"For the first time, Zhang Dong from Jiangnan is here."
Xu Li heard the sound, looked away from Chen Ye, and then responded.
Zhang Dong?
Xiao Zhiyuan, Xiao Feng and Xiao Ru were all startled when they heard this name.
Zhang Dong is one of the giants in Jiangnan. He took over Huang Yongqing's position and was in charge of Jiangnan police, court and other departments.
Although Zhang Dong's organizational relationship is in Jiangnan Province, in a sense, he can be regarded as half of Xiao Zhiyuan's subordinates.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Ru are in the same system as Zhang Dong. Because of their work, they are no strangers to Zhang Dong.
"You take him to the reception room in the outer courtyard, and I'll go there after I finish handling the matters here."
Xiao Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and gave instructions.
However--
However, Xu Li did not follow the order and exit the living room. Instead, his eyes switched back and forth between Chen Ye and Xiao Zhiyuan, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Xiao Zhiyuan noticed something strange about his secretary and asked:
"Anything else?"
"First...first time, Zhang Dong asked me to help ask Mr. Chen when he will come over."
Xu Li bit the bullet and spoke again.
"Well……"
Hearing Xu Li's words again, everyone in the Xiao family, headed by Xiao Zhiyuan, were all stunned!
Even Xiao Ziyu is no exception!
Zhang Dong, who is half of Xiao Zhiyuan's subordinates, came to the Xiao family compound and asked Chen Ye for his opinion instead of Xiao Zhiyuan?
This is simply outrageous. Opening the door to outrageousness is so outrageous!
this moment.
They even wondered if Xu Li had remembered it wrong!
Otherwise, how could Zhang Dong do such a ridiculous thing?
Seeing the shocked expressions on Xiao Zhiyuan and others' faces, Xu Li was not surprised.
Because when he received a call from Zhang Dong before, he was even more shocked than Xiao Zhiyuan and others!
Immediately, without waiting for Xiao Zhiyuan to ask, Xu Li took the initiative to explain:
"For the first time, I thought Zhang Dong was wrong at first, but I confirmed it with him again, and it was indeed correct."
After the words fell, Xu Li looked at Chen Ye in awe and confusion.
It felt like asking: What on earth did he do to make Zhang Dong do such a ridiculous thing?
Xiao Zhiyuan and others were also very confused and turned their attention to Chen Ye.
"Is Zhang Dong's brain flooded?"
In confusion, Xiao Feng, the deputy minister of police, spoke with a gloomy expression.
Although he didn't know how Chen Ye dealt with Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong's actions were tantamount to completely offending the Xiao family!
This will seriously affect Zhang Dong's career and even end his political life!
Xiao Zhiyuan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Xu Li, bring Zhang Dong here."
"Yes, first time!"
Xu Li immediately accepted the order and retreated.
Xiao Zhiyuan and others regained their composure after experiencing the initial shock and confusion.
Xiao Zhiyuan is in charge of many departments such as the Police Department and the Judicial Court, and Sun Hongxia is behind him.
In this situation, can Chen Ye save Zhuyeqing just by defeating Zhang Dong?
This is not overestimating one's abilities, and it's even more of a joke!
Chen Ye had a panoramic view of the expressions of Xiao Zhiyuan and others, and also saw Xiao Ziyu's doubts.
But he didn't say anything, he just held Xiao Ziyu's hand and waited for Zhang Dong's arrival.
After a while, Xu Li brought Zhang Dong to the living room.
"First Zhang, Mr. Chen."
Zhang Dong walked into the living room, first said hello to Xiao Zhiyuan, and then turned his attention to Chen Ye.
As for the other members of the Xiao family in the living room, they were all ignored by him!
He came here today entirely because of Chen Ye, and he was destined to offend the Xiao family. He no longer cared about these details and etiquette!
Zhang Dong's performance made Xiao Zhen, the eldest son of Xiao, very angry, and he said coldly:
"Secretary Zhang, Secretary Xu just said that you came to our Xiao family and wanted to ask for instructions from the Chen family boy? We are all curious, which show are you acting in?"
"Shou-Zhang, Minister Xiao, I am here to report my work under the instructions of Chief Liu-Ren. At the same time, Chief-Ren Liu also specially told me to consult Mr. Chen for his opinion before entering the Xiao family compound. .”
Zhang Dong said truthfully.
If Master Liu Ren had not personally instructed him, even if he had ten courages, he would not have done such a thing to offend the Xiao family!
Um?
Hearing the words "Master Liu-Ren", Xiao Zhiyuan and others immediately thought of Liu Zuolin, Zhao Tuzhi's chief secretary.
