The sudden scene left everyone dumbfounded. When a few police officers pushed open the door aggressively and went straight to the table where Lin Hong was sitting, the originally lively wedding banquet instantly quieted down. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the uninvited guests who suddenly barged in.
Jiang Yi was a deputy captain of the criminal police team of the Provincial Department and was also the person in charge of tonight's operation. He had seen Lin Hong's photo many times. As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Jiang Yi immediately recognized Lin Hong who was sitting at the table in the middle. As for the people sitting at Lin Hong's table, Jiang Yi only glanced at them and vaguely felt that one of them seemed to be quite familiar. However, this feeling was quickly ignored by Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was here to arrest someone tonight. Looking at Lin Hong in front of him, Jiang Yi had a faint smile on his face. It was the expression of a hunter who suddenly saw his prey.
What are you doing? Lin Hong looked at the group of uninvited guests in front of her and frowned tightly. Her face was full of confusion. Logically speaking, these uniformed policemen should not have any interaction with her anymore. She was very law-abiding now. As for her previous criminal record, Chen Xing had promised to help her suppress it.
Miss Lin, you're from the Provincial Department. Come with us. Jiang Yi's mouth twitched imperceptibly. The layout and decoration of the restaurant fell into his eyes. Looking at Lin Hong's dress, Jiang Yi then realized that Lin Hong was getting married tonight. This made Jiang Yi feel that he had come at the wrong time. They were having a wedding. There was nothing more disappointing than coming to arrest someone at this time. However, this thought only flashed in his mind for a moment. As an experienced criminal police, Jiang Yi was never overflowing with sympathy. His task tonight was to take Lin Hong away. This was an order from his superior, so Jiang Yi did not dare to be careless.
Someone from the Provincial Department? Lin Hong was shocked. She, who had been through a lot, did not seem to panic. She glanced at Chen Xing at the side and looked at Jiang Yi calmly. If the Provincial Department wanted to arrest someone, they would need evidence. What right do you have to arrest me?
Of course, there must be evidence to arrest someone. But Miss Lin, are you sure you want me to say it? Jiang Yi was stunned. Then he looked at the people around Lin Hong with a faint smile. Since it was Lin Hong's wedding, these people here tonight were Lin Hong's relatives and friends. Jiang Yi did not believe that Lin Hong would let him say it.
Lin Hong's expression changed. Since Jiang Yi asked this question, Lin Hong did not dare to answer. She had done so many illegal things in the past that even Lin Hong herself could not remember them. At that time, she had Li Haocheng as her backer, so Lin Hong had never cared about what she had done. Now, if someone wanted to dig up those old scores, Lin Hong believed that the police could easily find a reason to arrest her. But the problem was, shouldn't those things in the past be in the past? Why would the police from the Provincial Department look for her?
The atmosphere at the scene fell into silence. Yan Jun, who was right next to Lin Hong, could not hold it in any longer. He was one of the main characters tonight. His wedding with Lin Hong was abruptly interrupted. Yan Jun was filled with anger. Even if these people were the police, he could not do anything about it. Yan Jun, who had served in the army, was not afraid of the police. Being a bodyguard was also a dangerous job. He was very courageous. If he was provoked, he might even fight with these police.
Yan Jun wanted to stand up, but he was held down by Lin Hong, who shook his head at Yan Jun calmly. Lin Hong knew the character and temper of her boyfriend, who was one or two years younger than her. She was afraid that her boyfriend would make things worse if he was reckless. Chen Xing was also present, so Lin Hong was not too anxious at the moment.
Lin Hong held down her boyfriend, who was about to stand up, and looked at Chen Xing with a pair of beautiful eyes. The slightly pleading look in her eyes could not be more obvious. Mayor Chen, you can't just sit there and watch the show anymore.
When Chen Xing saw Lin Hong's eyes looking at him, he knew that he had to step forward. In fact, Chen Xing just wanted to listen to the leading police officer's reason for arresting Lin Hong. He was also curious about the Provincial Department's reason for arresting Lin Hong.
Jiang Yi saw that Lin Hong did not say anything, but did not move either. He stood there without any intention to step forward. Just when he was about to scold him, he suddenly saw Chen Xing stand up and walk towards him. Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed and he took back his words. Looking at Chen Xing, who looked vaguely familiar, Jiang Yi did not think much about it. He just thought that Lin Hong had instructed Chen Xing to do something. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do. Anyway, he was not afraid that Lin Hong would run away.
