Chapter 607 - 607 Xu Yang’s Accusation

As soon as Xu Yang’s words were out, the scene instantly exploded.

“What, accuse Harbor City?”

“Why accuse Harbor City?”

“Could it be that Xu Yang has suffered some unfair treatment in Harbor City?”

“Impossible, Mr. Xu is a billionaire, even the Family Heads of the Eight Great Families have to show him some respect.”

“Yeah, how could someone like him receive unfair treatment?”

“Don’t guess, just listen to what Mr. Xu has to say.”

…

The reporters were surprised, but also very excited.

Whatever Xu Yang accused Harbor City of, it was definitely a huge piece of news.

A billionaire accusing a city was a very sensational topic.

“I want to accuse Harbor City of regional discrimination, represented by the Sun Family, and particularly Sun Hongyang, who have discriminated against me,” Xu Yang said gravely.

Everyone listened and became even more excited.

The Sun Family was one of the Eight Great Families of Harbor City, and Sun Hongyang was the third son of the Sun Family.

A billionaire from the mainland accusing the third son of the Sun Family of discrimination in front of the media was news more intriguing than celebrity feuds.

“Mr. Xu, can you tell us how Sun Hongyang discriminated against you?” Liang Junhao asked.

“He said their family was a gentleman’s family ennobled by the Eagle Country Empress, possessing noble lineage. He called me a ‘bumpkin from the mainland,’ saying that no matter how rich I was, I couldn’t compare to even one of his fingers. Is this not discrimination?” Xu Yang said.

“This is indeed discrimination, but Sun Hongyang is notorious in Harbor City for his low quality. It’s very normal for him to discriminate against you, just like it’s normal for a scumbag to abandon a woman,” Liang Junhao said.

Sun Hongyang indeed had a bad reputation in Harbor City, with his scandalous news popping up almost daily, whether being caught sleeping with some celebrity or bullying someone.

For such a person to discriminate against others was quite normal.

Discrimination is a moral issue and not against the law.

Sun Hongyang was already without morals, a scumbag; even if you blasted him, it would be useless, as he couldn’t be sanctioned legally.

“If it were just this scumbag discriminating against me, I wouldn’t go so far as to accuse the entire Harbor City,” Xu Yang said gravely.

“Mr. Xu, are there other reasons?” Liang Junhao asked further.

“Yes,” Xu Yang nodded.

“What reasons?” Liang Junhao pressed.

“The reason is that the public safety in Harbor City is very poor. If it weren’t confirmed as our Huaxia territory, I would have thought I’d come to the Middle East, only cities in the Middle East could have such poor safety,” Xu Yang said.

Hearing this, the reporters all frowned.

“Mr. Xu, could there be some misunderstanding? If you say that the public safety in Harbor City was poor in the sixties or seventies, we don’t deny it. But ever since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the public safety in our city has gradually improved. Especially now, Harbor City is one of the safest cities in Asia, ranking high globally.”

“Especially after ’97, with the support of the country, our Harbor City’s public safety has continued to improve, and our citizens’ morale is very high. We may not go as far as ‘roads unguarded, homes unlocked,’ but it is definitely a city brimming with a sense of security. How can the safety be poor?”

“Mr. Xu, as people of Harbor City, we feel the city’s good public safety every day deeply. When you say Harbor City has poor public safety, we cannot agree.”

“Not only can I not agree, but I also cannot understand. Mr. Xu, if you don’t make things clear, I have reason to suspect that you are defaming our Harbor City.”

“Right, even if you are worth hundreds of billions, you can’t slander our Harbor City.”

“…”

These journalists were from Harbor City, they knew what Harbor City was like.

Now, Xu Yang, this wealthy tycoon, was claiming that the public order in Harbor City was poor, and they couldn’t accept this; naturally, they wanted to defend their city.

“How secure Harbor City really is, is something I’ve experienced firsthand. Let me tell you about it slowly.”

“Last night, there was a gathering at the Weiden Hotel in Harbor City, which both my friend Wang Xiaocong and I attended.”

“At the gathering, Wang Xiaocong went to chat with friends, and I, knowing no one, stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the night view of Harbor City.”

“Later, I met Song Qingya, the heiress of the Song Family. She was as brilliant as she was beautiful, and I enjoyed talking with her.”

“We discussed some business matters, including her desire to bring Haidilao to Harbor City by opening a franchise.”

“I told her that Haidilao operates on a direct management model and doesn’t offer franchises.”

“She was disappointed, but still urged me to bring Haidilao to Harbor City quickly, and I promised her that I would do so as soon as possible.”

“Beyond that, we talked about other business and life topics and became friends.”

“But my conversation with her caught the eye of a certain individual, Sun Hongyang.”

“Sun Hongyang is narrow-minded, even to the point of being psychologically disturbed. He was obsessed with Song Qingya, who paid him no mind, yet he treated her as if she was his woman and wouldn’t allow her to interact with any other men.”

“Seeing me laughing and chatting with Miss Song, he became extremely angry. After finding me, he made discriminatory remarks towards me and personally attacked me.”

“Fortunately, I’m rather civilized and responded to him with justifiable verbal self-defense. His assault failed, and he was the one who ended up embarrassed.”@@novelbin@@

“His brother, Sun Honghai, saw that he had lost face and came over arrogantly, saying that I had bullied his brother. He wanted me to give him face and not to take his brother’s actions to heart.”

“But for someone who twisted the truth like that and spoke down to people, I naturally wasn’t about to give him face.”

“He then ordered his bodyguards to beat me up, saying they were going to teach me a lesson and let me know the dignity of the Sun Family was not to be insulted. Sun Hongyang even clamored about killing me.”

“Luckily, I exercise regularly and have learned some martial arts, so I was no pushover. In self-defense, I knocked down both of Sun Honghai’s bodyguards.”

“The Sun brothers couldn’t do anything to me, so they left.”

“After they left, Sun Honghai harbored a grudge against me and went to seek out a big shot from the 15K, intent on having me killed.”

“Many might not know this, but Sun Honghai is a member of the 15K gang and also a financial backer, supporting its operations.”

“He sought out the 15K boss to have me killed, but the boss knew I was worth hundreds of billions and understood that killing me would have a huge impact, so they would be doomed as well.”

“Thus, settling for second best, Sun Honghai spent thirty million to have me crippled.”

“As Sun Honghai was a financial backer for 15K, their boss could not refuse and agreed, sending their top enforcer Xue Dalong to break my leg.”

“They waited outside the hotel all night, and by this afternoon, when they still hadn’t seen me leave, they located the hotel manager, who was also a member of the 15K.”

“The hotel manager let them dress up as wait staff and led them into the hotel, right to my room.”

“What they didn’t expect was that I could handle myself quite well; they were no match for me, and I took them all down.”
