Seeing this scene, Director Chen said with a dark face, "Today's matter is actually just one thing, but what does this small matter prove? Let me put it this way: if the people Wu Zhiguo hit and beat today were not Xiao Li and Xiao Zhou, but ordinary people, what would the result be?"
As Director Chen spoke, he grew increasingly angry and agitated, almost ready to smash things: "With the attitude you have towards handling cases, you can turn white into black and wrong into right. The wife and nephew of a mere deputy director of a branch office can act with impunity. Not only do you refuse to admit your mistake after hitting someone, but you also arrogantly assault them and demand compensation for the car. It's outrageous!"
Director Fu, He Guangwei, and the other two deputy directors didn't dare to make a sound, especially He Guangwei, whose face turned pale!
Director Chen, his face stern, took a few breaths and then shouted, "I believe what happened today is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't think you can relax and get away with it just because others haven't been involved. I can imagine that it's only because they haven't been implicated yet. I will use this incident as a warning to you all, and launch a city-wide anti-corruption and discipline inspection. Any problems will be thoroughly investigated, and no leniency will be shown!"
After saying so much, Director Chen's face was flushed, and his chest was heaving. After catching his breath, he turned to Li Lei and said, "Deputy Commander Li, we should thank you for reminding us of this. Although such problems may seem minor, they are like hidden bombs; if they accumulate, they will become a nuclear bomb!"
"Then I have nothing else to say. We'll leave first. You can handle things and let us know the results later!" Li Lei didn't want to get too entangled in this matter. As long as the goal was achieved, that was enough. Besides, this was Wei Lao Er's subordinate, and he couldn't afford to offend him too much.
"Xiao Zhou, do you have any other opinions?" Li Lei specifically asked Zhou Xuan again, since his main purpose in coming was for Zhou Xuan's sake. It wouldn't be good if Zhou Xuan was not satisfied. He had been in charge all this time and hadn't asked Zhou Xuan for his opinion. The other one was Li Wei, so of course he could make the decision.
"If you want my opinion, then I'll say two things!" Zhou Xuan didn't mince words. There was no need to be polite to Wu Zhiguo and Jiang Dezhi. If it were anyone else, they would have been dealt with by them today!
"First, you must compensate for all the damage to the vehicle. Second, you must apologize to my sister. As for Li Wei and me, that's easy to say. As the saying goes, 'A murderer must pay with his life, and a debtor must pay his debts!'" Zhou Xuan stared at Wu Zhiguo, speaking in a deep voice, "This is just my opinion. Actually, how they handle it is their own business!"
After Zhou Xuan spoke, Xiao Yang also spoke up, "I think it's best if Xiao Zhou and Xiao Li go back and wait. We'll notify you as soon as things are settled here. But I'm confident that everything will be handled fairly!"
Xiao Yang should be on the same side as Li Lei, since he represents Wei Haihong's second brother.
The matter was more or less settled, and Zhou Xuan understood that there was no need to stay any longer. Now it was time to leave them space to deal with the situation themselves. Judging from the scene, Director Chen and Director Fu were both glaring with anger, just waiting for Li Lei and Zhou Xuan to leave before they were ready to devour them!
Li Wei didn't say anything at this point; with his father present, it wasn't his place to speak. However, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief today. For the first time in history, his father had personally intervened not because he had caused trouble!
After leaving the police station, Zhou Xuan glanced back and saw that Director Chen in the lobby seemed to be getting furious.
Li Lei had one of his soldiers leave a car empty and said to Zhou Xuan and Li Wei, "Brother Zhou, I'll have Li Wei accompany you. I won't see you off; I have some things to take care of when I get back."
After saying that, he instructed Li Wei, "Li Wei, stay close to Xiao Zhou. If anything happens, call me immediately. Don't cause any trouble."
Li Weiyi spread his hands and said, "Dad, you saw it too. I didn't cause any trouble. It was all Wu Zhiguo's doing. As for the car accident, well, no one can say for sure who was responsible. Whether it was his fault or ours, it was all understandable. I wouldn't have made a fuss if he had just fixed my car. But then he went after Zhou Ying, and I couldn't stand it anymore. We were trapped in the car back then, otherwise we would have beaten him until he couldn't move!"
Li Lei smiled, a rare occurrence, patted his son's head, and said, "You did a good job this time."
Li Weike had never seen his father treat him with such kindness before, and he was stunned until Li Lei got into the car and all the cars drove away before he came to his senses.
Li Lei left them a Jeep. Li Wei drove, and Zhou Xuan sat beside him, lost in thought. Today's events made him particularly upset, even though things had now turned in their favor. But the thought of his sister being slapped still caused him inexplicable heartache!
At this moment, recalling his sister's frightened eyes, Zhou Xuan felt guilty. Why had he been so dizzy at the time and failed to notice what was happening outside?
