Chapter 4770
"What are you doing?" Zhao Desan suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind him. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform standing behind them with two officers, looking at them with hostility. Zhao Desan heard one of the police officers call him Director Wang, and he thought this person might be the police station director. Since there was more than one police station in the jurisdiction, Zhao Desan, as the acting District Head, was several levels above a director and couldn't possibly know everyone. He didn't know this Director Wang, and it seemed this Director Wang didn't know him either.
"What are you few doing?" Director Wang glanced at the camera in Sun Xiaoqin's hand and questioned them aggressively.
Zhao Desan knew that in sensitive matters like petitioning, the police were most wary of being photographed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block Sun Xiaoqin and explained with a smile, "Oh, they are my friends, here to sightsee at the district's wetland reserve." Sun Xiaoqin was quite sharp and quietly tucked the camera into her backpack.
But before Sun Xiaoqin could hide the camera, another police officer with a face full of fat immediately spotted her small movement with sharp eyes. He stepped forward, grabbed the backpack, and shouted, "Director, she's taking pictures!"
The director surnamed Wang's face changed immediately upon hearing this, and he shouted sternly, "Hand over the camera, and I'll let you go!"
"No!" Relying on Zhao Desan being by her side, Sun Xiaoqin was not afraid at all. She met Director Wang's fierce gaze and said unyieldingly, "If you treat the common people like this, I'll expose you!"
My goodness! Zhao Desan was simply speechless. With Sun Xiaoqin saying that, wouldn't he be in the same boat as them? His identity as the acting District Head could not be exposed in front of these police officers. If it were spread around that a dignified acting District Head was colluding to expose the district's petitioning incident, could he still be elected District Head at the People's Congress? Only if the sun rose in the west! Depressed, extremely depressed!
Director Wang had also only recently taken office in the district. He had received a call from the Bureau Chief, Huang Feng, and had brought people here. Seeing this chaotic scene, he was unhappy. If he couldn't handle the textile factory workers' petitioning well today, he would likely be scolded by Huang Feng. And these two strange girls were actually sneaking photos of the police violently driving away the petitioners; they might be reporters from some media outlet. Once this matter was publicized, his career as a director would likely be over.
Thinking of this, Director Wang said viciously, "Don't think being a reporter makes you special! You reporters only cause trouble for the government and the country. Arrest them!"
"Run!" Seeing the situation was bad, Zhao Desan rushed forward and pushed away the police officer who was grabbing Sun Xiaoqin's backpack. "Run quickly!" Zhao Desan pushed Sun Xiaoqin. Sun Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then took advantage of the chaos to run out. The other police officer saw this and hurriedly chased after her.
Zhao Desan suddenly came to his senses at this moment, knowing that he absolutely could not expose his identity now. If Sister Wu knew he was wandering around the district with two young girls, the consequences would be unimaginable. He prepared to use the "thirty-six stratagems, running away is best," but just as he was about to run, he suddenly heard a girl's scream from behind. He hurriedly turned his head and discovered that Director Wang had already grabbed the panicked Tongtong.
"Let her go! This has nothing to do with her!" Zhao Desan shouted at Director Wang in his anxiety.
"Young man, you stay right where you are!" Director Wang grabbed Tongtong's arm with one hand and held a baton in the other. He saw that Zhao Desan was very concerned about Tongtong, so he knew that as long as he caught this girl, the other one wouldn't be able to run away either.
