Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1055: Face Smacking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bei Mingxuan was very confident of the outcome. After all, only Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu were present at that time. Although the rest were Hong Dali’s people, due to their lack of status, they would not be taken into account.

Hence, the situation was very obvious. Both Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu were from established influential families. Hong Dali was a prodigal who had just joined the family. It was evident whose words carried more weight.

Furthermore, for this operation, Bei Mingxuan had made a lot of preparations. He had sent people to watch the surveillance video at the mall and even erased it. He then had Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu reenact the whole thing to falsify the evidence.

So this time, his stand was practically infallible!

Otherwise, regardless of how powerful his Bei Family was, would he dare go there and denounce them publicly?

Sure enough, Hong Dali smiled as he looked at Bei Mingxuan. He laughed and said, “Well, you have torn up the book and taken a seat. You even brought so many people with you. However, don’t forget, there’s a surveillance video in the mall. We’ll know once we look at it, won’t we?”

Hearing that, the Hong family members immediately rejoiced. Yes, there were surveillance videos in the mall. They would know exactly what happened if they watched the video!

Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling looked at each other and said in unison, “Guards, go to the Jade Tree and get the surveillance video now!”

“Yes!” The guard left immediately.

Bei Mingxuan remained calm on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart. Humph, when they brought the surveillance video back, he would see what they had to say!

This time, he would completely destroy the Hong Family’s reputation!

Hong Dali, it’s all thanks to you. If not for you, it would be difficult for me to find such a good opportunity to come here and put them down. Haha!

Soon, the guard returned in a hurry. The holographic projection was turned on and everyone started to watch the holographic projection images.

After just a few seconds of watching, the Hong Family members’ expressions all changed!

First, they saw a young man holding on to Bei Yuanqing. The young man looked like Hong Dali, did he not? They saw Hong Dali pestering Bei Yuanqing to buy the book in his hands. Bei Yuanqing looked impatient, but Hong Dali refused to let Bei Yuanqing leave. In the end, Bei Yuanqing had no choice but to take out his bank card and transfer money to Hong Dali. After that, Hong Dali bowed subserviently. Then, Bei Yuanqing took a casual glance at the book that Hong Dali passed him. He threw it onto the ground and said something angrily to Hong Dali before leaving with his arm around Zhu Ningyu.

This concluded the holographic projection.

“Hahahahahaha!” Bei Mingxuan burst out laughing. His laughter was so loud the roof shook. “Hong Xingyu, what else do you have to say this time? You want to see me disgrace myself? We’ll see who is smacking whose face today!”

The Hong family members were instantly agitated. This time, they did not speak as softly. “This Hong Dali has completely disgraced us! He so shamelessly made others buy something from him!” “Isn’t that so. If he has no money to squander, he should just do some honest work. How can he do something so shameless?” “That’s right. This time, we have been completely disgraced!”

Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling frowned as well.

The location shown in the holographic projection was correct. Both Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu were in the projection, that was right too. The young man’s similarity to Hong Dali was at least 70% to 80%. Although there was something fishy about the whole thing, the real video was most likely erased by Bei Mingxuan and replaced by this video—Hong Dali had received 30 billion as compensation. There was no way he would do what was shown in the video for the sake of such a small sum of money. Of this, the old couple was very sure.

But, the problem now was that there was no proof. Even if the others wanted to say something, their statuses were not high enough—who would believe what the lackeys of the affected person say? Even if Hua Xiangyu wanted to say something, it was difficult. After all, it was obvious whose side she was on.

Tricky! This time, the matter was really tricky!

“Oh, Hong Xingyu,” said Bei Mingxuan proudly, “this is unexpected, this is unexpected. I think you are the most prestigious person in our Shenglong Royal Family. However, you seem to have finally ruined yourself in your old age and brought home such a prodigal. Alas, everything in life has a cycle. In the past, your Hong Family was infinitely prosperous. You were the most Royal among the Royals. You were the head of the top three families, how impressive was that? But in the future, I’m afraid it will not be so anymore, hahaha!”

“Bei Mingxuan.” Hong Xingyu had already calmed down. He gave Bei Mingxuan a dismissive glance and said, “It seems that you have been planning and waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. Seeing that I have grown old, and perhaps become less powerful, you took the chance to come here and trip us up, right? You even took the trouble to forge this video, that must have taken quite a bit of effort.”

