Chapter 190 - 186 Reversal
Zhang Zekai wanted to say something more, but the two police officers had already forcibly escorted him to the door.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Director Liu, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Sorry, whatever you have to say, we can discuss it back at the station. Take him away." After speaking, Liu Geng turned to look at Ling Chen and Tang Shiyun, making an unexpectedly courteous gesture, "Mr. Ling, Miss Tang, this way please!"
Seeing Liu Geng’s attitude toward Ling Chen, everyone present was momentarily stunned. Especially Zhang Zekai, who could hardly believe his own ears. In front of himself, Liu Geng was extremely strict, but in Ling Chen’s presence, he suddenly became polite, an obvious case of differential treatment.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ling Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It wasn’t just him; even Nanrong Wanqing was incredibly astonished. She was certain that Liu Geng and Ling Chen had only just met; otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to exchange names.
On one side was Zhang Zekai being pushed by two police officers, and on the other was Liu Geng courteously accompanying Ling Chen and Tang Shiyun. The treatment seemed to imply that Zhang Zekai was the criminal, while Ling Chen and Tang Shiyun had become guests of the police station.
Zhang Zekai was at a loss; having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he had picked up the skill of reading people to an extent. Liu Geng’s attitude served as a signal, but for him, it was undoubtedly a dangerous one.
The Zhang Family was wealthy, but their influence and connections were mainly in the business world, with little involvement in political circles, as the topic between officials and merchants was sensitive, and nobody dared to tread lightly.
But after all, the phrase is "officials first, merchants second," signifying that officials have never feared businessmen throughout history.
If it were not for this fact, with Zhang Zekai’s status, he wouldn’t be so respectful and polite to a city police chief.
