Chapter 1475: Discussing Countermeasures

Zhang Shiming and Zhang Shiqing came to Ren Guisheng's office together and requested to see Ren Guisheng. Ren Guisheng was also originally receiving a cadre, but upon hearing that the Zhang brothers had come to see him together, he felt that they probably had some major matter to report, so he let that cadre leave first and received the Zhang brothers.

After hearing about this shocking matter that Zhang Shiqing told him, Ren Guisheng couldn't help but change color. He asked Zhang Shiqing in a deep voice: "Is what you said true? Did they really do such a wicked thing? Did that girl really commit suicide?"

Zhang Shiqing nodded and said, "Yes, she really committed suicide, and my Xiaomeng has already been arrested by the Public Security Bureau."

Ren Guisheng naturally knew what Zhang Shiqing meant by saying this to him. But it would have been better if Zhang Shiqing hadn't mentioned it; the moment he mentioned Zhang Meng, Ren Guisheng was furious. If it weren't for your Zhang Meng leading my Ren Hualin astray, he wouldn't have committed such a major crime.

However, at this moment, Ren Guisheng naturally couldn't say that directly. After all, they are all in the same boat now. If Zhang Meng can't get out of this, then the four who were with him won't be able to either. Ren Guisheng was thinking nervously about countermeasures.

If they want to hide this matter, it might not be possible. Zhang Meng has already been arrested, and the confession has already been given. There are also not a few people who saw Ren Hualin and the other four at the time; it is impossible to block so many people's mouths.

Moreover, this matter happened in Changshan County, and the two main leaders of Changshan County are both at odds with him, Ren Guisheng. Wanting them to help him cover it up is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Ren Guisheng pondered for a long time, and Zhang Shiming and Zhang Shiqing didn't dare to urge him. Now Ren Guisheng is their greatest reliance; wanting to let their sons escape this great disaster depends mainly on Ren Guisheng.

After a long time, Ren Guisheng dialed two phone calls in succession. These two calls were one to the Municipal Committee Deputy Secretary Ye Qingshan, and one to the CPPCC Vice Chairman Lou Boping. He asked them to come to his office; he had something to find them for.

Since the matter was committed by the sons of five people, the method cannot be thought of by him, Ren Guisheng, alone. He must call the five people together to discuss it.

Before long, Ye Qingshan and Lou Boping arrived one after another. When they came, their moods were originally still very relaxed, but after hearing that their sons had committed such a major crime, they were both dumbfounded.

Ren Guisheng said with a dark face: "Now everyone already knows about the matter. If there is anyone here who wants to sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice, you can go out now and send your son to the Public Security Bureau to surrender."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. However, although their sons were all extremely unruly, not a single one of them wanted to send them to the Public Security Bureau. No matter what, they had to save them.

Especially Ye Qingshan and Lou Boping; Ye Jun and Lou Guangming were their only sons. They only got such a son after having several daughters, so they treated this son as a treasure and inevitably spoiled him, which led to such a great disaster.

But precisely because of this, they would save this son at all costs.

Their sons hadn't even gotten married yet. Even if they received the minimum sentence and stayed in prison for ten or eight years, when would they be able to hold a grandson? They didn't know if they would have the chance to hold a grandson in this lifetime.

Two minutes passed, and no one spoke. Ren Guisheng spoke up: "Since everyone doesn't have that intention, then we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now. Everyone think of a way to see how to save these little bastards."

Ren Guisheng said 'little bastards' through gritted teeth. He really hated these little bastards; they caused such a major event and added so much trouble to him!

This matter cannot be hidden, and although they are all big shots in Yulin City, wanting to let these little bastards escape unscathed is also unrealistic. In Yulin City, they have quite a few opponents. At least the number one person in Yulin City, Shi Deyou, has a very average relationship with Ren Guisheng. If Shi Deyou is determined to go against him, Ren Guisheng will also be helpless.

Fortunately, Ren Guisheng knew that Shi Deyou also hopes for stability now and doesn't want to make this matter too big. With this foundation, Ren Guisheng still has room to operate.

Zhang Shiming said, "Let Secretary Ye speak first."

Among the people present, besides Ren Guisheng, the Municipal Committee full-time Deputy Secretary Ye Qingshan had the highest status. Although it was a meeting for a few people to save their sons, in this country where official rank is taken very seriously, they still had to speak according to their status.

The others had no objections, so Ye Qingshan coughed and spoke: "Now we need to clarify what Zhang Meng has said in the Public Security Bureau, and then we can discuss countermeasures."

Everyone looked at Zhang Shiqing. Except for Zhang Shiming, the gazes of the others were very unkind. This was not strange; this time the incident happened in Changshan, and they were invited to Changshan by Zhang Meng. It would be strange if they didn't hate Zhang Meng. If it weren't for the fact that they were all tied to the same rope, they would have had the urge to swallow Zhang Meng alive.

Zhang Shiqing naturally could feel the hostility of these big shots in the city toward him, and he also understood why they held hostility toward him. But he had no choice now; he wanted to save his son, and he could only rely on these big shots.

Zhang Shiqing said, "Zhang Meng did confess the names of the others, but he also said that they absolutely did not force the girl; it was the girl who was willing."

Lou Boping snorted and said, "Is this treating others as fools? Since the girl was willing, why did she commit suicide? This sounds fake just hearing it."

Ye Qingshan said, "Since Zhang Meng said so, let's not dwell on the issue of truth or falsehood for now. After everyone goes back, call your own sons and tell them to stick to one story: that the girl was willing and they didn't force her."

Zhang Shiming nodded and said, "Secretary Ye's idea is good."

This idea was the only way for them to escape punishment. As long as they say He Xiaofeng was willing and it is accepted by the court, then it cannot be called gang rape; at most, it can be called group promiscuity, and a public security punishment will be enough.

Ye Qingshan said, "Also, I'm afraid we will have to bleed a little for these little bastards this time. We must appease the girl's family well. No matter how much money it takes, we must make her family satisfied. Don't make a scene. If the matter gets too big, it won't be a good thing."

Everyone nodded together. For the sake of their sons, what does bleeding a little matter?

However, Zhang Shiqing frowned and said, "I'm just afraid that someone will incite her family to make trouble."

Others also had Zhang Shiqing's worry. If it were in another county, this matter wouldn't count as anything at all. Who would dare to offend big shots like Ren Guisheng and Ye Qingshan? The cadres in their county would be too busy helping these big shots settle the matter to do anything else.
