Feng Jian's spirits lifted imdiately when he saw Zhou Jun and his wife leave the police station.
However, after staring for a long ti at the couple's backs, he still didn't see Zhou Xin.
He furrowed his eyebrows involuntarily. What was going on here?
Those two punks had already withdrawn the lawsuit, why wasn't Zhou Xin released?
He pondered for a mont, then opened the car door and walked over.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Feng Jian from the Pingtan Branch, Director Ma sent to handle this situation."
His tone was very polite, even sowhat ingratiating and sycophantic.
After all, the man in front of him was worth billions.
As a small-ti policeman, he could never earn that much money in several lifetis.
Moreover, it wasn't intentional; it was an instinctive attempt to curry favor, making it seem very natural.
He glanced at the police station and asked, "Why didn't I see Mr. Zhou's son?"
The couple's expressions didn't look good, but considering Director Ma had arranged for soone to help so late at night, they didn't get angry.
Of course, it was mainly because Director Ma was the only one still willing to help them.
Offending him would leave their son with no hope at all.
"Not sure," Zhou Jun shook his head.
"I had arranged for two young punks to co and withdraw the lawsuit earlier. Did Mr. Zhou see them?"
"Yes, I saw them."
"Was it not successful?"
"Not sure," Zhou Jun said, "We've been waiting in the lobby. These questions shouldn't be directed at ."
Feng Jian coughed lightly; he was a bit confused, actually questioning Zhou Jun.
It seed like there was indeed a snag sowhere in the process.
"Mr. Zhou, please go ho and rest well. I'll find Director Ma first thing in the morning."
He didn't make any rash promises; after all, he was just a small-ti policeman, without such privileges.
"Okay."
Zhou Jun nodded, saying nothing more.
That day, he had gone to Lingjiang to find Song Guanchao, then ca back to visit Ma Wenhui, and now was waiting at the police station until the early morning hours.
He was not young anymore and really very tired.
After the couple left, Feng Jian looked at the Guanqian Road Police Station, contemplating whether to go inside and directly ask Chief Qian about the situation.
Ultimately, he restrained that thought.
Even with Director Ma stepping in, the issue wasn't completely resolved. A small-ti director like him couldn't possibly solve it.
Though he dearly wanted to turn the tide, earning Mr. Zhou and his wife's appreciation, his abilities were limited, and he could only imagine accomplishing such an almost impossible task.
He turned around and drove off.
The next day.
Feng Jian woke up early and went to the branch.
As soon as Ma Wenhui arrived at the office, Feng Jian knocked on the door.
"Co in."
Seeing it was Feng Jian, Ma Wenhui asked, "Is the issue resolved?"
"Not yet."
Feng Jian forced a laugh, his deanor servile and fawning like a little dog.
"Not yet?" Ma Wenhui's good mood in the early morning was slightly dampened. "What's going on?"
Feng Jian detailed what he had done the day before, explaining every little thing.
"They indeed went to withdraw the lawsuit, but for so reason, Zhou Xin was not released."
"Mr. Zhou and his wife waited until two in the morning before leaving. When they left, I chatted with them a bit. It was clear from their expressions that they were not happy."
Snap.
Ma Wenhui lit a cigarette, smoking and pondering.
Just then, there was a knock on the door again.
"Co in." He looked up.
A young policewoman entered, it was the officer from the branch's dispatch hall.
This policewoman had a good image, personally appointed by Ma Wenhui, specifically to handle dispatches.
With the noble reason that even at the branch, image matters.
"Director Ma, Chief Qian from the Guanqian Road Police Station wants to see you."
"Chief Qian?"
Ma Wenhui let out a slight snort.
This guy was uncooperative in every way yesterday and today suddenly wants to see .
Is he here to explain his hardships?
"I'm busy, let him wait outside. I'll see him when I'm done."
He planned to make Chief Qian wait a little while.
"Oh, okay."
After the beautiful policewoman left the office, Feng Jian, who had been watching her the whole ti, finally withdrew his gaze.
"Director Ma, I'll go get busy now."
"Go ahead."
...
"Chief Qian, Director Ma is busy, please wait a little bit," the beautiful policewoman smiled.
Busy?
Chief Qian sneered in his heart, what could he possibly be busy with this early in the morning?
Evidently, because of Zhou Xin's issue, he held a grudge against .
At this mont, he saw Feng Jian coming out of Ma Wenhui's office.
He told the two policen beside him, "Arrest him."
The two policen were a bit nervous. They've dealt with hundreds, if not thousands, of cases, big and small.
But never have they co to the branch to arrest a policeman.
Feng Jian also saw Chief Qian.
He smirked disdainfully and had no intention of greeting him.
However, he hadn't gone forward when the others took the initiative to approach.
He raised his eyebrows, curious about what Chief Qian wanted to say to him.
"Officer Feng, please co with us."
The words spoken by two policen stopped Feng Jian in his tracks.
"What?" He seed not to understand.
Chief Qian stepped forward, saying, "Xu Lei and Tao Yiran reported to the police."
Feng Jian was even more puzzled, "And then?"
Chief Qian said, "You assaulted them in the hospital."
Feng Jian finally understood.
He snorted coldly, "Do they have any evidence?"
"The words of those two punks, Chief Qian, you actually believe them?"
Chief Qian nodded, "There is evidence."
"Evidence?" Feng Jian frowned, he couldn't believe it.
There were no surveillance caras in the hospital room, what kind of evidence could they have?
Could it be... that nurse?
Did she testify?
"Without evidence, we wouldn't be here. Officer Feng, please co with us."
By now, Feng Jian was starting to panic a little.
Yes, if they didn't have evidence, how could they be after ?
And they ca directly to arrest .
If there was any mistake, he would be scolded terribly.
"I... I need to inform Director Ma!"
"You have two minutes."
He had just spoken when Feng Jian turned and pushed open the office door: "Director Ma, Chief Qian wants to arrest !"
Ma Wenhui looked puzzled, "Who wants to arrest you?"
"Chief Qian, the chief from the Guanqian Road Police Station."
"Why does he want to arrest you?"
"Yesterday, as per your instructions, I went after those two punks to withdraw the lawsuit. They refused, so I taught them a lesson. And they reported to the police... No, it wasn't them who reported."
Feng Jian lowered his voice, "Director Ma, I suspect Chief Qian instructed those two punks to report to the police. Otherwise, they would never have dared."
"Director Ma, this Chief Qian is out of line. He's just a small chief, what right does he have to act so arrogantly?"
"Moreover, he even brought people with him today, directly here to the branch, trying to arrest in front of you!"
Ma Wenhui asked, "Where is he?"
"Right outside."
Ma Wenhui got up and walked to the door, and saw Feng Jian and two policen standing tall outside.
Even after seeing him, the deputy director of the city bureau and branch director, they did not show much respect.
He walked over and asked coldly, "Do you know this is the branch office? Is there an understanding of hierarchy? Do you understand the rules?"
"You're arresting people at the branch, who gave you the courage?"
Facing Director Ma's anger, Chief Qian didn't flinch and only spoke after waiting for him to finish, "Director Liang instructed to make the arrest."
This one sentence made Ma Wenhui abruptly falter.
He was stunned for two seconds, and then his expression turned uncertain.
He had long suspected that there was soone backing Chief Qian.
But he always thought that the pressure on Chief Qian to be uncooperative was coming from Song Guanchao.
It turned out to be Liang Jianfeng!
