Chapter Forty-Five Making a Record

  "How formidable?" Liu Yanzi exclaimed in surprise, then immediately became dazed again, furrowing her brow and saying: "What did you say the Deputy Minister of the Defense Department was called?"

  "The forest is quiet, the twin woods, the son said, leisurely and carefree." A colleague from the Eight Trigrams said: "From now on, if you see this person, be extremely careful not to provoke him. This guy even beats women, the former head of the General Affairs Department was a woman, I heard she was electrocuted with an electric baton and dragged away by him."

  "Lin Zi is free?" Liu Yanzi exclaimed: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

  Colleagues from Ba Gua said strangely: "What? Do you know Deputy Director Lin?"

  Liu Yanzhi thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "It's just a coincidence. The person I know who is also called Lin Zixian is an unemployed vagrant, how can he be compared to Deputy Director Lin?"

  Gao Yunliang was taken back to the police station not long after, and then sent to the hospital. After emergency treatment, he was admitted into a ward. The problem isn't very serious, just a slight internal bleeding, and several broken ribs. He hasn't come around yet.

  He's okay, after all, he spat out the cigarette he had eaten. Huang Mao and several others were miserable, suffering from nicotine poisoning, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting non-stop, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize them.

  In the ward, Dong Jiayun cried so sadly that her sister was comforting her by her side, while her husband hung his head in silence.

  Officer Li, who was originally promoted by Qiu Renzhan, is now reporting the situation to Deputy Director Qiu outside the hospital room with a gloomy face.

  "Are you saying that man assaulted a police officer and Deputy Director Zhang let him go?" asked Qiu Renzhan.

  "Yes! This deputy director doesn't know what's going on either, he doesn't even understand the judicial procedure." Captain Li complained, after all, his subordinate was beaten and lost face in public, so he had to report it to the old leader in front of Deputy Director Zhang.

  Qiu Renzhan had his own thoughts and felt that things might not be so simple. He furrowed his brow and asked, "What's the name of the person who hit him?"

  "This... hadn't even had a chance to ask before Deputy Director Zhang let him off." Captain Li said weakly: "However, Gao Yunliang and the others might know."

  "What nonsense! The person who beat someone up wasn't even identified before being let go." Qiu Renzhan seemed to be scolding Li, but no matter how you listened to it, it sounded like he was talking about Deputy Director Zhang.

  The two turned their heads and walked towards another ward, coming to the collective ward of Huang Mao's three men to understand the situation. Compared with Gao Yunliang's treatment, these three were much worse off and did not have the conditions to enjoy an independent ward.

  Qiu Renzhan was furious when he saw these three guys who were neither human nor ghost. He had always thought that it was this group of idle people who had corrupted Gao Yunliang. So from start to finish, he kept a straight face, and the questioning was all conducted by Captain Li.

  It was learned that the person who injured Gao Yunliang was again Lin, the deputy minister of the Minghua Group. Qiu Renzhan's face turned dark on the spot, and he left with a flick of his hand.

  Donghai University, Lin Zixian sent Zhang Beibei to the teaching building and a group of female classmates immediately came over to help. Some bold ones started flirting with Lin Zixian, who unreservedly teased them back, such as guessing their measurements. The group of female classmates scolded him for being a pervert, but still surrounded this pervert without letting go, looking like they were flirting. Zhang Beibei on the side couldn't help but laugh and cry, finally understanding what it means that girls don't love boys who aren't bad.

  It was almost time for class, and Lin Zi reluctantly bid farewell to her classmates.

  It was said that he would go to the police station in the afternoon to cooperate with the investigation, but Zhang Zhen wouldn't let him have any trouble. As soon as Lin Ziyou walked out of the school gate, a policeman got out of a police car parked at the entrance and showed his ID: "Director Zhang asked me to pick you up."

  Some things have to be laid out, otherwise they can't be at ease. Lin Zile didn't say anything and left his bicycle in the school security department. The security guard on duty saw that it was him, this awesome guy, and immediately promised to take good care of his bike.

  There was only one policeman driving in the police car who took Lin Zixin and quickly drove towards the police station.

  After arriving at the Donghai Police Station, the police officer led the way in front. As soon as they entered the police station, they saw Ju Renzhan and a group of uniformed police officers rushing out from both sides, blocking Lin Zixian and asking: "Are you Lin Zixian?"

  It seems obvious that they knew Lin Zixuan was coming to the police station to surrender this afternoon, so they had been waiting here early.

  Lin Zi lit a cigarette with a carefree air, glanced at Captain Li beside him, and only then asked: "What kind of person are you?"

  Seeing him so arrogant and daring not to respond to Old Leader's words, Captain Li immediately helped answer: "Director Qiu, it was him."

  Qiu Ren's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted: "How dare you attack a police officer in public! Take him away and interrogate him severely!"

  A group of police rushed over immediately, and the policeman who had been chatting with Lin Zile suddenly blocked Lin Zile's path, shouting "Halt!" At the same time, he drew his gun without hesitation, loaded a bullet into the chamber, scanned the surroundings, aimed the muzzle at Qiu Renzhan, and said in an icy tone: "Whoever dares to move will be shot dead on the spot!"

