Hu Wanshan was actually there to greet Li Yi.
For an antique exhibition of this scale, he, as the director of the city's Public Security Bureau, had to come and check the situation. When he was chatting in Director Tan's office, Yun Haiyong's call came in.
Hearing that Commander Yun's brother was coming to sell antiques, Hu Wanshan immediately accompanied Director Tan to greet them. He remembered how much respect Commander Yun had shown to this brother during their last dinner.
Hearing the car horn, Hu Wanshan looked over and saw that the person in the BMW was Li Yi. He was slightly taken aback and then ran even faster than Lu Yangcheng: "Oh, Brother Li, it's you here!"
"Ha ha, Secretary Hu, nice to meet you!" Li Yi nodded from the car and was about to get out.
Hu Wanshan was the deputy secretary of the city's Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the director of the Public Security Bureau. People in the police system liked to call him Director, while those in the political circles preferred to call him Secretary. Li Yi, following Yun Haiyong's lead, naturally called him Secretary.
Seeing that Li Yi knew their director, Chief of Public Security Lu Yangcheng and young police officer Min Yongkang were completely stunned.
But after Hu Wanshan greeted Li Yi, he immediately turned to look at Lin Ruxue in the passenger seat and called out loudly, "Auntie, you're here too?"
At this point, Lu Yangcheng and Min Yongkang were even more stunned. This beautiful woman was the director's aunt!
They had actually kicked the director's aunt's car and told her to get lost!
They had really messed up big time!
Lin Ruxue was even more surprised than the two police officers. I look much younger than you, why are you calling me auntie?
How is this generation calculated?
"Ha ha!" Li Yi pulled Lin Ruxue out of the car and said to Hu Wanshan half-jokingly, "Secretary Hu, you're mistaken. This isn't my mom, it's my wife!"
"Ah?" Hu Wanshan blinked, his face full of disbelief.
This woman was Li Yi's mom at the dinner yesterday, how did she become his wife all of a sudden? Can these two identities be switched?
"Stop staring, she just looks like my mom, she's not really my mom!" Li Yi laughed.
"My goodness!" Hu Wanshan couldn't help but scratch his head.
High-level people are indeed high-level, marrying a wife who looks exactly like his mom. Wouldn't that be confusing at home?
Seeing Hu Wanshan in a state of confusion, Lin Ruxue finally understood what was going on. It turned out the director had mistaken her for her sister!
"Stop fooling around!" Lin Ruxue pinched Li Yi and then smiled at Hu Wanshan, explaining, "You know my sister, right? My sister is his mom. My sister and I are twins, so we look the same. This kid has always been informal with me, I'm actually his aunt, my name is Lin Ruxue!"
"Oh, so you're the aunt!" Hu Wanshan suddenly understood.
I thought it was impossible to marry a wife who looks exactly like your mom. That would be a disaster!
"Aunt, Brother Li, let me introduce you. This is Director Tan Mingcheng from the Provincial Culture Department, the organizer of this exhibition. Director Tan, this is Commander Yun's brother, Li Yi, and this is Commander Yun's aunt, Ms. Lin."
Hu Wanshan wasn't quite sure about the relationship between Li Yi and Yun Haiyong, but he guessed that Li Yi's aunt was Commander Yun's aunt.
"What, Commander Yun's brother?" Chief of Public Security Lu Yangcheng's face turned pale, and cold sweat rolled down.
Min Yongkang, however, still didn't understand the situation and asked in a low voice, "Captain, who is Commander Yun?"
"You idiot, how many Commander Yuns are there in Tangshui City?"
"Ah?" Min Yongkang finally remembered that this young man was a relative of a big shot!
Good grief, I just kicked his car and wanted to detain him. I really asked for it!
"Mr. Li, Ms. Lin, nice to meet you, I'm really sorry. After receiving Commander Yun's call this morning, I had already arranged a booth for you, but I forgot to notify the gatekeepers." Tan Mingcheng bowed.
