When reporter Qiao raised this question, Shi Junbao immediately answered it for him.
Of course they are protected; they belong to the food factory.
Their food factory is a company run by the local street administration. They mainly employ educated youth who have returned to the city.
Their warehouse mainly employs veterans.
Since the vandalism started, Song Yan has ordered this area to be transferred to the food factory, which has increased its tax burden.
The food factory had only been open for a few months and had made some oversights in its operations. After discovering this, they proactively apologized to the tax authorities and voluntarily paid the outstanding taxes.
These days, these are all state-owned enterprises, so they should pay their taxes.
Enterprises like food factories are extremely rare, so it's quite unusual for one to come forward and pay back taxes.
The tax authorities not only didn't pursue the matter, but also praised them, saying they were law-abiding citizens.
Xiao Hu also told Du Yu and Pan Lanlan about this. He knew they wouldn't object to him using the food factory's name to pay taxes for his own business, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Reporter Qiao himself will follow Shi Junbao to conduct an in-depth investigation.
With Shi Junbao's full cooperation, reporter Qiao also visited the food factory to see their relevant permits.
How many people are unaware of the difficulties faced by educated youth returning to the city?
Seeing how happy they were at work, Reporter Qiao was also touched.
Reporter Qiao then asked Shi Junbao if he knew the base salary of those thugs.
Shi Junbao admitted that he had also begun investigating Zhao Xiangdong.
Some of them were former reconnaissance soldiers, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to track Zhao Xiangdong and find out his background.
Shi Junbao said with a wry smile, "I did find out something, but I didn't tell everyone."
You must have seen how happy they were just now.
They are content with living a peaceful and stable life. They also believe that society will always treat them fairly.
How could I dare tell them? I was afraid they would be sad. I was also afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it.
I'll be content as long as those people don't come again.
They were once passionate soldiers, protecting their country. Now they're being bullied by thugs. It breaks my heart…
These words are truly heartbreaking. I don't want to pursue their crimes; I just want to be left alone.
But reporter Qiao wasn't one to believe everything he heard. With Shi Junbao's help, they quickly found out where Zhao Xiangdong and his group lived.
The men who were carrying sticks and charging ahead in Comrade Liu's photo are now freely coming and going here.
Reporter Qiao took a few more photos. He had already taken a few snapshots of the veterans laughing and joking together.
The self-defense counterattack is now considered over, as our side has issued a statement saying that we have achieved our expected objectives and our troops have begun to withdraw.
To put it bluntly, our strength completely overwhelms yours, and the joy from that feeling still lingers.
Seeing our soldiers so bravely upholding social justice at this time naturally garnered a lot of attention from the newspapers.
But those who are bullied today were once heroes. Will today's heroes suffer the same fate?
Our society should treat them fairly and with care. Shouldn't those who neglect their duties be punished?
When Reporter Qiao returned home, he wrote furiously. After finishing the article, he went straight to the editor's house.
He showed his editor a report titled "You protected me in the past, but who will protect you today?"
It would be a lie to say the editor wasn't surprised when they saw this report.
If the report is true, there's nothing the editor wouldn't dare to publish.
At the time, reporter Qiao was writing her article while having photos developed.
There are photos to prove it; those thugs are indeed getting away with it!
This report is true and accurate.
Especially the photo of the veteran, a man raising his hand, his hand missing a finger. And his face is beaming with a bright smile.
He had that smile because he didn't know that the thugs who bullied them were already at large.
The newspaper has been finalized and typeset. However, printing hasn't started yet. There's still time!
This report is shocking and heartbreaking.
Justice should be served.
The editor and Joe returned to the newspaper office.
Everyone worked overtime overnight.
...
Director Ge could no longer sit still; he contacted Lao Yang while simultaneously organizing the arrests.
Zhao Xiangdong also saw today's newspaper. Actually, he doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers, but when he went out, two people pointed at him and said that he looked like that thug who beat people up in the newspaper.
He didn't think much of it when he encountered the first group of people. But when he met the second group, he realized something was wrong. He even bought a newspaper. When he looked at it, oh my god!
The fact that he remained silent in the police station shows that Zhao Xiangdong was quite shrewd.
After he returned, he promptly told everyone to find a place to hide.
Others were still skeptical. They'd managed to get out of the police station after three acts of vandalism, so what were they afraid of?
Without saying a word, Zhao Xiangdong took his money and a few pieces of clothing and left.
Some thought Zhao Xiangdong was smart and listened to him, so they ran away without saying anything. Others thought it was nothing and decided to wait and see.
By the time the arresting officers arrived, they were trapped.
Not all of these people live together; some haven't even been notified yet.
It wasn't difficult to catch the rest of the people. Those who were caught were terrified and immediately revealed the whereabouts of the others.
Director Ge ordered an overnight interrogation, which naturally yielded a considerable amount of information. Director Ge felt it was better late than never, but the timing of the interrogation didn't match the time of the incident. He wanted the interrogators to move the recorded dates back a few days.
