Yu Zihan was in great pain. She didn't know when Cui Dawei would come to take them away. But she thought, even if it cost her life, she would not leave this room.
On the other side, the police chief received an anonymous call, saying that the person they were looking for was detained in a police station in a certain jurisdiction.
The Public Security Bureau Chief was very smart. When he heard the news and combined it with Mayor Li's phone call which was obviously intended to gather information, he seemed to understand something.
After this incident, he was in a dilemma. Both sides were people he couldn't afford to offend. How could he avoid offending both? This problem was too difficult. He carefully recalled Mayor Li's words. From his tone, there was no intention of releasing the person. In other words, he didn't want him to be found.
The mayor's demand was very tough and it was obvious that the person must be found.
"Finding someone isn't a feat anymore; it's a hot potato." He paced anxiously, sweat drenching his shirt. He knew the mayor and deputy mayor well; they had long been at odds. Throwing this century-old dilemma on himself was a real headache.
Being smart, he figured out a way to give the credit for finding the person to someone else.
He called the director of the Urban Management Bureau.
"Old Wang, I suddenly have an idea. Since the person has gone missing from your place, you should investigate the vehicles that help those small vendors transport their goods. Maybe you can find out something." Director Wang was surprised to hear what Director Liu said.
"Since you know where to look for clues, and you have enough manpower and resources, why don't you go and check it out?" Both of them were smart and understood the situation immediately.
"It's not that I don't want to investigate, but it's more appropriate for you to take the credit for this matter," said Director Liu.
"Are you so kind, kid? I'm afraid there is something going on. Let me tell you, I won't take the scapegoat." Lao Wang sneered in his heart.
"The person was lost at your place, so you can't get away with it no matter what. I told you the direction with kindness, and it's up to you whether to do it or not. Also, so many freight trucks have appeared on your site in the past few months. I don't believe you don't know what they did. Do you think you can get rid of responsibility for this?" The last few words made Lao Wang sweat on his forehead.
"Don't blame me, you are not free from responsibility either." Lao Wang has compromised, but he did not forget to stab Lao Liu in the heart.
"I know better than you. In short, we are all unlucky this time. But at least it is better to take less responsibility than anything else." Old Liu thought of the culprit and cursed in his heart.
"I know what you mean. I think we'll get results soon." Lao Wang said confidently.
"It's better to hurry up and avoid unnecessary complications. If anything goes wrong again, we will be even more guilty." Lao Liu reminded Lao Wang before hanging up the phone.
At five o'clock in the morning, Yue Feng, who was waiting by the phone, received a call from Lao Wang.
"Mayor, the person has been found. The specific reason has not been found out yet, but it is confirmed that the person is detained in a police station in a certain jurisdiction and has been detained for forty-eight hours." In fact, Lao Wang understands the reason better than anyone else. He just can't say it out loud now. Now, no one knows which direction things will develop. All they are doing is trying their best to wash off the dust on themselves.
"Okay, I understand." Yue Feng knew that there must be something going on, but the most important thing now was to get the person out, and who would be responsible would be discussed later.
Yue Feng thought for a moment. Instead of calling the Public Security Bureau Chief, he called his secretary directly and asked him to take a few people and go directly to the police station.
The secretary acted quickly, and in less than half an hour they showed up at the police station with their men.
At that moment, the director, Luo Zhenhai, and Cui Dawei had just returned to the station. Cui Dawei was still trying to figure out how to get rid of Luo Zhenhai and get him out. But Luo Zhenhai was following him around like a tail, leaving him no chance to act. He was like an ant on a hot pan.
"Mayor, what are you doing?" The director suddenly felt uneasy when he saw the mayor's scene.
"The person is detained here, and you, the director, are actually looking for him outside? Are you really unaware of the situation or do you want to hide something?" Yue Feng asked dissatisfiedly.
"What? He's here with us? How come I didn't know?" The director looked at Luo Zhenhai. Luo Zhenhai said, "I don't know about this either." He then looked at Cui Dawei.
Cui Dawei was sweating profusely at this time. Not only did he fail to complete the task assigned by his brother-in-law, but he was also caught in the act by the mayor. He felt that he was really finished this time, but he still argued.
"I caught the people. They broke the law. Of course I have reason to arrest them." After giving up, he became extremely calm.
As they were talking they heard a lot of noise.
Those present turned around and saw a dozen reporters rushing in with cameras and microphones.
Yue Feng's brow furrowed, and the director and Luo Zhenhai's expressions were also grim. They didn't even know what was going on inside, and the reporters were already here. This was going to be difficult.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qiming, the Public Security Bureau Chief and several others rushed to the scene.
"Mayor Yue, I just heard that you were looking for someone. Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to? It's inappropriate for you to make such a big fuss, right? After all, this is your private matter. It will have a bad impact if you do this?" When Yue Feng saw Li Qiming appear, he guessed that such a fuss must have been caused by him.
Yue Feng didn't reply directly. He looked at his old friend and felt that he had been too kind before. If he wanted to admit defeat in this matter, he could dream on.
He is now increasingly confused about this old friend. They had such a good relationship before, and he was such a person with upright character and values. How could he have changed beyond recognition in just over a decade?
He had felt sorry for his change before, and had given him some leeway in dealing with some things. But looking at the situation today, it was obvious that the other party wanted to kill him, so why should he still care about that pitiful friendship?
"What's the matter, Mayor Yue? Does he have something to hide? We are all here today, so why don't we try something new? Let's try the case in public. I think this is the only way to reflect our principles of fairness, justice and openness." Li Qiming thought to himself, it is not difficult for his brother-in-law to accuse people of any crime. They are just a few students. If he hammers them to death in such a scene, who will be embarrassed?
He was going to embarrass Yue Feng in front of the public today. He wanted to destroy his good image. He had arranged not only reporters but also many ordinary people.
