Chapter 87 Green Tea Bitch
Jin Ziming sternly rebuked Jin Lei. Others might not know, but he knew how he had risen to the position of police chief. It was Director Du who ordered the arrest of this young man before him. A mysterious bigwig in the capital intervened, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the National Security Bureau, and the mysterious 709 team came to thoroughly investigate Xi'an. The once arrogant Qiao family was wiped out in a single day, the police station underwent a major reshuffle, the top official of Xi'an wrote a self-criticism, and even Zhang Qian's father was implicated and summoned for questioning. The Jin family's background was a level above the Qiao family's. How could his nephew be so blind? Wasn't he courting death?
"I'm so sorry, Comrade Chen Cheng. It's all because we elders didn't educate him properly. Please don't take it to heart!"
"Hmm, it's alright, Director Jin. I don't usually hold grudges, haha!"
Jin Ziming was even more suspicious and uncertain. The phrase "generally doesn't hold grudges" was like a thorn in his side, making him extremely uncomfortable. Last time, when the top leader of the municipal party committee held a small meeting, he personally instructed that if he encountered Chen Cheng again, he must be extremely cautious. Even Xue Hongsheng, the top leader of the province, had to be very respectful to that person in the capital. Secretary Liang said that he had even invited Chen Cheng to have dinner together. Just thinking about that relationship was terrifying.
Yu Wei once again witnessed Chen Cheng's extraordinary nature; even the head of the police station had to lower his posture in his presence. Thinking about it, it made sense; even the powerful Qiao family had been uprooted. It was fortunate that he had woken up early that night.
"I'm sorry, Director Jin, Chen Cheng and I have something to attend to, so we'll head back first!"
Zhang Qian showed no respect to Jin Ziming, grabbing Chen Cheng's hand and pulling him out. Jin Ziming glared at Jin Lei and quickly followed, continuing to say nice things. Coincidentally, a few people came in from the opposite direction, and Jin Ziming shuddered when he saw them.
Comrade Chen Cheng!
Liang Hongzhi strode over and extended his hand first.
"Hello, Secretary Liang!"
Chen Cheng shook hands with him and said.
"Hehe, what a coincidence. Tonight I'm having dinner with a Hong Kong businessman who's investing in Xi'an. Shall we have dinner together?"
"Secretary Liang, you're busy with important matters. I'll visit you another day when I have more time!"
"Alright, alright, Ziming, you're here too. Then you can keep Xiaocheng company for me."
"Yes, Secretary Liang."
Jin Ziming said solemnly.
"dad".
Zhang Qian weakly called out to Zhang Zhenhua behind Liang Hongzhi.
"Oh, you guys are here for dinner too. We can talk about it when you get home."
Zhang Zhenhua said softly.
"ah"!
Chen Cheng never expected that he was Zhang Qian's father, his future father-in-law. I said that he kept looking at me that night at the provincial party committee guesthouse.
"Hello, Uncle."
Chen Cheng hurriedly extended his hand and said.
"Okay, come over for dinner when you're done with this busy period."
Zhang Zhenhua was forced into the situation and shook hands with him, not expecting to run into them here.
Liang Hongzhi knew the intricacies of the situation and secretly laughed at Old Zhang's poor judgment. He rejected the real emperor and even joined forces with the Qiao family to suppress Chen Cheng. This time, he was only summoned for questioning and not dismissed or investigated, probably because of his good daughter. Everyone's thoughts flashed in a flash.
Not wanting to delay their business, Chen Cheng politely took his leave, and Jin Ziming followed him away. All of this shocked Jin Lei, Bai Lingzhu, Lin Zihan, and Yu Wei, who had chased after him. Yu Wei and Lin Zihan knew a little about him, but seeing it with their own eyes still shocked them. This was the top leader of Xijing City! Jin Lei felt bitter inside. His proud family background had not earned him any respect from the top leader, who did not even know who he was.
"Does this charlatan really have that much power?"
Bai Lingzhu murmured.
"ignorance"!
