Cheng Ran poured the hangover tea and brought it to Jiang Wanqing. She was thinking, picked it up and took a sip. It was a little hot, so she subconsciously put it down.
"Be careful, did you burn yourself?" He grabbed her hand anxiously, not caring that there were other people around, and blew on it to cool it down. "Wait until it cools down before you drink it, don't rush."
Don't rush... Yes, at this stage, whoever rushes first loses, Jiang Wanqing shook her head at Cheng Ran.
"I'm fine."
She gently pulled her hand back. Yang Chang looked at the two of them, oblivious to everyone else, and lowered his head.
It wasn't until Jiang Wanqing looked at him and said, "We won't change locations, we'll continue operating as usual. We'll announce it now."
"ah?"
Yang Chang opened his mouth in surprise. He really didn't expect Jiang Wanqing to be so stubborn. He felt a little uncomfortable. His interests made him want to persuade her to change her stance, but his morality told him that he shouldn't play tricks on his benefactor.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wanqing seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled. "You don't... want to be like Du Heng, do you? If so, I've really misjudged you again."
"No, no, Comrade Wanqing, please don't misunderstand!" He quickly waved his hand. "I'm just worried that you're facing too many difficulties and too much resistance. After all, it won't be long before news of today's events spreads. Even if you open for business, no one will come to cooperate. You'll be all alone. Of course, if you're determined, I'll definitely help you without hesitation. I'm not an ungrateful person. Although... I am indeed afraid that with your intelligence and talent, Beixin might return to its previous state under the dual pressure from you and Jiangnan..."
He scratched his head and spoke his true thoughts frankly and without fault or reproach. Jiang Wanqing raised an eyebrow.
"You still don't trust me enough. I'll give you two choices: either you follow my plan completely, or... I'll give you a piece of land to keep you from competition for at least three years. If you seize the opportunity, you can expand your business; if you don't, the younger generation will surpass you in three years, and that won't be my fault. Which do you choose?"
The air was quiet. Cheng Ran, who was standing to the side, stared intently at Yang Chang. Although he was not familiar with this guy, as Jiang Wanqing's husband, they were husband and wife.
If Cheng Ran feels that someone has any intention of betraying or stabbing Jiang Wanqing, he will regard that person as an enemy!
"Hmph, one can't have it all. Although I haven't been involved in your cooperation, I know that my Wanqing made a deal with you beforehand: each would get what they needed. She did it, but now, none of you are doing it?"
“Comrade Cheng, it’s not like that…” Yang Chang frowned. “Du Heng and I are definitely not the same kind of people, but people are complicated. I admit I’m conflicted, but I never thought of doing anything to harm Comrade Wanqing. If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose the first one!”
He hurriedly expressed his opinion, saying that he had witnessed Jiang Wanqing's abilities. Although she seemed to be facing some difficulties on the surface, he believed for no reason that as long as she got through it, he would rise to prominence along with her!
"Are you sure?" Jiang Wanqing asked again.
"Um!"
Gambling requires impulse, Yang Chang clenched his fist and nodded.
"Okay, now do as I say and help me spread the word about the opening. It's set for... three days from now!"
"So fast?"
"The sooner the better, to catch those beasts off guard. Besides, I also have another task to complete in these three days."
Jiang Wanqing narrowed her eyes. Since Du Heng wanted to compete with her, she wouldn't let him get away with it!
The villain tried to turn the tables, but she showed him what death truly meant!
"Alright, I'll go spread the word now, Comrade Wanqing, goodbye."
Yang Chang stood up, nodded slightly to Cheng Ran, and left.
After the outsiders left, Cheng Ran was able to speak to Jiang Wanqing without any reservations.
"In these three days, you plan to deal with Du Heng and Su Su?"
“One slap won’t kill them, but… I have to teach them a lesson. I’ll pack up later, and you come with me to report it to the police.”
"good."
After drinking the hangover tea and resting for a while, she and Cheng Ran went to the police station to report the case in the afternoon, just in time for the station to open.
She claimed to be a relative at a traditional banquet in Duheng. They drugged her and tried to assault her. Outsiders wanted to know why she and Cheng Ran were fighting, and this is the reason.
The police officers were astonished when they took his statement, but Cheng Ran's identity was undeniable...
“We will investigate what you have said thoroughly, but I must remind you that defamation and making false police reports will be punished more severely…”
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran slammed his hand on the table and looked at the policeman with a highly intimidating gaze.
"Are you questioning our motives for reporting this? I'm very uneasy about someone like you handling a case with subjective judgment. Get your supervisor out here!"
"This..." The man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misspoke. Please don't hold me responsible. I will definitely use 200% of my professional skills to handle the case. You can supervise the whole process. Please don't report this to my superiors. I beg you."
Upon hearing that he was going to report his superior, the policeman became nervous. He didn't see Cheng Ran's eyes soften at all and immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Wanqing, hoping that she could say a word for him.
The pressure has already been applied, and I believe this person won't dare to act recklessly. Jiang Wanqing tugged at Cheng Ran's sleeve.
"I believe this police officer will handle the case fairly and impartially, and won't be prejudiced or just follow the crowd, right? For example, first summon those Su family relatives who got us drunk that day to give a statement..."
Jiang Wanqing intentionally reminded him, and the policeman's eyes lit up, and he quickly expressed his opinion.
"Yes, yes, yes... I will definitely handle the case fairly and justly, and I will never let any criminal go! I will definitely give you an explanation, Commander Cheng, please have mercy..."
Some people are just thick-skinned; they won't take anything seriously unless you put them under some pressure. Cheng Ran still has some connections and influence with the authorities, so he's not too afraid of anyone causing trouble in this regard. As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.
"I'll give you three days. After three days, I want a definitive investigation result!"
"Okay...okay..."
The policeman wiped the sweat from his brow, and Cheng Ran decided not to pursue the matter further, deciding to wait three days to see the results before making a final decision.
"Let's go back."
Before he left the police station with Jiang Wanqing, he gave her a look, and she tugged at his sleeve.
"Don't scare people. Let's go. It's only three days. I can wait."
"You're in charge. Let's go."
Jiang Wanqing was his calming agent; she soothed him with just a few words. As soon as they left, the police station immediately set about investigating the truth of the matter.
Several of Su Su's relatives who attended the wedding were summoned to the police station that day. Some method was used, but some of them couldn't withstand the detention and interrogation and let slip some details. The next day, Su Su personally went to see Jiang Wanqing...
