San Shao, that’s what I’m called in Jingcheng. Outsiders absolutely wouldn’t know this. Upon hearing this nickname, Nie Zhenbang immediately turned around. Could it be that someone from the Jingcheng circle has also come to the South China Sea? Glancing aside, an eighteen-year-old young man was waving at Nie Zhenbang. He walked over with a smile across his face.

Nie Zhenbang was becoming a little puzzled. He didn’t recognize this person. How could he know his alias in the Jingcheng circle?

At this time, the young man had already walked up. He was about 1.75 meters tall. People from the south tended to be thinner and smaller. The man also had some unique characteristics of Southerners. Seeing Nie Zhenbang’s puzzled expression, he smiled and said, “San Shao, do you remember me? It’s Guo Ming. From the entrance of the Yu Ying School. At that time, I was with the second brother and others.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang seemed to remember. When he went to the

Yu Ying School for the first time, there seemed to be such a person behind Nie Jiamin. However, Nie Jiamin didn’t introduce him. It seemed this person wasn’t highly regarded by Nie Jiamin.

Now, it wouldn’t be polite for Nie Zhenbang not to greet him. Nie Zhenbang’s principle of dealing with people was to respect those who show him respect, not to harm those who did not harm him, and to retaliate against those who offended him. He is neither boastful nor flamboyant. But no one should dare to step on him.

“Ah, I remember now. Mingzi, what brings you to Yuedong?” Nie Zhenbang actually didn’t remember, but he pretended on the surface to recall.

If others came all the way and you said you didn’t remember, wouldn’t that be a public slap in the face? And behind Guo Ming were a few young men and women who appeared to be in good family conditions like Guo Ming.

Sure enough, hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Guo Ming’s smile deepened. He then said with a smile, “San Shao, my family is from here. My father is an official in Yuedong. It’s Chinese New Year, so I came back.”

In this era, it was always like this. In Jingcheng, at the Yu Ying School, at the Chaoyang Gate School. In a few schools where Jingcheng princes and princesses were concentrated, there were many students from other provinces, mostly the children of provincial and departmental leaders.

Sometimes, the connections of your children are a form of network. At certain key moments, this can give you an advantage over others.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang appeared very cordial, smiling and said, “Mingzi, don’t call me San Shao. If you respect me, just call me San Ge. Today San Ge can’t accompany you. I have to deal with a few jumping clowns later. You guys sit aside for a while. Once San Ge has taken care of everything, we’ll chat. ”

Guo Ming laughed at this moment. He was clear about Nie Zhenbang’s identity, a prominent figure in the third generation of the Nie family. A person whom even Nie Jiamin had to obey. Given the power of the Nie family, they certainly don’t need help in small matters. However, asking or not asking is a matter of attitude. If you ask, it represents your attitude.

“If San Ge is doing it, there won’t be any problems. These people don’t deserve San Gel s action. If San Ge doesn’t mind, can I handle the following matters?” Guo Ming further expressed his intentions.

Nie Zhenbang shook his head slightly at this moment. Ever since he had swept away Zhou Chen’s face in Jingcheng and, in the end, Zhou Chen had gone to Chunan Province dejectedly, Nie Zhenbang’s reputation had already spread in the Jingcheng circle. The princes and princesses in the Jingcheng circle weren’t fools. They understood that Nie Zhenbang, despite not being acknowledged publicly by the Nie family, had definitely received their support privately. Otherwise, an illegitimate child would never dare to be so impudent.

If Nie Zhenbang backed down at this moment, that wouldn’t be Nie Zhenbang. He then said, “Mingzi, I appreciate your kindness. I’ll handle this matter by myself. I want to see just how powerful this Special Administrative Region’s officials are.’

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Guo Ming laughed awkwardly and then backed down. On the side, a few young men and women gathered around.

