Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Mayor Wang Hongwei's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Young man, I know you are from the Jing family, but this is a society governed by law. Everyone must abide by the law, including your Jing family."

Only then did Jing Wenqiang notice the middle-aged man who came out of the restaurant. He frowned and said, "Who are you? What I do is none of your business. As for the law, the Jing family is the law, understand?"

“I am Wang Hongwei, the mayor of Jiangshui City.” Wang Hongwei smiled slightly, but his tone became more serious. “However, you say that your Jing family is the law? Even Jing Kaiyuan wouldn’t dare to say that. You really are a fearless young man.”

"Mayor?" Jing Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his previous arrogance. "Li Hanliang, you're really something, actually inviting the mayor to congratulate your shabby restaurant. But do you think I'd believe that? Mayor? If he's the mayor, then I'm the provincial governor!"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. No one had expected Jing Wenqiang to be so bold as to speak so disrespectfully to the mayor.

Fang Qingquan was overjoyed upon seeing this.

She had long disliked Jing Wenqiang, and now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wouldn't miss it.

She immediately walked to Wang Hongwei's side and said softly, "Mayor Wang, this person is indeed from the Jing family, but he has violated the law multiple times, and today he openly provoked us. I think we should take immediate action, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Wang Hongwei nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure everything is done in accordance with the law. As for the Jing family, I'll handle that. There's no need to worry about it."

Fang Qingquan immediately nodded in agreement, then turned to the police officers who had just arrived and said, "Take Jing Wenqiang away for a full investigation."

Two police officers stepped forward and grabbed Jing Wenqiang's arm.

Jing Wenqiang roared in fury, "Let me go! You bastards, just wait, someone will come and deal with you!"

“Jing Wenqiang, you dare to threaten law enforcement officers? That’s an even bigger offense!” one of the police officers coldly reminded him.

Fang Qingquan stepped forward, looking at Jing Wenqiang who had already been subdued, his eyes filled with a coldness. "Jing Wenqiang, your actions have already attracted the attention of the city's higher-ups. Today's events are just the beginning. I hope you can reflect on your actions while you're inside."

Upon hearing this, Jing Wenqiang's face turned even uglier, but he knew it was best not to resist, otherwise things would only get more complicated, so he could only let the police take him away.

Li Hanliang looked at Fang Qingquan and Wang Hongwei gratefully, "Thank you for your support, especially Mayor Wang. If it weren't for your intervention, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything about Jing Wenqiang. After all, the Jing family's influence in Anfeng County is not to be underestimated."

Wang Hongwei smiled and patted Li Hanliang on the shoulder, "Young man, as long as you uphold justice, then go ahead and do what you want to do. Don't be afraid of any difficulties."

Li Hanliang nodded firmly, "Thank you, Mayor Wang. I will definitely do my best."

Guests inside and outside the restaurant came forward to offer their congratulations, making the atmosphere even more lively.

As night fell, the guests gradually departed.

Li Hanliang stood at the store entrance, took a deep breath, and looked at the street gradually quieting down, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He knew that this was only a temporary calm, and that the road ahead was long, requiring more wisdom to cope with the unknown challenges.

"Boss, you've worked hard today too, get some rest early," Liu Lanfang said gently as she walked to his side.

Li Hanliang glanced at Liu Lanfang and smiled slightly, "You should go and rest. You have to keep an eye on the steamed bun shop tomorrow morning."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes revealing determination and trust.

Liu Lanfang nodded, "Understood, I will keep a close eye on our steamed bun shop. Boss, you need to be extra careful."

Just after Liu Lanfang left, Li Hanliang's phone suddenly rang. It was Han Jianguo calling.

"Hanliang, I just received news that the Jing family may be planning something. You need to be careful and send more people to guard the shop tonight."

"The Jing family really knows how to cause me trouble. Old Han, please go to the small house in the backyard and wait for me. Let's discuss what to do about this."

After Li Hanliang finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the small house in the backyard.

In the small house in the backyard, Han Jianguo was already sitting there waiting for him.

Upon seeing Li Hanliang arrive, Han Jianguo said with a solemn expression, "Since the Jing family has said they are going to take action, we should take this matter seriously, make full preparations, and make sure the Jing family does not succeed."

Li Hanliang nodded firmly in agreement: "Old Han is right. We must not let their scheme succeed. I will go to Director Fang to report the situation in a while and try to ruin the Jing family's reputation tonight."

Upon hearing this, Han Jianguo added, "Secretary Zhang is also following up on this matter and will try to further strengthen our protection measures. However, you'd better remain highly vigilant and not give the Jing family any opportunity."

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will definitely protect myself and not give the Jing family any opportunity to target me," Li Hanliang replied firmly.

As the night deepened, Li Hanliang took advantage of the darkness and walked alone towards the police station.

As for the restaurants and steamed bun shops, he had already instructed Liu Quanyou and Liu Lanfang to take precautions.

Not far away, a dark figure silently watched all of this.

The night was as dark as ink, and Li Hanliang walked alone on the quiet street. His steps were firm and quick, his heart filled with determination.

He knew very well that this contest with the Jing family had only just begun.

When he reached the police station entrance, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

When the officer on duty saw it was him, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Li, it's so late, is there something urgent?" the on-duty police officer asked with concern.

Li Hanliang nodded. "I need to see Director Fang. I have important information to report."

The officer on duty nodded. "Okay, please follow me."

Fang Qingquan was still working on documents in his office when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Li Hanliang, so he quickly invited him in.

"Mr. Li, what happened so late?" Fang Qingquan asked with concern.

Li Hanliang recounted in detail the news that Han Jianguo had told him.

Fang Qingquan frowned. "This news is very serious. I will immediately notify all the police and strengthen the protection measures for you and the restaurant."

Li Hanliang looked at Fang Qingquan gratefully, "Thank you, Director Fang. I will be more careful."

Fang Qingquan nodded, "Don't worry, as long as the Jing family really makes a move, we will be dispatched immediately. But Jing Wenqiang's arrest is only temporary. I think they..."
