Reborn as a Noble's Son

A group of armed soldiers charged into this high-end place. Completely disregarding any image of brotherhood. The first sentence out of their mouth was to ask who Luo Pingan was.

This sentence immediately made the whole situation go silent. At this moment, Wei Wenhai was also taken aback, then burst into laughter, saying, “Luo Pingan, who doesn’t know that you’re a former construction engineering division commander. If you were an official in the administration, I might even defer to you. However, now you’re just a self-employed individual, at most a slightly bigger one. You even dare to leverage your connections to mobilize the army. It seems that you don’t know what the word ‘death’ means.”

Speaking, Wei Wenhai addressed Captain Liu next to him, “Old Liu, immediately contact reinforcements, tell them that someone here is misusing the army and we need immediate suppression.”

This kid even uses the word suppression. It’s ridiculous that he’s suggesting the police suppress the military. What logic. Luo Pingan chuckled, everyone said that Wei Wenhai was unlearned. Now it all made sense. The national army, was it something one could mobilize? Not to mention he had already retired, and had no connection with the military. Even if he was still in the military, only the engineering troops under his command could be moved. It was absolutely impossible to mobilize any other troops.

At the same time, Luo Pingan also gained insight into the power and tactics of the Nie family. The old leader was giving him face right now. Instead of looking for the direct descendants of the Nie family, they immediately came looking for him. To outsiders, this would raise a speculation. His relationship with the military was not shallow and today’s matter would soon spread throughout Nanhai. In the future, whether it be in the Nanhai official circle or business world, people would have to be careful around him.

Immediately after, Luo Pingan stepped forward and said, “I am Luo Pingan. I was dining with this younger brother when we were harassed by these people. These people spoke rudely. My younger brother stepped in only then. Now, these people want to take my younger brother away.”

Luo Pingan understood very clearly that when these soldiers arrived, the local military leaders must have instructed them. As expected, after listening to him, the complexion of the army officer leading the team changed. Before they arrived, the political commissar of the military region had reminded them a thousand times that the safety of the young man accompanying Luo Pingan had to be ensured.

The officer glanced at Nie Zhenbang and immediately saluted, “Yuezhou Military Area, the 79th Tiger Camp commander, Han Jianguo reports. Awaiting your instructive orders, sir.”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang glanced at Luo Pingan beside him, then said, “These people, perverting the course of justice and colluding with gangsters.

Take them all away.”

With Nie Zhenbang’s words falling, a group of vigilant soldiers pulled the triggers of their weapons. This scene shocked the spectators in the restaurant.

Who was this person? He was so audacious.

At this moment, Guo Ming felt a sense of great respect. The young people next to Guo Ming were also stunned, whispering in Guo Ming’s ear, “Young Master Guo, who is this friend of yours? He’s so bold.”

Guo Ming just sneered without responding. If they ever went to Jingcheng, then they would know where they stood.

At this time, Wei Wenhai also froze. Originally, he thought it was just an easy target. However, he didn’t expect the army to be mobilized, especially the Tiger

Battalion of the 79th Army. This was the direct reconnaissance camp of the 79th Army. As a local of Nanhai, Wei Wenhai knew this bit of common knowledge.

At this moment, Captain Liu was also taken aback, but upon seeing that the military was about to act, if he didn’t speak now, he wouldn’t even have a chance later on. Immediately, Captain Liu stepped forward, took out his police credentials and said, “Comrade, I am Liu Shunan, the head of the public security team of the Port Area Police Station. Is there some misunderstanding between us?”

“Misunderstanding? Ha, there’s no misunderstanding!” The officer’s gaze swept over Captain Liu and the others. Immediately, he waved his hand, “Disarm them and take them all away. If they resist, they are to be charged with treason.”

The officer was also a smart character. When he received the orders from the political commissar, one sentence from the commissar was still fresh in his memory. Comrade Shao Xiang, the head of the military region is paying great attention to this. You must ensure the safety of important personages.

