Hai Dafu nodded upon hearing Peng Fei's words, then loudly ordered with a serious expression, "Take all those people from Laiyang to the police station! Interrogate them thoroughly and find out who gave them the audacity to cause trouble at Chief Engineer Lu's house!"
Those guys who were originally so arrogant never expected that such a small matter as getting a signature from this family on behalf of their boss and demolishing the house would cause such a big problem, even leading to them being taken to the police station for investigation. For a moment, they were all panicked, looking at each other blankly, at a loss for what to do. After all, they had done the same thing before without any problems.
Soon, Hai Dafu led his men away and left in a hurry. Peng Fei also left with the lawyers and went to the guesthouse.
Only Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan remained in the room. Qian Duoduo sat quietly beside Lu Yuan and said softly, "Actually, you didn't have to take matters into your own hands."
Lu Yuan smiled and patted her small hand that was in his, responding gently, "Wife, I am your man. How can I just watch you rush to the front and do everything while I hide behind and reap the benefits? Wife, I have the ability to protect you from the wind and rain."
Hearing Lu Yuan's heartfelt words, Qian Duoduo was deeply moved. She slowly leaned her head on Lu Yuan's broad shoulders and murmured, "You have always been my strongest support. If it weren't for your silent support and protection, how could my Wanmao Group have developed so rapidly and smoothly?"
Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm and doting smile, and he said softly, "However, my wife, I want to do more for you."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She replied coquettishly, "You know what? Just now, when you were twirling that wedding ring, the look on your face was absolutely stunning! You looked so aloof and self-important, like a fearsome yet captivating villain! Oh, I love you so much!" With that, she lifted her head and lightly kissed Lu Yuan's cheek, then wrapped her arms tightly around his, resting her head on his broad shoulders like a docile kitten. This small, affectionate gesture instantly filled Lu Yuan's heart, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
It turns out my wife likes this part. It seems I haven't been looking at the right direction before. Now I can use it!
At this moment, Lai Dajiang, the boss of Laiyang Group, was in a state of utter panic. He never expected that all his employees would be taken away by the police and detained in the Public Security Bureau. This sudden turn of events shocked him, and he immediately dialed the number of his powerful backer—Vice Governor Liu—and urgently reported the matter. After listening, Vice Governor Liu was also bewildered and asked in puzzlement, "Just who is this person? How can they have such power to get all your people into the Public Security Bureau?"
When Lai Dajiang heard Vice Governor Liu's question, he replied with a hint of nonchalance, "I heard that the one who caused this trouble is a woman. You'd better help me out!"
Vice Governor Liu nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Alright, I'll look into the situation for you and see if we can get those people out. But let me be clear, if it's too difficult, I can't guarantee anything."
Upon hearing this, Lai Dajiang immediately expressed his gratitude and patted his chest, promising, "As long as we can rescue those people, I will definitely host a grand banquet for you as soon as this matter is over, and make sure you eat and drink to your heart's content!"
After agreeing, Vice Governor Liu stood silently by the window for a moment, then turned and walked aside, picking up the phone and dialing Hai Dafu's number. However, just a few minutes later, he hung up the phone angrily, his face turning ashen. Immediately afterward, he called Lai Dajiang back without hesitation, roaring furiously as soon as the call connected: "Lai Dajiang, are you trying to kill me? I just asked you who the other person was, and you just casually told me it was just a woman! Is she an ordinary woman? She's no ordinary woman! Who is that woman? She's Qian Duoduo, the boss of Pengcheng Wanmao Group! Do you know who her husband is? Her husband is the renowned chief engineer of a weapons research institute, an important figure who enjoys a State Council allowance! And you, you actually dared to go behind my back and provoke them, are you tired of living?"
Upon hearing Vice Governor Liu's words, Lai Dajiang was stunned, as if struck by lightning. His mouth gaped open, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. Finally, he stammered incoherently, "Vice Governor Liu... I really didn't know about this! If I had known earlier that the other party was the big boss of Wanmao Group, I would never have dared to send anyone to provoke him, even if I had a hundred lives!"
Upon hearing this, Vice Governor Liu snorted coldly, his face so dark it seemed like it could drip water. He recalled the several cartons of expensive cigarettes the other party had given him earlier, and inwardly groaned. But it was too late for regrets now; the most important thing was how to resolve this thorny issue. So, he gritted his teeth and instructed Lai Dajiang, "You immediately go and apologize to Qian Duoduo in person, and handle everything concerning her properly according to formal procedures. Compensate her for all the losses she's owed; make sure she's satisfied. Get through this difficult time first. Otherwise, if things escalate further, even I might not be able to protect you, and you might not even know how you died!"