Jin Lei glared at Bai Lingzhu resentfully and quickly left. If she hadn't said in front of him that Chen Cheng was just a charlatan from a small county, he wouldn't have humiliated him so readily. He was studying outside and only knew that there had been changes in the officialdom of Xijing. If he had known that these changes were brought to Xijing by Chen Cheng, he probably wouldn't have dared to have any improper thoughts about Zhang Qian, just like Yu Wei, and he certainly wouldn't have humiliated him like that.
Chen Cheng and Zhang Qian walked out the door, and Jin Ziming followed them out, still trying to get close to Chen Cheng.
"Director Jin, these are all minor matters. I'm not that petty. Besides, Jin Lei's actions show that he likes Qianqian, which also proves that Qianqian is outstanding. I will only cherish her and protect our relationship, not suppress these rivals."
Zhang Qian felt a surge of joy and emotion upon hearing this, fearing that the humiliation inflicted by Bai Lingzhu and Jin Lei would anger him.
Jin Ziming breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "This is the responsibility a real man should have, and only you are worthy of being our police force's flower."
At this moment, Jin Lei, Bai Lingzhu, Yu Wei, Lin Zihan and others rushed out, but Jin Lei hesitated and did not move forward.
"Sisi, I was just trying to help you. Who knew Chen Cheng would be so great? Now I can finally relax!"
As Bai Lingzhu spoke, her eyes darted back and forth between Chen Cheng, exuding an indescribable charm.
"Zihan, Cheng and I are going to the capital tomorrow. We'll contact each other again when we get back."
He then turned to Jin Ziming and said, "Director Jin, we're leaving now."
After saying that, Zhang Qian ignored Bai Lingzhu and Jin Lei, took Chen Cheng's hand, turned around and left, heading towards the parking lot.
Jin Ziming stared at Jin Lei and said, "If you don't know who Chen Cheng is, then go and find out how the Qiao family was destroyed!"
After saying that, he snorted and left.
Bai Lingzhu wasn't part of the system and didn't know the reason behind it, so she kept pestering Lin Zihan for answers. Lin Zihan then gave them a brief account of the incident, which made Jin Lei feel terrified and full of regret. Bai Lingzhu probably also knew that she had really angered Zhang Qian this time, and she was also uneasy. Her family background was average, and she was only able to squeeze into some upper-class circles because of her best friend Zhang Qian's fame. Without her, what would she be?
In the car, Zhang Qian grabbed Chen Cheng's hand and glanced at him sideways: "You're really not angry?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just jealous!"
"That's more like it; that's how a normal man in love feels."
Zhang Qianjiao said with a smile.
"If another girl confesses her feelings to me, but I don't have feelings for her at all, will you be jealous?"
"I'm not jealous!"
"Double standards!"
"Pah, I haven't finished yet! I'll eat you when I get home, hehe!"
"Tonight I'm yours, so feel free to devour me!"
"You little rascal, you big pervert..."
The next day, the two took a taxi to Xi'an Airport. It was Chen Cheng's first time flying, and he had no idea what to do. Zhang Qian helped him quickly check in, go through security, and then board the plane.
"Turn off your phone, we're about to take off."
After Zhang Qian finished speaking, her phone beeped with a notification.
"Sisi, I'm sorry, are you really angry? I didn't mean to, I just wanted to find you a reliable haven. Now I know Chen Cheng's abilities, I wish you both the best, please don't ignore me!"
Zhang Qian sighed, turned off her phone, and gently rested her head on Chen Cheng's shoulder. Nothing felt safer here.
"Your best friend can't compare to Lin Zihan. Lin Zihan is really good to you."
Chen Cheng said leisurely.
"I know Bai Lingzhu is scheming. She was very good at pretending when we were in school. But I don't make friends with her based on her family background. As long as we get along, anything is fine. She would try to please me. Last night, Bai Lingzhu actually liked Jin Lei very much, but she was unrequited. I guess what she did last night was partly to make Jin Lei give up on me completely."
"Hey, my silly little girl isn't silly at all!"
"Pah, you're the idiot!"
Zhang Qian leaned closer to Chen Cheng again; this feeling of security was wonderful!
