Huo Dongfang simply sat upright in his chair, without making any unnecessary movements or saying a single word, yet he still exuded the aura of a vast army.
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then wiped it on his clothes before stammering, "Sir, what's wrong...?"
Seeing his once high and mighty uncle now so humble in front of Huo Dongfang, Zhu Ge felt a chill in his heart.
Who is this person?
Why is his uncle so afraid of him?
Brother Zhu grabbed Cheng Yun's hand and demanded menacingly, "Who exactly is he?"
Cheng Yun changed the subject, saying, "He's from the military region!"
Brother Zhu was skeptical.
How can a mere ordinary soldier be so arrogant?
If he were just an ordinary soldier, would his uncle be so nervous?
"Who are you?"
Huo Dongfang did not recognize the official in front of him.
The middle-aged man quickly introduced himself: "Sir, I am Gou Zhengchen, the deputy mayor of this city."
Gou Zhengchen?
mayor?
Ye Fanxing instantly understood why this Zhu Ge, who was involved in the underworld, was so arrogant. It turned out that he had a relative who was the deputy mayor as his protector.
"How do you plan to resolve this matter?" Huo Dongfang asked indifferently.
Gou Zhengchen quickly gave Zhu Ge a wink. Zhu Ge was extremely arrogant outside, a gangster boss who could do whatever he wanted.
But in the eyes of his own uncle, Gou Zhengchen, how could Brother Zhu dare to do that?
Even if Brother Zhu wasn't very bright, he knew he had made a huge mistake.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was blind and didn't recognize you. I'll punish myself with three drinks!"
As soon as Brother Zhu said this, his lackeys hurriedly stepped forward with beer and glasses.
Gou Zhengchen chimed in, "Sir, my nephew can't hold his liquor. He gets tipsy easily after just a little! You're a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against him..."
Huo Dongfang knew that if he didn't have the Huo family backing him, he would have no choice but to suffer in silence if he encountered a criminal gang like Brother Zhu.
Moreover, he was single, with a woman by his side. If he were truly powerless and without influence, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Zhu Ge can call someone over with just one phone call.
Even if he killed someone, there will still be people who will cover it up.
Since Huo Dongfang didn't encounter these things, that's fine.
If he encounters this, he will absolutely not pretend he didn't see it.
"Vice Mayor Gou, your nephew just said he was going to crack open my skull!"
Upon hearing this, Gou Zhengchen glared fiercely at Brother Zhu, trying his best to downplay the matter and resolve it peacefully.
"Sir, it's just a joke between young people..."
Brother Zhu also put on a fawning smile, "I drank a few cups of horse piss and started talking nonsense. My mouth... deserves a beating..."
Zhu Ge slapped his own mouth repeatedly, hoping that Huo Dongfang would calm down.
The Huo family is known for its integrity and honesty, so Gou Zhengchen felt uncertain at this moment.
Gou Zhengchen didn't know what kind of personality Huo Dongfang had. You should know that when Huo Dongfang first came to this military region, they had already received the news in private.
Those above them repeatedly instructed them to be careful with their words and actions, and to treat Huo Dongfang with utmost courtesy.
Gou Zhengchen never expected to be so unlucky as to run into him!
This is absolutely unbelievable!
"Vice Mayor Gou, you are truly a good public servant!"
Huo Dongfang's words were laced with sarcasm.
Gou Zhengchen felt a chill run down his spine. He wondered what Huo Dongfang meant by those words.
Does Huo Dongfang really want his nephew to go to jail?
But if his nephew doesn't go to jail, he might lose his secure job!
Gou Zhengchen quickly made a decision in his mind. He looked at the lackeys around Brother Zhu and said in a deep voice, "In broad daylight, they're causing trouble. Arrest them!"
Brother Zhu was stunned.
Even more bewildered were Zhu Ge's lackeys.
They also act according to Brother Zhu's wishes, so we can't let them take the blame if something goes wrong!
"Brother Zhu."
"Brother, I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise..."
"Brother, say something!"
In front of his uncle, Brother Zhu dared not say a word.
Gou Zhengchen took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you all standing there for? If you have something to say, go to the police station and say it!"
Gou Zhengchen thought to himself, regardless of the consequences, he would first get everyone detained at the police station.
Once we get past this hurdle, how to handle the rest is still up to him.
"Then let's talk to the police."
Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing slowly got up together.
Gou Zhengchen said cautiously, "Chief, it's getting late. You should get some rest. Don't worry, I will definitely enforce the law impartially and handle this matter seriously."
Huo Dongfang's cold eyes swept over Gou Zhengchen's face, which was covered in cold sweat.
Gou Zhengchen was trying to fool him!
He's not so easily fooled!
"I am the party involved." Huo Dongfang's tone was slightly cold, and after a slight pause, he said, "Cooperating with the investigation is the duty of every citizen."
Gou Zhengchen had a bad feeling!
This is absolutely terrible!
This Huo Dongfang is taking things way too seriously!
But since Huo Dongfang had already said so much, Gou Zhengchen had no right to stop him, and could only say, "Of course, of course."
The group went to the Public Security Bureau with Huo Dongfang.
As soon as Gou Zhengchen, the deputy mayor, arrived, the director of the Public Security Bureau rushed over upon hearing the news.
He greeted Gou Zhengchen warmly from afar.
"Mayor, what are your instructions for coming so late at night?"
Gou Zhengchen's face was ashen; what instructions could he possibly give?
If he had known earlier that the person who clashed with Brother Zhu was Huo Dongfang, he would have definitely said on the phone that he was on a business trip out of town.
Even if Brother Zhu is locked up in the detention center, as long as he doesn't get involved in this troublesome matter, the problem can be resolved quickly.
"Chief, these people are fighting at a barbecue stall outside the nightclub. What do you think we should do?"
When Gou Zhengchen said this, he gave the director of the Public Security Bureau a wink.
The police chief immediately understood, "Then it must be handled according to the law."
Gou Zhengchen breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
This is not stupid.
If the police chief is implicated, the aftermath will be even more difficult to handle.
"Someone, take them to make a statement!"
The police chief waved his hand.
Everyone else was taken to give a statement, except for Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang, whose statements were taken by Gou Zhengchen and the police chief.
The police chief glanced at Huo Dongfang casually and asked, "Name?"
"Huo Dongfang".
When Huo Dongfang casually mentioned his name, the police chief immediately realized who was sitting across from him.
No wonder Gou Zhengchen gave him a meaningful look. If he hadn't handled the situation well just now, it would have been a real problem!
"Please recount the details of the case."
