Chapter 1298: Chapter 1348: Domineering Lin QiongThe wedding venue was still very lively, with everyone eating and drinking. The bride and groom came to toast, and Lin Qiong got along well with everyone. Although Wu Dan felt a bit sour inside, Lin Qiong was polite to her and didnât show off at all. She didnât seem to dwell on past matters at all. If Wu Dan said anything unpleasant now, she would only embarrass herself.
After the meal, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong invited everyone to go karaoke, to which everyone enthusiastically responded, jokingly calling it "living it up at someone elseâs expense." They all went to Money Club, booked the most luxurious private room, and ordered a large amount of drinks and snacks to let everyone enjoy themselves to the fullest.
While everyone was having a great time, Wang Bing went out to take a phone call. Soon, he rushed back in and said to Chen Qiang, "Chen Qiang, those guys are causing trouble at my girlfriendâs house again. Please help me out!"
Chen Qiang immediately stood up and said, "Alright, donât worry. Iâll call my second uncle right away."
Seeing an issue arise, the singing stopped, and the private room fell silent. Chen Qiang dialed his second uncleâs number.
"Second Uncle, thereâs something going on. A classmate of mineâs girlfriend is in Mile City. Her family runs a restaurant and got into some conflict with some people, who keep coming to make trouble at the restaurant. Can you help resolve it... Second Uncle, heâs my best classmate. You absolutely have to help... Thank you, Second Uncle."
After hanging up, Chen Qiang said, "My second uncle said heâll arrange for someone to check it out right away. Donât worry; everything will be fine."
"Thank you, thank you." Wang Bing looked incredibly grateful and quickly called his girlfriend. "Donât worry; Iâve asked someone to help. Soon, the police will arrive. Yep, yep. My classmateâs second uncle is the County Public Security Bureauâs Deputy Director. Thereâs no doubt theyâll step in."
Chen Qiang patted Wang Bing on the shoulder and said, "Alright, Wang Bing, donât stress out. Have a drink and let everyone keep singing."
Wang Bing nodded, but he couldnât really focus on drinking, and the others didnât have the mood to continue singing either. Instead, they all sat down, had a drink, chatted, and waited for updates about Wang Bingâs situation.
About twenty minutes later, Wang Bingâs phone rang. He quickly picked it up, and his expression changed instantly. He exclaimed, "What? How is that possible? Ah... They actually said that? Wait, Iâll ask my classmate right away."
Wang Bing, pressing down the phone receiver, turned to Chen Qiang and said, "Chen Qiang, my girlfriend said the police came, but it was useless. They said one of the guys involved is a relative of a Deputy Director from the City Bureau, so they couldnât do anything."
At that moment, Chen Qiangâs phone rangâit was his second uncle calling. After listening for a while, he hung up and gave a bitter smile. "Wang Bing, this is tricky. My second uncle also said he couldnât deal with it. That guy is a relative of the City Bureau Deputy Director. If he steps in forcefully, it would mean disrespecting the other side, and he canât do that."
"What should we do then?" Wang Bingâs voice trembled, almost breaking into sobs.
"Damn it!" Lin Qiong suddenly shouted furiously.
The volume startled everyone in the room, and they all turned to look at Lin Qiong.
Lin Qiong, with a stern expression, said, "Wang Bing, donât worry. Iâll take care of this."
Wang Bing was overjoyed and said, "Right, right. Your boyfriend knows the Mayor; he can definitely make it work."
Everyone once again turned their eyes toward Li Yifei, who shrugged and said, "This is beyond me."
The hopeful looks on everyoneâs faces dimmed instantly. Lin Qiong had strongly claimed she could solve it, only for Li Yifei to bluntly say he couldnât helpâwhat a disappointment.
"Haha, I canât handle it, but Lin Qiong can. Donât just stare at me." Li Yifei chuckled and added another sentence.
Everyone turned collectively toward Lin Qiong again, though they all had the same question in their hearts: Lin Qiong is just an ordinary police officerâhow could she handle this?
At that moment, Lin Qiong picked up her phone, her face dark and furious. As soon as the call connected, she shouted, "Chen Dongsheng, what kind of work are you doing? Do you even know youâre a police officer? Youâre supposed to serve the people, not cater to some leader! ... Yes, Iâm talking about the matter you were supposed to handle just now. Donât worry about what my relationship is with him; Iâm telling you to enforce the law! ... A Deputy Director from the City Bureau? So what! Even if itâs him personally breaking the law, you better arrest him! If you keep worrying about this or that, I think you can forget about being Deputy Director anymore!"
Lin Qiongâs tone was overwhelmingly imposing as she raged into the phone. After finishing, she directly hung up.
