"Meimei?" Looking at the little girl in front of him, He Dong was instantly stunned.
"Uncle who can fly, can you take me flying again?" Meimei looked at him with her big, adorable eyes, her little face flushed with excitement, like a ripe apple that made one want to take a bite.
"Meimei! Mr. He, you and Meimei...?" Scar actually looked even more surprised.
"Huh? You know this little one too?" He Dong didn't answer Scar's question but asked in return.
"Meimei is our boss's daughter!" Scar replied truthfully.
"Uh...! It's actually like that!" He Dong glanced at Meimei with a somewhat stunned look, thinking that such a cute little girl was actually a boss's daughter.
When He Dong carried Meimei and followed Scar, who had a strange expression, into the Emperor Hall, everyone in the room was stunned. Especially Lei An, who was sitting in the middle and had planned to give He Dong a hard time before talking, he stood up abruptly, even knocking over the teacup in front of him.
"Daddy, the flying uncle, this is the flying uncle!" Finally, Meimei's childish voice broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Flying uncle? Is he the uncle who brought you back last time?" Lei An asked in surprise.
"Uncle can fly very high, and he can throw bombs too!" Meimei said cutely.
"Bombs? What are those?" Lei An asked, still in shock.
"Uh, this...! Cough, cough! Brother Lei, right?" He Dong, fearing that Meimei would mention his water ball experiment, quickly coughed and interrupted their conversation.
"Uh! Brother He!" Lei An, who was still a bit confused, responded to He Dong's call.
Because of Meimei's appearance, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became strange, and even the faint hostility gradually dissipated. As the banquet was set up and a few drinks were downed, everyone slowly became more familiar.
"Brother, the ambush on you was all my doing. I apologize first!" Scar, who had a straightforward personality, raised his glass and said to He Dong.
"Brother Scar, you said before that it was a misunderstanding. Besides, I'm fine now!" He Dong smiled and drank a toast.
"That's because you're skilled. Don't laugh at me, but the six people I sent out were also good hands in our Lei An Security, but they were no match for you!" Scar said with a bitter smile.
At the table, everyone was very polite, and He Dong even occasionally played with Meimei, who was always clinging to him. Meimei's cute and innocent appearance made He Dong genuinely like her. As the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious, Lei An finally found an opportunity to slowly speak his mind.
"You were blamed by Bao Ming? But Bao Ming shouldn't blame you; he should blame the culprit, Sun Sheng!" He Dong finally understood Lei An's thoughts but still asked in confusion.
"Bao Ming is Deputy Mayor Liu Ke's confidant, and Liu Ke is Sun Sheng's uncle!" Lei An pointed out the relationship.
"I see! But, Brother Lei, I'm just an ordinary citizen! I can't do anything about the conflicts at your level." He Dong waved his hand and said.
"Brother He, with your relationship with Mayor Wang...!" He Dong's refusal made Scar speak urgently.
"Brother Scar, I think you should have investigated me. I don't have any close relationship with Mayor Wang. I just saved his brother once by chance. Do you think I can influence a mayor's decision with such a relationship?" He Dong said with self-awareness.
"Ah!" He Dong's words made Lei An and the Eight Diamonds very disheartened. They had thought about these things, but before meeting He Dong, they still held out a glimmer of hope. Now, hearing it from He Dong's mouth, their last hope was completely shattered.
"Damn it, if it doesn't work, we'll fight him!"
"Right, one life for one life, I'll take care of that old bastard Bao."
"Fight, it's just a life!"
"Since Bao won't let me live, I won't let him have it easy either!"
"Even if I die, I'll take him down with me!" After a few seconds of silence, the Eight Diamonds, who were not kind-hearted, finally burst out.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" However, these people completely ignored the little child who was only four or five years old. Meimei, who had been playing happily with He Dong, was suddenly scared by the burst of anger and started crying loudly.
"Shut up, all of you!" Meimei's crying made Lei An's heart ache, and he directly shouted at the Eight Diamonds.
With Lei An's suppression and He Dong's soothing, the Eight Diamonds gradually calmed down, and Meimei wiped away her tears and continued to play happily with He Dong.
"Brother He, I'm sorry!" After everyone calmed down, Lei An apologized for their earlier impulsiveness.
"It's okay, all of you are straightforward people. But I also want to advise you, impulsiveness can't solve any problems! Whatever difficulties you have, think calmly. A living person can't be stifled by a little trouble!" He Dong advised.
"What can we do? Unless Bao Ming is no longer the police chief!" Scar said angrily.
"How can we make Bao Ming no longer the police chief?" He Dong continued to ask.
"That's impossible. Not only is Bao Ming cunning and shrewd like a thousand-year-old fox, but he is also Liu Ke's top confidant. Liu Ke is a local official who grew up in Tianyang City, rising from an ordinary staff member in a village to his current position. He has deep roots and is said to have connections above. Now, with the economic support of the Sun family, his word is more powerful than Mayor Wang's in Tianyang City. In this situation, who can take down his confidant? Unless...!" Lei An said, then shook his head.
"Unless what?" He Dong asked curiously.
"Unless Bao Ming makes a huge mistake, and someone catches him in a crime or he gets involved in a major case!" Lei An said, frowning.
"Oh!" He Dong nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
"Brother He, if you can help us get through this crisis, I'll give you Lei An Security! We will all listen to you!" Seeing He Dong's thoughtful expression, Lei An suddenly clenched his teeth and said something shocking.
"What?" Lei An's words not only stunned He Dong but also the Eight Diamonds.
