As Chen Xing walked out, he contacted Lu Ming and asked Lu Ming to bring a few people to Jiang Wan's restaurant. After Chen Xing got in the car, he immediately urged the driver to drive faster. In the meantime, he called Jiang Wan's cell phone again. The call went through, but no one answered. Chen Xing's expression became more and more unsightly.
Lu Ming, have you set off with your men? He called Jiang Wan's phone, but no one answered. Chen Xing called Lu Ming's cell phone again.
Set off. I asked a few police officers to rush over immediately. I'll be there soon. Lu Ming was not at the police station. He was at the Nanming District Branch to inspect and guide the work. After receiving Chen Xing's call, Lu Ming left the group of Nanming District Branch leaders who were accompanying him and went to the restaurant that Chen Xing mentioned. Coastal Avenue was located in Haiming District. It was not far for Lu Ming to rush over.
Okay. Chen Xing nodded and put away his cell phone. Chen Xing was a little worried. He did not know what had happened to Jiang Wan. Although Jiang Wan was not related to him, Chen Xing still regarded her as a true friend.
Little Li, drive faster. Chen Xing urged Li Yong again.
Li Yong smiled bitterly and could only nod in agreement. It was not that he did not want to drive fast. The roads in the city were like that. There were many intersections, many cars, and many people. Even if the traffic was not congested, it was impossible to speed up. From time to time, there would be a traffic light, and he would often have to slow down. Li Yong wanted to run the red light, but when he saw the traffic police on duty, he could not really rush over.
When they reached Coastal Avenue, there were relatively few cars. Li Yong then completely sped up. Soon, he arrived at Jiang Wan's restaurant. There were already three police cars parked at the door. Obviously, the people from the Public Security Bureau had arrived first. After seeing the police cars, Chen Xing's expression became slightly better.
Some people gathered at the door to watch the show. Chen Xing quickly walked forward, pushed the people aside, and walked in. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he met a few people who were about to go out. He happened to be face to face with Chen Xing. When Chen Xing saw the people opposite him, he was immediately stunned. Then his face became even more gloomy. It was Ceng Gaoqiang, who had annoyed him very much.
Not only was Chen Xing surprised to see Ceng Gaoqiang, Ceng Gaoqiang was also shocked when he saw Chen Xing. Huang … Mayor Chen.
What is the Deputy Mayor doing here? Chen Xing quickly glanced at the scene. He did not see the expected scene of the restaurant being smashed, which made Chen Xing feel relieved. However, Ceng Gaoqiang's face was still gloomy. Next to Ceng Gaoqiang was Chen Dafei, who had also dealt with Chen Xing. Chen Xing did not like this son of the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at all. He only knew that this son was a typical playboy. As for the other two men who looked about the same age, Chen Xing did not know them.
Well … well, I came here with my friends for coffee. Ceng Gaoqiang felt a little uncomfortable under Chen Xing's gaze. He gave a hollow laugh and answered unnaturally.
Drinking coffee? Chen Xing frowned slightly. He had forgotten that Jiang Wan's restaurant mainly served food and beverages. It also operated coffee and so on. No wonder Ceng Gaoqiang and his friends would appear here when it was not mealtime. However, this was not the focus of Chen Xing's concern. At this time, Chen Xing did not connect Jiang Wan's words of someone making trouble with Ceng Gaoqiang and his friends. After asking Ceng Gaoqiang casually, Chen Xing ignored him and searched for Jiang Wan. He saw Jiang Wan coming down from the second floor, followed by Lu Ming. He did not see anyone else behind them.
Chen Xing's eyes narrowed slightly. Didn't they say that someone was making trouble? Why didn't he see them?
When Jiang Wan walked down, Chen Xing inexplicably felt a sense of pity when he saw the slap mark on Jiang Wan's face. There was a faint anger burning in his heart.
Chen Xing's attention was on Jiang Wan. Ceng Gaoqiang, who was opposite him, frowned and glanced at Chen Xing calmly. Ceng Gaoqiang squeezed a smile on his face. Mayor Chen, are you here for dinner?
Chen Xing ignored Ceng Gaoqiang. Instead, he looked at Lu Ming. Director Lu, who was making trouble in the restaurant?
Lu Ming didn't speak. He just looked in the direction of Ceng Gaoqiang and the others. His meaning was self-evident. It was not convenient for him to speak directly because it involved Ceng Gaoqiang, the deputy mayor. He couldn't say that the troublemakers were Ceng Gaoqiang and the others, especially the young man beside Ceng Gaoqiang. Lu Ming couldn't guess the identity of the young man beside Ceng Gaoqiang. But looking at Ceng Gaoqiang's polite and even ingratiating look, Lu Ming, who had been in the official circle for so many years, knew that the young man's identity must be scary enough. That was why he didn't take any measures after he arrived, but let Ceng Gaoqiang and the others leave.
