Chapter 96

Dan Guozhi said, "You also know you caused trouble for me? Do you know how big a mess you made for me this time? I understand if you’re short of money, but when you stop cars on the road, you have to have a target, right? If people are willing to pay the fine, let them go. Why do you have to detain the vehicles? If someone holds onto this matter, you will be in big trouble this time."

Tao Yan was hesitating. Last night he asked his son and learned the cause and effect of this matter. It turned out that the whole thing was instigated by Dan Xiaolong, and stopping the car was to retaliate against Su Xinghui and Yanzhugou Village. Was it appropriate to tell Dan Guozhi this?

Seeing Tao Yan’s hesitant look, Dan Guozhi asked, "What do you want to say? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so hesitant?"

Tao Yan decided not to tell Dan Guozhi about this, so as not to give him any ideas. Telling him about Dan Xiaolong wouldn't do him any good either. Anyway, the matter was basically resolved now, so let it be.

Thinking of this, Tao Yan smiled and said, "I’m terrified. That little brat of mine is too troublesome. I’m thinking if I should just stop him from being a policeman and let him do some business, which would be more comfortable."

Dan Guozhi said, "There’s no need for that. You also need someone to take over. Yanbin is still young and doesn't understand things. You should talk to him more and let him gain more experience in the Public Security Bureau. He should mature a bit."

Tao Yan followed Dan Guozhi’s words and said, "Fine, County Magistrate, then I’ll listen to you!"

Dan Guozhi added, "You also need to rectify the Public Security Bureau. Tell them not to mess around during this period. Also, don't let them stop the trucks coming out of Menguhuling in the future, so as not to cause trouble. The county is a bit unstable right now."

Tao Yan nodded: "I know!"

Dan Guozhi waved his hand with some fatigue: "Fine, then you go."

Tao Yan agreed, left Dan Guozhi’s office, and carefully closed the door from the outside.

It was already past ten o’clock when they left Lu Zhenghong’s office. Zhang Kaishan had Peng Qiang drive the car straight back to Shangjun County. Su Xinghui also returned to Shangjun County. He planned to return to Menguhuling in the afternoon. Things in the township were too busy, and he had too much to do; he couldn't stay away for long.

Arriving at the county, Zhang Kaishan asked, "Xinghui, why don't you rest at home this afternoon and return to Menguhuling tomorrow?"

Su Xinghui said, "No, County Magistrate Zhang. I’ll return to Menguhuling after lunch. There are too many things in the township now, and I can't leave them."

Zhang Kaishan nodded with appreciation: "Fine, then do you want Peng Qiang to take you there this afternoon?"

Su Xinghui shook his head: "No need. I already agreed with Xu Xiaoguang yesterday that I would return to Menguhuling with him this afternoon."

Zhang Kaishan nodded and had Peng Qiang take Su Xinghui home first. After eating lunch at home, Su Xinghui made an appointment with Xu Xiaoguang and returned to Menguhuling together.

Returning to the township government, Su Xinghui entered Chen Hongfu’s office. Seeing him return, Chen Hongfu asked, "Has it been resolved?"

Su Xinghui nodded: "It’s already been resolved."

Su Xinghui told Chen Hongfu about the process roughly. Of course, he didn't tell Chen Hongfu some of the details.

Chen Hongfu thought this matter was just caused by the traffic police’s ugly behavior, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He knew very well what kind of character the traffic police in Shangjun County had. It was very normal for such things to happen in Shangjun County. Seeing that the matter was resolved, he nodded and said, "It’s good that it’s resolved. They won't stop their cars in the future, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "They won't stop them again. Secretary Ji and County Magistrate Zhang both stepped in for this matter."

Hearing this, Chen Hongfu felt relieved.

That evening, Lu Xiaoya came home from school and saw her father and mother both at home. This situation was very rare. Lu Zhenghong was busy with work and had many social engagements, so he rarely ate dinner at home. She called out: "Dad, how do you have time to come home for dinner today?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "My precious daughter suffered grievances yesterday, so I specifically pushed aside my social engagements to come back and see you today!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoya said, "Dad, you don't know, that guy named Tao Yanbin is too hateful!"

Lu Zhenghong said, "Tell me about it, let me hear what happened yesterday."

Song Qiaoli also said, "Yes, what happened yesterday? It made Mom worry all night."

Lu Xiaoya recounted what happened yesterday and then said, "Dad, you didn't see Tao Yanbin’s look, wearing his police cap crookedly, looking like a hooligan, and he even harassed me!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiaoli’s eyebrows stood up: "How did he harass you?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Forget it, I can't say those words. Not only did he harass me, but he also said that if we wanted them to release the vehicles, we should let the sisters Xia Lan and Xia Zhu go to him to solve the problem. What kind of good intentions do you think he had?"

Song Qiaoli said, "Isn't this lawless? How did their county handle it later?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "They just suspended the traffic police who stopped the car for reflection."

Song Qiaoli said indignantly, "So lawless, and just a suspension for reflection is enough? This is too light!"

Lu Zhenghong said, "Old Song, you don't understand the situation below. They also have their difficulties."

Song Qiaoli said, "What difficulties? So we just let it go after our Xiaoya was bullied?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Mom, stop talking. Their county really has difficulties. You don't know, Tao Yanbin’s father is the County Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Public Security Bureau Chief, and behind him is the County Magistrate. This County Magistrate is very arrogant and doesn't even put the County Party Secretary in his eyes. It’s already not bad that it could be handled so quickly."

Song Qiaoli found it incredible. She was not sensitive to political things, and she found it hard to imagine that the County Party Secretary was the top leader of a county, so how could the County Magistrate not put him in his eyes?

Song Qiaoli said to Lu Zhenghong, "Old Lu, are there such things?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "There are many such things in official circles, so you don't need to be surprised. This time, their county handled it relatively well, but rest assured, this matter won't just end like this."

Lu Xiaoya said excitedly, "Dad, you must deal with them. Tao Yanbin could do such lawless things, his father must not be a good person, and the County Magistrate behind them must not be a good person either. We must deal with them."

Lu Zhenghong said, "Fine, I know about this. Just say this at home, don't say it outside in the future. Don't jump to conclusions before investigating. By the way, when the traffic police stopped the car, you didn't say you were my daughter, did you?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "How could I? You’ve told me many times not to use your banner outside, so how would I dare to violate that!"
