From the very beginning, Li Chengbo decisively confiscated everyone's phones, prohibiting them from contacting the outside world before the inquiry. Only such extre asures could prevent the situation from escalating further.
At least for the mont, it was successful. These temporary workers still didn't know the identity of that woman, and their anger was directed at Xu Chunliang.
However, these security guards weren't fools. They quickly realized sothing was amiss, noticing that the police station's attitude seed plainly biased towards Xu Chunliang.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhang Haitao imdiately gathered over twenty people to stand up for the dean, which was his mont to show loyalty. Zhang Haitao had considerable influence in Hu Shan Town.
If not for the presence of Li Chengbo from the police station, those injured security guards might have taken another beating. The sight of this gathering started to instill fear in the guards.
Under Li Chengbo's suggestion, Huang Yong first sought a private conversation with Kong Linghai, clearly telling him that Xu Chunliang is the hospital's dean and also his good friend, hoping the matter wouldn't blow up further. They all spend money on their dical treatnts and car repairs.
Kong Linghai was very receptive to Huang Yong and, after discussing with a few others, decided to give Huang Yong this courtesy.
No one was foolish; they already sensed sothing was wrong. Xu Chunliang was not soone to be ssed with, especially since they provoked first. They ran over to fine people for having a picnic, on land that didn't even belong to Da Heng. It was an overreach of enforcent, and pursuing it wouldn't end well for them.
Li Chengbo's greatest hope was to see such an outco. Since both sides had reached an understanding, the case would be easier to handle.
On Xu Chunliang's side, arrangents were previously made with the hospital, and so small adjustnts were done on Kong Linghai's dical records. A nasal bone fracture was confird, turning the cheekbone fracture into a cheekbone crack. Though it's just a word's difference, it completely changes the nature—one is a minor injury, the other is a light injury, but in any case, the treatnt is similar.
Wang Xiaofeng, in charge of ergency reception, knew how to write the dical record without needing Xu Chunliang's instructions. For Kong Linghai's side, it was written lightly, and for Xu Chunliang's side, heavily.
In order to cover up the fact that i Ru Xue was present, Li Chengbo and Huang Yong put in much effort, working till midnight to settle everything.
This ti, Xu Chunliang also made a concession. It wasn't that he feared trouble, but didn't want to cause any for i Ru Xue.
After resolving the issue, he made a special call to i Ru Xue, firstly to check on her, and secondly to inform her that the matter was completely resolved.
i Ru Xue breathed a sigh of relief. The incident had left her with a psychological shadow; even if she were to date again, Weishan Island is off-limits.
Though she was concerned about Xu Chunliang's situation, it wasn't convenient to visit the hospital now.
Everything was supposed to be over. Yet unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn the next afternoon.
Kong Linghai reversed his decision, refusing to reconcile. He even decided to sue Xu Chunliang, claiming that after redoing the injury assessnt in Dongzhou, results showed it was not a cheekbone crack, but a cheekbone fracture. Not a minor injury, but rather a light injury.
The car accident from last night also implicated Xu Chunliang, who was suspected of unauthorized driving, to bear full responsibility.
Huang Yong was also troubled upon hearing this. After all, those people were supervised by the Comprehensive Law Enforcent Office, and he diated the reconciliation last night. Now that things have changed, he couldn't account for it to Xu Chunliang or i Ru Xue.
If Kong Linghai continued to stir up trouble, it could spread widely, implicating not only Li Chengbo and himself but also Wang Xiaofeng, who helped with the dical records last night.
Upon learning about this, Xu Chunliang told Li Chengbo not to panic, assuring him to et challenges head-on and handle things as they co. At this point, standing firm was vital, ensuring i Ru Xue wouldn't get involved, and not jeopardizing friends who offered help.
Yet, with the matter escalating, it was impossible for i Ru Xue to remain uninford. She proactively called Xu Chunliang and told him not to worry. If the truth couldn't be concealed, then let it be; she'll tell the truth, and let others say whatever they want.
Her biggest concern was Xu Chunliang. With Kong Linghai redoing the injury assessnt, he undoubtedly intended to blow things out of proportion.
After careful consideration, i Ru Xue concluded that there was a reason for Kong Linghai's flip-flop. Two doubtful aspects were most significant: one was Kong Xiangsheng, and the other was Da Heng Group, because all of Kong Linghai's people were security guards recruited by Da Heng.
Last night, Kong Linghai had already agreed to settle privately. If no one was backing them, he wouldn't dare act this way. She decided to address the issue at the root.
i Ru Xue first called Huang Yong, the head of the Comprehensive Law Enforcent Office, instructing him to issue a rectification notice to Da Heng Group.
