Chapter 23: Admission of Guilt

  The second update is delivered, collect it! Recommend it! Big brothers and sisters, the new book urgently needs support! Everyone, cheer up!

  "Jie, what you said makes sense, but the more I think about it, there's a problem. I suspect this is a conspiracy, can you help me investigate? Jamesson isn't stupid, from leaving the hotel to finding the hair salon, it took less than half an hour, and those security guards were like they had been waiting in ambush, not only catching him red-handed but also taking photos as evidence."

  Although Jamieson didn't mind, he didn't want to be taken advantage of so easily, so before leaving the police station, he directly made a request to Yang Jie.

  Yang Jie had long anticipated that Jamison would be suspicious of this matter, after all, the experienced Jamison who had been through many intrigues and conspiracies. He didn't mind being caught once, but it didn't mean he wouldn't care about who was behind the scenes making trouble. This incident might not have targeted him directly, but it did have an impact on the subsequent project negotiations with Xunhe County.

  "Jamerson, after the project is settled, Quanjiao County will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. As for whether there is a conspiracy, it cannot be judged superficially and needs to be investigated."

  Currently the most important thing is to minimize the impact of this matter as much as possible. The relevant personnel will definitely be punished, but you also have a certain responsibility for this matter, and I hope you can face it squarely.

  Huaxia is a country ruled by law, and Yongqiao County is also a place that follows the rule of law. No matter what the cause of this matter is, it will not be handled unfairly just because you are a foreign merchant. I believe you wouldn't want to make business investments in a place that doesn't follow legal discipline, has no rules or principles, and can't guarantee your investment interests, would you?

  "Jie, you're right. Obeying the law and following regulations is everyone's duty. Doing things according to legal procedures is a must for a country ruled by law. Everyone is equal before the law. I'm willing to accept punishment. The negotiation with Xunhe County will proceed normally. I believe this matter won't affect our future negotiations." Jamison nodded heavily in agreement after hearing Yang Jie's words.

  Doing business is not afraid of many rules, but it's feared without any rules. Businessmen naturally have their own set of rules. If there were no constraints of rules, it would be a very dangerous thing in itself. Jamieson was educated from an early age to follow the law and do things accordingly, so he did not resist what Yang Jie said in his heart.

  "According to the Hua Xia Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, your behavior should be subject to 15 days of administrative detention and a fine of 500 yuan. However, due to humanitarian considerations, the county has decided to make an exception and reduce the punishment, so you don't need to serve the administrative detention, just pay the fine and you can leave here."

  "Jie, before I pay the fine, I have an impolite request." Jamesson said with some embarrassment as he looked at Yang Jie in front of him.

  "Speak!" Yang Jie raised an eyebrow, looking at Jamison sitting in the chair.

  "When the police caught me, they took some indecent photos of me. I hope that after paying the fine, the police can destroy those photos." Jamison's face turned red as he looked at Yang Jie with some embarrassment.

  Yang Jie smiled and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely help you with this."

  After talking to Jamison privately, the next thing was easy. Yang Jie took out the 500 yuan that Chen Yuan had given him and handed it over to Jamison, asking him to pay the fine personally later.

  Two men walked out of the interrogation room and saw Chen Yinglong still waiting at the door, "Captain Chen, Mr. Jamieson is willing to accept the punishment from the Public Security Brigade, take him to go through the punishment procedures!"

  Chen Yinglong did not expect that Yang Jie and Jamison would whisper to each other for a short while, and then Jamison was persuaded. Looking at Jamison's expressionless face, he hastily made a please gesture to Jamison, taking him to his team captain's office, where he personally handled the fine procedures for Jamison.

  Originally, according to the county party committee's intention, Jamesson only needed to pay a fine of 100 yuan, which would serve as a punishment. However, Jamesson insisted on paying the normal fine amount. Chen Yinglong sought help from Yang Jie, but Yang Jie indicated that Chen Yinglong should follow the regulations.

  A fine of 500 yuan, not a penny less. After Jiemosen paid the fine, Chen Yinglong issued a receipt to Jiemosen and destroyed all the negatives of the indecent photos of Jiemosen taken by Wang Biao in front of Yang Jie and Jiemosen.

