Chapter 1057: Not Too Late

ook a closer look. The man standing beside Chen Hong looked a bit like Cai Shao Hua and Lü Li. 。Xiao Zheng still wanted to get a clearer look, but the taxi drove forward and he could no longer see it....Cao Guang and Xiao Zheng are very different. Cao Guang is the mayor of Yinzhou. 。They may not know Xiao Zheng, but they cannot not know Cao Guang; they may not care about Xiao Zheng, but they cannot but be intimidated by Cao Guang's authority. 。Cao Guang, the second-in-command of Yinzhou, was currently in power, holding great authority!

The four policemen investigating the case were merely surprised to see someone barging in; seeing a crowd of city police officers pour in and Xiao Zheng lift Li Qingcha up with their arm only caused a minor stir; it wasn't until they saw Mayor Cao Guang standing at the door, roaring a command, that they were truly shocked. 。These law enforcement officers, knowing the law yet breaking it, are nothing but using their superiors' tacit approval as a shield! But when a leader actually stands up and openly condemns their wrongdoing, these public officials all fall silent. 。Whether someone is powerful or not, there's one thing in common: when doing bad things comes with no cost or a very low cost, many people are more likely to take that step! However, when they know their actions will come at a heavy price, they will restrain themselves. 。So, many times, systems are used to regulate human nature. 。Now, the four investigators, seeing the head of public security barge in directly and the mayor scolding them personally, instantly lowered their flags and fell silent, not daring to move. 。Who doesn't know that doing this kind of thing is wrong It's just that no one comes to restrain and discipline them! Now that the angry leaders have arrived, these people have instantly transformed from wolves into lambs, almost without any resistance, waiting for the superior public security officers to handcuff and take them away. 。Throughout the entire process, both the municipal public security system and city-level news media connected to the legal system conducted photography and videography as strong on-site evidence! This way, these police officers would be unable to deny their actions. 。This time, accompanying Mayor Cao and Xiao Zheng was Xiang Buzi, the Deputy Director of the Yinzhang Municipal Public Security Bureau. The Director of the Yinzhang Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wu Jin, did not come. 。Cao Guang trusts Xiang Buzi, rather than Wu Jin. 。But when Xiao Zheng came to Cao Guang for help, Cao Guang still asked Wu Jin, the director of the municipal public security bureau, whether there were any disciplinary violations or illegal activities in the Xinyang District Public Security Bureau. Wu Jin denied it outright, saying that he always managed the public security system strictly, and the police officers all acted according to **procedure**, so there was no problem of disciplinary violations or illegality. 。Cao Guang immediately said, "Good, I understand." 。Wu Jin thought Cao Guang was just asking casually. He only called and reminded the Director of Public Security of Xingye District, Ying Jiu Feng, to be more careful when taking action. 。Ying Jiu Feng has always held absolute power in Xinyang District, never encountering any trouble and therefore never fearing anything. 。Therefore, no one took Bureau Chief Wu Jin's words seriously! Unexpectedly, after Cao Guang and Wu Jin said that, Cao Guang turned around and directed the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Xiang Buzi, to take action. Cao Guang even personally led the charge, straight into the Xingye District Public Security Bureau. 。Xiang Buzi and Cao Guang were high school classmates, but the two's relationship has always been kept low-key. Cao Guang previously served his superiors and knew that he would eventually take charge of a region, so his personal image was very important. Besides, Cao Guang's father is also a retired cadre, with strict family discipline, especially in dealing with classmates and friends, he always asked him to keep a low profile. 。So, even if Cao Guang became the mayor of Yinzhu City, he wouldn't go drinking with Xiang Buzi at bars. There were two times when Cao Guang invited Xiang Buzi to his home to have a family dinner with his father. 。Unexpectedly, his usual low-key demeanor has now become a clever move for Cao Guang. 。Even the Municipal Public Security Bureau Director Wu Jin didn't know that his deputy director Xiang Buzi had such a close relationship with Cao Guang! This completely caught Wu Jin off guard. 。After four police officers in the Xingye District were caught red-handed for misconduct, Xiang Youzu ordered his subordinates to arrest Ying Jiufeng, the director of the district public security bureau, on suspicion of tolerating their illegal activities. 。Subsequently, after briefly taking notes, Cao Guang allowed Xiao Zheng to take the frightened Li Qingcha back home first. 。For the rest, I'll leave it to Xiang Buzi to handle. 。Xiao Zheng extended his hand to shake Cao Guang's: "Mayor Cao, thank you very much this time." 。"Cao Guang smiled." 。This matter is also due to our shortcomings. 。Regarding the investigation results of Qingcha Clothing Factory, we failed to notify the relevant parties in a timely manner, which led to illegal law enforcement by the District Public Security Bureau. 。Of course, this is not a matter of work efficiency, but rather the complex relationships between the city's top officials. I hope Minister Xiao can understand. 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "I understand" 。Now that things have come to this, Mayor Cao has painted himself into a corner!

Cao Guang patted Xiao Zheng on the shoulder: "You're the one I should learn from in this regard. You need to be bold at critical moments!" 。Secretary Jiang values us so much, if we don't work harder, it would be a disservice to the leader's trust and expectations. 。"Xiao Zheng also smiled, it seems Cao Guang has already stood firm and made his attitude clear. Xiao Zheng patted Cao Guang's hand on his shoulder: "Mayor Cao, if there's anything you need me, Xiao Zheng, to cooperate with in the future, just say so!" Cao Guang nodded: "I won't be polite!"

