Chapter 206 -206: Looks Like?
The intern police officer had agreed so readily because he saw this was just the young master wanting to blow off some steam—don’t blow things out of proportion, just scare the other party a little, let the young master feel satisfied, and that would be the end of it.
The intern police officer stood his ground and said to Lu Ruisheng, “This is the base, the situation is different now, and moreover, the person reporting this is the nephew of the Base Commander…”
Before the intern officer could finish speaking, Lu Ruisheng directly raised his hand and interrupted him, “Either we go to the police station to clear things up, or I call the police and wait for them to come and sort this out. You’ve entered a private residence without a warrant, which is already against the law.”
The intern officer wasn’t ignorant of the law, but he had wanted to take a gamble. He hadn’t expected the other party to be so legally savvy and could only resort to leveraging authority: “Do you know that this Young Master Lu’s uncle is the Base Chief? The actual Base Chief. Do you think you can afford to offend him?”
Gu Pan said, “Secretary Li Shukang is our cousin, do you think you can afford to offend him?”
Alright, our backing is now solid too, so it’s time to flaunt it.
Of course, there was also their…
The intern officer was flabbergasted. Was this a fight between deities? He had thought too little of it. He should’ve realized this earlier—this was a villa district, the South District, how could it be filled with ordinary people? Why did he rush in for such meager benefits?
Now he regretted it and could only think of a way out. Being a man who knew how to read the signs of the times, he bowed before Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan, saying, “I was temporarily blinded by my ambition to become a regular officer soon. My mother is ill, and I wanted to earn more contribution points to pay for her medical expenses. I was wrong. Please forgive me this once.”
Gu Pan was no Holy Mother. If they had no backing, would the other party have forgiven them? No.
So Gu Pan said, “We abide by the law, let’s go through the proper legal procedures.”
Ruiming sensed something was wrong; if they were taken to the police station, his grand-uncle would know and might kill him. He turned and attempted to flee.
Lu Ruisheng grabbed his collar in a flash: “Let’s go, to the police station to clear things up.”
The intern officer trembled, “I, I really know I was wrong.”
Gu Pan said, “If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?”
Reporting the police was actually just a threat to scare the two men, because Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were clear about one thing: the matter involved the Base Chief. If it escalated to the police station, it could shake the leader’s reputation, potentially worrying the people of the base, which would be unreasonable.
Additionally, they were uncertain if the Base Chief had some powerful backing. Li Shukang was genuinely good to them, and they didn’t want to force him into opposition with the Base Chief, as it might not bode well for Li Shukang.
In their free time, they had also discussed how to best resolve this matter.
Lu Ruisheng told Gu Pan, “I’ll stay home and watch these two. You go find Secretary Li and the Base Commander to get some explanation for this situation.”
Settling things privately could incur a favor from the Base Commander for Li Shukang, which would undoubtedly be beneficial for Li Shukang. They would also be able to state their conditions, which was the countermeasure the two had discussed previously.
Of course, Gu Pan understood her husband’s intentions: “Alright, you keep an eye on them, and I’ll go right now.” Saying this, she left the house, got on her motorcycle, and headed straight for the administrative area.
Upon arriving at Li Shukang’s office, she found him just returning from a meeting and now writing some documents. The eggs they had brought back yesterday had been confirmed to be fertilized eggs, viable for hatching, and he was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.
Seeing Gu Pan arrive in such a hurry, he knew something had happened. He was very concerned and quickly stood asking, “What’s the matter, Panpan?”
Gu Pan replied, “Uncle, don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.” After calming him, she explained the situation with Ruiming in detail to Secretary Li.
After listening, Li Shukang sighed deeply and looked at Gu Pan with admiration, “You two are really sensible, not causing a big scene and coming to me first. This will make the Base Chief owe me a favor.”
Gu Pan scratched her head with a smile, “Uncle, you’re smart, you saw right through our little trick.”
“If this is a little trick, then who possesses great wisdom?” Li Shukang truly liked this young couple.
Li Shukang then said to Gu Pan, “Let’s go find Base Chief Lu and sort this out at your house.”
Gu Pan was momentarily startled upon hearing ‘Base Chief Lu’—did the Base Chief have the last name Lu? Why did that feel a bit odd?
But Li Shukang had already left, so without time to dwell on it, Gu Pan hurriedly followed.
Since both offices were on the same floor, it didn’t take many steps to reach it. The doorplate read—Base Chief’s Office.
There was a name below it, Lu Jianguo.
The door was open, and since the meeting had just ended, Base Chief Lu was also in his office. The items Gu Pan and others had brought back yesterday were being discussed in the morning meeting attended by all leaders, especially after the overnight confirmation that those were Breeding Eggs. Today the entire base was abuzz with excitement as if it were the New Year.
Li Shukang was about to knock when Lu Jianguo looked up, “Secretary Li, I was just about to talk to you about the Breeding Eggs, it’s good that you came.”
After speaking, he looked at Gu Pan beside Li Shukang, appraising her, guessing that this young woman must be the niece-in-law Li Shukang had mentioned.
Gu Pan also observed the Base Chief—this was the familiar face she saw going by that yard when visiting Li Shukang’s house. Indeed, a bit familiar, and he seemed like a man with a straight character. She hadn’t expected him to discipline his nephew so poorly.
After they entered, Li Shukang introduced Gu Pan, “Base Chief Lu, this is my niece-in-law, Gu Pan. There’s a personal matter we need to discuss with you.”
Lu Jianguo, assuming it was about the significant contributions they made to the base and that they had some demands, said, “Then take a seat and take your time.”
Whatever their requests, he was inclined to accommodate them as much as possible. After all, the benefits they brought to the base were tremendous. Though the merits were not his own, contributions made for the base and the future of humanity were undeniably respectable.
Gu Pan then addressed Lu Jianguo, “Base Chief Lu, your nephew is at our house. He has been troubling us more than just once. This time, he brought the police to our place to cause a disturbance. We truly don’t know the right way to handle this, but we also felt that involving the police would reflect poorly on you. So, we could only ask you to come to our house to manage this issue.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Jianguo instinctively asked, “Lu Ruiming?” He had to make sure it was indeed that good-for-nothing nephew of his.
Gu Pan nodded, “Yes, something Ruiming, he told us himself. His uncle is the Base Chief. We’ve encountered them on our way to the base, and it seemed like they were received by base military personnel. He wanted to forcibly buy our self-heating hotpots, but we didn’t sell, and that’s how the grudge started. His mother calls him Ruiming, and they had guns. He told us then that this base belonged to his grand-uncle and that they would make us pay. We didn’t expect to really run into trouble once we got to the base, and since then, he has repeatedly caused us problems.”

She also needed to roughly clarify the situation so as not to give the impression that they were making a mountain out of a molehill just because they had made contributions to the base. But this name, why did it sound so similar to her husband’s? Could there be some relation? She would look for an opportunity to ask more deeply later.