"No problem, no problem. I was actually a last-minute addition, so I caused you more trouble!" Li Yi, seeing others being polite, naturally followed suit.
"Stop staring, quickly move aside and let Mr. Li drive in!" Hu Wanshan shouted at Lu Yangcheng and Min Yongkang.
"Yes, yes!" Lu Yangcheng and Min Yongkang responded in unison.
But Hu Wanshan wasn't done with them yet. He scolded them harshly, "Captain Lu, who did you tell to get lost? As a leader, you set a bad example by being violent. You've disgraced us all in the police force!"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong!"
Lu Yangcheng was almost suffocating with frustration. If you hadn't told me to handle it quickly, would I have come over to scold them? In the end, I didn't get any benefits, but I got into trouble!
"Write a self-criticism when you get back!" Hu Wanshan said.
Lu Yangcheng's face turned green. For such a trivial matter, you want me to write a self-criticism? You scold people more than I do, and you've told me to "get lost" countless times!
But the leader was angry, so he didn't dare to argue and could only respond, "Yes, I'll write it when I get back!"
"Look at the kind of people you lead!" Hu Wanshan turned to Min Yongkang, "What's your name, young man? Why did you kick the car?"
"I... I..." Min Yongkang stammered, unable to say a word.
Hu Wanshan accidentally glanced at Li Yi's BMW and suddenly noticed a dent in the car door. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Good grief, you actually kicked a dent in Brother Li's BMW!"
"What?" Min Yongkang was shocked and turned to see the dent!
This can't be possible!
Min Yongkang pulled at his hair in frustration. Kicking a dent in someone's BMW, how much would that cost? He had just started working this year, and his salary wouldn't be enough!
Hu Wanshan's forehead was also sweating. Kicking a dent in someone's BMW was no small matter. If this got to the ears of the higher-ups, saying the police were violent and kicked someone's car, with Hu Wanshan standing by, his position as director would be in jeopardy.
"Alright, Secretary Hu, no need to scold them. They were just doing their job!" Li Yi said from the side.
Li Yi liked to return respect with even more respect. Since Hu Wanshan had given him face, he didn't need to pursue the matter further. After all, it was just a misunderstanding.
Hu Wanshan carefully examined the BMW's door and shook his head, "Brother Li, our police officer kicked your car like this, it's not a small matter! Captain Lu, this young man..."
"His name is Min Yongkang," Lu Yangcheng said softly.
"Right, Min, you kicked Mr. Li's car and must compensate. Do you have any objections?" Hu Wanshan asked.
"No objections," Min Yongkang almost said in a sob.
When the director asks if you have any objections, what objections could you have?
It looks like I'm going to lose a lot of money! A BMW, with a big dent in the door!
"Alright, alright!" Li Yi waved his hand.
Actually, the dent had been there for a while, but Min Yongkang hadn't noticed it, so it wasn't his fault.
But Li Yi didn't want to reveal this. He just said, "It's just a misunderstanding. This young man was just doing his job. No need for him to compensate. He hasn't been working long, how much salary could he have? Just remember to be more careful in the future and don't act rashly!"
"How can that be? This is a BMW, and it will cost a lot to repair!" Hu Wanshan said.
Li Yi said generously, "This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for me, it's nothing. Don't make it hard for this young man!"
"Repairing a BMW is just a drop in the bucket!" Hu Wanshan couldn't help but marvel in his heart. This brother of Commander Yun is indeed a person with a background!
Since this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for him, Hu Wanshan didn't insist and turned to Min Yongkang sternly, "Haven't you thanked Mr. Li for his generosity yet?"
"Mr. Li, I was wrong just now, I'm really sorry. Thank you for your generosity!" Min Yongkang said in a trembling voice.
At this point, Lu Yangcheng also came over and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I was also violent and scolded you, I was wrong!"
"Alright, it's good to admit your mistakes!" Li Yi nodded, "Everyone is waiting, let's go in!"
"Okay, okay!" The two police officers moved aside.
