CHAPTER 868: CHAPTER 590: IDENTITY

It’s not the provincial capital here, just a small place, so receiving a secret order from the Imperial Capital is, of course, a big deal. The tasks assigned by the Imperial Capital are naturally treated as top priority.

So today, they must take down this Su Xiaofeng. If they can’t even handle her, how can they talk about making meritorious contributions? It would simply be a joke to the people from the Imperial Capital.

"Wait a little longer, wait for Captain Hong to come." Xiaofeng wasn’t in a rush.

"You have some nerve. Do you know who we are? We are from the city, and you call someone from the county to come over. Do you think it will help?" The man in the lead, wearing a police uniform, looked righteous.

From his standpoint, he was certainly not wrong.

He was also just following orders.

"Comrade, it won’t hurt to wait a little longer, right? I’ve already contacted Captain Hong, and he said he’s on his way. Please wait a moment," Su Peng explained after finishing the call and hearing these words.

The leader snorted coldly, "Fine, I’m curious to know what your Captain Hong will say to me." Captain Hong was also famous in the city, and as part of the same system, he was naturally recognized.

There’s no way Captain Hong could overshadow him; he certainly didn’t believe that.

Xiaofeng’s eyes were calm.

She wasn’t in a hurry; she was just worried about Yecheng over there.

The other side started making moves against her, which meant Yecheng must have grasped some critical evidence. The other side began to counter or obstruct Yecheng’s plans.

So, she couldn’t afford to have any trouble and needed to head back quickly.

About ten minutes later, an off-road vehicle stopped at the food factory entrance. Fortunately, it was working hours, so besides the passersby stopping to look, the factory workers were unaware of the situation.

Despite this, as word spread among the passersby, quite a few people gathered around.

People naturally have a sense of awe when they see police cars or officers appear.

When they saw the police car appear here, their most immediate thought was to wonder what happened to the factory’s manager.

If the factory manager was really in trouble, it would spell ruin for them. If the manager was in trouble, the factory was definitely doomed.

It’s known that this factory is now very famous in the county, not to mention the high wages, the benefits are better than other factories. Many people don’t want to go to other factories once they enter.

If this factory falls, the unfortunate ones would be those working there, not to mention whether they can receive their wages; they might even face unemployment.

Soon, the entrance was filled with people eager to watch the drama unfold.

"I told you, this factory developed too quickly; there must be problems. See? It’s attracted the cops, and we don’t even know what the charge is now." remarked one bystander.

"That’s right, I’ve never seen a factory manager this young. At such a young age, achieving such success must mean they have some connections or other tricks. Now look, they are in trouble." another bystander echoed.

"It’s not necessarily trouble, maybe they’ve been framed," some believed it was not necessarily a genuine crime.

Captain Hong got out of the car, took a look at the situation before him, and walked over with a smile, "Captain Lu, what brings you here? You came without announcing yourself, let me fetch you."

Captain Lu looked at the newcomer, his lips also raised, "Old Hong, this is no small matter, it’s a big affair. I had to come personally."

"Oh no, there’s big trouble in my territory?" Old Hong looked surprised, "Please enlighten me, Captain Lu."

"Old Hong, this is indeed big trouble. We’ve received a secret order from the Imperial Capital saying that Su Xiaofeng has committed a heinous crime, and we must detain her. I can’t ignore an order from the Imperial Capital, can I? Old Hong, don’t say I’m not giving you face. Although this is your territory, you are ultimately my subordinate, and you really can’t interfere in this matter. Take Su Xiaofeng away."

"Captain Lu, if you intend to take someone, I truly can’t stop you." Old Hong wasn’t worried, he walked up to Captain Lu, "Captain Lu, there’s one thing you might not know."

"What is it, do you intend to lecture me?" Captain Lu frowned.

Looking at Old Hong’s stance, he was genuinely going to hinder him from taking the person away.

Taking the person away was definitely not feasible, and Old Hong wasn’t capable of that.

"Yes, you go ahead."

Old Hong leaned closer, showing him a document he held, and gently said, "There’s something you might not know, this Su Xiaofeng is the Young Madam of the Gu Family from the Imperial Capital. I think given your status, Captain Lu, you can’t really do anything to the Young Madam of the Gu Family, right?"

Captain Lu stared at the thing in Old Hong’s hand, feeling numbly from head to toe.

He couldn’t feel anything about what Old Hong said afterward.

Old Hong, he, he...

"She’s from the Gu Family?" After a long while, Captain Lu finally found his voice.

"What else?" Old Hong countered.

"You... "

"As for my identity, it’s enough if you know it at heart." With a smile, Old Hong said to him, "Of course, if you’re adamant about taking her away, I won’t stop you. But you should consider the consequences carefully, Captain Lu."

Captain Lu certainly wasn’t stupid.

Su Xiaofeng belonged to the Gu Family, which was no ordinary household in the Imperial Capital.

Now, the orders he received were from the Imperial Capital, clearly indicating someone wanted to deal with the Gu Family, using him, a newbie, as a scapegoat.

This was evidently a conflict between the Gu Family and another family, and as a local newbie, he definitely couldn’t get involved. If he did, his future would be uncertain.

"Old Hong, you’re right, I was hasty in this matter. Rest assured, I will ascertain the reasons before deciding whether to take action. We should have a meal sometime, we are all brothers, let’s reminisce." The Imperial Capital is too far away for his connections to reach.

But he could certainly try to build connections with Old Hong here, maybe he would need it one day.

"Whenever Captain Lu decides to come, I’ll be happy to accompany."

Captain Lu looked at Su Xiaofeng and smiled, "Young Madam Gu, I apologize. I made a mistake, nearly causing you to suffer an unfounded injustice. Since Old Hong has clarified your identity to me, I will inquire with my superiors about this matter. Please accept my apologies."

His attitude did a complete 180-turn.
