"Lin Feng, why did you ask to co over?" Leng i asked Lin Feng. Now that she was here, she needed to clarify what exactly Lin Feng wanted to do.
"I need you to stay here for a while and make sure no one arrests the person inside!" Lin Feng didn’t beat around the bush; he straight-up revealed the reason he had called Leng i over.
"What? You want to stay here and watch?" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Leng i felt confused; she couldn’t quite grasp the aning. What did he an by asking her to ’stay here and watch for a while’? Why would he say sothing so out of the blue?
"The patient inside is one of my relatives, who got into trouble with Liu Nan and ended up like that. We have to go to your father, so I called you here to block Liu Nan, to prevent him from causing trouble while we’re away." Lin Feng didn’t want Leng i to be perplexed, so he elaborated on the situation in detail.
"Liu Nan? Pest Liu?" Leng i was sowhat surprised. How on earth did they get entangled with this Pest Liu?
"Yes, that’s him," Lin Feng confird.
"All right, I’ll stay here; he wouldn’t dare to co in. You can go without worrying," Leng i said, understanding the situation. She casually found a seat in the ergency departnt and sat down, signaling to Lin Feng that they should hurry with their affairs.
"Thank you."
Lin Feng said a word of thanks, and then he and Zhou Yang exited the ergency departnt and rushed toward the city governnt building.
Zhou Yang was driving, but his mind was occupied with who exactly Lin Feng was, to make Mayor Leng’s daughter so readily agree to help him. This was impressive...
The car pulled up at the entrance of the city governnt, where they were stopped by the security guard.
"May I know if you are Mr. Lin Feng?" the guard at the entrance asked.
"I am," Lin Feng answered the guard’s question.
"Mayor Leng is waiting for you in the office on the 7th floor. Please co in!" The guard imdiately opened the gates, allowing Lin Feng and his companion to enter the city governnt courtyard.
While Lin Feng remained unphased, Zhou Yang was deeply impressed by the city governnt security guard. He had been here before to deal with so business, and even showing his work permit was ineffective; he had to wait for greeting from an inside staff mber to be allowed entry, along with registration and other formalities.
Today they were let in without even a registration, which certainly ant Mayor Leng had previously instructed to do so. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have been handled so swiftly.
That ant Mayor Leng took Lin Feng very seriously to have given such a heads-up. The detail might seem trivial, but in reality, it was a privilege not extended to just anyone. What kind of influence did Lin Feng have that made Mayor Leng offer such treatnt to a young man? It seed even Liu Jilong wouldn’t enjoy such a privilege!
The only thing Zhou Yang could be sure of was that Lin Feng’s relationship with Mayor Leng’s family was far from simple; otherwise, none of today’s events could be explained. What exactly was Lin Feng’s relationship with Mayor Leng, and could he persuade the mayor to intervene in this matter?
With a nervous heart, Zhou Yang followed Lin Feng to the door of Mayor Leng’s office.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Lin Feng tapped lightly on the door three tis.
"That must be Lin Feng. Co on in!" Leng Junsheng’s voice ca from inside.
Hearing Leng Junsheng’s voice, Lin Feng pushed open the door and took Zhou Yang into the Mayor’s office.
"Lin Feng, co and sit down," Leng Junsheng said, recognizing Zhou Yang but wondering why Lin Feng had brought him. He courteously offered them seats.
"Mayor Leng, I’ll be troubling you with today’s matter," Lin Feng said without sitting down, knowing that if he could get Leng Junsheng to step in, the issue could be easily resolved.
"Mayor Leng, hello!" Zhou Yang greeted him with so nervousness. It was his first ti speaking so closely with Mayor Leng—how could he not be anxious!
"How can I help you if I don’t know what’s going on? Sit down and talk," Leng Junsheng said, looking at Lin Feng. He was quite pleased with him, noting his ability to remain calm and unexcited in the face of any situation—like a seasoned general—and his knack for striking the heart of the matter, forcing one to agree. He had laid out the grand schema, making it a favor that could not be refused.
No wonder his father and ii held him in such high regard. To find a young person of this age who could do what he does was truly rare, practically non-existent! Lin Feng lacked the impetuousness usually found in his peers, seeming as if he did not belong to his age at all, appearing unusually mature.
Prior encounters had been in the hospital, but seeing Lin Feng now, it was clear that his future was boundless.
"I’ve already spoken about the general situation over the phone, let Deputy Director Zhou explain the specifics," Lin Feng said as he pushed Zhou Yang forward. He had brought Zhou Yang with him to Leng Junsheng to give the rootless deputy director an opportunity to cling to Leng Junsheng’s influential branches. Once Zhou Yang beca Leng Junsheng’s man and with Zhou Yang’s capabilities, there would be no issues in his promotion.
This ti Leng Junsheng did not speak. He sat on the sofa, looking at Lin Feng with surprise. Under his own imposing presence, how was Lin Feng able to remain so calm? Most young people would have lost their ability to speak already, yet Lin Feng was unaffected, speaking clearly and logically, showing no sign of being influenced by him. Although Lin Feng was a university professor and highly skilled in dicine, he was still ultimately a young man. How did he manage to do this?
The more he observed Lin Feng, the more satisfied he felt. Such young people with the deanor of a general were becoming increasingly rare. To catch a glimpse and know the whole, this young man would surely not remain a hidden gem!
