Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 184 We must beat a dog when it's down! (First update!)

As a veteran police officer, Lu Xian knew how to comfort people, so he spoke softly and gently when he said these things.

But when the words reached Li Yang and the others, they were like a bolt from the blue.

As a journalist, he pursues traffic in order to make money, and he keeps following this matter for the sake of traffic. He also chooses to fuel the flames of this matter for the sake of traffic.

But to everyone's surprise, even with the cards of foreign friends and fire in hand, they still lost.

Turn it into a criminal case!

Detention measures have been taken!

Call your family!

We need to make everything clear!

Isn't this a disaster? Isn't this just blatantly asking to be fired by my company?

If that old bastard station manager finds out he's been detained, he'll definitely announce the employee's dismissal to everyone within two seconds of hearing the news.

By the time I'm released after being detained, it'll be too late!

Thinking of this possibility, Li Yang could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and looked at Li Jiewei, who shared the same surname as him, sitting opposite him:
"Attorney Li, I am willing to apologize. I am willing to apologize in public for 30 consecutive days!"

His shout, like a muffled thunderclap, startled Yang Tiantian awake.

The woman also stood up and called out to Li Jiewei:
"Attorney Li, we are willing to apologize!"

Hearing the two shouting, Lu Xian turned his head and looked at Li Jiewei with a questioning gaze.

Li Jiewei did not respond immediately, but instead turned to look at Liu Yongqiang beside him.

As a member of the legal department, he was only responsible for taking action against people. As for how to handle things and what to say afterward, that was up to the public relations department.

After he looked over, Lu Xian, Li Yang, and the others also looked at Liu Yongqiang.

Liu Yongqiang smiled and smiled at the group of people.

That smile was gentle, giving people a sense of being willing to forgive.

Sensing that smile, Li Yang quickened his pace:
"Boss, if you are willing to forgive me, I can apologize. I will apologize in public, and I can post on various forums to sincerely apologize."

"I only ask that no detention measures be taken."

After he finished speaking, Yang Tiantian also spoke up.

After they finished speaking, Liu Yongqiang glanced at Murata Ichiro for a moment, then turned his gaze back to Lu Xian:

"Director Lu, we refuse mediation!"

"We've given them many chances!"

"On the internet, as long as they don't publish those biased and misleading articles."

“If they were even slightly objective in front of the factory, simply observing and recording without making any biased statements, I wouldn’t bother with them.”

"We've been here for over an hour now, and only now are they saying they're willing to apologize."

"They wasted their own time."

"Therefore, we refuse mediation and only request that the matter be handled according to normal procedures."

"Okay!" Upon hearing the refusal to mediate once again, Lu Xian gave Li Yang and the others a helpless look, took the pen hanging on his left chest, and scribbled words in his notebook.

He then placed the transcript in front of the group: "Gentlemen, please check it. If there are no problems, please sign it."

"Write the name in regular script and include the date."

Li Jiewei took the transcript, checked it from beginning to end, and confirmed that there were no problems or cryptic statements. Only then did he nod to Liu Yongqiang.
"You can sign!"

With a few quick signatures, the two men signed their names, and the record was then presented to Li Yang and the other two.

Li Yang didn't want to sign, so Lu Xian tapped his finger on the table:

"Reporter Li, sign it. If you sign it, that means you've pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. At least I can say you have a good attitude."

"If you don't sign, you're just being stubborn and rude. A bad attitude often leads to problems."

After hesitating for a while, Li Yang finally took the notebook and pen and signed his name and comments on it.

Then there's Yang Tiantian.

After signing their names, the two of them collapsed into their chairs, staring silently at the white light on the ceiling.

Yesterday, before today, even a few hours ago.

They are still journalists that everyone envies.

But from the moment they signed their names, they were doomed.

This record will stay with them forever.

After signing the statement, Lu Xian got up and called two policemen to take Li Yang and Yang Tiantian out of the mediation room. Turning around, he asked Murata Ichiro, who remained behind:
"Mr. Ichiro Murata, we haven't officially entered the interrogation stage yet. Let's have a chat. Let's talk about why you did this."

