Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 749 Web

Furama Hotel.

Chen Hui's phone rang; it was Lao Chen.

Chen Hui answered the phone: "Dad."

Old Chen asked, "Back to the hotel?"

Chen Hui said, "Yeah, it's all over. Those people have been arrested. The rest of us are at the hotel."

Old Chen said, "Okay, that's good. Go to sleep early." He hung up the phone. Chen Hui looked at Xiao Wei with the phone in his hand: "What does this mean?"

Xiao Wei said, "Uncle Chen is worried. He probably can't sleep. He just wants to confirm the situation."

Chen Hui smacked his lips and said, "I still have to keep it from my mom. My husband has it tough. Luckily, I'm relatively easy to take care of."

The phone rang again. Chen Hui glanced at it and handed it to Xiao Wei: "This is definitely yours."

Xiao Wei answered the phone; it was Director Qin: "Xiao Hui or Xiao Wei? What's the situation? You can answer the phone now, so everything's alright?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's alright, they've all been arrested. We're at the hotel, don't worry."

Director Qin said, "I'll notify the department first thing tomorrow morning, and I'll bring people over."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you. It's really too much trouble for you."

Director Qin said, "Stop talking nonsense. Alright, get some rest."

Chen Hui took the phone and said, "I'll get you a number when I get back. I've become your contact person."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Alright, everyone go back to your rooms and get some sleep. Get up early tomorrow."

Wang Gang, Li Weibing, and Mi Le all stood up and walked out. Mi Le's face had changed color after being treated with a hot towel, and it looked a bit scary.

Xiao Wei asked, "Milo, are you sure you're okay? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Miler shook his head, hissed, and said, "It's nothing, it's not like it's the first time I've been in a fight. It's just a superficial injury, but I'm going to suffer for the next couple of days. It'll probably be swollen to a pulp by tomorrow. Luckily, it's not on my face."

The group went back to their rooms to rest.

Not far from the Fuli Hua Hotel, at Zhongshan Square, near the entrance of the Cultural Palace.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Qu sat in the Santana with the window open. As a red dot inside the car flickered on and off, smoke drifted out of the window.

The mobile phone on the side shelf vibrated. Prosecutor Qu picked up the phone, frowned, and answered: "Hey, where have you been again? What time is it? If you're not planning to come back, just say so. I'll take my son and live with you."

After listening to the other end of the line roar, Qu Jian said, "Have you ever raised a son? Where is your son?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then asked, "What happened to my son? Where is he? Did something happen? Huh? Was my son bullied? Speak up, are you dead? What happened to my son? Let me tell you, if my son is being bullied outside..."

"Shut up," Prosecutor Qu scolded. "If you hadn't spoiled him all the time, would he be in this state today? Who would dare to bully him? Your son is so powerful now, you should be grateful he doesn't bully others all the time. I'm trying to figure out how to handle this, you go to sleep first."

The person on the other end said, "What happened? Did you fight? Was my son hurt? No, where is he? I have to go check on him."

Qu Jian said, "I can't get in no matter where you are. How are you going to look? You're always causing trouble and you've messed with people you shouldn't mess with. Just stay home and stop causing me trouble, okay? I'm about to lose all my hair."

The person on the other end said, "Who did you offend? You can't even save face? Well, Xiao Gang can't let this go unpunished, right? Where is he locked up? Will he get beaten up? Tell me where he is, I'll go check on him, or I'll go find my dad."

Prosecutor Qu said, "The other party is a section chief from the provincial department. I'm trying to figure something out. My son is fine now, he's at the branch office, they won't dare to do anything. Can you please stop causing me trouble, okay, grandma?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end: "No, I have to bring my son back. What's the point of him staying there? How can he sleep well?"

Qu Jian said, "Don't go anywhere. Just stay home and behave yourself. I need to find someone to investigate the other party's background. Don't cause trouble at this time, okay? Hang up the phone, I need to make a call."

After hanging up the phone, Prosecutor Qu sighed, thought for a moment, and then dialed a number.

"Feed? Old Zhu? I'm Old Qu."

"Prosecutor Qu, it's not that I don't want to help, I've already sent people, but the other side has too much influence, I can't do anything about it. Please understand, try to find your father-in-law or someone higher up as soon as possible, okay? Don't make things difficult for me."

"No, no, no, Old Zhu, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask, who's on the other side? What's their identity?"

"...He's from the provincial department, in the inspection division, a senior researcher at the division level. I really can't afford to offend him. One word from him and my position as bureau chief would be over."

"What about the others? Just this one? He's a section-level official, not a section chief. Old Zhu, you can't be serious, can you?"

"The military, they're all generals. One's from the Xidu mayor's family, and the other's from the power industry, a vice-provincial level. Old Qu, we've known each other for ages. How many things have I done for you? Do you think I'm heartless? This time I couldn't hold back, so I guess you've screwed me over. I'll just leave it to fate. Beep, beep, beep, beep."

Qu Jian put down the phone, paused for a moment, and then dialed his home number.

"Hello? What's wrong? Is our son coming back? I'll go get him."

"Never mind that for now. Tell Dad that this is a big shot. We need to find some connections in the province. I don't have enough connections here, but I'll find someone to help out and buy us a couple of days. Don't be impulsive right now. Talk to Dad properly."

"What's their background? So what if they have a powerful background? Does having a powerful background mean they can be unreasonable? Does having a powerful background mean they can bully people? I don't believe it. I'll go to the provincial capital and make a scene. I don't believe there's nowhere to seek justice. This is a society governed by law."

"Can't you just shut up and do something productive? Who bullied you? Don't you know what kind of person your son is?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that, Mr. Qu? What's wrong with my son? He's so well-behaved and sensible. Let me tell you, he's a million times better than you."

"What's wrong with you? Don't you know how much trouble you've caused all year? If it weren't for me, you would have been in jail long ago. You're so obedient and sensible, how dare you say that? Let me tell you, this time I might be out of jail too. You're just spoiling me, aren't you? Let's see what kind of future your obedient and sensible son will bring you."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Jian, panting heavily, threw his mobile phone onto the passenger seat. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh and lean back in his seat.

……

"Dad, Xiaogang is being bullied. You have to help him."

"Xiao Zhu, what exactly happened?"

"Director Kan, I'm not familiar with this person. Who should I contact?"

"Director Li, they're just kids, it's just them playing around. I don't think it's worth making a big deal out of it, don't you think?"

"No, no, I'm a veteran Party member. How could I possibly get involved in matters of personal relationships and saving face? Besides, I'm retired now, so what face do I have left? I'm just asking, just asking, since it involves my grandson."

"Provincial Governor Wang, what do you think about this..."

Radio waves crisscrossed the dark land of Liaodong, creating a net across the night sky. It was a night that many people found it hard to sleep.

"Fuck him, when I get out tomorrow, I'm not going to let him get away with this. I've never suffered such a loss in my life. You all watch, see how I deal with him. Fuck. You've offended me? Those who have offended me are all washing their asses in jail."