The officer understood very clearly that as a field army, they were out of the jurisdiction of the Nanhai Military Region. The head of the military region, then, could only possibly refer to the head of Yuezhou Military Region. This was a leadership position in a large military region. If he performed well, his future would be worry-free.

At this point, if these people dared to use a crackdown to frame him, he would dare to charge them with treason. After all, if something happened, someone would definitely intervene.

Captain Liu was also stunned. Treason? Was it really necessary? Following the officer’s orders, the soldiers swarmed forward and seized these people. Only then did the officer salute and say, “Commander, we have orders from our political commissar. Please come with us to the military guest house for rest.”

This was also a protection measure. At this point, Nie Zhenbang had made an enemy of Wei Wenhai. Staying in Nanhai was not safe, so the only option was to go to the military. They would wait until higher-ranking officials came calling.

As everyone left, the owner of the Revolving Restaurant hurried to the phone. Wei Wenhai had been arrested in his restaurant. Regardless, he had to report to Wei Wenhai.

After the restaurant owner finished the call, Guo Ming stepped forward and said: “Mr. Zheng, I think you’d better tell Deputy Secretary Li directly about this. Simply reporting to Wei Wenhai won’t get us anywhere. May I borrow your phone? I need to report this to my father.”

The words of Guo Ming shocked the restaurant owner, especially considering how submissive Guo Ming had been in front of that young man. Guo Ming was even reporting to Deputy Governor Guo. The Deputy Governor was a member of the Yuedong Provincial Committee and the standing deputy governor. He was a likely candidate for governor and carried significant influence in Yuedong Province.

For a moment, the entire Nanhai and the high-ranking officials of Yuedong Province were shocked. As a special economic zone, everything in Nanhai was under the spotlight. Nanhai held a status equivalent to a vice-ministerial level. A district was equivalent to a vice-department level unit. An entire district’s public security bureau and dozens of its police officers had been disarmed and taken by the military.

Upon receiving this news, Wei Wenhai hit the table and stood up. But after a while, he sat down again and instructed his secretary, “Prepare the car; we’re going to the 79th Army Station.”

Nanhai Municipal Committee Compound

At the home of Li Qianjin, the standing committee member of Yuedong Provincial Committee and Secretary of Nanhai Municipal Committee.

As Li’s secretary finished his report about the event at the Revolving Restaurant, Li Qianjin straightened up saying, “The 9th Army? Cheng Mazi’s forces had been dispatched? Interesting… It seems that Wei Wenhai is in trouble.”

“Secretary Li, do you think we should…?” the secretary began to suggest.

Secretary Li waved his hand and shook his head, “No, let’s leave this matter to

Vice Secretary Li. Let’s just sit back and watch the spectacle. It’s unusual for Cheng Mazi to get involved; it seems that the visiting young man must be from the Nie family.”

Secretary Li, also from a prestigious family in Jingcheng, was quite comparable to the Nie family in terms of background. His family was also quite influential in the central government.

The Li family, known as reformists and trusted allies of the Yang family, were two key players around the country’s leader. Nanhai, as a vanguard of reform and opening up, needed reliable people to oversee it. Being the heir of the Li family, Secretary Li was naturally assigned here.

Meanwhile, after receiving a phone call from Guo Ming, the entire Yuedong province started to get in motion.

Xue Ligong, the standing committee member of the Yuedong Provincial Committee, the Secretary of the Provincial Committee, as well as the chief political commissar of the Yuedong Provincial Military Region, was regarded as the most important cornerstone of Yuedong. Despite the fact that Xue participated in the Anti-Japanese War when he was just a child soldier, his credentials were undeniable. After being placed in Yuedong post-war and quickly moving up the ranks, Xue’s authority in Yuedong was beyond question.

At this moment, it was already past nine in the evening. According to Xue’s routine, he would have been in bed by now. Just then, the phone beside his bed rang. As soon as Xue picked up, Vice Secretary Chu Zheng Nan’s voice came from the other side: “Secretary Xue, something has happened in Nanhai..”
