The police arrived quickly, a large group of at least thirty or forty people. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a crackdown on organized crime. Instantly, everyone else in the store scattered like birds.
Su Wan had met the leading police officer before; he was the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team One of the Municipal Police Bureau.
Pan Jieming saw a group of Qi Mingxuan's bodyguards being grabbed by a group of unfamiliar faces. When he saw Su Wanshi, his eyes darkened. He then questioned Rong Shi sternly, "Who are you? How dare you lead people to commit violence in public!"
Pan Jieming was a member of Huang Jianhan's faction. Half a year ago, Pan Jieming was just a deputy director of a district police station. Because his sister became Huang Jianhan's mistress, and Huang Jianhan needed someone to keep an eye on Zhao Yongjun, Pan Jieming was transferred to the city police station as the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team under Huang Jianhan's manipulation.
Pan Jieming knew about the relationship between Qi Mingxuan and Huang Jianhan, so when he saw that the people who had clashed with Qi Mingxuan were all unfamiliar faces, he obviously sided with Qi Mingxuan and tried to hold Rong Shi accountable first. However, he did not expect that Shen Baiyan's woman would also get involved.
Now, he can only pretend not to know Su Wan and deal with the immediate trouble for Qi Mingxuan.
Su Wan also saw through Pan Jieming's intentions. She said with dissatisfaction, "Officer, you've misunderstood. The person who committed the crime and caused trouble is Qi Mingxuan. He kidnapped me. I want to report this to the police!"
Pan Jieming tilted his head at Su Wan, his eyes carrying a warning: "Is that so? Then you'll all come with me!"
When Pan Jieming gave the order, the officers were about to take action.
Rong Shi gave Jinlong a look, and Jinlong immediately signaled the others to remain calm.
Seeing Su Wan being held captive by Pan Jieming's men, Qi Mingxuan looked at him with displeasure: "Are you taking my people away?"
Pan Jieming glanced at Su Wan, then gave Qi Mingxuan a fawning smile, looking embarrassed: "President Qi, this... I'm in a difficult position."
"Do I need to call Huang myself?" Qi Mingxuan's warning was quite clear.
Pan Jieming conceded: "No need for that."
Immediately, he ordered the policeman holding Su Wan, "Let her go!"
Seeing that she was about to return to the wolf's den, Su Wan immediately called out, "Wait!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
Su Wan's eyes flashed, and she arrogantly raised her head to look coldly at the corrupt Pan Jieming: "Do you know who he is?"
When Rong Shi saw Su Wan pointing at him, alarm bells went off in his mind. He had come incognito and had no intention of revealing his identity, but he did not expect to encounter trouble as soon as he arrived. Now he was facing an unwarranted prison sentence. However, he still did not want to reveal his identity, which was why he had just told his subordinates not to make any rash moves. He did not expect this woman to say such a thing to him.
What is she trying to do?
Did she know who I was?
No!
impossible!
Rong Shi was surprised and uncertain about Su Wan's words. He prepared to see what Su Wan was up to with a stern face.
Everyone reacted differently to Su Wan's words.
Qi Mingxuan had a calm and composed expression, as if he were watching a performance.
Pan Jieming was somewhat surprised by what Su Wan meant. Could it be that these people had extraordinary identities?
A sharp glint flashed in Jinlong and the others' eyes when they heard Su Wan's words.
Everyone was waiting for Su Wan to say something next.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Su Wan slowly spoke: "He is one of Director Zhao's men!"
After Su Wan finished speaking, Rong Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Mingxuan was no longer calm. Su Wan's target was obvious. She came to this man for help as soon as she arrived. And the people with this man were very skilled. If he was Zhao Yongjun's man, the credibility of this statement was at least fifty percent.
He abandoned his languid, amused demeanor and looked at Rong Shi with a serious expression.
Pan Jieming hesitated. If these people were Zhao Yongjun's men, he wouldn't dare to do anything even if he had a hundred lives. The situation was unclear, and Zhao Yongjun was a candidate for the next mayor. If Zhao Yongjun was elected as the new mayor, his career as deputy captain of the criminal police would be over. At that time, Huang Jianhan would definitely not care about his life or death.
While everyone was having different thoughts, Su Wan began her next move.
"Can I borrow your phone?" Su Wan whispered to Rong Shi.
Rong Shi gave Jinlong a look, and Jinlong immediately handed his phone to Su Wan.
Su Wan called Qin Yan.
"Captain Qin, I've been kidnapped by Qi Mingxuan! Not only are your criminal investigation team not rescuing me, but they're also arresting innocent people indiscriminately." Su Wan's childlike complaint was both innocent and naive.
Qin Yan never expected that one day he would receive such a direct plea for help from a victim. He asked, "Where are you?"
"Qile Shopping Center"
"Okay, I'll take some men there right away."
At the same time, Rong Shi also sent messages to others.
Shen Baiyan's investigation into Huang Jianhan yielded no results, when he suddenly received a call from Qin Yan.
Upon learning that Su Wan was at Qile Shopping Center, Shen Baiyan called Gu Chu.
At this moment, the men's clothing store had already suspended operations, and the group was stuck in a stalemate inside.
Everyone who appeared first, except for Rong Shi, was surprised.
"Director Zhao... Director Zhao! What brings you here?" Pan Jieming approached obsequiously, his heart filled with unease.
Zhao Yongjun's appearance further confirmed that Su Wan's words were true.
Su Wan was also surprised when she heard Pan Jieming address her as "Director Zhao".
I never imagined my words would come true.
Qi Mingxuan then realized that today's mission had gone wrong, and it seemed that he had kicked a rock.
What he didn't know was that the person in front of him wasn't a stone, but clearly a steel plate!
A dozen minutes ago, Zhao Yongjun received a call from the municipal party secretary, asking him to go to Qile Shopping Center to help someone out of a predicament. The secretary did not tell him the person's specific identity, but he knew that the person's identity must be extraordinary. He naturally dared not neglect someone who could get the municipal party secretary to call him directly.
