Ge Hongqing handed the camera to Li Chengbo: "He was secretly taking photos of our construction site, so I just wanted to check the contents. We didn’t intend to steal anything from him."

The security guard beside him quietly stepped back, thinking, it wasn’t us, it was you, the camera is in your hand, it has nothing to do with us.

At this moment, Xu Chunliang arrived, and Zhang Haitao sighed silently in his heart, wondering if he was late. Your cousin got beaten up, but of course, he felt a bit uneasy as he was also partly responsible for not protecting her better.

Xu Chunliang got out of the car and first greeted Zhou Deming and Zhen Chun: "Are you okay?"

Zhou Deming shook his head. Although he got hit a few times, it wasn’t serious. Zhen Chun tearfully said to Xu Chunliang, "Cousin, he kicked me, they also hit Mingzai, and called me a crazy woman, and called Mingzai a dog."

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Ge Hongqing’s mind buzzed, realizing that this girl was Xu Chunliang’s cousin. Xu Chunliang had quite a reputation in Hu Shan Town, and Ge Hongqing knew he was way out of his league to compete with him. Now he feared there might be big trouble ahead.

Most of the security guards behind him were local residents, and they were well aware of Xu Chunliang’s notorious deeds. Upon hearing of this connection, they all retreated several feet away in fear of getting themselves involved.

Zhou Deming grabbed Xu Chunliang’s arm and said, "Chunliang, let it go, we’re fine, don’t let my grandma find out."

Xu Chunliang nodded, told Zhang Haitao to take them for a check-up, and turned to Ge Hongqing: "Did you just hit my cousin?"

Ge Hongqing’s lip twitched, his heart trembling, but he still insisted in front of so many people: "She hit me first... it was self-defense..."

Xu Chunliang said, "I won’t stoop to your level."

He spoke to Li Chengbo: "Mr. Li, the camera in your hand is worth ten thousand." If a person robs someone else’s property, and the amount reaches two thousand yuan, according to the current law, they can be punished according to the regulations for robbery: Robbing public or private property by violence, coercion, or other methods shall be sentenced to imprisonment of less than three years but not more than ten years, and fined; if the circumstances are serious, they may be sentenced to imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment, or death, and fined or have their property confiscated.

Li Chengbo waved his hand, and two policemen stepped forward and handcuffed Ge Hongqing. Ge Hongqing said, "I... I didn’t rob his stuff, I just wanted to delete it."

Li Chengbo said, "Explain it slowly at the police station."

All the security guards involved in beating Zhou Deming were also taken away.

Many medical staff on the scene were willing to testify, some recorded videos and some took photos during the process. It can be said that the security team led by Ge Hongqing was bound to suffer badly this time.

Xu Chunliang remained calm and controlled throughout. After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Haitao came over to inform him that Zhou Deming and Zhen Chun were fine. Zhang Haitao felt a bit guilty for not completing the task Xu Chunliang entrusted him with properly, which resulted in the two of them being harmed.

Xu Chunliang didn’t think it was a big deal. For young people, suffering a little loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He called Qin Zhengyang to explain what just happened.

Qin Zhengyang was furious when he heard. It was hard to find an opportunity to please Secretary Zhou, and such a blunder happened. What is the Huayuan Group doing? They were told to strengthen security, not to hit people indiscriminately, really treating Hu Shan Town like a lawless place? Qin Zhengyang told Xu Chunliang to appease Zhou Deming as much as possible, never let Secretary Zhou find out, and he would be responsible for seeking justice.

Jin Yonghao originally thought Xu Chunliang had given them a three-day extension but didn’t expect that an incident would occur just after Xu Chunliang left. The Hu Shan Town Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office issued another work stoppage notice, and this time all the security at the construction site were rounded up and taken to the police station, and it was said that the security chief, Ge Hongqing, was handcuffed.

Realizing the severity of the situation, Jin Yonghao first thought of asking Xu Chunliang about the situation, but immediately dismissed the idea, as it was rumored that Ge Hongqing hit Xu Chunliang’s cousin. He instructed Tan Haiyan to quickly report the situation to Dean Zhao Feiyang.

Tan Haiyan didn’t want to involve herself with such matters and emphasized that she was only responsible for party affairs. Helpless, Jin Yonghao had to brace himself and call Zhao Feiyang, preparing to be scolded.

Zhao Feiyang had just buried his father and was on his way to a thank-you banquet when he saw Jin Yonghao calling again. He frowned, thinking that this guy was really tone-deaf, knowing that his father was being buried today yet still calling again and again. The Weishan Island Branch has been transferred under Huanyan Health management, and he could directly approach them.

Despite this, Zhao Feiyang still answered the call.

Feeling a bit flustered, Jin Yonghao said, "Dean Zhao, something big has happened."

Zhao Feiyang replied, "Go on."

Jin Yonghao briefly recounted what just happened. He also knew that the superior department was Huanyan Health, but he knew better that Pei Lin was in charge of Huanyan Health, and finding her wouldn’t solve the problem. Moreover, he was dispatched by Zhao Feiyang.

