Siheyuan: Start with a big car

The security officers then realized that they seemed to have imprisoned a very important person.

"Really? You were the one who ordered the arrest of this person. Why are you yelling at us now?"

The security officers quickly opened the door of the detention room.

Zhang Qian was stunned at this moment. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

But she was sure that she seemed to be saved.

Captain Zhang Tao had a flattering smile on his face and walked quickly into the detention room.

He walked up to Li Weidong, bowed deeply, and said apologetically: "Director Li, I'm really sorry! It's all my fault for poor management. I was deceived by the foolish deputy captain Zhang.
This is why such a big misunderstanding happened. Please be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart.”

If it were in the past, Li Weidong would definitely let Captain Zhang Tao know why the flowers are so red.

But now he has more important things to do.

So, Li Weidong took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, looked at Zhang Tao calmly, and said, "Okay, Captain Zhang, I can forgive you for this matter.

However, you have to thoroughly investigate the false accusations against Zhang Qian and clear her name."

When Captain Zhang Tao heard Li Weidong's resignation, he felt relieved and secretly felt lucky to have escaped.

With a grateful smile on his face, he nodded hurriedly: "Of course, Director Li, rest assured, I will definitely do a great job on this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tao immediately turned around and instructed the security officer: "What are you still standing there for? Arrest Deputy Captain Zhang!"

Several security officers did not dare to delay and quickly stepped forward to firmly control Deputy Captain Zhang, who was still confused.

Zhang Tao strode up to Deputy Captain Zhang, his face full of anger, and asked, "Deputy Captain Zhang, tell me the truth, why did you frame Zhang Qian?"

Deputy Captain Zhang was still hoping for a lucky break and tried to argue. He stiffened his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Qian was having an affair. This is absolutely true!"

He looked so righteous, as if he was the messenger of justice.

Li Weidong stared at Deputy Captain Zhang with a sharp gaze and asked coldly, "If you are so sure, then who is the man who is having an affair with her?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Captain Zhang was delighted and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had prepared in advance. Without even thinking, he quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at a trembling male dancer next to him, "That's him!"

All of this was a plan made in advance by Deputy Captain Zhang.

A few days ago, he called the male dancer to his office and used coercion, inducement, promises of benefits, threats and intimidation to force the male dancer to agree to cooperate with him in framing Zhang Qian.

The male dancers were timid and cowardly by nature, so they had no choice but to nod under the soft and hard tactics of Deputy Captain Zhang.

Li Weidong looked stern and walked up to the male dancer without saying a word. The male dancer was frightened by his momentum and trembled all over. Li Weidong stared into his eyes and asked calmly, "What's your name?" The male dancer swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice with a bit of guilt, "My name is... Liu Yang."

"Liu Yang, this is a good name!"

Li Weidong pulled out a faint sneer from the corner of his mouth, but there was no warmth in that smile, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze ice. "Tell me, what is your relationship with Zhang Qian?"

Liu Yang raised his eyes and met Li Weidong's burning gaze. He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He looked at Deputy Captain Zhang, whose face was livid, and then at Director Chen, the leader of the ministry, whose expression was serious. His legs softened and he almost knelt down. He knew that if he continued to bear this matter, he would suffer the consequences.

"I... Zhang Qian and I really don't have any improper relationship!"

Liu Yang cried, his voice trembling, "It's all Vice Captain Zhang's fault! He wrote it on me!

A few days ago, he called me to his office and said that if I didn’t cooperate in framing Zhang Qian, he would make me unable to stay in the dance team, and he also threatened to cause trouble for my family.

He also said that if I did what he said, he would give me a raise and let me be the lead dancer. I… I was confused for a moment and agreed.”

As soon as Liu Yang finished speaking, the surrounding dancers went wild.

"This is too much. How could you do such a wicked thing!"

"That's right, we trusted him before!"

The team members were talking to each other, and angry accusations surged towards Deputy Captain Zhang like a tide.