But Xiao Zhen still asked unwillingly:
"Which Mr. Liu-Ren?"
"Director Liu Zuolin-Ren!"
Zhang Dong announced Liu Zuolin's name, and at the same time looked at Xiao Zhiyuan in embarrassment, as if conveying a message to Xiao Zhiyuan with his eyes:
Shouzhang, it’s not that I’m ignorant and deliberately offend you and the Xiao family, I’m just following orders and have no choice but to do so!
Xiao Zhiyuan understood the meaning in Zhang Dong's eyes and asked:
"What did Master Liu-Ren ask you to report?"
"The first one is about the case of Zhu Yeqing, chairman of Jiangnan Qinglong Group!"
Zhang Dong explained his intention.
As his words fell, the expressions of Xiao Zhiyuan and others changed instantly!
They turned their attention to Chen Ye again, with unconcealable shock in their eyes!
Just now, Chen Ye said in public that Zhu Yeqing was not guilty.
At that moment, everyone in the Xiao family thought it was a big joke and even ridiculed Chen Ye!
now.
Zhang Dong was instructed by Liu Zuolin to report the case, and he specifically asked Chen Ye for instructions. They could all think of what this meant with their toes - Zhang Dong was here to verify Chen Ye's words!
As if to confirm everyone's judgment, Zhang Dong continued without waiting for Xiao Zhiyuan to ask:
"First, after investigation and verification by the Jiangnan Police Department, Zhu Yeqing did not participate in the affairs of the Qinglong Group before Zhu Jian was imprisoned. After Zhu Jian was imprisoned, Zhu Yeqing only took over the legal business of the Qinglong Group. All the illegal business was done by Zhu Jian's subordinates. And all kinds of evidence show that Zhuyeqing did act in self-defense in that kidnapping case and has just been released."
After saying this, Zhang Dong quickly looked at Chen Ye.
Zhuyeqing's matter was handled personally after he received Liu Zuolin's call.
His words seemed to be reported to Xiao Zhiyuan, but in fact he was speaking to Chen Ye, wanting to see Chen Ye's reaction.
Because, Liu Zuolin specially warned on the phone that today's affairs must be done beautifully!
And there is only one criterion for doing things beautifully—to satisfy Chen Ye!
However, Zhang Dong found that Chen Ye's expression was as calm as water, as if he didn't care at all.
The elders of the Xiao family, headed by Xiao Zhiyuan, and Xiao Zhijie all had livid faces. It felt like they had been slapped by Chen Ye, and their faces were swollen!
At the same time, a flash of surprise flashed between Xiao Ziyu's eyebrows.
If what Chen Ye said before only made Xiao Ziyu think that Chen Ye would make a comeback, then at this moment, she was convinced of it.
Depressed and aggrieved, Xiao Zhiyuan and others once again turned their attention to Chen Ye, and their hearts were filled with the same doubt:
How did he do all this?
"Just now, I said that Zhuyeqing was innocent, but you didn't believe it. Now, do you believe it?!"
Chen Ye's eyes swept over the faces of Xiao Zhiyuan and others in turn, as if adding salt to their wounds.
"Xu Li, see off the guests!"
Facing Chen Ye's humiliation, even though Xiao Zhiyuan was in a high position and had a strong heart, he was so angry that he trembled all over, and immediately spoke in a cold voice, asking Xu Li to take Chen Ye out of here.
Because Chen Ye solved the problem from the source, which means that the Xiao family's drama tonight was ruined!
Without the bargaining chip of Zhuyeqing, it would be impossible for Chen Ye to draw a clear line with Xiao Ziyu in front of them, let alone apologize to the Xiao family and Sun Hongxia!
"Yes, first time!"
Xu Li immediately accepted the order and then made a gesture of invitation to Chen Ye.
"Master Chen, please..."
"Don't worry, tonight's show has just begun."
Chen Ye interrupted Xu Li and looked at Xiao Zhiyuan.
Xiao Zhiyuan's face was as dark as honeycomb coal and he asked coldly:
"Boy Chen, what do you mean?"
"I said, I came here tonight to do two things, and this was just the first thing."
Chen Ye sneered.
Um?
Chen Ye's words rang in their ears, and everyone in the Xiao family headed by Xiao Zhiyuan was stunned again!
They thought that Chen Ye's acquittal of Zhu Yeqing was to let them experience the willfulness of power.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all!
After being shocked, Xiao Zhiyuan asked subconsciously:
"What else do you want to do?!"
"With so many viewers watching tonight's show, it must be more exciting!"
Chen Ye smiled jokingly, then took out his mobile phone in front of everyone and made a call.
