Zheng Xinyi panicked and looked at Cheng Haoyu with some fear. She reached out to grab his arm. Cheng Haoyu gently shook her hand back, signaling her not to be nervous.
"Cheng Haoyu, please come in!" said the leading military officer.
Cheng Haoyu rolled his eyes at him and said seriously, "Shouldn't the police arrest people based on evidence? You don't have any evidence, so why can you arrest people at will?"
"Haha, you want evidence, right? Today let me tell you what evidence is. Do you know who you just offended? He is the younger brother of our Shanghai Police Chief." The leading policeman approached him with a look that said, "You're finished."
Cheng Haoyu sneered disdainfully: "No wonder he's so rude and unreasonable. So this is how you police officers serve the people?"
"You...!" The police officer pointed at him, unable to utter a single word. Finally, he chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't argue with you. You'll be in trouble soon. Take him away."
"Haoyu." Zheng Xinyi panicked immediately when she heard this. She pulled his arm, widened her eyes and called out meaningfully.
"Xinyi, don't be afraid, I will be fine. Find a safe hotel to stay in and be careful." Cheng Haoyu reminded.
Zheng Xinyi watched helplessly as Cheng Haoyu was taken away by the police, her face full of anxiety but helpless. Before the train left, she hurriedly moved her luggage off the train and wandered around the station alone for a while, feeling extremely anxious.
Just when she was at her wit's end, a name suddenly popped up in her mind—Li Yu. She remembered that she and Li Yu had a relationship when she went to Beijing. It was Li Yu who introduced her to Aunt Liu Yun. And if she remembered correctly, her husband was the mayor of Shanghai! She knew she could definitely help Cheng Haoyu, but Shanghai was so long, where would she find someone?
Zheng Xinyi stood in the busy train station and looked around. The only solution now was to try her luck at the place where the mayor of Shanghai worked.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xinyi immediately found a hotel nearby, stored her luggage, then hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to the Shanghai Municipal Government.
Standing in front of the Shanghai Municipal Government, Zheng Xinyi was stunned at first. So this is what the Shanghai Municipal Government looked like in 1960. This thought lasted only a moment, and then she hurried over without stopping. However, before she even entered the gate, she was stopped by the security guard: "Girl, what are you doing?"
"I want to see our mayor." Zheng Xinyi blurted out without hesitation.
The old man looked her up and down and chuckled, "Girl, can you just go see the mayor whenever you want?"
"Uncle, the mayor's wife and I are good friends. I have an urgent matter to discuss with the mayor. Could you please be flexible?" Zheng Xinyi said in an anxious tone.
"Since you are a friend of the mayor's wife, why don't you just call the mayor's house directly?" the old man reminded.
Zheng Xinyi lowered her head slightly. "I...I don't have his phone number. How about you give me the mayor's number?"
"Girl, I can't help you with this. I'm just a gatekeeper. I wouldn't dare give out the mayor's phone number to anyone casually." The security guard was telling the truth. How could he know who this girl was and reveal the mayor's information so casually?
