The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Everyone glanced at each other, wondering what was going on. Director Hou sat there, his eyes red and his expression angry. He said, "Arresting people is a matter of law. You can't just arrest someone and release them with a single word. This is the municipal government, not the Huang family's residence!!"
The two deputy mayors sitting next to him stared at Director Hou in disbelief. Either he was still half asleep, or something really serious was about to happen.
"Finance, where's the three million?! Ah!!" Huang Youwei slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, shouting, "Are you going to let the people squander their money like this? That's three million! We didn't even see anything, and they just took three million with a few words?"
The finance officer was so angry he almost fainted. Director Hou was yelling at him, but what was he yelling at himself for?
Seeing his teammate sitting there silently taking the beating, Huang Youwei couldn't take it anymore and banged on the table, saying, "Don't you know how to call the police?"
The finance director reacted instantly and hurriedly said, "Director Hou, I have to call the police. Three million is no small amount. We need to investigate what happened back then. It can't be a muddled account. I'm calling the police!"
Huang Youwei turned to Director Hou and asked, "Is there a legal basis for this now?"
At 9:00 a.m., police raided a teahouse in the city center, conducted a brief search of the scene, and took Tan, the actual controller of the teahouse, into custody.
Meanwhile, Huang Youwei went to the provincial department again. Half an hour later, Zhenjiang police received orders to deploy police from other areas and arrive within a few hours.
The news of Mr. Tan's arrest instantly ignited Zhou Gongzi's entire circle. In Mr. Zhou's office, Zhou Gongzi sat opposite him, smoking and looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"What is Huang Youwei trying to do? Is he trying to fight to the death?" President Zhou frowned slightly, looking very displeased. He smoked a cigarette and said, "He argued with Director Hou at the morning meeting, and now he's had Director Hou arrest President Tan. He's using my net to catch my fish?"
“I don’t know what he’s trying to do. This guy’s probably not very bright. Since he wants to speed things up, let’s speed things up for him too. Let’s speed up the investigation in Jiangsu. Bring those farmers and scoundrels over in the next couple of days and let them sue him in court. Huang Youwei likes to arrest people, doesn’t he? He’s supposed to be honest, isn’t he? Let him put on a good show.” Young Master Zhou said, hanging his head and smoking.
"How is that Lu Feng?" President Zhou asked.
"He's easy to handle. He's just a businessman. You know what businessmen are like. I've dealt with plenty of businessmen over the years. Just give him a little something. I promised him that we could not only set up a joint venture in Jiangsu Province, but I could also help him make connections in other provinces. That guy was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear."
Young Master Zhou took a deep drag on his cigarette, rubbing his fingers together, and said, "This is what he wants!"
He then made a fist gesture and said, "This is what we want!"
"We can't let Huang Youwei cause any more trouble. If something happens to President Tan, it will be a huge problem. Even if we can't bring Huang Youwei down, we have to scare him and prevent him from acting recklessly," President Zhou said worriedly.
"Dad, you're just overthinking it. Is Director Hou crazy? Why would he mess with President Tan? President Tan is being treated like royalty right now, he'll be out in a few days." Young Master Zhou stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll contact Lu Feng, just in case things get complicated. I'll prepare some materials for him today!"
Lu Feng didn't wake up until after 1 p.m. His head was throbbing and his mouth was dry. He got out of bed, found the water dispenser, and drank two large glasses of water before he felt a little better.
After a quick bite of food, the phone in the room rang. I answered, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Lu, it's me. Did you drink too much last night?" Zhou Gongzi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I still have a headache, but you got up pretty early!" Lu Feng said politely.
"I have something to tell you. I told you yesterday, but I have to bring it up now. President Tan has been arrested. I'll go to the hotel this afternoon to tell you," Zhou Gongzi said, his voice slightly hurried.
