Chapter 13: A Penny's Worth of Relationship!

t are you waiting for"The moment Wang Zheng spoke, someone already used a hammer to shatter the windshield of the Passat—this was a government vehicle!"Stop them! Stop these people right now!" Qian Lu...Chapter 13: A One-Cent Relationship!

The crowd was growing larger, and clearly many people had witnessed Wang Zheng's heroic act of capturing the robber moments ago. They were all talking excitedly among themselves, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.

Many young women present were gazing at him with admiring eyes, fixating on this rare specimen of youth, handsomeness, wealth, and skill.

"Excuse me, can you sign my autograph" A student-aged girl stepped forward boldly, holding a notebook in her hand. Her face was flushed red as she clearly had developed feelings for Wang Zheng from his earlier display.

With this example set, many young women pulled out their notebooks and came to request an autograph from him. With today's highly advanced internet, perhaps he could become famous overnight tomorrow, so it seemed a good thing that they could get one of his autographs now.

Wang Zheng looked at Shishiqian with a bitter smile on his face, while the latter crossed her arms and gave him a cold snort. She adopted an aloof demeanor as if to say: "You brought this upon yourself, enjoy it."

At that moment, a police car arrived at the scene of the incident. The doors opened, and four policemen got out.

A young policeman in his mid-twenties looked down at the two injured robbers on the ground and frowned.

After questioning the crowd for more information, he approached Wang Zheng and said: "Sir, since you have already caused injury to others, we need to establish some major details about this case. We require your cooperation by coming back to our station to make a statement."

"Caused injury That's what you call heroic righteousness!" Shishiqian was instantly indignant: "Wang Zheng, you can't agree to it! We still need to go to Quanjude!"

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled. He asked: "Is this Pingjiang District Police Station"

The young policeman frowned again; he seemed to dislike Wang's tone of voice, answering curtly: "Yes. We are busy, so please cooperate quickly."

"I'm also very busy," Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "It was merely heroic righteousness on my part. If you won't even commend me for it, I have no interest in accompanying you back to the station."

With that, Wang Zheng turned around to leave.

The young policeman panicked, shouting: "You must come with me today!"

"The facts are clear as day, many people here have witnessed it. What else do you need to know Can't you just ask someone" Wang Zheng retorted as he turned his face around.

His patience was also limited. Though the young policeman seemed earnest and responsible on the surface, he actually gave an impression of using his authority recklessly, which made Wang Zheng very uncomfortable. Moreover, what should have been a heroic act of righteousness was being framed by this policeman as intentional injury, thus changing the nature of the incident.

First there was that deputy team leader Wang Huaping and now this young policeman; why are all people from Pingjiang分局 like this

"That's right, how can a heroic figure be taken away" The young women who had been swooning over Wang Zheng started to protest.

"What’s the commotion about I’m just asking him to come back with me for questioning!" This policeman was clearly very impatient and his frown deepened even more.

“Does that mean police can act high and mighty”

“That's right, what's so special about being a cop Look at his sour expression.”

"Let him not take our hero away; this is an insult to our hero!"

“If everyone who acts bravely gets taken away like this, then who will dare do good deeds”

The voices of the young women in the crowd grew louder and were soon joined by many elderly women’s voices. This raised Wang Zheng's vanity several more percent points; it seemed that his charm could attract not only young ladies but also middle-aged women.

Yu Ailian couldn’t stand this any longer, as she was directly affected by the incident and should have thanked Wang Zheng most sincerely.

"Comrade policeman, my husband is a police officer too. Since we’re all colleagues within the public security system, could you please not make things difficult for him" Yu Ailian said apologetically.

“Making things difficult How am I making things hard for him” The young policeman glared at her: “Furthermore, what does it have to do with me whether your husband is a police officer or not”

This policeman’s words left Yu Ailian speechless and she turned red with embarrassment; clearly this policeman's unreasonable attitude had made her very angry. She walked over to the side to make a phone call.

“I just don’t get it, you say that you’re a police officer so why not take these two thieves away There are so many people who saw what happened and they can serve as witnesses.” Wang Zheng rarely wasted his breath on policemen but now he felt compelled to do so.

"How am I supposed to know whether what you're saying is true or false" The policeman's attitude became even worse: “I’ll deal with whatever needs dealing with after my investigation, but right now all I see is that you’ve injured someone intentionally!”

Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at this policeman for a few seconds before moving closer to him. "Officer, by always targeting me like this when it comes to acts of righteousness, I can't help but wonder if there’s something underhanded going on between you and these two thieves; perhaps they steal money and you take your cut.”

