The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690: Chapter 686: A Visit from the Higher-ups

Several new figures were in the village committee meeting room. When Chen Beiguo took a closer look, he realized they were all familiar faces.

In fact, the man in the lead was their highest-ranking local official.

Chen Beiguo had never even spoken to such a high-ranking official before.

County Magistrate Tang and Chen Beiguo were what you might call old acquaintances. They weren’t particularly close—just a superior and his subordinate. However, ever since following Xia Qiuming on a visit to the village, he had started paying closer attention to the Qingshan Team.

Compared to others, the two of them could certainly be considered familiar.

"Beiguo, don’t be nervous," County Magistrate Tang said. "We came because we heard about what your village accomplished. It’s truly remarkable. You not only caught human traffickers but also found several of their hideouts, successfully rescuing abducted children and women. The leadership is here today on behalf of the country, specifically to commend our heroes."

Chen Beiguo was stunned that this matter had reached the ears of the higher-ups. He didn’t dare to waste a second. He immediately sent someone to fetch Leng Yuan while he himself picked up a thermos and poured hot water for the visiting officials.

"Please, have some water, Sirs."

He handed them the cups and sat down in a nearby seat.

Across from him sat County Magistrate Tang, with several guards standing behind him.

Soon, Leng Yuan was summoned. He wasn’t particularly surprised when he saw who was in the room.

Zhang Tianming, however, looked surprised. He gave Leng Yuan a second look, and then a smile broke out on his face.

"I was wondering who managed to catch the traffickers and rescue those children and women. So it was you! That explains it, then."

After his initial surprise, Zhang Tianming felt it wasn’t strange at all. They were acquainted well enough to have shared a meal, so he knew a bit about Leng Yuan. Plus, he had heard plenty of stories about him from Lu Yuanbin and knew the man was incredibly capable and a formidable fighter.

Leng Yuan remained as calm as ever. He wasn’t the least bit nervous seeing Zhang Tianming. He had known the man’s identity since they first met, so of course he wasn’t shocked now.

Besides, he had more or less guessed this would happen.
