Chapter 8

Liang Jianqiang was right; this police car belonged to the police station, not to Chen Wei personally. As the Public Security Bureau chief, Liang Jianqiang had the authority to reallocate police resources, and he was even trading it for an Audi. No one would say he was being unfair.

But this move was indeed underhanded. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others like, let alone when his actions actually threatened Nan Ming's personal safety.

"An official one level higher can crush you, little brother. Who made you unwilling to advance for the sake of your family back then?" Liang Jianqiang was delighted, finally having the upper hand over you.

"Take the car away!" Liang Jianqiang smiled smugly and was about to sit in the passenger seat. Chen Wei's face fell, and he hurriedly tried to plead for mercy, even kneeling if necessary, to prevent Liang Jianqiang from taking the car away.

"Who dares to take it away?" Nan Ming was quicker, sitting in the passenger seat and taking out his phone to make a call.

"Go away, little guy, don't cause trouble." Liang Jianqiang, who knew Nan Ming, reached out to pull him down.

"An official one level higher can crush you, right?" Nan Ming raised his phone and showed it to Liang Jianqiang.

On the phone screen, the name "Lu ZhenGuo" was being dialed, blinding Liang Jianqiang's eyes.

"Wait..." Liang Jianqiang hurriedly tried to stop Nan Ming, but the call had already connected.

"Second Brother!" Nan Ming called out loudly, and on the other end, Lu ZhenGuo's voice, slightly smiling, replied, "Nan Ming, why did you think of calling me?"

"I miss you!" Nan Ming laughed cheerfully.

Chen Wei almost fell to the ground. This kid's ability to say what people want to hear was getting stronger and stronger. Had he ever thought of anyone?

"Miss me? You must be hungry for some good food." The voice on the other end laughed.

"Not at all, I just miss you." Nan Ming, surprised by Lu ZhenGuo's understanding, blushed.

Hundreds of kilometers away in Qingyang, in a spacious yet low-key office, Lu ZhenGuo was smiling as he answered the phone.

Secretary Xiao Liu was almost speechless. His boss was usually stern and had just scolded his subordinates for overbuilding in multiple cities, making Xiao Liu fear for his life. But in less than three minutes, the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

Lu ZhenGuo leaned back, subconsciously loosening his collar, clearly in a relaxed and pleasant mood. His gentle tone was not feigned.

He laughed, "If you miss me, come to Qingyang and I'll send someone to pick you up."

The other end said something that made Lu ZhenGuo laugh heartily.

It's no wonder Lu ZhenGuo was so happy to receive Nan Ming's call.

The day before yesterday, after leaving Wengji County and returning to Qingyang, Lu ZhenGuo had quickly arranged for the old man to be examined again, fearing that the examination in Wengji County might not be accurate and worried that the old man's heart might not withstand the shock.

The results were astonishing. The heart disease that had plagued the old man for over a decade had greatly improved, leaving several heart specialists in disbelief.

Even though the cardiology department of Qingyang University Affiliated Hospital was the best in the country, Lu ZhenGuo found it hard to believe and quickly instructed them to monitor closely.

For the past two days, each examination brought a surprise. This morning's report showed that the long-term coronary heart disease was gone. It was like a plot from a low-budget advertisement.

This gave the old man another chance to fulfill his lifelong aspirations, making Lu ZhenGuo extremely happy.

After careful consideration, Lu ZhenGuo had some strange thoughts. Although he found it absurd, the old man's attitude towards Nan Ming made him more convinced.

Receiving Nan Ming's call, he was naturally very friendly, as if they were family.

For someone like Nan Ming, material benefits were not effective. To win him over, only emotional investment would work.

If not for this, no matter how much Lu ZhenGuo appreciated Nan Ming, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about receiving his call.

Nan Ming was also surprised. Although he acted silly and cute, he was very clear in his mind. These big shots were typical political animals. It was already good that he could get through to him, let alone such enthusiasm.

But Nan Ming was a quick thinker and fearless, immediately leveraging his connections.

"Second Brother, my brother's superior, Liang Jianqiang, wants to report to you." Nan Ming said into the phone.

When Liang Jianqiang heard Nan Ming and Lu ZhenGuo talking, he almost cried. Seeing Nan Ming, he quickly bowed and pleaded. When Nan Ming said this, Liang Jianqiang almost knelt. Who was this kid, and why did he provoke him?

