This gave Director Li quite a headache.
On one hand, there was pressure from Peng Yuhuai, who was determined to find out the truth of the case as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Ye Beiping filed a countersuit against Peng Yuhuai.
The fact that a high-ranking deputy minister actually broke into someone's home and assaulted them is a serious matter. Normally, if the victim doesn't pursue the matter, the police wouldn't get too involved.
But if the victim pursues the matter...
"How did Ye Beiping react to this matter?" Director Li asked worriedly.
reaction?
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "Ye Beiping only said one sentence: Does a deputy minister have the right to do whatever he wants? If so, he wouldn't mind reporting it to higher authorities and asking if that's true."
"After he finished speaking, I came to see you because I really couldn't make up my mind."
After listening, Director Li frowned deeply.
In fact, he had already begun to believe Ye Beiping. After all, there's no smoke without fire, and even the most notorious criminal wouldn't falsely accuse a victim on the spot.
However, even someone in Director Li's position wouldn't completely trust it.
After much deliberation, Director Li's brows furrowed even more deeply than before.
After a long pause, Xiao Lin tentatively spoke up: "Director Li, shouldn't we ask Vice Minister Peng about this? If Ye Beiping really reports this to higher authorities, and it turns out to be true, we'll be in deep trouble."
That's right, even now there's this saying about officials protecting each other.
But the incident was so obvious, and no one was killed.
Especially since it involves the deputy minister of the Organization Department of Hangzhou, it wouldn't sound good if word got out.
Director Li glanced at Xiao Lin, closed his eyes, and said, "How could I not understand the reasoning you're giving? But the problem now isn't just about Vice Minister Peng alone. With such an important position, do you think no one else is watching? Once it's confirmed that Vice Minister Peng broke into someone's home and assaulted them, the organization might punish him."
"In the best-case scenario, they'll repent; but what if... what if the people behind Vice Minister Peng target us?"
There were some things he knew he shouldn't say.
But now things are really urgent.
Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised, not expecting Director Li to think so far ahead, even considering whether the people behind Peng Yuhuai might be targeting him.
But that's the reality.
They went to great lengths to get Peng Yuhuai to the position of deputy director of the Organization Department in Hangzhou, but he was pulled down before he could even settle in. Those behind him were definitely not happy. They worked so hard to arrange things, but they didn't get any reward. They had to find someone to take the blame.
The person who was able to get Peng Yuhuai into the position of vice minister must have considerable power.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin secretly glanced at Director Li, wondering if the director in front of her had someone behind him.
"What are you looking at?" Director Li frowned when he noticed Xiao Lin's gaze.
When Xiao Lin was caught peeping, he could only chuckle sheepishly, "Director Li, if you're really in a difficult position, why not just convict Ye Beiping directly? After all, the fact remains that he assaulted someone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Director Li sternly reprimanded him.
"fart."
“As police officers, how can we distort the facts? If this matter is really taken to higher authorities as Ye Beiping said, we will all be left holding the bag.”
"Well..." Kobayashi also started to struggle.
This won't work, that won't work.
What should we do?
Ring ring!
Ring ring!
A phone suddenly rang on Director Li's desk. He frowned, glanced at the clock on the wall, and saw it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
"Who would call at this hour?"
Despite saying that, Director Li still went over and answered the phone.
But the next second, he stood up straight.
"yes."
"I see."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely handle this matter well."
"No problem, it'll be taken care of tonight."
...
After exchanging pleasantries, Director Li sighed and hung up the phone.
Seeing Director Li sighing, Xiao Lin frowned slightly: "Director, is it because Vice Minister Peng is urging you?"
"What a load of crap."
Once he realized what was happening, Director Li yelled at Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, go and notify Peng Yuhuai to come to the police station immediately, and also his wife. As police officers, we must handle this matter impartially and practically."
"yes."
Although Xiaolin didn't know why Director Li's behavior was so drastic, she knew it must be related to that phone call earlier.
He was hesitant just now, but after answering a phone call, he made his stance clear. Even a fool would know that the person on the phone was a sworn enemy of Peng Yuhuai's system, someone trying to find something to use against him.
