Feng Xiangniu stood up from her chair when she heard this. Her face turned slightly red because of excitement. Are these bastards trying to make trouble? Regardless of whether there are criminals hiding in her hotel, it is too much for these bastards from the Pushui Public Security Bureau to barge in without saying hello, just because this hotel is owned by her, Feng Xiangniu.
The manager was still chattering on and on about how just now, a large group of people in police uniforms rushed in from the lobby and rushed into the guest rooms without caring about anything.
The manager quickly stopped them and said that many hotel guests were resting during this period of time. He hoped that the police could understand the difficulties faced by hotel operators. There should be a buffer time before the search so that the hotel can have time to notify hotel guests who are still resting and get ready to cooperate with the inspection.
The manager begged the police in a servile tone, but they ignored him. Someone grabbed the manager's clothes, while others walked in. The manager saw that the situation was out of control and knew something was wrong. He quickly ran to the office of General Manager Feng Xiangniu to report the emergency.
Feng Xiangniu asked, did they have a search warrant?
The manager answered and seemed to take out some certificate and wave it in front of me.
Feng Xiangniang scolded in a dissatisfied tone, "How can you be a manager? You didn't even check whether they had a search warrant or not, and you let these bastards break in. Hurry, take me over to take a look."
The manager didn't dare to say anything more at this time. He walked in front and led Feng Xiangniang into the lobby of the hotel department.
Guest house
In the hall, a group of service staff were standing against the wall with nervous expressions. When they saw the boss Feng Xiangniang coming, they all stared at her. Feng Xiangniang knew in her heart that her subordinates had never suffered such injustice since the hotel opened.
The former police chief Wang Lubao would have to be more reserved when he came to my place. The new police chief, who didn't know my background, actually came to my store to bully others. He really chose the wrong place. If I were someone who could be bullied by any dog, how could I have managed such a big business in Honghe County in the past few years?
As soon as Feng Xiangniu entered the hall, she said to the leading policeman, "Stop all actions immediately and call your director over."
The leading policeman was directing his men to conduct a careful search according to the division of labor on each floor of the hotel, when suddenly he heard the arrogant voice of a young woman from above. He hesitated for a moment, turned around, stared at Feng Xiangniang and asked, "Who are you?"
Feng Xiangniang sneered, “You don’t even know me, and you dare to search my hotel housekeeping department?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the police immediately understood Feng Xiangniang's identity. It turned out that this was the legendary Feng Xiangniang, one of the richest women in Honghe County and the owner of the Old Fish Restaurant.
But I didn't expect that this person looked so young. Not only young, but also very beautiful.
The leading policeman nodded reluctantly at Feng Xiangniang and said, "Mr. Feng, we are also performing our duties. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can complain to the relevant department."
After saying this, the leading policeman continued to instruct his subordinates on work arrangements, leaving Feng Xiangniu aside as if she were invisible.
Feng Xiangniu's face flushed with anger. She asked loudly, "Who is your person in charge? Ask him to come and see me."
Feng Xiangniu's voice was sharp and thin, and because of her excitement, her voice was really loud. After she said this, everyone in the hotel lobby's attention was drawn to Feng Xiangniu.
The leading policeman finally turned around and looked at Feng Xiangniang, and slowly said, "I am Li Chenghua, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Honghe County. May I ask what I can do for you, Mr. Feng?"
Feng Xiangniu could not help but be surprised, she did not expect that the Public Security Bureau Chief Li Chenghua would also come to the search scene. It was just an ordinary search of the hotel, but the chief would actually come in person. Could it be...
Feng Xiangniu's heart couldn't help but feel cold, but her face remained tense. She said to Li Chenghua in a reprimanding tone, "Director Li, are you coming here to mess things up so early in the morning?"
Li Chenghua twitched the corner of his mouth towards the fierce girl in front of him, turned to the policeman standing next to him and said, "Show the search warrant to Mr. Feng."
Feng Xiangniu immediately waved her hands and said, "No need. Director Li is here in person. He can get any search warrant with just a word. I just want to ask, why did Director Li search my hotel for no reason? Could it be that the people in the Public Security Bureau are so bored that they have so many major cases to ignore and instead come and pick on a woman like me?"
