“Alright.”
Chen Feng agreed without a second thought.
This trip to Yongming County, apart from reclaiming the poverty alleviation funds, had the main purpose of accompanying Cheng Lu for some relaxation.
Now that Cheng Lu had proactively suggested staying overnight in Yongming County, there was no reason to refuse.
Chen Feng's swift agreement surprised Cheng Lu.
“Chen Feng, why did you agree so quickly? Shouldn't you have refused?”
Cheng Lu asked, her face filled with confusion.
“Why would I refuse?”
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
“Aren't you afraid I might get carried away tonight?”
Cheng Lu asked, her cheeks flushing slightly.
“I’m not afraid. I have a way,”
Chen Feng replied with a knowing smile.
Cheng Lu wasn't foolish; she knew what the old method referred to.
So, the two of them went to the hotel together.
As soon as they entered the hotel room, they began to embrace. Just as they were preparing to use the old method to get high,
Suddenly, the hotel room door was pushed open.
Chen Feng and Cheng Lu were startled, and all their sensations vanished.
“Campaign against pornography and illegal publications! Room check!”
Four police officers burst in, shouting without preamble.
“Officers, have you made a mistake? We’re just staying here normally. There’s no need to break down the door to check the room, is there?”
Chen Feng frowned and replied.
“Normal rest? You need this for normal rest?”
The police officer retorted.
“Officers, is this illegal?”
Chen Feng was a little annoyed.
“The way you’re using it, of course, it’s not illegal! However, if you’re not using it with your own girlfriend or wife, then it is illegal. Tell me, how much did you pay for the night?”
The police officer asked directly.
“How much did I pay for the night?”
Chen Feng frowned and asked back.
“Are you playing dumb? I’m asking you, how much did you pay to bring this woman to the hotel for the night?”
The police officer said coldly.
“Officers, please retract what you just said.”
Chen Feng bit his lip tightly in anger.
Being insulted himself wasn't that enraging.
A man could bend and flex.
But insulting Cheng Lu was unacceptable!
“What? Trying to argue?”
The police officer sneered.
“I don’t want to say another word to you. If you have the guts, take us back to the police station. If not, the four of you should apologize to my girlfriend immediately.”
Chen Feng said with a murderous intent.
He rarely got emotional since entering the political arena.
But today, he couldn't hold back anymore.
These police officers, in order to collect fines, slandered women as prostitutes. Such behavior was unbearable.
Cheng Lu was a young lady from a wealthy family, completely unrelated to prostitution.
“Quite arrogant, aren’t we? Fine, very fine. We could have let you go with a fine, but since you’re so defiant, you’ll be spending the night at the police station to cool off.”
After saying that, the police officers, without any further ado, escorted Chen Feng and Cheng Lu into the police car.
“Chen Feng, you were impulsive. Couldn’t you have just explained properly?”
Cheng Lu said worriedly.
“If it were any other matter, I could have explained. But these people accused you of being a prostitute right off the bat. I couldn’t stand it.”
Chen Feng said solemnly.
“Really? You care about me that much?”
Cheng Lu’s worry turned into joy.
“I’ve always cared about you! You’re my good friend. Even if you’re not my girlfriend, you’re like one. You’ve helped me a lot, and I won’t allow anyone to slander you.”
Chen Feng said earnestly.
“Chen Feng, what you did really shows your manliness. I like it a lot. But the problem is, what will happen when we get to the police station?”
Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already texted Mayor Qin. She’ll help handle things outside,”
Chen Feng replied calmly.
“It’s so late, will Mayor Qin come to Yongming County to handle our matters?”
Cheng Lu asked with some uncertainty.
“Don’t worry, Mayor Qin has always been good to me as her subordinate. I sent her a text, and she’ll definitely come.”
Chen Feng explained lightly.
He didn’t reveal the deeper reason.
If he had mentioned the deeper reason, that he slept with Mayor Qin, Cheng Lu would likely get jealous again.
“Let’s hope so. But even if she doesn’t come, it’s okay. At worst, we’ll spend the night at the police station. Tomorrow during the day, once things are clarified, we can leave.”
Cheng Lu said with a relaxed expression.
No matter what happened, with Chen Feng by her side, she wasn't as scared.
Soon after, Chen Feng was led into a lounge room by the police. Chen Feng took a quick look; there were no surveillance cameras in the lounge. A police officer, holding a thick book and a hammer, walked in with a menacing expression…