“Forge? Just because you say that it’s forged, it’s forged?” Bei Mingxuan was extremely proud. He was really satisfied with what happened today. It was perfect. Using the 50 million as an excuse, he barged in and destroyed the book so there would be no evidence. Then, he would provoke the other party and then have them retrieve the video on their own. Every step was planned for.

The Hong Family would have its reputation in tatters when this matter was over.

Two major families had ganged up on them and yet, they would not get a chance to fight back because they were in the wrong. Even if they really did attack, with his and Zhu Yunzhou’s strength, he would probably win. If that happened, the Hong Family’s reputation would be further sullied.

Perfect! The entire plan could not be more perfect!

“Hahaha, yes,” said Bei Mingxuan proudly. “You feel humiliated, so you are angry. You will, of course, come up with all kinds of excuses. Well, it’s normal for you to want to preserve your Hong Family’s reputation. That’s fine. We will do it this way today. You said my video is forged. Even if you are right, everyone has already seen it, anyway. The truth is already clear in everyone’s hearts, there’s no need for me to explain further. Hahahaha!”

As they looked at Bei Mingxuan, everyone gritted their teeth with hatred.

This was bullying! He was climbing on their heads so blatantly, it was just too much!

Many of the Hong Family members had their fists clenched so tight, their nails were digging into their palms. Had they ever suffered such insult before?!

Hong Dali, this was all because of Hong Dali! This idiot who provoked the Bei family!

“Ahhhh, beautifully executed.” Suddenly, applause rang out. Hong Dali applauded and stepped forward. He stood in front of Bei Mingxuan, looked into his eyes, then laughed and said, “After suffering a loss, you managed to come up with a way to bite back so quickly. Furthermore, everything was executed so carefully. You are indeed worthy of being the head of a family. Amazing. Even I feel some admiration for you.”

“Hong Dali, didn’t you just say that you wanted to give me a slap in the face?” Bei Mingxuan crossed his legs and said arrogantly, “Some words may be uttered by insignificant little bugs, but they represent the master’s wishes. Some shameful things may be done by trash, but they must have received the instructions or acquiescence of the master. Even Hong Xingyu is nothing in my eyes. You are just a little brat, do you think I will fear you?”

Bei Mingxuan’s words were extremely unpleasant. Hua Yueling’s expression immediately changed and she got ready to attack but was stopped by Hong Xingyu.

Her little sweetheart may not be much, but he was definitely not one who liked to cause trouble. Since he dared to talk about giving Bei Mingxuan a smack in his face, and twice at that, he definitely had his own way of dealing with this.

“Watch quietly and act accordingly.” Hong Xingyu shook his head lightly.

Hua Yueling narrowed her eyes slightly, then stood still and looked at Hong Dali.

“Yes, well said.” Hong Dali grinned. Honestly speaking, he was neither scared nor angry. He just said leisurely, “I can think of a phrase that describes you exactly.”

“What is it?” Hong Xingyu asked cooperatively.

“Even old dogs have a few teeth.” Hong Dali looked at Bei Mingxuan in the eyes and said, enunciating every word and sentence clearly, “Originally, I could have made you take back everything you have said and done long before this. However, I’m really curious and want to see how far you will take this. Now, I see that it has exceeded my expectations. That’s okay. The more arrogant you are, the more exhilarating it will be for me when I finally slap you in the face.”

COMMENT

Amused by Hong Dali’s calm speech, Hua Xiangyu did not manage to suppress her laughter. She covered her mouth and suddenly laughed.

Even old dogs have a few teeth. That was an amusing saying.

Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei looked at each other, and the lackeys’ faces were all smiling.

That was because they knew that Bei Mingxuan was in big trouble.

Hong Dali had a nickname, Put-down-not. But, that was under ordinary circumstances. If he really got angry and put people down, there would be no end to it. There was no doubt about that.

“Actually, I already knew what you would do.” Sure enough, Hong Dali started to attack. “I had thought that since your Bei Family and our Hong Family are part of the three big families, I would not disgrace you too much. It turns out now that you are really asking for a slap in the face. So, don’t blame me. Well, since this is the case, I shall naturally do my best to fulfill your wishes and to avoid disappointing you, right?”

After saying this, Hong Dali shouted, “Xiaoyi, step out!”

