Chapter 217 Solving Problems for Mr. Su
After Xue Ruyun left, Su Rui remained in a dazed state.
A fleeting kiss, their lips barely touching before parting, Xue Ruyun’s figure drifted away, leaving Su Rui with an infinitely beautiful silhouette.
But why did she kiss him?
Su Rui kept pondering the reason but ultimately couldn’t figure it out, finally attributing it to his own irresistible charm.
Regardless of the actual reason, that gentle kiss just now truly left him feeling intoxicated.
Thinking about last night’s events, Su Rui couldn’t help feeling somewhat agitated.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller, Su Rui’s eyes released a cold glint.
“How’s it going? Any results on the South China Sea incident?” Thinking about the kidnapping incident in the South China Sea, Su Rui’s good mood was instantly ruined.
“We haven’t figured it out yet.” The voice on the other end sounded somewhat apologetic.
“What are you people good for? Aren’t you supposed to be the most capable department? You can’t even investigate this small matter?”
“There were no warning signs, no survivors. You’re also experienced in this field, you surely understand the difficulty.”
Su Rui certainly wouldn’t agree with such words: “I don’t even know who my opponent is, what am I supposed to do? No matter how difficult, you must find out. I can’t always remain in a passive position taking hits!”
With that, Su Rui hung up the phone.
…
Meanwhile, at Tianxiang Group headquarters, Song Yili, whose left face was covered with small scars, was sitting in his father’s luxurious office. After barely a week of recovery, he had forced himself to leave the hospital.
Song Yili no longer resembled the dashing young gentleman he once was. Due to the stitches on his face, the scars looked somewhat terrifying, changing his entire demeanor, making him appear increasingly gloomy and unapproachable.
Since Su Rui had destroyed one of his kidneys, Song Yili could barely straighten his back after surgery and had to walk carefully, with gentle movements.
Whenever he thought about this, Song Yili felt a blockage in his heart, with infinite resentment filling his entire mind!
“Why did you leave so early? Why didn’t you stay in the hospital to recover properly?”
Sitting opposite him, Song Tianxiang looked at his gloomy son with a completely complicated expression. No matter how worthless or terrible this son was, he was still his biological son, his only successor. Seeing him reduced to his current state, how could Song Tianxiang feel good?
A parent’s heart is always compassionate. Even though Song Tianxiang clearly knew that his son’s injuries were basically self-inflicted, he could never stand by and do nothing. Later, he personally stepped in to bribe several police officers in Ninghai City Bureau to put Su Rui in jail, which was the best proof.
Unfortunately, since that incident, the police officers from Ninghai City Bureau never contacted him again. No matter how many gifts Song Tianxiang sent or how many dinner invitations he extended, they simply refused to meet, effectively severing those relationships.
“I want revenge.” Song Yili’s voice was filled with viciousness.
Now he wished he could tear Su Rui into pieces. If he couldn’t torture him to death using the most cruel and insane methods, Song Yili would never be able to resolve the hatred in his heart.
“Even Ninghai City Bureau couldn’t hold him, what do you plan to do?” Song Tianxiang was getting older and didn’t want to participate in many conflicts anymore. The previous time he used his connections with the police to help his son seek revenge was his first intervention after many years.
“Call again and ask about the situation.” Song Yili was stubborn to the end. He pounded the table heavily and said somewhat viciously: “If official channels don’t work, I’ll use unofficial ones.”
“Absolutely not!” Song Tianxiang became anxious as soon as he heard his son wanted to use his underworld connections again.
“Ask now, right now!”
Song Yili showed no respect for his father. His eyes were bloodshot, looking somewhat terrifying.
Song Tianxiang knew his son’s stubborn nature all too well. He sighed deeply, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
The owner of this number was none other than the current Ninghai City Public Security Bureau Chief—Chen Zhishan.
At this moment, the latter was chatting with Luo Feiliang in his office.
“Director Luo, the disciplinary decision regarding Deputy Director Fang Quanyang has been made. The bureau leadership team has gone through a series of discussions and finally decided to give him an internal party warning, with one demerit on record. As for Ma Dongfang and others, they will receive major demerits and be placed on probation while retaining their positions.”
Luo Feiliang had not participated in these leadership team discussions. He deliberately stayed away, wanting to see the bureau’s attitude.
“Director Luo, what do you think of this decision?”
Chen Zhishan wiped sweat from his forehead. Being almost sixty years old, he still appeared somewhat anxious. Ever since this middle-aged deputy director had parachuted into Ninghai, he, Chen Zhishan, had implicitly become the second-in-command at Ninghai City Bureau, needing to “consult” him first on everything.
“Director Chen, I believe this incident is extremely serious in nature.” Luo Feiliang’s fingers lightly tapped the desktop: “After dragging on for so long, this is all we get?”
Chen Zhishan wiped his sweat again: “Director Luo, I believe this punishment is already quite severe for Director Fang. His political future has been stained because of this, and he will never have another chance for promotion.”
