Chapter 306: Xing Ming Helps Seal the Scar
At this moment, the people around finally saw the true identities of the four people in front of them. It turned out that they were the top scorers of this year's college entrance examination - the Junlin Team! Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"That's what I said. The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Upon closer inspection, it's none other than the Reign Team." Someone shouted in sudden enlightenment.
"That's right. I saw it clearly just now. It was that man with shifty eyes and a wretched face who tried to touch the girl." Another person echoed, his tone full of indignation and dissatisfaction.
"Hush! Keep your voice down. Don't talk nonsense. If you irritate others, what will you do if you get retaliated against?"
The third person warned in a low voice, but his eyes kept glancing over there from time to time, as if he was still frightened by what had just happened.
However, Minister Xing ignored Deputy Minister Leng's words. He walked straight to the waiter of the steak restaurant and said in a serious and firm manner:
"Please ask your store manager to come over. We need to check the surveillance video in the store. Thank you very much for your assistance and cooperation."
At the same time, Minister Xing also showed his work ID so that the other party would know his identity.
There was only one line of words clearly printed on the certificate: "Minister of Justice - Xing Ming".
"Ah? Oh! Okay, please wait a moment." The clerk was obviously startled by the sudden situation. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and then hurriedly ran into the store.
At this time, Leng Xin, who had been standing by and watching coldly, saw that Minister Xing was so determined to intervene in the matter, and couldn't help but frowned and persuaded with difficulty:
"Minister Xing, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this. After all, I have already handled this issue properly before. If you intervene now, wouldn't it seem a bit unnecessary..."
As he spoke, he observed the changes in Minister Xing's expression, trying to figure out the other person's true thoughts.
"Hmm? Deputy Minister Leng is going to control my work? And you didn't even check the surveillance, but you just made a conclusion. Isn't that a bit bad? Let's watch the surveillance and then make a conclusion. This way, we can convince everyone, right?"
The Minister of Justice responded in a calm tone, but there was an unquestionable firmness in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Leng Xin couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stare at Minister Xing closely, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to see into his innermost thoughts.
However, facing Leng Xin's sharp gaze, Minister Xing looked calm and showed no fear at all.
"Does Minister of Justice really want to do this?" Leng Xin asked through gritted teeth, a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.
Minister Xing smiled slightly and said calmly: "Huh? What? Is Deputy Minister Leng going to threaten me too?" Although his words were gentle, they carried an invisible majesty.
Leng Xin secretly complained when he saw this. He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Minister Xing, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so calm.
Helplessly, he could only wave his hands repeatedly and forced a smile, "Haha, Minister Xing really loves to joke around. How dare I do that? Even if you give me ten thousand guts, I still wouldn't dare!"
However, behind this seemingly relaxed smile, Leng Xin's heart was actually turbulent.
He thought to himself, "Do you think I don't want to? I really want to! It would be even better if I could jerk you off, but it's a pity that I can't find any evidence against you. You're lucky this time, but I won't let you off so easily next time!"
Time passed by, and after about five minutes...
Suddenly, a commotion caught everyone's attention. A middle-aged man squeezed out of the panicked crowd, gasping for breath and shouting to them anxiously:
"I'm the owner of this steak restaurant. I was busy handling some business just now. The clerk told me what happened, so I didn't care about anything else and hurried back to the store."
Upon hearing this, Xing Ming stepped forward and introduced himself:
"Hello, I am the Minister of Criminal Affairs of the Ministry of Justice. We need to check the surveillance video now, and I hope you can cooperate."
The store manager nodded repeatedly to show his understanding and support, and led them to the monitoring room.
However, Leng Xin, who was standing aside, did not follow everyone into the monitoring room. He knew very well that this dispute must have been caused by Gao Wan who first provoked the incident.
Otherwise, why would they specially ask me to come and help solve the problem? Thinking of this, Leng Xin couldn't help but feel annoyed:
"This is so abominable! I was thinking I could take this opportunity to teach Feng Hen and his gang a lesson on behalf of my elder brother, but I didn't expect that I might be dragged into trouble now."
At the same time, the store manager quickly sat down in front of the computer, skillfully operating the mouse and keyboard to call up today's surveillance footage. As time passed, the whole incident gradually became clear before everyone's eyes...
"Look! They were the first to attack! And I just pushed his hand away out of instinct!"
Li Zhengyuan stared at the surveillance screen with his eyes fixed. He was extremely excited and his voice unconsciously rose by octaves. He shouted at the top of his lungs as if he had suffered a great injustice.
At this time, Minister Xing's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, he looked straight at Leng Xin beside him, and said slowly:
"Deputy Minister Leng, why don't you come in and take a look for yourself? This scene seems to be very different from your previous conclusion! Do you really need to verify it carefully again?"
Although there was a hint of politeness in his words, the questioning implication was self-evident.
Faced with such a situation, Leng Xin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice to cover up his inner panic, and then responded calmly:
"Uh... maybe I was careless just now and almost blamed this gentleman by mistake. Someone, go and remove the handcuffs from their hands."
When he said this, he tried his best to make his tone sound calm and natural, but beads of sweat were already oozing out of his forehead.
After hearing the order, the police officer who had been standing on standby did not dare to delay. He quickly took out the key, stepped forward quickly, and carefully untied the handcuffs on Feng Hen and Li Zhengyuan's wrists one by one.
With the crisp sound of metal collision, the two finally regained their freedom.
Seeing this, Leng Xin knew very well that the current situation was out of control and completely beyond his ability to control.
So, he made a prompt decision, turned around and walked towards the police car parked not far away, and said:
"Minister Xing, if there is nothing else to take care of, then I will leave first. After all, with you here, there will definitely be no problems. I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly got into the car, started the engine, and drove away, leaving behind only a trail of smoke and dust.
