Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 590

Chapter 590: Dali Was Kicked, Consequences Were DireTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What the f**k, he wanted to eat Lai Fu. That was an unforgivable sin!
Now that he had the entire village figured out, Hong Dali no longer had any worries. However, he heard from the villagers that the Village Chief had a gun, so he had to beware of him. Although he could be yielding or impenetrable as needed, he was unsure if he could block a bullet. Furthermore, he had Xinxin and Xiaoyi to worry about…
Therefore, Hong Dali decided to play nice first. He flung himself at the ruffian’s leg and held it tight. “Big Brother, Big Brother, please let our Lai Fu go. We have been together for so many years, supporting each other through tough times. I have always treated it like a family member. I really do not wish to have to be the elder one who has to send off a junior…”
Hong Dali’s attitude was sincere and pitiful, and anyone who had some sympathy would have given up. However, the ruffian gave Hong Dali a kick and spat. “Motherf**ker, you smelly beggar. You should be thanking your ancestors’ good fortune that I want to eat your dog. You better know your place. Argue with me some more and I’ll break your legs and throw you into the mountains! Damn!”
His kick was aimed directly at him, and Hong Dali did not expect that the ruffian would kick him as soon as he said he would. Before he had a chance to defend himself, he fell to the ground with a “oof”.
Hong Dali was kicked! Hong Dali actually got kicked!
Hong Weiguo’s expression was so dark it almost rained. He took out his smartphone and made a phone call. “Director Wang, I am Hong Weiguo. My son is getting bullied in He’an Village, He’an Town, Nanhe Province. It’s in your jurisdiction? How many people can you spare now? Okay, well, send as many as you can. I want the heads of those ruffians today!” One phone call was not enough. He made another call. “Bureau Chief Zhang, it’s me, Hong Weiguo. My son is getting bullied on your territory. Well, yes, put it all on the Hong family’s account! Okay, you have to help me out this time. Just let me know what you want in return. Okay! What is the most you can spare? Five hundred? Okay, five hundred it will be then! Yes, five hundred. Send them all!”
Everyone knew things were serious this time after they heard Hong Weiguo’s phone conversations.
Who was Hong Dali? He was the only heir of this branch of the Hong Family and he had an inherently weak constitution. Normally, he would just be fooling around and no one would bat an eyelid since he was mostly harmless. These few ruffians actually dared to kick him. If he became handicapped as a result, who would be responsible for it?!
Hong Weiguo was furious! Hong Weiguo was really furious!
They had the guts to provoke Hong Weiguo. If everyone had a fair competition, it didn’t matter who won and who lost in the end. But they actually dared to bully his Dali, the wrath of Hong Weiguo would descend on them!
Hong Weiguo was enraged. At least 90% of the Resource Chamber of Commerce members were on his side—whether openly or covertly, phone calls were being made immediately for various types of support. At their level, everyone knew someone who had the authority to send help. Internal strife in the Resource Chamber of Commerce was called resolution in the business world, but when it came to dealing with outsiders, things were not so simple. They would definitely unite against a common enemy, crushing them as one!
“Hello, Old Zhang. It’s like this. I have a friend, his name is Hong Weiguo. Yes, he’s the president of Sangle. The company that was just restructured. Well, his son was beaten up. Can you send some people over? Okay, send as many as you’ve got! Hurry, you must hurry!”
“Hello, Mayor Lu, are you busy? Ah? Oh, it’s like this. I have a business partner named Hong Weiguo. Yes, the president of Sangle. His son was kicked by someone. The location is not far from you, so send some men over. Send as many as you’ve got. Well, yes, yes. It’s the prodigal Hong Dali. Thirty helicopters filled with soldiers? Haha, good. It’s a big enough situation. I’ll treat you to drinks when I get back!”
“Haha. Director Niu, I’ve not seen you for a while. Yes, I need you to help me with something. Hong Weiguo’s son, Hong Dali, is in your area. Yes, it’s the prodigal Hong Dali who has been in the limelight a lot recently. He is in Zhengzhou? Hahahaha, this brat probably has a stand-in. He is now in He’an Village, the village which the Eleventh Society wanted to give aid to. Well, he was bullied over there. Director Niu means to send twenty helicopters? Deal, they must go quickly!”
Hundreds of calls like these were made by the members of the Resource Chamber of Commerce. In the end, Hong Weiguo had no idea exactly how many people everyone sent. One thing was for sure, however—it was more than enough!
As the Resource Chamber of Commerce was calling for reinforcements, the people at the Tianhai Military District did the same.
A large number of officers had left, but not all—so these people, too, started making phone calls.
As a result, all the garrisons within three hundred kilometers around He’an Village in Nanhe Province were activated. All the police officers and urban law enforcement officers headed there. In short, anyone who could go went!
That was Hong Dali. The Hong Dali who donated two billion yuan!
His social standing was evident. Thirty-four provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, each donated five hundred million yuan to coordinate the rescue effort! How much respect did they have for him?!
A person like that was kicked. kicked by a ruffian!