Deputy Mayor Cheng, are you the troublemakers just now? Chen Xing didn't have Lu Ming's scruples. He stared at Ceng Gaoqiang.
Mayor Chen, you can't talk nonsense. The environment here is good, and it's near the sea. We just came here to drink coffee. How could we make trouble? Who's the one talking nonsense? Ceng Gaoqiang smiled stiffly. There was deep doubt hidden in the depths of his eyes. His eyes swept over Chen Xing and Jiang Wan. Ceng Gaoqiang secretly cursed his bad luck. Could it be that the beautiful proprietress happened to know Chen Xing?
Ceng Gaoqiang was puzzled. Chen Dafei, who was next to him, also looked resentful. Why was he so unlucky? Why did he have to meet Chen Xing so often? But as soon as he saw the man next to him, Chen Dafei was in a good mood. He rolled his eyes and whispered to the man, "Young Master Deng, this man is the mayor of Nanzhou City. It seems that he knows the proprietress of this restaurant. We can't afford to offend him. Later, we'd better pretend to be weak and keep the peace."
You want me to pretend to be weak? The man called Young Master Deng sneered. Hmph, so what if he's the mayor? I won't admit defeat. Let's see what he can do to me.
Young Master Deng, this is not a good idea. It's not a big deal. Just apologize and let it go. There's no need to make it big. Chen Dafei tried to persuade him with good intentions.
Dafei, I thought you were very brave. I didn't expect you to be so timid. I'm so disappointed. The man looked at Chen Dafei impatiently. Don't worry about this. Just leave it to me.
Just as Chen Dafei was whispering to the man, Chen Xing also looked at Jiang Wan. Miss Jiang, you tell me, who is causing trouble in your restaurant?
It's them. They were drinking coffee on the second floor and tried to touch our waiters. I went up to scold them and got beaten up. Jiang Wan pointed at Ceng Gaoqiang and the others. Her eyes were filled with anger. Her cheeks were still burning from being slapped. If looks could kill, Ceng Gaoqiang and the others would have died hundreds of times.
"Deputy Mayor, what's going on? Chen Xing looked at Ceng Gaoqiang coldly.
Lu Ming had already walked to Chen Xing's side. At the same time, he waved to several of his men and asked them to drive away the onlookers at the door. This scene was not suitable for people to watch. Otherwise, there would be a lot of messy rumors later.
Ceng Gaoqiang was questioned by Chen Xing face to face. He didn't look good, but after all, he didn't dare to argue with Chen Xing face to face. He glanced at the young man next to him and hesitated on how to deal with Chen Xing. Then he heard the young man next to him snort. What bad luck! He can't even feel comfortable drinking coffee. Mayor Ceng, let's go.
After the young man finished speaking, he walked straight to Chen Xing. It seemed that he intended to ask Chen Xing to make way for him. Seeing Chen Xing standing still, the young man sneered and was about to bump into him with his shoulder. He was not afraid that Chen Xing was the mayor. Anyway, it was Chen Xing who didn't want to make way for him. He deserved to be bumped into by him.
"You don't know how to look at the road, do you?" Chen Xing took a step sideways. How could he not know that the man did it on purpose? He looked at the man up and down. At this time, Chen Xing also saw that the man in front of him was the leader of Ceng Gaoqiang's group. It seemed that Ceng Gaoqiang also wanted to curry favor with the man, intentionally or unintentionally. This surprised Chen Xing. "Who is this man in front of me?"
"I want to go out, but you block the way and don't give way. Of course, I can only go straight forward." The man curled his lips. He was a little disappointed that he didn't bump into Chen Xing, but he didn't intend to do anything to Chen Xing. He continued to walk out.
"Wait, who said you can go?" Chen Xing scolded and winked at Lu Ming. Then Lu Ming asked several policemen to block the door.
"You won't let me go?" "Hey, do you want to arrest me?" The man smiled and turned back to look at Chen Xing. His eyes finally fell on Jiang Wan. "This woman was just slapped by me. What? If I confess, you will arrest me."
"You slapped her?" A cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. This man had completely ignited his anger.
"Yes, I slapped her. Arrest me, come and arrest me." The man laughed arrogantly. "Mayor Ceng, I am a rough man and don't know the law. Tell me, will I be jailed for slapping someone?" "Will I be detained?" "Oh, I am so scared."
"Well, I don't think I have heard of this before." Ceng Gaoqiang held back his laughter and said cooperatively. He liked to see Chen Xing being humiliated. If Chen Xing and the man could really have a conflict, he would definitely be so happy that he couldn't sleep.
After the man finished speaking, he saw that Chen Xing didn't say anything. He smiled disdainfully. "Don't dare to arrest me?" "Then I will leave."
