“Tell me, have I not given you enough food and clothing? Why did you set up a stall yourself? Do you know that you’re only six years old?”
“You don’t value your own safety. Have you ever thought about what will I do if something happens to you? What about your siblings?”
“I always thought you were a mature and rational child. I didn’t expect you to be so reckless.”
Qiu Xingyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Qiu Tong in disbelief. His large eyes seemed to be able to see through her and see her true heart and soul clearly.
Was this woman angry because she cared about his safety?
Qiu Tong looked at him and sighed helplessly. She reached out to pull his arm and looked him up and down carefully.
“Are you hurt? Does your body hurt anywhere?”
Qiu Xingyuan heard that her tone was stiff, but it was still filled with concern. Suddenly, he felt his throat tighten and his heart ache. He did not know what to say.
“Chief Officer Fang, can I take the child away now?”
When Qiu Tong saw that Qiu Xingyuan was safe and sound, the anger in her heart finally dissipated.
Thinking about Mayor Shen’s instructions, Chief Officer Fang had no choice but to look Qiu Tong in the eye.
“Miss Qiu, I’m really sorry, but… your child has indeed violated our city regulations, so we have to follow the rules.”
Qiu Tong nodded. She knew that Qiu Xingyuan was in the wrong today. “So, what’s your decision?”
Chief Officer Fang hurriedly said, “Miss Qiu, you don’t have to worry. Although your son has violated the rules by setting up his stall, there are no serious consequences.According to the rules, we will have to confiscate the goods he was selling and impose a fine.”
“Thereafter, you can take him away. After all, he’s only six years old. We won’t be too harsh on him.”
Qiu Tong thought for a moment and nodded. Things were not so bad if it was just confiscation and a fine.
“No problem. We were in the wrong in the first place, so it is only right that we are punished.”
Chief Officer Fang did not expect Qiu Tong to be so compliant. The huge burden in his heart was lifted and he hurriedly said.
“Thank you for understanding, Miss Qiu. Come with me to make payment for the fine.”
Qiu Tong didn’t bring any cash, so she took out Jin Yang’s card and put it in front of Chief Officer Fang.
Chief Officer Fang’s eyes flashed as he stared at the card, not daring to breathe.
It was the Black Card!
Chief Officer Fang had the honor of seeing this kind of Black Card once before. He knew that the owners of such Black Cards all held highly-respected positions in the military.
In other words, this card not only represented wealth, but also status and power.
The expression on Chief Officer Fang’s face underwent a myriad of changes, instantly elevating Qiu Tong’s status by several levels. He had endless speculations in his mind.
His attitude towards Qiu Tong became more and more respectful, and his resentment towards Mayor Shen intensified.
Mayor Shen had really made him suffer. Qiu Tong was able to easily whip out this Black Card. This meant that she must be very familiar with the owner of this Black Card.
Qiu Tong just had to say a few words to that powerful person, would he still be able to maintain his position as the Chief Officer?
However, he couldn’t go back on his word now. Wouldn’t that be revealing to Qiu Tong that there was something fishy going on?
Chief Officer Fang was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had a flattering smile on his face and was extremely respectful towards Qiu Tong. However, his heart was in turmoil. This made his expression turn a little strange.
Chief Officer Fang picked up the Black Card with both hands and handed it to the police officer behind the cashier’s window. His cautious manner made the young policeman nervous.
The young policeman trembled as he stuffed the Black Card into the slot. As he was too nervous, his fingertips trembled and he pressed a few more zeros on the back of the fine.
By the time Chief Officer Fang noticed that, the young policeman had pressed the confirmation button. There was no time to stop him.
He looked apologetically at Qiu Tong, his heart filled with fear and shock.
However, he immediately relaxed. It was such a major sum that that transaction would never go through.
However, in the next moment, the faces of Chief Officer Fang and the young policeman turned pale.
Four words appeared on the screen—
Transaction successful.
Chief Officer Fang, “!!!”
The young policeman, “!!!”
