Chapter 664: Chapter 655: Consultant Su Takes Charge

Regarding Wen’s mother’s words, Su Qing noticed, and Shen Yi also sensed it. She secretly felt fortunate; luckily, she acted early enough, otherwise the little boyfriend wouldn’t even know whose he was.

She had long known that Wen’s mother fancied Su Qing, given that the elderly lady hadn’t even hidden her intentions at all. Last year, she even came specifically to see the ’son-in-law’ and was obviously very pleased. If it wasn’t for Wen Nanqing knowing she had some special feelings for Su Qing and suppressing it, Su Qing might have been designated as the son-in-law by Wen’s mother.

To say the least, Wen’s mother was much more enthusiastic towards Su Qing than towards her. Of course, Shen Yi wouldn’t feel unhappy over such a little thing. Instead, she’d often joke privately about it with Wen Nanqing.

So, when Wen’s mother spoke just now, she immediately understood that she wanted to draw the two families closer. After all, now that she and Su Qing were together, as long as they didn’t break up midway, they would eventually marry, and the relationship between the two families would naturally become closer, providing support in both business and personal matters in the future.

Because who can guarantee a smooth life without encountering any issues? Therefore, she naturally welcomed such developments.

Even without Su Qing, her relationship with the Wen Family was already quite good, and now it’s getting even better.

At the Chengguan Street Police Station, Wen Jingqi was calmly sipping tea in a room, with the director accompanying him personally.

Indeed, the incident yesterday was handled by a nearby police station, as it wasn’t a big deal, not warranting the involvement of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau or even the branch office.

It’s not a criminal case, and such small matters can be handled entirely by the nearby police stations.

The director of the Chengguan Street police station is a man in his fifties named Zhao Maoxue. Naturally, he doesn’t know Wen Jingqi; it’s just that the old master of the Wen Family used his connections last night to arrange a meeting with someone higher up.

"Director Zhao, thanks for today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day!" Wen Jingqi said politely.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Maoxue quickly laughed and responded, "It’s nothing, really. Besides, your sister didn’t let her dog bite anyone, and no one got hurt. It’s the other side that’s being unreasonable, and they walked their dog without a leash. We’ve already had our staff educate them and there’s a penalty in place, but the most we could do is just charge them a fine for not leashing the dog."

It’s no wonder he’s in the system; his words are exceedingly skillful.

It seemed like a routine task and criticism of the other party, but in reality, there was still plenty of room left, winning Wen Jingqi’s favor without offending either side.

After all, he’s only a director, and both sides clearly aren’t ordinary people. Wen Nanqing has Wen Jingqi and the old master from the Wen Family backing her, while the other side clearly has their connections, too.

Last night, Zhao Maoxue received call after call, giving him a headache. This matter isn’t exactly big or small and is beyond his control, and it’s entirely about the connections behind each party. As a director, he naturally can only handle it impartially and watch how it unfolds.

Otherwise, it’s easy to become resented. After all, how do you know who they know?

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingqi glanced at Director Zhao with a smile and said, "Still, it’s a bit of trouble."

"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. It’s just that her dog is already dead; otherwise, it would definitely be confiscated. Mr. Wen, do you think we could turn a big issue into a small one and resolve it peacefully? This little fuss over minor matters isn’t great, don’t you think?" Zhao Maoxue asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Wen Jingqi took a deep breath. Although he initially never intended to use the law to do anything to the other side, he still couldn’t quite swallow the resentment. After all, he had promised at home when he left this morning, and it would be embarrassing to go back just like that.

But he also knew that the matter itself wasn’t substantial and wouldn’t lead to any significant consequences for the other side. The most they could do was manipulate their business dealings.

In another room at the police station, the deputy director was similarly accompanying two individuals, a man and a woman, the latter being the one whose dog died yesterday.

Upon hearing that the deputy director wanted to settle the matter quietly, the woman got enraged: "Why should I settle? My Huahua is dead; why is her dog fine?

Not only do they not compensate, but they also punish us. I want to file a complaint against you!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the police uniform sighed bitterly, looking at the man and speaking, "Mr. Han, at this point, this is the best solution. If you’re truly dissatisfied, you can file a lawsuit, but the outcome may not be favorable."

Mr. Han, in his forties, with a mature and stable demeanor, wore glasses and appeared well-mannered. He seemed older than Wen Jingqi. In contrast, the woman looked to be in her mid-thirties and had good looks, typical of an older husband with a younger wife.

