"We will definitely conduct tests, but before the results are out, we won't allow you to open. We represent the law, we represent the people. If your restaurant fails to meet the standards, you can't open. This is the notification."
After speaking, he handed a notification to Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei took it and looked it over; environmental standards failed, fire safety failed, product quality failed, and so on, with signatures from various units below.
There was the Jingquan District Environmental Protection Bureau, Jingquan District Fire Department, and more, all with official stamps, clearly showing the document was valid.
"I'm not convinced, I disagree with your notification. It claims that everything is not up to standard, but none of you have inspected. Are you just guessing the results?" Ling Zhenfei asked angrily.
The fat man laughed: "It doesn't matter if you disagree. You can go to each unit and apply for a review, but we need three working days to respond."
Ling Zhenfei understood. These people had a very simple goal: to prevent him from opening. They wanted to ensure his restaurant couldn't open. This must be Qin Lan's idea.
Now, things between him and Qin Lan had reached a boiling point. If Ling Zhenfei's restaurant opened successfully, it would be a big loss of face for Qin Lan.
"I'm sorry, but I don't accept your notification. I can even go to court to sue you." Ling Zhenfei said firmly.
The fat man snorted coldly: "Kid, don't be so arrogant. We can take you away for investigation right now, believe it or not. You want to sue us? We are the government authorities. Are you planning to sue the government?"
"Did you see that, everyone watching the live stream? I, Xiao Sa, have lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I understand what power means. This is power, they don't even need a reason to stop you from opening.
They don't even need to find a reason. And these people are so arrogant, don't they realize there are so many media members filming around? I can't stand it anymore.
The forces behind the scenes are shameless, using any means possible. I was originally neutral, but now, I see that these forces behind the scenes are simply worthless, and I don't want to go along with it anymore.
But I'm just a live streamer with no power, so I'm unable to help Ling Zhenfei. It seems today's opening of Xi Shan Restaurant is really in jeopardy.
The dark forces are about to triumph over justice. What should we do next? I can't even think of a way now, just hope that Ling Zhenfei has another plan."
"Close the doors immediately, seal them, and don't allow anyone to move in or out until the issues are resolved."
As he spoke, someone was about to close the doors of Xi Shan Restaurant and put on the seals, but Ling Zhenfei hurriedly stood in front to stop them.
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to obstruct our normal law enforcement? We can arrest you right now."
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Do you have the authority to arrest people?"
The fat man got angry: "How can we not? Come with us now." As he finished speaking, several people came up wanting to grab Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was really angry and even wanted to beat them up, but with so many people around taking photos and videos, he could only hold back.
When the situation was getting critical, several police cars suddenly roared up, with more police cars behind them, a total of more than ten. As soon as the cars stopped, a group of police officers got out.
Everyone around was shocked, not knowing what had happened. The entrance of Xi Shan Restaurant this morning was like a crowded theater, and everyone was a bit dazed, not knowing why the police had come.
Leading the group was someone Ling Zhenfei knew – the deputy director of the Binyang Public Security Bureau, Luo Dingbei. Who could have guessed the deputy director would come personally? This must be serious.
Everyone watched as the police went over and surrounded Ling Zhenfei and the fat man.
"You must be the head of the Jingquan District Environmental Protection Bureau, Du Zhenya?" Luo Dingbei asked the fat man.
"It's the City Bureau officers. May I ask what's going on?" The fat man smiled at Luo Dingbei.
Luo Dingbei's face remained expressionless as he continued speaking: "You are suspected of accepting bribes. The evidence is solid. Arrest him immediately."
Before the fat man could react, two police officers rushed up, pinned him down, and cuffed him.
"No, officers, you must be mistaken. How could I possibly..." the fat man shouted.
"You should be well aware of what you have done. You will be held accountable later."
Luo Dingbei looked at another person and said: "Wu Sanren, head of the Jingquan District Industry and Commerce Bureau, you're suspected of accepting bribes. Please come to the City Bureau for investigation."
The person named by Luo Dingbei didn't have time to react before he was pinned down by police and taken to a police car.
Like this, Luo Dingbei named them one by one. The group that had been shouting at Ling Zhenfei a moment ago, most were named and escorted to police cars.
Luo Dingbei turned to the remaining few and said: "Those people have been taken away. You should know if they were involved in any wrongdoing. If you neglect your duties or abuse your power, accepting bribes, they are your examples to follow."
After speaking, Luo Dingbei glanced at Ling Zhenfei, nodded slightly, and then headed to the police car. After getting in, the police cars sped away with sirens blaring.
They came and went like the wind, taking only a few minutes to remove several major figures in Jingquan District, leaving only a group of small fry.
"Hi everyone, I'm Xiao Sa. Did you see what happened just now? Unbelievable. The police came and took those people away immediately. It seems their crimes are substantial.
Evil did not triumph over justice after all, and I'm very happy about that. What happens next, and whether Ling Zhenfei's restaurant can open, remains to be seen."
The remaining small fry were stunned. They knew why they had come; it was because they were promised money.
Now that the higher-ups were arrested, they feared they might be implicated. They didn't know what to do.
Should they continue to shut down Ling Zhenfei's restaurant, or retrieve the notification and save face? They were extremely embarrassed and at a loss.
While they were still hesitating, a car approached from the distance, very special, an Olympic A6 with a distinctive license plate, indicating it was a city government vehicle.
The arrival of a city government vehicle was surprising. What was its purpose? The media quickly focused on the car.
Everyone spontaneously looked towards the car. It was so special that even without knowing the license plate, it was clear it was no ordinary car.
The car stopped next to Ling Zhenfei's restaurant, and the door opened with two people stepping out.
After getting out, they were also carrying something large, but it was covered, making it hard to see what it was.
