The waiting time wasn't long.

It was only about ten minutes.

Then four police cars drove up to the entrance of Fugui Restaurant.

After all, it was an upscale restaurant.

The sudden arrival of so many police officers instantly drew the attention of passersby.

From the four police vehicles, more than a dozen police and auxiliary officers descended.

They quickly entered the lobby and headed straight for the second floor.

The leading officer went directly to Zhang Moqian, saluted, and said, "Report, sir, the chief of Rongjiang City Public Security Bureau's Hua branch is reporting to you."

Zhang Moqian remained impassive.

Gesturing toward the private room, he said, "Zheng Chi, the public safety in your Changhua District has been getting worse, it's not even peaceful to have a meal, shouldn't you be rectifying this situation?"

This person named Zheng Chi.

Upon hearing this, instantly tensed up.

Glancing at the calmly seated old and young in the private room.

He waved his hand and shouted, "Handcuff them!"

Just as the officers were about to act, suddenly, a loud yell came from the corridor, "I see who dares to touch them!"

This was a woman's voice.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked and saw a woman in military uniform with the rank of lieutenant walking over gracefully.

The woman was around 170 centimeters tall, with a commanding posture, looking very distinguished. Under her wide cap, she likely had short hair, and her face especially exuded boldness.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Moqian.

Frowned and asked, "Why has a soldier arrived?"

Seeing this, Zheng Chi immediately stepped forward to stop the female officer, saying, "Comrade officer, we are from the Changhua Public Security Bureau, we are handling a case, and you are not allowed nearby."

"Not allowed nearby?"

The woman asked seriously.

Zheng Chi repeated, saying, "Yes, not allowed nearby."

The female officer nodded, her voice frosty as she asked, "Not allowed nearby, is that because you have more people?"

Huang Baiyi had already figured out that this female officer must be related to the people inside, he snorted and said, "Yes, that's right, we are more in number, what about it?"

"More in number? Let's see about that."

The female officer stated.

Picking up her radio, she said, "Come in."

No sooner had she finished speaking.

The rumbling sound of car engines came from the entrance.

Everyone looked toward the entrance, and all were stunned.

Surrounding the police cars, unbeknownst to when, dozens of military vehicles had arrived, lined up impressively.

After the female officer gave the order.

The car doors opened, and fully armed soldiers swarmed out, rushing into the hotel lobby. The diners were frightened by this show of force, some couldn't even continue eating and ran off in panic.

The whole of Fugui Restaurant was thrown into chaos.

"Where's the old leader? In which room?"

A robust voice called out at the corridor entrance.

Following.

A middle-aged man in civilian clothes appeared.

Zhang Moqian had been calmly sitting back like 'fishing from a calm stance', but the moment he saw this man, he jolted up from his chair and shouted with a quavering voice, "Feng... Feng Commissioner, you...how did you get here?"

The man in front.

Was none other than Feng Xiao, a member of the Provincial Committee, standing committee member, and political commissar of the Provincial Military Region of Yongan Province.

It was also at the sound of this voice.

Qin Ye patted Chen Fang's hand and said, "Let's go, we can leave now."

The two stood up.

Just as Qin Ye appeared at the doorway of the private room.

Feng Xiao was taken aback.

Immediately, with a snap, he assumed a proper military stance and said to Qin Ye, "Reporting to the old leader, Feng Xiao is reporting to you!"

The old leader?

A Provincial Military District Commissioner and member of the Provincial Committee, saluting Qin Ye?

Chen Fang was stunned.

All the people present were stunned as well.

For a moment, it was as silent as death.

Especially Zhang Moqian and Huang Baiyi, who were so frightened that their calves began trembling.

Qin Ye then looked at the trembling Dong General Manager beside him and asked, "Are you the owner here?"

"Old… leader, I am… I am, my name is Dong Kui."

"Manager Dong, I've been waiting a long time, and haven't had lunch yet, can you serve the dishes now?"

