Director Zhou's expression changed drastically; the moment he saw the pistol, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
At this moment, this was far beyond his control, and it was no longer something that a workshop director like him could concern himself with.
But he's used to having the final say in the workshop, and he doesn't want to lose face in front of hundreds of workers.
At that moment, he steeled himself and said, "Captain Feng, let's talk this out. You just barged into the workshop with your men and arrested people without any evidence. Even if they are criminals, you have to give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, you'll make the employees panic. How are we supposed to complete the production tasks?"
Whether or not the production task is completed is your problem.
Feng Biao snorted, "Jiang Ming is suspected of stealing factory supplies, and we have enough evidence. We are just carrying out normal law enforcement, and we hope Director Zhou will not interfere with our work."
At this moment, Jiang Ming, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, "I didn't steal anything! Someone must be framing me!"
Feng Biao sneered, "You can appeal to the factory later, but you have to come with us now."
"What are you all doing? Put your guns down!"
Just as the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the workshop supervisor arrived with one other person.
When Director Zhou saw Deputy Factory Director Wei, who was in charge of production, arrive, he immediately put on a smile and ran over to him. "Director Wei, you're here! This security department is too arrogant. They just arrested Zhao Laosan yesterday, and today they're arresting Jiang Ming. What do they take our workshop for? A den of criminals?!"
"It's Captain Feng! What's all this commotion? He's even pulled out his gun!"
Ignoring Director Zhou, Deputy Factory Director Wei walked closer and nodded to Feng Biao, asking him a question.
Feng Biao smiled at Deputy Factory Director Wei: "Factory Director Wei, Jiang Ming from the fitter workshop is in the same situation as Zhao Laosan we took away yesterday. They are both suspected of stealing important materials from the factory. The security department has been watching these two for a long time. We have recently obtained sufficient evidence, so we came to arrest them."
“We are just following the law now. If you hadn’t come, and Director Zhou had obstructed us again, I might have taken him away as an accomplice.”
Feng Biao's words startled everyone around him.
"Feng Biao, stop talking nonsense! Who's the accomplice?!"
Director Zhou's face turned bright red, and he said angrily, "Did I stop you? I'm here to reason with you. If you really have a valid point, you don't need to scare everyone with a gun like this."
Feng Biao gestured for his team members to put away their guns, stepped forward, and stood in front of Director Zhou: "Hey Zhou, who do you think you are? Trying to reason with me? Do I need to reason with you? I'm following the orders of Section Chief Wang from the Security Section to arrest criminals who have stolen national interests. Anyone who obstructs me will be considered an accomplice. Is there something wrong with that?!"
Mentioning Wang Dabao instantly made Feng Biao feel a dull pain in his hip, and he became even angrier, showing no intention of giving Director Zhou any face.
Even if Deputy Factory Director Wei tried to stop him, let alone Director Zhou, he wouldn't back down.
If Wang Dabao finds out that the person is lost, he might really break his legs when he gets back!
"Captain Feng, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Deputy Factory Director Wei's expression turned extremely serious. "How about this, please hand Jiang Ming over to me first, and I'll take him to my office and interrogate him personally. If what you say is true, I'll personally escort him to the security department."
"I'm sorry, Director Wei, this is against the rules."
Feng Biao's answer was straightforward, which surprised Section Chief Wei.
Feng Biao was well aware that whether his legs could be used properly depended on a single decision, and he could not hesitate for even a moment.
Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Wei's expression was not good, Feng Biao added, "It is Section Chief Wang's order to take the person back immediately."
Now that things have come to this point, it would be unreasonable for Deputy Factory Director Wei to make things difficult for Feng Biao any further.
If you're so capable, go ask Section Chief Wang for the person!
"Feng Biao, why are you so stubborn...?"
Director Zhou wanted to say a few more words to Feng Biao, but Deputy Factory Director Wei waved him off.
"In that case, let Captain Feng take the person away. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, I will personally go and talk to your Section Chief Wang."
Feng Biao nodded, intending to say that he didn't have the opportunity, but then he thought that he wasn't at a position where he could talk to the deputy factory director.
After hearing what Deputy Factory Director Wei said, the workers gradually dispersed from the road.
Feng Biao glanced at Director Zhou with a meaningful look in his eyes, then quickly led Jiang Ming away from the fitter's workshop.
After Feng Biao left, both Deputy Factory Director Wei and Director Zhou looked rather grim.
"Old Zhou, if the security department really has evidence of Jiang Ming's crimes as they say, then you can pack your things and get out of here." Deputy Factory Director Wei reprimanded Director Zhou directly in front of all the workers in the workshop, leaving him no face whatsoever.
Deputy Factory Director Wei turned and left, leaving Director Zhou standing there awkwardly with a bright red face.
Hearing the whispers around him, Director Zhou felt extremely embarrassed and hurriedly returned to his office.
The workshop immediately erupted in chaos.
"This Captain Feng is really tough. He doesn't even give face to Deputy Factory Director Wei, let alone Director Zhou. He's a true member of the Security Department."
"Didn't you hear what they said? He got orders from above, and he wouldn't dare to agree to release them!"
"I reckon Jiang Ming's offense this time is serious. The security team even drew their guns when they came to arrest him. Isn't that scary! They didn't have this kind of force when they came to arrest Zhao Laosan yesterday."
"Hey, did you all hear what that captain just said? He said that they've been watching Zhao Laosan and Jiang Ming for a long time, and only took action to arrest them now that they had the evidence. So, it doesn't have much to do with Yi Zhonghai!"
"Now that you mention it, it makes sense. We suspected Yi Zhonghai because he was taken to the security department yesterday. But now that I think about it, even if he reported it, the security department would have to collect evidence before they could arrest him. It's impossible for them to do it so quickly, right?"
"What did I say yesterday? I told you that Lao Yi isn't that kind of person, but you just wouldn't believe me. Now look what happened, you've completely wronged Lao Yi, and he hasn't even broken ties with you, has he? That shows how reliable Lao Yi is."
"Oh, don't say that anymore, I regret it so much, damn it, I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes for Laiyi later and apologize to him."
Yi Zhonghai stood outside the crowd. Ever since Feng Biao said those words, his emotions had been like turbulent waves, never calming down.
It was clear that everyone's attention was on Jiang Ming, and no one was paying attention to his matter at all. This made him extremely anxious, and he almost couldn't catch his breath as he nervously watched the reactions of the people around him.
Now that I finally heard someone talking about him, I instantly felt a sense of relief, my face flushed with excitement, and I almost fainted from overinhaling oxygen.
At this moment, he finally experienced the beauty of happiness once again.
Didn't anyone say they should give him cigarettes as an apology?
Forgive him, you must forgive him! Only in this way can we show Yi Zhonghai's magnanimity!
