Seeing their leader fall to the ground, his face looking like he had just seen a tiger. The police officers turned around fast to scare away the person who was scaring their leader. But when they turned around and saw Meng Hao, their face instantly changed and turned from aggressive to respectful. Standing at attention and saluting Meng Hao, they shouted.
"Good Morning, Young Master Meng!"
This elite police group had Bo Hou Zhang as their leader, but the person they all had to report to was Meng Hao's uncle Meng Fu, who's the police commissioner, who is way higher up the chain of command than a 3rd class superintendent. The only reason Bo Hou Zhang could even command one of the elite police groups is because of his father's position, which was also no match to Meng Hao and Meng Fu's relations.
As Meng Hao's grandfather, Meng Fu's father, the ex-mayor of the Liaoling city's apprentice is the current mayor and a great friend of Meng Fu. Only this contact could crush Bo Hou Zhang and his father to pieces. So there was no way Bo Hou Zhang could even resist against Meng Hao.
Pointing at the group of officers then to Wang Ming, Meng Hao shouted so loud, it stung their ears again.
"Were you guys going to beat me up? Even kill me? If you dare, then step up and try. But if I find out that some of you tried to even touch my good friend over there, Wang Ming, then you're career is over."
As soon as Meng Hao had spoken, the elite group of police officers didn't look as elite anymore. All of them were trembling and filled with panic. The only reason they became elite officers is because of the salary and pension. Most of them had a family to take care of.
If they lost this job, then their life would be over. So they all scrambled and grabbed Bo Hou Zhang, who was still lying on the ground with a dazed expression and made him kneel in front of Meng Hao, thinking that this could remedy the situation.
If they could get close to Meng Hao, then their lives would be even better than following Bo Hou Zhang. But when they brought Bo Hou Zhang forth to Meng Hao, he didn't seem to be happy but had a look of disdain. As for Bo Hou Zhang, he knew it was nothing he could do in this situation, so he only clenched his teeth together and hung his head down.
Letting his former attendants do whatever they wanted. That wasn't even the worst part. The friend, the brother he had since he was little Weng Ting, had run away as soon as he saw Meng Hao arrive and the situation turning bad.
Feeling angry, Bo Hou Zhang promised to get revenge on not only Weng Ting but also Wang Ming. If it wasn't because of Wang Ming, Weng Ting wouldn't have lost his job, then he wouldn't have gathered his underlings to take revenge for Weng Ting. He would get revenge on them both.
He would never in his life dare to touch Meng Hao, though. With his family background, no one in the Liaoling city would dare to touch him, only the big shots of the municipality could. [1] Now Bo Hou Zhang could only beg for his life.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Meng. I didn't mean to mess with you. Please spare me! Please think about my father, he's old now. I don't think he can take the stress of losing his only son."
After begging Meng Hao, Bo Hou Zhang looked at Meng Hao but to only see that he was just as angry, and didn't seem to buy his story at all.
"Why do you apologize to me? You did nothing to me, but I saw you fighting with my best friend. Who do you think you are? Do you think a dog like you can even touch him? The fact he's my best friend gives him the same position as me, so if you want to save yourself, you better start apologizing to him."
Hearing this Bo Hou Zhang finally understood, he cursed Weng Ting for not checking Wang Ming's background before asking Bo Hou Zhang to make a move. But this also fueled the hatred he had for Wang Ming. Why was Wang Ming's best friends with Meng Hao couldn't it be him that was Meng Hao's best friend?
Wang Ming even made him lose one of his good brothers, Weng Ting. The jealousy and hatred almost drove him crazy, but for now he knew he needed to preserve his life, so the only thing he could do now was to beg.
"Mister Ming, I'm Sorry! I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt Tai. [2] I hope and beg that you don't care about a small person. Please forgive me, as compensation for giving you so much stress. Please take this card."
Taking out his personal card and giving to Wang Ming, Bo Hou Zhang had never felt so humiliated in his life before. It had always been other people compensating him, not the other way around.
"The code is 0000. The balance is roughly 1 million yuan. Please take it Mister Ming."
