Chapter Summary
He couldn't afford to waste his time on a mere station chief; he needed direct evidence against them. He simply put the station chief out in the open, making sure they all saw that their boss was nothing more than an ant in his hands. When their eyes turned to him, Liu Ning was still confused about what was going on, but Zhu Tianhua immediately remembered that the director who had just been dragged out was related to his elder brother.
To be honest, Liu Ning did this to make an example of them. You could tell from the way the station chief acted that these people were resentful. Since they were so defiant, he had to take swift and decisive action to show them what fear was. If they didn't learn their lesson, things would get complicated. He couldn't afford to waste his time on a mere station chief; he needed direct evidence against them. So, Liu Ning didn't want to waste his breath arguing with them. He simply put the station chief out in the open, making sure they all saw that their boss was nothing more than an ant in his hands. If they wanted to play tricks on him, they'd better see if they had the ability. If not, they'd better confess quickly; it would benefit everyone.
At this moment, many people looked at Zhu Tianhua beside him. When their eyes turned to him, Liu Ning was still confused about what was going on, but Zhu Tianhua immediately remembered that the director who had just been dragged out was related to his elder brother. His elder brother had mentioned before that the director was one of his old subordinates. It was truly a case of family members not recognizing each other. However, Zhu Tianhua didn't say anything. Even if he had a good relationship with his elder brother, he still had to understand what was happening. If he said anything more, he might offend Liu Ning. Once you were on Liu Ning's radar, it wouldn't be so easy to clear your name later. So Zhu Tianhua pretended not to see everyone's gaze.
Those people's meaning was very clear: they all hoped that Zhu Tianhua would step forward and say something. "We are all your elder brother's old comrades," they said. Unfortunately, these people were too low-ranking and had no idea about the internal strife within the Lord of the Manor's family. If they knew even a little bit about the situation, they probably wouldn't want Zhu Tianhua to speak up. The two brothers are now like oil and water, and both want to inherit the Lord of the Manor's business. So if Zhu Tianhua speaks up, it will be to send you all in. After all, you are all on the side of the eldest son. If you are allowed to act recklessly outside, you will become Zhu Tianhua's enemies in the future. By sending you in now, it is equivalent to cutting off some of the eldest brother's career, which will save him a lot of effort in future struggles.
"Please don't look at me. Although I participated in the investigation, I hope you understand that I was just there to carry out the task. To put it bluntly, I was just an aide to Councilor Liu. I did whatever Councilor Liu asked me to do. Moreover, this matter also represents my father's wishes. My father has served this city for so many years, and he doesn't want to see any crisis in the city. Although this crisis hasn't caused social panic yet, we all understand that if this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, it would be irresponsible to the entire city. I also advise you to abandon any unrealistic fantasies and tell me everything you know. I guarantee you will be treated fairly."
Zhu Tianhua's words were ostensibly an explanation to everyone present, but in reality, they were meant for Liu Ning. When they all looked over, Zhu Tianhua knew Liu Ning didn't understand. If Liu Ning understood, Zhu Tianhua wouldn't bother explaining. Even if everyone in the patrol station was killed, what business was it of Zhu Tianhua's? He wouldn't interfere. So, he was explaining to Liu Ning. Hearing this, Liu Ning nodded. This kid understands now, he knows who to follow. If he were still that indecisive person, he wouldn't need a subordinate like that. Having a subordinate like that would only cause trouble. What he needed was someone decisive and ruthless who could pave the way for him, so he could resolve the problem quickly. He was still waiting to go to the ancient ruins.
After Zhou Tianhua finished speaking, Liu Ning adopted a tough stance, and the people present immediately couldn't hold back any longer. They all pulled out their smart devices and called back everyone on the list. Don't underestimate this small patrol station; it has many people in charge at all levels. After all, there are many people in their jurisdiction. If they are short-handed, let alone managing those public security cases, it's another matter whether they can even keep their own lives. At this moment, these people all abandoned their bad habits and stood obediently by the window like timid wives, waiting for Liu Ning to ask questions. This was exactly the effect Liu Ning needed. If you make a mistake, you have to show the attitude of making a mistake. Who were you acting for with that arrogance just now?
While waiting for these people, Liu Ning reviewed their files again. He was shocked by what he saw. When the city was first established, the entire patrol station only had a little over 10,000 people, with only about 3,000 assigned to their area. Of course, the city's population was relatively small back then. Now, the city has grown to nearly 100 million people, and their patrol station alone is responsible for several million citizens, so their numbers have grown to 90,000. This density is already very high. Liu Ning was also startled when he saw this. However, many of them were not officially employed, and Liu Ning couldn't be bothered with such matters. As long as he could sort out his own affairs, he didn't have time to deal with this. There are too many unfair things in society; should he be the one to handle them all?
About ten minutes later, everyone rushed back. They had received the news that even their leader hadn't been able to hold out. In their eyes, their leader was extremely well-connected, so close to the eldest son of the garrison commander, and he often boasted about their excellent relationship. Such a person should have been an unshakeable figure in officialdom; even if he couldn't get promoted every two years, at least no one would covet his position, because it would bring trouble to many people. But now, not only had he failed to keep his position, but the matter had become extremely complicated, landing him in jail. All because this guy offended Councilor Liu. What a fool! Who could he possibly offend?
