Chapter 199: Why Did You Step In to Help Me?

When Director Lu walked in, Wang Kun looked as if he had seen a savior.

"Director Lu! You... how did you suddenly arrive?"

But Director Lu didn't look at Wang Kun at all; after entering, he glanced around and walked up to Jiang Feng.

"You are Jiang Feng, aren't you?"

Those words made Wang Kun so frightened he nearly jumped up, his eyes bulging.

What's going on? Director Lu actually knows Jiang Feng?

Could it be that Jiang Feng not only knows Huo Lao, but also has a connection with Director Lu?

What exactly is this guy's background?

At this moment, Wang Kun felt increasingly regretful.

He is just a small shrimp; what right does he have to meddle in these bigwigs' power struggles!

Jiang Feng was also at a loss; he was sure he had never met Director Lu before.

"I am Jiang Feng."

"As long as you are Jiang Feng, come with me..."

Director Lu confirmed the person was correct, and with a grand wave prepared to take Jiang Feng away.

"Hahaha!"

Huo Junshan beside them suddenly burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright! No wonder Divine Doctor Jiang wasn't nervous earlier; turns out Xiao Lu was backing you up! Seems I was unnecessary!"

Only then did Director Lu turn his head toward Huo Junshan, his face instantly showing a respectful expression as he hurried forward.

"Huo Lao! Why are you also here? No wonder we saw so many Provincial Government troops downstairs earlier; it was you who came."

Wang Kun quickly seized the chance, edged up to Director Lu, and lowered his voice.

"Director Lu! You're finally here! Huo Lao said he wants the Provincial Government troops to surround the entire Medical Administration, accusing us of illegally detaining Jiang Feng. What... what should we do?"

Director Lu frowned, turned his head and glared at Wang Kun, rebuking him in a stern tone.

"Nonsense! Who is Huo Lao? How could he possibly commit such blatant interference in a local department?"

He then shifted his tone, smiling at Huo Junshan.

"Huo Lao, I guess the Provincial Government troops you brought are just to protect your safety, right? After all, your status is noble, and the situation here is complicated; a little caution is always good."

Huo Junshan knew in his heart that Director Lu was smoothing things over for him, and he descended the steps, waving to the guards at the doorway.

"Alright, everyone, stand down; no need to stay here any longer."

"Yes! Commander Huo!"

The guards answered in unison and promptly left the office in an orderly fashion.

Wang Kun finally exhaled, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and silently thanked his luck that Director Lu arrived in time.

Director Lu ignored Wang Kun, turned his head toward Jiang Feng, and said,

"Doctor Jiang, I already know your situation; it's purely a misunderstanding. You have no problem, and I'll take you away now."

"No way!"

Wang Kun instinctively blocked, glanced at Sikong Tu beside him, and said with forced resolve.

"Director Lu! Jiang Feng is suspected of Regulation Violation Business; our Medical and Pharmaceutical Bureau just held an official meeting, produced a punitive document with solid evidence! According to the rules, he cannot leave temporarily and must cooperate with the investigation!"

Speaking so, he hurriedly rummaged through the desk drawer for the stamped punitive document, cupped it in both hands, and handed it to Director Lu.

"This is the formal decision passed by the meeting; take a look!"

Sikong Tu also knew Director Lu was hard to deal with, and spoke up at that moment.

"Director Lu, Director Wang is right; this is the Medical and Pharmaceutical Bureau's normal law‑enforcement procedure, and we cannot break the rules because of personal connections."

But Director Lu took the handed‑over document.

Without even glancing at it, he tore it apart with a ripping sound in front of everyone, ripping the document into two halves!

"You!"

Wang Kun widened his eyes, looking at Director Lu in disbelief.

"Director Lu! This... this is an official document! It's stamped!"

"What does a stamp change?"

Director Lu tossed the torn document onto the floor, his gaze cold.

"It's just an abusive‑authority violation document, completely without effect!"

He lifted his eyes to look at everyone.

"I now, in the name of the Director of Jiangnan Health Bureau, declare that this punitive decision against Mr. Jiang Feng and Ji Shi Tang is nullified immediately!"

Wang Kun was completely stunned, standing in place, his face pale as paper, his whole body trembling.

He never imagined Director Lu would be so decisive, tearing up the document and nullifying the punishment on the spot!

Sikong Tu's expression also turned sour, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, yet he dared not speak up again.

Director Lu is the top boss of the health system; if he truly wanted to pursue the matter, the fact that he colluded with Wang Kun in abusing authority could not be hidden.

"Furthermore..."

Director Lu also didn't let Wang Kun off, his gaze fixed on him.

"Wang Kun, as Jiangnan Medical Administration Director, you arbitrarily detained Doctor Jiang without any solid evidence and issued a violation punishment. I will discuss this matter with comrades in the bureau and give you a clear resolution!"

Those words caused Wang Kun's mental defenses to completely collapse, and with a thud he fell to his knees.

He repeatedly kowtowed to Director Lu.

"Director Lu! I was wrong! I was momentarily foolish! Please grant me another chance! I won't dare again!"

He was terrified to the core; if the abuse‑of‑authority label were placed on him, he would not only lose his black silk hat but might even end up in a big cell!

Lu Zhengming didn't bother to look at him, turned his head and laughed at Jiang Feng.

"Doctor Jiang, the matter is almost resolved here, let's go."

Jiang Feng made a respectful hand bow to Huo Junshan.

"Huo Lao, thank you for today."

"What are you being polite about!"

Huo Junshan waved his hand.

"As long as you're okay, the remaining mess can be handled by Xiao Lu."

Jiang Feng nodded, then followed Lu Zhengming, walking toward the Outside of the office.

Leaving behind Wang Kun, who was kneeling on the Ground, crying for help, and Sikong Tu, whose face was ashen.

Stepped out of the Jiangnan Medical Administration building.

Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Lu Zhengming beside him and couldn't help but ask.

"Director Lu, thank you for stepping in to help today. It's just…"

"We didn't know each other before; why are you helping me like this?"

Lu Zhengming heard that, gave a faint smile, and was about to answer when a crisp female voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Jiang Feng!"

Jiang Feng followed the voice and saw Shen Junyao panting heavily as she ran from the parking lot.

Shen Junyao ran up to him and grabbed his hand.

"Are you okay? They didn't give you any trouble, right?"

Lu Zhengming looked at the two of them, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Yao Yao, the matter you asked me to handle, I've already taken care of. Now Mr. Jiang is safe and sound; you must not forget the thing you promised me."

Hearing that, Shen Junyao's complexion changed slightly in an instant, and she said with some effort.

"Uncle Lu, I understand; I'll go home for a meal this weekend."

No wonder Lu Zhengming helped him so decisively, even tearing up official documents of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Bureau and even intending to investigate Wang Kun, it was all for Shen Junyao's sake.

He looked at Shen Junyao's flushed cheeks and felt a warmth in his heart.

Earlier at Ji Shi Tang, Shen Junyao couldn't help him directly because of Lei Zhen's pressure.

But she still contacted Lu Zhengming, begging him to intervene and save the person.

Lu Zhengming looked at the two, smiled, and said.

"Alright, I've already rescued the person for you; you can talk. I still have official duties to attend to, so I'm heading back to the headquarters."

Saying that, Lu Zhengming turned his head and left.

But Jiang Feng, looking at Shen Junyao's expression, seemed that something was off.

"Officer Shen, what's wrong with you?"