“Young Master, Xiaoyi is here.” Ling Xiaoyi walked out of the crowd. She had a very gentle smile on her face, but her words sounded thunderous to Bei Mingxuan’s ears. “Young Master expected you to erase the surveillance video or fake it. After all, Young Master Yuanqing suffered such a big loss, it was unlikely he would let the matter rest just like that. So, Young Master instructed that I make a copy of the surveillance video in case it was needed. Now it looks like it has come in handy.”

As soon as Ling Xiaoyi finished talking, everyone was first silent, then the crowd erupted!

“Hahahaha! Good move! That video is really fake, hahaha!” “Like I said, even if he was short of money, he would not be so shamelessly stopping people from leaving.” “Yes, that’s right. Now that we have the real video, the truth will be known at a glance.”

Hong Xingyu slapped his thigh forcefully. “Dali, my child, haha. Beautifully done!”

Hua Yueling’s face was also full of smiles. “Little sweetheart, all my doting on you was worth it, haha.”

“So,” Hong Dali looked at Bei Mingxuan and said with a smile, “whose face is getting slapped? Are you ready? Xiaoyi, let’s get started. Keep away from the old dog who still has a few teeth in case it acts up and injures someone.”

Bei Mingxuan’s expression changed completely. It became extremely unpleasant.

Hong Dali not only kept the backup, he even reminded him that even if he wanted to kill this insignificant subordinate, he could no longer do it. He could not make any move at all. Any move from him would prove the fact that he was being unreasonable.

“Yes, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi stepped back with a smile. She stood beside Hong Xingyu, then turned on the holographic projection and played the video.

Soon, the images appeared.

In the video, Hong Dali led a group of people. The appearance of everyone was clearly visible, there was no faking it. The cause of the incident was also clear. Hong Dali was gambling at a treasure. Every time he identified an item, Bei Mingxuan sneered at it. His expression was rather wretched.

After a while, Hong Dali got the Wings of the Starry Sky helmet, and then he put it on Hua Xiangyu’s head without hesitation.

When everyone saw this, they knew without a doubt the video was definitely authentic—the helmet was now on Hua Xiangyu’s head!

Then, time passed. Soon, Hong Dali got the book and Bei Yuanqing desperately tried to buy it. He had his arm around Hong Dali’s shoulder and the expression on his face was fawning!

In the end, Hong Dali ran out of patience and finally agreed to sell him the book.

Finally, what was shown was Bei Yuanqing angrily rushing toward Hong Dali and throwing the book onto the ground after he saw its contents. Then, indignantly, he left with Zhu Ningyu.

The truth of the matter was finally out. Whoever dared to say that this recording was fake was definitely stupid!

Bei Mingxuan’s face went from white to red, from red to blue, from blue to green, from green to purple. A few more changes of color and he would be a rainbow...

At this time, he wished he had a hole to hide in.

He had gone to publicly denounce them and ended up being ridiculed. This last slap to the face was the final blow. This time, he had really disgraced himself, so much so that he was completely speechless.

“Well, I had planned to leave you a way out so we could at least be civil when we meet in the future.” To Bei Mingxuan, every word Hong Dali said was like a needle piercing his ears. “Unfortunately, some people simply refuse to give way and instead want to force others to the wall. As a result, I would be ashamed of myself if I did not put you down... ”

At this point, the truth of the matter had finally come to light. Hong Xingyu laughed. He was in a good mood. “Oh, Bei Mingxuan, it turns out that you make mistakes too. What a pity, what a pity. You took the initiative to come to our Hong family to ask to be put down. You should try harder next time, the more times, the merrier. Rest assured, I promise I won’t make things difficult for you. In the future, you can come at any time. Well, any excuse will do, hahahaha!”

Hua Yueling was smiling even more widely. She held Hong Dali’s hand up and said, “Our little sweetheart is great, haha, haha! He is even more thorough than I am!”

Hua Xiangyu’s beautiful eyes lingered on Hong Dali, her eyes were filled with stars.

Although Brother Dali could not cultivate any skills, he was still so powerful. As an ordinary person, he could embarrass Bei Mingxuan, the head of the Bei Family, so much that he could not even say a word!

Hua Xiangyu never thought that something like that could happen, much less hear about it.

Who said that you could not put someone down if you had no power? Brother Dali was an ordinary person, and there was no stopping him when he chose to put someone down. He would do it whichever way he wished!
