Chapter 241

Ji Chaoming was stunned on the spot; he admitted that he hadn't thought this matter through as clearly as Su Yang had described.

But regardless, there were truly only two choices placed before him: one was to call people to violently rescue Yu Wen, then kill Su Yang in the chaos and frame Yu Wen for it.

This looked like a perfect plan.

But this interrogation room was a blind spot; no matter how many people rushed in, Su Yang would likely strike first. Moreover, the most critical issue was: how many people did the Discipline Inspection Commission actually have? The ones who could truly handle these matters were the people Yu Wen brought—would they listen to his orders?

But if he followed what Su Yang said and kept waiting to waste time, he would inevitably offend Zhao Jidong and the people behind Yu Wen, and might even make Secretary Zhou dissatisfied. For a moment, he actually fell into a dilemma.

Seeing this, Su Yang continued, "Ji Chaoming, I know what you're thinking. I've already said you have no choice, and don't harbor any plans of going down together. As long as I have this human shield in front of me, I have enough ability to protect myself."

"As for you, it's the same thing: duty-related crime or scapegoat? You choose one."

"If you really can't choose, I'll tell you what to do. Slam your head hard against the table and knock yourself unconscious; then you won't know what happens afterward."

"When you wake up again, you can pretend you don't know anything and then frame me, saying it was me who knocked you out. This way, you can escape both the duty-related crime and the tragedy of being a scapegoat. I've already planned an exit for you. You decide how to choose."

After he finished speaking, the force with which he was strangling Yu Wen with the handcuffs relaxed slightly, and Yu Wen immediately let out a wheezing sound.

Ji Chaoming looked at Yu Wen, whose expression had turned purple-red due to oxygen deprivation, and fell into a stupor. He had to admit that his thinking had fallen into chaos at this moment, and he also had to admit that Su Yang's suggestion was quite reliable.

Just then, Yu Wen struggled and said, "Su Yang, what are you trying to do?"

"My people are all outside. Stop now, otherwise I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Before Yu Wen could finish his threatening words, Su Yang strangled him fiercely, and feeling that wasn't satisfying enough, he even pulled the handcuffs left and right.

A dark red mark was instantly pulled onto Yu Wen's neck, and blood flowed out along this red mark.

"Yu Wen, it's come to this point, and you still dare to threaten me? I really don't know who gave you the courage. It would be easy for me to kill you. Otherwise, you can try it."

"You probably still don't know who your master behind the scenes is, right? I can tell you it's Zhao Ruilong."

"At their level, you are nothing but a dog. No matter how this matter ends, you will be kicked away at any time. Are you still thinking about being a Bureau Chief? Go to hell with your pipe dreams."

However, just as he had victory in his grasp and thought he had manipulated Ji Chaoming and the others, he didn't expect Ji Chaoming to shout to the outside, "Everyone come in, Su Yang is violently resisting the law."

At his shout, the people who were originally outside all rushed in, but when they saw Yu Wen being held hostage, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Chang Wei, who was mixed in the crowd, shouted, "Are we, with so many people, afraid of just one person? If we rush up directly, we can't fail to take him down."

"Even if he is killed in the process, we won't have any responsibility. This is the same logic as a criminal being shot while escaping during transport."

Chang Wei knew very well at this moment that the effect of Su Yang's drug should be taking hold soon; as long as they swarmed him, Su Yang would definitely not be able to fend them off.

At this time, he still didn't understand what kind of drug Zhao Jidong had asked him to give Su Yang.

As for Yu Wen's life or death, he didn't care. In any case, in his view, his own future was the most important; it was better for a fellow traveler to die than for himself to suffer.

But the few special police officers who rushed in together stood where they were, not daring to move a single bit. If Su Yang were holding Ji Chaoming hostage at this time, they would have swarmed him long ago without the slightest hesitation.

But Su Yang's shrewdness lay right here; if it were really Ji Chaoming, Yu Wen would be the first to rush up.

As long as they stood off like this, as long as they continued to waste time, he would have a chance.

Ji Chaoming's face was livid. He said to the leading special police officer, "Bureau Chief Yu is in his hands. If you don't dare to take action directly, immediately find a way to get support. You absolutely cannot let him succeed; otherwise, it will be a disaster for all of us."

The leading special police officer heard this and frowned, saying, "This is not Jincheng County, but the city. If we want to call for people, I'm afraid we have to borrow them from the city."

"We don't have that ability. If we apply for support with great fanfare, it will definitely alert others."

Ji Chaoming said, "We can't worry about so much now. If you don't call for people, I will start applying to the higher-ups. In short, we must resolve this matter in the shortest possible time and cannot cause an impact."

In fact, he had already made a plan in his heart. That was to use the excuse of Su Yang violently resisting the law and holding a hostage to shoot Su Yang dead when necessary.

In this way, while completing the task, he would also completely resolve the future trouble.

The leading special police officer heard Ji Chaoming say this and could only say, "Fine, I'll find a way to get support, but before that, you cannot act recklessly."

"Otherwise, once anything happens, I'm afraid it won't be something we can bear."

Watching the various parties arguing, gaming, and struggling, Chang Wei was anxious to death. In his view, this was purely buying time for Su Yang. If Fang Jingwen and Zhou Ruohan really came back, everyone present would lose a layer of skin if they didn't die, and if they really kept standing like this, his plan would be hard to succeed.

Chang Wei stood to the side and said, "Leaders, I am also a member of the joint investigation team. In my view, blind compromise and forbearance are not the way."

"Su Yang is wearing handcuffs. I don't believe he can deal with so many of us. As long as we swarm him, can't we rescue Bureau Chief Yu?"

"Besides, if this matter gets out, where will we, the people of the Public Security Bureau, put our faces? And these are special police brothers who came. Can so many people not deal with one criminal who is violently resisting the law?"

After speaking, he took the lead and was about to rush up.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't set the pace, it wouldn't work; otherwise, this group of people wouldn't dare to go up at all. But with someone taking the lead, they would definitely go up because they had no choice.

As for the result afterward, he didn't need to consider that problem because that wasn't his business.

After speaking, he ignored the reactions of others and took the lead to rush up. However, he swung his fist, but before it reached Su Yang, he was kicked by Su Yang and flew backward.

Immediately, he let out a painful scream, "What are you all still stunned for? Do you really want to let him hold Bureau Chief Yu hostage and do whatever he wants? Do you really want to leave an impression of being incompetent in front of Secretary Zhou?"

Provoked by him, and with the atmosphere already built up to this point, the others couldn't stand still anymore. Some even pulled weapons from their waists, especially the leader, who even signaled a tactic to the others with his eyes, and then several people raised their police batons and rushed up.