  Luo Song and Yang Hua saw Yang Jie bring down Jamesson, immediately came forward to greet them. Yang Jie frowned at Luo Song, "Director Luo, Mr. Jamesson has been in the interrogation room for a whole night and is extremely tired. He now needs to return to the hotel to rest, otherwise it will delay tomorrow's project negotiation work. No need to say more, we'll leave first!"

  Yang Jie said, opening the rear door of Santana, letting Jamison get in first. As he was about to get on, Yang Hua came forward and said, "Comrade Yang, I've caused you trouble today. It's all because I'm too indulgent, which has added trouble to the county's investment promotion work. Please forgive me."

  Luo Song stood by, sneering at Yang Hua's words with a mocking smile on his face. When Yang Jie saw Luo Song like that, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. This Luo Song was so protective of Wang Biao, it was likely that he had instructed Wang Biao to do this, so Yang Jie didn't have a good impression of Luo Song at all.

  Looking at Yang Hua in front of him, Yang Jie smiled and said: "Director Yang, we both have the surname Yang. One stroke can't write two Yang characters. Those polite words are for outsiders. We're family, so let's not say two sets of words. I hope you can keep today's matter confidential and control the impact. I'll send Mr. Jamison back to rest first. We'll meet again when we have time."

  Can't help but say that Yang Jie gave enough face to Yang Hua, letting Luo Song's complexion change suddenly, with a gloomy face and a cold hum, he turned around and walked to the side. As for Yang Jie, an ordinary county committee office worker who had just come out of the grass, Luo Song, the head of the county bureau, didn't take him seriously yet.

  "Alright! Younger brother Yang, have a good trip. Another day, older brother will treat you to drinks." Seeing Yang Jie giving him face like this, Yang Hua directly addressed Yang Jie as "older brother" and started treating him with the etiquette due to an elder, without any intention of being humble or reserved.

  "That little brother is waiting for the big brother's wine, it's settled!" After Yang Jie smiled and promised to come, he bid farewell to Yang Hua and Chen Yinglong, got into the Santana, and the car quickly drove out of the Public Security Bureau's gate, heading in the direction of the Yuhe Hotel.

  Yang Jie personally escorted Jamieson to his room at the Binjiang Hotel and then took a car back to the county committee compound.

  Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping were still waiting for news in the office, while Yang Jie came to Zhou Dalong's office with ease, knocked on the door, saw Zhou Dalong and two others discussing county work, smiled and stepped forward to report on the situation.

  After Yang Jie reported the situation of his conversation with Jamison to Zhou Dalong and others, Zhou Dalong, Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  When Jamison refused to leave the security team and wanted Jimmy to come to the security team himself, Zhou Dalong and others were really worried that if things got out of hand, they would be unable to control the situation. Fortunately, Yang Jie handled it properly, not only did he have a bottle of fine wine that caught Jamison's eye, but he also had a good private relationship with Jimmy, which was enough to calm down Jamison and make him back down, handling the matter in a low-key manner as intended by the county.

  After getting Jamieson, the two of them, Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping, both had a satisfied smile on their faces as they looked at Yang Jie in front of them. Zhou Dalong was one hundred twenty percent satisfied.

  "Xiao Jie, you still have to rush back to Hukou Township tonight and try to tell Jimmy about the Jamison matter tomorrow morning. This way, you can take the initiative. With your relationship with Jimmy and this incident being justified, I believe Mr. Jimmy will understand. Don't delay, hurry back!" Zhou Dalong instructed Yang Jie after he finished his report.

  "Alright! Yang Jie guarantees to complete the task entrusted by the secretary." Yang Jie said, standing up and solemnly assuring Zhou Dalong.

  Yang Jie rode in Chen Yuan's car, and when they returned to Hukou Township, the sky had already begun to lighten. After a busy night, they finally handled the matter of Jamison. If it weren't for Jamison's coveting Yang Jie's rejuvenating wine, if it weren't for Jimmy establishing a pretty good private relationship with Yang Jie, this matter might have been difficult for Hukou County to handle.

  Fortunately, things have finally come to an end. Yang Jie quietly returned home and lay in bed thinking about the situation in the county, and soon fell asleep.