Come out with me for a while. Chen Xing walked up to Jiang Yi, lifted his head, and glanced at him. Then, he walked out after saying that.
Tsk, I say, who are you? You want me to go out with you? Jiang Yi was stunned by Chen Xing's words, and then he laughed angrily. Chen Xing's actions were like a companion of a suspect walking over and asking the police to leave. Without knowing Chen Xing's identity, Chen Xing's actions were extremely comical to Jiang Yi.
Captain Jiang seemed to be the young mayor of Nanzhou City. Jiang Yi could not recognize who Chen Xing was, but that did not mean that the people behind him could not. One of them had worked with Lu Ming and had seen Chen Xing before. He recognized Chen Xing at once.
Mayor Chen? Jiang Yi was shocked. He turned to look at his subordinate, who nodded with certainty. The cold smile on Jiang Yi's face immediately disappeared. Without another word, he turned and walked out.
Mayor Chen, we are only acting on orders. We did not know you were here. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us. Outside, Jiang Yi walked to Chen Xing with a smile. Although Chen Xing could not control the Provincial Department, Jiang Yi clearly did not want to offend a mayor for no reason.
Whose orders? What was the reason for arresting Lin Hong? Chen Xing looked at him and asked the question that had been bothering him in his heart.
Mayor Chen, this involves our case's confidential information. You … you see … Jiang Yi looked embarrassed. In fact, what Chen Xing asked was not a secret that could not be revealed, but Jiang Yi was cautious. Before knowing the relationship between Chen Xing and Lin Hong, Jiang Yi did not dare to say anything. If the higher-ups found trouble with him, Jiang Yi would not know who to cry to. If Chen Xing had the ability, he should find someone to inquire about the information himself.
What kind of confidential information can't even be revealed to me? Chen Xing looked at him coldly.
Mayor Chen, that's not what I meant. It's mainly because without instructions from the higher-ups, I do not dare to say anything. Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. At this moment, he deliberately put on a helpless look. He just wanted Chen Xing to not make things difficult for a small figure like him. He was just an errand boy who was ordered to arrest people.
After staring at Jiang Yi for a while, Chen Xing snorted. It was meaningless to make things difficult for him. He looked into the restaurant and became silent. He had promised to help Lin Hong suppress those crimes in the past. This was also a compensation for Lin Hong's cooperation with him. Now that Lin Hong was in trouble, Chen Xing could not just sit by and do nothing. However, these people were policemen from the Provincial Department. They could not be solved by a word from Chen Xing, unless he called Guan Jinhui personally. However, Chen Xing was also wondering if it was worth it to alarm Guan Jinhui for this matter.
Forget it. After all, it was something that he had promised. He could not go back on his word. Chen Xing sighed. It might be a little presumptuous to call Guan Jinhui because of this matter. However, if he could solve this trouble for Lin Hong, he would not owe Lin Hong anything. Moreover, Lin Hong really wanted to change his appearance and live a new life. Chen Xing also hoped that Lin Hong could fulfill his wish.
He picked up his phone and called Guan Jinhui. It was only six or seven o 'clock. Chen Xing did not know that Guan Jinhui was still in the office. After greeting Guan Jinhui politely, he said with a smile, "Uncle Guan, I want to ask you something. I don't know if you know that your Provincial Department is investigating a person named Lin Hong."
Chen Xing did not call Guan Jinhui by his title, but called him "Uncle Guan". Speaking of this title, there was a reason. Because Guan Jinhui had some relationship with the Xiao Family, Xiao Guodong introduced Guan Jinhui to him. Xiao Guodong was Zhang Ningning's cousin, so Chen Xing had to call him cousin. When Xiao Guodong introduced Guan Jinhui to Chen Xing, he politely called Guan Jinhui "Uncle Guan". Therefore, it was not surprising that Chen Xing also called Guan Jinhui "Uncle Guan". In addition, Guan Jinhui was willing to build a good relationship with Chen Xing, the son-in-law of the Zhang Family. Therefore, he was happy to hear Chen Xing call him "Uncle Guan".
"Lin Hong?" Hearing Chen Xing's question, Guan Jinhui, who was at the other end of the phone, made a sound of surprise. "Chen Xing, I really don't know about this. How about this? I'll ask for your help and get back to you later."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Guan." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
Chen Xing put away the phone and thought that Guan Jinhui did not know about this, which meant that the case should not be very serious. This also made Chen Xing feel relieved.
