"Yes, yes, I just called again. The other party said that they would entrust someone else to handle it. The car has been seized now." Li Lin nodded repeatedly.
Luo Wenbao didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just then, Han Shunyi came in again, and he brought a middle-aged man with him, and his expression was a little weird.
"Mayor Luo, you're here too?"
The middle-aged man who came in greeted everyone as soon as he saw them, but his smile was somewhat meaningful, as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
This man is Luo Yikun, the secretary of the Jiangnan Municipal Party Committee. He has a mature and steady personality. He also works in a team with Luo Wenbao, but they have never gotten along well because the latter belongs to the younger generation, is relatively younger, and naturally has more radical ideas. The two of them are not in harmony with each other, and have argued with each other many times at the Standing Committee meetings.
Luo Wenbao frowned and asked, "Why is Secretary Luo here? Are you the client of the perpetrator?"
“It’s true.”
Luo Yikun smiled, sat down and said, "What a coincidence, I actually met Mayor Luo here."
Tang Xiaobao looked at Sun Yan, who whispered a few words in his ear, and he immediately understood everything.
He looked at Luo Yikun and had a rough idea in his mind.
The driver who caused the accident was able to invite such a great god to come and deal with the matter. He really has some power. The municipal party secretary came to act as a peacemaker and became the committee's dragnet. It feels a bit strange.
Luo Yikun has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he shouldn't have been involved in such matters, but he came anyway. This means that the person behind the perpetrator is either in a higher position than him, or is a close relative of his. In connection with what Captain Li Lin just said, the car is from Tianhai City, which basically rules out the possibility that he is a close relative of Luo Yikun, and the final truth is about to be revealed.
Tang Xiaobao sneered in his heart.
Since Secretary Luo is his father-in-law's opponent and insists on getting involved, he must vent his father-in-law's anger today no matter what.
But for the time being, he didn't say anything and just observed for a while.
As soon as Luo Yikun arrived, Li Lin and his two men felt embarrassed.
Damn, it’s a fight between gods, and he is caught in the middle.
Thinking about what he had said to Luo Wenbao earlier, he regretted it now. If he had known Luo Yikun was coming, he would definitely not have tried to curry favor with Luo Wenbao so early. But then he thought again, although Luo Yikun was the municipal party secretary, Luo Wenbao also had a good son-in-law. If the two sides really fought, Luo Yikun might not win.
Let's wait and see.
Li Lin began to wonder how he could survive in the cracks without offending either side.
Outside, he is the captain of the traffic police team. In this society, cars have become a standard feature of every family, so no matter how high your official position is, you will always have to deal with the traffic police team, unless you never violate traffic rules in your life, which is actually almost impossible.
The captain of the traffic police team is a well-known figure in society. Many people in official circles and business circles are on good terms with him. However, in front of the top two leaders of the municipal party committee, he is nothing.
To put it bluntly, according to the above sentence, the position of team leader can belong to him or someone else.
Luo Wenbao took a breath and asked, "Secretary Luo, the injured person is my relative. I happened to be visiting him, so I was entrusted by the family to handle this dispute. I'm curious, why did you come here?"
Luo Yikun took the tea from Han Shunyi, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Oh, the person who hit him was the son of a friend of mine. My friend called from Tianhai and asked me, as an elder, to handle it. It's that simple."
"Oh, your friend is quite influential. He can actually invite you." Luo Wenbao said sarcastically.
Luo Yikun didn't blush at all, and said with a smile: "I really don't dare to refuse. My friend's surname is Chen. He is in Tianhai. You should know who he is. He is our old superior. He was just transferred there. You also received his support."
Luo Wenbao's expression changed, and he frowned, "You mean, he's Mr. Chen's son? Chen Biao?"
"Exactly. So, Mayor Luo, why don't we just settle this privately? He left 100,000 yuan, didn't he? I heard your relative's leg has been healed. Mr. Chen wants this 100,000 yuan to be used as compensation for the injured person's lost wages. What do you think?"
Luo Yikun had a smug look on his face, as if he had already defeated Luo Wenbao.
Elder Chen, the current top official in Tianhai City, was also the former Party Secretary of Jiangnan City. His family rose to prominence in Tianhai City in the 1980s, and today boasts immense power and connections far beyond the reach of the four Jiangnan families. It was precisely for this reason that he was transferred back to Jiangnan City. His next move, apparently, would be to Yanjing, and this was merely a transition. Elder Chen was a seasoned official, a seasoned official. He had previously treated Luo Yikun and Luo Wenbao with apparent goodwill, but in reality, he held neither of them in high regard.
He has the capital to do so.
The two of them also knew it well.
When Luo Yikun received a call from his old superior this time, he immediately agreed without daring to complain. He ran over happily. When he heard that Luo Wenbao was also there on the way, he was even more delighted.
The two of them usually don't get along and neither can do anything to the other. This is a rare opportunity to suppress Luo Wenbao, so he is naturally very proud.
Luo Wenbao felt aggrieved and looked at Sun Yan while biting his lip.
Sun Yan also felt a little aggrieved.
"What do you think?" Luo Wenbao looked at Tang Xiaobao helplessly.
Seeing the helplessness and frustration in his eyes, Tang Xiaobao got angry for no reason.
If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. This has been the saying since ancient times, not to mention that we now live in a society ruled by law.
He also knew Mr. Chen, but so what?
If he gets mad, he won't give face to anyone.
Isn't the purpose of life to be happy?
"You don't have to pay. I can pay for this." Tang Xiaobao looked at Luo Yikun with a gloomy expression and said, "However, I hope the perpetrator can come here immediately to apologize to the injured. As for how you deal with it later, I can also turn a blind eye."
Luo Yikun was stunned and looked at Tang Xiaobao with a frown.
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
He was a little angry.
I thought that with Mr. Chen as my signboard, everything would go smoothly.
Look, Luo Wenbao is about to give in.
But suddenly a young man appeared, so stubborn that he immediately became very rude in his words.
"He's also a relative of the injured, so he naturally has the right to speak." Luo Wenbao said dissatisfiedly, "Secretary Luo, he's a legal citizen, right? He doesn't have the right to speak? Who deprived him of it?"
Luo Yikun laughed and said, "Mayor Luo, how about I call Mr. Chen and you make your request to him in person?"
Luo Wenbao couldn't help but say, "I don't think his request is excessive. If he comes to apologize, we can waive the money. He ran a red light, exceeded the speed limit, and hit someone, and he didn't even show up. Isn't that a bit too much?"
