Chapter 2572: 2593: Panic

2593: Panic

At the Qinghe Branch, Huang Youmin stood in front of his office window, looking out with a deep frown. The cigarette held in his hand had burned more than halfway, but he hadn't taken a single puff. Zhou Andong's driver and bodyguard had been detained by him and were still squatting in the detention room.

According to common sense, even if Zhou Andong didn't come forward personally, he would have his secretary or someone else contact him to ask about the situation. At that time, he would naturally put forward conditions.

But Zhou Andong didn't play according to common sense, and things didn't develop as he had imagined, which made his heart feel a bit panicked. Originally, he had treated Wang Wentian and the other two as chips in his hand, but now they were very likely to become bombs.

"Damn Zhou Andong." Huang Youmin cursed resentfully, and then took a fierce puff of his cigarette: "Isn't it good to be your local emperor at Yugong Group? Why do you have to come to the Woolen Mill to stir things up?"

"Damn it!"

Huang Youmin cursed again, pacing back and forth in the office. It took a long time before he stopped, raised his head to look at the quartz clock on the wall, and it was already past three in the afternoon.

Huang Youmin turned and sat down in his chair, reached out to grab the phone on the desk, and started dialing the number. But after dialing a few digits, he put the receiver down again, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

He thought that since Zhou Andong wouldn't find him, he would find Zhou Andong. But after dialing a few numbers, he felt that if he took the initiative to find Zhou Andong and the other party didn't agree to his conditions, then there would really be no way out. Either soften up and release the people, or fight Zhou Andong to the end.

But neither of these two paths was what he wanted to take. Softening up to Zhou Andong and releasing the people was very simple. However, he hadn't solved the problem. Those people who bought Woolen Mill jobs through him and were now wanted would definitely be angry and bite him out.

He didn't know if those people who bought jobs and ate empty salaries and were wanted would have any trouble in the end, but he would definitely have trouble. Over these years, how much had he taken that he shouldn't have? If it wasn't investigated, there would be no problem, but once investigated, it could make him sit in prison until the bottom rotted.

As for fighting Zhou Andong, it was even less what he wanted. He had the guts to detain Wang Wentian and the other two and pull teeth from Zhou Andong's mouth, mainly based on some unspoken rules within the system.

Give each other face, everyone lifts the sedan chair for each other. Revoking a few wanted orders was just a word from Zhou Andong, and releasing Wang Wentian and the other two was just a word from him. Both sides take a step back, give each other face, laugh it off, and the matter is solved. There was no need to fight to the death.

There was also the interest group behind him, which gave him the courage to pull teeth from Zhou Andong's mouth. But to be honest, if he really had to face Zhou Andong head-on, he didn't have enough confidence.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Huang Youmin, who was thinking about things, was startled and his face became very ugly, so he reached out to pick up the phone. Before he could speak, a woman's roar came from the receiver.

"Huang Youmin, what on earth are you doing?" The woman's roar impacted Huang Youmin's eardrums: "The Woolen Mill has posted a reward announcement. As long as you provide clues and catch someone, you get a reward of 5,000 to 10,000.

Today, more than ten people have been caught, and my son is among them. If you can't get my son out, I will definitely go to jail with my son."

Huang Youmin was so angry he wanted to curse. When he bought the job from me, he almost called me dad, but now that trouble has occurred, he blames all the responsibility on me. Does he really think I, Huang Youmin, am easy to bully?

Huang Youmin was very angry, but that was just being angry. He had to explain to the other party with a gentle tone; otherwise, if the other party really wanted to break the fish and break the net and expose the fact that he took money to help buy Woolen Mill jobs, he would really be finished.

"Sister Bai, don't be angry first. I already know about this matter. Please rest assured, I will definitely get your son out."

Hearing Huang Youmin's words, Sister Bai's anger dissipated quite a bit: "How long?"

Huang Youmin cursed in his heart, but his mouth remained gentle: "Within a week, your son will definitely be able to go home."

"Good!" Sister Bai's tone also softened: "I will believe you one more time."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

A busy signal came from the receiver. Huang Youmin slowly put down the phone, picked up the cigarette on the desk, lit it, took a fierce puff, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke.

Time passed bit by bit. Huang Youmin smoked seven or eight cigarettes in a row. Seeing that it was almost five o'clock and the time to get off work was approaching, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He pressed the cigarette butt fiercely into the ashtray and picked up the phone to dial a number.

Zhou Andong had done things too absolutely. The temptation of a 5,000-yuan reward was something no one could refuse. Sister Bai's son was caught today, tomorrow it might be Sister Liu's son, and the day after it would be Sister Zhang's son.

Therefore, he couldn't wait any longer, and he couldn't hesitate any longer. Once those people associated with him were caught, the price to get them out would be too high, and he wasn't willing to bear it.

Therefore, he had to have a showdown with Zhou Andong. Even if it meant tearing his face, he had to solve the matter. Otherwise, he would fall into big trouble. He didn't believe that Zhou Andong didn't have any handles in the hands of his driver and bodyguard.

"Who is this!" The phone was connected, and Zhou Andong's lazy voice came through.

"Factory Director Zhou!" Huang Youmin's face was immediately piled with smiles: "I am Huang Youmin from the branch. I am calling you today..."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Huang Youmin stared blankly at the phone in his hand. He had thought of every situation when calling Zhou Andong, even being cursed by Zhou Andong, but he never thought that Zhou Andong would hang up the phone. He was directly ignored.

"Fuck!" Huang Youmin cursed fiercely. Ever since he became the deputy director of the police station, he had never been ignored like this. But even if he was angry to death, he still had to call Zhou Andong next, because if the matter wasn't solved, it was a hurdle he couldn't pass.

The phone was dialed again and again, but Zhou Andong never answered. Huang Youmin still dialed persistently. Finally, when he dialed for the twenty-sixth time, the phone went through, but a woman's voice came through.

"Hello, I am Dong Wenjuan, secretary to Factory Director Zhou. May I ask what is the matter?"

"..."

Huang Youmin cursed again in his heart. I have been calling you again and again, and you actually left?

"Secretary Dong!" Huang Youmin took a deep breath, trying to make his voice as peaceful as possible: "I am Huang Youmin from the district branch. May I ask where Factory Director Zhou has gone?"

"It's past five o'clock, of course the factory director is off work, where else could he go?" Dong Wenjuan snorted: "If you have anything, I can pass it on. If not, I am going off work too."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The familiar busy signal sounded in his ears again. Huang Youmin's eyes were about to split, and he was trembling with anger. Being hung up on by Zhou Andong was one thing, but a little secretary also dared to give him a cold face and hang up on him. This was unbearable.

"Bang!"

Huang Youmin slammed the phone down and walked out angrily. At this moment, he was very angry, really very angry. An evil fire was rising in his body, and no matter what, he couldn't suppress it, so he had to find a place to vent the evil fire in his body; otherwise, he would definitely be burned by this evil fire. ===== CHAPTER 2573 =====
