Chapter 155 The Opportunity to Uproot Completely!
However, being able to notice something unusual doesn’t mean you can find the final answer.
Zhang Yuanxing, Ma Donglai, and several others needed to recover in the hospital due to serious injuries, taking at least three months or up to half a year. The high-ranking officials at the city bureau who knew about this matter remained tight-lipped about it, keeping silent both at work and at home!
Some people were secretly afraid. In Ninghai, there were truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers. You never knew when you might accidentally kick an iron plate and break your foot without even realizing it!
The most alarming thing was that after that beating incident, orders had already been issued from the capital to have the Ninghai City Discipline Inspection Commission begin investigating Zhang Yuanxing, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau!
This was a direct command from the capital! In the past, there had hardly been such precedents, which was enough to show how enormous and terrifying the power of that assailant was in the capital!
One phone call could overturn an official at the department level!
Su Rui looked at Ma Dongfang with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, but this seemingly warm smile made Ma Dongfang feel completely cold.
“I advise you not to casually accept benefits from others before understanding the situation clearly, otherwise you might not even be able to keep your head,” Su Rui said calmly.
Ma Donglai was completely intimidated by Su Rui’s aura and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“I know you accepted benefits from Song Tianxiang, but you must understand one question: what’s more important, money or life?”
Money or life.
Half an hour ago, Ma Dongfang thought that over a hundred thousand yuan was important, but half an hour later, after learning that Su Rui was the perpetrator who had seriously injured his brother and hospitalized him, he felt that his life was more important.
Offending someone you shouldn’t offend can lead to eternal regret!
“Was it really you who seriously injured my brother?” Ma Dongfang looked at Su Rui, his expression changing as his mind constantly analyzed the pros and cons of the entire incident!
In this role, he had to be a qualified opportunist, otherwise he might really ruin his entire life!
This didn’t mean he was a coward. Sometimes, knowing when to back down is a very smart move!
“I have no reason to deny it. Yes, it was me,” Su Rui said with a smile, looking genuinely harmless.
If he didn’t admit it, it would only show that he lacked power. Openly admitting in a police interrogation room that he was the assailant showed that Su Rui had great confidence!
Ma Dongfang’s expression was uncertain. He crossed his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “You can go.”
“Did I hear that right? You’re letting me go?” Su Rui asked playfully.
“You heard correctly. Go. Let’s pretend none of this happened, that I arrested the wrong person.”
After speaking, Ma Dongfang looked up and met Su Rui’s mocking gaze. His eyelids twitched violently, and an ominous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart!
“Pretend none of this happened? Pretend you arrested the wrong person?”
Su Rui’s smile carried a strong sense of mockery, yes, unlimited mockery! That look was no different from looking at a fool!
“You told me to come and I came. Now you tell me to go, but how could I leave so easily?”
Su Rui’s words completely stunned Ma Dongfang!
What was he up to?
When coming here, this guy was very reluctant, so why now, when told to leave, did he not want to go? Had he lost his mind?
Knowing that Su Rui’s identity was rather powerful, Ma Dongfang naturally couldn’t actually say he had lost his mind.
“Why won’t you leave? Do you want to stay here longer? Once I establish the crime of malicious injury against you, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!” Ma Dongfang shouted anxiously.
“Malicious injury?” A contemptuous smile flashed across Su Rui’s lips. “Do you think I care about that?”
He waved his hands, and although the chain of the handcuffs had broken, the cuff rings were still locked on his hands!
At this moment, Ma Dongfang suddenly felt that the cold gleam on the handcuffs was so glaring.
“I said before, sometimes these handcuffs are hard to put on, but even harder to take off.”
Su Rui threw the broken chain in front of Ma Dongfang: “The reason I broke the handcuffs just now was to show that taking them off can be simple, but now I want to tell you that removing this thing can also be quite difficult.”
“What… what do you mean?” Ma Dongfang realized that he was completely at a disadvantage, even though he was wearing a police uniform and had a gun. In front of this excessively young man, he didn’t even have the strength to pull the trigger!
“Since you’re wearing that uniform, you should know that some things can be done, and some things cannot.”
Su Rui stared at Ma Dongfang: “I’m sorry, but your brother ended up in the hospital this way, and I’m afraid you’ll have to follow in his footsteps.”
Ma Dongfang sat down heavily on the stool. He wanted to run out and call for help, but found that his calves were trembling, and his legs wouldn’t obey him!
However, contrary to Ma Dongfang’s expectations, Su Rui didn’t move toward him, but instead sat down on the stool and said, “Tonight, let’s just sit facing each other like this.”
Ma Dongfang asked tremblingly, “What… what do you want to do?”
