Chapter 476

Lu Xiaoya said, "But aren't you going back?"

Su Xinghui said, "It’s fine. Besides, if this isn't made clear, I can't leave."

Su Xinghui scratched Lu Xiaoya’s palm gently. Although Lu Xiaoya didn't understand the meaning, she was a smart person, so she didn't speak.

Yang Jiong used his walkie-talkie to call another police car, taking Su Xinghui, Lu Xiaoya, Yuan Kang, and others, as well as the few thugs groaning on the ground, back to the Public Security Bureau. He handed Yuan Kang, the glamorous woman, and the few thugs to the Public Security Brigade, but took Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya to his own office.

As soon as he entered his office, Yang Jiong laughed, "Mayor Su, Reporter Lu, don't take offense. Just now, in front of outsiders, I had to offend you."

Su Xinghui laughed, "Captain Yang is too polite. What offense is there? You handled it perfectly."

Lu Xiaoya then understood what was going on, and she laughed too.

Yang Jiong said, "I was patrolling another street in my car just now and saw a group of people gathering from afar, thinking something had happened, so I rushed over. I didn't expect it to be you, Mayor Su. What happened today?"

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya and I were drinking coffee in the coffee shop this afternoon. Yuan Kang might have been drinking coffee in the coffee shop too and saw me. I had a conflict with him before, so he called those thugs to wait for me at the door. As soon as I came out, they looked for trouble and wanted to beat me, but they couldn't beat me and were beaten by me instead."

Who was Yang Jiong? He had seen such things many times. Looking at the appearance of those thugs, as well as the sticks, water pipes, and daggers on the ground, he knew that what Su Xinghui said couldn't be false. Su Xinghui was a dignified town mayor, and he was shopping with his girlfriend. Was he bored enough to go to the streets of Jiangcheng to find trouble with a few thugs holding weapons?

Since the rights and wrongs were clear, Yang Jiong felt relieved. He could do Su Xinghui a favor without violating principles or his conscience. This was too cost-effective.

He smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Mayor Su, I didn't expect you to be so skilled. If I didn't know you were a college student, I would have thought you were from the military."

Su Xinghui laughed faintly, "I just learned some kung fu from an elder, it’s nothing. I can only blame these few thugs for being too useless."

Yang Jiong said, "Mayor Su, you’re too unkind. Didn't I tell you to find me when you come to Jiangcheng so I can treat you to a meal? Why did I run into you again today?"

Su Xinghui laughed, "I’m really sorry, Captain Yang. I came here today to celebrate my college teacher’s birthday. I had the birthday banquet at the hotel at noon and was planning to return to Pengjiawan in the afternoon, so I didn't plan to eat here, which is why I didn't call you. Next time if I stay in Jiangcheng for two more days, I’ll definitely call you and treat you to a meal."

Yang Jiong nodded and laughed, "Alright, then it’s a deal!"

Su Xinghui said, "I’ll definitely call you before I come next time."

Yang Jiong nodded and said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, regardless, you still have to make a statement. I’ll call a policeman from the Public Security Brigade to take your statement, what do you think?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright, but Captain Yang, I have to borrow your office phone. I agreed with a classmate to return to Shangjun today, and he might be worried if he can't find me later."

Yang Jiong said, "Feel free to use the phone, I’m going."

After Yang Jiong went out, Su Xinghui called Min Tong. As soon as Min Tong heard it was Su Xinghui, he said, "Don't worry, I’m already on the road, I’ll be there in a bit."

Su Xinghui said, "Min Tong, I’m at the Jiangnan District Public Security Branch now."

Min Tong asked, "Why are you at the Public Security Bureau? Did something happen?"

Su Xinghui said, "I ran into a little trouble just now, but it’s nothing major. I’m using the Public Security Bureau’s phone to call you, so it’s not convenient to talk. Wait for me at the gate of the Public Security Bureau later, I won't be out too late."

Min Tong said, "Alright, I’ll wait for you at the gate."

After hanging up, Lu Xiaoya asked, "Do you want to call my dad?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "It’s fine, no need to call, it would only make your dad worry. Don't tell your dad after you go back today."

Lu Xiaoya nodded. Just then, Yang Jiong brought a young policeman in to take Su Xinghui’s statement. Perhaps because Yang Jiong had given a heads-up, the young policeman’s attitude was very good, and he finished taking the statement in a short while.

After finishing the statement, the young policeman went out, and Yang Jiong sat with Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya, brewed a cup of tea for each of them with his own tea leaves, and chatted with them.

After a while, a policeman came in and whispered something in Yang Jiong’s ear. After hearing it, Yang Jiong nodded and let the policeman go out.

Yang Jiong said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, those people have all confessed. It was indeed Yuan Kang who called them to look for trouble with you."

Su Xinghui laughed, "Then can I go now? I’m still waiting to go back."

Yang Jiong said, "Mayor Su, how do you plan to deal with these people?"

Su Xinghui said, "How to deal with them isn't up to you to decide? Why are you asking me?"

Yang Jiong said, "Those few thugs will be dealt with as they should be. Since they didn't cause you any substantial harm, it’s estimated that it will only be administrative punishment, detention, fines, etc."

Su Xinghui said, "That’s fine, deal with them as they should be dealt with, no need to increase their punishment because of me."

Yang Jiong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mayor Su, it’s like this, this Yuan Kang, his uncle has some background."

Su Xinghui asked, "What background?"

Yang Jiong lowered his voice and said, "His uncle is Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee."

Secretary Zhang? Su Xinghui pondered. That should be Zhang Shiguang, Deputy Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee. Among the several secretaries and deputy secretaries of Jiangcheng City, only he had the surname Zhang.

Zhang Shiguang? He was also in the faction of Governor Tian Chengzu. When he had a conflict with Tian Xiaotao’s group in Menghuling, his son Zhang Chenxi was also present. This Yuan Kang was Zhang Shiguang’s nephew, so he did have some background.

However, how did this Yuan Kang get to know Sun Xuefei? He had such a background and money, so why was Sun Xuefei willing to break up with him? Su Xinghui couldn't quite figure it out. He didn't remember these things happening in his previous life. It seemed his rebirth had caused many things to change; this could be considered a butterfly effect.

Having a grudge with the nephew of the Deputy Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee didn't bother Su Xinghui. He had already had a grudge with the governor’s son, and it was a deep-seated hatred, so what was a grudge with Yuan Kang?

Su Xinghui asked Yang Jiong, "Captain Yang, what do you mean then?"
