Zhao Pengfei saw that his father was furious again and dared not ask any further. He began to ponder: calling the Provincial Political and Legal Committee Secretary personally; the Provincial Political and Legal Committee Secretary was already a member of the provincial standing committee, and the one who could "personally" call him was Secretary Chen. Could it be...
There seemed to be only one answer: Shanhai Provincial Party Secretary Chen Weizhou.
Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Zhao Pengfei's forehead, and his legs began to tremble. If it really was Secretary Chen's instructions, then for someone like Zhao Kuan, a mere District Committee Secretary, not only would he fail to protect his son, but he might also lose his own position.
Zhao Pengfei's situation could be serious or trivial. On one hand, it was just him being rude to a stranger girl, with friends stepping in to help him out, resulting in a fight; he could argue that he bore no legal responsibility. On the other hand, it could escalate to attempted molestation or hiring someone to intentionally injure another person, which could lead to criminal charges.
"Is the Heavenly Mechanism Group really that powerful? A small employee gets into trouble, and the provincial secretary personally intervenes?" After some thought, Zhao Pengfei cautiously asked.
"Heavenly Mechanism Group? What does that have to do with them?" This time Zhao Kuan seemed surprised. "Aren't you the one who harassed a young girl and beat up a brave young man?"
"That brave young man is an employee of the Heavenly Mechanism Group; Chang Qingxi told me," Zhao Pengfei explained.
"Impossible! No matter how domineering the Heavenly Mechanism Group is, they wouldn't directly approach the provincial secretary for just a small employee..." Zhao Kuan thought for a moment but still picked up the phone and dialed Li Dami's mobile number.
"Old classmate, sorry to bother you again. Is it convenient to talk? Oh, I’ll keep it brief. Was today’s incident related to Secretary Chen from the Heavenly Mechanism Group?"
"I say old classmate, don’t you get it yet? Let me put it this way: the girl your son offended is Secretary Chen's goddaughter!" After saying this, Li Dami hurriedly hung up.
Zhao Kuan's legs also began to tremble.
However, being experienced, after a brief moment of panic, Zhao Kuan said, "To calm things down now, the most important thing is to find that girl and see if an apology will work."
"That Zhang Yang from the Heavenly Mechanism Group seems to be that girl's boyfriend," Zhao Pengfei suddenly said.
"Don't interrupt!" Zhao Kuan snapped. "You go turn yourself in first. Remember, your people should say they are just ordinary friends who happened to meet; as for that girl, just say you were trying to flirt since you didn't actually lay hands on her."
"Turn myself in?" Zhao Pengfei replied. "I just came back from the criminal police team."
"Then go back again. I'll handle things at the City Bureau," Zhao Kuan waved his hand impatiently. Zhao Pengfei had no choice but to comply and left obediently. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he called Chang Qingxi.
Zhao Pengfei returned to the criminal police team and spent a night in the detention room. Wang Zhanfei immediately reported the progress to Police Chief He Chong, stating that it was too late to summon the involved party, Chu Ruoxi, and suggested postponing the interrogation until the next day. He Chong agreed and also reported to the Provincial Department.
The next morning, as Zhang Yang walked out of the dormitory building, he saw Chu Ruoxi standing in front of the building. Chu Ruoxi had changed into a white dress, looking graceful, which made Zhang Yang somewhat mesmerized.
"Are you okay?" Chu Ruoxi asked.
"I'm fine; I came back last night," Zhang Yang replied with a smile.
"Um... I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Chu Ruoxi said somewhat shyly.
"It's a small matter. Just don't misunderstand me," Zhang Yang said.
Chu Ruoxi blushed and was about to speak when suddenly a black sedan drove up and stopped in front of the dormitory building. To their surprise, Chang Qingxi and the officer known as Big-Eyed Tao, Qu Tao, got out of the car.
Zhang Yang had a good impression of Qu Tao, so he smiled at him.
"Investigator Zhang, Zhao, uh, Zhao Pengfei has been brought back. We would like to ask you to assist in the investigation. And this young lady is the involved party from that night, right? Can she come along?" Chang Qingxi said with a beaming smile.
"Investigator?" Chu Ruoxi was taken aback. However, Zhang Yang responded to Chang Qingxi, "You are suspected of coercing a confession; how can you still be so arrogant?"
"This..." Chang Qingxi was momentarily speechless. Qu Tao stepped forward and said, "Young brother, let's be lenient where we can. It's not easy for anyone; Wu Peng's leg is broken. Just let it go this time."
"Fine, I'll give Qu Tao face this time. I'll remember this matter for now; if anything else comes up, I will submit the video directly to the Provincial Department's Disciplinary Committee. I can go with you, but as for this young lady, she's quite busy. My word doesn't count," Zhang Yang said.
"Huh?" Chang Qingxi felt elated; he hadn't expected Big-Eyed Tao's words would help him settle this matter. Overjoyed, he immediately nodded and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yang.
"Classmate, it won't take much time; we mainly need to verify the suspect's statement and see if it's disrespectful towards you," Qu Tao said to Chu Ruoxi.
"Alright, I'll go with Investigator Zhang," Chu Ruoxi said while glancing at Zhang Yang.
After getting in the car, Qu Tao drove while Chang Qingxi sat in the passenger seat. Zhang Yang and Chu Ruoxi took the back seat. "When did you become an investigator?" Chu Ruoxi whispered in Zhang Yang's ear, a refreshing sweet scent wafting into his nostrils, making Zhang Yang feel almost intoxicated.
"I’m working part-time at an investigation company," Zhang Yang replied. "I'm broke and need to earn some extra cash."
"Part-time at a company? Are you kidding? A part-time employee at a company, and they treat you so nicely?" Chu Ruoxi suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "It’s not the Heavenly Mechanism Group, is it?"
"Damn, you actually know?" Zhang Yang accidentally let out a curse. Chu Ruoxi frowned slightly but then a smug look appeared on her face as she softly said, "I've heard of it."
Zhang Yang thought for a moment; both Chu Ruoxi and Chen Xiangyu were from Capital Yanjing, so it wasn’t surprising that they had heard of it. He then asked, "Now that you're in the criminal police team, what are you planning to do?"
"What do you think?" Chu Ruoxi surprisingly turned the question back to Zhang Yang.
At this moment, their information was completely unequal. Zhang Yang believed that the situation had developed this way due to the influence of the Heavenly Mechanism Group. In contrast, Chu Ruoxi naturally thought it was the result of her asking Uncle Chen for help. She had approached Uncle Chen just to ensure that Zhang Yang wouldn’t be wronged since he had saved her; now that Zhang Yang was fine, she was no longer concerned about how to deal with Zhao Pengfei.
"What do I think?" Zhang Yang was taken aback. He thought to himself that he had just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Group and hadn’t contributed much yet but had already caused trouble for Shen Zhiyu. He figured it would be better to downplay the situation, so he continued, "I think we should just let it go and give him a little lesson."
"Mm." Chu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes sparkled as she lightly agreed.
