Chen Xing sent Jiang Feng and Wang Chen to the station and said goodbye to them. "Next time I go to the provincial capital, I'll definitely invite you out for dinner. This time, you've suffered in Ximen for a few days and I haven't had a chance to treat you well."
"County Magistrate Chen, as long as you don't come to Ximen again, you can invite us anywhere for dinner." Wang Chen joked.
Listening to Wang Chen's last joke, Chen Xing sent them to the car and waved his hand to see the car off. Then Chen Xing got in the car.
"County magistrate, where are you going now?" Zhang Min turned around and asked.
"Let's go back to the restaurant." Chen Xing nodded and took out his mobile phone to call Lu Ming. "Director Lu, I'm now at a beef restaurant in the middle of Xinhua Road. Come here. By the way, come here in casual clothes."
Chen Xing returned to the restaurant again. From time to time, he looked at the stubbled boss outside. When he saw Chen Xing get out of the car, he was so excited that he was incoherent. "Old lady, old lady, the county … the county magistrate is here again."
The stubbled boss shouted toward the restaurant and rushed out. He looked at Chen Xing with excitement and awe on his face. He stopped in front of Chen Xing. This time, he didn't know why, as if he was subconsciously in awe of an official, the stubbled boss didn't dare to get too close to Chen Xing. But his tone was still indescribably excited. "County magistrate, you're really here again."
"Boss, I'm still thinking of paying for the damage to your table, so I came back again. Did you forget that I left without even paying the bill just now?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"County magistrate, please don't say that. The damage to the table has nothing to do with you. How dare I ask you to pay for it? As long as you have time in the future, I'll be very satisfied." The stubbled boss said excitedly.
Lu Ming arrived faster than Chen Xing had imagined. Hearing that Chen Xing didn't allow him to wear a police uniform, Lu Ming specially changed into a black jacket and asked a police officer to drive him to Xinhua Road. Lu Ming found the nearby beef shop and soon found the beef shop that Chen Xing mentioned.
County Magistrate Chen, are you looking for me? Lu Ming walked in and saw the bruise at the corner of Chen Xing's eye. He was stunned. Mayor, what is the injury on your face?
Chief Lu, just look outside and you will understand. Chen Xing pointed at the side door of the restaurant.
Lu Ming turned his head in confusion and immediately paused. He saw more than 20 young men walking toward the shop in a grandiose manner. Some of them even pointed in his direction from time to time.
County Magistrate Chen, who are they? The confusion on Lu Ming's face deepened.
They are the hooligans in this area. Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ming indifferently. There were so many game halls and various entertainment places in this area, and so many hooligans were active. Why didn't the County Public Security Bureau pay more attention to the situation here and strengthen the security patrol in this area? Chen Xing didn't look too good. He had come here twice for a meal. The last time was his first time at Xi Men. At that time, Chen Xing had to walk through the entire street. There were many entertainment venues on this street, but he didn't see a single police officer after walking through the entire street. It was the same today. Especially after what happened in the restaurant just now, he didn't see a single police officer passing by. If there were regular police patrols, these hooligans wouldn't be so arrogant.
The police had indeed neglected the situation in this area. Lu Ming looked a bit ashamed. How could he not know that this area was a bit messy? Not only were there many game halls and various entertainment places, but there was also an alley deeper into the street at night, which was a famous red-light district in the county. But it was this area that was not patrolled by the Public Security Bureau.
Generally speaking, the owners of entertainment venues had inextricably linked relationships with the people from the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to continue operating, and those who were able to do so had a strong backer in the Public Security Bureau. Lu Ming was not unaware of this situation, although he was not involved with the owner of the entertainment venue, but Lu Ming was very clear in his heart, if he were to thoroughly clean up this area, it would most likely affect the interests of a large group of people. With his current position as a Deputy Bureau Chief, if he wanted to step on this kind of landmine, he would undoubtedly be opposing the majority of people. Lu Ming was also a little powerless against this kind of situation.
Director Lu, now the position of Director is vacant. If you want to compete for the position, you have to show some courage. Otherwise, how can you get the attention of the higher-ups and stand out from the other competitors? Am I right? Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ming and said.