Huang Yong was montarily stunned, but quickly understood. i Ru Xue was upset at Da Heng because of last night's events. Initially, he was a bit frantic and directionless upon hearing about the matter, but now that a leader had given directives, he knew what to do.
The Da Heng Group's office in Hu Shan Town received three rectification notices simultaneously.
One for noise pollution, another for illegal fencing, and one for non-compliance with construction regulations. Although three notices could be combined into one, issuing them successively was intentional on the Law Enforcent Office's part, to emphasize the seriousness of the issues.
The person in charge imdiately realized there was definitely a problem in so link, but they couldn't be sure yet if it was related to the security guards' conflict with Xu Chunliang last night. The person reported this to Zhang Hengyang.
Upon hearing the course of events, Zhang Hengyang imdiately concluded it was indeed due to last night's incident. He made a prompt decision to dismiss all involved security guards, which was another way to demonstrate that Kong Linghai's lawsuit against Xu Chunliang was unrelated to them.
He actively called i Ru Xue to explain, but i Ru Xue didn't answer his calls, not giving him any opportunity to explain.
Zhang Hengyang knew that this matter had truly offended i Ru Xue, and she might believe he was backing Kong Linghai to create trouble.
Even if he was foolish, Zhang Hengyang wouldn't do sothing as audacious as offending a local official. Rembering that Kong Linghai was related to Secretary Kong Xiangsheng, he could only muster the courage to find Kong Xiangsheng.
Kong Xiangsheng was taken aback to hear that the Comprehensive Law Enforcent Office had issued a rectification notice to Da Heng's construction site, as Da Heng was a key investnt project for Hu Shan Town, with upper echelons repeatedly emphasizing the need to foster a good investnt environnt. The foundational work had barely begun, yet it was ordered to be rectified, clearly not aligning with upper policies.
The Law Enforcent Office acted without briefing, definitely at i Ru Xue's discretion.
In Zhang Hengyang's presence, he called Huang Yong of the Law Enforcent Office to inquire about the stoppage.
Huang Yong's response was also straightforward: he followed Town Mayor i's instructions, suggesting that Secretary Kong should ask Town Mayor i for specifics.
Kong Xiangsheng was so angry he nearly smashed the phone. What did Huang Yong's words imply? Did he have no regard for him as a secretary?
Seeing this, Zhang Hengyang visited Kong Xiangsheng personally to confirm whether it was him who incited Kong Linghai to stir up the matter. Judging by Kong Xiangsheng's reaction, he seed unaware of what had happened.
Zhang Hengyang said, "Secretary Kong, there's sothing I must report. I just issued an order dismissing Kong Linghai."
Kong Xiangsheng frowned upon hearing this. Kong Linghai was his nephew, whom he had recomnded to Da Heng as a security guard. He had only worked there for a few days, yet Zhang Hengyang dismissed him. This clearly didn't give him any face.
Zhang Hengyang said, "Please don't be upset. Here's what happened." He relayed the situation from beginning to end.
Shrugging his stare, Kong Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard about the fight between Kong Linghai and Xu Chunliang last night. "When did this happen? No one told ."
Sighing, Zhang Hengyang said, "I just found out too. Initially, through diation, both parties had reached an agreent, each side treating their injuries and repairing their cars, even signing under police supervision. But Kong Linghai reneged."
Then Kong Xiangsheng realized why Zhang Hengyang was looking for him. He couldn't be suspecting that he supported Kong Linghai in stirring up the matter, could he?
Cursing inwardly, Kong Xiangsheng thought to himself, "What a fool! Of all people to offend, why provoke Xu Chunliang?"
In a low voice, Zhang Hengyang continued, "From what I understand, there was a woman with Xu Chunliang at the car accident scene yesterday, but she doesn't appear in the police records."
Imdiately, Kong Xiangsheng understood that the woman with Xu Chunliang must have been i Ru Xue. Otherwise, the police station wouldn't have hidden her presence, worried about negative impacts. No wonder i Ru Xue ordered Da Heng to halt work and rectify. Realizing this, he beca anxious and quickly dialed Kong Linghai's number.
Kong Linghai, who was in Dongzhou, had just received notice of his dismissal from the company and was preparing to complain to his uncle, Kong Xiangsheng.
Before he could speak, he called out "Uncle" as soon as the line connected.
Before he could say a word, Kong Xiangsheng began to scold him: "You idiot! Who gave you the guts? You signed an agreent and yet dared to renege, get back here imdiately!"
