Chapter 1247

Power, when it becomes gentle, is as warm as a mother's embrace, making people feel at ease.

But once it becomes violent, it can also be like a monster that makes people unable to calm down.

The President and the Vice President had considered that their brother would betray them... actually, using the word "betray" is not accurate; it should be confessing the things they had done.

It's just that they didn't expect things to happen so quickly.

This is thanks to some outstanding contributions made by the Federal Department of Justice and Congress in promoting the investigation of cases. Of course, it can also be seen as reserving a "way out" for the powerful.

In fact, the laws of any country are like this. On one hand, they tell people that this is not allowed, while at the same time setting some harsh conditions, telling people that in certain circumstances, it can be done.

It's like... the law tells you that you cannot kill others, but the law also tells you that when your life is threatened, you can kill the enemy first to avoid the harm you would receive next.

As for whether your life has been threatened, it's not up to you to say, it's not up to the defendant's family and lawyer to say; only judicial interpretation counts.

There are also many similar loopholes in Federal justice, which has also become something that those famous lawyers must study.

They need to figure out how to more reasonably exploit loopholes to bring victory in litigation for their employers, thereby gaining more attention, prestige, and status.

It's not just lawyers who are exploiting loopholes; prosecutors are also exploiting loopholes, but some people exploit loopholes because they want to get out, and some people exploit loopholes because they want to get in.

Prosecutors used the condition of "confessing all the facts of the crime to reduce or even help ask the judge to pardon their sentence" to make them confess these things.

In the words of the prosecutors, people like the President's brother are just puppets on the stage. He didn't really profit through unfair competition; he was just helping others collect money.

If he takes on at least half of the responsibility himself, he will face huge fines and several years in prison, and the prosecutor told him privately that this matter is actually being pushed by big figures behind the scenes.

They will be very miserable in prison, there will be no chance of early release, and even the chance to visit prison will be rare. It is possible that they will die directly inside!

The prosecutors were coaxing and deceiving here, and the President's brother soon couldn't hold on and confessed his brother.

With these testimonies, evidence, and witnesses, the Prosecutor's Office went directly to the door with an arrest warrant to find people, and at the same time as the action, they also disclosed this matter to the local media...

When the prosecutor appeared in front of the President with the police, the President sat withered on the chair in his office. He watched the two arrogant prosecutors push the door and appear in front of him, watching them show him the arrest warrant.

He just watched, watching without saying a word.

One of the tall prosecutors put the arrest warrant away again. "You can hire a lawyer, but you must leave with us now," he said, moving his fingers at the police behind him.

The police behind came over with handcuffs.

Perhaps it was the light reflected by the handcuffs that pierced the President's eyes, and his expression changed slightly. "Can... I not wear handcuffs?" he looked at the two prosecutors.

As the President of the State Construction Workers' Labor Union, he had been in this position for thirty years. He was the President of the first state labor union in South Yalan State.

He was originally a role similar to a project manager. In the second year of the establishment of the Labor Federation, the Labor Federation called on all workers to establish labor union organizations to ensure the rights and interests of industry workers.

Seeing the development prospects that existed inside, the President immediately stood up. For those ordinary workers, it was simply impossible to let them do this.

Besides selling physical strength at the construction site, let them register for a labor union and engage in the operation of those labor unions; they simply didn't understand!

The President's appearance and active promotion of the local construction workers' labor union's deeds were recognized by the Labor Federation. With their cooperation, the President gained a firm foothold.

Originally, he had the opportunity to go to the General Labor Union, but he believed that the power and benefits he could get after going to the General Labor Union were not as good as being in this position of the State Labor Union.

The composition of the General Labor Union side was very complex, and the core members were not necessarily ordinary people. A person like him without any background went there, and he could only become someone else's echo, an ordinary staff member.

But staying here, he was the one with the highest status and the greatest power in the entire State Labor Union.

Working like this for thirty years, he had also done many practical and specific things for the labor union, helping workers fight for the rights and interests they deserved from capitalists. To some extent, he indeed did many things that were helpful to workers. In the eyes of workers, he was a very positive labor union President.

But now... he had to leave here wearing handcuffs. He could already imagine what kind of strange thoughts would breed in the hearts of those people at the door when they saw him wearing handcuffs.

The prosecutor looked at him for a moment. "If you are willing to cooperate with us, no problem."

The President breathed a sigh of relief. "I will cooperate with you."

The tall prosecutor asked the police not to handcuff him, but to stand behind him and leave with him.

Just after going out, quite a few labor union staff members had already gathered outside the door. The eyes of each of them looking at the President were different.

Some people showed expressions of disbelief, some were a kind of scrutinizing gaze, and some people's eyes hid mockery.

Looking at these different gazes, the complexity of human nature was displayed in front of him so vividly for the first time, so clear, so profound!

Not everyone was worried for him. The ecstasy hidden behind hypocritical expressions that was no longer hidden also made him feel chest tightness.

Looking at those concerned gazes, the President squeezed out some smiles. "I'm going to cooperate with the investigation, and I'll be back soon."

"You guys move aside first."

The staff members took the initiative to clear a path, letting people take the President away. The moment he walked out of the labor union gate, he heard various discussions coming from behind.

The outside of the labor union gate was also full of people. There were many workers here, as well as many reporters. They frantically pressed the shutter, and the magnesium powder kept exploding to provide enough brightness.

There were a few workers who looked very old. They came up to meet him, and the oldest one asked, "Is what they said true?"

The President looked at that old appearance and took a deep breath. "I have never done anything to apologize to the worker brothers."

He didn't answer that question, using an irrelevant statement to avoid it, but this couldn't satisfy the workers.

The old worker's tone became much more severe. "So what they said is true?"

The President didn't speak, and the prosecutor didn't urge them to continue walking, seemingly looking forward to the next development.

Seeing that the President didn't have any other response, the old construction worker suddenly spat on the ground. "Pah, I thought you were different from those people!"