After hearing the story, Zhao Feiyang also thought the situation was tricky. Although on the surface he got along well with Xu Chunliang, that kid had been causing trouble for him lately. Now that his cousin got beaten, he was sure to use this as a talking point. If he were to directly approach him, he feared he might not be able to gain any advantage.

After some thought, Zhao Feiyang decided to directly call Qin Zhengyang, the top official in Hu Shan Town.

Qin Zhengyang answered, "Dean Zhao, what guidance do you have?"

Zhao Feiyang laughed, "Secretary Qin, I heard your Hu Shan Town issued another work stoppage notice."

Qin Zhengyang said, "That was my order."

Zhao Feiyang paused, hearing the unfriendly tone in Qin Zhengyang’s voice, and explained, "Secretary Qin, I think this matter may have some misunderstandings. Those security guards were probably concerned about commercial secrets. They are knowledgeable about the law and wouldn’t rob someone of their property. From what I understand, their only aim was to delete the photos."

Qin Zhengyang replied, "Dean Zhao, I think you don’t fully understand the situation. The conduct of those security guards from Huayuan Group was particularly vile. They used violent means during the robbery, damaged others’ property, and even assaulted the victims."

Zhao Feiyang said, "I deeply apologize for their actions. I can represent Huayuan Group to compensate the losses of the two victims. Secretary Qin, please help to coordinate this matter. After all, it’s just a misunderstanding."

Qin Zhengyang asked, "Do you know who they hit?"

Zhao Feiyang replied, "I know, it’s Xu Chunliang’s cousin. I plan to tell him about it privately."

"There’s another one."

Zhao Feiyang said, "We will make those who hit people apologize in person and also compensate that young man’s losses."

Qin Zhengyang understood that Zhao Feiyang was not aware of the specifics. He sighed and said, "The person who was hit has the surname Zhou."

Zhao Feiyang was stunned for a moment, and softly repeated, "Surname Zhou?" He thought of someone, but he couldn’t be sure at the moment.

Qin Zhengyang said, "Dean Zhao, I can only say I’m powerless regarding this matter."

Zhao Feiyang fully understood, thanked Qin Zhengyang, hung up the phone, and saw Pei Lin watching him from the side.

Zhao Feiyang gave her a cold look, and from his eyes, Pei Lin could no longer see any emotion, only indifference.

Pei Lin mustered the courage to approach him, "Is it the Weishan Island Hospital incident?" She had also received the report.

Zhao Feiyang said, "The security team you hired hit someone."

Pei Lin asked, "Is it serious?"

Zhao Feiyang shook his head.

Pei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ve already sent Wu Fajun to handle it. Rest assured, it will be properly resolved."

"Rest assured?" Zhao Feiyang’s expression was full of sarcasm, "Do you know who they hit?"

Zhou Deming was afraid his grandmother would worry, so he asked everyone not to tell the elderly lady about the incident. Although he hadn’t known Zhen Chun for long, he knew she had a forthright personality, so he specifically instructed her, "Zhen Chun, don’t tell my grandma, I’m afraid she’ll worry."

Zhen Chun rolled her eyes and said, "I know!"

Zhou Deming looked at her stomach, "Does it still hurt?"

Zhen Chun shook her head and smiled, "I’m fine, you’re so considerate."

Zhou Deming said, "I didn’t expect you to be so brave. In that situation, you actually rushed out to help me."

Zhen Chun replied, "You’re the same way. When I first met you, I thought you were very gentle and refined. But I didn’t expect you’d be so fierce, brave, and manly when you got mad."

"Really?"

Zhen Chun nodded, "And quite stylish, a handsome guy!"

Zhou Deming laughed in response, "You’re beautiful too, a pretty girl!" After he said that, his face flushed to his neck, wondering if it was too cheesy.

Mrs. Zhou came out after enjoying the hot spring and had no idea about the big thing that just happened outside. She laughed and said, "What are you two chatting about that’s making you so happy?"

Zhen Chun said, "Grandma Zhou, it’s a secret between us."

Zhou Deming nodded along.

Mrs. Zhou looked at them with a smile; the more she looked, the more compatible they seemed. This trip to Weishan Island was certainly worthwhile, especially for her precious grandson.

At this moment, Zhou Deming received a call from his mother, Shu Yao, asking when he would return. After all, Weishan Island wasn’t far, and normally, one day and night was enough to visit.

Zhou Deming said, "Tomorrow."

Shu Yao was a bit surprised, wondering what was so fun about a small island that they needed to stay an extra day.

Zhou Deming told his mother that it was because Grandma liked the hot springs here and wanted to soak an extra day. Actually, the elderly lady hadn’t said that; he made the decision himself, mainly because he knew Zhen Chun was leaving tomorrow, and he wanted to leave with her.

Mrs. Zhou listened by the side, knowing that her grandson must have developed feelings for Zhen Chun, and was secretly happy for him. She said, "Deming is already quite grown, don’t worry about everything. It’s not good for him if you control too much. Spend more time worrying about yourself."

On the other end of the phone, Shu Yao heard the old lady’s words and, though dissatisfied, could only endure it. She thought, let her be happy; as long as she’s happy, she can stay as long as she likes.
