ly feels much more comfortable," Luo Jianhong replied with a light laugh.After the two got into their respective cars, they slowly drove out of the car city following the flow of traffic and headed to...Chapter 249: Opening Ceremony (3)
"Director Wu, let's discuss this later. Let’s deal with the situation here first!" Zhang Dahan said as he released his grip on Wu Shouye.
"Right, right, that’s what we should do! Damn it, they dare to cause trouble here! They must be tired of living!"
Upon hearing Zhang Dahan's words, Wu Shouye responded and turned around to look at the joint law enforcement group members. He said,
The people in the joint law enforcement team didn't recognize Wu Shouye, but when they saw Chief Wang and others acting like this, fear welled up inside them as if mice seeing a cat. They felt that they might have hit a hard target this time. In hopes of no one recognizing them, they began to feel the urge to retreat.
At the same time, other members in the joint law enforcement team also showed resentment when looking at the four tall men, as these individuals had told them that it was only an ordinary clinic.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up. Since the opposite side wasn't their direct superior and didn’t recognize them, why not leave now
These people acted on this thought immediately; they dispersed in a loud commotion, all running to their cars while honking loudly, speeding away from the crowd.
Evidently, Wu Shouye and Zhang Dahan didn't stop them. It was Xiao Yu's grand opening day today, and they did not wish to stir up trouble either. Wouldn’t it be easy to settle accounts with them after today
Only the four tall men remained after everyone left. They were still confused about what had happened since all these people suddenly ran away.
"Wait a moment, take them back and investigate thoroughly for me! Find out every bad thing they’ve done!" Wu Shouye instructed the remaining policemen.
The police cars of these officers were stuck in the crowd and couldn’t move. Since Wu Shouye was here, they did not dare to turn on their sirens or shout loudly, so they could only wait for the crowd to disperse.
These policemen felt extremely uncomfortable inside their car. Suddenly hearing Wu Shouye's voice, they were momentarily stunned and then filled with joy. This was a great chance to redeem themselves!
The policemen got out of their cars and took handcuffs to put on the four tall men.
"Chief Wang, what are you doing I’ll give you two… ah…" The tall man said hurriedly when he saw Chief Wang approaching him with handcuffs. However, before he could finish his sentence, Chief Wang punched him in the stomach and the tall man let out a painful scream.
After receiving a punch from Director Wang, the tall man immediately bent over like a big shrimp. Director Wang moved swiftly and handcuffed him before escorting him into the police car.
The others saw what happened to the tall man and none of them dared to resist; they allowed themselves to be handcuffed by the policemen and were escorted into the police cars as well.
Only then did the police car dare to sound its siren. When people heard it, they quickly made way for the car.
Xiao Yu only walked down the steps at this point to stand before Zhang Dahuai and Wu Shouye.
"Director Wu!" Xiao Yu greeted with a smile.
"Little Xiao, congratulations! I hope you won't mind if I come for a drink" Director Wu said while bowing slightly.
"Of course not! Your presence here is an honor," replied Xiao Yu politely.
"Big Brother! You're here too!" Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Dahuai and said.
“Hahaha… Little Brother, do you think I could miss this” Zhang Dahuai laughed loudly in response to Xiao Yu’s words.
Hearing the conversation between Xiao Yu and Zhang Dahuai, Wu Shouye was shocked. He knew that Xiao Yu had a connection with the People's Armed Police, but he didn't expect it to be so deep.
"Please come in," said Xiao Yu as he gestured for Zhang Dahuai and Wu Shouye to follow him.
Wei Jun ran over and took the bouquet of flowers from Wu Shouye's hand, inviting them inside the house.
The Old Master and Xiao Hongyang watched this scene unfold from atop the steps. They exchanged glances and nodded inwardly; they hadn't expected Xiao Yu to have such deep connections. With these relationships in place, there was no need to worry about Wan Sheng Hall not being able to flourish.
The Old Master and his group did not know Wu Shouye, but they knew Zhang Dahuai since he had sought their help with an injury before. They were aware that Zhang Dahuai was someone from the military, and the person who brought him for medical treatment was a Major General whom they recognized. A major general bringing Zhang Dahuai to seek medical care clearly indicated that Zhang Dahuai had significant connections within the military.
Those accompanying Fangyuan originally felt some resentment towards him for bringing them to such an inconspicuous place for the celebration, compared to others who celebrated in restaurants. However, when they saw Wu Shouye carrying a bouquet of flowers and waiting here along with everyone else, their resentment vanished instantly. After all, Wu Shouye was someone whom they knew; how could they have any complaints about him being present
Xiao Yu brought Wu Shuye around the clinic and then arranged for him to sit down.
At this moment, the people who came with Fang Yuan were suddenly excited because Xiao Yu had seated Wu Shuye among their group.
