Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Call Me Grandpa
"What is it? Speak up already!"
People in the crowd started to get anxious and quickly pressed Song Jianjun to continue.
"I..."
Song Jianjun looked at Wang Hao with a pleading face, hoping Wang Hao would give him another chance, hoping he would let him off the hook.
But Wang Hao didn’t even glance at him, as if he was just waiting for him to spill the rest. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
At this point, Song Jianjun felt helpless and decided to throw caution to the wind, muttering to himself.
"I said if I invited you to our auction, then I... I would call you Grandpa!"
"What? Grandpa? Haha... Now, if you want to invite Wang Hao over, doesn’t that mean you’re admitting you’re his grandson?"
"Song Jianjun, you’re usually so arrogant, barking orders at us all. How come you can’t toughen up today? You’re even admitting Wang Hao is your grandpa."
"So even Boss Song has a day like today, what a satisfying thought!"
The herbal merchants attending the auction had also been bullied by Song Jianjun before and seeing him now admitting he was Wang Hao’s grandson, each felt a great sense of satisfaction.
They seized the opportunity to mercilessly mock Song Jianjun.
Faced with everyone’s endless ridicule, Song Jianjun had no choice but to pretend he couldn’t hear in order to save himself.
"Grandpa Wang Hao, you are my real grandpa; I am your unfilial grandson. Please, you must save me this time!"
Since his face had already been lost, as long as he could avoid jail, he did not care about anything else.
"Hmph!"
Wang Hao just snorted coldly.
"Then tell me the truth, did you participate in bullying Manager Chen that day?"
"Yes! But..."
Now that he was in such a miserable state because of Wang Hao, Song Jianjun didn’t dare to lie. But as soon as it came to the matter of bullying Chen Hongying, Song Jianjun cowardly pointed the finger at Cheng Yin.
"It was him, he made me do it. Think about it, Manager Chen’s family members are martyrs in the military, and her family affairs are military-related. How could we ordinary people possibly know?"
"Cheng Yin told me all this, and he also arranged the whole event and process!"
Since Cheng Yin had ignored Song Jianjun’s plea for help earlier, Song Jianjun naturally wasn’t going to let him off easily, directly spilling all the details to Wang Hao.
"Don’t you dare talk nonsense!"
Cheng Yin, his face flushed with anger, thought to himself how he could have chosen to work with such a useless person, someone who would betray him at a crucial moment.
"I swear that everything I just said is true, and it was also Cheng Yin’s idea to prevent you from attending the auction. He even threatened the other herbal merchants who were attending."
"If anyone leaked the registration information to you, Cheng Yin said he would make sure to deal with those herbal merchants."
Song Jianjun thought, even if he died, he needed someone to cushion his fall. Since Cheng Yin was the first to break faith, he couldn’t blame others for not helping him.
"You bastard Song Jianjun, do you think you can take me down with just your one-sided story? Dream on!"
Cheng Yin scoffed, then turned to Wang Hao and added.
"I have no idea what this idiot Song Jianjun is talking about. It’s not my business if your Manager Chen was bullied. I don’t know and I’m not interested in who her family is or what happened to them."
Armed with his strong connections, Cheng Yin was not afraid of the mayor at all. Right now, he was just flat-out denying everything, which meant nobody could do anything to him.
"This man is truly shameless, a classic scoundrel!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted out, because there were other herbal merchants present when they insulted Chen Hongying that day, and they had witnessed the whole process of Chen Hongying being bullied.
They also realized that it was indeed Cheng Yin who orchestrated and instigated it all, and couldn’t believe Cheng Yin was still playing the rogue here.
Cheng Yin didn’t care what anyone else said at this point, he simply refused to acknowledge anything.
Seeing Cheng Yin being so shameless, Chen Hongying was also extremely angry. She never expected Cheng Yin to be so odious as to infuriate both gods and men.
But Chen Hongying was well aware of Cheng Yin’s powerful background and that she had no way to deal with him.
Yet, when she thought about how Cheng Yin and Song Jianjun had humiliated her that day, a sense of grievance welled up inside her, and tears began to swirl in her eyes.
She had long buried these matters deep in her heart because they were reminders of a heartbreaking past, and she didn’t want to mention them in front of others. But this time, they actually used it to cut her deep.
How could this not pain her heart?
At this moment, the subtle changes in Chen Hongying’s expression were all observed by Wang Hao. freēwebnovel.com
How dare they bully his woman, Wang Hao. He wouldn’t just let this go; the matter was far from over.
"That’s right. If you don’t acknowledge it, we really can’t do anything to you!"
Wang Hao shouted loudly. After successfully capturing everyone’s attention, he then spoke to Song Jianjun.
"Since my dear grandson you have sincerely apologized, I will not trouble you today. As the organizer of the Traditional Chinese Medicine auction, just cancel Cheng Yin’s eligibility to participate."
"Then, I will agree to put my own collection, the Earth Warden Star, up for auction at your event!"
"Song Jianjun, I warn you, you can’t cancel my eligibility, or I’ll make you regret it!"
Cheng Yin suddenly glared angrily, staring fiercely at Song Jianjun.
"Cheng Yin, haven’t you caused me enough misery this time? Even now, you still want to threaten me? No way!"
Under the threat of imprisonment, Song Jianjun was no longer afraid of Cheng Yin.
But at this moment, he still hesitated inwardly, so he turned his head to ask Wang Hao.
"Grandpa Wang Hao, what reason should I use to cancel his participation?"
"Just seeing him makes me uncomfortable. Isn’t that reason enough?"
Wang Hao said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Enough, it’s absolutely enough!"
Before Wang Hao, Song Jianjun didn’t dare utter a word of protest and immediately announced.
"I hereby announce the cancellation of Cheng Yin’s eligibility to participate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine auction, because my Grandpa Wang Hao finds him uncomfortable to look at!"
"Haha..."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this seemingly absurd reason.
"Mayor, are you going to let these people run amok here?"
At this moment, Cheng Yin couldn’t laugh. He never expected that the trap he had meticulously planned would be so easily foiled by Wang Hao.
Not only had Wang Hao foiled his plan, but he had also taken control of the whole situation.
In his helplessness, Cheng Yin could only turn to the mayor to plead his case.
"Song Jianjun is the organizer of the auction. It’s his right to cancel anyone’s eligibility. It’s not quite right for me to intervene,"
the mayor said, clearing his throat and speaking with righteous indignation.
Although Cheng Yin had a very powerful background, the mayor had also put in a lot of effort to ensure the successful hosting of the auction; he wouldn’t let all that go to waste just for Cheng Yin.
Moreover, he now felt that this young man, Wang Hao, was quite remarkable—not only was he in good standing with business tycoons like Chu Guoxiong, but he also had many rare and exotic treasures at his disposal, seemingly not someone to be trifled with!
"You..."
Cheng Yin never thought that even the mayor would take Wang Hao’s side at this point. He was so angry that he could burst into flames.