Li Chenghua had to admire the sharp tongue of the young girl in front of him. Her words were very harsh. She didn't look like a girl who hadn't married yet.
He is simply a veteran who has been in the world for many years.
Li Chenghua said that our public security organs received reports from the public that a criminal suspect was seen in Mr. Feng’s hotel, so we came here to search.
Feng Xiangniu snorted coldly and said, "This is really strange. What is a "mass report"? What's the difference between what Director Li did and the thief crying thief? You said there is a criminal suspect in my hotel. Is there one? I can definitely sue you for abuse of power, do you know that?"
Li Chenghua felt a little angry when he saw Feng Xiangniang's tough attitude and harsh words. If she was not a woman, and a pretty one at that, he would not have bothered to explain anything more to her.
Li Chenghua said with a serious expression, "Mr. Feng, please understand that this is our job. Since the public has reported it, our public security department must perform our duties. I have the right to search your hotel. Please don't disturb my normal work, okay?"
Facing Feng Xiangniu's questioning, Li Chenghua had a clear idea in his heart. He was informed by internal information this morning that Tu Deqin, a major criminal suspect in the Jia Tianhou case, was hiding in Feng Xiangniu's hotel. If Li Chenghua had not had the accurate information, he would not have led the team here in person.
You know, County Magistrate Qin takes this case very seriously.
Feng Xiangniang, however, refused to give in. She said to Li Chenghua in a serious tone, "Director Li, if you want to exercise your public security power, I can cooperate with you, but let me be frank with you. If you can't find out anything, you will have to compensate my hotel for the losses caused by this."
Li Chenghua saw that Feng Xiangniu's words were becoming more and more unpleasant. The police just looked around and searched, and did not damage anything in the hotel, so why did they bring up the issue of compensation at the market price?
Seeing Li Chenghua frowning, Feng Xiangniu counted on her fingers and said, "Business in my hotel has always been good. The daily traffic is relatively fixed, and it is common for the rooms to be fully occupied. Today, Director Li, you have exercised your privilege to search my place. If you find anything, I will consider myself unlucky. But if you can't find the person you are looking for, you must give me an explanation afterwards, right?"
Li Chenghua finally understood what Feng Xiangniang meant. This woman was quite shrewd. She really couldn't find any reason to stop the police's search, so she came up with this non-reason.
Li Chenghua looked impatiently at his men who had already been assigned, waved his hand and gave orders to immediately begin a comprehensive search.
At this critical moment, Feng Xiangniu stood at the stairs in one step, and asked loudly with an attitude of one man blocking the way for ten thousand men, "Director Li, if you investigate like this, will there be any guests who dare to stay in my hotel in the future? If you insist on investigating today, I won't stop you, but if you can't find any results, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Seeing Feng Xiangniang saying harsh words to him, Li Chenghua smiled coldly in his heart and said, damn it, this woman really thinks that I, the Public Security Bureau Chief, am just a rookie. If I can be scared by a few words from her, wouldn't I be an idiot?
Li Chenghua didn't understand Feng Xiangniang's roar and threats at all. He waved his hand at his men and said, "Why are you still standing there? Carry out the mission according to the original plan."
His men wanted to rush forward, but Feng Xiangniang desperately blocked them at the stairs. Li Chenghua didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with. He said to his men who looked at him for help that anyone who obstructed the performance of his duties would be arrested.
Chapter 60 Jiraiya
Qiu Jie just smiled when he heard that. He made sure that there was no movement downstairs and planned to go back to school.
Before leaving, Lin Xin gave Qiu Jie a savings card. Seeing his puzzled look, she explained, "This is the money your mother saved for you. You can take it back and save it for college. Although it's not much, it's enough for your tuition. The password is your date of birth."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qiu Jie and sighed, "You have to work hard and don't let your mother down."
Qiu Jie reached out to take the card, looked at Lin Xin, then looked at the thin card, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make to face the situation.
He was stunned for a moment, then he covered his eyes, forced a smile and touched the tip of his nose with the back of his hand. He wanted to keep smiling, but the sadness pressed the corners of his mouth and he couldn't lift it up.
Qiu Jie said bitterly: "Auntie, don't make a fuss, this must be your money, my mother didn't think so carefully."
