Supreme Man

Chen Lingyun ignored him and instead walked over to Ye Hao and asked, "Hao, are you okay?"

"Uncle Chen, it seems Nanyue has some significant loopholes! Especially Peng City, this key development city, to have such parasites here." Ye Hao glanced meaningfully at Zhang Pengjing as he spoke.

"The loopholes may be big, but the net of justice is vast and not easily evaded. If they don't fall today, they surely will tomorrow." Chen Lingyun also glanced at Zhang Pengjing and snorted.

Seeing Chen Lingyun's arrival, and knowing he was acquainted with Ye Hao, Zhang Pengjing realized that things wouldn't end well today. So he quickly sent a message to his brother, Zhang Pengcheng.

His elder brother, Zhang Pengcheng, is the chairman of Zhang Group and knows some influential figures. Hence, he had to call his brother; otherwise, Chen Lingyun might just bring him down today.

After all, Chen Lingyun assists Su Jinyuan in handling party affairs. For officials like them, without enough rank or connections, Chen Lingyun could easily dismiss them by just having a word with the organizational department.

Of course! If he were the mayor of Peng City, Chen Lingyun wouldn't be able to remove him from his position; reaching the rank of mayor or municipal party secretary in Peng City requires a decision from the Central Hub's organization department.

"Mr. Chen, do you know this young comrade?" Zhang Pengjing asked, hatching a plan as he looked at the officer on the ground.

"Yes, I do. Why, Vice Mayor Zhang, do you have something to report to me?" Chen Lingyun also noticed the people from the police station lying on the ground; there was no need to ask who the originator was—it was definitely Ye Hao.

"Indeed! Secretary Chen, look at all these comrades lying on the ground. They're not lounging there by choice; they were knocked down. This is a terrible incident!" Zhang Pengjing feigned difficulty.

"Heh, I don't see it as terrible. What about you, Vice Mayor Zhang? You think it's terrible? Point it out to me, then." Chen Lingyun chuckled, knowing Ye Hao's other identity—as the bodyguard of Lin Ruyu.

No matter who approached Lin Ruyu, Ye Hao had the right to act first and report afterward. If they tried to arrest Ye Hao, he could entirely frame it as an attempt to assault Lin Ruyu or claim those officers had dubious identities.

"This comrade refused to cooperate with the police. When the police officers questioned him, he didn't answer. When they wanted to take him back to the station, he even resorted to violence. Isn't this incident severe enough?" Zhang Pengjing asked.

"What was the reason he needed to assist the police? What was he doing that needed questioning? What did the officers ask him?" Chen Lingyun countered.

"Because he injured my sister. My sister's entire shoulder was broken by his kick," Zhang Pengjing replied.

"Heh, why would he hit your sister?" Chen Lingyun sneered. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the few finger marks on Bai Linglong's face.

Such a small child and Zhang Pengjing's sister dared to hit her. No wonder Ye Hao crippled her—even if he, Chen Lingyun, had the ability, he would also have brought down someone as brash as He Chunxiu.

"This... maybe it's just the roughhousing among kids."

"Preposterous! Vice Mayor Zhang, is this how you conduct yourself as a mayor? Have you investigated the matter thoroughly? Do you understand the details? Roughhousing among kids? Then take a look at the marks on this little girl's face—is that something children can cause? Under the party's influence, haven't you learned that as a party member, one must be accountable for what they say and do?" Chen Lingyun pointed at the four fingerprints on Bai Linglong's face, coldly gazing at Zhang Pengjing and snorted.

"Wuaaah... Sir Chen, it hurts," Bai Linglong said, wanting to speak with Chen Lingyun the moment she saw him appear.

Although Bai Linglong hadn't met Chen Lingyun often, children's memories are sharp. Chen Lingyun had visited Ye Hao here several times but hadn't seen Ye Hao, ending up playing with Bai Linglong instead.

"Lulong, with Grandpa Chen here, whoever hit you will be punished by the law," Chen Lingyun assured.

Chen Lingyun then turned his gaze to Su Qing, and upon noticing a few scars on her face as well, his expression turned grim.

Turning his head towards the surrounding female teachers, Chen Lingyun asked, "Greetings, everyone. I am Chen Lingyun, deputy secretary of Nanyue Provincial Committee. I happened to pass by this kindergarten today to visit a little friend of mine, Bai Linglong. Unfortunately, I found that this cute little friend was beaten. Do you know who did it? Why were they so harsh? What kind of deep hatred would lead someone to hit a child so severely? Search your conscience—don't you feel any pity?"

Chen Lingyun's words made the female teachers hang their heads in shame.

The leading officer helped the rolling officers up from the ground. However, they just stood aside, keeping their heads low without saying a word.

They had truly been on the wrong side of things! Earlier, threatened by Zhang Pengjing, they were forced to act. Now with the higher-ranking official, Chen Lingyun, present, they naturally wouldn't follow Zhang Pengjing's orders.

The female teachers felt ashamed, but no one dared to step forward, as Zhang Pengjing's brother, Zhang Pengcheng, was the chairman of this kindergarten.

If they sided with Chen Lingyun and offended Zhang Pengcheng, their future in Peng City would also be at stake, so they chose to remain silent.

"Why? Did none of the teachers see it? As educators, aren't you concerned for your students?" Chen Lingyun's expression darkened; people like this, how are they fit to be teachers?

"Heh, Secretary Chen, what brings you to my humble abode?" At that moment, a group of people walked in from outside the kindergarten gate, the leader looking about fifty years old. It was none other than Zhang Pengjing's brother, Zhang Pengcheng, the chairman of Zhang Group. He looked at Chen Lingyun quite calmly.

He wasn't a supporter of the Su Family's Su Sect, so he wasn't particularly fond of Chen Lingyun.

Moreover, his development area was in Peng City, not under the management of the Nanyue Provincial Committee, so even if he ignored Chen Lingyun, there wasn't much Chen could do about it.

"Chairman Zhang, it's good timing. I was just inquiring whether your kindergarten prioritizes the safety, wellbeing, and psychological impact on the children." Chen Lingyun looked at Zhang Pengcheng and snorted.

"Naturally, do you think I wouldn't know my own kindergarten?" Zhang Pengcheng said with a chuckle. He wasn't aware of Ye Hao and the others' identities, but he knew Chen Lingyun was Su Jinyuan's man.

Although Su Jinyuan was vigorous in Nanyue, Zhang Pengcheng had supporters in the Central Hub, so he wasn't afraid of Su Jinyuan suppressing him in the future.

"Then may I ask, Chairman Zhang, who hit the little girl, Bai Linglong?" Chen Lingyun coldly asked.

"That might be because the little girl got scratched somewhere being mischievous, nothing serious..." (To be continued.
