Chapter 4771

Just at this moment, reinforcements arrived. More than twenty joint defense team members wearing red armbands ran over and began to drive away the petitioning crowd. Shouts and cries rose one after another, and for a time, everything was in chaos. After a while, the twenty-some petitioners were dispersed.

Zhao Desan and Tongtong were each twisted by two joint defense team members. With his skills, taking down a few joint defense team members would be a piece of cake, but at this moment, he told himself he must remain calm and restrained. If the matter escalated, it would only make the result worse. In the end, they could only be sent to the nearby police station.

As soon as Zhao Desan and Tongtong were sent into the interrogation room, the door was closed. Four joint defense team members and one police officer surrounded Zhao Desan. Zhao Desan saw the police officer he had pushed away earlier staring at him viciously. Suddenly, the officer swung the baton in his hand and hit Zhao Desan's head hard. Zhao Desan hurriedly blocked it with his hand. Only a 'bang' was heard, and a piercing pain came from his left arm, bypassing his central nervous system, and his entire left arm immediately went limp and lost sensation. Immediately after, his back was hit, making him stagger.

"Brother Desan!" Tongtong, who was next to him, saw Zhao Desan being hit and rushed up, hugging him. With a tearful voice, she said indignantly, "How can you just hit people! Are you bandits or police!" As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

"Get lost, or I'll deal with you too!" The police officer sneered, shaking the baton in his hand, while the other four joint defense team members laughed out loud on the side.

Just at this moment, the interrogation room door opened, and a police officer walked in and said to this officer, "Xiao Li, Director Wang is calling you."

"Wait until I'm done with my business, then I'll come back to deal with you!" The police officer surnamed Li left a harsh threat and turned to leave.

"You guys come with me too, there's a task immediately," the incoming police officer said to the four joint defense team members, and the four followed him out.

Zhao Desan watched these people leave before he started rubbing his arm and grimacing in pain, saying "Ouch."

"Brother Desan, does it hurt?" Tongtong looked at the large red and swollen patch on Zhao Desan's left arm and asked with heartache.

Zhao Desan squeezed out a smile, pretended to be nonchalant, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing."

"Brother Desan, you are a big leader in the district, how dare they arrest you too?" Tongtong's nervous mood finally relaxed at this moment, and she looked at Zhao Desan, confused, and asked.

"These people below don't recognize me, and I was wandering around the district with you two little girls today. If it gets out, they'll say I have issues with my lifestyle. I can't expose my identity," Zhao Desan explained truthfully while frowning and rubbing his still-numb arm.

Hearing Zhao Desan's words, Tongtong said with self-reproach, "Brother Desan, I'm sorry, it's all because we caused you trouble."

"It's nothing," Zhao Desan said, squeezing out a bit of a smile.

"Where do you think Xiaoqin is now? Will she be in danger?" Tongtong thought of Sun Xiaoqin, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Xiaoqin is sharp, she definitely won't have any problems," Zhao Desan comforted Tongtong, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel secretly anxious. The development of today's events was truly beyond his expectations. He thought that if anything happened to Sun Xiaoqin today, he would never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.

Seeing that it was already past four in the afternoon, the entire police station was quiet. Zhao Desan hadn't eaten since his morning meal, and his stomach was growling with hunger. Looking at Tongtong lying on the interrogation table, looking listless, he also felt very anxious.

"Huluwa, Huluwa..." At this moment, a phone ringtone suddenly broke the silence of the interrogation room. Zhao Desan heard it was his own phone ringing and hurriedly took it out of his pants pocket. When he saw the caller ID on the phone, he frowned tightly. The call was from Wu Min. He held the phone, not knowing whether to answer or not, his heart filled with anxiety, thinking, Damn it, what should I do now!

Listening to the relentless phone ringtone, he finally gritted his teeth, pressed the green answer button, and immediately changed to a respectful tone, saying with a smile, "Hello, Sister Wu, do you have something for me?"

"Did you know that Xu Jun from the textile factory brought people to the District Committee to petition again just now?" As soon as the call connected, Wu Min got straight to the point.

"I... I don't know," Zhao Desan feigned ignorance.

Wu Min softened her tone and said, "But fortunately, the group Xu Jun organized today wasn't large. Director Hou has already arranged for the police station to drive them away."

"That's good, that's good," Zhao Desan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile.

"What's good about it?" Wu Min's tone became serious again. "The People's Congress is about to be held. If the textile factory's problem still can't be solved, they will definitely petition again. If the media uses this to make a big deal out of it and exposes it, how can the People's Congress be held? The most urgent task now is to quickly find an enterprise willing to intervene in the textile factory. How is that matter going?"

"I've been busy with this all day. I checked the enterprises that have settled in the district and am currently contacting their heads one by one. There should be results very soon," Zhao Desan hurriedly lied to appease Wu Min, thinking that at this time, he absolutely could not let Wu Min know he was still staying at the police station. A dignified acting District Head being caught at the police station would be a laughingstock if it got out.

"That's good. You hurry up. If any enterprise wants to take over, contact me immediately. Remember to show some leadership courage, find an enterprise to take over as soon as possible, and resolve the textile factory's funding gap first," Wu Min instructed. Increasing shares and such were all subsequent matters. Right now, Wu Min just wanted to find an enterprise in the district to provide some money to resolve the textile factory employees' wage problem so that the People's Congress could be held smoothly.

"Yes, okay, Sister Wu, I understand," Zhao Desan hurriedly nodded and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Desan saw Tongtong still lying listlessly and sorrowfully on the interrogation table, so he walked up and said softly, "Tongtong, if you're sleepy, just rest there for a while." Looking at the little girl's pitiful appearance, Zhao Desan felt very heartbroken, thinking that she must have been brought to the police station for the first time, and he couldn't help but worry that it would leave a shadow in her heart.

"Hmm..." Tongtong came to her senses, looked at Zhao Desan, nodded gently, lay on the table, and closed her eyes.