"Honey, my Huahua died, really died, and that bitch..." Before the woman could finish, the man, slightly annoyed, replied, "Alright, stop yelling. I’ll think of something else, but if nothing works, we’ll just have to let it go."

He had already reached out to contacts last night, but the situation turned out like this. Clearly, the other side isn’t simple either, and he didn’t want to expend much effort on such a minor issue anymore. After all, he hadn’t suffered much. It’s just the death of a dog, after all, they could always buy another one.

Upon hearing her husband, the woman cried even more fiercely.

There were people on both sides persuading, hoping for both parties to settle amicably, but both sides wanted to teach the other a lesson. Particularly Wen Jingqi, who came to avenge his sister, felt somewhat unwilling. Practically speaking, though, they already had the upper hand, and the rest would depend on how things played out outside.

Just as Wen Jingqi was about to let it go for the time being, a staff member came in.

"Director, Consultant Su is here."

"Consultant Su? Which Consultant Su?" Zhao Maoxue asked, confused. There was no such person at their station.

"It’s Su Qing, the criminal investigation consultant from Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau," a young police officer answered.

Su Qing was well-known among young people in Jiangcheng; his news was all over the internet recently.

Moreover, as a consultant of Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, staff within the same system naturally know of him, so it’s no surprise that police officers at these stations recognize him.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingqi’s eyes lit up: "Su Qing, he must be here for me. Director Zhao, let’s go take a look!"

Hearing this, Zhao Maoxue nodded. He didn’t care much for Su Qing, as they didn’t know each other, but he felt a sense of admiration for Wen Jingqi’s extensive connections.

"Invite Consultant Su in; it’s inconvenient to talk outside!"

"Alright."

Then, Zhao Maoxue nodded at the young policeman, and soon, Su Qing entered.

"Old buddy, weren’t you in the capital? When did you come back?"

As soon as Su Qing walked through the door, Wen Jingqi stood up and smiled.

"Just got back yesterday. This morning, I received a call from Sister Wen and went over with Xiao Yi to check things out. When I saw Auntie was there, I became aware of this incident," Su Qing said, glancing at Zhao Maoxue and quickly extended his hand: "This is Director Zhao, right? Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you, Consultant Su, you’re quite famous within our Jiangcheng Public Security system. Pleased to meet you!"

Despite Su Qing’s youth, Zhao Maoxue showed no neglect; after all, he knew that several department heads at the General Bureau knew Su Qing, and the higher-ups also favored him greatly.

If not for Su Qing’s career outside the system, he would’ve been promoted long ago.

"Well, I’m just here to take a look. By the way, buddy, how are you dealing with this?" Su Qing asked.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingqi and Zhao Maoxue recounted the plan, and just as they finished speaking, a narrative prompt sounded for Su Qing.

[The matter isn’t significant but involves a clash of connections on both sides. Currently, Wen Jingqi’s side has the advantage, though the other side has some connections too. Zhao Maoxue is trying to mediate.]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing’s eyes narrowed, and his facial expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Maoxue’s heart sank, and Wen Jingqi asked, "Brother, what is it?"

Hearing this, Su Qing waved his hand: "Nothing major, but this outcome seems a bit off?"

"What’s wrong with it? Does Consultant Su have any suggestions?" Zhao Maoxue asked, slightly displeased internally.

He had managed to calm the situation with great difficulty, and now this outsider was stirring things up. Why make it difficult for him amid their ’clash of the titans’?

Hearing this, Su Qing quickly waved his hand: "No, no, Director Zhao, although I’m a criminal investigation consultant for the East City Public Security Bureau, I have no authority. But after these few months, I’ve come to understand the law.

I heard the other party threatened my sister’s side, saying they’d harm her child. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Zhao Maoxue’s heart skipped a beat, silently cursing to himself.

But before he could speak, Su Qing continued: "This kind of threat to harm someone else’s family is illegal, Director Zhao. It’s provoking disturbances, threats, and intimidation. Surely there needs to be an explanation!"

Hearing this, Wen Jingqi’s eyes lit up: "Brother, really?"

"Buddy, I know, but I’m just a makeshift, you can spend some money and hire a lawyer, can’t you?"

While speaking, he glanced towards Zhao Maoxue, seemingly suggesting ’I see you trying to smooth things over.’
