Not long after these words were spoken.

At the office door.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps.

Immediately after.

A man wearing a police uniform rushed in.

As soon as he entered, he asked Lu Wenyuan, "Lu, where is he?"

Lu Wenyuan pointed to Chen Fang sitting on the sofa and said, "There he is, boasting how he can navigate both black and white worlds and play as he pleases."

"Whoa, someone this bold in Changting District? Let me see what's going on."

After saying this.

The policeman rolled up his sleeves and walked toward Chen Fang.

He hadn't reached Chen Fang yet.

Before he stopped in his tracks.

He froze there, not daring to move.

"Hey, isn't this Zheng Chi? What's this? Couldn't get by in Changhua District and transferred to Changting District?"

Seeing this policeman, Chen Fang smiled slightly and asked.

Who was this policeman?

A former deputy director of the Changhua District branch of Rongjiang City's Public Security Bureau.

Back when Chen Fang had a conflict with Huang Baiyi, Zheng Chi was called in by the then city government secretary Zhang Moqian to assist, but was later embarrassed due to Qin Ye's involvement.

Though they hadn't seen each other in years.

Chen Fang's face was etched in Zheng Chi's memory.

Moreover, he knew the city's latest appointments; the Chen Fang before him, though not yet in office, was indeed the future mayor.

"Chen..."

Zheng Chi was about to call out his title.

Chen Fang made a gesture for silence.

Zheng Chi dared not say another word.

Swallowing hard, he turned to look at Lu Wenyuan.

"What's the matter, Director Zheng?"

Lu Wenyuan asked.

Zheng Chi paused, seeing no further instruction from Chen Fang, who simply sat there serenely, and hesitantly said, "Lu, um... I can't handle this, the person hasn't committed any crime, so how can I arrest him?"

"What do you mean, Zheng Chi? I can't give you orders; it must be my mom, right?"

Lu Wenyuan frowned and said.

Zheng Chi glanced at Chen Fang and kindly reminded, "Lu, I... I think it's best not to call District Chief Lu, whatever conflicts there are, take a step back and look far ahead..."

"No way!"

Lu Wenyuan stomped his foot.

Pointed at Zheng Chi's nose, angrily saying, "You good-for-nothing Zheng Chi, pretending to be decent but dropping the ball at the crucial moment, okay! You really want my mom to sort this out? Fine, I'll call her."

After saying this.

He pulled out his phone.

Zheng Chi was in a panic.

Chen Fang had hinted he shouldn't reveal his identity.

But Zheng Chi had to remind him.

Standing there, saying nothing wasn't right, but saying something wasn't either, sweat beaded on his forehead.

As he hesitated.

Lu Wenyuan's call had already gone through.

A minute later.

Lu Wenyuan returned after making the call.

He let out a long breath as if a heavy burden was lifted.

He said to Chen Fang, "Don't worry, I haven't used my trump card against you yet, just wait, you'll see."

"You should've listened to Comrade Zheng Chi and not called your mom."

Chen Fang said regretfully.

Lu Wenyuan thought Chen Fang was scared.

Coldly snorted and said, "Now you know you were wrong? Too late, I said those who offend me, Lu Wenyuan, will end up with no good outcome, and you're no exception."

"Zheng Chi, you tell him."

Chen Fang didn't want to drag it out further.

He waved to the vacant-looking Zheng Chi.

Zheng Chi nodded continuously.

Walked over to Lu Wenyuan and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Wenyuan's eyes widened instantly.

With a bit of disbelief, he asked, "What? You say he's..."

He didn't finish the sentence because Zheng Chi had confirmed with a nod.

Lu Wenyuan took a deep breath.

Once more, he studied Chen Fang.

He really couldn't believe that this seemingly young man was about to become the mayor of Rongjiang City.

His mother, Lu Ke, was just a district chief.

In front of a mayor, there's a vast difference in rank.

Even if she came, she wouldn't be of help.

"Lu, I'm here to offer you a way out; before coming, someone insisted I must agree not to escalate matters too much. It was you who forced it to this point. I still have those three conditions; if you can accept them, we'll move past this. If you're still dissatisfied, we'll continue. I will definitely support Ding Shenxing; you can't touch him, even if a deity descends!"

This was the first time in the half-hour since Chen Fang arrived that he spoke toughly.

And it was said with a stern tone.

Lu Wenyuan shivered.

At this moment, he finally realized he had no chance of winning.

"Chen... Mayor Chen... I..."

Seeing the fire in Lu Wenyuan's eyes dim.

Chen Fang extended his hand to stop him.

"Honestly, I prefer your defiant attitude just now. We're not enemies, no need for a life-and-death struggle. Conduct business and behave properly; I won't make things hard for you. How you proceed next is up to you. Let's end this for today; I should be going."

After saying this.

Chen Fang stood up.

"Mayor Chen, I'll see you off..."

Zheng Chi, seizing the chance to show himself.

Quickly trotted over to accompany him.

As they left.

Lu Wenyuan picked up the ashtray on the table and hurled it at the floor-to-ceiling glass.

With a crack.

The ashtray shattered.

The tempered glass cracked.

He clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, just a mayor, what's the big deal? Asking me to apologize, not a chance..."

After saying this.

His gaze turned malicious and cunning.

At this time, Chen Fang had no idea.

Lu Wenyuan was simply a maniac.

He didn't act according to common sense.

It was his promise to Ding Yuan to ease up that later caused great trouble, even affecting those around him.

Of course, this is all future developments, not discussed here.

After settling matters with Yanhua Group.

Chen Fang headed to the Provincial Hospital.

Just entering the inpatient department.

From afar, he saw Ding Yuan playing with young Chen Cheng in a wheelchair.

Zhong Xiqian stood by, watching them with gentle eyes.

Seemingly hearing footsteps behind.

Zhong Xiqian turned around, saw it was Chen Fang, and quickly said, "Look, they're having so much fun?"

"It seems Shenxing needs to hurry and get married and have kids. With grandchildren around, Uncle Ding won't feel so restless."

Chen Fang said with some emotion.

"Everything settled?"

Zhong Xiqian asked.

Chen Fang nodded.

"Everything's settled, but I just got a call from the organization department, telling me I need to report first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhong Xiqian knew what he was implying.

She smiled softly.

Replied, "You go to work with a peace of mind, don't worry, I'll come by to see Uncle Ding every day; he'll be fine."

"Honey, you're so wonderful; you always know what I'm thinking."

These words melted Chen Fang's heart.

He hugged Zhong Xiqian's waist and murmured.

She mischievously smiled.

Asked, "Since I'm so good, shouldn't you satisfy me tonight?"

"Again? In my days off, I haven't stopped at all, right?"

Chen Fang asked in surprise.

Zhong Xiqian pouted, said with some grievance, "You've got a charm that attracts women; if I don't drain you dry, who knows whom you'll turn to next?"

"No way, never happened, alright..."

Chen Fang casually defended himself.

But he was apparently lacking conviction in this defense.
