"Father, yes, I understand."
After finishing speaking with the police chief, Qu Tu took the phone, wanting to hear what his father had to tell him. He heard his father tell him to wait at the police station, and then his father hung up the phone.
What are you doing here?
Looking at Qu Tu and the other person still sitting in the chairs, Lao He asked Qu Tu with some uncertainty.
“My father just told me that he’s calling the provincial department leaders right now, and it won’t be long before it’s resolved. We won’t have to run back and forth; we can just wait here.”
On the other side, Sun Yue, who was in a hurry to leave the police station, drove to Orange Plaza.
"Hey, I've arrived. Where are you guys?"
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Sun Yue dialed the number of Meng, the clan chief of the inspection team, and anxiously asked on the other end of the line.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Team Leader Meng, who was working upstairs, heard that Sun Yue had arrived and quickly went to the window. He saw Sun Yue looking around downstairs and asked her a question.
"I have something urgent to tell you. Where are you right now?"
Anxious, Sun Yue looked around and asked Team Leader Meng anxiously.
"Go forward, someone will guide you up there."
"What's wrong? What's the matter that's so urgent?"
Team Leader Meng, who was in the office, looked up and saw Sun Yue come in. He quickly grabbed a bottle of water and came over to ask her what was wrong.
"Today we... the Eastern Group is taking people away. If they are taken away, all our efforts will be in vain, and the only clue that could break through will be cut off."
After taking a sip of water, Sun Yue hurriedly explained the cause of the matter to Team Leader Meng.
"Okay, I'll call your bureau chief right now and report this to the higher-ups, but it will take some time. You need to go back and stall them. No matter who comes, don't let them take anyone away until we get the notification."
After listening to Sun Yue's words, Team Leader Meng also felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and quickly gave Sun Yue some instructions.
"Okay, I'll go back now. You have to hurry! When I came here, I received news that the Oriental Group is communicating with the leaders of the Provincial Department, asking our police station to release the person as soon as possible. If the order from there comes down, the station will be unable to stop it."
Just as she was leaving, Sun Yue made a point of saying something to Team Leader Meng. Seeing that the other party understood, she turned and left the office.
"Team leader, this matter involves too many people. Should we report it to our superiors before making a decision?"
After Sun Yue left, a member of the inspection team walked up to the team leader. He had heard everything Sun Yue had said and asked Team Leader Meng with some concern.
"Okay, you go and report to the higher-ups. I'll contact the provincial department. We have to hurry. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must seize it."
Hearing that his team members made sense—that everything needed to be reported—he addressed them and then went to contact the relevant people.
"Deputy Director, the General Manager of Dongfang Group is looking for you."
The deputy-level official was in a meeting when someone walked into the meeting room and whispered something in his ear.
"Director, I have some things to attend to here. I need to take this call."
Upon hearing that the call was from the Oriental Group, the deputy director hesitated for a moment before speaking to the director who was in a meeting.
When the director of the department in the meeting heard that there was something to discuss, he didn't say anything, but waved his hand and told him to go quickly.
Did he say why he was calling me?
After leaving the conference room, the deputy officer asked the officer who had answered the phone earlier, puzzled.
He said he had something important to discuss with you, but he didn't say what it was.
The person who answered the phone shook their head, not knowing why.
"Alright, you can go and get back to work."
Upon reaching the office door, the deputy director stopped and spoke to the person answering the phone.
Who are you?
After seeing that the person had left, the deputy entered the office, saw that the phone on the table was on, and then spoke into the phone.
"Oh, it's Mr. Qu. What's the matter with you calling me?"
Upon hearing the other party's voice, the deputy-level official asked him very politely.
"Didn't I tell my secretary to tell them? Why haven't they released him yet!"
After listening to what Elder Qu said, the deputy-level official said to Elder Qu with some displeasure.
"Don't worry, I'll call them myself right now and tell them to release him immediately."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed a number.
Old He, lawyer Qu Tu, and two others were anxiously waiting in the office, staring at each other as they awaited the phone call.
Ring ring ring!
Old He saw the internal phone on the table ringing. Only internal personnel would call back. He figured it must be the provincial department calling. He was surprised that they called so quickly and stared at the phone in a daze.
"Director He, the phone is ringing, answer it quickly."
Sitting opposite him, Qu Tu and the lawyer watched as Lao He made no move, only watching the phone ring. Qu Tu tapped the table and said to Director He.
"Xiao He, what's the situation on your end? Didn't I have someone call you to let you know? Why haven't they released him yet?"
When the deputy-level official heard that Lao He had answered the phone, he questioned him with some displeasure.
It would be fine if I hadn't said it, but I clearly told them specifically, and they're deliberately going against me.
“Deputy-level official, this matter is not so simple. Besides, the person was just arrested, and everyone is watching. If we let him go now, it will be difficult to explain.”
Hearing the deputy-level officer's questioning, Lao He repeated what he had just told Qu Lao to the deputy-level officer.
"The Oriental Group has already called and explained that the person you arrested is innocent. I'll take responsibility for this. Release him immediately!"
The deputy commander, not wanting to listen to Lao He's rambling reasons, impatiently gave Lao He a command.
"Deputy-level officer, hello."
Before Lao He could say anything more, the other party hung up the phone, clearly not wanting to hear Lao He continue.
"Your director has also given the order, so you can call to release them now, right?"
Qu Tu knew that this was someone arranged by his father. Seeing that even the bureau chief was so respectful, he figured that the person must be at the department head level. He smiled and said to the bureau chief.
"I'll call them right now."
Old He was at a loss. He thought that having the Oriental Group contact the department would delay things for a long time, but he didn't expect to receive a call so quickly. He couldn't play the rogue anymore, so he could only speak to Qu Tu on the phone.
Beep beep beep!
"Hey, the interrogation department isn't answering the phone right now. They've probably already gone home. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late, I should go home for dinner."
Hearing that no one answered the phone at the interrogation department, he showed the phone to Qu Tu and his lawyer, and said to them with a helpless expression.
After saying that, he got up and started getting dressed. It wasn't his shift today, but he was here for Sun Yue's sake.
Seeing that there was no time to delay, they wanted to leave as soon as possible.
