Captain Zhao nodded.
"It's obvious they received advance notice and made preparations."
Su Jianguo pondered for a moment.
"Section Chief Zhao has connections in the Education Bureau, and Zhang Erhe is his backer. They're acting with complete impunity."
Captain Zhao sighed.
"There isn't enough evidence right now, so we can only detain Section Chief Zhao for a maximum of 24 hours. If we can't find more evidence, we'll have to release him."
"Then let's start with Zhao Xiaogang. Where can a student like him hide?"
Su Jianguo decided to take charge personally.
He contacted Lao Mao and asked him to help find Zhao Xiaogang's whereabouts.
Old Cat had many informants in Beijing and soon had a lead.
"Boss Su."
Old Cat's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Zhao Xiaogang didn't go to Shanxi; he's hiding in an arcade in the south of the city."
A cold glint flashed in Su Jianguo's eyes.
"Give me the address."
In the evening, Su Jianguo and several police officers quietly surrounded an arcade in the south of the city.
This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people; it's a gathering place for thugs.
"The target is inside."
The old cat said in a low voice.
"The innermost private room."
The officers acted swiftly and stormed into the arcade.
Upon seeing this, the thugs scattered and fled.
The officers rushed to the innermost private room and kicked the door open.
Zhao Xiaogang was playing video games with some friends when he saw the police rush in, and he turned pale with fright.
"What are you doing?"
The police officer showed his badge.
"Zhao Xiaogang, you are suspected of long-term school bullying. Please come with us."
Zhao Xiaogang suddenly stood up.
"I didn't! What right do you have to arrest me?"
Su Jianguo stepped forward and looked at him coldly.
"Zhao Xiaogang, do you think you can get away with this by hiding here?"
When Zhao Xiaogang saw Su Jianguo, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Who...who are you?"
Su Jianguo sneered.
"I am Su Mingfu's father."
Zhao Xiaogang's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
The police officers stepped forward, handcuffed him, and escorted him out of the arcade.
Back at the police station, Zhao Xiaogang was taken into the interrogation room.
He sat in the chair, trembling all over, his former arrogance completely gone.
"Zhao Xiaogang."
Captain Zhao asked seriously.
Why have you been bullying Su Mingfu for so long?
Zhao Xiaogang lowered his head, his voice trembling.
"I...I didn't..."
Captain Zhao slammed his hand on the table.
"Still not telling the truth? The injuries on Su Mingfu's body, and the testimonies of his classmates, all prove your evil deeds!"
Zhao Xiaogang was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Yes, my dad made me do it..."
A glint of light flashed in Captain Zhao's eyes.
"Your dad? Section Chief Zhao?"
Zhao Xiaogang nodded.
"He said that as long as I bullied Su Mingfu and forced him to sign the contract, he would buy me a new game console..."
Captain Zhao and Su Jianguo exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
With Zhao Xiaogang's confession, we can take action against Section Chief Zhao.
at the same time.
In another interrogation room, Section Chief Zhao remained calm and composed.
"Section Chief Zhao."
"I asked the officer."
"Your son has admitted that you instructed him to bully Su Mingfu and force him to sign the contract."
Section Chief Zhao sneered.
"You can believe a child's words? He's just scared and making baseless accusations."
The officer frowned.
"Then how do you explain the contract?"
Section Chief Zhao shrugged.
"I'm just going through the motions, checking land ownership issues. Whether Su Mingfu signs or not is his prerogative."
The police officers were furious at his shamelessness, but couldn't find a way to break through.
Su Jianguo walked out of the interrogation room with a gloomy face.
Captain Zhao followed.
"Boss Su, the situation isn't good right now. Section Chief Zhao is denying everything, and Zhao Xiaogang's testimony isn't enough to convict him."
Su Jianguo took a deep breath.
"Captain Zhao, I have an idea."
Captain Zhao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What are your thoughts?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Su Jianguo's eyes.
"Since the law can't do anything to them for the time being, I'll solve it my way."
Captain Zhao was startled.
"Mr. Su, please don't do anything reckless!"
Su Jianguo sneered.
"Don't worry, I won't break the law. But some people won't behave unless they're taught a lesson."
The next day, Section Chief Zhao was released.
The leaders of the Education Bureau came to the police station in person to demand the release of Director Zhao, claiming that he had been in meetings all day and that there were meeting minutes and testimony from several colleagues.
Captain Zhao had no choice but to release the man.
When Section Chief Zhao walked out of the police station, he had a victor's smile on his face, and even gave Su Jianguo a provocative look.
"Boss Su."
Section Chief Zhao said in a sarcastic tone.
"I'll let it go this time, but don't wrong an innocent person next time."
Su Jianguo looked at him coldly.
"Section Chief Zhao, Heaven is watching what people do."
Section Chief Zhao burst into laughter.
"Heaven? In Beijing, power is heaven!"
Su Jianguo clenched his fists, barely suppressing his anger.
He knew that taking action now would only put him in a passive position.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaogang's case also encountered trouble.
His lawyer claimed that Zhao Xiaogang was a minor and that the so-called "bullying" was just playful fighting between classmates and did not constitute a crime.
"Boss Su."
Captain Zhao said helplessly.
"We can't apprehend Zhao Xiaogang either. He's a minor, and your son's injuries aren't serious; at most, he'll receive a reprimand."
Su Jianguo's face turned ashen.
