Open it now. Chen Xing shouted again.
The other policemen didn't dare to make the decision. They still looked at Lin Gang.
Open it. Lin Gang said with a gloomy face.
The door was opened. Chen Xing walked in.
In the room, Zeng Jing sat quietly on a chair with her hands cuffed. She had heard Chen Xing's voice. Seeing Chen Xing come in, Zeng Jing's expression was complicated. If possible, she didn't want Chen Xing to see her at this moment. She didn't want to meet Chen Xing. In all the scenarios she had imagined, Zeng Jing would rather Chen Xing didn't know about it. However, things were out of her control. Chen Xing came faster than she had expected.
They looked at each other face to face. There were thousands of words in their hearts, but they couldn't say them out loud.
Chen Xing calmed himself down quickly and scolded them. Who told you to cuff Zeng Jing? Uncuff her.
Mayor Chen, it's already an exception to let you see Zeng Jing. It's impossible to uncuff her. Lin Gang responded expressionlessly. He had just compromised, but now he didn't want to give in.
Zeng Jing is the director of the branch. Who gave you the right to cuff her? If you say she's a criminal, she's a criminal. If I say you're a criminal, can I arrest you? Chen Xing stared at Lin Gang.
Zeng Jing is a criminal. I have evidence. How can I arrest her without evidence? Lin Gang snorted.
What evidence do you have? Chen Xing stared at Lin Gang.
This is a confidential case. Mayor Chen, I can't tell you.
What if I want to know? Chen Xing was infuriated.
If Mayor Chen wants to know, he can report it to the Provincial Department. If the leaders of the Provincial Department approve it, Mayor Chen will know. As for now, I'm sorry. Although Mayor Chen has a higher rank than me, the Provincial Department is not under your control. You can't order me. " Lin Gang sneered.
Lin Gang's words made Chen Xing speechless. He looked at Lin Gang coldly. Chen Xing also said, "Since you said so, let me tell you. Before Zeng Jing is dismissed, she's still the director of the Liyuan Branch. You don't have the right to arrest her. Let her go now. Otherwise, I will take it as you're challenging the authority of the city.
Mayor Chen, don't accuse me. I can't take it. " Lin Gang sneered. Besides, to put it bluntly, Mayor Chen didn't necessarily represent the city. He wondered if Secretary Zhang Yiping would be unhappy if she heard what he said.
How dare you! Lin Gang, don't think that I can't deal with you. Don't think I can't deal with you. "Chen Xing said angrily.
Of course, Mayor Chen, you have the ability to deal with me. But I have to make it clear that I, Lin Gang, am willing to lose my job in order to find out who killed my son. I have nothing to lose. Mayor Chen, if you really want to make things difficult for me, I'll play with you until the end. By that time, I might lose my position as the deputy director of the department, and I might accidentally topple you, Mayor Chen, from your position as the mayor. Lin Gang and Chen Xing stared at each other.
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Xing's pupils shrank.
"It's not a threat. I'm just telling the truth. I hope Mayor Chen can understand a father's feelings after losing his son." Lin Gang said calmly.
Chen Xing took a deep look at Lin Gang. "A man with nothing to lose is not afraid." Lin Gang was showing him that he was willing to risk everything.
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Zheng Zhongqiang didn't expect that Chen Xing would confront Lin Gang as soon as he arrived. Seeing that Chen Xing was embarrassed, Zheng Zhongqiang interrupted, "Lin Gang, no matter what, you have to let Zeng Jing go first."
"I told you, it's impossible." Lin Gang looked at Zheng Zhongqiang and then at Chen Xing. "Unless someone can step over my dead body, no one can make me let her go today."
"Lin Gang, you …" Zheng Zhongqiang was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Chen Xing remained silent. Lin Gang's determination was beyond his expectation. If he wanted to take Zeng Jing away by force, it would be impossible unless Zheng Zhongqiang sent a large number of policemen. But if he really did that, Lin Gang's reaction would be fierce. At that time, a big conflict might be inevitable. If things got to that point, perhaps as Lin Gang said, a man with nothing to lose, but Chen Xing would also have to bear a huge political risk.
"I want to talk to Zeng Jing alone. You can all leave." Chen Xing suddenly said.
"Mayor Chen, I'm sorry, but we can't do that. We have to be here." Lin Gang refused.
Lin Gang's words stunned Chen Xing. He turned to look at Lin Gang. The anger in Chen Xing's heart was on the verge of exploding.
"Mayor Chen, Director Zheng, you can go back now." Zeng Jing, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Zeng Jing's words made Chen Xing, who was about to explode, frown. He looked at Zeng Jing, and Chen Xing gradually calmed down. Taking a deep breath, Chen Xing turned around and left. Outside the door, Chen Xing stopped and looked back at Lin Gang and all the people present. "For the last time, if anyone dares to hurt Zeng Jing, I will skin him alive. I, Chen Xing, will do what I say."
Chen Xing glanced around at everyone. Finally, Chen Xing's eyes stopped on Lin Gang. His meaning was self-evident. What he said also included Lin Gang.
After saying that, Chen Xing left quickly. Behind him, Lin Gang was trembling with anger. Chen Xing's threat before he left not only showed that he didn't take Lin Gang seriously, but it also worked. Lin Gang looked around and saw that his subordinates all flinched after hearing Chen Xing's words. Obviously, they were a little scared. If he asked them to hurt Zeng Jing later, even if it was Chen Xing himself who gave the order, his subordinates would have scruples.
Watching Chen Xing leave with a gloomy face, Lin Gang was angry and his heart was heavy. The relationship between Chen Xing and Zeng Jing was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that Chen Xing would stand up for Zeng Jing. At this moment, it seemed that he had pushed back Chen Xing and won a small victory. However, Lin Gang knew that the real battle between the two sides was only clear. As the mayor of Jiang City, Chen Xing's power was absolutely terrifying.
Outside the door, Chen Xing and Zheng Zhongqiang got in the car. Chen Xing, who had been wearing a straight face, was silent on the way out. No one knew what he was thinking.
After getting in the car, Chen Xing suddenly said to Zheng Zhongqiang, "Director Zheng, you can drive, right?"
"Yes." Zheng Zhongqiang was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble Director Zheng to drive himself." Then, Chen Xing said to his driver, Miao Yuanliang, "Yuan Liang, you don't need to drive for now. You and Xiao Yu can take Director Zheng's car."