The room of twenty or so classmates fell into stunned silence. Was this really an ordinary police officer speaking to a Deputy Director? It sounded more like a superior reprimanding a subordinate. And even if it was a superior, theyâd usually be more tactful. Lin Qiong seemed to burn with raw anger.
After her outburst, Lin Qiong noticed everyone staring at her with shock and only then realized her attitude might have been too harsh. She turned to Chen Qiang and said, "Chen Qiang, I apologize. I tend to have a bad temper and really dislike seeing people bully others. Sorry if I was rude to your uncle."
Chen Qiangâs face twitched intensely as he said, "Lin Qiong, my uncle... heâs a Deputy Director."
Lin Qiong smiled apologetically and said, "Well, I happen to be in the same bureau as your uncle."
"So when you said that... Wonât my uncle get mad? Isnât that going a bit too far? Iâd find it awkward to ask him for favors later," Chen Qiang said with a forced laugh.
Another male classmate interrupted, "Actually... Lin Qiong, I feel like your rank might be higher than Chen Qiangâs uncle, right?"
Lin Qiong sighed and said, "Alright, let me make this clear: Iâm the Sub-bureau Chief where Chen Qiangâs uncle works. Heâs my deputy."
"What?!" Everyone gasped in disbelief, staring at Lin Qiong with wide eyes.
"Lin Qiong, are you really the bureau chief? Youâre so young! How could you have become a Sub-bureau Chief in such a short time?" Seará´h the NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Yeah, isnât a position like that usually held by someone in their forties? Youâre only twenty-seven this year, and youâve been working for less than three years. How is this even possible?"
"My uncle has been in his role for so many years, and heâs only a Deputy Director."
Lin Qiong glanced at Li Yifei, smiled wryly, and said, "I got lucky, so my promotions have been relatively fast."
A female classmate immediately said, "Then you surely have someone backing you, and a very influential oneâperhaps a Provincial Public Security Bureau-level leader. Even then, it hardly seems possible."
Lin Qiong frowned slightly and said, "I donât have any backing. Everything Iâve achieved is through my own hard work. In these few years as a police officer, Iâve achieved major accomplishments multiple times by apprehending high-profile offenders, which led to my promotions."
Lin Qiong used to feel self-conscious explaining this, as much of her success was actually thanks to Li Yifeiâs support. But now that she was with Li Yifei, his resources felt like hers too, allowing her to accept it openly.
Still, it seemed others struggled to believe her explanation. They couldnât reconcile her words with the deeply ingrained belief that success in the system needed connectionsâan assumption widespread among officials and the public alike.
Seeing their skepticism, Lin Qiong decided not to elaborate. People were free to think what they wanted. Even in Mile City, speculation about her career advancements had sparked plenty of gossip, including within Public Security System circles. But no one dared confront her explicitly given her authority.
"Lin Qiong... thank you so much." Wang Bing said appreciatively to Lin Qiong, feeling reassured by her strong stance. Given Lin Qiongâs position as Sub-bureau Chief, her intervention seemed promising.
"No problem. I have principles: I help those in the right and donât condone nepotism. As long as youâre legally operating your family business, Iâll support you. If someone comes causing trouble, no matter their connections, Iâll deal with them. But if youâre asking me to intervene in something unlawful, I wonât helpâeven for friends or family. I hope you all understand it; I donât want relationships to be ruined over such issues."
By stating her stance upfront, she saved everyone from potential awkwardness and earned their respect in the process. Her words left little room to argue.
Wang Bingâs phone rang again. After a brief conversation, his expression turned ecstatic. He hung up and excitedly said to Lin Qiong, "Lin Qiong, the situation has been resolved; theyâve arrested those people. Thank you so much!"
Lin Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Itâs no big deal. That said, the matter will proceed by the book. If anyone holds any liability, I wonât let it slide."
Wang Bing hurriedly remarked, "Understood, understood. This truly wasnât my girlfriendâs familyâs fault. Those guys were just bullying with power."
"Thatâs good to hear."
Chen Qiang interjected, "Lin Qiong, do you think this will really work out? After all, the other side is connected to a City Bureau Deputy Director. Arresting them outright means fully offending that person, which might negatively affect your future."
Lin Qiong smiled defiantly and said, "Donât worry. My spine isnât that easily bent. Regardless of rank, whoever doesnât abide by reason, Iâll stand up to them."
The classmates were captivated by Lin Qiongâs confidence and integrity, admiring her as a rare, true advocate for the people. Being her peers made them feel proud.
Hereâs a recommendation for a hilariously entertaining urban novel, "Arrogant Youth Roaming the City." A great read, but be sure not to drink water while readingâspilled liquids could damage your computer!
