Urban Martial Saint

It’s clear that Huang Boxiong should be a rather competent person; his inspection process was very serious. As for the few people in their thirties beside him, they were not the same. However, Ye Qing didn’t pay much attention to that. As long as Huang Boxiong, the main leader, had no objections, that was fine.

The inspection lasted for half an hour, during which Huang Boxiong thoroughly toured the entire orphanage, carefully checking all areas. His earnestness made Ye Qing feel a lot more at ease. After all, there were absolutely no issues with the construction of the orphanage, and Huang Boxiong definitely wouldn’t be able to find any faults in that regard.

What Ye Qing was truly afraid of were those with a bureaucratic attitude who wouldn’t care about the specifics and would talk nonsense back in the province if they weren’t hosted well. Seeing Huang Boxiong’s approach now, Ye Qing felt much more relieved.

Having toured the entire orphanage, Huang Boxiong didn’t accept Principal Wu’s invitation for a meal. Instead, he stood at the entrance and simply summarized the results of the inspection.

”Mr. Ye, the construction of your orphanage has completely exceeded my expectations,” said Huang Boxiong, seemingly very satisfied with the state of the construction, continually praising Ye Qing: ”All facilities are complete, and the living conditions for the children here are definitely much better than those in our public orphanages. Good, really good!”

Hearing Huang Boxiong’s remarks, Ye Qing was even more delighted and quickly said: ”Director Huang, I’m not sure what the provincial expectations are exactly. However, I can assure you that if the children are here, I will provide them with the best conditions and education, and I absolutely won’t let any child go wandering again!”

”With your promise, I’m much more relieved!” said Huang Boxiong: ”I will certainly report this matter well to the province. However, Mr. Ye, there’s still much about your situation here that I’m not familiar with. I wonder, if you have time, could you please describe the specific circumstances here in more detail?”

”Of course, of course,” Ye Qing said with a smile: ”Just so happens, I’ve already arranged for dinner. Director Huang, why don’t we sit down for a bit, have a rest, and I can report on the specific situation of the orphanage to you.”

”That won’t be necessary,” Huang Boxiong waved his hand: ”I’m really sorry, I’ve got some other matters to deal with, and I’m pressed for time. I have to head over there in a bit, so I can’t delay much longer at your place.”

Ye Qing said: ”If that’s the case, how about I summarize the specific situation here and compile it into a document to send to you later?”

”With documents like these, there’s a chance something might be missed,” looked at Ye Qing, Huang Boxiong said: ”Mr. Ye, if you have the time, how about you come with us on that trip? On the way, you could also explain these situations in detail, and at the same time join us in checking out other schools’ construction, to guide their work. You’re doing very well here, and it’s a good example that needs to be promoted!”

Now that it concerned the orphanage’s ability to continue operating, Ye Qing certainly wouldn’t refuse and quickly nodded: ”No problem, no problem. I don’t really have anything else, so I’ll just go with you.”

Huang Boxiong was delighted, saying: ”That’s the best, Mr. Ye, why don’t you pack up and we leave now?”

”There’s nothing to pack, I can leave now.” Ye Qing turned to Black Bear and said: ”Xiong Zi, take everyone back first, I’ll return later.”

”Cap, should I go with you?” asked Black Bear.

”No need, just head back first,” Ye Qing waved his hand.

Without further comment, Black Bear turned to signal the others to leave. Meanwhile, Ye Qing also got in the car with Huang Boxiong’s group and drove away from the orphanage.

Watching the three cars leave behind him, Wu Yian’s face was filled with joyful smiles. Seeing Huang Boxiong’s unrestrained praise of the orphanage, he understood that they had finally passed this hurdle. Although Huang Boxiong couldn’t influence the thoughts of the main provincial leaders, if he could speak well of this matter, the probability of the orphanage getting approval would also be higher.

Meanwhile, Black Bear didn’t linger at the orphanage, leading everyone away first. Wu Yian had someone tidy up, removing all the banners and cleaning up the scene. It was getting dark, and no time to eat.

Wu Yian punched his lower back, put away the broom, and was about to head back to the dining area for a meal. At that moment, two police cars drove from afar, belonging to Zhao Chengshuang.

”Principal Wu!” Zhao Chengshuang stuck his head out of the car, looking at the tidied up area in surprise, and said: ”Why have you cleaned up already? Is the inspection finished?”

”The inspection finished a while ago,” Wu Yian said with a smile: ”They had a very good evaluation. It seems all the members of the inspection group were quite decent this time!”

