Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: Cautious and Careful

However, Wu Jianjun couldn’t possibly do as Ding Zhongming did and show direct good intentions towards Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.

Because by doing so, it would be out of place and laughed at.

As an official governing a region, he must maintain his own principles in handling matters and cannot afford to have any loopholes for others to exploit.

Thus, he asked Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin about the incident authoritatively, and after a few inquiries, he expressed his apologies, stating that Yuezhou would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and make it public through the media.

For the criminals who broke the law, there would be no leniency or accommodation; they would be punished severely in accordance with the law.

Then, he tactfully inquired about Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling’s situation, hoping to deduce their identities from their answers.

However, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin did not reveal their identities; Yang Qingyin’s name was not even mentioned.

Wu Jianjun still had his ways to find out, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he told Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin that he hoped they would cooperate with the police investigation, as this was a necessary procedure, insisting that the information of both parties involved must be included in the investigation report.

Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling did not cause any trouble for the police officers present and shared their identification information with them.

When Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming saw that Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin had given their identification information, including their ID numbers, to the police handling the case, they almost simultaneously gestured to the people around them.

The two people standing next to Ding Zhongming and Wu Jianjun immediately understood.

After they took down Luo Ziling’s and Yang Qingyin’s names and identification information, they left on an excuse to ascertain their real identities.

In fact, by the time Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming arrived at the scene, the police had already clarified the general situation.

After further questioning the parties involved and the surrounding onlookers, the case was basically clear.

A car scrape incident with minor damages led to an escalated conflict.

Li Yufeng was the most innocent party involved; her car was hit by Wu Shiyan’s drunk subordinate, and she was beaten and injured as a result.

If Luo Ziling and others hadn’t come to her rescue, the outcome could have been even worse.

Luo Ziling, along with Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and Ye Xiaoli, only retaliated out of self-defense and could be considered legitimate defense.

Even if responsibility were to be investigated, it would only be regarded as excessive self-defense.

But with the five of them facing the frenzied attack of nearly a hundred people, no one could accept that their actions were excessive defense.

The sight of five people injuring over a hundred ruffians if not seen with one’s own eyes, no one would believe it.

It could only be said that Wu Shiyan had met his match today, beaten black and blue, and left to face legal sanctions.

Today’s incident could not be covered up by anyone, nor would anyone dare to appeal on behalf of Wu Shiyan.

Even if anyone made a plea, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming would withstand the pressure and ensure that relevant institutions examined the case fairly and justly.

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin treated these officials neither warmly nor coldly, and the officials no longer hovered around them.

Due to their different responsibilities, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming proceeded to fulfill their duties.

There were too many injured, some quite seriously, and they had to be rushed to the hospital.

Ding Zhongming was the official specifically in charge of these matters; such a major incident, lower-level officials could no longer bear the full responsibility.

Wu Jianjun had to oversee the bigger picture; he directed on-site officials to perform their duties and ensure absolute control of the incident’s development and conduct a strict investigation of media reports. Before the facts were fully uncovered, rumors must be resolutely eliminated.

The scene was tightly guarded, and no one was allowed to approach.

Soon, the secretaries of Ding Zhongming and Wu Jianjun–the people who went to check Luo Ziling’s and Yang Qingyin’s identities–almost returned to the two leaders at around the same time.

Originally, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming thought that with the identification information of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, they would be able to clarify their real identities quickly; however, the results of these checks using their identification information still could not clarify their specific identities.

In fact, they were unable to trace the parents or other social connections of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.

However, after hearing this result reported by the secretaries, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming both breathed a sigh of relief.

They understood that the identities of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were really complex, and could even be said to be mysterious to the point where outsiders were not allowed to know.

People whose real identities could not be traced through their identification information were indeed mysterious.

They naturally considered Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin to be scions of wealthy families, or even akin to “prince and princess” level figures.

They also understood that if today’s incident was not handled properly, they would both face trouble.

But if handled well, it might very well be an opportunity.

Therefore, after dealing with the scene, Wu Jianjun, ahead of Ding Zhongming, invited Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin, Yang Xiaodong, and the others to a nearby farmhouse restaurant for tea, with the stated purpose being to further understand today’s incident.

Naturally, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin would not refuse Wu Jianjun’s invitation.

After sitting down in the farmhouse restaurant, Yang Qingyin unexpectedly spoke up to Wu Jianjun saying, “Mr. Wu, I would like to make a request.”

“Miss Yang, please feel free to make any request,” he responded.

“We do not wish to see Dr. Li retaliated against afterward.”

Yang Qingyin’s unexpected request took Wu Jianjun by surprise, but he quickly agreed, “I’ll personally ensure that no one involved suffers from retaliation afterward. Dr. Li is listed among Yuezhou’s famous doctors; she’s a good doctor, and we must ensure her safety and livelihood.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wu,” Yang Qingyin replied with a bright smile, expressing her thanks before speaking again, “As for today’s incident, it’s regrettable that it became too big because the people with us couldn’t control their emotions, causing trouble for Mr. Wu and the other comrades. I truly apologize.”

There was deep meaning in Yang Qingyin’s words.

Her boldness to make a request directly to Wu Jianjun indicated she was fearless.

By referring to special figures like Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun as people with her, she indirectly told Wu Jianjun and the other officials that they were not average individuals; even the people protecting them belonged to special forces.

Wu Jianjun clearly understood Yang Qingyin’s implication and said cheerfully, “We should be the ones apologizing. As officials governing a region, we are responsible for creating the safest and most comfortable living and tourist environment for the locals and visitors. A local doctor and you visitors from outside, encountering such an incident at the entrance of the scenic area, almost being beaten severely, makes us, the local officials, feel extremely guilty.”

Pausing briefly, Wu Jianjun continued, “How about this? Tonight, a few of us Yuezhou officials would like to host a banquet to apologize to Mr. Luo, Miss Yang, and Dr. Li. We hope you can grace us with your presence.”

Wu Jianjun’s words caused both Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin to be momentarily taken aback.