  Everyone present was stunned, oh my! Is this new cop crazy or what? He actually dared to pull a gun on his colleague in the police station, threatening to shoot him dead, and the muzzle was even pointed at Deputy Director Qiu. It seems he doesn't want to be a cop anymore.

  But everyone really didn't dare to move, no one would joke with their lives and such a madman, who can guarantee that he won't actually fire the gun?

  Lin Zile smiled silently and didn't speak. He had already guessed the identities of Zhang Zhen's group. As for this policeman daring to pull out a gun and threaten his colleagues, he wasn't surprised in the least.

  People like Zhang Zhen, who are on a secret front line, have special permits to carry guns in order to perform their tasks smoothly within the country. In emergency situations, they can directly shoot and kill people. This special permit is, in plain language, a legitimate license to kill. After killing someone, they basically do not receive any interference from judicial organs. Afterwards, they only need to explain internally whether it was a crime or not; what they say goes, and other units have no right to interfere.

  Qiu Renzhan didn't expect to be pointed at by a subordinate with a gun, and he was startled on the spot. Guns are things that can misfire, so normally people who use guns won't point them at others. After being startled, his face turned black with rage, pointing at the police officer and shouting: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to rebel?"

  "Put down the gun." Zhang Zhenxing's voice came, and everyone turned their heads to see Zhang Zhenxing leading a group of police officers walking over, directly pushing away Qu Ruihan's group and clearing a path.

  "Mr. Lin, would you mind going with them to make a record first?" Zhang Zhen pointed at his own men and said to Lin Zi.

  Lin Zile smiled and said, "I am a law-abiding citizen, I'm happy to cooperate with the police." After finishing speaking, he left under the escort of the group of police officers, and before leaving, he playfully glanced at Deputy Director Qiu.

  Qiu Ren's old face turned black as a pot bottom, glaring at Zhang Zhen and saying: "Deputy Director Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

  Zhang Zhen looked at him indifferently and said: "Deputy Director Qiu, this case was taken over by me first, please don't interfere with my handling of the case."

  "Zhang Zhenxing, this man assaulted a police officer in public, don't you understand the judicial process?" Qiu Renzhao angrily exclaimed.

  "This is an order personally given by Director Wang, and both of us must carry it out. If you have any opinions, you can appeal to Director Wang." Zhang Zhenhang threw down a sentence and turned his head to leave, seemingly not putting Qiu Renzhan in his eyes at all. Infuriated, Qiu Renzhan shouted loudly and pushed away his subordinates, really running towards the director's office upstairs.

  Arriving at the director's office door, Qiu Renzhan was confused and didn't even knock on the door, directly pushing it open and entering.

  Behind the office desk, a slightly stout old policeman with two colored pencils in his hand was drawing on a file. He was Wang Sen, the director of Donghai Police Station.

  Director Wang, wearing a pair of reading glasses, didn't raise his head. His gaze was cast from above the glasses and fell on Qiu Renzhang, who had burst in uninvited. He furrowed his brow before officially raising his head to smile: "Old Qiu, what's got you so worked up?"

  Qiu Renzhan strode to his desk, his voice stern and accusatory: "Director Wang, that newly transferred Vice Director Zhang is also too much. Not only did he repeatedly shield the criminal who assaulted a police officer in public, but he even allowed his subordinates to point a loaded gun at colleagues, with the muzzle almost pressed against my forehead! Is there still any law left?"

  "Director Zhang?" Director Wang paused, put down the pen and documents in his hand, took off his reading glasses, leaned back in his chair and sighed: "Old Qiu, it's not me saying this, but your younger brother-in-law's son needs to be taught a lesson. If he continues to cause trouble, sooner or later it will implicate you."

  "I...!" Jiuzi's face turned red with rage, his eyes bulging out like a Buddha descending from heaven and another ascending to the sky. He himself ran over to report the matter, but ended up becoming the one in the wrong. His voice trembling with anger, he said: "Director Wang, I request that a Party Committee meeting be convened to discuss this matter!"

  "I don't agree to discuss this matter at the party committee meeting. Old Qiu, focus on your own work! Don't interfere with Deputy Director Zhang's affairs, it won't do you any good if things get out of hand." Director Wang said seriously, looking at him.

  There were some things that Director Wang couldn't explicitly state, such as Zhang Zhenhang's background. He wasn't clear about it either, but he had received a top-secret order from the Public Security Bureau to fully cooperate. It was obvious that the other party had come with a secret mission, and even he didn't have the power to intervene, only to fully cooperate. Although he had already vaguely guessed Zhang Zhenhang's identity, this matter definitely couldn't be told to Ju Renzhan, otherwise, if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

  "Director Wang! Is this your opinion?" Qiu Renzhan gritted his teeth and said.

  "You can think of it that way."

  "It seems that our police station has no justice to speak of, I will appeal to the higher authorities!" Qiu Renzhan turned around and left in a huff, his anger bursting forth.

  He thought that if this matter did not achieve a satisfactory result, what face would he have in front of his subordinates in the future? Moreover, he believed that he was standing on reason and that this was an excellent opportunity to seize benefits. If handled properly, it was possible that the "deputy" prefix before his title would be removed.