“Promotion? Someone like him still thinking about a so-called political future? What a joke!” Luo Feiliang said with a serious expression and solemn tone: “Director Chen, let me be frank with you. Since coming to Ninghai City Bureau, I won’t interfere with any other work, but when it comes to matters involving Su Rui, there absolutely cannot be the slightest mishap.”
Chen Zhishan’s level wasn’t high enough to imagine or understand what kind of identity this Su Rui had that warranted such strong attention from above.
“Director Luo, are you saying that if this Su Rui killed someone in Ninghai’s jurisdiction, I should still release him without charges?”
“Killed someone? Then we would need to report to superiors.” Luo Feiliang smiled coldly but shook his head, not giving a definitive answer.
How much blood had this gentleman shed in his rage five years ago? If he really killed someone in Ninghai for certain reasons, Ninghai City Bureau definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it!
Being a bureau chief reduced to this state was quite humiliating.
Just then, Chen Zhishan’s phone rang.
He looked at the number, and his expression instantly became complicated.
“What’s wrong, Director Chen?”
Luo Feiliang noticed his unusual expression and stood up, saying: “If I’m interfering with your call, I can step outside.”
“No need, no need.” Chen Zhishan quickly stopped him, then pressed the answer button with a serious expression.
On the other end, Song Tianxiang, seeing the call connected, let out a long sigh of relief—it seemed this connection hadn’t been severed.
“Director Chen, this is Song Tianxiang.”
“Chairman Song, what can I do for you?” Chen Zhishan’s tone was very cold.
Hearing the words “Chairman Song,” Luo Feiliang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Song Tianxiang maintained his smile: “It’s like this, Director Chen, we haven’t gathered for a long time. I wonder if you’re free tonight? I’ve reserved a table at Zuixian Restaurant and would like to invite you.”
Chen Zhishan coldly replied: “Chairman Song, are you trying to inquire about Su Rui?”
Surprised that Chen Zhishan would speak so directly, Song Tianxiang didn’t know how to respond and could only laugh awkwardly.
“If that’s the case, I advise you to abandon this idea. I hope you won’t call me again in the future. I’m retiring soon and don’t want to get involved in these matters anymore.”
With that, Chen Zhishan hung up the phone.
Luo Feiliang looked at him and nodded slightly. Clearly, this Director Chen knew how to choose sides at critical moments.
“Was that just now Tianxiang Group’s Chairman Song Tianxiang?”
“It was indeed.” Chen Zhishan’s gaze flickered: “He’s been targeting Su Rui.”
“Then it’s simple.” Luo Feiliang said: “Since this man won’t give up his evil intentions, I’ll have to help Mr. Su eliminate future troubles.”
Hearing this, Chen Zhishan couldn’t control his shudder.
“Director Luo, as a police officer, is this appropriate?”
“What’s inappropriate? Besides, you don’t even know what I’m planning to do.” Luo Feiliang glanced at him and said with a faint smile: “I won’t kill or set fires, what are you worried about?”
Chen Zhishan was certainly worried. No matter how he looked at it, Luo Feiliang, Shang Guanmo, and the others didn’t seem like good people. They won’t kill or set fires? What a joke. That day he had a gun pointed at his own head! And he nearly took Fang Quanyang’s life with a bullet!
“I just need to use the bureau’s Economic Investigation Team.” Luo Feiliang said.
“Economic Investigation Team?” Chen Zhishan seemed to realize what measures Luo Feiliang was about to take.
“That’s right. Tianxiang Group has been operating for so long, it’s impossible they don’t have any economic issues.” Luo Feiliang smiled coldly: “Tomorrow I’ll organize a work team to enter Tianxiang Group and work on-site.”
Chen Zhishan became somewhat anxious: “Director Luo, as a deputy director of the city bureau, doing this without any evidence is really against the rules!”
“Rules?” Hearing these words, Luo Feiliang’s cold smile deepened: “These words have never appeared in my dictionary.”
Hearing this, Chen Zhishan’s expression became somewhat dejected. Luo Feiliang’s statement had undoubtedly opened a huge protective umbrella for all of Su Rui’s actions in Ninghai! Such behavior had already seriously violated relevant procedural protocols!
“If Tianxiang Group has no problems at all, then my investigation will be in vain, and they don’t need to be so nervous.” Luo Feiliang continued: “But if they haven’t cleaned up their own mess, then they can’t blame me!”
Hearing this, Chen Zhishan’s expression instantly froze. He knew that Luo Feiliang and his people were indeed madmen who followed no rules.
What he didn’t know was that the man called Su Rui was even more unreasonable than them—he was born to break rules.
“I’ll immediately gather the Economic Investigation Team for a meeting and send a notice to Tianxiang Group. Tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, we’ll enter Tianxiang headquarters on time.”
After saying this, Luo Feiliang turned and walked out.