“Mingzi, who is this guy? He seems quite impressive. You’re the governor’s son. Do you really need to be this courteous?” One of the men casually spoke up. Guo Ming glanced at the young man, Jiang Wei. The young man’s father was a standing committee member of the South China Sea city’s municipal party committee, and the secretary of the city’s Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He had close ties with Guo Ming’s father and was considered part of his father’s camp. Normally, Guo Ming would not have bothered answering such a question from others. However, now he casually replied, “Politeness aside, haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Until you go to Jingcheng, you can’t comprehend the size of the officialdom? My father is merely a locally born vice-provincial cadre. Even if Xiong Bangguo’s son goes to Jingcheng, he has to walk with his head bowed down. In Jingcheng, what does the child of a provincial ministerial cadre account for?”

Having spoken, Guo Ming walked towards his phone.

At that moment, a group of policemen rushed in from outside. Wei Wenhai trailed behind them. At this moment, Wei Wenhai who had appeared downcast moments ago, was now imperious. His gaze swept over Nie Zhenbang, who was still present, and passed over Luo Pingan. He then laughed uproariously, “Luo Pingan, your audacity is really something. Daring not to run away. Well, well, since you’re offering yourself up for punishment, don’t blame me. Captain Liu, this is the man who, for no reason at all, knocked over my friends. He’s suspected of intentional assault and injury. I suggest you arrest such a dangerous person immediately, as per the law.”

Captain Liu was the head of the public security detachment in the port area.

Wei Wenhai was the local tyrant of the area. He was the younger sibling of the Port Area Party Secretary. As the youngest in his family, he was brazen enough to swear at the Party Secretary of the Port Area, right in front of him.

Captain Liu knew both Luo Pingan and Nie Zhenbang, but he didn’t recognize the man next to them. Judging by his dress and demeanor, he didn’t appear to be someone significant. Captain Liu sighed, wondering why Nie Zhenbang had to offend Wei Wenhai.

Then, Captain Liu stepped forward, presented his police badge to Nie Zhenbang and said, “Young man, someone has accused you of intentional bodily injury. Please come with us.”

On the side, Wei Wenhai began to clamor, “Old Liu, why talk so much? Just take him away directly! In this time of severe punishment, isn’t it supposed to be a strict, severe and fast trial? My friends here are all injured because of him, we have all the evidence we need and the people to testify against him. I see no point in him trying to escape. What are you afraid of?”

As Wei Wenhai’s words came to an end, the police officers present began to approach them. Witnessing this, Nie Zhenbang’s brows furrowed. He was well aware that local officials could be daring. In his previous life, a child from Jingcheng who went to Xibei was dealt with by local officials there. In the end, all that was left was a corpse. Although that official’s family was punished afterward, death was irreversible, and anything else seemed meaningless.

“What’s happening? Are you going to act purely based on the one-sided declarations of this man? This seems too naive,” Nie Zhenbang sneered, looking calmly at the police.

At this moment, the owner of the Revolving Restaurant also stepped forward. Luo Pingan was well-known in the South China Sea’s business sector. The owner of the Revolving Restaurant also came forward as Luo Pingan went to great lengths to protect the young man.

“Gentlemen, I’m the owner of this establishment. It’s true that the young man initiated the fight, however, these people are not entirely blameless. I think you should proceed more carefully.”

At this time, Luo Pingan also took a step forward: “Wei Wenhai, if you dare to arrest him, you’ll have to step over my dead body first. Let’s see if you dare to kill me, a representative of the People’s Congress of the South China Sea.”

“Arrest him! Old Liu, do you want to keep your job as captain or not? If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for it,” Wei Wenhai shouted as he saw Luo Pingan once again interject.

With Wei Wenhai’s continuous prodding, Captain Liu’s men finally sprung into action. Nie Zhenbang stepped forward, snorted, and said, “Since none of you care for the truth, then don’t blame me for not showing any courtesy.”

Nie Zhenbang didn’t get far before there was the sound of movement from outside. Shortly afterward, a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

One of the uniformed officers leading the group walked up, looked around, and asked, “Who is Comrade Luo Pingan?”
