Chapter 124 Drive Me There!

At the police branch in the southwest region of Brentwood City, Christopher used a tea lid to move the freshly brewed tea leaves aside in the cup as he slowly blew on it. “Deputy Director Hughes, are you saying that you want to purchase my Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup as well?” Next to them was Jefferey, who merely stood beside Christopher in silence as he listened to the conversation between Christopher and Brian. At that moment, Peter was still trembling and lacked the courage to look at both Brian and Christopher. “Yes, I bet you also understand that once men are in their middle age, it’s quite... Anyway, I heard from a friend that he had an excellent experience after having your soup. The effects are obvious and they did not bring any harm at all!” With that, Brian nodded heavily just like how a chick would peck on grains on the ground. This time around, he was worried about displeasing Christopher. He was merely a deputy minister in this region, so he could not be compared to Noah, who was the director of the Department of Public Security. On top of that, Brian had a favor to ask of Christopher, so he figured it would be better for him to be more careful in their conversation. “This tea is great!”Upon hearing Brian’s words, Christopher remained silent and took a sip of the tea. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if he really enjoyed the tea. Around 10 seconds later, he opened his eyes as he spoke, “Alas, Deputy Director Hughes, I’m actually a rather nice person. However, your dear son even denigrated my family—my mom, in fact—when he was insulting me earlier. It happened more than once. What do you think I should do?” The expression on Christopher’s face did not change as he merely shot a glance at Brian. “Oh, and you also threatened me earlier, saying that I will be sorry for my actions. About this...” Thinking back about what had happened earlier, he looked slightly displeased and shocked. When Brian heard that, his face immediately darkened and blanched. If he knew that the person his son had provoked was Christopher, he would give Peter a few more slaps before Peter even said anything. Meanwhile, when Peter heard that, he looked as though he was doomed. He had never expected that he would meet someone so powerful that even his father was rendered speechless in front of the man. As soon as they arrived at the police station, his father had thrown another dozen slaps on his face while Christopher remained silent and watched the entire situation. It was only until Brian finished slapping him that Christopher started to speak. “However, it’s not impossible, Deputy Minister Hughes. My Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup will definitely attract some jealous people in the future. If you are willing to help me in disciplining those with bad intentions...” Christopher adopted a resting posture and he paused in the middle of his sentence. “Of course I’m free! I’m just the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. I’m not that busy!” Upon hearing Christopher’s words, Brian immediately revealed his joy. Before Christopher could even finish with his sentence, Brian immediately interrupted. When Christopher saw Brian’s expression, he thought that he had put on enough airs. As long as I achieve my goals, it’s enough. After all, that idiot Peter has already apologized and he has been beaten up by his father quite a lot. Brian has also relented to my request. I probably need to use his title in the future. After all, food-related issues are probably all related to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. “Alright, I’ve saved your phone number. We have already spent more than one hour here. I wonder whether Peter is free to send me to the Serenade. I’m just a poor man without even a single car,” Christopher said coolly and waved his hands at Peter. He looked like he had a favor to ask from Peter.In fact, there was a hidden meaning in Christopher’s words. I just want you, Peter Hughes, the son of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, to be my driver and send me back to the Serenade. Is he going to do that? Of course, he didn’t forget to give Peter a mocking expression. “Of course he will. He gave you so much trouble earlier. So, he should send you back. Right, Peter?” Worried that his incapable son, Peter, would say something shocking to annoy Christopher, Brian quickly kicked his son’s leg. “Of course! It’s my duty to do so!” After he heard the sarcasm in Christopher’s voice, Peter immediately returned to his senses. However, his lips twitched as he replied. I’m the son of the deputy minister of Commerce and Industry, yet I have to become a driver for a cook now? If this news is leaked to the public, I will be the laughing stock of everyone! However, he had no other way out. Since his father had already succumbed to Christopher’s wishes, there were truly no other options for him. With his hands behind his back, Christopher leisurely walked out of the police station. This time around, he had the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and his son, who respectfully trailed behind them. Apart from that, they also bowed and gave Christopher a warm smile. When he looked at Peter’s car, he took notice of the scratches and smiled. “Isn’t this Audi A7L? Sure enough, it’s pretty expensive. How much does it cost?” After he heard the question, Peter immediately walked to Christopher with a smile for the fear that he could annoy Christopher. “880 thousand. It’s not too exorbitant.” “It’s only 880 thousand. Yet, you dared to ask the driver to give you 150,000 as compensation for such a scratch? You are scamming people here! Isn’t that true, Director Reed?” As soon as he heard Peter’s reply, Christopher’s smile immediately disappeared as his face darkened in pretense. He looked at both Brian and Jefferey when he asked the question. The moment he heard that, Jefferey complained in his heart, If I agree with him, I will offend Brian. If not, I will offend Christopher. With that thought in his mind, he merely gave a smile. Peter, who was standing next to him, was on the verge of tears. Why did I give such a stupid reply? I should have said that it costs 1.88 million or 3.88 million! Why did I say it costs 880 thousand? I’m just looking for trouble myself! “Forget it. I don’t want to pursue this matter any further. Don’t you guys dare to find fault with the driver from earlier. Otherwise...” At this point, a genuine look of warning flashed in Christopher’s eyes as he spoke. “Of course, of course!” Brian forced an uncomfortable smile on his face and took a deep breath before he reassured Christopher, who nodded and entered the Audi A7L. After sinking onto the seat, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to take a rest. Peter froze upon seeing this. Even though his lips twitched, he did not dare to speak loudly and instead drove away. When they arrived at the Serenade, Christopher did not care about the hundreds of people there and proudly walked into the venue. Oh, could it be that Luna was so moved that she fell for me after I saved her beloved car yesterday? Seems like I’m getting increasingly attractive, he thought narcissitically. As expected, Luna did not blame him for being late. On the contrary, she smiled at him after noting his arrival. “Why are you late today? Did something happen?” There was concern etched in her melodious voice as she spoke through her cherry lips.
