Chapter 231: The Simpleton

The group arrived at the People's Restaurant. Not two minutes after entering the private room, Xu Xiaoguang arrived. As soon as he entered, he asked: "Why did you call me so late to eat today?"

Su Xinghui shook his head: "Sigh, don't mention it today!"

Xu Xiaoguang asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Xue Qin said: "Xinghui was full of anger today."

Xue Qin told Xu Xiaoguang what happened today. Xu Xiaoguang said: "That group of people in the Public Security Brigade are that bold?"

Su Xinghui said: "Isn't it? If it weren't for my personal experience, I probably wouldn't have believed it if someone told me."

While speaking, the waiter came to order dishes. Su Xinghui first ordered two substantial dishes, then handed the menu to Liu Changlin: "Comrade Liu Changlin, right? You order two dishes you like too."

Liu Changlin waved his hand: "I'm not picky, you order, I can eat anything."

Su Xinghui actually knew what dishes Liu Changlin liked. He ordered a few more dishes and let the waiter go down.

Su Xinghui said to Xu Xiaoguang: "This is Liu Changlin. He was the one who went to the Public Security Bureau to testify for me just now."

Xu Xiaoguang hurriedly said to Liu Changlin: "Then thank you very much!"

Liu Changlin said: "Don't be polite, this is what I should do."

Xu Xiaoguang asked Su Xinghui again: "Did you suffer any losses after going in?"

Su Xinghui shook his head: "That didn't happen."

Xue Qin said angrily: "You didn't suffer losses? Just now your wrists were marked by the handcuffs, and they haven't even faded yet."

Su Xinghui laughed: "What's a few marks? Those guys should all be spending the New Year in the detention center."

Zhang Cheng said: "The internal management of the Public Security Bureau is really too chaotic now for such things to happen."

Liu Changlin said: "This is not news either. The public security in Shangjun County is really problematic. Thieves are too rampant. Usually it's okay, but when it comes to the New Year, the streets are full of thieves. You have to be careful when shopping; if you're not careful, you'll be stolen from. Some thieves go in one foot and are released the next. This is an open secret."

Zhang Cheng said: "If the Public Security Bureau doesn't have a major overhaul, I guess the public security won't get better."

Everyone knew where the biggest rot in the Public Security Bureau was, and they all shook their heads and sighed.

Just as Su Xinghui and the others were discussing this at the People's Restaurant, at the home of County Party Committee Secretary Ji Tao, Zhang Kaishan was also discussing what happened today with him.

Ji Tao also lived in the Standing Committee building of the County Party Committee compound. Previously, he lived alone, but this time for the New Year, he planned to spend it in Shangjun County because during the Spring Festival, there were many activities the County Party Committee Secretary had to attend, and he couldn't return to the region to spend the New Year. Therefore, his wife and daughter arrived in Shangjun County yesterday.

His wife's name was Zhong Hui, and she worked at the Yulin Regional Commercial Bureau. His daughter's name was Ji Ying, and she was in the second year of junior high at Yulin Middle School. Now they were both on vacation, so they could come to Shangjun County to accompany Ji Tao.

Zhang Kaishan came to find Ji Tao at this time, and Ji Tao knew that something must have happened, so he went to the study to talk to Zhang Kaishan.

Zhong Hui poured tea for Zhang Kaishan and then went out, closing the door.

Zhang Kaishan said: "Secretary Ji, I came today to report this matter to you."

Zhang Kaishan reported what happened today to Ji Tao in detail. Ji Tao's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
