Chapter 1296 - 1346 Keep a Low Profile
Lin Qiong felt at ease with this. She was someone who upheld her principles and deeply disliked doing anything that violated them. Even for the Li family, Li Yifei would avoid asking Lin Qiong to use her authority for personal interests.
If Wang Bing were to ask for a favor, it wouldn’t be an issue if it were a simple matter. But if it went against Lin Qiong’s principles, it would put her in a tough spot. Now that Chen Qiang had taken charge of the situation, it couldn’t have worked out better.
Li Yifei leaned close to Lin Qiong’s ear and whispered, "That Chen Dongsheng is from the Qingping County Bureau. Isn’t that technically ’your’ bureau?"
Lin Qiong nodded and said, "Yes, it is."
Li Yifei chuckled. "Heh, if Chen Qiang found out that the uncle he’s so proud of is just your deputy, wouldn’t his reaction be priceless?"
"You... Do you want to be the one to break it to him?"
Li Yifei laughed, "Oh, no way. I’m afraid Director Lin might not even let me share the bed at home if I did."
"At least you’re self-aware." Lin Qiong pinched him gently on the waist, her face still glowing with a sweet smile.
Meanwhile, Wang Bing had already begun explaining the situation to Chen Qiang. His girlfriend’s father owned a restaurant in Mile City. A while ago, a few patrons got drunk and caused a scene, leading to a clash with the restaurant staff. It wasn’t a big issue initially, and no major physical conflict occurred. However, those patrons felt humiliated afterward and started coming back repeatedly to stir up trouble. Although Wang Bing’s girlfriend’s father reported this to the police, nothing was done. The constant disturbances caused the restaurant to lose a lot of business.
After listening, many classmates immediately frowned and exclaimed, "That’s so bullying!"
Chen Qiang assessed the situation and said, "It seems like the other side must have some connections. If we go head-on, it might truly be hard to resolve. Here’s the plan: I’ll give my uncle a call later and have him investigate. We’ll figure out who these people are. If their backing is weak, we’ll deal with them firmly and make them compensate for the losses. If they have strong connections, I’m sure my uncle will still be able to mediate and enable your girlfriend’s family to keep running the restaurant."
