C138 Old Head

He Minglin couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw his old leader. Being an official was nothing compared to being an official. Even though everyone knew He Minglin was an official of the Liu division, in order to avoid suspicion, He Minglin was explicitly forbidden by the old gramps from visiting the Liu family.

Although He Minglin was unhappy, he understood that this was the boss's intention to protect him. If he were to often forget about the Liu family compound and run away, who knew how he would be treated by the people who wanted to help him.

Seeing He Minglin turn around with tears flowing down his cheeks, the reporters surrounding the city government could guess the identity of this Old Man Liu through the phone no matter how much they tried. Of course, what made him most curious was the identity of the young man who had given He Minglin the phone call just now.

As the crowd thought of this, when they raised their heads again, they discovered that they couldn't even find the silhouette of that young man. This group of reporters could not help but feel indignant in their hearts. The disappearance of such a good topic as the filming of the third generation was truly disappointing.

"Ming Lin, turn on the phone, I want to talk to the big guy for a bit!" Old Man Liu and He Minglin spoke a few words before suddenly speaking.

He Minglin was surprised and hastily asked, "Old Master, you are …?"

"It's fine, why do you think this old man is going to push you into a fire pit?" Old Man Liu laughed.

He Minglin did not hesitate any longer. He pressed the speaker button, and turned to face the reporter in front of him.

The crowd immediately quietened down. Even the sound of the horns on the street gradually disappeared. At this moment, the reporters felt as if the air around them had frozen, as if there was no wind blowing at all.

"Hello everyone, I believe you already know who this old man is, so I don't need to introduce myself. Many people must be curious about why I made this call. The reason is simple, it's because I want to properly praise He Minglin, Mayor He! " Old Man Liu, who was on the other side of the phone, said confidently.

Praise Mayor He? The crowd immediately burst into an uproar when they heard Old Master Liu's words. Could it be that old man Liu was confused? The government of Yu City had caused such a commotion, but this old man Liu was actually praising Mayor He. It seemed to be just as the rumors said. Mayor He was Old Master Liu's man, which was why he acted like this.

Old Man Liu acted as if he had guessed that the crowd would react in such a way. He smiled merrily on the other end, "Everyone must be suspecting that I'm doing this in favor of Little He, but I still need to tell you the truth …"

Old Master Liu's words came to a halt. The reporters who were anxiously staring at the phone all fished out recording pens from their pockets and prepared all the tools by their side, waiting for Old Master Liu to continue speaking.

"The reason for this is very simple. It all boils down to living in peace and security. No one knows when the emergency will happen, so the central government decided to launch a raid down there to test the emergency response of these grass-roots decision makers. " Old Man Liu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong sense of conviction.

Hearing this, quite a few reporters and citizens revealed an expression of realization. So this was a test of the government's emergency response. It seems like our city is doing pretty well without any accidents, and everything is handled in a neat and orderly manner.

"The municipal government of Fa Yu has performed very well in this emergency response test. There was no panic in the city and all the staff were evacuated without disturbing the public and official's lives. To have such an effect, Mayor He had done a great job. However, for the sake of secrecy, Mayor He could only let this old man talk about it! "

As soon as Old Man Liu finished speaking, the applause was thunderous. All the reporters and citizens looked at He Minglin with eyes full of trust, completely different from before.

"That's all I have to say, why am I proud of the mayor's actions!" Old Man Liu hung up after saying this.

The surrounding reporters were wild with joy. What happened today was too unexpected, so they decided to write about it. And they had a mayor who was proud and relieved to be in power.

"Mayor He, do you have anything you want to add to what Old Man Liu said?"

"Mayor He, we are proud to have a mayor like you!"

Listening to the surrounding reporters and citizens, He Minglin's heart was finally at ease. He Minglin turned around and looked at the reporters surrounding him. He Minglin cupped his hands and said softly, "This situation has brought a lot of inconvenience to everyone's lives and work. I sincerely apologize to everyone on behalf of the municipal government. At the same time, I hope that tomorrow will be a better day for all of us!"

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time. Cao Jianhua's face was pale as he stared at He Minglin, his eyes full of hatred. He never thought that such a chaotic situation would actually be easily gotten rid of by He Minglin. How could he be willing to accept this?

