Yan Zhongmin’s face suddenly changed.
Xu Chunliang deliberately didn’t continue, staring at Yan Zhongmin and said, "They went in through the front gate, locked it from the inside, and entered the distillery workshop. Do you know about this?"
Yan Zhongmin was flustered: "I didn’t know, where did you hear this?"
Li Chengbo could tell from Yan Zhongmin’s reaction that there might be a problem here.
Xu Chunliang said, "Didn’t I just say, there’s no absolute secret now? You couldn’t have not known. Every ti you drove them in, they even dug into the No. 1 ferntation pit."
Li Chengbo said, "I did not!"
Xu Chunliang suddenly yelled angrily, "At this point, you still dare to lie! Tell , were the underground relics stolen by the people you brought in?"
Yan Zhongmin was so scared that his legs gave way, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Li Chengbo was also started, but his reaction wasn’t as intense as Yan Zhongmin’s.
Yan Zhongmin had never encountered such a situation, so scared he was paralyzed with fear: "I didn’t, I didn’t, they were just there to study the ancient ferntation pit..."
"You’re lying. Did they report the study of the ancient ferntation pit to the relevant town departnts for approval? Did they get the permission from the cultural relics departnt?"
"They... they just said they wanted to take a look... they also promised not to touch anything..."
Xu Chunliang said, "You’re full of sh*t! Why would you take those people to study without any reason? You chose midnight, afraid others would find out, doing sneaky things. No wonder your distillery went bankrupt, with leaders like you so self-serving, it’s surprising it didn’t collapse sooner! So, how much did you take from them?"
Yan Zhongmin said, "No... I didn’t..."
XU Chunliang snorted coldly.
Yan Zhongmin shivered in fear: "Really not much, they gave 20,000 yuan. They claid to be from the technical departnt of Qianfan Group, wanting to privately investigate the ancient ferntation pit, to assess its value better before negotiating with the town. I swear, I didn’t steal any cultural relics, and I don’t know about any relics underground, that tunnel has nothing to do with ."
Li Chengbo was furious too: "Good job, Yan Zhongmin, look at what you’ve done!"
Yan Zhongmin remained kneeling, not daring to get up: "I admit I was greedy, but I swear, I had nothing to do with the cultural relics theft. You can confront those people, they just took a look at the pit, they didn’t dig."
Xu Chunliang said, "What’s all this fuss today? So many workers suddenly causing trouble at the distillery, does it have sothing to do with you?"
"No... no..."
Xu Chunliang said, "Yan Zhongmin, you are now suspected of theft of cultural relics, and if we add inciting public disorder, I think you are looking at losing your governnt job for life."
Li Chengbo slamd his hand on the table: "Speak up, confess now for leniency, resist and it will be severe!"
Yan Zhongmin was close to tears: "It was... it was Yan Fangming..."
XU Chunliang and Li Chengbo exchanged glances, both knowing Yan Fangming, the deputy general manager of the Ecological Environnt Construction Investnt Group, who had been beaten by Xu Chunliang. They hadn’t realized there was any connection between them?
They quickly realized that both shared the surna Yan.
XU Chunliang’s investigation instincts kicked in, pursuing the relationship between the two.
Yan Zhongmin had completely broken down, revealing that Yan Fangming was his distant nephew, and they hadn’t had much contact before. Because the distillery discovered a hot spring, Yan Fangming sohow thought of his distant uncle and approached him to learn about the local situation. He helped provide so useful information.
Today’s incident was now completely understood, with Li Chengbo angrily pointing at Yan Zhongmin’s nose: "Yan Zhongmin, you’ve gotten yourself into trouble now. Do you know that your actions constitute a criminal offense?"
Yan Zhongmin said, "I was just trying to bring so benefit for the workers, the distillery went bankrupt, it’s hard for everyone."
XU Chunliang said, "Don’t make yourself out to be noble, Yan Zhongmin, deal with the ss you’ve caused imdiately. I give you half an hour to get the crowd outside to disperse, one minute late, I’ll tally up both new and old scores with you."
Yan Zhongmin said, "Please, it’s not that I don’t want them to leave, but I don’t have the ability now. The woman hit our people, and now it’s their families seeking answers. They won’t listen to ."
Yan Zhongmin said, "I’m greedy. I deserve to die. I shouldn’t have been greedy for petty cash..."