While Chen Xing was thinking about his own affairs, Jiang Yi beside him was anxious. At first, when Chen Xing called him Uncle Guan, Jiang Yi thought that Chen Xing was not calling the leader of their department. However, Chen Xing's words proved that his guess was wrong. Obviously, Chen Xing was calling the leader of the Provincial Department. Then, who was Chen Xing calling Uncle Guan? Jiang Yi was confused at first. Then, he suddenly remembered that the surname of the Director was Guan. This idea really shocked Jiang Yi. He looked at Chen Xing carefully. "Mayor Chen, who were you just now?
What? You don't even know the surname of the leader of your Provincial Department? " Chen Xing curled his lips with a smile.
"I know, I know." Jiang Yi gave a hollow laugh and did not dare to ask any more questions. However, his heart was in turmoil. His face was flushed with excitement, as if he had discovered a big secret. He thought that Chen Xing was a relative of the leader of their Provincial Department. Perhaps no one knew this secret yet.
Chen Xing was waiting for Guan Jinhui's call. On Guan Jinhui's side, Guan Jinhui, who hung up the phone with Chen Xing, looked at a person sitting in the office and said in an unfriendly tone, "You can't even catch a person. What are you doing?"
"Department Guan, what's going on?" Hou Jianqiang, the captain of the Criminal Police Corps of the Provincial Department, who was in Guan Jinhui's office, was inexplicably scolded by Guan Jinhui. He felt very wronged. He only heard the name of Lin Hong from Guan Jinhui's phone call and knew that it might be related to Lin Hong. However, Guan Jinhui got angry after hearing the phone call. Hou Jianqiang felt very wronged.
"You are going to catch Lin Hong. How did you meet Chen Xing?" Chen Xing had called to ask. Guan Jinhui was a little annoyed. When Chen Xing called to ask, Guan Jinhui could only pretend that he didn't know. He was the one who gave the instructions.
"Department Guan, I don't know either. Maybe it was a coincidence. The people below probably didn't expect such a sudden situation." Hou Jianqiang smiled bitterly. He felt that Guan Jinhui's anger was really inexplicable.
"Let your people withdraw first." Guan Jinhui thought for a moment and ordered.
"Department Guan, then we won't catch Lin Hong?" Hou Jianqiang looked at Guan Jinhui in surprise. Guan Jinhui was the Deputy Governor and the head of the Provincial Department. Normally, Chen Xing's face shouldn't be so big. If Guan Jinhui didn't give him face, then he wouldn't give him face. However, Guan Jinhui's action made Hou Jianqiang very puzzled. Previously, when he let Lu Ming go to Nanzhou City to be the Deputy Bureau Chief, it seemed to be because of Chen Xing's face. Hou Jianqiang wondered where Chen Xing got such a big face.
"We'll see how it goes." Guan Jinhui waved his hand.
After Guan Jinhui gave the order, Jiang Yi, who stayed by Chen Xing's side, quickly received a call from the higher-ups. He respectfully responded a few times, and when Jiang Yi looked at Chen Xing again, there was a bit more respect on his face. "Mayor Chen, the higher-ups have spoken. Then we will withdraw first. If we offend Mayor Chen in any way tonight, I hope Mayor Chen will be magnanimous enough to forgive us."
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he led his people away. Chen Xing didn't have time to say anything to Jiang Yi. His phone also rang. Without a doubt, it was Guan Jinhui who called back. He heard Guan Jinhui say with a smile, "Chen Xing, I understand that this Lin Hong has some criminal records. But why are you calling for her? You two?
Uncle Guan, don't misunderstand. She and I can be considered friends. Tonight, I came to attend her wedding. I ran into your Provincial Department's people arresting people, so I asked you. "
So that's how it was. Guan Jinhui suddenly understood. On the other end of the phone, it was obvious that Guan Jinhui quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Uncle Guan, may I know what case your Provincial Department is investigating on Lin Hong's case? Chen Xing asked.
It's not a big case. Chen Xing, if you want to protect her, then I can help you suppress it. Guan Jinhui said with an indifferent expression. His words showed that he was giving face to Chen Xing. Anyone who heard his words would feel comfortable.