"You're lying! I warn you, don't defame a public servant. If you dare to speak recklessly again, be prepared for unnecessary consequences." A glint of狠光 flickered in the young policeman's eyes.

At this moment, the young policeman's phone rang. He glanced at the number and showed a look of surprise before quickly standing straight and respectfully said, "Chief Ge, may I ask what your instructions are"

"Little Tian, did you encounter something on Jiangning Road today"

The police officer named Little Tian's face showed a hint of surprise as he looked at Wang Zheng and replied, "Yes, Chief Ge. I was just about to take the suspect back for investigation."

"No need for that, it’s quite simple; there are so many witnesses present. Just bring in the two guys who carried out the robbery."

“Yes, Chief Ge, I will attend to it right away.”

The young police officer had no choice but to comply since the chief of the district office had spoken. However, he was quite intrigued by Yu Ailian’s ability to have the district chief intervene so quickly.

"We're all policemen here, let's just leave it at that for today. May I ask what your wife's name is" The young police officer had already put on a completely different smile within such a short time.

“What does my husband’s name have to do with you” Yu Ailian glanced at the young policeman, her disdain evident in her eyes without any concealment.

The young policeman clearly sensed his husband's influence and had become eager to curry favor.

Hearing this, the young policeman’s face turned from pale to blue and then dark gray.

"Humph! Take away the suspects!" Little Tian waved his hand. Another police officer dragged the two robbery perpetrators who were still groaning on the ground into the police car which sped off with a roar.

Wang Zheng squinted as he observed the departing police car, understanding that there was no way to mend relations with Heping District's Public Security Bureau from this point onward. He was good at reading people and could tell this young policeman was narrow-minded; however, Wang Zheng didn't fear being remembered by him since Wang Zheng himself had a small heart as well.

Yu Ailian again expressed her gratitude to Wang Zheng: "Sir, I really appreciate your help. My husband has some influence within the capital's police system. If anything troublesome happens, you must call me."

After Yu Ailian’s numerous thanks and requests for his name, age, and phone number, she left with a satisfied heart.

"It's impossible to tell that he is twenty-seven years old from his appearance. Although he is three years older than Youying, their looks and conversation style are quite compatible! I need to call my daughter immediately."

If Wang Zheng knew about Yu Ailian's thoughts, he would definitely be speechless. He never expected that Yu Ailian was already planning to introduce him to her daughter!

The Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is the most famous century-old brand in all of China, with its roast duck craftsmanship reaching unparalleled excellence. It is a must-visit place for foreign friends and tourists visiting the capital city. Nowadays, Quanjude has also developed into a chain store, spreading across the country, and it's even planning to expand overseas.

However, their slogan of "making roast duck a source of pride for all Chinese people" sounds slightly odd.

The Quanjude Wangfu Road branch is its main store, bustling with visitors.

After parking the car, Wang Zheng walked into the restaurant side by side with Shangguan Shishi. Far away, he saw Han Xingye waving his hand to greet them.

"Come quickly!" Han Xingye ran over excitedly, "I've already ordered the roast duck. Today, Quanjude's business is so good that we couldn't book a private room and can only eat in the main hall."

Fortunately, Shangguan Shishi doesn't care where they eat; it’s one of the few good impressions she left on Wang Zheng as this high-society lady.

When he saw an entire roast duck being served up with its alluring aroma filling the air, Wang Zheng took a deep breath and displayed a satisfied expression.

"How long have I been away from Beijing How long has it been since I last smelled this familiar scent"

Sheng Fei smiled when she saw Wang Zheng's somewhat intoxicated expression but then her face darkened slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. However, she hid it extremely well and nobody noticed anything wrong with Sheng Fei.

The enticing aroma filled the air, making everyone’s appetite surge; especially Wang Zheng whose stomach rumbled audibly.

As the chef sliced the duck at the table and explained how to eat it properly, Wang Zheng beside him felt impatient because of his slow actions. He directly snatched the slicing knife from the chef's hand and said, "Let me do it."

The chef was clearly upset by Wang Zheng’s action and said, "Sir, we have been professionally trained. Only our method can fully showcase the flavor of the roast duck."

Shangguan Shishi also wanted to express her dissatisfaction but before she could say anything, she was already captivated by Wang Zheng's skillful technique!

The chef was speechless with his mouth agape!

And Sheng Fei’s eyes that were previously dim now shone brightly!Wang Zheng coming from the other end of the hallway. His expression darkened immediately, understanding everything.The man who had captured Song Ziyè’s heart should be him!In this moment, Li Tianshu r...
