Chapter 158 Preparing to Call for Reinforcements?
Luo Feiliang’s tone was forceful, leaving no room for negotiation! He didn’t even show the slightest respect to Chen Zhishan, the person in charge!
When Fang Quanyang heard this, he nearly jumped up!
“Director Chen, listen, just listen to how he’s been shouting at me. How could I let him in? Fine, people from the capital think they’re so great. Now he’s not only yelling at me but daring to yell at you too. He doesn’t respect you as the official director at all. It hasn’t been a few minutes since he arrived from the capital to Ninghai, and he’s already thinking about seizing power!”
“Shut your mouth!”
Once again, Fang Quanyang was shouted at!
But the person shouting at him wasn’t Luo Feiliang or Shang Guanmo, but Chen Zhishan!
Being publicly scolded by his direct superior, Fang Quanyang felt extremely embarrassed. He never expected that at such a critical moment, his old leader would side with outsiders, completely disregarding his dignity!
After shouting, Chen Zhishan continued in a low voice: “Stop the nonsense and fully cooperate with Director Luo Feiliang’s work!”
In fact, being publicly threatened by the young Luo Feiliang also made Chen Zhishan lose face, but he had always been a nice person, approaching work with an attitude of not offending anyone, let alone someone like Luo Feiliang who carried a special mission.
Seeing that Fang Quanyang had no reaction, Chen Zhishan continued to growl: “What’s wrong? Do I need to say it a second time? Are you too old or deaf? Can’t you hear what I’m saying?”
Fang Quanyang was completely humiliated. After all, he was almost fifty years old, and being publicly reprimanded by his leader made him want to turn and leave.
However, if he left in anger, he would thoroughly offend his old leader! Then he could forget about getting any good words put in for him at the Organization Department!
Therefore, Fang Quanyang didn’t follow his instructions but instead said to Chen Zhishan again: “Director Chen, the person who was severely injured this time is Song Yili, the general manager of Tianxiang Group…”
Luo Feiliang’s eyes flashed: “Another three minutes have passed, Deputy Director Fang. Are you planning to waste all the time like this? I said before, if things are delayed, none of you can bear the responsibility! Including me!”
Hearing this, Chen Zhishan continued to growl at Fang Quanyang: “Hurry up and lead the way, don’t ruin the important matter!”
“What important matter could there be!”
Fang Quanyang couldn’t fight against his superiors, so he muttered under his breath, then angrily led the way.
Since Chen Zhishan had spoken this way, he naturally wouldn’t say anything more. After all, if something went wrong, the leaders would take responsibility, and he would at most be upset for a couple of days.
In the interrogation room, Su Rui remained calmly seated, while Ma Dongfang looked uncertain and nervous, his legs pressed together, slightly trembling, with sweat covering his forehead.
Su Rui looked up, somewhat amused, and said: “Do you need to use the bathroom?”
Ma Dongfang nodded. He had been holding it for two hours but didn’t dare to leave for a single step. He was worried Su Rui would escape, and even more concerned that this man might cause trouble in the police station.
“Not allowed,” Su Rui said with a cold smile.
“Why? I really need to… I’m about to burst,” Ma Dongfang clutched his lower abdomen, looking very uncomfortable and struggling.
“If you can’t hold it, just wet yourself,” Su Rui gave him a cold look. “When you usually interrogate suspects, you definitely wouldn’t let them go to the bathroom, right? If I were in your place and needed to go badly, would you let me?”
Of course not.
Ma Dongfang was almost in tears. He was still wearing his police uniform, yet in this man’s eyes, he was treated like a prisoner.
Su Rui truly had not the slightest bit of goodwill toward “police officers” like Ma Dongfang. Such people, for their own benefit, would frame others and even ruin their lives. For someone like him, making him hold his urine was merciful. Even if his bladder burst, Su Rui wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.
But then again, why was Su Rui’s attitude so harsh?
At this moment, Ma Dongfang suddenly heard chaotic footsteps!
The footsteps were urgent and tense, as if many people were rushing this way at once!
By now, a smile had appeared at the corner of Su Rui’s mouth, though it carried a hint of coldness.
Ma Dongfang felt somewhat alarmed. Could these be the people he was waiting for?
Fang Quanyang walked in front leading the way, with Luo Feiliang following closely behind. The sound of their footsteps echoed unusually hollow in the night corridor!
Fang Quanyang pushed open the door of the interrogation room and said reluctantly: “The person you want is inside.”
However, when Fang Quanyang saw Su Rui’s appearance, he was immediately shocked!
As the deputy director of the city bureau and a veteran criminal investigator for many years, his memory and recognition were very good. The moment he saw Su Rui, he was certain he had seen this man before!
After careful recollection, Fang Quanyang remembered when he had seen Su Rui!
It was one noon, in a tea restaurant, when this man was having a meal with Xia Qing, the assistant to the chairman of Bikang Group!
He appeared to be Xia Qing’s boyfriend!
Fang Quanyang was very clear about and wary of Xia Qing’s position within Bikang Group. A chairman’s secretary is generally someone the chairman trusts the most, so Xia Qing must be Lin Fuzhang’s confidant.
