Chapter 159 Fire-Speed Mobilization!
In the interrogation room of the city bureau, someone openly drew a gun, and the target was the deputy director!
Perhaps this was an unprecedented first in all police stations across China!
Chen Zhishan became anxious at this sight and said to Luo Feiliang: “Director Luo, your subordinate is acting like this, and you’re not going to control him?”
Luo Feiliang glanced at him and said: “Control him? I wish I could do the same. Even if he hadn’t drawn his gun, I would have drawn mine.”
As he spoke, he lifted his jacket with his right hand, and indeed, his left hand was gripping the handle of his gun!
Even with Chen Zhishan’s good temper, he couldn’t help but be furious now. This was like someone defecating on his head!
“This is too much, really too much! Do you know that what you’re doing has seriously violated…” Chen Zhishan stood in front of Luo Feiliang, pointing at his chest, his face full of anger.
“Violated what?” Luo Feiliang looked at him contemptuously, then said to Shangguan Mo: “Shangguan, if he doesn’t unlock it within three seconds, shoot immediately!”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
Chen Zhishan panicked as soon as he heard this.
Meanwhile, Ma Dongfang was nearly scared to the point of wetting himself. He already had a full bladder, and now he could barely control it. Having been a criminal investigator for so many years, when had Ma Dongfang ever seen such a situation? This was unprecedented even since the founding of China! Did these fearless people from the capital really dare to shoot and kill a deputy director of the city bureau here?
Didn’t they know what criminal responsibility they would bear for killing a deputy director? No, this wasn’t just about a deputy director anymore; even if they killed an ordinary person, they would face the death penalty!
This was too absurd!
However, after living for so long, there was one thing Ma Dongfang hadn’t realized—real life is far more absurd than your worldview!
Thinking of this, Ma Dongfang unconsciously glanced at Su Rui, who was still sitting there composed, showing no intention of getting up. The conflict here was so intense, guns had been drawn, yet this gentleman seemed to have little interest, truly watching the tigers fight from the mountain!
Looking at the faces of Luo Feiliang and others, seeing how they protected Su Rui to the extent of completely breaking ties with Ninghai City Bureau, almost to the point of life and death, the regret and resentment in his heart finally erupted like a torrent!
Someone who could beat his brother and Deputy Director Zhang Yuanxing into serious injuries requiring months of hospitalization, and the beaten didn’t dare raise any objections; someone who could make the Central Organization Department of the capital issue orders overnight to appoint a deputy director of a municipality just to rescue him; someone for whom an official of section-level rank would draw a gun against a deputy department-level official, even saying things like counting to three before executing on the spot! What did this mean?
The answer was already very obvious and clear!
Looking at Su Rui’s excessively young face, Ma Dongfang felt his heart pounding violently. This person was definitely a top-tier young master from the capital, possessing a terrifyingly powerful identity beyond imagination!
What terrible things had he done in his previous life to encounter such a monster in this one?
“Thugs, thugs! Quickly gather…” Chen Zhishan wanted to call for the special police team, but a gun abruptly extended out and pressed heavily against his forehead!
At that moment, Chen Zhishan clearly felt the coldness of the gun barrel!
This coldness, combined with Luo Feiliang’s icy gaze, made Chen Zhishan feel as if his blood was freezing!
So blatant, so arrogant, so domineering, so audacious!
Luo Feiliang said: “Although you are the director and I am the deputy director, on this matter, I will not make the slightest concession.”
The gun barrel pressed firmly against Chen Zhishan’s forehead, leaving him shocked and furious!
“Are you still government officials? You’re no different from bandits! If you have the guts, shoot me, kill both me and Director Chen. He’ll become a ghost, and I’ll accompany him. In the next life, he’ll still be my leader, and I’ll still be his subordinate, still serving him! Go ahead and shoot, shoot now!”
Fang Quanyang shouted loudly, his eyes bloodshot, bulging with rage, appearing righteously indignant. However, the fact that this fellow could slip in a bit of flattery at the crucial moment when a gun was pointed at his head was… quite disgusting.
Hearing this, Su Rui sighed softly. After witnessing Fang Quanyang’s shamelessness, he could completely surrender the title of “World’s Most Shameless” to him. To be able to say such disgusting words with such righteous indignation was truly nauseating. In terms of thick skin, Su Rui was no match for this Fang Quanyang.
People need face, trees need bark, utility poles need cement. Although Su Rui was shameless, he was still a person with a bit of bottom line and integrity. But this Fang Quanyang was different. Just from one sentence, one could judge that this person had no bottom line, no integrity whatsoever. Calling him purely shameless would be giving him too much credit.
