At this moment, Cheng Yuannian looked indignant as if he hated the paparazzi. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wu Lei was the Minister, so he was well-informed. He had informed Chief Wei immediately. However, I had a feeling that the two of them didn't have a good relationship.
Chief Wei looked travel-worn, but he calmly served us tea and told Cheng Yuannian about the situation. It was obvious that he was stalling for time. Of course, he couldn't be careless with what Wu Lei had told him. Now that he had delivered the news, he didn't need to worry about whether Cheng Yuannian could send me away in time.
However, after hearing Cheng Yuannian's words, the paparazzi were frightened. Their fearless attitude was gone, replaced by fear.
"Cheng Yuannian, you can't do that. Don't forget, Sister Huan is your niece!"
"Niece? So what?
Haven't you heard of the saying, 'When the Emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people?' "
Cheng Yuannian was flustered and exasperated. The latter didn't say a word, and Sister Huan's face also grimaced.
At this critical moment, she understood the situation. It wasn't that her uncle didn't want to help her, but he couldn't afford it!
"How about it, Little Brother Zhuang? How do you feel about this?" Cheng Yuannian smiled apologetically.
"It's okay. But I think half a year is a little short. It won't work on those stubborn fellows," I pondered.
"Haha, that's easy. One year it is!" Cheng Yuannian hurried to change his mind.
"Tsk, tsk. You're worthy of being the second-in-command. Whatever you say goes. You don't even need to ask the first-in-command," I teased.
Cheng Yuannian was stunned, and he instantly turned into a frosted eggplant. Chief Wei was still on the side. If I said something like that, I would undoubtedly make a fool out of him. As expected, Chief Wei's face was dark and he looked a little scary.
"No, no. I mean, for a fellow who doesn't know what's good for him, Chief Wei won't mind even if we lock him up for a year." Cheng Yuannian was smart enough to dodge the question.
"Yeah, I'm a little sleepy. Do you have a place to rest?" I yawned. I didn't want to dwell on this matter.
"Yes, Little Brother Zhuang, let me take you there." Chief Wei smiled.
But Cheng Yuannian hurriedly stopped him. "Wait a moment, Little Brother Zhuang, don't. Our resting room is very simple and the blanket is thin. It's getting cold. If you catch a cold, I won't be able to explain myself."
"It doesn't matter if I have a strong body. Moreover, I'm not picky. It's fine as long as I can lie down." I waved my hand.
Seeing me stand up and prepare to follow Chief Wei, Cheng Yuannian kneeled on the ground with a plop, then hugged my thigh and said with tears and snot, "Little Brother Zhuang, I'm begging you, our temple is small, and can't hold a great Buddha like you. Go home and rest, I, Cheng, have elders and children to take care of, I'm begging you to lift your leg."
Seeing that time was ticking away, he couldn't stay calm at all. With Minister Wu's style of doing things, she would definitely do what she said, so Cheng Yuannian knelt down without hesitation. Whether or not he could keep his golden rice bowl depended on my mood. The feeling of being trampled on wasn't a good one at all.
If he knew it would be like this, Cheng Yuannian wouldn't have supported Sis Huan no matter what. It was purely because he had nothing better to do. Originally, he was happily sleeping with his wife at home, but he received Sis Huan's call for help. Cheng Yuannian thought that this matter could be easily settled, but when Sis Huan called him again, Cheng Yuannian immediately took it seriously.
He specifically told the police to be polite to me. But now, not only did he not receive Lord Zhan Long's praise and promise, but he also received the most terrifying few minutes of his life. Ai, in the current situation, it's really easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away!
"Let go." I frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
Cheng Yuannian instinctively shook his head.
"If you don't let go, I'm going to make a move. If you can take a palm strike from me, I'll leave immediately." I shrugged. Being hugged by a man like this gave me goosebumps.
"Ah!"
Cheng Yuannian's expression tensed. With my strength, forget about using my full strength, even if I only used a tenth of my destructive power, he would still be beheaded and die on the spot. Although Cheng Yuannian was panicking, he still hugged me tightly after a short moment of hesitation.
"Little Brother Zhuang, go ahead and chop him."
Even if there was only a sliver of a chance of survival, Cheng Yuannian didn't want to let it go. He had worked hard for half his life to reach his current height. He didn't want it to vanish into thin air overnight.
"Eh?" I couldn't help but be surprised and stared at Cheng Yuannian a few times.
Oh my god, this fellow was really a good official. In order to keep his official position, he was willing to give up his life!
"Forget it, forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. After all, you're just an innocent bystander. We'll deal with them according to what you said. Remember to treat others with more respect in the future."
I sighed inwardly. Minister Wu had spoken. As for what to do, it was up to me. It was just a small matter. It was just that these paparazzi felt good about themselves and wanted to find the second-in-command to help them. Now, they finally understood how stupid they were.
"Ah!"
Cheng Yuannian felt that happiness had come too suddenly. Just now, he had prepared himself to be paralyzed, but I had changed my mind at the last moment.
"Little Brother Zhuang, are you making fun of me?" Cheng Yuannian asked in surprise.
"I'm not that bored. Why would I make things difficult for a good official like you, who can give up his life for his official position?" I curled my lips and said.
"Aha, Little Brother Zhuang is overpraising me." Cheng Yuannian couldn't help but blush. He didn't care if I was mocking him or not.
"How is it? Did you finish your tea?"
Originally, I just wanted to scare Cheng Yuannian. I didn't plan to spend the night here. However, since his attitude was so humble, I couldn't continue to be aggressive.
I found that Hsieh Shih-chi and Tang Mengyun's expressions were strange. First, it was Young Master Fan, and now, it was the leader of the Public Security Bureau. Even Hsieh Shih-chi, who had been in contact with many successful people, didn't know what was going on. What kind of height had I climbed to that made Chief Wei treat me so respectfully?
She was sure that even if she called the CEO of the company and asked him to contact Chief Wei, it wouldn't be so easy. After all, he was a big shot in a high position. He knew what was important and what was not.
