjiang’s face twisted into a vicious snarl as he growled lowly.

“Captain, that new instructor they have seems really tough. I couldn’t even block one of his punches!” a team member said to Li Changjiang.

“Don’t state the obvious. That instructor is a martial artist. I realized it and didn’t want to confront him directly. That dimwit brother of mine doesn’t know how lucky he is. Against a martial artist who wants him dead, it would just be a flick of the finger. If it weren’t for me today, he was doomed,” Li Changjiang glanced at his brother, saying resentfully.

“Captain, then how are we going to defeat them in next month’s competition with such a strong new instructor on War Wolf?”

“Don’t worry, our Falcon squad instructors aren’t pushovers. I’m going to call our instructor right now to give us advanced training. When the time comes, I refuse to believe we can’t take down those War Wolf pups!”

“Falcon is always number one!”

“Falcon will prevail!”
