After saying that, Wolong turned around and walked into the courtyard.
The young man was not angry when he saw Wolong's attitude; his smile remained unchanged.
Instead, I thought to myself: People from Hong Kong are really different. So many rules! They even have to announce themselves... But it does make them seem more impressive and professional. That's how you make someone seem formal! They really are from Hong Kong; their identity is not simple.
The secretary turned around and reported the situation to the leader behind her.
The leader waved his hand and said, "Alright, then let's wait a bit."
Not long after, footsteps could be heard coming from inside the courtyard.
Chen Dong, along with Wolong, the Fox, and the Tiger's family, all came out.
The leaders recognized them immediately; Chen Dong was the one in charge.
Because the dragon and the tiger look like bodyguards.
The tiger's family members, on the other hand, were clearly dressed as locals and were definitely not the people they were looking for.
Chen Dong went to greet them, and the leaders also entered through the door.
One of the leaders smiled and spoke to Chen Dong:
"You must be Mr. Chen! Welcome, welcome to Xijing City! I am Wu Jianfeng, the mayor of Xijing City."
"Mayor Wu, hello! I am Chen Dong. I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way!" Chen Dong said with a faint smile.
Then, he shook hands with Mayor Wu.
Mayor Wu was very enthusiastic and shook hands firmly.
He said apologetically, "No, no, no, it's our fault for not doing our job well and for startling you!"
Chen Dong frowned: "I'm fine, but the problem is that my friend's family has been greatly affected!"
Upon hearing this, Mayor Wu immediately turned to the tiger's parents, "These must be your friend's family members, right? Hello, elders! I'm so sorry to have startled you; it's our fault for not doing our job properly!"
As Mayor Wu spoke, he shook hands with Chen Dong's father and mother.
The elderly couple were extremely nervous, their faces plastered with smiles.
They wiped their hands on their clothes several times before shaking hands with Mayor Wu.
Mayor Wu then approached Zhang Xiaoyu, bowed deeply, and said, "I'm so sorry! I apologize for what happened to you. It was our mistake! We've wronged you."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoyu was already in tears, covered her mouth with her hand, and began to sob.
Zhang Xiaoyu's parents, meanwhile, were so nervous they didn't know what to do, repeatedly saying, "You can't do this, you can't do this..."
Seeing the scene before him, Chen Dong nodded to himself, then shook his head secretly.
He nodded because he saw the importance the leaders here placed on his group, which gave him more assurance for his next steps.
Everything's settled!
He shook his head because he saw the tiger's parents' behavior.
They were bullied by thugs precisely because Mayor Wu failed in his duty. His apology is too lenient!
If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!
However, they cannot even accept such a small apology, which shows how much influence traditional ideas have on them.
He knew that the tiger's parents must be thinking that the person in front of them was the mayor, the mayor of Xijing City, a high-ranking official. He was actually shaking hands with them, these farmers, and it seemed like he was trying to curry favor with them.
Sure enough, as the tiger's father shook hands with the man, he began to ponder in his heart:
These people came in and immediately started saying nice things and smiling obsequiously; they didn't seem to be there to cause trouble. Maybe things really will be fine, just like Boss Chen said?
Police officers are also subject to government control.
Thinking of this, the tiger father finally felt a sense of relief.
After shaking hands with Tiger's parents, Mayor Wu introduced the other leaders who had come with him to Chen Dong.
Among them were the director of the Xijing City Investment Promotion Bureau, the director of the Foreign Affairs Office, the county head of Linhe County, and the director of the county's investment promotion office.
They all warmly shook hands with Chen Dong, and then shook hands with the tiger's parents.
The pleasantries were over.
"Please come in quickly!" The tiger's father ushered everyone into the house.
As they walked to the middle of the courtyard, they suddenly heard a sound.
"Uh, uh, uh..."
"Help!"
The sound came from the direction of the haystack by the yard.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw several people tied up and lying on the ground.
Several pistols lay scattered around them.
"What's going on?" The leader was startled and looked at the bureau chief next to him.
The bureau chief, of course, also saw the guys lying on the ground and their guns.
At this moment, he was absolutely furious.
These are our own people?!
Damn it, this is an enemy who's just asking for trouble!
He had seen them long ago, so he gave them signals and gestures, telling them not to speak yet.
But whether they didn't see it or not, they couldn't wait to speak.
This is a slap in the face to the leader!
I was wondering why I didn't see anyone in those two police cars parked outside. Turns out they're here!
Many leaders saw it and were all greatly surprised: What's going on?
They turned their attention to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong smiled faintly and said, "These people said they were police officers here to arrest people, but they had neither identification nor an arrest warrant. They just came up and tried to take me away."
"What? These people actually want to take Mr. Chen away?" The police chief and the other leaders were all shocked when they heard this.
“We originally came here to visit our friend’s parents and family, but as soon as we arrived, we ran into a thug who tried to take my friend’s sister away. We chased them away. Not long after, they came and tried to arrest us.”