Originally, Xiao Yu wanted Fang Yuan to take Wu Shuye up to the top floor for a rest, but Wu Shuye refused to go. He said he wanted to witness Xiao Yu's clinic opening.
In fact, Wu Shuye knew that important figures were bound to arrive soon, so he wanted to curry favor in advance because several days ago Zhang Shaohua had casually mentioned that Chu Guoqing would be coming.
"Villagers, this afternoon our clinic will provide free consultations. We welcome everyone's participation!"
After stepping out of the house and seeing that the crowd hadn't dispersed, Xiao Yu called out from the steps.
Hearing his words, those who had gathered saw there was nothing much to see and gradually left. Some people didn’t leave but instead sat on the steps a bit away from Xiao Yu’s clinic to chat.
The scene today fascinated them like watching TV; hence, they stayed behind to discuss the identities of those few individuals, intuitively sensing that good entertainment was still to come.
Xiao Yu noticed some people had remained and didn’t say anything. He thought it would be nice for there to be more excitement during the opening ceremony. Xiao Yu turned back inside and took out two boxes of cigarettes, placing them among those who hadn't left.
The earlier incident hadn't affected him at all. Out front, Xiao Yu chatted with his companions while Zhang Dahan had a brief conversation with Xiao Jianying in the house before stepping outside to help welcome guests.
When Xiao Yu and company were chatting, a line of black Mercedes-Benz cars suddenly arrived from afar. Although people in Shendai were quite wealthy, this procession was impressive. Those seated on the steps beside Xiao Yu's clinic pointed at it excitedly.
This convoy bypassed Xiao Yu’s clinic’s main entrance and parked on an empty lot next to the clinic. This parking space used to be part of the antique city, but for some reason, no cars were there today; everyone who wanted to park was directed elsewhere by security guards.
Only then did people realize this area had been reserved for them.
The moment the vehicles stopped, their drivers quickly got out and opened the rear doors. From the first car came a couple—Jin Xianglin and his wife—and from each subsequent vehicle emerged middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.
Jin Xianglin and his wife carried a flower basket; after pausing briefly, they waited for everyone to catch up before heading towards Xiao Yu’s clinic. Apart from Jin Xianglin and his wife carrying the basket themselves, everyone else had one held by their driver.
These drivers each carried a flower basket in one hand and a red cloth scroll in the other.
Jin Xianglin and the others have a strange habit of driving only Mercedes-Benz cars. Their garages are filled with other luxury cars, but they never drive them.
The people Jin Xianglin brought along are wealthy individuals who are famous in the deep sea area and even nationwide. The purpose of their visit is twofold: one, these people have been long-time friends of Jin Xianglin; if any of them fall ill in the future, it would be more suitable to seek out Xiao Yu than going to a hospital.
Secondly, Xiao Yu's clinic has just opened, and as long as even one person from among those he brought comes for a consultation here, his clinic can remain unopened for half a year.
"Doctor Xiao, congratulations! I've brought some friends to share in the joy!"
Jin Xianglin led these people to the front door of the clinic and said this to Xiao Yu.
"Mr. Jin, you're too kind! These few days have already been a bother for you all! Now I'm making you run another errand!"
Xiao Yu quickly took over the bouquets from both people's hands, then bowed slightly and thanked them.
At this moment, Zhang Dahai, Wei Jun, Lu Jianhong, Fang Yuan, and others had walked over to take the bouquets from behind Jin Xianglin and his wife.
The drivers, meanwhile, holding red cloths in their hands, headed towards the side where an event company that delivered balloons yesterday was waiting. The staff took the red cloths from the drivers' hands and tied them onto large red balloons.
As the big red balloon slowly ascended into the air, the long cloth also gradually unfurled to reveal inscriptions such as "Wancheng International Congratulates Wansheng Hall for a Grand Opening" and "Qingtian Real Estate Group Congratulates Wansheng Hall for a Grand Opening," among others.
"Mr. Jin, the executives, this place is rather small. Would you mind going up to the top floor to rest for a while Shall I call for you later"
Xiao Yu and his group watched as the balloons with banners slowly ascended into the air and then turned around to address Jin Xianglin and company.
Currently, Xiao Yu had no other choice. He hadn't anticipated such a large number of people would come. While he expected Jin Xianglin's couple to visit, he didn't expect them to also bring along some friends like Fang Yuan did. Thus, the preparation was clearly insufficient.
"Haha, Doctor Xiao, no need for such formality; we'll just wait here."
Jin Xianglin chuckled and said this with a light laugh. In front of Xiao Yu, he didn't dare to act high-and-mighty; there was profound reverence in Jin Xianglin's heart towards Xiao Yu, not to mention the connection through Xiao Jianying.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before nodding and led Jin Xianglin and company into the clinic. Duzhiping wouldn't harm them, they would have had an urge to run away."Alright, you can go now! I understand this matter already; don’t worry about it anymore!" Du Zhiping said with his eyes still cl...