Gritting his teeth, Cao Jianhua decided that he might as well not do anything and force He Minglin into a dead end. He didn't know what had happened at the City Hall, but to be able to make both Xuanqing and that woman retreat as if they had met a ghost was definitely not a trivial matter.

Since He Minglin said so now, he would let him enter the city. When the truth was revealed, even if He Minglin had a hundred mouths, it would still be hard to tell.

"Mayor He, since it's like this, let's go back to the building to work. We shouldn't let these reporters gather around here anymore!" Cao Jianhua squeezed through the crowd and turned to look at He Minglin with a smile.

When He Minglin heard Cao Jianhua's words, the look in his eyes instantly changed. This guy has never been concerned with his own affairs, there must be a reason for him to be so positive today. Could it be that it's really like what Lin Bai and the rest said, Cao Jianhua actually tried to harm him?!

"Alright, then I'll be the first one to enter this municipal building. I can set an example, but I can also let some people who have ulterior motives break it!" He Minglin said to Cao Jianhua with a smile. Then, he turned around and strode towards the entrance of the municipal building.

Boiled ducks have a tough tongue. When you enter the building with He Minglin, you will know that you are too early to be arrogant. Looking at He Minglin's back, the corner of Cao Jianhua's mouth curved up in a devilish smile.

He had seen the appearance of the employees of the municipal government who had met with mishap last night. He still did not believe that He Minglin would be able to solve a problem that not even the True Master Xuanqing could solve.

One step, two steps, three steps. He Minglin's steps were getting closer and closer to the city government's gate. Cao Jianhua felt as if his heart was hanging in midair, ready to explode or fall at any moment.

But He Minglin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and did not move forward. Cao Jianhua was shocked and then cursed incessantly in his heart.

But after a short while, Cao Jianhua's face revealed a look of ecstasy, because He Ming, Lin Dong, had once again entered the office building with large strides.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong, hurry up and do it! "I want you, He Minglin, to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone!" As Cao Jianhua saw He Minglin's back enter the municipal government building, he couldn't help but clench his fists and grind his teeth in his heart.

The greater the disappointment, the greater the hope. Cao Jianhua was surprised to find that He Minglin's expression did not change at all after entering the government building. It was exactly the same as before.

Impossible! How could He Minglin deal with something that not even Xuanqing's men could? He couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Brother Jianhua, hurry up and come in. It's getting late, let's get back to work!" He Minglin turned to look at Cao Jianhua and smiled. He Jianhua did not hate the political squabbles, as this was a very normal thing to do. However, he was disgusted by Cao Jianhua's treatment of him, so He Minglin did not stand on ceremony.

Hearing He Minglin's words, Cao Jianhua's originally straight back suddenly became a lot more hunched. Even his entire being seemed to have aged in an instant. When he walked, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his steps were a little shaky.

A complete and utter defeat could really be said to be a complete and utter failure. Who would have thought that with Feng Shui being in a position to deal with He Minglin, even if he had inadvertently caused a huge disturbance, He Minglin would not be able to resolve it so easily. All his hard work seemed so ridiculous at this moment.

Looking at Cao Jianhua's expression, He Minglin lightly smiled, turned around and walked towards his office. The moment he walked into the office, he saw Lin Bai standing by the window.

"I was wondering why I couldn't see you. So you were hiding here." He Minglin looked at Lin Bai and smiled, "Lin Bai, Uncle He has to thank you well for helping me out this time."

"Uncle He, don't thank me yet. Let me finish!" Lin Bai said in a deep voice.

Ever since he handed the phone over to him, Lin Bai had been busy with something. But now, his expression was unexpectedly bad, and his tone was incredibly heavy, which caused He Minglin to feel a bit strange.

"What's going on? Would the government building be haunted?" He Minglin turned to look at Lin Bai and asked. He Minglin was an atheist, but what happened last night had too much of an impact on him. Hearing Lin Bai's words, he thought that things had gone awry.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "The ghosts won't cause any trouble, but this troublesome matter has yet to be dealt with."

"Wouldn't it be fine if nothing happened? Why are you still so worried?!" He Minglin looked at Lin Bai with a puzzled expression.

Lin Bai waved his hand, interrupting He Minglin and said, "If we don't deal with this trouble well, it'll be no less troublesome than the previous one!"
