Han Fei is dead, like a ticking ti bomb that exploded in the North District, its impact powerful enough to affect both sides.
Lao Long was the first to receive the report. Although Dragon Soul had acted first and reported later before, it had never been this hasty. On the table was the report submitted by Xiao Lin, with just four words: 'This person must die,' so simplistic that Lao Long didn't know how to handle it. He waited for Xiao Zhenfeng's call; Dragon Soul still had two treasures brought back that remained unhandled.
Rubbing his head in distress, unprecedented pressure ca from all directions, not only from outside but more from within. With the situation becoming critical, Dragon Soul was splitting internally at an exponential rate, and Xiao Zhenfeng rely told him to wait a little longer, ending his dilemma.
What does waiting a little longer an, watching Dragon Soul split in half? He couldn't fathom what Xiao Zhenfeng was thinking, nor understand what those people were planning. However, Han Fei's death beca the fuse accelerating the division, all conflicts pointing towards Dragon Soul, making him feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
"General, a call from the Municipal Party Committee, Line Three." The internal line on the desk rang. Lao Long silently connected Line Three, and Hua Muyun's voice ca through the receiver.
"Han Fei is dead! Do you know what this is about?" Hua Muyun was clearly shocked by the death of a police chief, and his head was about to explode over the matter. The family was creating an uproar in the city, and this wouldn't pass without an explanation.
"Just four words! This person deserved to die!" Lao Long looked at Xiao Lin's four words, bitterly smiling.
"What?" Hua Muyun raised his voice, the event occurred so abruptly that he was taken by surprise.
"The explanation in the report!" Lao Long wanted to say he also wanted to know what was going on. "Xiao Lin transferred a squad from to the North District, brought back two people from the ntal hospital, and now killed a chief. I also want to know what's going on."
"Got it, I have another eting to attend." Secretary Luo reminded Hua Muyun that the eting had started at the door. "We'll get in touch later." After hanging up, Hua Muyun walked out of the office. "Still no contact from Hua Qingyi?"
"Not yet, Secretary Hua." Secretary Luo did his best, but Hua Qingyi's phone was still unreachable. "Young Master Xiao has also been out of contact since yesterday, possibly due to weak signal in the North District, so..."
"More than 24 hours?" Hua Muyun slowed his pace.
"Not yet, but Young Master Xiao is in the sa situation, I wonder if..."
"Try again!" Hua Muyun pushed open the conference room door, causing everyone to look up at him due to his hefty movent.
Today's eting had few participants. Besides the Yanjing Military Region Deputy Commander Lu Yihang and the Mayor Liu Kunnan, Qin Weiguo had just hurried back from Liger City, the only one missing was Wang Zhanting.
"Where is the Minister of the Organization Departnt?"
"His secretary ca by earlier to say he was still on the way." Liu Kunnan glanced at the other two, responding to Hua Muyun with an attitude free of strong conflict.
"Then let's not worry about him for now." He surveyed those present, letting out a long sigh. "You all have probably heard about the incident of the North District Police Station chief being summarily executed, right?" Hua Muyun intentionally emphasized the words 'summarily executed' loudly, observing their expressions. "Now, the family demands an explanation from the municipal committee; what do you think?"
"Secretary Hua, I personally feel that since this was Dragon Soul's decision, shouldn't we refrain from getting involved?"
Hua Muyun's eyes hovered over Qin Weiguo. The man, feeling sowhat unnerved, coughed a couple of tis but did not back down under the scrutiny. "Here's what I think: Dragon Soul always has its reasons and principles. Since Han Fei was... summarily executed, it was likely for sothing outrageous he did. From the municipal committee's perspective, Dragon Soul never reports their actions to us. If we hastily step in to explain or handle the aftermath, it might be seen as inappropriate interpretation."
"What do you two think?" Hua Muyun didn't comnt on Qin Weiguo's response, his face calm and revealing no emotion.
"I think we should first console the family, calm their emotions, and then understand the whole situation through Dragon Soul." Liu Kunnan leaned towards neither side, emphasizing public sentint more than the event itself as mayor. "If we stand by and do nothing, I'm worried soone might exploit the situation and use the family's emotions to incite unrest. Of course, I also trust that Dragon Soul has its reasons; if Han Fei hadn't done sothing he shouldn't have, it wouldn't have co to a sudden execution."
"Yihang, what do you think?" Hua Muyun, uncharacteristically proactive in etings, called on each person in turn. His mind was less on handling the situation and more on Wang Zhanting's response. Surprisingly, Wang Zhantian, who had been brooding over Fatty Wang's cause of death, stayed ho tending to plants and fish like an obedient child, contrary to his initial aggressive posturing. The people Hua Muyun sent out found little valuable information.
"I don't care about these damn things; the North District damn well needs a proper clean-up. Damn it, every ti I go there, it's like a damned ss." Lu Yihang slamd a palm hard onto the table.
"For a commander visiting a subordinate unit in the North District, needing the district chief's signature — co on, isn't this territorialism? Plus, earlier reports indicated an underground factory discovered at an abandoned brick kiln in the North District, and my people were involved in dealing with it. I think the North District is problematic, might as well take this chance to clean it up and seize it."
"Yihang, watch your attitude; if seen by those with ulterior motives, they'll seize it to stir trouble." Hua Muyun reprimanded Lu Yihang, closing his eyes to rest. They were still missing a person, though that person held no importance to him.
"Secretary Hua, I still think we should first appease the family's emotions. After all, it's a police chief we're talking about; killing him without a reason is hard to justify to the public."
"Lao Lu, I know what you're worried about, comforting the family and providing a reason is necessary, as justice dictates. You'll handle this matter, keep it within the North District; don't let it escalate beyond that. Pay attention to this." (To be continued.