Captain Zhang Tao's face was extremely ugly. He glared at Deputy Captain Zhang fiercely and immediately ordered loudly: "Catch him for me, don't let him embarrass himself here again!" However, just as the security officers were about to take action, Li Weidong suddenly said: "Wait, Deputy Captain Zhang framed me. This matter is under the jurisdiction of our steel rolling mill. We should take the man away."

When Captain Zhang Tao heard this, he was shocked. How could he dare to go against Li Weidong? Li Weidong was not only an important figure in the steel mill, but also had the support of the new energy vehicle export project. Even Director Chen valued him so much.

Thinking of this, Captain Zhang Tao nodded hurriedly, with a flattering smile on his face: "Director Li is right, everything is up to you. Then please ask the steel mill to take the person away."

Deputy Captain Zhang was terrified when he heard this. His legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground, shouting in panic, "No, don't take me to the steel mill. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"

He knew that if he was really taken to the steel mill, with Li Weidong's methods, his life might be completely over.

Li Weidong looked at the trembling Deputy Captain Zhang, with a faint sneer on his face, and slowly said: "I am not unreasonable. Deputy Captain Zhang, I can give you a chance. As long as you honestly tell me who is behind you doing these things, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."

When Deputy Captain Zhang heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw. Without thinking, he immediately spilled the beans about Zhong Yuemin. He said tremblingly, "It was... Zhong Yuemin. He threatened me! He said that if I didn't do what he said, he would find someone to deal with me and would also reveal all my shameful deeds. I... I was really scared, so I agreed to frame Zhang Qian."

Li Weidong frowned, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Zhong Yuemin was behind this.

Director Chen's face turned ugly when he heard this. He looked at Li Weidong and said, "Director Li, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly. We must not let this kind of person do whatever he wants." Li Weidong nodded and said firmly, "Director Chen, don't worry. I will not let him go. This time, I will make him pay for what he did."

This is the real reason why Li Weidong invited Director Chen.

Zhong Yuemin is a kid from a big compound, and only a ministry leader like Director Chen can deal with him.

Li Weidong already had a plan in mind. He turned to look at Section Chief Li with a stern expression and a firm tone, saying: "Section Chief Li, take your men to the compound immediately to capture Zhong Yuemin. Be careful and don't let him get away." Section Chief Li took the order and hurried to the compound with a dozen security officers.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the compound, they were stopped by the guards on duty. The guards looked serious, looked at everyone with vigilance, and said loudly: "This is the compound, no one outside the compound, please stay away, no one is allowed to approach!" Section Chief Li stepped forward, showed his relevant documents, and said politely but firmly: "We are acting on orders to arrest Zhong Yuemin, please cooperate."

However, the guards had no intention of letting them go and remained at their posts.

At the critical moment, Section Chief Li remained calm and produced the order letter issued in advance by Director Chen.

The guard took the order letter, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he had no choice but to let the person pass as instructed.

Section Chief Li strode into the compound with the security officers

At this time, Zhong Yuemin was lying leisurely on the sofa in his living room, with his eyes closed, intoxicated by the melodious melody coming from the record player.

Mr. Zhong sat aside, looking at his son doing nothing all day, and the anger in his heart could not help but rise up.

He frowned, his eyes full of disappointment, and couldn't help but lecture him, "Yuemin, you just spend your days messing around like this, and don't even find something serious to do. What are you going to do in the future?"

Zhong Yuemin slowly opened his eyes, with a nonchalant smile on his face, and sat up, saying disapprovingly: "Dad, why are you worrying about that?
With you here, how can I worry about not having a good life in the future? This foundation you worked so hard to build is for me to use.”

Father Zhong was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at Zhong Yuemin and his voice trembled slightly: "What are you talking about! Can I protect you forever? You have to rely on yourself. If you idle around like this all day, you will get into trouble sooner or later!"

Zhong Yuemin shrugged nonchalantly, picked up a cigarette beside him, lit it, took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and said nonchalantly: "Dad, please stop nagging. I know what's going on, just wait and see." After that, he lay back on the sofa.
At this moment, a quick knock on the door broke the slightly dull atmosphere in the room. Zhong Yuemin frowned and shouted impatiently, "Who is it?"

