Chapter 1164 Teach Them A Good Lesson (Part Two)
"You are absolutely right. Thank you for reminding me, Major General. I will do just as you say," said Mr. Yi promptly. He read between the lines and understood what Kevin wanted. At the same time, he realized that Kevin's words had also addressed his concerns. He could now punish those guys without any fear. He shouldn't be scared of being blamed by his superiors anymore as it was Kevin, the Major General, who commanded him. That was everything that he needed to save himself. Mr. Yi was an absolutely clever and sophisticated man, he would not be in this high position otherwise.
"Great. Now, Mr. Wang, could you please take a look at the scene and see who should be responsible for this accident?" Kevin then turned to Mr. Wang and asked. He had actually seen right through Mr. Yi and knew that he wanted him to be held responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom. However, he was ready to bear those consequences since he really wanted to teach those young guys a lesson.
"It couldn't be more obvious. It was all this BMW's fault. Don't worry, Major General, we will get your Ferrari fixed as soon as possible. We guarantee your satisfaction." Mr. Wang replied with a huge smile once he was called. He was well aware of how powerful Kevin was as a Major General. Even with his prestigious family background aside, Kevin was still much more powerful than him in the hierarchy. It was given that Kevin's power was limited to the military jurisdiction and his to administrative jurisdiction. Nonetheless, it was more likely for the mayor to treat the military with humble respect if they would ever clash. Thus, it was just natural for a small potato like him not to dare act presumptuously before Kevin.
"Yes, yes. You see, Major General, we are sensible men and can tell right from wrong. You can be sure of that," Mr. Yi echoed, bowing and scraping. He bit his lip. It was true that he got very upset and disappointed about what his son had done, but as a father, he didn't have the heart to see him suffer when being punished. It was the reason why he was trying his best to calm Kevin down. He could only hope that Kevin would not be too hard on those young men.
"I'm glad to hear that. Seems that I don't have to tell you what to do next. By the way, is he your son, Mr. Wang?" Kevin asked as he shot a glance at one of the guys. "I'm sorry but I accidentally broke his arm just now. Could you please get him treated before putting him into detention? Sorry for all the trouble." Kevin said those things on purpose. Superficially, he was talking about the broken arm. However, what he wanted to stress was that he wanted those guys to receive detention and nothing less. He was sure that Mr. Yi and Mr. Wang were clever enough to figure it out. They wouldn't dare practice favoritism and bring their sons home later on unless they didn't want their positions anymore. Honestly, detention was not even enough if he would consider all their evil deeds. They should be put behind bars for one or two years to make sure that they learned their lesson.
"Thank you for disciplining my son for me, Major General. I will make sure that he reflects on his mistakes," said Mr. Wang as he wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. 'Thank God that he has only broken his arm', he even thought. He knew that even if his son was crippled by Kevin, he had to shed tears of gratitude no matter what.
"Don't thank me for that. You know he has laid a finger on someone he is never supposed to. Call me when the car is done. As for the broken cellphone, well... just forget about it since you have to pay a lot for the car repairs." Kevin said with a smirk. He knew that these officials were only acting humbly because of his high status. They wouldn't have acted this way if it were just some civilians that their sons had bullied. He knew how widespread was this type of injustice nationwide and he was extremely sad that he couldn't change it by himself. The farthest he could do was to change the ambiance around him but things in other places were beyond his reach.
"Sure, sure. We will. We can guarantee that the car will be as good as new soon. Thank you for your understanding." Mr. Wang responded while looking at the floor. He was too afraid to meet Kevin's gaze.
"Mr. Yi, tell the mayor to take things up with me if he has any complaint. I don't think that he would spoil his son and disapprove the punishment after all." Kevin said as he looked at the mayor's son. Then he shook his head disappointedly and sighed. The young man came from a prominent family, he was very likely to have a promising future if he studied hard and behaved. It was a pity that he chose to violate the law. 'There must have been something wrong with how his family educated him. I would definitely break my son's leg if he acts this way, 'he thought.
This was Kevin's idea about education and parenting, and he had put it in practice in the future. That was the reason why his future son would both fear and look up to him. Nonetheless, it was also the same thing that would enable his only son to surpass his achievements at a very young age.
"I totally agree. I will absolutely explain all of this to him," said Mr. Yi as he nodded. However, he was actually moaning in his head. He did plan to explain to the mayor but he didn't have the guts to tell the whole story as exactly as it happened. He would need to choose his words very carefully later to ensure that the mayor would take things well.00000