Xiao Zheng turned to Li Qingcha: "Mr. Li, I'll send you back" 。Li Qingcha was still shaken, but she nodded nonetheless, then thanked Cao Guang: "Mayor Cao, thank you for coming to save me." 。"Cao Guang smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry to have scared you today." 。The municipal Party Committee and municipal government will give you a fair explanation! We hope that after we clarify the facts, punish the perpetrators severely, and bring criminals to justice, you can still stay in Yinzhou to start your business. 。Li Qingcha's fear hadn't subsided, she said: "Let's talk about it then." 。Cao Guang nodded. 。。This car belongs to Xiao Zheng. Cai Xiang, the driver, came from Xihe Tou to serve the leaders and Ren Yongle habitually sits in the co-pilot seat. Xiao Zheng sits on the left side of the back seat, and Li Qingcha sits on the right. 。Li Qingcha crossed her arms and grasped the lapel of Xiao Zhengfeng's windbreaker, wrapping her body tightly in it. Though she was only wearing a tattered skirt, she could still faintly feel the lingering warmth of Xiao Zhengfeng's body amidst the slight swaying of the car. 。Li Qingcha was moved inside. If not for Xiao Zheng today, she would have suffered terribly and had nowhere to cry out!

The outside world is far less safe than we imagine. In some places, as long as the sun doesn't shine, darkness will prevail; where laws can't reach, violence will surge. 。The struggle between good and evil, I'm afraid, will never cease. 。The only lucky thing about him was that he ran into someone like Xiao Zheng. 。Li Qingcha couldn't help but lean closer to Xiao Zheng, but only a little bit. She didn't want to trouble Xiao Zheng, nor did she want the people in front to feel embarrassed. 。Suddenly, Li Qingcha asked, "Minister Xiao, when you were at the hospital, didn't you say that you would come pick me up after work this afternoon You should have already passed five o'clock by then, past your quitting time." 。“Ren Yongle, who was sitting in the front seat, and the driver Cai Xiang were both taken aback. They glanced at each other and thought to themselves, 'Isn't Director Li a bit insensitive' Minister Xiao had been running around all afternoon for her, but now she is questioning Minister Xiao for being late Is this something that can be easily resolved

Both of them felt indignant on behalf of their leader, but Xiao Zheng turned his head and said with a slight smile: 'The official off-work time in the city is 5:30 pm, so I wasn't late.' " 。“Li Qingcha also smiled: "I see, I understand.” 。"With that, he looked out the window and said no more." 。Ren Yongle and Cai Xiang also looked at each other, a hint of smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of their mouths. 。As twilight descended upon the city of Yinzhou, it seemed poised to engulf it entirely. But just as darkness threatened to prevail, the twinkling lights flickered to life, pushing back the encroaching night and illuminating a sliver of hope within the cityscape. 。"Look, it's this late already!" Yang Guang's cousin, Liu Mingji, looked at Yang Guang and then at Li Qingci, saying, "Didn't that Minister Xiao promise before To get the qingcha out before work But now There's no phone call, and he's nowhere to be seen. Yang Guang, Qingci, Minister Xiao, he can't possibly do this!" "Don't underestimate Minister Xiao!" Li Qingci suddenly glared at Liu Mingji upon hearing this, saying, "Minister Xiao will definitely keep his promise." 。Liu Mingji also looked at him, without showing any weakness: "But it's long past work time now, the sky is already dark. What did he do If he had already saved your sister, he should have called you to take credit, right"

"What do you mean by taking credit Even though he is a leader from Jiangzhong, he has no obligation to help us" 。Li Qingci obviously felt that Liu Mingji harbored ill intentions towards Xiao Zheng, “This matter is not easy to handle.” 。Even if it's a little late, as long as he can save my sister, that would be the biggest help to us. 。"

Celadon, don't be too naive." 。"Liu Mingji said, "I am certain he really can't do it." 。Although he held the same rank as a government official, he was the Organization Minister of a poor mountainous region. This was Silver City, the provincial capital! Would anyone listen to him Moreover, this was the territory of the "Silver City Overlord," who had connections everywhere. What was Xiao Zheng, an Organization Minister from a remote mountain area, in this place

“I think you're nothing.” 。"Li Qingci, hearing this, suddenly flared up in anger. "Minister Xiao is our benefactor! He saved me and Yang Guang from 'The Mountain Road Tyrant'. Now he sees injustice and wants to help us save our sister. He is a benefactor! We have no choice but to trust him unconditionally and support him with everything we have. What else do we have I don't want to hear any slander against him! If you dare say another word about Minister Xiao, get out! Go back where you came from!"Li Qingci usually tolerated this cousin of Yang Guang, but today he dared to denigrate Xiao Zheng, and she couldn't stand it anymore! "Look, Yang Guang..." 。Liu Mingji immediately turned to his cousin for help, "What's your wife's attitude towards me Did I say something wrong If we contact that Minister Xiao again, it will be very dangerous!"Liu Mingji's words were quite vague, and Li Qingci didn't quite understand what Liu Mingji meant. However, Yang Guang understood. It was the same warning Liu Mingji had given her before, fearing that Li Qingci's heart would be captured by Xiao Zheng, and in the future, Li Qingci's heart would only belong to Xiao Zheng. 。This made Yang Guang feel a sense of crisis. He rushed to Li Qingci and said, "Qingci, you can't speak to my cousin like that! >>> 。"Regardless, he's still your cousin!" "He..." Li Qingci wanted to retort, but ultimately held back. After all, her husband was still lying in the hospital bed. 。lted a woman. So many people can testify. Why don't you detain the perpetrator according to procedures”Bao and Wang saw that it was Xiao Zheng, who they had been dining with at the same table just mom...