It's not entirely Zhou Xuan's fault, because the car accident happened so suddenly and so fast. He didn't have time to react at all, because he didn't expect Wu Zhiguo to come and attack him so suddenly!
As Li Wei drove, he said fiercely, "Brother Xuan, this isn't over. Let them deal with it first, then I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson."
If it were anything else, Zhou Xuan might have advised Li Wei not to act impulsively or recklessly, but he just couldn't let go of this matter. When Li Wei said this, he didn't object at all, and even thought about working with Li Wei to "make peace with Wu Zhiguo, this feud is definitely going to be settled!"
"Brother Xuan, where do we go now?" Li Wei drove onto Huanshi Road and then asked Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Let me make a call and ask first!"
Zhou Xuan wanted to call Fu Ying to ask if she and her sister had gone home. If they had, she wouldn't go back for the time being, because seeing her sister would make her sad. It would be better for Fu Ying to stay with her and calm her down. She would go to the shop for a while first.
Fu Ying and Zhou Ying did indeed go home. After making the phone call, Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment before saying to Li Wei, "Li Wei, let's go to the store."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you there. I'll go back and check on my sister-in-law and the others."
Zhou Xuan found Li Wei's words a bit strange, but before he could think about it further, the phone rang again. He took it out and looked at the caller ID; the number was unfamiliar. He immediately answered and asked, "Hello, this is Zhou Xuan. Who is this?"
"It's me, Shangguan Mingyue!" A clear and melodious female voice came from the phone. (To find out what happens next, please log in to read more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)

4. "Second official, bright moon?" Zhou Fu asked in surprise, "What brings you here, young lady?"
Shangguan Mingyue replied, "I have a small favor to ask you for. It's nothing difficult, that's why I'm asking you."
Shangguan Mingyue spoke casually, and Zhou Xuan was still unsure what she wanted to say. He was feeling down, and normally he wouldn't have wanted to talk to her, but he was looking for a place to clear his head, so he readily agreed. Then Shangguan Mingyue gave him an address.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Brother Xuan, I think Shangguan Mingyue has taken a liking to you? She's always sticking close to you!"
Zhou Xuan snorted, "Don't talk nonsense. If she liked me, would she always be going against me? Besides, even if she did like me, it's none of my business. And Xiao, don't talk nonsense in front of Yingying in the future. Wasn't it you who relentlessly pursued Shangguan Mingyue?"
Li blushed and said, trying to cover it up, "That was back then. People change, you know. I like someone else now, and it has nothing to do with her!"
"You like someone else?" Zhou An was taken aback. This guy had been following him around lately and hadn't been interacting with anyone else. Who did he like? After a moment of surprise, he smiled and asked, "Who do you like?"
Li Wei looked embarrassed, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "I'll tell you later. I'll take you there now. You and Shangguan Mingyue can go do your thing. Don't worry, I won't report back to my pretty sister-in-law when I get back!"
Zhou Xuan snorted and said, "You're so full of tricks. You've made trouble out of nothing. You know perfectly well what kind of relationship I have with Shangguan Mingyue. You understand our relationship better than I do!"
Li Wei laughed and sped up the car, driving to the place Shangguan Mingyue had specified. From a distance, he could see a red Porsche sports car parked on the side of the road. Shangguan Mingyue was wearing a light green suit dress and carrying a beige bag.
Li Wei drove up and stopped the car. He leaned out of the window and laughed, "Sister Shangguan, you look so beautiful today, like you're going on a date. Xuan-ge, your appearance is a bit lacking." "Hurry up and go." Zhou Xuan got out of the car and closed the door, urging him to leave to prevent him from talking nonsense again.
Li Wei chuckled as he reversed his car. After his car disappeared from the road, Zhou Xuan asked Shangguan Mingyue calmly, "Miss Shangguan, what is it you want?"
Shangguan Mingyue was already very beautiful, and today she was dressed very elegantly, standing gracefully by the roadside. Her car was also very eye-catching, and many passing cars slowed down, with people whistling inside.
Shangguan Mingyue frowned and said to Zhou Xuan, "Let's get in the car first, and we'll talk about it then!"
After getting into the car, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to get into the other car, which only had two seats. He sat down next to Shangguan Mingyue.
After Shangguan Mingyue started the car, Zhou Xuan asked again, "Miss Shangguan, can you tell me what it is now?" Zhou Xuan thought to himself that if Shangguan Mingyue asked him to do something trivial, he should quickly find an excuse to leave. He didn't want to have too much to do with her, and if Yingying found out, she would be furious.
Shangguan Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, I promise I won't make things difficult for you, nor will it cause you any loss or harm. But can I keep it a secret for now? I'll tell you when we arrive."
Zhou Xuan was puzzled, but Shangguan Mingyue refused to tell him, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.
