Chapter 1081

Yue Guoqiang looked at his daughter, and only after a long while did he smile bitterly.

"Zhou Andong has pinched my Achilles' heel, but whether this matter was done by him, we must give the common people an explanation, and it is also for his own reputation."

Yue Lei's face remained tense: "Do you think that with Zhou Andong's ability, if he really did it, would he let the other party grasp the handle?"

"I think so too." Yue Guoqiang nodded: "Therefore, I have already sent people to see Song Ziyi, but I haven't issued an order to arrest Zhou Andong."

"Ding-a-ling..."

Just as Yue Lei was about to say something, the phone on the desk rang, and Yue Guoqiang picked it up.

"I am Yue Guoqiang."

As soon as his voice fell, he stood up abruptly, his body standing straight.

"Understood... Yes... Please rest assured, Chief!"

Yue Lei frowned slightly; there was only one possibility that could make her father answer the phone like this; this call was made from inside the Forbidden City; could something big have happened?

Yue Guoqiang slowly put down the phone and then took a deep breath: "Now, even if Zhou Andong arranges for 15,000 people, it won't work; he must be arrested."

Yue Lei pointed upwards: "Made from there?"

Yue Guoqiang nodded: "Made from the old man's office."

Yue Lei gasped: "For such a small matter, how could he pay attention to it."

Yue Guoqiang pondered for a while: "It shouldn't be paying attention to this matter, but paying attention to Zhou Andong."

Yue Lei said without understanding: "Then why would he order the arrest of Zhou Andong?"

Yue Guoqiang sat down, took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it while pondering, and then with a pop, threw the lighter on the table.

"It might be a test."

"A test?" Yue Lei didn't understand even more: "A test to see if it was done by Zhou Andong?"

"No!" Yue Guoqiang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desktop: "Actually, whether this matter was done by Zhou Andong is not important to the old man.

Young people, who doesn't have a bit of temper; you made me angry, so I beat you up; in the old man's eyes, it's not a matter at all. So I'm pondering, it's the old man wanting to take advantage of the outbreak of public opinion to test him, to see if he has the ability to solve this crisis."

Yue Lei frowned: "What if he can't solve it?"

"It doesn't matter if he can't solve it." Yue Guoqiang took a puff of the cigarette and brought the ashtray in front of him to flick the ash: "The old man might be a little disappointed, and his expectations of him will be lowered."

Yue Lei said worriedly: "If so, will the higher-ups..."

"No." Yue Guoqiang shook his head: "Zhou Andong's patriotic heart and his ambition to serve the country have been enough to prove it during this period of time. Even if he cannot solve this crisis, the higher-ups will find a way to help him."

Yue Lei breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Yue Guoqiang shook his head imperceptibly; things were not as simple as Yue Lei thought.

No matter what method Zhou Andong uses, as long as he can perfectly solve the crisis, he will be equivalent to wearing a golden body.

Even in some sensitive areas, he can insert a foot. As long as he doesn't court death, no one can move him.

If he cannot solve the crisis, there won't be any big problems either. But no matter how much money he earns in the future, he can only be an ordinary businessman.

Yue Guoqiang grabbed the phone and wanted to call the Yangcheng Municipal Bureau, but after pressing two numbers, he put the phone down again.

Now Zhou Andong is in Yangcheng, and there must be investment projects; Yangcheng might not necessarily cooperate, and might even tip off Zhou Andong.

"Pop, pop, pop..."

The office door was knocked; Yue Guoqiang shouted: "Come in."

The door opened, and a young man in a police uniform walked in, smiling when he saw Yue Lei.

"Sister Lei is here too."

"I'm looking for Old Yue for something; you guys talk." Yue Lei stood up with a smile and walked out of the office, closing the office door on the way.

"How is it?" Yue Guoqiang asked.

The young man said in a deep voice: "Song Ziyi has disappeared; he was discharged three days ago, and he doesn't have a temporary residence."

"Missing?" Yue Guoqiang's expression became gloomy.

The young man shook his head: "Whether he hid himself or had an accident, it's hard to say."

Yue Guoqiang paced back and forth; when public opinion is so serious, this Song Ziyi actually disappeared?

If something really happened, Zhou Andong would really be in trouble, and all fingers would point to him.

As the saying goes, public opinion is fearsome, especially in this form now; once public opinion is driven by one voice, even if it is proven later that Zhou Andong is innocent, there will still be doubts in the hearts of the common people, and even decades later, some people will remember it and it will be dug up.

"Immediately organize police force to investigate Song Ziyi's whereabouts; dead or alive, he must be found."

"Yes!" The young man saluted and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Yue Guoqiang emphasized with a gloomy expression: "Must do a good job in confidentiality."

"Understood!" The young man nodded and walked away quickly.

Yue Guoqiang pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed the Yangcheng Municipal Bureau; he must take action against Zhou Andong.

Because this is also a kind of protection for him; once the news of Song Ziyi's disappearance leaks, the police can announce that Zhou Andong has been controlled.

In this way, even if some people make trouble, it will be greatly discounted, and their police force will also be much easier in the face of public opinion.

………………

The public opinion against Zhou Andong for ordering his subordinates to beat up a Chinese merchant was surging and dangerous. One wave higher than another, it could swallow Zhou Andong at any time.

However, Yangcheng seemed to have become another world; except for the Youth Daily, the front-page headlines of other media were occupied by the case of a vendor violently resisting law enforcement.

And what Zhou Andong said in response to the reporter's interview at the branch bureau caused discussion and heated debate among the general public.

Vendors and law enforcers are inherently in an antagonistic relationship, and a conflict occurred, resulting in the serious consequence of one death and two injuries.

After this incident was reported, it shocked everyone; since the founding of the country, such cases have been very rare.

At first, all public opinion supported severely punishing the vendor; in the inherent thinking of the people in this era.

Debts must be repaid, and murder must be paid for with life; it is a matter of course, not to mention that you are violently resisting law enforcement, and the degree of heinousness is too numerous to record.

However, once Zhou Andong's remarks were reported, it shocked the whole of Yangcheng.

That's right, violently resisting law enforcement; the premise is, is it illegal for a vendor couple to set up a stall to make a living?

Do the law enforcement officers on the scene have the status of state organ staff or staff with an establishment?

Before violently resisting law enforcement, was there violent law enforcement?

Peddlers and hawkers are legitimate professions that have existed since ancient times; who has the power to deprive them of their right to survive?

Does the urban management system want to make the common people happier or more miserable?

Do the rule makers want to make this society more harmonious or more tragic?

Several questions in a row, not only ordinary people, but even a large number of legal workers were thinking.