Su Rui said, “I don’t mind telling you the truth. I’m waiting for someone.”
“Who are you waiting for?” Ma Dongfang asked instinctively.
This time Su Rui didn’t answer him directly, but slightly raised his head, looking at the ceiling of the interrogation room: “I’ve made my attitude clear. I think they should also express their attitude.”
…
Fang Quanyang was drinking tea in his office. It was already very late, but he, as the deputy director of the city bureau, had not yet left.
Looking at the time, he figured things should be about done, so he took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, Mr. Song, this is Fang Quanyang.” After identifying himself, Fang Quanyang smiled and took a sip of tea.
“Director Fang, thank you so much for today’s matter.” Song Tianxiang was still sitting in a private room at Zuixian Restaurant, eating slowly by himself at a table full of dishes, though no one knew whether these delicacies had any taste in his mouth.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Song. We’re old friends. For some things, I’ll naturally help if I can, and promoting justice is what I should do,” Fang Quanyang chuckled. “We will do our best to dig out all the evidence against the suspect and clear your son’s name.”
Song Tianxiang nodded: “Director Fang, great favors need no thanks. I’ve already had my secretary deliver a token of appreciation to your wife. If you have time tomorrow, we can have dinner together.”
Fang Quanyang’s face bloomed into a flower. He was very happy in his heart. Just for a small favor, he had won Song Tianxiang’s relationship, which seemed quite worthwhile. He just didn’t know exactly how valuable the “token of appreciation” he mentioned would be.
On this point, Director Fang was still full of expectations.
After hanging up Song Tianxiang’s call, Fang Quanyang assumed a very comfortable posture, looked at the night sky outside the window, and smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Then he picked up the landline and called Ma Dongfang.
“Ma Dongfang, remember, this time you must get the suspect’s confession complete, no matter what. It must be thorough and deep!” Fang Quanyang said calmly.
“Director Fang, on my end…” Ma Dongfang’s voice sounded a bit off.
However, Fang Quanyang didn’t notice the unusual tone in his loyal subordinate’s voice: “Don’t complain. I know this case is a bit difficult, but you must handle it no matter what. That’s my order to you!”
With that, Fang Quanyang hung up the phone.
In the interrogation room, Ma Dongfang held the phone, the expression on his face could only be described as spectacular.
Now his and Su Rui’s roles had completely reversed, as if Su Rui was the police officer wearing the uniform.
Obviously, Ma Dongfang, as the younger brother, didn’t have the ruthlessness of his brother. If Ma Donglai were here, he might have already fired his gun, killing Su Rui first and then arranging a crime like assaulting a police officer later.
Ma Dongfang didn’t do this, which to some extent prevented him from suffering the same fate as his brother.
Su Rui just sat there, while cold sweat continuously dripped down Ma Dongfang’s face.
He was waiting for someone. Who was he waiting for?
Ma Dongfang had absolutely no answer in his heart. He looked at the unlocked door of the interrogation room but had neither the strength nor the courage to leave.
Because Su Rui wouldn’t let him go.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a kind of determination and authority that could not be questioned.
“Calculating the time, it should be soon,” Su Rui’s lips revealed a slight smile, though this smile carried a hint of coldness.
At the same time, a black Buick business car was speeding on the highway from the capital to Ninghai!
“Nonsense, this is really nonsense. What are the Ninghai police doing? Do they think they’ve lived too long?” A man wearing a jacket sat in the passenger seat, slapping his thigh in anger.
“They’re too stupid, they can’t blame others. This master already caused a big scene at the Ninghai police station last time. If they don’t learn from their mistakes, do they expect others to clean up after them? They’re always thinking about taking benefits but never considered that they might lose their lives. The man in the back row was wearing a suit with the buttons undone, his eyes carrying a sharp meaning.
“Aren’t we rushing over to clean up after them? In the middle of the night, running from the capital to Ninghai, is that easy?” The jacket man seemed full of complaints about the Ninghai police.
“You think I want to run? If that master is forced to go crazy, it might really be hard to contain the situation.” The handsome man in the suit fingered his coat buttons and said, “I don’t want to see a repeat of what happened a few years ago.”
“None of us want to see those things happen again, but undeniably, this time there will definitely be people making trouble behind the scenes.” At this point, a middle-aged man on the right side of the back seat finally spoke. Throughout the journey, he had been completely silent.
Upon hearing this, the men in front all revealed vigilant looks, though the man with the sharp eyes said somewhat disdainfully, “In the face of overwhelming strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers. No matter how much those petty villains jump around, they won’t be a match for this master.”
“Flame is my idol,” the man in the suit leaned back in his seat and sighed deeply.
