Chu Feng pulled out his phone and directly called He Jianguo.
Upon seeing the call was from Chu Feng, He Jianguo imdiately picked up and said, "Uncle, is sothing the matter?"
Chu Feng glanced at the sowhat uneasy Rao Ying and said, "I’m fine, but your wife is being bullied. Now soone wants to take her away, and your position as an official only lets your wife suffer in silence. I think maybe you should quit your job. What kind of man are you if you can’t even protect your own wife?"
When He Jianguo heard Chu Feng’s words, his face also darkened as he said, "Uncle, where are you?"
Chu Feng said, "Victoria Wedding Dress Store."
He Jianguo said, "I’ll be right there."
Chu Feng hung up the phone and looked at Rao Ying, saying, "Is he that scary? Didn’t you marry him so he could protect you? If he can’t even protect you, how can you expect him to protect anyone else?"
Rao Ying said, "Uncle, I know I was wrong."
Chu Feng said, "Alright, I know you had his best interests at heart, but you don’t need to do that anymore. It’s important to be mindful of your image, but that doesn’t an you have to suffer losses all the ti."
Watching Chu Feng’s calm deanor, the officials’ children and the young starlet also began to feel nervous.
If he didn’t have a strong backing, such a big scene would have probably scared an ordinary person silly by now. Yet, Chu Feng remained so composed, clearly indicating sothing.
The young starlet expressed her concerns, "Honey, could they have so powerful backing?"
Young Master You was also a bit apprehensive, but he was confident that in East River, he could still smooth everything over.
"Don’t worry, this is East River. Even the mayor would show so respect to my dad when they et. I’ll call my dad now and have him co over," Young Master You said through gritted teeth.
The young starlet replied, "It’s best to have dad co over. That way, even if the other side has so backing, we can keep things under control."
Upon hearing the young starlet’s words, Young Master You also felt what she said made a lot of sense and imdiately called his father.
After Young Master You explained the situation, his father, Vice Mayor You of East River City, who was dining with provincial leaders, also beca restless.
"Minister Kong, I’m truly sorry. My son has caused trouble again, and I need to go take care of it," You Wen said apologetically to Minister Kong of the Organization Departnt, who was also his schoolmate from the party school and a close friend.
Minister Kong said, "There’s no child who doesn’t cause trouble. My own son often creates problems for as well. I’m free at the mont, so I might as well join you to have a look."
Upon hearing Minister Kong’s offer, You Wen was overjoyed and said, "Minister Kong, I really appreciate this. If that’s the case, I believe no matter who the other party is, they will give you face as a minister. After all, you’re the one overseeing their official caps."
A sedan chair lifted by many hands is light, everyone loves to hear good things.
After listening, Minister Kong smiled and modestly said, "I’m just doing my duty for the organization, but I do have so influence. I believe the officials in East River will give that respect."
With Minister Kong accompanying him, You Wen was confident that even if his son had crossed the mayor, they would give so face to Minister Kong on his behalf.
The restaurant where You Wen and Minister Kong were eating was not far from Victoria’s.
They arrived first, and You Wen felt reassured upon seeing his father.
"Dad, it’s them. I suspect they’re robbers, and I’m concerned there’s sothing wrong with this shop. I brought people over to check, but they’re not cooperating," Young Master You said, twisting truth and falsehood upon arrival.
The store manager, seeing such a scene and the deploynt of even the East River City Standing Committee mbers, felt her calves start to cramp with fear.
She understood that she couldn’t keep this matter hidden, for it was now beyond her ability to handle. She had no choice but to call her boss and let him deal with the situation.
You Wen was no fool; he naturally knew how much credibility his son’s words held.
However, now that things had co to this point, he had to proceed according to his son’s words. At most, they would just arrest them and release them later, offering so compensation.
If he simply admitted his son’s mistake just like that, he, as the Vice Mayor, would lose too much face.
"Take the people away for investigation," You Wen commanded directly.
You Wen, hearing his father’s words, imdiately exclaid with joy, "Didn’t you hear what my dad said? Why aren’t you hurrying to arrest them?"
With the Vice Mayor issuing orders, they had no further hesitation—their superiors would shield them from any fallout.
Chu Feng, seeing that they were about to make a move, raised his hand to stop them and said, "I thought you might be sensible, but it seems you’re as foolish as your son. It looks like your ti as an official is coming to an end."
After a pause, Chu Feng continued, "But your people have arrived, and mine haven’t yet. Don’t you want to see who my people are before you’re so eager to make arrests? Aren’t you afraid of regretting it?"
"Whoever it is, it doesn’t matter with here. I don’t believe the officials of East River won’t show so respect," Kong Ting had just been promoted to the position of Deputy Minister of the Organization Departnt and naturally wanted to enjoy the privileges of his new status, a common ailnt among Huaxia officials.
When You Wen heard Kong Ting say this, he had no reason to be polite, imdiately agreeing, "With Minister Kong here, even if your backer is the City Party Secretary, what difference does it make? Right now, it’s you who are suspected of breaking the law."
Chu Feng, seeing He Jianguo entering the doorway, said, "Sobody, you might want to take your own words and say them to the City Party Secretary yourself."
"How could the City Party Secretary co to a place like this? Stop trying to scare us. I think it’s your background that’s afraid to show up, given the circumstances. Besides, even if the City Party Secretary really ca, what could he do?" Young Master You, seeing Kong Ting on his side, was completely unconcerned.
Chu Feng, looking pitifully at You Wen and his son, shook his head and said, "Turn around and look. See if he’ll co here or not."
You Wen and his son, skeptical at Chu Feng’s words, turned around hesitantly, and then they saw the grim-faced He Jianguo walking towards them.
"Secretary He!" You Wen stuttered when he saw He Jianguo approaching.
Kong Ting also saw He Jianguo, and his legs began to soften at the sight.
True, he was the Deputy Minister of the Organization Departnt of the Provincial Committee, but... but He Jianguo was already the intended next governor of Songjiang Province for this term—it was now just a matter of procedural formalities. And even if he didn’t beco governor, as a current mber of the Provincial Committee, He Jianguo had enough authority to overshadow him.
"Uncle, are you alright?" He Jianguo approached Chu Feng and asked respectfully.
"Boom!"
When He Jianguo called Chu Feng "Uncle," You Wen and Kong Ting’s minds exploded. They had actually offended He Jianguo’s uncle, and there was no way he would let it go easily.
"I’m alright. You should ask your wife if she’s alright," Chu Feng replied.
"Xiao Ying, are you alright?" He Jianguo asked Rao Ying gently.
"Wife!"
Young Master You and the young starlet, no matter how wild their imaginations, couldn’t have guessed that this submissive woman was the wife of the City Party Secretary and the future governor of Songjiang Province!