“I think…” Lu Xian paused, then turned to look at Li Jiewei:
"I think Attorney Li is probably also curious about this, isn't he?"

“Yes!” Lu Xian started the conversation, and Li Jiewei immediately followed suit.

The goal has been achieved. This person is definitely going to jail. As for how long, it depends on whether the person cooperates or not, and whether you are willing to pester them relentlessly.

Given their boss's background, if he were to give the word and relentlessly pursue them, these brothers wouldn't be able to get out for at least four or five years.

After waiting for a while and not hearing Ichiro Murata speak, Li Jiewei decisively closed his notebook:
"Director Lu, we still have some documents to submit. How about we move to another room to talk?"

“Okay!” Lu Xian was just looking for information about the background of the boss of Xiaomi Heavy Industry. With Li Jiewei’s offer, he closed his notebook, put it aside, called a colleague to take over, and then got up and left with Li Jiewei.

As he stood up, Murata Ichiro, who had been feigning death, finally spoke:

"I said!"

Lu Xian stopped in his tracks, not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Li Jiewei.

Li Jiewei gave him a look, and the three of them returned to their seats, all looking at Murata Ichiro with curiosity.

After a brief silence, Murata Ichiro calmly began to speak:

"I am a cartoonist, but my grades are only so-so, and I can't make a living in Japan."

"And so I came to China."

"After coming to China, I have been publishing some comics online."

"We also chat online."

“A couple of days ago, a man named Liu Dawei contacted me and said he wanted to use my Japanese identity to do something.”

When asked what it was, he said he needed my identity to create a publicity stunt.

"He was responsible for providing me with the props, while I was responsible for providing the venue."

"The price is 50."

"I've already received 30. The remaining 20 will be given to me after the deal is done."

At this point, he looked up at Li Jiewei across from him, stared for a moment, and then let out a bitter laugh:
“I’ve encountered this kind of extortion before, and I’ve also seen others talk about it online.”

"Most businesses will choose to settle things quietly, pay a sum of money, and let the matter drop."

"That was what I was thinking too, so I took the order."

"And then, this is what you see."

"But..." Murata Ichiro paused again, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing his ridiculous appearance, Li Jiewei rolled his eyes and said softly:
"We can provide you with a letter of understanding to do our best to help you keep your funds."

These words immediately made Ichiro Murata's eyes light up.

He nodded and immediately added, "Yesterday, the two people I spoke with said that it seems there are other people involved in this public opinion campaign."

“But they don’t know who it is.” As a veteran police officer, Lu Xian immediately grasped the key point: “Who are those two people? And how did they find out that there are other people involved?”

"Say!"

The old policeman's imposing presence was so intimidating that it startled Murata Ichiro, who shrank back and whispered in response:
“When I chatted with them online before, they said they lived in Unit 2, Building 8, Sunshine Garden Community, Chunxi Road, Xujia District, Shanghai.”

"That's their studio address."

Lu Xian quickly wrote down the address, then immediately called over two colleagues. The two colleagues continued chatting with Murata Ichiro, while he and Li Jiewei walked out of the mediation room together.

Finding an empty office to stop, Lu Xian, with a hint of excitement on his face, asked:

"Attorney Li, if you catch the person later, you won't issue a letter of leniency, will you?"

"Hmm?" Li Jiewei hummed in confusion, not understanding why Lu Xian would say that.

The next second, Lu Xian began to explain:

"According to Ichiro Murata, this is an organized and disciplined crime."

"We must crack down hard on this kind of organized and disciplined crime."

"This is a major case!"

"Attorney Li, you understand what I mean, right?"

These two sentences left Li Jiewei somewhat bewildered, but Liu Yongqiang next to him instantly understood. He quickly nodded and then responded in a low voice:

"I see!"

"After this case is closed, we will give you all the banners of appreciation and publicity you deserve!"

Upon receiving these two sentences, Lu Xian was overjoyed and gave a thumbs-up:
"Mr. Liu speaks very frankly."

"I'll arrange for someone to come quickly so we can bring them back tonight."

"Then, on your side, submit the evidence that needs to be submitted as soon as possible."

"I'm going to get busy first."

