At the critical moment, Jiang Man finally arrived.
She arrived with boundless rage.
At this moment, her anger was not just simply because Hu Shengli had arrested Zhang Xiaoshan, but more so because they were so lawless, disregarding the law entirely.
The public hall had actually become their personal instrument of violence.
For Jiang Man, who was born into a prestigious family and whose integrity was as clear as ice, this was absolutely unacceptable.
"Officer Hu, I’m sorry, I, she insisted on barging in, and I couldn’t stop her,"
said a small Security Officer, looking at Hu Shengli with a face full of fear, muttering in a low voice.
"Nonsense, I see that you’ll soon be fired by me,"
Hu Shengli scolded him, then turned his gaze to Jiang Man.
"Dressed in a western suit as a work uniform; looking at you, you must be with the town government? I haven’t seen you before; are you a fresh graduate recruited recently?"
Hu Shengli made an estimate of Jiang Man’s identity.
Indeed, the aura of authority that Jiang Man carried was unmistakable, but sadly he wrongly underestimated her, mistaking the vice-chair for a mere town office clerk. After all, who would have thought someone of Jiang Man’s stature would suddenly turn up at such a small Security Bureau, and who would have thought that a young-looking woman could be the vice-chair in charge of a county town, let alone guess that behind Jiang Man there was a bigwig at the city level.
"My identity is not your concern, it’s me who’s questioning you. As the person in charge of the Security Bureau, you act recklessly, you could even be said to trample on human life; don’t you feel you’re a disgrace to the uniform you wear?"
Jiang Man’s tone was extremely cold.
"Young lady, you don’t seem to have much authority, but you do have quite a temper. What, you want to meddle in business that is not yours just after starting work?"
"Let me tell you, I’m good friends with your town government leader Ma Zhiming. Do you believe that with one call to Ma Zhiming, I can make you lose the job that you got with so much difficulty?"
"Oh, Ma Zhiming is your buddy?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man’s tone grew even colder.
"Good, then why don’t you call Ma Zhiming here and see if he can make me lose my job?"
"You brat, you’re really acting tough, huh? If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll really think Hu Shengli is easy to bully in Qingshan Town."
Hu Shengli felt humiliated by the way Jiang Man disregarded him in front of so many people.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed the town government leader Ma Zhiming.
Meanwhile, in the town government’s highest office.
A slightly overweight balding man was reviewing documents.
Suddenly, he sneezed.
"Really, I’ve been sneezing non-stop today, and my eyelid keeps twitching. I hope it’s not an omen of something bad about to happen,"
Ma Zhiming muttered to himself.
Just then, his phone began to ring.
"Why is that bastard Hu Shengli calling me?"
Although the Security Bureau was under the dual management of the County Security Bureau and the local town government, there was no superior-subordinate relationship. Plus, with Hu Shengli’s domineering way of doing things, Ma Zhiming had to give face to Hu Shengli.
Just as he answered the phone, an angry voice came through.
"Elder Ma, you should take care of your people. A little girl actually dared to make trouble at our Security Bureau; how are you leading them?"
"If you don’t handle it, I’ll detain her directly."
"Which girl? We don’t have a female employee of that age at the town government,"
Ma Zhiming was somewhat baffled.
Hu Shengli said, not believing it.
"Elder Ma, you’re not playing dumb with me, are you? This woman, in her neat suit, giving off the air of an academic, if she isn’t from your town government then I’ll eat my hat!"
"Ask her what her name is?"
At this moment, Ma Zhiming was thoroughly confused.
Jiang Man heard their conversation and directly said,
"My name is Jiang Man."
"Jiang Man? Elder Ma, you heard that, she says her name is Jiang Man."
Ma Zhiming pondered for a moment; none of his young female staff were called Jiang Man.
"Officer Hu, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"
"I..." Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Just as he was about to say that he didn’t have such a subordinate, a spark of realization flashed through his mind.
He asked again through the phone, but this time his voice was clearly trembling and full of dread.
