After walking a considerable distance, Li Qingfeng finally stopped in a secluded corner of the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition.
Seeing the situation before her, Duanmu Yulan finally felt relieved. She patted her chest and took deep breaths.
She spoke directly, "You scared me to death. Did you see that? In that situation just now, I almost died!"
"He actually got the gun in his hand..."
Even at this point, Duanmu Yulan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
In fact, it wasn't surprising that she was scared. The situation just now had truly terrified her. How could it have ended up like this?
At some point, that fellow had managed to sneak away with the gun and had been pointing it at the two of them.
It was a stroke of luck that Ji Fenglin that fellow was foolish enough not to notice, otherwise, neither of them would have been able to escape.
Li Qingfeng couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had managed to escape. It seemed that the goon hadn't intended to keep them there.
"What should we do next?"
Duanmu Yulan asked softly, clearly regarding Li Qingfeng as her pillar of support.
"Do I need to tell you that? It's a simple matter. Go tell your father what happened, that you were just kidnapped, and call the police!"
"What do I need to call the police for?"
Duanmu Yulan, as if missing the point, immediately retorted.
Indeed, seeing this, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but nod in helplessness.
"What should we do next? You're asking me what to do? Didn't I tell you? I told you to call the police. You're a police officer, a traffic cop, but you're still a police officer, aren't you?"
Li Qingfeng didn't know what to say, seeing her like this. He suddenly blurted out a string of words that completely stunned Duanmu Yulan.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Just as they were about to make a call, a burst of gunshots suddenly erupted around them, bang bang bang bang bang.
"Oh no, oh no, something big has happened!"
Hearing the gunshots, Li Qingfeng immediately understood that something major had occurred.
"Quick, let's go back and see what happened!"
He directly grabbed Duanmu Yulan and they ran back, completely forgetting how difficult it had been to escape just moments ago.
As expected, when they returned to the place they had just escaped from, Ji Fenglin was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"My heavens!"
Duanmu Yulan exclaimed in shock, covering her mouth.
"It's over!"
"We're screwed. These people seem to want to use us as scapegoats!"
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng immediately understood their intention.
It was simple: why did they see Ji Fenglin lying in a pool of blood the moment they arrived? And from the looks of it, it seemed to be just the three of them.
Although they didn't have guns, the most important thing was that there were no surveillance cameras here. And the only camera that was there had captured all three of them!
It was chilling to think about, chilling to the bone!
Li Qingfeng finally understood what was going on and turned to look at Duanmu Yulan beside him.
He asked her directly, "Does your family have any other identity?"
He had finally figured it out. No wonder things had become so strange since they encountered them.
Logically, even if they had encountered Ji Fenglin, they wouldn't have fought to the death in this place.
But that fellow named Wen Qiang, who was clearly acting suspiciously!
He was from the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition, and the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition was a subsidiary company under Ji Guangyuan.
Never mind, Li Qingfeng decided not to dwell on these thoughts anymore, as they weren't that important.
In fact, this was indeed the case. At this moment, Secretary Fang Cheng had already arrived with Mayor Duanmu Yulei and a group of people from the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition.
Upon arrival, they immediately saw Duanmu Yulan.
Duanmu Yulei was startled and immediately exclaimed, "My daughter! Why are you here? You scared me to death! Are you alright?"
Seeing her father's worried expression, Duanmu Yulan shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm fine. It's mainly this person next to me. If you don't help him, he'll die!"
Hearing her words, everyone finally noticed Ji Fenglin, who had been lying on the ground for a long time.
Secretary Fang Cheng was surprised to see this and exclaimed, "It's this guy? What is he doing here?"
"Xiao Fang, do you know him?"
Hearing Secretary Fang Cheng's words, Duanmu Yulei asked.
Hearing the mayor's question, Secretary Fang Cheng straightened his posture and replied, "It's like this, Mayor. We have a major entrepreneur in our city, right? That's Ji Guangyuan, the owner of the 'Golden Bathtub'. This guy, Ji Fenglin, is his son!"
"Oh, I see!"
Hearing his explanation, Duanmu Yulei nodded, finally understanding.
At this point, the people from the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition took the initiative to speak up.
"It's like this, Mayor. Our Dongfeng Technology Exhibition's largest shareholder is General Manager Ji Guangyuan, so it's normal for the young master to be here!"
Looking at the situation, Duanmu Yulei nodded, finally understanding everything.
"Oh no, Mayor, this guy seems to be in critical condition!"
At this moment, Secretary Fang Cheng suddenly cried out. Ji Fenglin, who had been shot several times, was breathing weakly.
"Quick, save him! It would be quite troublesome if he dies here!"
Seeing this, Duanmu Yulei quickly said, as there were many media personnel present today, and some were already rushing over frantically.
He quickly said to Secretary Fang Cheng beside him, "Try to intercept those news media and prevent them from spreading rumors!"
"Don't worry, Mayor! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
Hearing his words, Secretary Fang Cheng promised him.
"I'm relieved to hear that. Don't mess this up, or the whole city will be abuzz with this news tomorrow!"
Duanmu Yulei said very seriously, and at the same time, he cast his gaze at the people around him.
Seeing his gaze, everyone around deliberately avoided his eyes.
After all, as the mayor, his imposing demeanor was overwhelming.
"Don't... don't worry, Mayor, we won't say anything out of line!"
"It's good that you won't say anything out of line. I'm keeping an eye on you all. If the news of today gets out, you know what will happen!"
Duanmu Yulei's tone became somewhat stern. After all, a serious incident had occurred during his inspection today.
This was a shooting incident!
What was going on? A shooting incident had suddenly occurred, wasn't that indicative of poor public security in the city under his governance?
After all, the news media didn't know the mayor was here. If they managed to capture photos of him here.
Then tomorrow's trending topics would likely be dominated by this incident.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Yulei immediately turned to leave.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Secretary Fang Cheng, "Xiao Fang, you must strictly seal off the news. Don't let the media find out about what happened here, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle!"
"Don't worry, I won't let a single piece of information leak out!"
Fang Cheng, being an experienced hand, readily agreed.
Seeing this, Duanmu Yulei finally felt much more relieved. He turned his gaze to Li Qingfeng beside him.
Looking at the young man, he thought for a moment and then directly asked, "Kid, what are your thoughts after knowing I'm the mayor?"
He glanced at Duanmu Yulan beside him. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Qingfeng in front of him was likely someone his daughter was very interested in.
After all, Duanmu Yulan had carried the burden of being the mayor's daughter since childhood, and no young man dared to play with her.
Even if they did, their intentions were ulterior. But the fellow in front of him had no idea of her existence!
Yet, just on the first day of knowing each other, something like this had happened, leading him to meet her father. He feared his daughter's happiness would be dashed again.
For a moment, Duanmu Yulei, who had weathered many storms, felt a little nervous!
Li Qingfeng, however, had no particular reaction to this. He simply shook his head and said, "Ah, you're the mayor?"
"I always thought you were an ordinary person. I didn't expect you to have such a distinguished identity. However, it seems you are not only a good mayor but also a good father!"
Li Qingfeng's words were sincere. He knew quite a bit about Duanmu Yulei.
He was a good mayor!
After all, under his leadership, the city had developed very well recently.
And from what he had seen and heard today, he was also a good father, as he deeply cared for his daughter, Duanmu Yulan.
Looking at the man before him, Li Qingfeng offered his highest praise.
Similarly, Duanmu Yulei was very satisfied with Li Qingfeng's words. He looked at the young man as if he were considering him as a potential son-in-law. If people didn't know, they might even think that the mayor's daughter, Duanmu Yulan, was hard to marry off.
