Nie Zhenbang's tone, demeanor, and dress, as well as his extraordinary composure, stunned the local folk as soon as he appeared.
In folk wisdom, there is a saying: officials bear the semblance of office. This crude saying holds true. As government civil servants and leading cadres, they naturally develop a certain imposing presence in their duties, known colloquially as officialdom's authority.
As Nie Zhenbang's voice faded, the scene fell silent, utterly quiet. The previously bustling night market instantly calmed down, and all eyes turned to Nie Zhenbang.
Captain Hu, also sizing up Nie Zhenbang, saw a middle-aged man before him, no, to be precise, a man of middle to young age. The aura and pressure emanating from him made one's heart tremble. Even facing a bureau chief, one would not feel this level of imposing presence.
