Chapter 468

Regardless of whether Li Yongyuan truly has hemorrhoids or falsely claims to have them, at this moment Guo Lichun suddenly feels he is a professional butt‑wiper, one butt not wiped clean, another comes.

Madam Huang is under Fan Donglin's control; this matter is already thorny!

Now the Zheng father and son have been arrested again, which is like adding frost to snow!

This is unbelievable—who exactly arrested the Zheng father and son? The Haishan Public Security Bureau certainly wouldn't dare act recklessly; could it be the Provincial Department?

These series of questions weighed on Guo Lichun's heart, making him anxious and tormented.

Because Yu Huacheng's eyes were fixed on him, whispering was impossible, and there was currently no chance to inquire about the details of the Zheng father and son's arrest.

Guo Lichun steeled himself and decided to cut the Gordian knot swiftly!

First, place Fan Donglin under control on kidnapping charges to eliminate external threats; after the meeting disperses, we will then handle the Zheng father and son's case.

Having thought this through in silence.

Guo Lichun suppressed his tumultuous emotions, acted as if nothing were wrong, calmly glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed his gaze on Yu Huacheng.

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Guo Lichun deliberately skipped the embarrassing hemorrhoid issue and went straight to the core problem.

He emphasized with conviction: "The case of Madam Huang's disappearance is heinous and has extremely bad influence! A living person was just taken away in broad daylight, with no word since!"

The further he spoke, the more indignant Guo Lichun's tone became, bursting with a heart‑wrenching heaviness! Each word was forceful, spittle flying.

It was as if the missing person were his own mother!

Um……

Treating every member of the public as one's own mother, always keeping them in mind, is the first lesson in "On Cadres' Self‑Cultivation," whose author is Guo Lichun's imagined Guo Jujú.

"If anything happens to Madam Huang, I ask everyone here: who can bear this responsibility?!"

Saying this, Guo Lichun slapped the table with a palm.

With a loud bang.

Shocking the entire audience!

Of course, Guo Lichun's true target to shock was Comrade Yu Huacheng, hoping Yu would sensibly shut his mouth and not overstep his bounds!

However……

Old Yu is also not a fuel‑saving lamp.

Back when he first arrived, he had no allies, no trump cards, a lone commander—he could only tuck his tail and act like a grandson! Times have changed; now that he can advance an inch, what reason is there to retreat three feet?

Thus he gave a faint smile: "Don't get so fired up; let's speak calmly. You keep insisting Fan Donglin kidnapped Madam Huang and seized people—surely you must have evidence?"

"If there's no evidence, could I bring it up at the meeting? The evidence is right here!"

After Guo Lichun finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to Li Yongyuan.

He threw a task at Li Yongyuan: "Deputy Mayor Li, I don't care whether your hemorrhoids hurt or not—please stand up and explain to Secretary Yu how Madam Huang went missing!"

"Hmm."

His butt had barely touched the seat for less than three seconds when Li Yongyuan obediently stood up again.

Saying he feels no pressure would be false.

Upon thinking of the Zheng father and son's arrest, Li Yongyuan felt apprehensive; he steadied himself and adopted a professional, stern "law enforcer" demeanor.

He introduced the case to those present:

"Regarding Madam Huang's sudden disappearance, our City Bureau has been conducting investigations and covert inquiries. Now we have sufficient evidence proving that Fan Donglin indeed kidnapped Madam Huang."

Having said that, Li Yongyuan gestured to the nearby staff to display the evidence materials.

Everything is going according to plan.

Soon after.

The conference room's large screen suddenly lit up, displaying two sets of surveillance photos.

First set of photos:

A Rolls‑Royce entered Huang Village, its license plate clearly visible; the vehicle belongs to Zhengtong Capital and is Fan Dongfan's dedicated car.

Second set of photos:

The same Rolls‑Royce arrived at the underground parking lot of Hai'an Guoji Dajiudian; due to the angle, the front of the person getting out cannot be seen.

Only a figure resembling Madam Huang can be seen being escorted out of the car.

Li Yongyuan pointed at the two sets of photos and emphasized: "These evidences clearly show that on the day Madam Huang disappeared, Fan Donglin personally went to Huang Village. The person escorted to Hai'an Guoji Dajiudian is Madam Huang."

Having said that, Li Yongyuan glanced at Yu Huacheng's reaction.

Seeing Yu Huacheng smile without speaking.

It seemed he was dissatisfied!

Li Yongyuan then picked up the earlier statement document and had the staff hand it to Yu Huacheng for review.

While Yu Huacheng was perusing the statement.

Li Yongyuan then emphasized with conviction: "This is the testimony of Huang Village villagers gathered during our investigation. Many villagers personally saw Madam Huang being taken away by Fan Donglin and can bear witness."

"Comrade Yongyuan, don't arbitrarily pin a baseless charge."

Yu Huacheng merely glanced at it casually, gave a faint smile, and directly tossed the statement aside.

He calmly reminded Li Yongyuan: "These statements indicate that villagers said Fan Donglin took Madam Huang away, and some even said he fetched her. No one said Fan Donglin used forcible binding or similar measures to abduct her; labeling his act as kidnapping may be overly harsh, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yongyuan furrowed his brows and turned to look at Guo Lichun.

Guo Lichun gave a cold, light chuckle: "Secretary Yu, must one use forcible means to abduct someone for it to be kidnapping? If Fan Dongfan lured Madam Huang into the car by deception and then restricted her personal freedom to threaten Huanghai, would that not be kidnapping? What would you call it? I'm all ears."

As soon as his words fell, everyone present focused their gaze on Yu Huacheng.

Someone secretly broke into a cold sweat for Yu Huacheng.

Others secretly chuckled: "Tiger, still the local tough guy!" It seemed the outcome was decided, as if Guo Lichun had already raised his hand and struck down Yu Huacheng.

Those who gloated at his misfortune, however, did not know……

Yu Huacheng glanced over the entire crowd, noting every person's expression and reaction; he had been waiting for this moment for Along time, just wanting to see how many people were still standing on Guo Lichun's side.

Excellent!

Those who remained silent outnumbered those who wore sneers; the situation had improved. This showed that most comrades still had clear heads, having already keenly sensed the shift in the wind.

Yu Huacheng noted the faces of those few idiots.

Calmly, he produced a USB drive from the transcript: "Since you insist on suspecting Fan Donglin of kidnapping, I can only ask you to watch this video."

This tiny USB drive made Guo Lichun's heartstrings tighten.

Guo Lichun cautiously asked: "Secretary Yu, what video is this?"

"You'll know once you watch it."

Yu Huacheng reached out and handed the USB drive to the nearby staff member.

When the video played on the conference room's large screen, the atmosphere in the entire room instantly grew extremely solemn.

It was as if a heavyweight nuclear bomb had fallen from the sky.

A tremendous boom!

It blasted Guo Lichun, Li Yongyuan, and the other local faction members as if they were sitting on pins and needles, cold sweat breaking out across their backs! Nobody had expected that Yu Huacheng had held back a trick!

To be precise…

Just now, Yu Huacheng had been watching them like clowns, observing their clumsy performance.