Had he offended Xia Qing by arresting her boyfriend? By extension, had he also offended Lin Fuzhang?
Could it be that this newly appointed Deputy Director Luo Feiliang had come to help Su Rui?
Did he have such influence?
Various doubts swirled in Fang Quanyang’s mind, but he couldn’t find a reasonable answer.
Arresting this man would offend Lin Fuzhang, not arresting him would offend Song Tianxiang. He was like a mouse in a bellows—pressured from both sides!
Obviously, Su Rui also recognized Fang Quanyang and immediately understood it was this deputy director who had arrested him.
Luo Feiliang, seeing that Su Rui hadn’t gone crazy but was sitting there properly, even with a smile on his face, immediately felt relieved.
As long as this man maintained his rationality, everything would be fine, and he wouldn’t have to worry about being disciplined.
Of course, with Luo Feiliang’s temperament, personal discipline was a minor concern. If things really escalated like they did five years ago, the sky might fall!
Previously, Luo Feiliang had been worried that the Ninghai City Bureau would be uncooperative and use some extreme methods to provoke Su Rui, which would definitely make the whole situation extremely complicated. Having worried all the way here, now seeing everything was fine, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He exchanged a glance with Su Rui, clearly seeing the coldness in his eyes.
However, in the next second, the expression on his face froze!
Like spring breeze suddenly encountering cold ice and snow, Luo Feiliang’s face was completely frozen!
After being stunned for a second, his eyes were filled with shock, and within that shock was boundless anger!
Because this newly appointed deputy director clearly saw the handcuffs on Su Rui’s hands! The silver gleam hurt his eyes!
Shang Guanmo and Qian Wanxing’s expressions also froze for a moment, then uncontrollable anger surged from them!
Although the handcuffs were broken, they were still fixed on his wrists!
Luo Feiliang tried hard to suppress his anger, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and said: “Who put the handcuffs on?”
The crowd from Ninghai City Bureau was stunned, not understanding his meaning! Could it be that police officers couldn’t use handcuffs when arresting criminal suspects?
“I’ll ask one more time, who put the handcuffs on?” Luo Feiliang turned to Chen Zhishan and Fang Quanyang, asking word by word.
“Who says we can’t use handcuffs when arresting criminal suspects? You’ve just arrived from the capital and you’re already so arrogant. Do you really think Ninghai is your backyard?” Fang Quanyang said dissatisfied. This Deputy Director Luo was really going too far!
“Who determined he was a criminal suspect?” Luo Feiliang’s expression remained grim!
“I did. I ordered the arrest. The evidence is conclusive!” Fang Quanyang had figured out that Luo Feiliang and Su Rui had a good relationship, and he was definitely here to rescue him, so he sneered: “Deputy Director Luo, don’t say I didn’t warn you. You’re abusing your power for personal gain, placing yourself above the law. Be careful, I might report your situation to the Discipline Inspection Commission…”
“Report your mother!”
Before Fang Quanyang could finish, Shang Guanmo had already grabbed his collar with both hands, lifted him up, and pinned him against the wall!
“Bastard, what are you doing?” Fang Quanyang shouted angrily! With his collar grabbed and chest pinned, he could barely breathe! Being insulted and manhandled by a young man had crossed his bottom line!
Arguments were normal, but once physical confrontation started, it became abnormal!
In his anger, Shang Guanmo had directly lifted up the dignified Deputy Director Fang Quanyang! If word got out, it would be unbelievable!
Chen Zhishan was in charge, but the current situation was completely beyond his control! These people from the capital with special missions had openly come into conflict with his subordinate!
Su Rui sat there calmly, seemingly with a smile on his face.
However, the meaning behind that smile was something no one could understand.
“Director Luo, ask your man to let go. We can sit down and talk this through,” Chen Zhishan still wanted to play the nice guy.
But Luo Feiliang didn’t respond at all.
Shang Guanmo, gripping Fang Quanyang’s collar, growled: “Remove the handcuffs, or I’ll kill you right now!”
Kill you!
These words were truly arrogant and outrageous to the extreme!
Seeing his subordinates standing nearby, looking helplessly at the situation without knowing what to do, and his old leader trying to mediate without any persuasive power, Fang Quanyang was truly furious.
He tried to struggle, but didn’t expect that this young man, who didn’t look particularly strong, wouldn’t budge an inch. His two hands were like iron pliers, firmly gripping him, making it increasingly difficult to breathe as his chest was compressed!
This was Ninghai City Bureau, his territory, yet someone dared to treat him like this! Was there no law? Were these police officers or bandits?
“I’ll say it one more time, remove the handcuffs! You do it yourself!” Shang Guanmo’s eyes revealed an intense sharpness.
Fang Quanyang shouted: “I’ll report you all, I’ll report you all, I’ll go to the capital, to the capital to report you!”
“Ten seconds ago, I said if you don’t remove the handcuffs, I’ll kill you!”
Shang Guanmo directly pulled out a gun from behind his waist and pressed it firmly against Fang Quanyang’s forehead!