There was no answer outside the door. Zhong Yuemin waved his hand impatiently and instructed the attendant: "Go and see who is knocking on the door. Why is there no response after knocking?" The attendant hurriedly trotted to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Section Chief Li and a group of security officers rushed in like a gust of wind. Section Chief Li looked serious, his eyes locked on Zhong Yuemin, and he said loudly: "Zhong Yuemin, you are suspected of framing Li Weidong, and now we are taking you away for investigation!"

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he glared with disdain on his face and shouted angrily: "Do you have eyes? Don't you see where this is? How dare you act wild here!"

Section Chief Li was completely enraged by Zhong Yuemin's arrogant attitude. His face turned red, and he waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Go! Don't waste time talking to him!" The security officers received the order and quickly surrounded Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin panicked when he saw this. He struggled and quickly sought help from his father, his voice tinged with tears: "Dad, save me! I was framed by Li Weidong, they are taking revenge for their personal gain!"

Mr. Zhong was originally sitting nearby, and was also shocked when he saw this sudden change.

Hearing his son's cry for help, he frowned, stood up and tried to stop the security officers.

He looked at Section Chief Li and said in a stern tone, "Stop it first! You have to have an explanation for arresting someone. You said my son framed me, but where is the evidence?"

Section Chief Li looked at Mr. Zhong. Although he was apprehensive, he still said, "Mr. Zhong, we are also following orders.

There is irrefutable evidence that Zhong Yuemin had instigated Deputy Captain Zhang to frame Li Weidong, which led to Zhang Qian being unjustly fired. Now that the truth is out, we must take him away."

Mr. Zhong's face turned very ugly. He looked at his panicked son, then at Section Chief Li who had a firm attitude, and knew in his heart that this matter might not be simple.

But how could he watch his son being taken away? Zhong's father took a step forward, straightened his back, and spoke with unquestionable majesty: "This is a compound, and your steel mill security department has no authority to arrest people here. How can you barge in like this?"

Although Chief Li was a little nervous, he had a mission to accomplish. He calmly took out Director Chen's order letter from his pocket, handed it to Zhong's father, and said, "Mr. Zhong, we are acting on Director Chen's orders. Please read this order letter. Director Chen personally inquired about this matter, and I believe you are aware of its seriousness."

Mr. Zhong took the order letter, looked at it carefully, and the expression on his face became more solemn.

He secretly groaned in his heart, realizing that his son was really in big trouble this time. Director Chen held a high position in the ministry, and the weight of his order was self-evident. Although he was unwilling, he also knew that he could not openly disobey.

Seeing his father remain silent and his face grow paler, Zhong Yuemin was terrified. When the security officers came forward to grab his arms and prepared to take him away, he could no longer control himself and shouted: "Dad, save me! Dad, they must have wronged me, please think of a solution!"

"I am your only son. If I get caught, our family will be wiped out."

Zhong Yuemin’s last words touched his father’s heart.

So he decisively ordered the attendant: "Prepare the car and go to the steel mill!"

Soon, Mr. Zhong arrived at the steel mill and went straight to Li Weidong's office. He took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and pushed the door open.

Li Weidong was slightly startled when he saw Mr. Zhong coming in, then he stood up.

Father Zhong spoke in an elder's manner and with a hint of apology: "It is my fault for not educating me well this time. I have caused you so much trouble. I apologize." He bowed slightly, his face full of sincerity.

Then, Zhong's father sighed and said helplessly: "Zhong Yuemin is a child who has been spoiled by me on weekdays. He does things in a very indecent way. I promise that I will strictly discipline him in the future and never let him do such a bastard thing again."

Director Yang was also nearby. Upon hearing this, he immediately winked at Li Weidong. Mr. Zhong had a special status, and it would definitely not be worth it to offend such a big shot just because of a member of a dance team.

"Weidong, Mr. Zhong has already apologized. I think we should just forget about this matter."