Qin Ye asked.

Dong Kui was startled.

He seemed unable to react.

With a shiver, he called out, "Serve the dishes, serve the dishes quickly..."

Duan Jinli, the previous hall manager, was also frightened by the scene, trembling slightly before hurriedly saying, "Serve the dishes, right now."

Qin Ye took Chen Fang by the hand and said, "Let's go, let's go in and eat."

"They..."

Chen Fang pointed to the corridor crowded with people and asked.

Qin Ye smiled slightly and said, "Mingyue, you come with us. The others, well, they're not hungry; it's good for them to stand a bit longer to digest."

After dropping this remark.

Both of them entered the private room.

The young female officer from before followed them in.

Soon, in just a few minutes, the table full of dishes they had ordered was served.

After the waiter left, Qin Ye said to the female officer standing by the door, "Mingyue, close the door and join us for the meal."

"Okay."

The female officer nodded.

With a click, she shut the door of the private room.

It didn't matter whether they were Provincial Committee Members or the Secretary-General of the Rongjiang City Government; now they all had to stand outside obediently.

Seeing Chen Fang still dazed, Qin Ye said, "Eat, why are you spacing out?"

Only then did Chen Fang pick up his chopsticks, but under these circumstances, how could he have an appetite?

"Mingyue, let me introduce you—Chen Fang, a pretty good young man. If not for him today, I really wouldn't have known what to do along the way," said Qin Ye to the female officer who had hardly touched her chopsticks.

Upon hearing this.

The female officer stood up, saluted Chen Fang, and said, "Thank you for helping my grandfather."

Chen Fang was overwhelmed by the gesture.

Qin Ye then said to Chen Fang, "My granddaughter, Mingyue."

"Granddaughter? So, should I call you Qin Mingyue?"

Chen Fang asked.

The female officer, with an expressionless face, cold as frost, said, "My name is Qinshi Mingyue."

Qinshi Mingyue?

Such a name?

It really was a bit peculiar.

"Old man, if I may ask, what... what exactly is your identity?"

Chen Fang asked.

Mingyue was just about to speak.

Qin Ye waved his hand and said, "No matter where I worked, I'm retired now, old and not so useful anymore. Let's eat, let's eat..."

It seemed the elder didn't want to talk about it.

He acted this way possibly to avoid creating too much distance with Chen Fang, since once his former position was known, the sense of class hierarchy might emerge.

During the meal.

Qin Ye kept serving dishes to Chen Fang.

And his own granddaughter, Qinshi Mingyue, hardly moved her chopsticks, staying cool throughout, lacking any of the warmth expected from a woman.

Qin Ye even jokingly said to Chen Fang that with his granddaughter being like this, probably no man would dare to take her.

Even such a joke couldn't elicit a response from Mingyue.

She indeed was a person without much fun.

They dined leisurely for about an hour.

And the people outside waited for an hour as well.

When the door of the private room opened, the people outside who had been lax suddenly became tense again.

Seeing Qin Ye wave at Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao obediently ran over, his attitude showing great respect toward Qin Ye.

"Elder leader, what are your orders?"

Feng Xiao asked.

Qin Ye first pointed at Zhang Moqian.

Frightened, Zhang Moqian shivered and immediately stood up straight.

"Abusing public power for personal gain, being an accomplice to wrongdoing, having such a person still in office shows negligence on the part of you leaders. Tell Fu Lvchang something, it's time to clean up the worms down there," he said.

"Yes, elder leader!"

Feng Xiao responded.

Zhang Moqian's knees went weak in an instant.

Even though he wanted to argue, with a wave of Feng Xiao's hand he said to his subordinates, "Take him away."

Two soldiers rushed up and took Zhang Moqian away without dragging their feet.

Next.

Qin Ye's gaze fell on Huang Baiyi, asking, "You, the United Front Minister of Shaohe County, what are you doing in Rongjiang City?"