Lu ZhenGuo frowned, "Liang Jianqiang?" A slightly overweight, tall man's image appeared in his mind. If he remembered correctly, he was the Public Security Bureau chief of Wengji County. But what right did he have to report to him? Even the top leader of Wengji County didn't have that right.

But he couldn't refuse the kid. Lu ZhenGuo's frown smoothed out, "Give him the phone."

He buttoned up his collar, his face becoming stern again.

"Here, my second brother wants to talk to you." Nan Ming handed the phone to Liang Jianqiang.

Liang Jianqiang's hands trembled as he took the phone, as if Lu ZhenGuo were right next to him. He had spent a few days around Lu ZhenGuo, but he hadn't even had the chance to say a complete sentence.

His mind was blank, and he whispered, "Secretary Lu," his voice hoarse and unrecognizable.

Lu ZhenGuo, on the other end, was gentle, asking about the follow-up on the Li Tubin incident. Liang Jianqiang mechanically answered and handed the phone back to Nan Ming, "Secretary Lu wants to talk to you."

Nan Ming took the phone and chatted with Lu ZhenGuo for a while before hanging up.

Lu ZhenGuo's secretary, Xiao Liu, looked at the clock. The call lasted over twenty minutes. After hanging up, Lu ZhenGuo hummed a tune, clearly in a good mood. Seeing Xiao Liu still standing there, he waved, "It's noon, let's go eat!"

He walked out with his hands behind his back.

In the police station's backyard, it was quiet.

Nan Ming hung up and asked Liang Jianqiang, "Liang Brother, who said an official one level higher can crush you?"

"It... it was me." Liang Jianqiang was almost unable to stand, his legs trembling like a sieve.

At forty, he had never felt so scared that he wanted to wet his pants.

You brought in a savior who was not just one level higher, but a whole ocean higher!

"Do you know you were wrong?" Nan Ming asked again.

"I know I was wrong." Liang Jianqiang obediently lowered his head.

"Who's in charge here?"

"You are."

"Are you still going to take the car?"

"I dare not."

Even if Liang Jianqiang had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to take the car from Nan Ming again.

"Good to know." Nan Ming, smug, patted Liang Jianqiang's shoulder, making Liang Jianqiang feel as light as a feather, almost floating.

Chen Wei was sweating profusely. He also had Lu ZhenGuo's number, but he wouldn't dare to bother him for such a small matter. This kid's ability to leverage connections was truly embarrassing.

"Shouldn't you thank me today?" Nan Ming asked.

"Yes, I should thank you." Liang Jianqiang knew it clearly.

He had just talked directly to that person!

What a great honor!

Thinking back to what Nan Ming had said, "My brother's superior wants to report to you," he hadn't said anything bad about him but had given him a great favor.

This kid, who seemed to talk nonsense, was actually a genius!

How old was he?

And he always pretended to be harmless...

"Will you treat me to a big meal this afternoon?" Nan Ming asked.

Chen Wei finally fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

To pull such a big favor from Lu ZhenGuo just for a meal?

This kid had no future.

"What kind of magic is this?" In the courtyard, only He Shan didn't know what had happened.

If Chen Wei, the police station chief, was considered a figure in Wengji County, then Liang Jianqiang, the Public Security Bureau chief, was a big figure. Liang Jianqiang sincerely invited them, driving dozens of kilometers to a countryside restaurant for a meal of wild game.

Wild rabbits, wild chickens, wild boar, deer meat... although whether they were truly wild was questionable, and the taste didn't match the exquisite banquet prepared by the master chef that night, the dishes were novel, and Nan Ming enjoyed it.

After the meal, Liang Jianqiang asked respectfully, "Are you satisfied?"

"Temporarily satisfied." Nan Ming, patting his stomach and picking his teeth, "Whether I will be satisfied in the future depends on your performance." This meal cost Liang Jianqiang a lot, and he secretly vowed never to provoke this little master again.

We can't provoke him, but we can avoid him, right?

But should he really avoid him? Being able to report directly to that person was such a great honor...

What a happy dilemma.

Nan Ming was also satisfied, finally finding a long-term meal ticket.

And calling someone "Second Brother" was quite useful, not in vain for the few times he called.

But seeing Liang Jianqiang's tight-fisted payment, Nan Ming knew he probably didn't have much private money.

Nowadays, even big figures need to be cautious. In the past, someone at Liang Jianqiang's level wouldn't blink at treating someone to ten meals.

In a small place like Wengji County, why weren't there more rich people to exploit? It was really frustrating.