At that mont, Zhao Hong knocked and entered, startled by the scene, unable to comprehend why Yan Zhongmin was kneeling.
Zhao Hong said, "It’s not good, reporters have arrived."
Li Chengbo angrily said, "Why are they everywhere?"
XU Chunliang sneered, "No need to ask, these workers have been used. Whether they succeed in causing trouble or not, there will be follow-up actions. Why did the journalists arrive so quickly?"
Li Chengbo said, "Pre-arranged, it’s outrageous."
XU Chunliang said, "This Ecological Environnt group really has so tactics." He patted Yan Zhongmin on the shoulder, "Get up, don’t kneel all the ti, kneeling too long and you won’t be able to stand."
Yan Zhongmin, trembling, used the chair to help himself stand up. He realized he might be in big trouble.
XU Chunliang said, "You can’t get them to leave? Then I’ll go outside and tell everyone what you did. If they know they’ve been used, that they took a beating, and you took money, what do you think will happen?"
Yan Zhongmin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "I’ll try, I’ll try..."
Li Chengbo had Zhao Hong accompany him.
After the two left, Li Chengbo said, "I really didn’t expect this Old Yan to have so many issues."
XU Chunliang said, "You can’t judge a person completely. Who would’ve thought Yan Zhongmin was Yan Fangming’s distant uncle? Apparently, our intel work still has gaps."
Li Chengbo said, "Today’s incident turned out quite big, I’ll probably get scolded again later."
XU Chunliang said, "Secretary Qin hasn’t called, aning it’s not considered a big deal. Don’t scare yourself. However, those journalists are a bit troubleso."
The two looked out the window to see it was the Dongzhou TV Station’s reporters interviewing within the crowd.
XU Chunliang thought of Su Qing, now that she had resigned, there were no insiders left at Dongzhou TV Station. Having gone through so many ups and downs, Xu Chunliang deeply understood the power of public opinion, and this matter should not be taken lightly.
Yan Zhongmin went outside and tried hard to persuade the crowd, but just as he said earlier, he had no ability to control the situation. If they were just distillery workers, it would be easier to talk, but now most were family mbers seeking justice, making the situation very complex.
XU Chunliang narrowed his eyes, looking at a large bee nest hanging from a tree in the courtyard, took out a pebble, and when Li Chengbo wasn’t watching, flicked it forcefully.
XU Chunliang was very familiar with the internal environnt of the police station, knowing there was a huge bee nest on the tree in the yard. Seeing the overwhelming scene surrounding the station, he imdiately thought of using the thod of disturbing the bee nest to disperse the crowd, but first considered peaceful resolution. From Grandmaster Xu’s experience, with most people, peaceful solutions often don’t work, because they’re not at that level of enlightennt. Generally speaking, the simpler and more violent the thod, the more they accept it.
The pebble, infused with Inner Strength, shot into the bee nest, with a bang, half of the nest was opened, the bees inside awoke from their winter dormancy. An uncountable number of bees, now enraged, flew into the crowd, aimlessly retaliating.
The instigator, Xu Chunliang, leaned his cheek on his palm, curiously observing outside, "Mr. Chen, what’s happening out there?"
Being the quickest to react, Yan Zhongmin and a few officers fled into the station. The police had no particularly good way to deal with bees either.
Dozens of bees still flew into the station, and those cooperating with the investigation worked with the police to swat down the frantic bees.
This was when Xu Chunliang erged from the chief’s office, pretending to help get rid of the bees. When he acted, the bees stopped attacking one by one, forming a group attack.
The workers who had been beaten by Mo Han were now sward and attacked by bees.
Even Li Chengbo could tell, the bees flying into the station didn’t attack the officers, didn’t attack Mo Han, didn’t attack the old lady cleaning, they specifically targeted the distillery workers.
XU Chunliang fending off the bees said, "Retribution, divine justice is inescapable!"
Fearless of anything, Mo Han surprisingly feared the bees, quickly coming to Xu Chunliang’s side for shelter. Xu Chunliang nodded to her, "What a coincidence, you’re at the station too?"
Mo Han glared at him, "Isn’t it your damned distillery causing this ss?"
XU Chunliang said, "Let’s talk it over, no need for violence."
"Ouch!" screams of pain rang out, several workers were badly stung.
