Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Unexpected

After seeing the license plate, Yang Qingyin whispered to Luo Ziling, “Your hope was not in vain, it should be the highest leaders who have come!”

Luo Ziling nodded his head, indicating that he understood, and did not say much more.

Soon, several people dressed in black jackets, looking formidable, got out of the Audi car.

The second-level police superintendent who had been maintaining order at the scene immediately ran over to report the situation.

The ones who had just gotten out of the vehicle were indeed the key leaders of Yuezhou, but the Director of the Yuezhou Municipal Bureau had not arrived. He was in Qiantang attending a meeting, and several deputies were with him, hence, upon receiving the report, only one of the deputies sitting in the bureau was able to rush over.

The meeting was very important, absences were not allowed, and they could not make it back in time.

The second-level police superintendent at the scene was the Deputy Director of the branch office. He went up to the key leaders and detailed the situation here, including disclosing the identities of Yang Xiaodong and others.

Hearing that people from the special forces and several local industrialists had clashed, the high officials of Yuezhou couldn’t help frowning.

Just as they were about to come over and ask Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun about the military affairs, the leader in charge of administrative affairs received a call on his mobile phone.

Upon answering, he was informed by a Deputy Director from the provincial hall that a young woman present at the scene was a noble lady from Yanjing with an extraordinarily high status. He warned them to handle the situation carefully, or it would bring significant trouble.

After hearing the Deputy Director’s words, the highest administrative officer of Yuezhou was also startled.

However, he wisely did not disclose this matter to others, continuing to act as if he had not received any calls.

At first, he thought that the two individuals from the special forces who had engaged in the fight were the main characters of the incident, but after the call, he realized that the main characters were the man and woman standing together.

The woman could possibly be a noble princess from Yanjing, and the man beside her definitely had a notable identity as well.

Whether the man was the woman’s brother or lover, they were both people of great importance.

Being a Yanjing noble was far beyond their reach; these grassroots officials couldn’t grasp the specifics.

Both this administrative officer and other officials knew that matters involving Yanjing’s nobility could end catastrophically if not handled carefully.

But they also knew that handling such a matter well could present an excellent opportunity, possibly allowing them to rise through the ranks.

While other officials were chatting with Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, Yuezhou’s highest administrative officer walked towards Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin. He smiled and extended his hand, “I am Mayor Ding Zhongming of Yuezhou. I did not expect such an incident to occur today, frightening both of you.”

Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment, but eventually reached out and shook his hand.

“Thank you very much, Mayor Ding, for coming despite your busy schedule,” Luo Ziling replied respectfully but assertively, “We came to Howling Mountain for a visit, and unexpectedly encountered this incident at the entrance of the scenic area. The renowned doctor from Yuezhou People’s Hospital was assaulted by criminals, and we could not stand by, so we intervened. Unexpectedly, the other party was so arrogant, calling many people to try to beat us to death, and even fired guns in the end. I originally thought such incidents would only happen in remote and poor regions, but I didn’t expect such evil forces to exist in economically developed Yuezhou.”

Mayor Ding was caught off guard by Luo Ziling’s blunt words and hurriedly apologized, “I’m really sorry, we will definitely investigate this incident thoroughly and handle it seriously. Those who endanger social treatment as criminals, we will definitely bring them to justice, and we will also pursue any officials who provide protection to such evil forces to the end.”

Luo Ziling calmly looked at Ding Zhongming, sharing his own thoughts, “I hope that this incident can have a final result that satisfies us and convinces everyone.”

“Definitely,” Mayor Ding replied without hesitation, then asked softly, “May I know how to address you and the lady?”

“My name is Luo Ziling, my ancestors are from Yuezhou. This visit was intended for family reunion, and also to show my girlfriend the lakes and mountains of Yuezhou.”

“Ah? Mr. Luo is actually from Yuezhou,” Ding Zhongming was quite surprised, then asked again, “May I ask what Mr. Luo does?”

“I study in Yanjing,” Luo Ziling answered, then pointed to Yang Qingyin, “This is my girlfriend. We came to Yuezhou to show her the scenery of my hometown, and also to visit the Luo Family Old Mansion.”

Luo Ziling did not specify Yang Qingyin’s identity, not even naming her, which left Ding Zhongming somewhat disappointed.

However, he did not pursue further questions, instead chuckling, “I hope that today’s incident hasn’t spoilt your mood.”

At this moment, the chief in charge of party affairs also came over.

He noticed his deputy had ignored Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, the main parties involved, and went directly to the young couple. He found this quite strange.

However, upon noticing the unusual demeanor of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, he quickly understood that these two were the key figures among those involved, so he came over immediately.

“This is Mr. Wu Jiandong of the Wu Jiandong Army,” Ding Zhongming made the introductions and then quickly pointed to Luo Ziling, “Mr. Luo is a native of Yuezhou, back for a family visit and to tour Yuezhou. The conflict occurred while they were helping righteously. That female doctor was beaten because of a car scratch, and they intervened. Unexpectedly, it attracted a large crowd, and almost lead to a serious incident.”

Ding Zhongming’s words surprised Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin, and the surrounding officials.

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin immediately realized that Mayor Ding might already be aware of their identities, or at least knew they were extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown such special courtesy.

Wu Jianjun and other officials were surprised because, as the local administrative chief, it was highly unusual for him to speak in favor of Luo Ziling’s side without a thorough investigation of the incident.

They were all politically very astute, especially Wu Jianjun.

Just like many places, officials responsible for administration and party affairs often competed, both overtly and covertly. Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming were no different.

Although they appeared amicable on the surface, the private competition continued.

This unexpectedly reasonable behavior from Ding Zhongming made Wu Jianjun alert.

Noticing the extraordinary air about Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, he immediately concluded that their identities were not ordinary.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were people of the special forces, but those they protected, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, must have even more special identities.

Realizing this, Wu Jianjun suddenly came to an understanding.
