On the front page of the Minsheng Morning Post, a report titled "Police Chief Zhou Youchen was attacked by suspected military personnel, what is the truth?" was like a heavy bomb, causing a shock wave in Qianjiang City.
The newspaper clearly printed a photo of Zhou Youchen after he was injured. His slightly haggard but still resolute face, coupled with the detailed events, moved everyone who read it.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Qianjiang was in an uproar.
People were talking about it in the streets and alleys.
In the teahouse, regular customers slammed their hands on the table, filled with indignation: "How can this be! Police officers were performing their duties and were attacked by the military. Is there any law?"
In the vegetable market, mothers were selecting vegetables while muttering, "If even the police are not safe, what can we ordinary people expect?"
Students also had heated discussions on campus, their eyes filled with a desire for justice.
The people's anger spread quickly like a raging fire, and they demanded a thorough investigation of the matter, justice for Zhou Youchen, and an explanation for Qianjiang City.
Protest letters flew toward the police station like snowflakes. Inside the police station, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.
The Director sat at his desk with a frown on his face, looking at the pile of letters from the public on his desk. He knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
He looked across the table at Zhou Youchen, "What do you think?"
Zhou Youchen didn't understand why it was reported in Minsheng Morning Post instead of Qianjiang Daily, but the result was the same.
He thought for a moment and said, "This incident is well known to everyone. The evidence listed in the Minsheng Morning Post is solid. Someone saw with their own eyes that the attackers that night finally entered the military camp..."
"13 people with sharp weapons, obviously want to kill you, throw away personal grudges, and fight against the police. The army is so blatant to deal with the police, and it shows complete contempt for the police."
"The reason why the public is so angry is that they think if the police can be beaten at will, who can protect them?"
The director obviously understood all this. "So what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Youchen raised his eyes, undercurrents surging in his eyes, and he was determined, "Contact the military immediately and ask them to hand over the 13 suspects."
The chief hesitated, "This...will offend Marshal 꺶, remember you were recommended to the police station by Marshal 꺶"
"Marshal Su has a strong character. These 13 suspects cannot represent the military. By handing over the suspects, the military can also prove its innocence to the public and demonstrate the good conduct of the military... This is a win-win situation."
Seeing the director wavering, Zhou Youchen continued, "This matter was caused by you, you can go to Marshal 꺶 in person to explain."
The director no longer hesitated and agreed to his request.
Then, representatives of the police station came to the military base in great momentum.
And Zhou Youchen went to the Governor's Mansion.
In the spacious living room, the crystal chandelier cast a cool light. Zhou Youchen, dressed in a neat police uniform, stood there straight, looking calmly at the closed door of the study. He had been waiting here for a full hour, and every second seemed to be extraordinarily long, but Shuai Su never showed up.
At this time, in the study, Su Xiaoshuai was half lying on the comfortable sofa, holding the "Minsheng Daily" in his hand. The report on Zhou Youchen's attack in the newspaper was particularly eye-catching.
His eyes were deep and calm, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed a little indifferent to everything around him.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Su Jinyu walked into the study with light steps.
She was wearing an exquisite cheongsam, with an anxious look between her eyebrows.
Shuai Su didn't even raise his eyelids, but asked calmly, "Are you anxious?" His voice was low and steady, as if he had expected her to come.
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't leave it alone for so long." Su Jinyu sat down next to Su Xiaoshuai, with a hint of blame in her tone, "It's been long enough."
There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes as she looked at Su Roushuai, thinking to herself that her father's thoughts were really hard to guess.
Su Xiaoshuai put down the newspaper, poked the report on the newspaper with his finger, and looked at Su Jinyu sharply, "Your work?" There was not much emotion in his voice, but there was an irresistible majesty.
Facing his father's questioning, Su Jinyu showed no fear and nodded frankly, "Yes, I will buy this newspaper."
Marshal Su snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You are so rich and powerful." However, his anger seemed to have subsided a little. Then, he frowned again and asked seriously, "Just for a man, you dare to go against your father?"
Su Jinyu didn't agree with her father's words, and said excitedly: "How can this be said to be against you, Marshal! ! We both know who ordered those 13 people to act. Even if we can't get rid of Shen Jingan directly, we should at least teach him a lesson. Do you really think you are easy to bully?"
Su Yushuai stared at his daughter closely and asked, "Then what do you think? Is it for Zhou Youchen, or is it just to deal with Shen Jingan?"
Su Jinyu met his gaze without flinching, and said seriously: "Zhou Youchen suffered because of you. If it weren't for his good skills, he might have died that night. You must be responsible... If Shen Jingan wasn't your father-in-law, you would have found someone to get rid of him long ago. He wouldn't even have to get a divorce, he would have been widowed directly!"
Her voice was full of firmness and determination, and every word seemed to burst out from the bottom of her heart.
Su Xiaoshuai naturally believed that with her financial resources and means, hiring someone to kill Shen Jingan could indeed solve her own problems.
But he also knew that doing so would completely anger Teacher Shen and trigger a greater crisis.
She didn't do this for her own sake. Thinking of this, Su Yushuai was still angry, "Then you let the newspapers attack the army?"
His voice rose slightly, with a hint of questioning.
Su Jinyu looked serious and said sincerely: "Father, those 13 people do not represent the army. Only you, Marshal Su, can represent the army. You can also take this opportunity to reorganize the army. Only when the army and the people are united can the army become stronger."
Su Xiaoshuai looked at her with satisfaction, the anger in his eyes gradually replaced by gentle admiration, "The military and the people are united... You are really grown-up if you can still think of this."
Su Jinyu shook her head lightly, with a faint smile on her face, "No, it's what Zhou Youchen said... He is a person who truly cares about the people, so he refused to join the army."
"Serving as a soldier under you, why don't you serve the people?! Without these soldiers, Qianjiang would have been plunged into war long ago." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Su Youshuai's tone. He could not accept Zhou Youchen's denial of his army.
"But the people also support you... You, Mr. Shen, are more concerned about power than about the people."
Although Su Jinyu's voice was not loud, every word was like a needle, piercing Su Xiaoshuai's heart.
Shuai Su wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words to refute even though his lips moved.
It would be against his will to let him deny it.
He was silent for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart. In the end, he could only sigh deeply and fell into deep thought.