Furthermore, by pushing Zhou Yang out at this ti, there was no doubt that Lin Feng intended to offer Zhou Yang to him. Since Lin Feng had brought Zhou Yang alone, it showed that he must be one of his own, without any need to worry about anything. He would wait and see the situation first. If there was a chance to help, he would do it for the sake of Lin Feng’s face.
"Mayor Leng, the specific situation is this: Lin Dongchen has a daughter nad Lin Jie, who is a classmate of Liu Nan. Liu Nan, coveting Lin Jie’s beauty, found an opportunity to get close to her father Lin Dongchen. After winning Lin Dongchen’s favor, he set a trap, trying to coerce Lin Dongchen into offering Lin Jie in exchange for a business deal. When Lin Dongchen resisted, he was severely injured and barely survived, now left with one damaged eye," Zhou Yang reported earnestly to Leng Junsheng, his many years as a policeman allowing him to articulate the key points clearly.
Zhou Yang knew very well that Lin Feng had given him an opportunity that cos once in a lifeti. By bringing him here and specifically having him give a brief report, the intention was to connect him with Mayor Leng. Such a trendous stroke of luck was sothing he could not even have dread of, let alone imagined—the chance to be associated with Mayor Leng, an influential figure!
Although I was capable, these years, without any backup or connections, I’ve had a hard ti moving forward within the City Bureau. Stumbling all along, I’ve made it to where I am today. To be honest, I’ve felt too aggrieved and suffocated. If I can successfully hitch a ride with Mayor Leng this ti, my future path will be much smoother.
Therefore, I must do well in this report and make a good impression on Mayor Leng. Only then will it be possible for Mayor Leng to take under his wing!
"Later, Liu Nan went to the police station to report that Lin Dongchen had intentionally injured soone. He brought two police officers and blocked the entrance to the ergency departnt, demanding Lin Dongchen. Lin Dongchen was already half-dead. If Lin Feng and I hadn’t been there blocking them, Lin Dongchen would have definitely been forcibly taken away. If he had been taken away by them, his chances of living would not have been good," Zhou Yang added details about the incident in the hospital, which was precisely the current point of contention. Even if Lin Dongchen didn’t press charges against Liu Nan, Liu Nan, the attacker, wouldn’t let the injured Lin Dongchen off the hook. That’s why he and Lin Feng had co to Mayor Leng, hoping Mayor Leng would intervene to resolve the matter.
"So, what do you two want to do?" After listening to Zhou Yang’s report, Leng Junsheng carefully considered the situation. The matter had escalated to this point. Lin Feng and Zhou Yang had co to him, clearly seeking his help in addressing the issue. But what exactly was their plan for resolution?
"To solve this troubleso matter, we definitely need to get Liu Nan and his son in line. But the father and son duo won’t easily spit out their words, and what’s more important is that they have the surveillance footage in their hands. They’re even less likely to let Lin Dongchen off the hook." Zhou Yang felt helpless. The situation was very unfavorable given the existence of the surveillance video. This was a passive position that made it almost impossible even for him to advocate for peace. Liu Nan was soone who, without any justification, would still demand a third of an argunt. And given that he now had a valid point, he wouldn’t be satisfied until he had taken soone down.
"Liu Jilong isn’t soone easy to talk to; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in his position for so long." After hearing what Zhou Yang had to say, Leng Junsheng deliberated internally. Liu Jilong had been in Tianhai City for so many years and nobody had managed to bring him down. That was no accident. Now, to take him out of the equation wasn’t going to be easy. It wasn’t only about Liu Jilong but also the groups behind him, and laying hands on such stakes wasn’t straightforward.
"Lin Feng, what’s your take on this?" Leng Junsheng then passed the buck to Lin Feng, intending to probe his attitude. He wanted to understand what they intended to do and also to ascertain Lin Feng’s genuine thoughts on the matter.
"Lin Dongchen’s family are my relatives; they definitely can’t afford to have more trouble. Moreover, Liu Nan is targeting my sister Lin Jie. To resolve this, we need to knock Liu Nan back to his original form once and for all!" Lin Feng thought for a mont and made his stance clear. Without completely uprooting the problem, he would always worry about Lin Jie. Who knows what crazy things the powerful Liu Nan could do? If he did sothing to Lin Jie while Lin Feng was absent, regret would be too late.
"Knock Liu Nan back to his original form? Easier said than done," Leng Junsheng pondered Lin Feng’s words. Knocking Liu Nan back to his original form ant taking down Liu Jilong, and he was talking about it so subtly. Was Liu Jilong that easy to deal with? Had he been easy to deal with, Leng Junsheng would have acted long ago, not waited until now.
However, Lin Feng’s analysis was correct. With Liu Nan’s notorious nickna of Pest Liu, it’s evident how arrogant the father and son were. To truly deal with the problem of Liu Nan, you’d indeed need to take Liu Jilong down. Otherwise, the issue couldn’t be resolved. As long as Liu Jilong held his position for even a day, Liu Nan would continue to cause trouble in Tianhai under his protection. It was a Gordian knot.
But Liu Jilong wasn’t easily swayed. Without concrete evidence against him, there would be no threat, and one might even risk getting dragged down too. So, handling Liu Jilong required utmost caution.