"Qiu Jie, to tell you the truth, your mother has never stopped working to earn money after giving birth to you. Her bonuses for the past five years are all in this card, and I also added some money into it, a total of 12 yuan, plus the bank interest for the past years, it should be more than yuan, I didn't count the exact amount." Seeing Qiu Jie's shocked mouth, Lin Xin explained, "It's not that I didn't want to give you this money earlier, but you were young and ignorant before, and I was afraid that you would spend it recklessly. Now that you have grown up and are preparing to go to college, I must give you this money. Even if you don't come to see your aunt, your aunt will personally hand it to you."
Qiu Jie could no longer hold back his gratitude. He took a long step, ran to Lin Xin, hugged her tightly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Lin Xin patted his shoulder and retorted: "If you want to thank someone, thank your mother. There's no point in thanking me."
Qiu Jie's sad mood suddenly disappeared halfway, and he shouted helplessly: "Aunt Lin."
Lin Xin joked, "Really don't think about thanking me. This is all the money I can give you. You should work hard to earn the rest."
Qiu Jie carefully stuffed the card into the gap of his schoolbag and said sincerely, "That's enough. That's enough." When he stepped out of the door, he couldn't help but turn back and said to Lin Xin, "Auntie, I'll come to you after the college entrance examination."
"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded with red eyes and sent Qiu Jie out.
I have my own money to go to college...it feels really good not to have to rely on anyone.
Qiu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a new life had begun.
He walked out of the community gate, stood next to the bus stop, and looked at the people coming and going. He was so excited that he didn't want to go back to school for evening self-study. He really wanted to tell Qiao Si and Shi Youjie the good news.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Qiao Si, asking him to come out for dinner before returning to school.
An hour later, Qiao Si arrived at the agreed restaurant and saw Qiu Jie, who was wearing a pure white short-sleeved shirt and sitting by the window in a daze with his chin in his hand. He walked up to Qiu Jie happily and shouted to him, "Qiu Qiu."
Qiu Jie turned around upon hearing the voice and smiled towards Qiao Si, like a magnolia flower that was ignorant of the world, with a refreshing, elegant fragrance that was refreshing to the heart.
Qiao Si couldn't help but lean over and kiss Qiu Jie's lips, saying, "I missed you so much."
Qiu Jie smiled and agreed: "Me too
Yes. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and you can order whatever you want."
Qiao Si's face darkened, and he asked dignifiedly, "Are you working again?"
"No," Qiu Jie took his hand and sat next to him, and replied calmly: "My mother gave me money."
"Oh, I see." Qiao Si grabbed Qiu Jie's hand and tickled his palm, reminding him, "The college entrance examination is only two months away. Don't waste your time working."
Qiu Jie heard the concern in Qiao Si's words, smiled brightly, teased him intentionally, and said, "Then is it a waste of time for me to invite you to dinner?"
Qiao Si pursed his lips and answered confidently, "Of course not. We had dinner together to relax and relieve the tense atmosphere of the college entrance examination."
Qiu Jie thought Qiao Si was really cute. He had a cold and stern appearance that kept strangers away, but he was clingy and gentle, like a little puppy who would act cute and coquettish at any time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke Qiao Si's cheek with his fingertips, and couldn't help but say, "I hope we can be together forever."
"Of course." Qiao Si lowered his head and kissed the back of Qiu Jie's hand.
Qiu Jie smiled again, and pushed the chocolate wrapped in a gift box on the table in front of Qiao Si, saying, "Try this brand of chocolate. It reminds me of my mother's taste."
"Okay," Qiao Si was very happy to receive Qiu Jie's gift for the first time. He couldn't help but hold the gift box and said to Qiu Jie, "I can't bear to open it, and I can't bear to eat it."
"Silly boy, you will receive countless gifts in the future. If there is anything you are reluctant to open, let me do it." Qiu Jie said as he was about to snatch Qiao Si's gift but was pushed away.
Qiao Si defended himself very seriously: "This is the first gift my boyfriend gave me. Only I can touch it. No one else can touch it. Of course, the same goes for you."
Qiu Jie couldn't help but laugh and punched Qiao Si, secretly rejoicing that it was really nice that Qiao Si took the initiative to confess his love to him that day.
