Chapter 1403: Director Yu is failing fast!

~8 min read 1,413 words

The next morning, Yu Jian'an picked up his phone and saw an unread text message.

"Director Yu, Boss Xu was taken away by the Xiyang City police last night. Can you think of a way to help?"

This text message was sent by Boss Xu's assistant!

While driving, he dialed his father Yu Jing's number.

While driving, he dialed his father Yu Jing's mobile phone.

Yu Jing was somewhat surprised to receive Yu Jian'an's call. "What is it?"

Yu Jian'an's tone was unsteady. "Dad, are you at home? I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Jing frowned slightly: "I am at home, come over!"

About an hour later, Yu Jian'an walked into the house.

Yu Jing was sitting on the balcony brewing tea and pointed to the seat on the right. "Sit!"

Yu Jian'an sat down, feeling uneasy.

Yu Jing handed him a cup of hot tea. "Speak, what happened?"

Yu Jian'an took the teacup, wearing a mournful face, and said, "Dad, you must help me!"

Yu Jing sighed. "If you want me to help you, you must at least tell me what exactly happened, right?"

Yu Jian'an took a deep breath. "I made some private investments on the side. My partner ran into trouble and was taken away by the Xiyang police."

Yu Jing suppressed the anger in his heart: "What kind of business did you invest in?"

Yu Jian'an smiled bitterly. "I invested in the pharmaceutical business. Recently, there has been a high demand for epidemic prevention drugs in the market. He brought in drugs through certain channels and sold them in major pharmacies in Xiyang. Who knew this batch of drugs would fail quality inspections and be reported by others."

Yu Jing slapped the table angrily. "The matter is definitely not as simple as you say!

I have heard for some time that recently, some unscrupulous merchants have been taking advantage of the situation to drive up prices and sell fake medicine. I didn't expect this to actually involve you.

As a National Public Servant, you take a government salary, yet you think of taking advantage of a disaster to make a fortune. Your actions are truly despicable!"

Yu Jing's wife had been paying attention to the conversation between the two men. Seeing the situation change, she hurriedly walked over and persuaded, "Old Yu, things have reached this point, and the child knows he was wrong. Just think of a way to help him."

Yu Jian'an fell to his knees with a thud. "Dad, I really know I was wrong. Only you can help me now. Zheng Shaokang is in charge of this case. He was recommended by you when he was promoted to Deputy County Magistrate back then. If you plead with him, he will definitely help."

Yu Jing sighed helplessly, picked up his phone, and dialed Zheng Shaokang's number.

Zheng Shaokang answered the phone quickly.

"Xiao Zheng, this is Yu Jing!"

"Director Yu, what can I do for you?"

"I heard that a boss surnamed Xu was arrested yesterday on suspicion of selling fake medicine. I wanted to ask you about the specific situation."

Zheng Shaokang paused for a moment. "Director Yu, you are my old superior, and I have always been grateful for your promotion of me back then. I understand the intention of your call, but it is not convenient for me to disclose the details of the case. I sincerely advise your son to wake up early and turn back before it is too late."

Having said that, Zheng Shaokang hung up the phone.

Yu Jing put down the phone, looked at his son with cold eyes, and sighed deeply. "Son, Dad hasn't had many extravagant demands for you in this life; I only hope you conduct yourself with integrity.

However, you have disappointed me greatly.

Although Zheng Shaokang didn't reveal too much to me, I can be certain that the case involving this man surnamed Xu is definitely not as simple as selling fake medicine. You are still not being honest enough with me."

Yu Jian'an steeled his heart and gritted his teeth. "It might be related to the water conservancy project his company undertook!"

Yu Jing widened his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So that's it! In the end, you still embarked on the path of corruption! Do you know how much loss and harm your actions have caused to Xiyang and Yechuan?"

Yu Jian'an lowered his head. "Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! But I'm not the only one who took bribes!"

Yu Jing stood up abruptly, kicked Yu Jian'an in the chest, and roared furiously, "Can a single 'I know I was wrong' wipe away all your faults? I saw with my own eyes people being swept away by floodwaters during flood control, and I saw countless houses destroyed by the floods. Although you didn't kill anyone or set fires, your behavior is even more despicable than those thugs!"

His wife saw Yu Jing attacking their son and hurriedly urged, "Your father is in a bad mood right now. When his anger subsides, I will help you persuade him again."

Yu Jing raged, "Wanting me to help you is simply wishful thinking! I am calling the Discipline Inspection Commission right now!"

Yu Jing picked up his phone.

Yu Jian'an knew Yu Jing was capable of doing it, so he rushed over to stop him!

"Dad, have you gone mad? You are actually going to report your own son. Even a tiger does not eat its cubs; I am your own son!"

Yu Jing sneered. "I, Yu Jing, have been an honest official my whole life; how did I give birth to a degenerate like you? Today, I am going to clean house!"

Facing a father who disregarded family affection, the emotions Yu Jian'an had suppressed in his heart for many years erupted at this moment!

"Ever since I can remember, I have lived in your shadow! Everyone thinks that because I am your son, Yu Jing, I have my current achievements. No matter how hard I try, I can never meet your requirements. In your eyes, everything I do is wrong; I am forever your failed work!"

Yu Jing scolded, "Wicked son! Let go!"

Yu Jian'an successfully snatched the phone, shoved Yu Jing away, and removed the battery. "Dad, you are old; you should face reality. If the Yu family wants to prosper, it must be through me."

Yu Jing lost his balance, fell directly to the floor, and hit his forehead on the coffee table, immediately bleeding from the wound.

His wife rushed over to support Yu Jing and complained, "Jian'an, how could you lay a hand on your father!"

Yu Jian'an's face was deathly pale, and he said in a despondent manner, "Mom, I truly feel sorry for you. From childhood to now, you and Dad don't seem like a married couple; you are more like his servant. He has never stepped into the kitchen, and whenever he is in a bad mood, he takes it out on you. A person like this only has power in his eyes and doesn't care about his family at all."

His wife noticed Yu Jian'an trembling with rage and couldn't say a word!

She completely collapsed at this moment.

"Son, you should leave quickly; I have to call an ambulance. Your father is failing fast!!!"

Yu Jian'an saw his father's eyes tightly shut, felt terrified and uneasy, and quickly turned around and rushed out.

His wife picked up the landline and dialed 120.

The ambulance drove into the County Party Committee Compound, attracting many onlookers.

"Why did an ambulance come to our compound?"

"It seems Director Yu fainted!"

"What's the reason?"

"I heard Director Yu and his son had a violent argument!"

Yu Jian'an drove out of the County Party Committee Compound, heading toward the expressway toll station.

As soon as the sedan drove out of the toll station, two police cars blocked the front of his vehicle.

A Police Officer walked over and flashed a Police Officer ID.

"We are Police from the Yechuan County Public Security Bureau! You are Yu Jian'an, right? We have received notice from our superiors and need you to assist in the investigation of a case. Please get out of the car now!"

Yu Jian'an slapped the steering wheel in anger, his mouth full of fury and unwillingness!