Who got kicked? The pride of the entire Heavenly State got kicked. Who could tolerate that?
So, therefore, then, finally… Anyway, this matter was a really big deal!
…
Nanhe Province, located in the Central Plains of the Heavenly State, an area heavily contested in history by military families in the Heavenly State. There was naturally a rather large garrison here.
Who were the people in the Resource Chamber of Commerce? They were the cream of the crop, the most powerful people in the financial circles. Together with the officers from the Tianhai Military District Headquarters, the amount of power such a group wielded was terrifying!
…
Fengkai City, the Communication Regiment of the Heavenly State military in Nanhe Province.
The emergency fall in bell rang. Within two short minutes, everyone had gathered!
Five hundred elite soldiers!
The commanding officer of the military region stood in front of the troops. He said gravely, “Breaking news. The number one philanthropist in the Heavenly State, the prodigal, Hong Dali was beaten up by some people at He’an Village, He’an Town. The orders from above are to ensure Hong Dali’s safety at all costs. Set off immediately!”
“Yes, Sir!”
…
Shanque, Nanhe Mountain, Heavenly State’s Artillery Brigade, Fourth Artillery Regiment.
The soldiers stood at attention, but they were still confused as to why they had been asked to gather. Soon, the commanding officer arrived and announced loudly: “Hong Dali was beaten up by a ruffian in He’an Village, He’an Town. Our superiors have ordered us to ensure Hong Dali’s safety at all costs. We will set off immediately!”
…
Yangshuo, South River, Heavenly State’s Air Defense Brigade.
“Destination, He’an Village, He’an Town, set off immediately!”
…
Onboard a helicopter which was headed towards the town of He’an, there was much discussion among many of the soldiers—
“Hong Dali actually got beaten up. Who is so blind? That’s the Hong Dali who sincerely does charity for the good of the people. Someone had the guts to beat up a person like that?”
“Right? At the hospital in Fuzhou, Hong Dali helped Little Deng Jiayun sincerely. I saw the report. I even donated five hundred yuan!”
“What about the baby with the blisters? Hong Dali did not even contact any reporters. He simply went straight there. If the Eleventh Society had not shown up there with reporters, we wouldn’t have known that he did something good there. Someone actually dared to beat up someone like that. He must be sick of living. Brothers, we must take revenge for Young Master Dali when we get there!”
“That’s for sure!”
…
Several big cities around He’an Town.
On the highway, countless police cars, urban law enforcement cars, and military vehicles were traveling at speeds approaching one hundred and twelve miles per hour. They only had one purpose—to reach Hong Dali’s side as soon as possible!
No matter what, anyone who dared to kick Hong Dali deserved to die. It would not be an exaggeration to say that whoever did it was digging his own grave!
Who was Hong Dali? Who didn’t know him in the entire Heavenly State? He was a real philanthropist who helped the common people!
He called himself a prodigal, but so what if he was a prodigal? He had a reason to squander. He earned the love of everyone by squandering!
He squandered for the sake of the people. The way he did charity was completely different from the way the Eleventh Society did charity. If they did not help a person like that, who would they help?
…
Countless people flocked to the little He’an Village by air and land. In the meantime, where Hong Dali was, in response to what the ruffian said and the fact that he had actually attacked Hong Dali, Ling Xiaoyi threw all caution to the wind and rushed towards him. The ruffian looked like he would not give up unless he got to eat Lai Fu and, since Hong Dali’s safety was of the utmost importance, Ling Xiaoyi dashed towards him at lightning speed.
She had fought when she was negotiating with Ko Gohon and realized then that the condition of her body was a little unusual. Her coordination skills seemed stronger than before. With this discovery, Ling Xiaoyi underwent specialized training together with the nine lackeys. It was actual situational training that was completely different from Hong Dali’s usual coddled lifestyle. On top of that, she had maxed stats. She defeated the three ruffians in just a few moves. As she helped Hong Dali to his feet, she asked gently, “Young Master, are you okay?”
“Ah, haha, haha.” Hong Dali patted his backside nonchalantly. “I was a little careless just now. An accident, just an accident. Haha, haha. I’m fine, though. What could happen to me?”
He could be yielding or impenetrable, depending on the situation. He also had maxed stats. It was just a kick, so naturally, he was fine. He was just careless.
Ling Xiaoyi did not go easy on the three ruffians. The three ruffians laid on the ground crying for help. “Murder! Revolt! Village Chief Wang, come quickly!”
Tang Muxin had arrived by now. She had witnessed them kicking Hong Dali with her own eyes and rushed at them with a brick she had picked up from somewhere. The little lass was usually cheerfully chatting with Hong Dali and did not seem to have any special skills. However, she, too, was extremely protective of Hong Dali. She would not forgive anyone who dared to bully him!
When Tang Muxin saw Hong Dali getting kicked, she reacted more violently than usual.
“How dare you kick Hong Dali!” Tang Muxin eyes were wide as saucers. She stomped over and smashed the man’s leg with the brick. “What did you say just now? Whose leg did you want to break?!”