After dinner, Qiao Si wanted to take Qiu Jie back to school. Qiu Jie thought about it and refused, explaining: "It's already very late. If you take me back, you will miss the last bus home."
Qiao Si said indifferently: "I can just take a taxi."
Qiu Jie shook his head and insisted: "It would be bad for my classmates to see me dating someone from society."
"A member of society? Okay." Qiao Si was also afraid that rumors would affect Qiu Jie's studies, and ultimately he couldn't persuade him. He watched Qiu Jie get on the bus back to school before going home.
Qiu Jie got off the bus along the hot inside, and took out his school uniform jacket from his schoolbag and put it on as he walked.
Five minutes later, he walked to the school gate and saw a familiar-looking man standing next to the security booth at the school gate. Curious and unable to help but quicken his pace, he walked up to the man. He looked closely and saw that it was Qiu Qingyu. Thinking of what happened this afternoon, he couldn't help but ask angrily, "Why are you here?"
Qiu Qingyu looked bitter, and reached out to pull Qiu Jie's wrist, saying with concern: "I heard from the neighbors that you ran into Zhuang Li and the others. I was afraid that something happened to you, so I came to check on you."
Qiu Jie avoided Qiu Qingyu's hand and said expressionlessly: "I'm fine, just don't come to see me in the future."
Seeing that Qiu Jie didn't fall for it, Qiu Qingyu couldn't pretend anymore and angrily scolded
He cursed, "I'm your father, can't I come to see my son?"
Qiu Jie frowned when he saw his true face, and then he suddenly raised his voice to launch a series of attacks, asking: "Why did you come here to wait for me? Don't you know that I am going to take the college entrance examination? Are you really worried about me? Aren't you worried that your appearance will cause me trouble?"
Qiu Qingyu's frail face, hollowed out by gambling debts and pornographic venues, was hidden in the night, making him look somewhat amiable, but still unable to hide his sarcastic, selfish features. He complained and blamed, "What are you talking about? How could you think of me like that?"
"How else can I miss you?" Qiu Jie really didn't want Qiu Qingyu to ruin his good mood today, so he pushed Qiu Qingyu away and walked towards the school gate.
Qiu Qingyu rushed forward to stand in front of Qiu Jie, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, lowered his head again, and pleaded: "Son, can you help Dad this time and lend me some money to help me get through this difficult time? I swear that I will really turn over a new leaf this time!"
“Qiu, Qing, Yu!” Qiu Jie gnashed his teeth and called out his name. His mood gradually worsened, and he asked word by word: “Let’s not talk about whether you can change your gambling habit. I just want to ask you, how can you think that a student like me can lend you so much money and pay it back?!”
Qiu Qingyu grabbed Qiu Jie's hands, shook them vigorously, and begged, "Aren't you with that rich second-generation? Ask him to borrow some money to help you out first, and I will pay him back later! My dear son, the people I owe money to this time are different from before. They are all gangsters. If you don't pay me back, they will really kill me!"
Qiu Jie laughed in anger and asked coldly, "Who told you that I'm with a rich second-generation? He's just an ordinary office worker, okay? Distant water can't quench a nearby fire, so just give up."
Qiu Qingyu's face suddenly changed, like a storm about to pass. He grabbed Qiu Jie with more force, half threateningly: "You bastard, don't even think about deceiving me. Last time, your aunt Zhao and I saw him buy a bunch of clothes at the brand store where you work without blinking an eye. Which ordinary office worker can squander money like this?"
Qiu Jie's pupils suddenly shrank into pinholes. He felt that the treasure he had been longing for and hiding was coveted by a bastard, and was about to be used by the bastard for his own evil purposes.
He began to think that Qiu Qingyu's debt-ridden situation would force him and Qiao Si to separate.
The person who had just hugged and kissed him was about to leave him, and Qiu Jie felt like a balloon filled with hydrogen, ready to explode at any time.
He clenched his jaw tightly, and the protruding blue veins slid down the collar of his school uniform. Then, Qiu Jie struggled to break free from Qiu Qingyu's restraints and shouted angrily: "Qiu Qingyu, wake up! What does his wealth have to do with you? What qualifications do you have to borrow money from him?"
