Chapter 1219 They Were Neighbors (Part Two)
"Who's he calling?" The woman asked Belinda, confused. She had no clue at all why Kevin said they could deal with this thing more easily. This was bugging her a lot!
"Who do you think? He's probably ringing up your husband, Mr. Lu! You've done it now. Your husband won't be happy. You were pretty stupid to get him involved," Belinda smirked. This woman was too dumb to breathe, let alone use her head for anything else. "Who are you? How do you know my husband's last name?" As expected, this was a serious blow to her ego. So she opened her mouth again.
"You told us, didn't you? You said your husband was the deputy director of the State Taxation Administration. I deal with them all the time. What's more, I met your hubby." Belinda could not help but roll her eyes at her. 'What a stupid woman! I'm sure her husband wouldn't appreciate cleaning up her mess. She was stupid enough to drag him into it.'
"I feel sorry for you! We could have dealt with this privately. But you insisted on going nuts. I don't think this will go well for you," Leena sighed. Her husband was bold enough to deal with the deputy mayor. Of course he wouldn't be afraid of the deputy director of the State Taxation Administration.
"Hum! Don't try to frighten me! What? You own the city? I doubt it." Although this woman was a little scared now, she still did not believe that Kevin was powerful enough to threaten her husband. She still thought they were all full of it.
"You're right, we don't own the city. But we can do something to you, at least." Belinda loved seeing justice be dished out. She was really excited now.
"Do something to me?" she said. Then, she started to yell. "Do something to me?" she screamed. "Guys, let's show these jerks! Break everything in this house!" The woman was always bossy and arrogant. She could not stand it when Belinda teased her to her face. And now she had the power, and she was going to use it.
A chorus of voices erupted from her goon squad, "Yeah!" "We're here now!" "We should do something!" They all shouted out their agreement. They didn't want to be thought of as weak.
"So what are you waiting for? Break stuff! I'll take all the blame." Hands on her hips, the woman glanced at Kevin and the others defiantly.
"Stop it. You idiot! You can't be responsible for it!" A deep, masculine voice boomed through the room. Then, a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in the doorway. He was breathing heavily, probably because he did his best to get here in a hurry. Get here before anything bad happened.
"Hey, here you are! They bullied me." The woman sounded thrilled and shouted loudly the moment she saw her husband. She pointed a beefy finger at Belinda, Leena, and Kevin as she accused them.
"I'll deal with you later!" the man growled. He shot a glare at her and then walked to Kevin. He bowed earnestly to Kevin and said, "I'm sorry, Major General Gu. My wife doesn't know any better and caused you trouble today. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't bring this to the police."
"Mr. Lu, do you always make excuses for your wife? Doesn't know any better? Is she an untrained dog or an adult? I don't think she does know. But I think she's violent and needs to be locked up!" Kevin lowered his head and looked at him, hands in his pants pockets. "No, no. Major General Gu, please don't get angry. My wife isn't usually like this. I don't know why she lost her mind today..." The deputy director took out a handkerchief and mopped the sweat from his brow as he struggled to explain.
"Oh! So you mean, we made a mistake." Kevin stopped smiling. He became sharp and cold all of a sudden and shot his eagle-like glare at the deputy director.
"Ah! No, I didn't mean that, Major General Gu. You misunderstood me. I'll be stricter with her in the future." The deputy director knew all too well about Kevin. He just sent the sons of prominent leaders to prison a few days ago. Now his wife was trying to stir up trouble with the same guy! What the hell was she doing? If he was lucky, he'd be able to throw some money at this and make it go away. But if he was unlucky, he might lose his position! This was quite usual for those in the political field.
"Mr. Lu, are you aware of what kind of crimes your wife is responsible for? Breaking into my house illegally is a minor civil case. But gathering a band to make trouble is a serious one." Kevin was most aggravated when he thought of Leena's face. She was his little treasure and he loved her so much. But this woman attacked her, she scratched her face. How could he just let this woman off scot free?
"Sorry! I'm so sorry! If they broke something here, or hurt somebody, I'll pay for it." The deputy director nodded and bowed unctuously to Kevin. But in his mind, he was blaming himself. He had thought that it was normal for a woman to be aggressive, so he did not pay that close attention to her rudeness. But he never expected that she would have caused these kinds of problems.
"It's not the money. Think of how this looks. You met us today. What if we were just ordinary people? Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Kevin smiled coldly. The city seemed to be having a problem with corruption. He'd seen officials take advantage of their power to bully others. It got worse the last few days. Maybe God arranged it so that he could find the guilty parties and punish them.
"Yes, you're right, Major General Gu. I will definitely be strict with my family and would never allow them to abuse others using my position," the deputy director promised, trembling in fear. He didn't dare to raise his head, unwilling to meet Kevin's eyes.00000000
