Chapter 1198: Chapter 1199: Just a Phone Call
“Oh, so it’s a Deputy Director, huh? Is his name Liu Dinglong?”
Song Xiaodong asked leisurely.
“That’s right! Eh? How do you know my uncle’s name?” Liu Jinming first wore a smug expression, then looked at Song Xiaodong suspiciously, “Do you know my uncle?”
“I don’t know him, nor do I want to.” Song Xiaodong’s tone remained indifferent.
Liu Jinming sneered, “Come on, you almost had me there. Who do you think you are, really? Just a university teacher, judging by your looks, at most a counselor. Do you think someone like you can know my uncle?”
Song Xiaodong said blandly, “Alright, now that the situation is clear, it’s time to deal with it. We need to go back and rest.”
“What do you mean?” Liu Jinming frowned.
“You’ll know in a moment.” Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and directly picked up the phone, dialing a number.
The call was answered after just one ring, and a very respectful voice came through: “Patriarch Song, is anything the matter?”
The one who answered was the head of the Jin Family, who was over seventy years old this year. Yet, when speaking to Song Xiaodong, he had to use such a respectful tone. His Jin Family was just a small family in Ningjian Province, occupying a small corner, and couldn’t even compare to the Su Family.
Song Xiaodong said mildly, “I’m currently on Xiaolu Island, and my student has encountered some trouble…” After briefly explaining the situation, Song Xiaodong continued, “The Deputy Director’s name is Wang Tao, and the main troublemaker is Liu Jinming, whose uncle’s name is Liu Dinglong.”
“Patriarch Song, I understand. These bastards dare to provoke Patriarch Song; I’ll handle it right away. I promise to give Patriarch Song a satisfactory explanation.”
“I’m now a teacher at Ningjian Medical University, and you’re doing this for the justice of the students in the school.”
“Yes, yes, I understand, I understand.”
While Song Xiaodong was on the phone, everyone here was listening intently, but they couldn’t hear what was being said on the other side, only catching what Song Xiaodong was saying.
There wasn’t much said in total, just emphasizing the uncle’s name.
Liu Jinming sneered, “Oh, trying to pull strings, huh? I’m telling you, even if you try to pull strings, it won’t work. Just a little university teacher like you trying to connect with a big-shot like my uncle, it’s laughable.”
Song Xiaodong was really not in the mood to waste words on such a petty individual, ignoring him completely.
Lu Yaobing gave Song Xiaodong a sweet smile and said, “Master, is it resolved already?”
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, “What else could it be?”
Lu Yaobing gave Song Xiaodong a thumbs up and said, “Master is awesome.”
However, the four male students were not entirely relieved. One of them whispered, “Teacher Song, are we really going to be okay?”
Lu Yaobing rolled her eyes and said, “With Master here, how could there be a problem?”
“When can we leave?” the male student asked cautiously.
Lu Yaobing chuckled softly and said, “Why rush? There’s still a good show to watch.”
Seeing Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing so relaxed, Liu Jinming felt uncertain again. He glared and said, “Stop pretending to be mystics. Are you going to accept my terms or not?”
Lu Yaobing gave him a sidelong glance and said, “Isn’t there still time? Why are you in such a hurry?”
This only made Liu Jinming more uneasy. He stood up abruptly, snorted, and said, “Fine, you all need to cry before you see the coffin. There’s no need to talk anymore. I’ll go get the Director to handle this officially.”
This was meant as a threat, and upon hearing it, Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing should have been afraid. But neither of them even glanced at him, and though the four male students showed some worry, nobody said a word.
“Damn, you’re really not afraid of death, huh? Let’s see how this turns out,” Liu Jinming was genuinely angry, turned around, and strode out, opening the door wide.
Wang Tao was standing outside, a cigarette in his mouth. Just as they were about to speak, both their phones rang simultaneously.
Wang Tao checked the number and immediately said, “It’s our Director. Let me take this call.”
Seeing the number, Liu Jinming quickly said, “It’s my uncle. Let me take this call too.”
“Uncle!” Liu Jinming quickly shouted.
“Liu Jinming, you bastard, you’ve caused me a huge problem this time!” Liu Dinglong immediately yelled.
“Huh? Uncle, what’s wrong?” Usually, because his aunt doted on him, this uncle also favored him and never spoke harshly. But now, starting with yelling and scolding, it was unprecedented, leaving Liu Jinming bewildered.
“You’re asking me what’s wrong? You’ve stirred up trouble outside, and this time it’s a big mess.”
Liu Jinming said dismissively, “A big mess? It’s just a group of university students, what’s the big deal?”
“You… you’re really driving me crazy! The Director just called me, chewed me out thoroughly. It’s serious, I might even lose my job because of this, you’re really ruining me.”
“What? No way, right?” Now Liu Jinming was panicking. His uncle had always been his backing, and if he lost his job, he’d have nothing left.
“What do you mean no way? Listen to me now. Go apologize, right away, and keep apologizing until they’re satisfied. No matter what conditions they ask for, agree wholeheartedly.”
“This…”
“Stop hesitating, do as I say!”
“Alright, alright! I got it.” Liu Jinming hung up, and his expression was indescribably grim.
At this point, Wang Tao also hung up, looking equally grim. He glared at Liu Jinming, biting his teeth, “You’re really ruining me.”
Seeing Wang Tao like this, Liu Jinming said anxiously, “This… Deputy Director Wang, it couldn’t be that bad, right?”
“Not that bad? Do you know how hard it was for me to get to this position? It’s all because of you!” Wang Tao got angrier as he spoke, lifted his foot, and kicked Wang Jinming hard in the stomach.
Liu Jinming was caught off guard, and fell to the ground on his butt from the kick.
“You… you dare hit me, do you know who my uncle is?” Liu Jinming clutched his stomach, shouting angrily.
“Who cares if I can’t even stay a cop anymore? Do you think I care who your uncle is?” Wang Tao kicked him again, fuming, “Besides, who knows if your uncle can even save himself now, and you’re still being arrogant? I’ll beat the crap out of you!”
