The person outside the door was Wang Chengshan, Wu Zikai's brother-in-law, who drove for leaders in the city.

Although he wasn't an official, he was close to high-ranking officials.

Then he is a trusted confidant who controls the resources.

Taking advantage of his position, he brought Wu Zikai to this market to make some extra money.

We should keep the good stuff within our own family.

Secondly, Wang Chengshan is henpecked.

His wife dotes on her younger brother, Wu Zikai, like the apple of her eye.

He rushed over as soon as he received the call. How dare someone be so blind as to cause trouble on his brother-in-law's turf? That's disrespecting him.

To look down on him is to look down on the leader.

Do you even want to stay in this place?

Upon seeing his sister, Wu Zikai immediately felt more confident and whispered a few words in his brother-in-law's ear.

Wang Chengshan, with a friendly expression, reached out to shake hands with Qin Yi as if to show goodwill: "Wang Chengshan, Municipal Party Committee Secretary, may I ask which unit you gentlemen are from?"

Qin Yi looked at him indifferently: "When did the municipal party committee have a leader surnamed Wang? I've never heard of him. Lao Jiang, give him a call and ask."

"yes."

Jiang Baiyuan made a move to pick up the phone on the table, but Wang Chengshan pressed him down, smiling apologetically, "Brother, brother, don't, don't call, let's talk it over, let's talk it over."

Jiang Baiyuan glanced at him. "Comrade Wang, you've got some nerve, letting your relatives collect protection money like this?"

Qin Yi placed the documents in front of Wang Chengshan, who stared wide-eyed in surprise, then looked at Qin Yi in disbelief.

He glared at his brother-in-law again, cursing inwardly at Wu Zikai, who was more trouble than he was worth.

He's just causing trouble for himself.

That's good now.

I can't handle this myself.

If things go wrong, you might lose your job.

Wang Chengshan wiped the cold sweat from his face, his heart burning with anger, but he dared not show it. He asked sincerely, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? Ask those guys if they smashed someone's stall or bullied a woman!"

Jiang Baiyuan ruthlessly tore off his face and threw it on the ground to stomp on it.

In the minds of these thugs, Wang Chengshan was a big shot, and now they fawned over Qin Yi and his group like lapdogs when they saw him.

Finally realizing the enormity of their mistake, they stood at the back, too afraid to speak.

Qin Yi said calmly, "I have already put forward the plan. The women comrades are willing to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Whether you choose to do so or not is up to you."

Qin Yi spoke lightly.

However, the group could not remain silent.

Wang Chengshan understood the whole story and immediately made a decision: "Comrade Qin, let these guys apologize to that comrade and compensate for the losses. What do you think..."

"Find a proper job right now, and don't bully others. If I see you again..."

Jiang Baiyuan paused mid-sentence, then looked at the group with a meaningful expression.

The meaning was clear: you can continue to hang around here, but if I see you again, I'll give you free meals.

Having seen this kind of situation many times, Wang Chengshan immediately patted his chest and promised to apologize to that comrade and compensate him for the losses first thing the next morning.

The incident had served as a wake-up call, and the three of them got up and left.

He ignored the people behind him who were bowing and scraping and apologizing.

As soon as he got in the car, Lin Changchun looked at Qin Yi excitedly: "Old Qin, who is that girl that your sister-in-law knows?"

Qin Yi glanced at him, hoping this simple-minded boy could find someone who wouldn't mind him, and slowly uttered, "Liu Shuang."

Lin Changchun opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

That little girl, Liu Shuang.

He felt that they were probably not a good match. Lin Changchun seemed not to have recovered from the shock and remained stunned for a long time.

The return journey was unusually quiet.

Lin Changchun looked at Qin Yi several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

As he got out of the car, Lin Changchun had a sudden inspiration and slapped his forehead: "Old Qin, does Liu Shuang have feelings for me?"

Qin Yi cupped his hands around a cigarette, lit it, took a slow drag, and looked pitifully at Lin Changchun: "You don't have that much nerve."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Lin Changchun glanced at him, then looked back at Jiang Baiyuan, who was watching the drama unfold.

"I, him, Lao Jiang, is he... is he a little abnormal?"

Jiang Baiyuan smiled faintly: "Those who reap what they sow will not live."

When Qin Yi returned home, Su Wan was lying on the bed reading a book. Knowing that she was not feeling well, Grandma Qin took over all the housework and wouldn't let her lift a finger.

She had nothing to do and couldn't fall asleep.

I just sit and read a book for a while.

Qin Yi leaned closer and asked, "What are you looking at so intently?"

"I think the words 'flowers adorn the branches, willows sway gently' are simple yet evoke a wealth of imagery."

Qin Yi pulled her into his arms and, through Su Wan's hand, read the contents of the book, "Ruan Lang Gui: Yearning for a Northern Journey." "It is indeed true."

Qin Yi left early in the morning. Su Wan knew it was for her sake, but she didn't know the specifics of how it was handled.

She turned around and saw a trace of blood on Qin Yi's hand. She sat up straight and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Qin Yi looked at it and saw that it was blood that had accidentally gotten on his skin when he was beating those thugs.

He hadn't noticed it before, but Su Wan's nervous appearance made him want to tease her.

"hiss."

Su Wan frowned, got up to find disinfectant supplies, and scolded him as she did so: "You're such a grown man, how can you not be more careful?"

"You attacked? Are you hurt anywhere else?" Su Wan asked Qin Yi, her expression tense.

Qin Yi let her look him over, a smile he couldn't suppress playing on his lips.

After checking and finding no other wounds, Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness."
