"Hello, hello, I'm Wang Zhi, the captain of the City Traffic Police. We've met before. Here's the thing, is it convenient for you now? If it's convenient, I can send someone to deliver the license plate to you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge knew immediately that He Qing had already spoken with the traffic police team.
For ordinary people, getting a vehicle registered requires running around; for He Qing, it's merely a matter of saying the word, and even the city's traffic police captain has to personally arrange it.
"Captain Wang, I really appreciate it, but there's a bit of a misunderstanding with one of your system's colleagues here. There are quite a few cars blocked here, and I'm afraid your people won't be able to get through."
Hearing this, not only was Wang Zhi on the other end of the line surprised, but so was the long-faced traffic police officer who arrived first.
Wang Zhi quickly asked, "Mr. Chu, where are you now?"
"I'm on Chunxi Road."
"I'm not far from you. How about this? Please wait for me a moment, I'll be there in two minutes."
Chu Ge hung up the phone, looked at the long-faced traffic police officer who had just been shouting and scolding at him, said nothing, and calmly lit a cigarette.
Seeing Chu Ge so composed and recalling the "Captain Wang" he just mentioned, the long-faced officer, who had just joined the traffic police team and had not heard of Chu Ge's reputation, grew increasingly uneasy, his previous arrogance vanished. The round-faced officer who came later wore a wry smile.
If the long-faced officer was still doubtful about who "Captain Wang" referred to, the round-faced officer was one hundred percent sure about it, casting a pitying glance at the long-faced officer. What bad luck for this rookie to provoke Chu Ge of all people?
Halfway through his cigarette, Chu Ge saw a man running over from the outskirts of the crowd, carrying three license plates in his hand.
The man, of course, was none other than Wang Zhi, the city's traffic police captain.
Following Chu Ge's gaze, the people present quickly noticed Wang Zhi's figure, and the long-faced officer felt his head buzzing, completely dumbstruck.
Quickly, Wang Zhi ran to Chu Ge's side, not even bothering to wipe his sweat, surreptitiously surveying the surroundings, then standing up straight with a respectful salute towards Chu Ge, extending his hand proactively as if facing his direct superior.
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry I'm a bit late. May I ask what happened here?" After apologizing, Wang Zhi asked a bit nervously.
Seeing Wang Zhi's attitude towards Chu Ge, the long-faced officer was not just stunned but also felt his legs go a bit weak, swallowing hard, and giving his uncle a furious glance as bitterness engulfed him even more than if he had eaten bitter medicine.
The truck driver was even more frightened, silently cursing his luck, his face alternating between blue and pale.
Even though Chu Ge was a bit irritated by what had happened earlier, as the saying goes, a person in a good mood doesn't hit someone nice, he didn't take it out on Wang Zhi. He nodded slightly and shook hands with Wang Zhi, saying lightly, "Captain Wang, you better ask your colleague about this."
Although Chu Ge seemed nonchalant, Wang Zhi dared not take it lightly. He nodded and quickly turned his gaze to the long-faced officer, who looked as unnatural as he could possibly be. "What's going on?"
Within a moment of turning his head, Wang Zhi seemed to change completely, with the nervous humility on his face replaced by authority and seriousness, his gaze suddenly sharp.
"Ca-ca-captain... I... Well... It... seems like it was just a misunderstanding."
Seeing the long-faced officer stammering and looking awkward, Wang Zhi felt inwardly furious, clearly sensing the officer's guilt. He glared angrily and roared, "Stop beating around the bush! What the hell happened? Speak!"
"Yes, yes, I... I suspected these two were staging an accident, they..."
The long-faced officer flinched, finally speaking fluently as he bowed his head, afraid to look at Wang Zhi, spilling the whole story out like peas from a pod.
As the long-faced officer recounted the incident, Wang Zhi's face grew increasingly grim, the veins on his forehead pulsing. If it weren't for the public setting, he would've loved to smack this kid hard a few times.
Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing staging an accident? What nonsense!
Qin Ruojing is the chairman of Tianjiao Group, and Chu Ge is related to the He siblings. How could this rookie even dare to say such a thing?
The entire traffic police in Lidu, from top to bottom, would rather stay far away from Chu Ge, but this kid dared to provoke him? Unbelievable!
Looking at the long-faced traffic cop, Wang Zhi held back the impulse to smack him and reprimanded with anger-filled eyes, "Mr. Chu, Miss Qin is faking an accident? Is this how you exercise your rights as a traffic cop? Is this your judgment? Wearing this uniform, do you even know what your job is?"
