Chapter 239 Thank you so much
What can make the people come to plead in such a large number is definitely not hired actors, but true recognition from the bottom of their hearts.
Hui'an has never been as safe as it is now, nor has it ever been as prosperous as it is today. This huge transformation is visible to everyone.
Lei Zhen takes care of the elderly and widowed people; Lei Zhen takes care of the children who cannot go to school; Lei Zhen also takes care of the unemployed!
There are no more gangsters infiltrating the school, no more gangsters causing trouble in society, no more carjackers on the streets, and no one collects protection fees from small shops...
This was all done by Lei Zhen, who wouldn't thank him?
As for his gangster identity... Is this a gangster? He is a conscientious entrepreneur, the backbone of the nation's entrepreneurs, and a great benefactor who is truly willing to give back to society!
The reporters had a keen sense of smell. Perhaps some of them were arranged by General Manager Xu, but after seeing this situation, they immediately realized what they should do.
"Old man, is Lei Zhen a gangster?"
"It's unfair, wuwu... How could he be a gangster? Have you ever seen a gangster like this?"
"Children, are you all sponsored by Lei Zhen for going to school?"
"Yes, it was all funded by Uncle Lei. He provided us with food and accommodation, and allowed us to study hard and report to the government to serve the country. Uncle Lei is really not a gangster..."
Journalists of this era still have strong professional ethics and are very particular about seeking truth from facts. They were originally interviewing the arrest of the biggest gangster in Hui'an, but there was a huge reversal.
"No interview allowed!" Xu Yudong said in panic, "Stop them! No interview allowed!"
Several reporters came up to him immediately.
"Leader, why are we not allowed to interview you? Is there something hidden here?"
"Why are ordinary people petitioning collectively? Is Lei Zhen actually part of the underworld? Is he suspected of multiple murders as reported?"
“…”
Just when things were about to get out of control, Mr. Hou rushed over with his men.
When he saw Xu Yudong falling into a passive position, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow villagers, President Hou is here!"
When they heard that it was General Hou who came, the people rushed over to beg General Hou, crying and speaking well of Lei Zhen and speaking up for him.
"Folks, I understand you!"
"But they're from the provincial capital. You can't hinder their work..."
Mr. Hou walked among the common people without any airs, shook hands with the visitors, and even squatted down to hug a crying child.
"Boss Hou, Lei Zhen is truly wronged..."
"We all saw it. They can't just arrest people!"
“…”
The crowd was outraged, and President Hou sighed deeply.
"Fellow villagers, whether Lei Zhen is guilty or not, the law will give him the fairest trial!"
"I know better than you what he has done for Hui'an, and I know him better than you do. Except for his lifestyle, which is a bit..."
Master, this is a master!
Actively exposing Lei Zhen's flaws and not describing him as perfect made him more down-to-earth.
"But I can assure you that I will follow through to the end."
"If Lei Zhen is guilty, the law will naturally punish him; if he is not guilty, and someone insists on wrongly accusing him, I will be the first to disagree! This is not just my will, but the will of more than two million people in Hui'an!"
"good!"
Applause broke out.
The officials spoke, and the people believed them.
"Alright, let's have the comrades from the provincial capital carry out their mission," Chief Hou said. "Lei Zhen will be taken to the provincial capital, and I will follow."
"What? Take him to the provincial capital?"
"No, absolutely not! Mr. Hou, if we take him to the provincial capital, won't they be able to say whatever they want?"
"We don't agree. If we want to try it, let's do it here!"
"Yes, we'll try them here. We don't trust people from the provincial capital!"
“…”
The crowd was in an uproar again and firmly disagreed with taking Lei Zhen to the provincial capital.
According to their thinking, if they took the person to the provincial capital, everything would be over and he must stay at home.
"This..." President Hou said loudly, "Everyone, calm down. I'll talk to the comrades in the provincial capital, okay?"
He walked through the crowd and came to Xu Yudong.
"Mr. Xu, I've done my best. Public opinion cannot be violated."
"Should I report this to my superiors, or..."
Mr. Hou spoke very subtly, but he also made it clear to the other party that the person could not be taken away, otherwise it would cause strong public outrage.
I've already cleaned up your mess. If you insist on going your own way, you'll have to decide how to end it.
"Boss Hou, is this meaningful?" Xu Yudong stared at Boss Hou and said, "You should know better than me, whether it's public opinion or public outrage..."
Mr. Hou turned around and faced the crowd.
"The provincial leaders have agreed to temporarily detain Lei Zhen on the spot. They will conduct further investigations!"
“Crash…”
Applause broke out from below, mixed with various expressions of gratitude.
Although Xu Yudong was extremely unhappy, since things had already turned out like this, he could only accept it.
Soon, Lei Zhen was taken into the car.
But it was not the prepared prison van, but he was riding in the same car with Xu Yudong.
The people in front made way for the vehicle, allowing it to move forward and drive towards the Hui'an Detention Center.
"Lei Zhen, do you think you're so clever? You think you can overturn your crimes by mobilizing the masses who don't know the truth?"
"I'm telling you clearly, this kind of behavior will only make the higher-ups more disgusted, so everything you do is in vain."
This is the truth, this is the kind of person the people above us dislike the most.
This is called manipulating public opinion and inciting the masses, which is an even greater crime.
"Mr. Xu, of course I understand." Lei Zhen asked, "But what do you think of my performance?"
"Haha, then how do you think you did?" Xu Yudong sneered.
"I think it shouldn't be a problem to get Bai Zhuo into bed. Even if I can't do it for the time being, I, Lei Zhen, have already entered her heart."
Lei Zhen answered the question irrelevantly, with a smug look on his face.
"No woman can resist the man who protects her, just as no woman can forget who took her first blood."
"Bai Zhuo has a cold personality, but the more a person is like this, the more they crave care and attention. I guarantee that she must have grown up without love until she met me—"
This is the demeanor that Brother Zhen should have.
No matter how strong the storm is, it will not stop him from picking up girls.
He realized that he had truly entered Bai Zhuo's heart. All he needed to do next was to work harder so that he could appreciate the peonies up close.
"You still have the heart to think about these things?" Xu Yudong sneered: "Take care of yourself first, you are not far from death."
Lei Zhen looked at him and smiled, as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Mr. Xu, of course I care."
"Originally I didn't want to get rid of the other bosses in Hui'an, but now you've given me the chance. Thank you so much!"
"Don't worry, after I finish deep cleaning Hui'an, I will definitely treat you to a drink, hahahaha."
This is the truth. Lei Zhen has long wanted to get rid of Zhao Hongbing and his men, but he has never found an opportunity.
With these guys around, his Hui'an will always be unstable.
"Hahaha……"
Xu Yudong also laughed and looked at Lei Zhen as if he was an idiot.
