Upon hearing his words, Director Zhou chimed in, "You're right. Once he reveals who's behind him, things will be much easier."
Cao Yajun nodded, "Okay, once he confesses, you can just arrest him."
He's just a small fry; he won't last long.
Outside, Xu Xiangyang listened to all of this, his fists clenched tightly.
Well, I haven't even gone looking for trouble with him yet, and this guy has already secretly tripped me up.
Xu Xiangyang sneered. Since he showed no mercy, he didn't need to hold back either.
The previous ten thousand yuan had clearly not taught Cao Yajun a lesson. Since that's the case, let's teach him a lesson properly!
The two people inside the room finished talking and then parted ways.
Director Zhou didn't go back to that room. He sent someone to inform them, and then went home after get off work.
Xu Xiangyang thought about it for a moment, and realized that taking people away quietly like this was obviously not a good idea.
Judging from Cao Yajun's attitude, he certainly won't let this go this time.
But it's not good to keep Qian Wenqing here.
This kid is pretty principled; he didn't betray himself even after being beaten up like that.
He estimated that if Qian Wenqing didn't budge, the people here wouldn't dare to arrest him on their own.
Therefore, I am safe for the time being.
He thought about it and decided that he couldn't act rashly.
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Xiangyang went directly to the warehouse where Cao Yajun had previously worked.
However, when he arrived, he found nothing; it was dark inside and no one was there.
Could it be that Cao Yajun has moved the location?
This is going to be difficult; I've come here to cause trouble.
How can we cause trouble if we move out?
Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips, feeling that he still needed to go back and study this matter further.
Back home, he had no desire to sleep or do anything else.
He hadn't met anyone during this time, and if he rashly stepped forward to bail someone out, it might attract Cao Yajun's attention, and then he might cause trouble for himself, which would be even more troublesome.
He thought about it and decided that it would be best for someone else to handle it.
But who to turn to is the problem!
Xu Xiangyang's eyes darted around, and then he went out again under the cover of night.
...
The next morning, he got up, dressed properly, and went to the street office on East Street.
It's only a little past eight in the morning, past the start of the workday, so there aren't many people on the road.
He had just arrived at the street when he saw Director Zhou enter the door not far away.
Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips, then followed her into the office of the branch office.
He looked around; it was just an ordinary office, like any other one.
"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?" a young comrade asked, standing up.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Why would anyone come here if there's nothing wrong? To play mahjong with you?"
"Comrade, I'd like to ask if there's a man named Qian Wenqing here?" he asked casually.
Qian Wenqing?
Upon hearing this name, everyone around looked at Xu Xiangyang.
Because they caught this person yesterday, and Director Zhou even said that no one could let him go.
The group exchanged glances, then the young man asked, "May I ask your relationship to him?"
Xu Xiangyang replied, "We used to be colleagues. I came to check on things after hearing about this. Here is my work certificate, take a look."
After saying that, he handed over his work ID.
Upon closer inspection, the man quickly said, "So you're Director Liao's secretary. Come with me to Director Zhou's office."
They didn't dare to receive such officials, after all, their positions were different, and even Director Zhou couldn't afford to offend them.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, put away the work certificate, and then followed him to the courtyard they had visited yesterday.
He watched the young man go to the office, and less than two minutes later, he saw Director Zhou follow him out.
"Secretary Xu, hello, hello. Why didn't you let me know you were coming? I didn't even prepare any good tea." Director Zhou walked over with a smile and shook hands with him, his face full of flattery.
Xu Xiangyang didn't laugh, but replied calmly, "Director Zhou, right? I'm here today for no other reason than to ask about my former colleague, Qian Wenqing. I heard he was arrested? Is there some misunderstanding?"
He stated the purpose of his trip directly, telling us to stop with the nonsense.
Director Zhou gave an awkward laugh and then said, "Secretary Xu, shall we go inside and talk?"
Everyone outside is watching. Besides, he can't afford to offend Xu Xiangyang, nor can he afford to offend Cao Yajun.
Without any evidence, he wouldn't risk offending Xu Xiangyang.
Because he dared not.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and did not make things difficult for him.
The two entered the office, and Director Zhou poured him a glass of water. "Secretary Xu, we don't have any good tea here, please make do with this."
Xu Xiangyang didn't drink any water. Instead, he sat down and asked, "Director Zhou, about Qian Wenqing, let's get down to business."
He doesn't have time to waste here; he needs to get things done as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if something else happens, he won't have time to deal with it.
Director Zhou was clearly in a difficult position and said, "Secretary Xu, you know that we caught Qian Wenqing red-handed, so we want to release him..."
"Caught red-handed?" Xu Xiangyang interrupted him directly, saying, "What does 'caught red-handed' mean? Just because he has a lot of stuff, you conclude that he's a speculator? Isn't that a bit too arbitrary? I've known Qian Wenqing for so long, do you think I don't know what kind of person he is?"
That's right, they have no substantial evidence at all; it's all fabricated charges.
