Chapter 172 First Meeting, Li Jinyun!
Xu Ye put down the materials and said with a mocking expression, "You've already prepared your statements, why do you need my signature? Just sign it for me, wouldn't that be enough?"
The middle-aged man said impatiently, "Just sign it when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense and make yourself miserable!"
At this moment, Liang Hu had also finished reading his copy. He casually tore it to shreds and threw it on the ground without any politeness: "I'll sign your horse. Call your mother over, I'll sign it right now!"
The middle-aged man immediately flew into a rage: "You bastard, what did you say? Are you looking for death?"
Lu Shiyan sneered: "Director Zhang, it seems you're still being too lenient with them."
Junwen chimed in, "That's right! These guys are just scoundrels; they need to be taught a lesson!"
Director Zhang nodded: "Those who refuse a toast will have to suffer the consequences. Men, give them a proper welcome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several henchmen immediately pulled out rubber batons and stun guns, and aggressively approached Xu Ye and his two companions.
Liang Hu roared, "What are you trying to do? You actually intend to use vigilante justice? Don't you have any respect for the law?"
"Wang Fa?"
Lu Shiyan laughed heartily and said smugly, "It's a shame that the kid next to you comes from a wealthy family. Doesn't he understand even now that there has never been a true law in this world?"
"If we have to say there is one, then it is that whoever has more power is the law."
"Unfortunately, compared to me, my Lu family wields far greater power. Therefore, I am the law, understand?"
"Alright, get to it! Give them a good beating!"
Just then, the interrogation room door was suddenly kicked open, followed by an angry voice from outside.
"Really? I had no idea that the laws of Kyushu had become like this?"
Everyone instinctively looked behind them and saw a middle-aged man walk in with an angry expression. It was Zhu Jianguo, the governor of Xiangzhou Province.
Behind him were Xingcheng's Chief Justice Zhang Zhengyi and Sun Wentao, the Fifth Deputy Chief Justice in charge of the Public Security Department.
Director Zhang and the others were stunned by what they saw, and their hearts pounded as a great sense of unease rose within them.
The provincial governor... how did he end up here?
Before he could even figure it out, Zhu Jianguo glared angrily at the middle-aged man and demanded, "Tell me, what's going on? Who gave you permission to bring this person directly to the interrogation room? And who gave you permission to turn off the surveillance cameras? What are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?!"
As he spoke, Zhu Jianguo's aura as a superior suddenly erupted, and cold sweat instantly broke out on Director Zhang's forehead.
"This this……"
Some things are perfectly clear to everyone, and you can do whatever you want behind closed doors.
But the provincial governor caught him red-handed...
And most importantly, the provincial governor is clearly on the other side.
It's over... At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he was doomed!
Zhu Jianguo pointed again at Lu Shiyan and Jun Wen beside him: "I'll ask you again, who are they? When did two people from the underworld become qualified to participate in interrogations by the Public Security Bureau?"
"me……"
Director Zhang was already terrified, and at this moment he was trembling so badly that he could barely stand.
"Two individuals from the underworld said to your face, in front of the Director of the Star City Public Security Bureau, that there is no law in Kyushu, and that they are the law. What is your attitude?"
Zhu Jianguo's voice grew increasingly furious: "You didn't utter a single word, so you're implying that you agree?!"
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang completely broke down.
"Governor Zhu, I was wrong. Please, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again. It's all the Lu family's fault... it was this young master Lu who instructed me to do this..."
Zhu Jianguo didn't look at him again, but turned to Zhang Zhengyi and said, "This is the Public Security Bureau of Xingcheng City. Mayor Zhang, this matter is in your hands. You must investigate it thoroughly. The bad apples must be removed from the ranks, and all lawbreakers must be held accountable. No matter who is involved, there will be no leniency!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhengyi inwardly groaned, but outwardly he could only agree. Then he said to Director Zhang, "You have acted recklessly and abused your power. From now on, you are suspended from your duties and will be subject to investigation by the Discipline Inspection Department!"
Director Zhang's face turned pale, knowing that he was completely finished this time. He never dreamed that what he thought would be a meteoric rise would turn into a battle of gods.
And he, the one who rushed in first, became the first unlucky one to suffer!
Zhang Zhengyi felt even more bitter, but he still looked at Lu Shiyan and said, "This person is suspected of bribery. Take him away and transfer him to the Economic Crime Investigation Department immediately!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and someone immediately led Lu Shiyan and Jun Wen out.
The two did not resist, but stared intently at Xu Ye.
They knew exactly what was going on; it must have been Su Zijin who had interfered.
But how could she dare?
She actually turned against me for another man, that damned bitch!!
He was furious and secretly vowed, "Su Zijing, you just wait! Once you become my woman, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Finally, Zhang Zhengyi turned to Xu Ye and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I've made you suffer."
This wasn't to protect Xu Ye; rather, the Xie family proactively approached the municipal government, stating that tonight's events were entirely a misunderstanding and that there was no incitement to cause trouble or intentional injury.
The reason for this is quite simple. First, as mentioned earlier, wealthy and powerful families usually resolve their own disputes, rather than calling the police.
That's extremely shameful!
Secondly, Xie Jinyan, Xie Shiyu, and the others are not clean to begin with. If things are allowed to escalate, even if Xu Ye can be sent to jail, they themselves will not be spared either.
The third and most important point is the pressure on Su Zijin.
This was the most unbearable thing for the Xie family, so even though they hated Xu Ye to the core, the Xie family could only take the blame themselves, saying that a few people had drunk too much and fell down the stairs, and that it had nothing to do with Xu Ye.
Since there was no evidence to begin with, and the person involved claimed it was a misunderstanding, the Public Security Bureau had no reason to investigate further and could only release Xu Ye.
"It's alright, as long as we find out the truth."
Xu Ye ultimately didn't suffer any loss; on the contrary, he even got Lu Shiyan arrested, so naturally he wouldn't hold a grudge. After a brief chat, he took his leave.
When they came out of the Public Security Bureau, Su Zijin and Zhou Yulan were already waiting there.
Upon seeing Xu Ye emerge, Su Zijing immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ah Ye, are you alright?"
Xu Ye felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"I'm glad you're alright. Let's leave first."
After saying that, the group walked towards the parking lot. They hadn't gone far when a woman with an imposing and arrogant aura stepped out of the car.
Su Zijing's gaze darkened for a moment, and she leaned close to Xu Ye's ear and whispered, "This is Li Mingzhe's older sister, Li Jinyun!"
