Official Career Storm-Chapter 1343

After Chief Qian hung up Director Ma's call, he suddenly received another call.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, he froze for two seconds, thinking he was seeing things.

It was Director Liang calling!

Director Liang was also a leader who rose from Lingjiang City, having a close relationship with Mayor Wu. It's said that they are from the same faction.

Just now, Director Ma called, trying to resolve this matter.

Immediately following, Director Liang called.

This made him have to speculate that Director Liang's call was likely to support Song Guanchao.

Thinking a lot in an instant, with a plan in mind, Chief Qian immediately answered: "Hello, Director Liang."

"Chief Qian, am I interrupting?"

"No."

"There's something I need to ask."

"Please, Director Liang."

"Did Song Guanchao call the police last night?"

"Yes."

"Explain the situation in detail to me."

"Here's what happened..."

A few minutes later, after listening, Liang Jianfeng asked, "Is there any problem with the hospital's injury assessment?"

"No."

"Good."

Liang Jianfeng ended the call.

Chief Qian became even more puzzled.

What exactly does Director Liang mean?

As he was trying to analyze the purpose behind Liang Jianfeng's call, his phone rang again—it was Director Ma.

"Hello, Director Ma..."

"Chief Qian, why haven't you sent me the contact information for the two young people?"

Chief Qian suddenly hesitated.

He hesitated not about whether to send it, but about whether to tell him that Liang Jianfeng had just called.

After thinking it over, he ultimately chose not to mention it.

"Just a moment, I'll send it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Chief Qian dialed Liang Jianfeng's number.

"Chief Qian, what's the matter?"

"Director Liang, Director Ma Wenhui just called..."

He explained in detail about Ma Wenhui looking for him.

Liang Jianfeng asked, "Did you tell him that I contacted you?"

"No."

"Good," Liang Jianfeng said nothing further and ended the call.

Chief Qian found it increasingly difficult to understand.

What on earth was Director Liang thinking? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Forget it, he was too lazy to think about it.

At any rate, he had told everything he needed to tell Liang Jianfeng.

He wasn't actually helping anyone in this matter.

Song Guanchao had reported to the police through proper channels, and there were no issues with his dispatch process.

...

After receiving the contact information for the two beaten young men, Ma Wenhui immediately called a number, delegating the task.

Soon, a middle-aged policeman arrived at the hospital, meeting the two young men in the ward.

"Xu Lei, Tao Yiran,"

"Arrested six months ago for brawling in a bar, detained for five days."

"Three months ago, detained for fifteen days for theft..."

This middle-aged policeman walked to the bedside, slightly raising his face, eyelids drooping, looking down on them as if eyeing two stray dogs by the roadside.

Even though he was simply recounting what the two young men had done, it made them feel the humiliation of being bullied by his gaze.

It seemed that, in his eyes, these two young social outcasts were not people of the same class as him.

Even if the two were not particularly perceptive, they could clearly sense the undisguised contempt in his tone and gaze.

They snorted and turned their heads in anger.

The middle-aged policeman squinted, suddenly turned around, and went to close the door.

Seeing this action, the two suddenly became a little flustered.

They weren't college students from an ivory tower; being on the edge of the law and dealing with the police frequently, they knew better than most that there were many unscrupulous people in the police force.

Especially to those like them, commonly known as "hooligans," the police have never shown a friendly face.

Slapping, kicking were common occurrences.

So, seeing his movement, the two reflexively sat up from the bed, looking at him in a panic.

"What are you doing?"

"This is a hospital!"

The middle-aged policeman sneered, tossing the black plastic bag in his hand onto the bed: "Take the money, and then go to the police station to withdraw the charges."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

The two looked down, seeing the cash rolling out of the plastic bag.

Not much, about twenty to thirty thousand.

Under normal circumstances, they would have agreed to the policeman's persuasion.

But today, they wanted to hold on to what little dignity they had.

"No!"

Hearing the obviously stubborn voice behind him, the middle-aged policeman slowly stopped.

His hand that grasped the doorknob slowly released.

He turned around, looked at the two, and said, "I'm not negotiating with you; I'm notifying you."

He raised his finger, gesturing at the two: "Don't waste time, get up and change clothes now, then go to the police station."

"This case was personally called out by the Director."

"He family is willing to pay, so just put the money in your pockets."

"Don't be ungrateful."

Their lips moved, still wanting to defend their dignity, but every word from the middle-aged policeman made them feel enormous pressure.

Personally called out by the Director...

Just this one sentence stopped them from daring to utter anything irrational.

The middle-aged policeman sneered again and left.

A few minutes after he left, one of the young men cursed quietly: "What's so great about him!"

The other young man said, "Yeah, what's there to be arrogant about! Even if it's the Director, he's still the one handing over money asking us to withdraw the charges."

They comforted themselves.

...

Chief Qian stayed at the police station, knowing this matter wasn't over yet.

If nothing unexpected happened, those two young men should come to withdraw the charges tonight.

Though Liang Jianfeng hadn't said anything, Chief Qian figured it out.

In this matter, he had to maintain his bottom line.

Sure enough, at eight-thirty in the evening, the two young men came.

Chief Qian stood at the door smoking, looked at them, and asked, "Why are you here instead of being in the hospital?"

They thought to themselves, isn't this just pretending, what's the point of this act?

But they still said: "We're here to withdraw the charges."

Chief Qian's face darkened: "Withdraw the charges, what charges?"

"About Zhou Xin from yesterday, it was a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Chief Qian said, "You reported it, and the case was filed. If you want to withdraw, I can only arrest you for making a false report."

"Think it over, before deciding to withdraw the charges."

They were a bit bewildered.

What's going on?

Wasn't it just a procedural thing?

Why are we facing arrest?

"Chief Qian, didn't you ask us to come over?"

"When did I ask you to come over?"

"I..."

Suddenly, they didn't know what to say.

Chief Qian asked, "Did someone come to find you?"

"Yes..."

Just nodding, the young man immediately shut up.

They suddenly realized that Chief Qian truly didn't know about this.

They felt very puzzled.

The other side was so confident, they thought it was just a matter of going through the motions.

But Chief Qian's reaction clearly indicated that the other side hadn't settled things with Chief Qian.

In their hearts, they cursed the policeman a thousand times over.

Internally, they hadn't even coordinated their stance, and they told us to come withdraw the charges? Withdraw, my ass!
