Sun Jianping heard his superior’s question, clenched his teeth, and recounted the entire process to his boss.
"Outrageous, utterly outrageous! Convicting soone based on a recording alone? Is this how you handle cases? You are suspended, go ho and reflect on your actions imdiately. I will arrange for soone to take over your duties," Young Master Li’s grandfather fud after hearing the details.
Sun Jianping had anticipated his boss’s fury, but the suspension still caught him completely off guard.
"Which entertainnt company does the perpetrator belong to?" asked Young Master Li’s father, a middle-aged man who had indulged excessively and completely lost his shape.
It actually made sense; his wife had beco so bloated. He was still the head of the cultural departnt, surrounded by stars every day—it would be strange if he didn’t cheat.
Sun Jianping clenched his teeth and said, "I don’t know."
Young Master Li’s father’s eyes went cold as he said, "Very well! You may not know, but I will find out myself."
"Mom, let’s hurry up and get Xing’er out. Xing’er has never suffered like this since she was born," Young Master Li’s mother pleaded with her father.
Young Master Li’s grandfather snorted coldly and ordered, "Don’t just stand there; get Li Xing out now."
Sun Jianping hardened his heart and said, "I’m sorry, Director Wu, but I can’t release this person!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xing’s grandfather’s eyebrows shot up as he declared, "You dare to defy my order! You don’t need to co to work tomorrow; I will explain your situation to the city bureau."
He was joking; after all, he was the Deputy Director of the City Bureau, the third in command of the Public Security System. A re station chief from a small jurisdiction dared to defy him—he really must not want to live.
Sun Jianping took out the phone number Chu Feng had given him and said, "Director Wu, I think it would be best for you to make this call before you dismiss . Soone will explain everything to you after you make the call,"
Director Wu glanced at Xiao Sun and said, "Oh, so you’ve found a new backer? Is it Old Feng or Old Zhao? Do you think they would turn against over a re station chief like you?"
At this point, Sun Jianping was furiously indignant, finding the treatnt utterly intolerable. Nevertheless, he respectfully said, "Director Wu, I think it’s best for you to make a call."
Li Xing’s mother snatched the piece of paper and without a word tore it in half, throwing it into the trash can as she said, "You think finding a new backer can help you in any way? Let tell you, you’re not even qualified to arrest my son!"
Sun Jianping looked up, sneered at Mrs. Li, and said, "Indeed, I’m not qualified to arrest your son, but the phone number you just tore up might have severed more than your son’s destiny—Director Wu may also be implicated due to your recklessness and impulsiveness."
"You dare threaten , believe it or not, I can make sure you have no place in East River City!" Mrs. Li, like a shrew, threatened Sun Jianping.
Seeing how composed and calm Sun Jianping was, Director Wu began to feel puzzled.
If this had been Old Zhao or Old Feng, Sun Jianping definitely would not have been so calm and composed.
"Xiao Sun, whose number was that?" Director Wu asked, softening his tone a bit.
Sun Jianping said, "Director Wu, I dare not say, because if I do, it’s not just in East River City, but perhaps even in Huaxia I would have no place."
"Ha, that’s laughable! You think I’m a three-year-old? Using such an excuse to scare , let tell you, I’m not afraid!" Mrs. Li blustered scornfully.
Director Wu looked at Sun Jianping with a face full of certainty and frowned, before finally saying, "Xiao Sun, give that number again."
Sun Jianping said, "I’m sorry, Director Wu, the number was torn up, and I didn’t morize it."
Hearing Sun Jianping’s words, Director Wu couldn’t help but burst into anger, saying, "Sun Jianping, I am ordering you now to dig that number out from the trash can!"
At this point, Sun Jianping had truly resolved himself and proudly said, "Sorry, I am no longer your subordinate, nor a policeman. I don’t have to follow your commands!"
Director Wu turned pale with anger and said, "Fine! Fine! Fine! You, Sun Jianping, have really learned how to disobey . You’ve truly grown in capability! Today, I really want to see who’s backing you!"
"Xiao Min, dig out that phone number!"
"Dad!" Li Xing’s mother said, frowning at the sight of the trash can filled with waste.
Director Wu angrily commanded, "Pick it up now!"
Li Xing’s mother had no choice but to bend her bucket-shaped waist and squat to rummage through the trash can.
Ninja disgustingly pieced together the note that had been thrown out.
"You call!" Director Wu glanced at the note and could not help but frown, ordering his daughter.
Sun Jianping watched Li Xing’s mother getting ready to make a call, coldly smirked, and said, "Director Wu, if I were you, I would call myself. Because if she makes the call, I’m afraid she’ll join her son permanently!"
Director Wu hesitated for a mont but ended up dialing the phone himself.
"I am Wu Jingmin, who is this?" The call connected quickly, and Wu Jingmin proudly stated his na.
"Wu Jingmin, Deputy Director of East River City Public Security Bureau, in August 1999, you accepted five hundred thousand from a family and released a death row inmate..."
The person on the other end began with a sentence that made Wu Jingmin break into a cold sweat.
As the voice continued, Wu Jingmin’s face completely lost its color.
By the ti the last sentence was heard, Wu Jingmin’s phone dropped from his hand, his eyes darkened, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
Li Xing’s parents saw Wu Jingmin fall and were shocked senseless, scrambling to find dicine and pinch his acupuncture points.
Sun Jianping just observed coldly from the side, knowing very well who was on the phone. He understood the extent of the power on the other end of the call.
After a while of frantic efforts, Wu Jingmin slowly ca to.
"Dad!"
Li Xing’s mother, Wu Min, seeing her father awaken, quickly called out.
"Smack!"
Once Wu Jingmin ca around, he did not say a word before slapping Wu Min across the face.
"Dad, I..." Wu Min was stunned by the sudden slap.
"It’s all because of the son you raised!" Wu Jingmin said furiously.
Li Xing’s father, seeing this, quietly asked, "Dad, that side..."
At the ntion of it, Wu Jingmin’s face turned pale again, and he imdiately gave Li Xing’s father a slap as well, saying, "How have I taught you to take care of the child, and this is how you supervise him! This ti, no one can save him!"
Upon hearing Wu Jingmin’s words, both of Li Xing’s parents turned pale, especially Li Xing’s mother, who burst into loud tears, pleading, "Dad! He’s my only son, your only grandson, you can’t not save him!"
"Shut up!" Wu Jingmin, seeing his daughter’s incompetence, was infuriated.
To think of saving that brat; he didn’t even know who could save him now. The power on the other end of the phone was enough to make him disappear from Earth by tomorrow.
Upon lifting his head and seeing Sun Jianping, who had not yet left, he imdiately put on a different face and warmly said, "That Xiao Sun, I was too agitated just now. I was unaware of the situation, but now I understand. You did the right thing! Do what must be done without regard for anyone’s face!"
