74: Chapter 74: Nangong Bing Arrives in Person 74: Chapter 74: Nangong Bing Arrives in Person Nangong Bing’s status in the entirety of Zhonghai City was like a renowned trademark.
Many foreign investors came specifically for Nangong Bing, this emblematic figure, especially since the government placed great emphasis on Tianyu Group.
They might as well have been raising her as their own child.
Annually, these local governments and even the officials, including the current Deputy Mayor before her, reaped substantial benefits largely from the tax revenues and investments of Tianyu Group.
Well, she reckoned even the mayor himself would reprimand him.
Most importantly, Nangong Bing was known across Zhonghai City as one of the stunning beauties, her appearance chilly and ravishing!
Just her demeanor alone made a vast number of women feel inferior, sighing in their lack of comparison.
“Miss Nangong, may I ask if this is the police station?”
With several people accompanying him, Zhang Hanlin bent slightly, nodding and bowing as he asked with a courteous smile.
“Yes, that’s right, this is the place.”
Nangong Bing glanced at the police station a few times, immediately letting her willow-leaf eyebrows reveal a slight disdain.
Accompanied by Zhang Hanlin, the one to meet them was the head of the station, Hong Yunbo.
Seeing Deputy Mayor Zhang Hanlin nodding and bowing alongside Tianyu Group’s Nangong Bing, this seasoned fellow hurried over, fawning like a slobbering dog.
One should know, Nangong Bing not only had a tycoon father but, reportedly, also a grandfather in the national military command, with a rank high enough to scare people to death!
He was initially startled, thinking the Deputy Mayor was conducting a surprise inspection, immediately signaling to the officers in the station with his eyes, ordering his subordinates to immediately arrange accommodation and reception issues.
Yet, the Deputy Mayor’s first gaze was filled with resentment, which terrified Hong Yunbo into thinking that the Deputy Mayor was purposely conducting a surprise inspection to check on the station’s recent atmosphere.
One should know, the Deputy Mayor’s position wasn’t just slightly higher than that of a district division chief.
Even the vice-chief of Zhonghai City’s direct police bureau had to stand aside respectfully.
This was a matter that could influence his future promotion.
Offending him would mean no chance of advancement or wealth in the future.
Hong Yunbo quickly instructed his subordinates to make preparations, understanding that nowadays those in office often conducted undercover inspections purportedly, but it was also a chance to skim a bit of extra benefits on the side.
Being able to sit as the chief of a district bureau indicated that Hong Yunbo was no fool, and he quickly guessed what was going on.
However, the arrival of Nangong Bing baffled him.
Even the Deputy Mayor treated him with utmost respect.
Even someone with a mind as dull as a pig’s could discern her distinguished status.
“Who here can speak authoritatively?” Nangong Bing slowly removed her sunglasses, revealing a face so arrestingly cold and beautiful it was drool-worthy.
Her voice was very pleasant to hear, even slightly tender and delicate, making her sound particularly appealing and touching.
Zhang Hanlin quickly signaled to Hong Yunbo with a nudge of his eyes, and in an instant, Hong Yunbo adeptly caught on.
“Miss Nangong, I am the chief of the Lotus District bureau here,” Hong Yunbo answered nervously, not daring to ask the reason for Nangong Bing’s visit.
Nangong Bing’s brows arched, noting the tense look on Hong Yunbo’s old face.
She coldly asked, “I heard you arrested a bodyguard named Lin Zifeng?”
Hong Yunbo was initially stunned, wondering how she even knew about the arrest of a mere bodyguard, and if there was any connection between them.
He dared not speculate because guessing their ties would only make him more nervous.
“Hehe, yes, today we did bring in a bodyguard to our station, and we are suspecting his connection with the Bronze Masked Man.
May I ask what Miss Nangong’s purpose is in inquiring about this matter?”
He’s connected to the Bronze Masked Man?
Hehe, that’s really funny.
That kind of jerk is petty and loves taking advantage, and you actually suspect him of having a connection with the Bronze Masked Man?
Even if you had to suspect someone, why suspect him?
Could someone like him really be associated with the Bronze Masked Man?
Nangong Bingxin sneered coldly in her heart.
She felt as if she had heard a ridiculously absurd joke.
How could Lin Zifeng possibly be associated with the Bronze Masked Man?
We live together, face each other every day, and have never suspected him.
What are you police even good for?
Suspecting him of all people?
“He is my personal bodyguard, and if you have no evidence, please release him.
I’ll have my lawyer explain everything to you, and without evidence, you have no right to detain him.”
Nangong Bing appeared dignified and powerful, her aura surpassing others, and with just a few gently spoken words, she caused the deputy mayor to sweat with embarrassment, fearing to offend Nangong Bing.
Seeing Hong Yunbo’s pale face, Zhang Hanlin quickly said in anger, “Why aren’t you releasing him yet?”
At that moment, Hong Yunbo was truly tormented, as the young bodyguard who had been brought in today had already been sent to the detention center in Lotus Suburb by his son.
At this moment, it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.
Hong Yunbo was scared into a cold sweat by the consequences of their actions, unsure of what to say.
Detaining a suspect without any evidence was a huge taboo!
It could lead to the loss of his official position, especially since the person was Nangong Bing’s personal bodyguard, someone even the deputy mayor didn’t dare to offend.
Now, he almost hated his incompetent son who had caught the wrong person.
What frightened them the most was that Nangong Bing was extremely defensive of her people.
Even if Lin Zifeng had a million faults, those were their own issues.
What right did they have to arrest her people?
Even arresting someone should require evidence.
Arresting someone without proof and sending them to detention was simply playing with others maliciously.
Did you actually take him to the detention center?” Nangong Bing wore an LV branded bag over her shoulder and was dressed in a thin veil and a classical outfit, with a charming purple light veil on top and a light silk white skirt below.
The white skirt reached her knees, her figure slender, with a black shawl, making her look like a classic beauty.
Especially her face, which commanded authority and beauty, was too intimidating to look directly at, and too majestic to desecrate.
Every smile and frown she made caused fear and apprehension; this businesswoman was famously known as the proud daughter of heaven in Zhonghai City.
Her actions and swift decisiveness had turned around the Tianyu Group, which was facing losses, within just a year, surpassing the reputation of the top business tycoons in the Mainland.
Even her social connections were far beyond their imagination; probably a casual phone call from her could even remove the deputy mayor from his position.
This was the kind of woman that made everyone feel fearful, but if others knew how she acted like a little woman at home and was teased by Lin Zifeng, probably everyone, especially the men, would be spitting blood.
A person, especially a woman, no matter how capable she is in politics or business, at home is just a little woman, because everyone has a vulnerable side.
And it is this vulnerable side that is often bullied by Lin Zifeng.
