Zhao Qingya laughed a few times, then whispered, "You tell them that since they are so sensible, I, Miss Zhao, will not bother with them. Tell Director Ding not to worry too much. We haven't found any fatal handle on him."

Fang Zhicheng naturally couldn't be as blunt as Zhao Qingya, so he hung up the phone and said to Zhong Yang: "Sister Ya said that the matter is settled. And let Director Ding not worry too much."

When Zhong Yang saw that the matter was settled, a look of relief appeared on his face.

The reason why Zhong Yang was able to join the Criminal Investigation Brigade was because of his uncle's relationship. If his uncle, this big tree, really falls, naturally the monkeys will scatter when the tree falls, and his own future will be in jeopardy. Thinking clearly about the seriousness of the matter, the 30,000 yuan apology money is well worth it.

For Fang Zhicheng, the 30,000 yuan was a windfall. Some time ago, Cheng Bin lent him 7,000 yuan, and then bought a dress worth more than 5,000 yuan for his sister-in-law Qin Yuming, which had already emptied his family's funds. However, even with the 30,000 yuan, Fang Zhicheng still felt that he was an out-and-out poor man.

Everyone has desires and can't help but covet power, money and beauty.

Although Fang Zhicheng is upright most of the time, he is also an ordinary person. Since the other party is offering him the money, he is not stupid enough to just throw it away.

After all, it was not him who suffered the most that day, but Dingzi and Shao Lingfeng. He slapped Shao Lingfeng dozens of times and took the money for apology, which was undoubtedly very refreshing.

However, Fang Zhicheng knew that all this was due to Zhao Qingya's face, so he became more determined to keep climbing up in the future. Only when he had enough strength could he live comfortably.

After getting the money, Fang Zhicheng was in a good mood, and he drank a few more glasses of wine with Zhong Yang and Dingzi, and their relationship became much more harmonious. If you didn't know their previous relationship, you would really mistakenly think that the three of them were close friends.

An hour or two later, there were six or seven more people in the bar. Zhong Yang looked up and his expression changed slightly.

Fang Zhicheng was good at observing people's expressions and noticed Zhong Yang's mood change. He asked softly, "Old Zhong, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It's a small world. I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky as to run into my enemy here."

"Oh?" Fang Zhicheng chatted with Zhong Yang and learned that Zhong Yang's identity and background were not simple. He was less than 30 years old and was already the deputy captain of the first brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Although his rank was not high, only at the deputy section level, he was also a figure.

"Huh? Old Zhong, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance." The man who came over was half a head shorter than Fang Zhicheng, but he had a broad frame, and there was a sense of arrogance in his every move.

Zhong Yang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Liu Laowu, I am also surprised. According to your personality, you are not the type to come here. This place is so literary and artistic, what are you, a rough man, doing standing here?"

As the two of them interacted, tension arose.

Fang Zhicheng frowned and glanced behind Liu Laowu, only to see that the man was also looking at him with sharp eyes, with an indescribable arrogance on his lips.

"Why does this person look so familiar?" Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled. A light flashed in his mind and he remembered who the other person was. It turned out to be Jin Feng, the secretary of Mayor Xia Xiang.

Jin Feng is 27 years old this year. He has been Xia Xiang's secretary for nearly five years. He is expected to become the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, in charge of the municipal government office, and become a deputy division-level cadre. A 27-year-old deputy division-level cadre is rare in the entire Huainan Province. Jin Feng is undoubtedly a new official. Many people know that the reason why Jin Feng can be promoted so quickly is not only because of his extraordinary talent, but also related to his background.

Jin Feng's background is neither in Yinzhou nor in Huainan, but in Yanjing. Being the mayor's secretary in Yinzhou is just a transition. No one knows where he will go in the future.

Jin Feng naturally knew Fang Zhicheng. He stared at Fang Zhicheng playfully with a faint smile on his face.

As a new official in the officialdom, he exuded a faint sense of arrogance. After Jin Feng swept his oppressive gaze over Fang Zhicheng's face, he turned around with a haughty smile on his lips and walked up to the second floor with his head raised.

Although Fang Zhicheng is the secretary of the municipal party secretary, Jin Feng does not take him seriously. After all, Fang Zhicheng is too young. Although he has the support of Song Wendi, he is just a newcomer to the officialdom. Jin Feng does not think he can shake his position in Yinzhou.

Jin Feng seemed to be a regular customer. He happened to meet Aunt Dong on the stairwell and pointed at Liu Laowu and Zhong Yang who were arguing downstairs. Aunt Dong smiled and hurried over to mediate.

Aunt Dong was a little embarrassed, so Liu Laowu couldn't lose his temper in front of her. He cursed a few words, glanced at Zhong Yang with contempt, and turned to go upstairs.

Aunt Dong mistakenly thought that Liu Laowu and Fang Zhicheng had a conflict, so she came close to Fang Zhicheng and reminded him softly, "Liu Laowu's group is not easy to mess with. How did you run into him?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged, pointed at Zhong Yang and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with me. The guy surnamed Liu seems to have a conflict with this buddy."

Zhong Yang did not hide the fact that he was somewhat fond of Aunt Dong's attempt to mediate. He sighed and said, "Old Five and I are born to clash. We both work in the public security system and have had many fights. If it weren't for Brother Fang's sake tonight, I would have definitely given that guy a good beating."

Dingzi added, "Brother, I feel aggrieved too. How about we go and deal with him now?"

Aunt Dong waved her hands quickly and frowned, "Stop it. Do you think I, your boss, don't exist? You're trying to cause trouble in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I'll kick you out? Besides, Liu Neng is not someone you can easily mess with. The people around him are all well-known figures in Yinzhou. If you really start a fight, you'll be the ones who suffer."

Dingzi said unhappily, "They are well-known and well-known, but does that mean my brother has no face?"

Aunt Dong looked at Zhong Yang's face carefully and saw that he was handsome. She poked Fang Zhicheng curiously and asked, "Please introduce your friend..."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "They are not friends. Today, I met one of them for the first time, and the other one for the second time. Before we met, we were enemies."

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious." Aunt Dong stared at Zhong Yang with a smile.

Zhong Yang took a sip of beer and introduced himself: "Zhong Yang."

Dingzi quickly followed and responded, "Ding Quan."

"Zhong Yang? This name sounds familiar." Aunt Dong stared at Zhong Yang with fiery eyes, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw its prey.

Fang Zhicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered in Aunt Dong's ear, "Sister Dong, you wouldn't deliberately try to get closer to him because he's so handsome, right?"

Aunt Dong angrily slapped Fang Zhicheng's arm, then slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Are you the Zhong Yang from the Criminal Investigation Team?"

Zhong Yang nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

Aunt Dong looked at Zhong Yang carefully and sighed, "No wonder he looks familiar. It turns out to be Yinzhou police officer Zhong Yang. He was often a guest on Yinzhou TV and participated in legal program commentary. I didn't expect that he is more handsome in person than on TV."

Zhong Yang's handsomeness is different from the traditional sense of handsomeness. He is masculine, not pretentious, not artificial, and will not disgust people.

On the one hand, Zhong Yang secretly sighed at his popularity. On the other hand, seeing Dong Gu looking at him passionately, his face blushed and he sighed, "I haven't participated in a TV show for a year or two."