"I, I also think it might be a misunderstanding..."
"Now you think it's a misunderstanding? What were you doing just now? Huh? I'm asking you! What were you up to just now!"
The more Wang Zhi looked at this long-faced traffic cop, the more furious he became. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and reached out, poking the cop's forehead with two fingers, giving him a thorough dressing-down.
The long-faced traffic cop who was just arrogant and domineering with Chu Ge was now as honest as a grandson, lowering his head, too embarrassed to say a word.
After scolding the long-faced traffic cop, Wang Zhi repeatedly apologized to Chu Ge, then looked enviously at the Maserati parked at the roadside and personally helped Chu Ge affix a plate to it.
This time, everyone present looked at Chu Ge as if they were examining a monster – that... that was a luxury car worth millions!
And for putting on a plate, the captain of the city traffic police squad did it personally? What kind of background does this guy have?
The truck driver felt as if the whole world was spinning, his vision dimmed, and his legs gave way completely, almost collapsing onto the ground.
As for the long-faced traffic cop who was just rebuked, he deeply regretted, thinking, brother, if I had known you drive a Maserati, would I dare to provoke such a powerful figure like you?
A wealthy person driving such a luxury car and being accused of faking an accident? This excuse is utterly ridiculous!
After personally putting the plate on Chu Ge's car, Wang Zhi politely said a few words, promptly detained the truck that almost hit Qin Ruojing, and then bid farewell to Chu Ge, instructing his two subordinates who were already there to disperse the crowd and direct traffic.
Before long, order was restored on the road.
Seeing the road back to normalcy and the long-faced cop's embarrassed look, Chu Ge didn't need to think to know that he would face disciplinary action upon returning, and would surely submit a review. He couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter further, saying to Qin Ruojing, "Chairwoman, shall we get in the car?"
Qin Ruojing pursed her lips, though countless words were clamoring in her mind, she didn't know where to start, her expression full of hesitation.
Chu Ge smiled, "Come on, stop messing with me. I'll tell you everything once we get in the car. Otherwise, with your habit of not watching the road while walking, I can't guarantee I'll save you next time."
Hearing this, Qin Ruojing finally nodded silently and got into the Maserati He Qing left for Chu Ge.
"Chairwoman, I'm actually not He Qing's cousin at all."
Closing the car door, it was just a small space with only Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing. Chu Ge spoke with a chuckle.
Showing a clearly skeptical expression, Qin Ruojing said, "Not? Then why would she entrust you with a company?"
Chu Ge shrugged, initially wanting to quip "Maybe because I'm handsome?", but considering Qin Ruojing's current mood, he chose not to joke anymore and adopted a candid posture, beginning to explain.
"I used to be a soldier, and during a mission, I happened to save her. Maybe she found me trustworthy. Besides, that company was actually set up for her brother, saying she wanted to give him some experience. The fact that I became the president probably also has a lot to do with her brother."
Qin Ruojing was startled, frowning as she asked, "He Qing's brother? What's that about?"
"Well, her brother's name is He Junming. You've actually met him, it's the kid whose skateboard I damaged the day I was helping Hong Zude buy medicine. Afterwards, he kept pestering me, wanting me to teach him skateboarding. When I was hospitalized, he was admitted to the room next to mine."
Qin Ruojing thought for a moment. She vaguely remembered He Junming; apart from the incident at Tianjiao Film and Television, she had met him once at the hospital when she went to deliver some bed supplies at night. At that time, He Junming even called her "Sister-in-law Chu."
Thinking of those two words, Qin Ruojing's cheeks blushed slightly, and her eyes darted to Chu Ge, noticing he seemed unaware and was still explaining, which eased her mind a little.
"So, naturally, we got to know each other, and we get along quite well. In simple terms, I was like a tutor accompanying the Crown Prince, more accurately, just playing along as a president. He Qing probably thought I could bond with her brother and wanted me to keep him company. Plus, there are some matters He Junming couldn't handle directly, so they put me in the limelight. It's purely a facade."
This time, Qin Ruojing finally understood the whole story, and while a sense of clarity filled her mind, she also glared at Chu Ge fiercely.
"Chu Ge, don't you think you should have told me these things much earlier? Do you know, when He Qing called you cousin earlier, I really felt like a fool, a fool being toyed with by you, this Eldest Young Master Chu, like a mere pawn in a game."