Seeing that Bo Hou Zhang was now crying like a kid, Wang Ming thought that he had suffered enough. So he let him go, even though he had gotten a new enemy from today. But what could he do? Kill a superintendent in front of a police group? Of course he couldn't, Wang Ming wasn't a murderer, and even if he was, he couldn't kill him in public.
After taking the card, Wang Ming shooed them all away. Since Meng Hao was here, he didn't need to be respectful towards them, hadn't Meng Hao come in time then they would have had a fight. Especially since they came and almost ruined his opening ceremony.
Seeing Bo Hou Zhang and his police group leaving, Wang Ming couldn't help but let out a deep breath. Walking towards Meng Hao, Wang Ming saw he had brought two uncles he had never seen before. But since Meng Hao had brought them, he still gave them respect and greeted them by bowing to each of them before greeting and giving Meng Hao a bear hug, even lifting him off the ground. Shocking everybody since Meng Hao were around 120 kgs, but it seemed like Wang Ming lifted him easily.
But it didn't bother Meng Hao at all, as he felt ecstatic that Wang Ming hugged him. If he knew this would happen, then he would have punished Bo Hou Zhang even harder. Releasing Meng Hao, Wang Ming then asked who the uncles behind him were.
Hearing Wang Ming's question, Meng Hao realized he had totally forgotten about his uncles. So taking a step to the side, Meng Hao introduced them.
"Wang Ming, these two people are my dad's friends. The man to the left is Uncle Fu and goes by the name Fu Hong he's a self-made billionaire and started his media company when he was 25 years old and now after 35 years he owns the largest news company in not only Liaoling city but all over china. Last but not least, the other man is just as impressive, his name is Zhang Hou Uncle Hou. He's a well-known chef and has over 20 restaurants all over China, he's not a billionaire but he got lots of contacts in the food business. So if you can impress him, then your restaurant will have a smooth sailing."
Realizing their background, Wang Ming, respectively, greeted both of them again, though his mother had taught him he needed to respect his elders, so even if they didn't have such a huge background he would still greet them properly.
"Greetings, Uncle Fu, and Uncle Hou. I hope you don't mind that I call you uncle. I'm sorry if I didn't greet you properly before. I hope you can forgive me."
Wang Ming didn't want to come with any excuses, so he told them he was sorry instead of he was too happy seeing Meng Hao and "forgot" to greet them. Since you always greet the elders first, then greet the younger ones.
Seeing how polite Wang Ming both Fu Hong and Zhang Hou smiled, Zhang Hou then talked first.
"I'll talk for both Old Fu and me. We don't mind you calling us uncle. We have known this little rascal ever since he was young. Today is the first time he has ever asked us to attend something like an opening ceremony, which means you must be a great friend of his. Since we see Meng Hao as a family, then you as his best friend are also a part of our family. Don't worry as long as your restaurant is truly great then we will give you support accordingly. Old Zhang, Meng Hao's father, also wants us to apologize to you he couldn't come."
Wang Ming couldn't believe how nice these uncles were, especially when his own actual family treated him like shit. These persons that barely knew him already treated him as a part of their family. Bowing as deep as he could towards Fu Hong and Zhang Hou, Wang Ming said.
"Thank you Uncle Fu, Uncle Hou, and also Meng Hao for seeing me as family."
Seeing Wang Ming like this, stirred something inside the hearts of Fu Hong and Zhang Hou, it was just something special with Wang Ming. They had met many people that tried to play them like this. But Wang Ming showed so much honesty and sincerity, they could feel it in their hearts how much Wang Ming appreciated they thought about him as family.
"Don't worry, Little Ming, everybody can see your sincerity. Don't bow to us. We didn't bring you any presents today. I hope you can forgive us." After saying these words, Fu Hong couldn't help but ruffle Wang Ming's hair. Which made tears trickle down Wang Ming's face. He still remembers how his mother and father would ruffle his hair when he acted childish when he was young.
Then, Wang Ming took Meng Hao, Uncle Fu, and Uncle Hou in a big bear hug and said.
"Thank you!"
