Chapter 1408 A Small Person Bears All the Burden

Jia Zhongyue stared at Li Ye for a long time before finally smiling.

To force a smile when facing an enemy is definitely an ultimate skill of S-rank difficulty.

"Deputy General Manager Li, you've come from afar, and we haven't yet shown you the proper hospitality. Why don't we have a meal first, and then we can have a proper talk?"

Li Ye glanced at the sun outside the window; it was only a little past nine. Calling him for dinner at this hour really showed a lack of sincerity.

So Li Ye said calmly, "There's no need for dinner, but you need to immediately take control of Ma Haimao, because our people have identified him as the murderer, and your three workers have also admitted that he is one of the murderers."

Jia Zhongyue waved his hand and said as gently as possible, "It was just an accidental injury during a conflict between workers. Don't talk about who the perpetrator is. This is an internal matter, and we'll handle it internally."

"Internal solution?"

Li Ye sneered, "You mean you're going to put me under house arrest here, just like my twenty-eight workers, and treat me like a prisoner?"

"Comrade Li Ye, please note that we are not treating you as prisoners; it is you who are not treating us as one of your own."

Gan Zhongjie, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "I already said last time that the data you handed over to us had a lot of omissions. We asked your technicians to fill in the gaps, and they were being sarcastic and unhelpful."

Gan Zhongjie did give this reason when he met Li Ye yesterday, but Li Ye interrupted him on the spot. However, today, Li Ye quietly let him say it to his heart's content.

However, after Gan Zhongjie finished speaking, Li Ye picked up the phone on the spot and called Director Liang's office in the ministry.

"Hello, I'm Li Ye from Jingnan Group. I'm looking for Director Liang."

"Li Ye? What do you want? Are you here to ask me to collect payment for the goods?"

"When did I ever urge them to pay? I had important business to attend to," Li Ye said helplessly. "After we merged with Southwest Heavy Truck, we transferred KamAZ's technical data to them."
However, they believe there are omissions in the documents, which led to a conflict with our workers, resulting in two serious injuries. Now I need the original sealing certificate from Moscow.”

When the data on Kamas was received in Moscow, Liang Furu arranged for several people to work together to organize it, which took three days. Furthermore, there were standardized procedures and records for sending the data back to China.

The record clearly states the total number of pages in Kamas's file, so Li Ye's request is perfectly reasonable.

However, Gan Zhongjie and Jia Zhongyue both found these words unbelievable.

Don't you know any rules? Are you really going to cause a huge uproar?

Before Li Ye came to the Southwest, the higher-ups had already tacitly agreed that they should resolve the matter themselves. After all, if the higher-ups were to step in to uphold justice, the procedures alone would take several days, and once the procedures were followed, even trivial matters could escalate into major incidents. It was better to avoid trouble.

But now Li Ye has clumsily intervened. Even if he used a "borderline" approach to avoid the formal procedures, he has still caused a real escalation of the situation.

This will certainly cause many people above to resent Li Ye for "meddling," but it will also negatively impact the image of Southwest Heavy Truck above.

Now Jia Zhongyue just hopes that "Director Liang" on the other end of the phone won't meddle in other people's business, and that he can at least give Li Ye a good scolding.

Because Li Ye's act of reporting to higher authorities without authorization is somewhat irregular and will cause trouble for Director Liang.

A well-functioning government agency must have complex and rigorous operating rules, with mutual supervision and checks and balances at each level. Any behavior that violates the procedures and rules will only cause unnecessary trouble.

Just as a certain great man in later generations might react with the sluggishness of an elderly person with Parkinson's disease when faced with a false accusation, the handling of a matter, from beginning to end, involves several stages.
Every step involves a power struggle of various interests, and no one would want to create unnecessary trouble unless it is truly necessary.

"Those two workers were only seriously injured, not dead. Was it really necessary?"

However, Liang Furu on the other end of the phone clearly wouldn't scold Li Ye just to avoid trouble.

He immediately asked seriously, "What? Two people seriously injured? Who dared to do that?" Li Ye calmly replied, "Two suspects have been identified, and the police have launched an investigation. However, Southwest Heavy Truck believes that we deliberately omitted information and provoked them first."

"Nonsense! I'll have Xiao Sun and Lao Feng take the sealing certificate over right now. We must investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of this."

"OK, thanks"

"."

After Li Ye sincerely thanked him, he hung up the phone.

Liang Furu was already showing as much "bias" as possible towards Li Ye, because Sun Xianjin was Li Ye's best friend, and Lao Feng had also become familiar with Li Ye when they were in Moscow. The two of them came here seemingly to "verify the information," but in reality, they were there to take sides.

Jia Zhongyue and Gan Zhongjie understood this principle as well. Upon hearing Li Ye say "thank you," they could no longer contain themselves and immediately got up and left.

They needed to quickly seek help and also check the whereabouts of the three missing workers, especially the latter, as it could be a fatal mistake.

Because both sides have their own "confessions," and Li Ye also has his own "confession," and the two confessions are completely contradictory, is this an attempt to kill someone?
Seeing Jia Zhongyue and Gan Zhongjie leave in a hurry, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little powerless.

One of the two testimonies is definitely false, but the process of proving it is certainly very subtle, and it is even possible that both testimonies will become invalid simultaneously.

After all, the person who extracts the confession is unlikely to make a mistake. It's already good enough that Wen Guohua was able to find someone to help Li Ye. Unless there are special circumstances, it's unlikely that they would turn against each other and break off relations.

At that time, Li Ye will likely have to return to square one, and under the guidance of his superiors, prioritize the overall situation and handle the matter internally.

"Ah~"

Li Ye sighed softly, suddenly feeling a little sleepy.

Since receiving the news the day before yesterday, he hasn't slept well for the past two days. Now, with both sides secretly preparing for their showdown, he, the commander in the open, has a little free time.

Li Ye was slightly drowsy for a while, then suddenly felt hungry.

I glanced at my watch; it was 12:30.

Damn it, they don't even provide meals.

Li Ye stood up, about to go out to find something to eat, when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Uncle, this is Jiang Shiqi. Zhang Wenchang and his family secretly slipped out of the hospital and headed towards the train station. We are following them."

"Oh, just follow them. As long as they don't get on the train, there's no need to stop them."

Li Ye hung up the phone and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

In the end, must the little people still bear all the burdens?

Li Ye dialed a number: "Hello, Brother Qin, this is Li Ye. One of the injured people from our unit has apparently committed perjury and is now fleeing to the train station to evade punishment."
Please don't hesitate, let's handle this officially and solve the case quickly. Oh, thank you! Hehehe, I must treat you when we get to the capital.

The person who fabricated the two testimonies cannot be held responsible, so the only one who can be held responsible is Zhang Wenchang.

Unfortunately, Li Ye's last shred of pity for Zhang Wenchang had vanished this morning; otherwise, Zhang Wenchang wouldn't have lost his most reliable protector.