Luo Feiliang pointed his gun at Chen Zhishan’s head and said: “You might be very confident, thinking that after killing you, I would similarly be thrown into prison, but you’re wrong. You don’t understand the inside story, and the inside story is far from as simple as you imagine.”
“If you died, I would probably just receive a disciplinary action, which would be automatically cleared after two years. But you? You would really be dead, and deservedly so!”
“If a choice had to be made between you and Mr. Su, those above would rather let you and this deputy director both die than let Mr. Su lose a single hair!”
The information revealed by Luo Feiliang’s words was undoubtedly enormous. The “above” he referred to was naturally a height that Chen Zhishan and Fang Quanyang could never reach in their lifetimes!
Actually, there was one more thing Luo Feiliang didn’t say, which would have truly caused a storm if spoken. From this point, one could see that this newly arrived deputy director still maintained his rationality even in moments of extreme anger!
That unspoken sentence was: “Even if all of you were sacrificed, those above wouldn’t want to see Su Rui go berserk!”
One person could possess such value, create such deterrence, and make so many people feel terror, panic, and dread!
Luo Feiliang’s expression was serious, absolutely not feigned. Chen Zhishan had always known that this parachuted deputy director had a special mission, but he had never seriously considered it. Now thinking about it, their special mission might be to protect this criminal suspect—no, this Mr. Su!
After hearing Luo Feiliang’s words, Chen Zhishan felt an even more intense chill throughout his body. Did this mean that those above were willing to sacrifice him, a city bureau director, to protect this young man?
The more one understands politics, the more one knows how dark it can be. The closer one gets to the upper echelons of officialdom, the more one knows that some unwritten rules cannot be violated, some high-voltage lines cannot be touched.
The moment he became an official, Chen Zhishan had determined that he would never do too many things to offend people in his lifetime. He had always been cautious and careful, and with his reputation as a nice person, he had slowly climbed to the high position of Ninghai City Bureau Director. Not touching high-voltage lines, not touching taboo points, not offending important figures—these were his principles as an official.
But now, Chen Zhishan’s forehead, with a gun pointed at it, was covered in sweat. He found that his consistent principles had finally been broken. It seemed he had touched the high-voltage line he had been so desperately trying to avoid! And in this high-voltage line, there was a current so powerful it made one feel terror and trembling!
But Fang Quanyang didn’t believe any of this. His political awareness and sensitivity were far lower than his old leader’s!
“I’m telling you, after today, I’m going to the capital to file a complaint. I’ll tell the leaders above about all your evil deeds and let them punish you! Even if you kill me today, I’ll haunt you as a ghost…”
Fang Quanyang’s face was flushed red, hysterical, shouting himself hoarse. Where was any semblance of a city bureau deputy director?
He had also been pushed to the extreme!
But anxiety was useless because fists determine everything. Whoever has the harder fist has the hard truth.
“As noisy as a fly!” Luo Feiliang frowned: “Shangguan Mo, didn’t I tell you to count to three and then shoot? Why are you letting him talk so much nonsense?”
Shangguan Mo grimaced in displeasure, looked at Chen Zhishan, and said: “Director Luo, you were the one wasting time talking to that old man first. Don’t push the responsibility onto me.”
Luo Feiliang glared at his subordinate and said sternly: “Count!”
“No problem.”
Shangguan Mo looked at Fang Quanyang, a flash of sharpness in his eyes: “I’ll count to three, and perhaps you have three seconds of life left.”
“One!”
Just moments ago, there was contempt and anger, hysteria and frenzy, but after this “one” was called out, Fang Quanyang suddenly fell silent. Yes, he couldn’t control his emotions, and a sense of fear before death suddenly crept into his heart!
Just one number, and it could cause such a psychological change!
He really couldn’t shout things like “dare to shoot and see what happens, I’ll haunt you even as a vengeful ghost” anymore, because he seemed to have deeply realized that the other party would really shoot, not just be putting on an act!
Now Fang Quanyang had no time or mind to think about why these officials parachuted from the capital were willing to break ties with the entire Ninghai City Bureau for a criminal suspect. He also wouldn’t consider how the relationship between both sides would be handled after the break. Because he was about to die!
“Two!”
Shangguan Mo called out the second number!
The entire interrogation room was quiet, with only the sound of numbers echoing. No, accompanying it was the sound of rapid breathing!
When calling out the second number, Shangguan Mo had already pressed the trigger halfway down!
Yes, halfway!
Just one more millimeter of pressure, and the bullet from this gun would enter Fang Quanyang’s skull! Then it would explode in his brain! By then, no one would be able to save this deputy director of the city bureau!
Life is just that absurd! Just that horrifying!