Lu Ming looked at Chen Xing in surprise. Chen Xing's words could be said to hit the deepest part of his heart. Although the Deputy Director Rong Peng was the acting Director, it didn't mean that Lu Ming had given up on the position of Director. The final result hadn't been announced yet, so Lu Ming didn't have any reason to give up.
Just as Chen Xing and Lu Ming were talking, the twenty or so hooligans outside had already surrounded the store. The store was completely surrounded.
You little bastards, get out of my sight. Don't get in the way of my business. The lady boss boldly rushed out and yelled at the hooligans outside.
The leader glanced at the inside of the restaurant and sneered. "Madam, seeing that we have eaten here a lot, we won't make things difficult for you today. You just need to call that bastard out. Otherwise, if we rush in and pull him out, the tables and chairs in your restaurant will inevitably suffer a bit."
Leader Ding, I'm in a good mood today. Let me give you a piece of advice. It's not too late to get out of here now. If you continue to be stupid, you'll regret it later. " The proprietress glanced at Head Ding with a faint smile. The young man sitting in the restaurant was the county magistrate. As for the middle-aged man behind him, she could tell from their conversation that he was the director of the Public Security Bureau. Of course, it made no difference to the proprietress, just like Chen Xing, the deputy county magistrate, was no different from the county magistrate in her eyes. In any case, the proprietress was in a good mood with the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in her restaurant. At this time, she was fantasizing that her restaurant would no longer be harassed by these hooligans and could do business in peace.
"Proprietress, I, Leader Ding, never regret what I do. Today, I'm talking nicely to you because we've known each other before. Don't think that I'm easy to talk to. Later, when our brothers go in to pull people out and smash something in your shop, don't blame me." Leader Ding said fiercely.
"Fine, today you can smash anything you want. If you want to go in and pull people out, just go in. I won't stop you. If I say anything against you, I'm a son of a bitch." The proprietress smiled disdainfully and moved to the side. "I'll make way for you. Go in and see if I can stop you or not."
Leader Ding looked at the proprietress strangely. Usually, the proprietress was like a shrew. Why did she seem to have changed today?
"Leader Ding, why do I feel that the middle-aged man inside looks familiar?" A young man whispered in Leader Ding's ear.
"What, Chicken Head, do you know him?
Wait, let me think. " The young man called Chicken Head pondered seriously. Suddenly, his face changed. "Leader Ding, that's …" "That's the director of the Public Security Bureau."
"How can you know the director of the Public Security Bureau? Why don't you take a look at yourself?" As soon as Leader Ding heard this, he slapped the back of the head of the young man next to him and scolded him.
Lu Ming didn't care about the group of hooligans outside at all. Although there were many of them, they couldn't be scared at all. If he revealed his identity a little, these young men would be scared and flee in all directions. At this moment, Lu Ming was thinking about Chen Xing's words. Now he finally understood why Chen Xing told him not to wear his police uniform. Chen Xing wanted him to see with his own eyes how chaotic the public security in this area was. Lu Ming understood that Chen Xing not only wanted him to come here, but also wanted him to make a decision to thoroughly clean up the area. Lu Ming was also hesitant.
It was easy to deal with these hooligans, but this was simply treating the symptoms and not the root cause. The key was to clean up the entertainment venues in this area, which was not a small problem. Lu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know if he, as the deputy director, could withstand the pressure from all sides.
"Let's rush in together and beat up whoever we see. Beat him up for me." Leader Ding saw Chen Xing sitting there motionless, and immediately shouted to the people around him. Leader Ding had learned his lesson just now. Zhang Min, who was next to Chen Xing, was too good at fighting. Leader Ding wanted to beat him up to get back at him.
"Stop!" Lu Ming turned his head and shouted. His voice was like a bolt from the blue. All the hooligans were shocked, especially Lu Ming. The lethality was not small. In the past, some hooligans who knew Lu Ming would tremble just by looking at his eyes.
"What the hell are you doing? Today's matter has nothing to do with you. It's not too late for you to leave now." Leader Ding stared at Lu Ming. In fact, he was a little scared. He glanced at the people around him, but he still spoke tough.
"You little bastard, at your age, why don't you stay in school and study? Why are you messing around with others?" Lu Ming walked to Leader Ding, who was standing in front of him, and suddenly twisted his neck. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. However, none of the 20 hooligans dared to move.
