Chapter 263 What is Public Opinion?



teahouse.

Yu Kailang walked in.

Wu An stood up and waved.

Yu Kailang walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

After this period of time, the two had become friends. Wu An asked him what he wanted to drink, and Yu Kailang said anything was fine. Wu An then ordered him a cup of tea.

After exchanging greetings, Wu An explained the situation.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Refusing to help someone in distress... that's a bit tricky." After listening, Yu Kailang said, "One possibility is administrative penalties, like fines and demerit points, but I don't know the specifics."

"The other issue is criminal prosecution, but given the current situation, that would be very difficult to achieve."

Investigating accidents at sea is much more difficult than investigating traffic accidents.

Wu An nodded in agreement.

That's what professionalism is all about.

It's all for naught.

Wu An never thought he could do anything to the Chen family; his only goal was to ruthlessly destroy them!

Give the Chen family a little boost!

We can't catch you.

Then I'll drown you all with my saliva.

Let these people experience in advance what "public opinion pressure" is like.

In the future, in the era of self-media, a simple essay posted online can ignite public opinion and ultimately lead to terrifying "cyberbullying."

As for the truth.

Does anyone care?

Possibly.

But it doesn't matter.

People are just watching for fun and joining in the commotion.

There's a saying that goes something like this: explanation is just a cover-up, a cover-up is the truth, and the truth is that it really happened.

Wu An said, "We have no intention of bringing the Chen family to justice."

"Um?"

"I just wanted to vent my anger."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Do what needs to be done. He can report it to the police, and you can investigate." Wu An smiled and said, "I thought I'd let you know to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Yu Kailang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wu An said, "If this matter is handled well, it will bring me recognition."

Yu Kailang frowned slightly: "How can this be handled? To put it bluntly, in the end, it will probably just fizzle out."

Wu An said, "You have to think of it this way: if you can solve problems, you're a good comrade; if you can help your leader solve problems, you're an excellent good comrade."

Yu Kailang's eyes lit up, and his tone became more urgent: "A'an, just say it. I knew you didn't come to me just to exchange information."

"Actually, it's nothing." Wu An didn't keep him in suspense and said, "Old Fu went to you to report the case first, and you couldn't solve it, so the problem lies with you."

"But if Old Fu goes to the leader first, and the leader gets bogged down in the details, and then you step in and help the leader get away, wouldn't the leader think more highly of you?"

"No matter how things end up, as long as Old Fu stops causing trouble, shouldn't the leaders thank you?"

"Hey!" Yu Kailang rubbed his hands together and said, "Ah An, you're really something!"

"Your words are making me excited."

"What a mess! In the end, I'm the one who benefited the most. This... well..."

Wu An smiled and said, "It's true that you've gotten a great deal. If you make a big fuss, Lao Fu can vent his anger and get the money that the Chen family withheld. He's also benefited."

"As for me, I'm happy to see the Chen family suffer."

To put it bluntly, he was just using the conflict between Old Fu and the Chen family to cause trouble.

Therefore, he had to explain the cause and effect, and the advantages and disadvantages, so that no one would overthink it or feel uncomfortable about being used by him.

Yu Kailang finished his tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "Okay, when do we get started?"

Wu An checked the time.

4:30 PM.

Here, most people eat around five or six o'clock. If all goes well, people from all the surrounding villages can start talking about this while they eat.

He said, "Now."

The three of them stood up.

Wu An went to pay the bill.

After leaving the house, Wu An accompanied Old Fu to the town compound.

Along the way, Wu An still tried to teach Old Fu what to say, but Old Fu waved his hand and said, "An, you don't need to say it."

"I can't speak for anything else, but I'm good at throwing tantrums and causing trouble."

“You don’t know, I’m a recipient of the Five Guarantees in Shangwan Village, and I’m a major headache for many cadres.”

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

We arrived at the town compound.

Old Fu walked in with his head held high and chest puffed out.

...

Wu An was also busy.

After a short while, he went to the security booth at the entrance, handed the old man a cigarette, and asked, "Uncle, may I ask, is the commendation for acts of bravery held here?"

The old man took the cigarette, then paused, stunned. "What do you mean by 'acting bravely for a just cause'?"

Wu An said, "Oh, I did a few good deeds before, and they said they would apply for a commendation for my bravery and let me come here to receive the award."

The old man chuckled and said, "You're quite impressive, young man. This kind of award isn't something just anyone can get. You'll have to wait for the notification and come whenever they call you."

Wu An put on an embarrassed posture: "I don't know either. I just received a phone call, and I was afraid of delaying the leaders' business, so I came to ask."

He chatted with the old man for a while, and then he saw people hurrying around in the courtyard, and it was quite noisy. The old man also poked his head out to look at the building.

"Something seems to have happened."

"Right?"

"Uncle, aren't you going to go and take a look?"

"I have to go."

The old man took his tools and walked into the building. Wu An handed him another one and followed him inside.

Seeing how well Old Fu performed, Wu An was relieved.

Not long after.

Yu Kailang and Liu Long arrived and said they could handle the matter. They told Old Fu not to cause trouble in the courtyard. After a long argument, Yu Kailang appealed to Old Fu's emotions and reasoned with him, and Old Fu was successfully persuaded.

As he left, Liu Long wiped the sweat from his forehead. His gaze swept across the room and he stared at Wu An, who was standing with the old security guard. His eyes widened for a moment.

This... it really was this kid who caused it!

"Why is this kid everywhere?"

...

Those watching the commotion in the town courtyard were not just passersby.

Everyone quickly dispersed.

Several leaders stood together, making phone calls to inquire about the situation.

Old Fu said that if his problem wasn't solved, he was a recipient of the Five Guarantees anyway and had no hope, so he bought some gasoline to make a fire for everyone.

This is terrifying.

If they cause such a mess, none of them will get away with it.

Call Shangwan Village.

Call the local police station and ask the station chief to personally oversee the matter.

They also called Director Yi, who was in charge of the rescue operation, to find out what was going on.

A leader noticed Wu An and the old security guard, wiping the sweat from his face, and called out, "Uncle, you're a security guard, why are you standing on the outside watching?"

Wu An looked at the old man.

really.

The old man is indeed a grandpa!

The old man who can guard the gate is no ordinary person.

They're either relatives or related.

"Hey, I'm just a gatekeeper, what else can I do if I don't watch over things?" The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "When people are in trouble, I'd like to help, but I can't do anything about it."

The leader was speechless after being rebuked, waved his hand, and went upstairs.

Wu An asked, "It seems like everyone's used to it..."

The old man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands behind his back, walked out: "Of course, there are always conflicts of one kind or another. Anyone with a connection comes to make trouble."

"It's rare to see something like this that's okay."

"I doubt anything will really happen."

Wu An smiled.

He didn't reply.

Having mentally reviewed the entire plan, only the final step remains.

This is also the most crucial step!

Upon reaching the door, he patted the cigarette box in his hand, which still contained about five, six, seven, or eight cigarettes. He placed it directly on the old man's table and said, "Uncle, thank you for showing me this exciting show."

"No need to see me off, I'm leaving now."