”Really?” Zhao Chengshuang’s eyes widened: ”No way, I heard that the leader of the inspection group is Huang Jianan’s son, Huang Boxiong from the East State Municipal Committee, a notorious Rich Second Generation in the province, quite difficult to handle. With Ye Qing’s personality, how could they possibly get along well? It’s already good enough that they didn’t end up fighting, to say they got along well – that’s simply impossible!”

Upon learning that the inspection team had arrived, Zhao Chengshuang immediately made a call to the provincial authorities to check on this matter and got the specific list of the inspection team from friends there. After getting the list, he immediately brought people over, wanting to help arrange things for Ye Qing. Zhao Chengshuang from Shenchuan City had even heard of the notorious name of Black Bear and other Rich Second Generations in the province. He was truly afraid that Ye Qing had angered this person, and if anything else happened, it would be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, he was told that the inspection team had already left, and everything had gone smoothly, which of course shocked him.

”Not at all, he was very nice, spoke politely, and was courteous to everyone, without showing any airs. Moreover, he was very satisfied with the construction work on our side and kept praising us,” said Wu Yian.

”Really? This... this can’t be possible, right? With Black Bear’s temperament, how could he directly express satisfaction? And speak politely, too, is the sun rising from the west?” Zhao Chengshuang looked at Wu Yian and said, ”Principal Wu, could you have heard wrong?”

”No mistake, I’ve been following them all the time, how could I be wrong?” Wu Yian paused, then suddenly said, ”Right, what did you just mention about a Rich Second Generation? Is he... is he really one?”

”Yes, Black Bear, the son of Huang Jianan, the deputy secretary of East State Municipal Committee, is one of the most famous profligates in the provincial capital!” Zhao Chengshuang said, ”This person is notoriously temperamental, how could Ye Qing possibly get along with him?”

”Can’t be, right?” Wu Yian scratched his head and said, ”Black Bear looks almost fifty years old, at that age, still a Rich Second Generation?”

”What fifty years old, Black Bear isn’t even thirty yet, not even married!” Zhao Chengshuang waved his hand and said, ”He is Huang Jianan’s biological son, and Huang Jianan is just over fifty this year, also a late child. Think about it, how could he be that old?”

”No, no, no!” Wu Yian kept shaking his head and said, ”Impossible, that Black Bear looked to be fifty years old, how can he be under thirty. Even if I’m not good at guessing people’s age, but the difference can’t be that much. Fifty-year-old and thirty-year-old, if I’m wrong about that, then what else is there?”

Hearing this, Zhao Chengshuang immediately furrowed his brows, his instinct telling him that something was odd about this.

”Principal Wu, you just said that Black Bear is almost fifty years old?” Zhao Chengshuang asked, ”The Black Bear you’re describing, what does he look like?”

Wu Yian said, ”He’s quite tall, sturdy-built, and broad-shouldered. His face looks very calm, always smiling at people, he...”

”How is that possible?” Zhao Chengshuang directly interrupted Wu Yian, saying, ”Black Bear is not even 1.7 meters tall and is quite skinny, how could he be tall and sturdy. Principal Wu, did you really see it wrong? The person you’re describing is definitely not Black Bear!”

”Can’t be, right?” Wu Yian said, ”But I’ve seen his work ID, with the name and photo on it, and the organization, it can’t be wrong, how could it not be him?”

”A work ID?” Zhao Chengshuang’s brow furrowed tighter, suddenly feeling the matter was even more strange.

Zhao Chengshuang had met Black Bear before and was quite familiar with him. However, the person Wu Yian described was clearly not Black Bear. But then again, Wu Yian had seen the so-called Black Bear’s work ID, what on earth was going on?

Having served many years as a policeman was not in vain for Zhao Chengshuang; his first thought was that someone must be impersonating him. Using fake credentials, assuming someone else’s identity, bluffing and deceiving.

”Where are the people from the inspection team now?” Zhao Chengshuang quickly asked, ”Did you host them? Did you give them anything? Or any money?”

”No, they didn’t want anything, they didn’t even eat here,” said Wu Yian after a pause. ”However, they asked Mr. Ye to go with them, saying they wanted Mr. Ye to report on the construction of the orphanage with them!”

”What!?” Zhao Chengshuang was greatly startled. If these people just wanted some money or something, then they would be just ordinary con artists. But now, these people hadn’t asked for anything, they hadn’t even had a meal, but instead took Ye Qing away, which was not to be underestimated.

Especially under the current circumstances, with Wang Tian’an closely watching Shenchuan City and eager to eliminate Ye Qing, one could imagine the danger Ye Qing would be in if taken away by a group of impostors.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Chengshuang immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Ye Qing’s number. However, the phone couldn’t get through at all, there was no power-off prompt, no overdue fee or busy signal, just unable to connect, which made Zhao Chengshuang’s face change drastically.

Ye Qing, could something have happened?
