The police quickly went to carry out Shi Feng's orders. Guoguo's mother glanced at Shi Feng, then at Luo Zheng, and for the first ti, she felt a weight off her shoulders, a heart full of worries inexplicably cald down. Luo Zheng noticed Guoguo's mother's concerns and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I may not be in Beijing often. If anything cos up, you can reach out to my young sister. She is my real sister, or you can find Director Shi."
"Right, if there's anything, co to . Your matters are my matters. Later, let's have a al together, I'll call those guys over to et with Sister-in-law. Even if I'm not here, they will take care of it." Shi Feng said quickly, looking at Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng did not directly agree and looked at Guoguo's mother. Guoguo's mother could tell that Director Shi genuinely respected Luo Zheng, and for soone like a director to show such respect, it was evident that this person in front of her was not simple. As a military family mber, Guoguo's mother understood the discipline and didn't ask questions when it wasn't necessary. After contemplating for a mont, not wanting to put Luo Zheng in a difficult position and thinking of Guoguo's future, she agreed: "Alright. It's a bit of a hassle for you."
"No hassle, no hassle." Hearing this, Shi Feng was delighted and imdiately started making calls to arrange things.
Not long after, a group of people hurriedly arrived. Among them was a man in an expensive suit, looking like a successful professional, followed by several burly n. Their deanor was striking. Luo Zheng quickly identified the newcors and saw Guoguo's mother's face turn pale, clearly recognizing these people too. He quickly whispered, "Don't worry. I'm here."
"They're not easy to deal with. They're the local tyrants here. Even the police can't do anything unless they arrest them all," Guoguo's mother whispered, terrified.
"Don't worry." Luo Zheng didn't say anything further, standing in front of Guoguo's mother, coldly looking at the newcors. It was Little Dao, personally pushing a tricycle, and next to him was Ghost Hand, with a grim expression.
Little Dao pushed the tricycle over to Luo Zheng, squeezing out an awkward smile and explaining awkwardly, "Hello, Leader. I genuinely didn't know about this. You asked soone to convey the ssage last ti, telling to stop charging managent fees, and I've canceled similar operations. But the bastards at the periphery are using my na to cause trouble. Ultimately, it's my mismanagent. Whatever punishnt you decide, I won't shirk." Little Dao said sincerely.
Luo Zheng looked at Ghost Hand, who nodded. Luo Zheng didn't want to make things too difficult for Little Dao, as he had helped him before and would be of use in the future, so he said, "Since that's the case, let's leave it at that. Be careful in the future, don't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. This is my sister-in-law, you know what to do from now on, right?"
"Understood, understood." Little Dao found relief as Luo Zheng chose not to pursue the matter and gratefully responded. He stepped forward respectfully and said to Guoguo's mother, "Hello, Sister-in-law. I'm Little Dao. If anyone blind enough dares to give you trouble, just use my na. It might have a bad reputation, but it still works against bad guys. I'll ensure to help you vent your anger."
"I wouldn't want to trouble you. Thank you." Guoguo's mother looked at the scene in surprise, hurriedly responding, her mind a bit overwheld, but she clearly understood that all of this was due to Luo Zheng. She looked at Luo Zheng gratefully.
"Who's carrying money?" Little Dao stepped back a few steps and shouted authoritatively. Those behind him quickly took out the cash they carried, which amounted to two or three thousand. Little Dao gathered it all, handing it respectfully to Guoguo's mother, saying, "Sister-in-law, a token of appreciation, take it as compensation. Please accept it."
"I can't accept this." Guoguo's mother quickly said.
Luo Zheng took the cash and waved them off, saying, "Alright, there's nothing left for you here. Go on."
Little Dao glanced at Ghost Hand, who waved his hand dismissively. Little Dao looked at Shi Feng, who nodded. Little Dao quickly led the people away. Ghost Hand stepped forward to Guoguo's mother and solemnly greeted her, "Hello, Sister-in-law."
"And you are?" Guoguo's mother looked at Ghost Hand, surprised. This series of dazzling events left her at a loss, not knowing what to do, so she turned to Luo Zheng.
"My brother, one of us." Luo Zheng whispered.
"There's soone handling this here, let's now leave." Shi Feng politely reminded.
"Director Shi, long ti no see." Ghost Hand looked at Shi Feng and smiled.
"Don't flatter , I'm older than you, call older brother if you want." Shi Feng said awkwardly, "Let's have a casual lunch to calm Sister-in-law and Guoguo's nerves. Together, okay?"
"Sounds good, why not? Let's eat with no pressure." Ghost Hand secretly glanced at Luo Zheng, seeing him nod discreetly, cheerfully agreed, and picked up.
Luo Zheng pushed the cash into Guoguo's mother's hand before she could react and said, "Let's go, have a al." Everyone knowingly dispersed, following Shi Feng toward the off-road vehicle. Guoguo's mother wasn't foolish; she understood Luo Zheng's smile. Glancing at Guoguo, she realized so nourishnt was indeed needed. Gratefully, she took the cash, and with her younger sister walking alongside, went up. As for the tricycle, a policeman would help manage it.
They arrived at a restaurant, entered a private room, where several of Shi Feng's capable right-hand n were already waiting. Recognizing Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand, they stood and greeted them. Several female officers offered newly bought stuffed dolls to Guoguo, trying to cheer her, but Guoguo did not take them, looking instead at her mom.
Guoguo's mother was uncertain about what to do, instinctively taking Luo Zheng as one of her own and looked at him. Seeing Luo Zheng nod, she promptly said, "Guoguo, thank the ladies."
Guoguo excitedly accepted the cute stuffed doll, crisply calling, "Thank you, ladies."
"Guoguo is so sweet." Everyone imdiately liked this sensible young girl.
Shi Feng arranged for everyone to sit and said to Luo Zheng, "I'm working, so I won't join you in drinking at noon. These few are not on duty today; they'll keep you company. Is that alright?"
"Sounds good." Luo Zheng couldn't refuse their kindness and agreed.
Soon, a flow of food and drinks ca. Luo Zheng introduced Guoguo's mother's identity in consideration of Guoguo being present, speaking discreetly. Yet, everyone there was keen and grasped the truth, respectfully raising their cups to Guoguo's mother, trying to cheer up Guoguo. Guoguo's mother saw her precious daughter laughing happily, the happiest she'd been in a long ti, which ward her inside. She turned to Luo Zheng, filled with gratitude.
At the dinner table, Shi Feng, obtaining consent from Guoguo's mother, let soone find an apartnt nearby the municipal bureau, convenient for work commutes—a new life. Guoguo's mother beca open to leaving previous things behind.
After the al, Shi Feng thoughtfully arranged for a female officer to accompany Guoguo's mother first, looked at the young sister, turned solemn, and whispered to Luo Zheng, "There's an extrely bizarre major case, the old criminal investigators in the bureau are baffled, even the Ministry of Public Security has no clue. Can we ask for your help to take a look?"