Watching Lu Xian disappear down the corridor, Li Jiewei waved and turned to leave with Liu Yongqiang.

Standing in front of the police station, the two suddenly realized that the police car that had just come by was a smuggler, while they didn't have a car.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Yongqiang pointed to the door and said, "Let's take a taxi!"

While waiting for a taxi at the door, Li Jiewei turned around and looked at Liu Yongqiang curiously:
"What did Lu Xian mean just now?"

Liu Yongqiang stomped his foot: "It's meaningless. This is probably the first time they've seen a case like this. They just want publicity and a good reputation."

"By publicizing this, the entire police system in Suzhou, and even the police system in Jiangsu Province, will use them as a case study."

"He also finds it easier to move up the ranks."

Upon receiving this explanation, Li Jiewei nodded in agreement.

After all, everyone needs to do business.

Promotions and salary increases are only possible if you have sales performance.

He glanced to the side and, seeing that no taxis had come yet, asked again, "Oh, by the way..."

Why do I feel that you are very hostile towards those reporters?

“People in public relations are very hostile towards reporters,” Liu Yongqiang replied, kicking a paving stone.

Fearing that Li Jiewei might not understand, he simply added:
"Journalists, or rather writers, are the most shameless group of people in the world."

"If a person doesn't like to tell the truth, prefers empty talk and clichés, and likes to deliberately mislead others."

"In our public relations industry, we usually refer to someone as someone who studied journalism."

"Do not laugh."

"I studied journalism."

"Things are better now. A couple of years ago, before the internet took off, things were much better."

"Those who control the media are the ones in China who are most adept at distorting the truth."

"The dead can be described as alive, and the living can be described as dead."

"They always play word games with you at crucial moments, adding a word or two when you're at your most triumphant."

"Then they call it being humble."

"When you can beat these kinds of people to death, you should beat them into a cesspool and drown them completely."

"Don't give him any chance to retaliate."

“If you don’t put him down and draw a conclusion now, then once he gets rid of this matter, in a couple of days or two years, he can just write an article, recall it, and turn the truth upside down.”

"So, after this case is closed, you need to make a copy of all the evidence and videos."

"Including the police!"

“We’ll archive the information. If he dares to act sarcastic or uncooperative in two years, we’ll release it again and kill him.”

Li Jiewei paused for a few seconds, then gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, intellectuals are jealous of each other!"

Just then, a taxi arrived, and the two got in, gave the driver their address, and the driver immediately asked:

"I heard that the factory's appliances caught fire?"

"So someone is up to something."

"I knew it! Someone was definitely behind this!"

"Where are you from, Master?"

"People of Nanjing! Isn't my Nanjing dialect quite good?"

The two remained silent, simply turning their heads to pretend to admire the scenery.

About half an hour later, the two returned to Xiaomi Heavy Industry and told Lin Yi about the whole situation.

Lin Yi did not reprimand Liu Yongqiang for his ruthless actions; instead, he gave him a thumbs up.

"here you go!"

"Let's go take a break and get ready to go home. We'll have dinner tonight!"

Meanwhile, at the Hanshan Temple District Public Security Bureau, once everything was ready, Lu Xian personally led a team, driving a disguised car, and headed towards Shanghai in a grand procession.

Unit 2, Building 8, Sunshine Garden Community, Chunxi Road, Xujia District, Shanghai.

Zhao Dawei took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

The noise of the door opening startled several people sitting in front of their computers in the living room.

They all turned around, looking at Zhao Dawei with joy on their faces:
"Brother Dawei, has that company called Xiaomi Heavy Industry surrendered yet?"

After asking the questions with smiles on their faces, the group finally noticed that Liu Dawei's expression was a bit off, and quickly asked again:

"problem occurs?"

Liu Dawei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied:

"That company spent 150 million yuan to hire three testing agencies to disassemble the refrigerator in front of the reporters. In addition, they also bought back some home appliances from previous customers and disassembled them in front of everyone."

"Look for problems under the cameras."

"They found the resistor, and in the end, all the reporters who had tried to sneak over were taken to the police station."

"I don't think that damn Japanese guy is reliable. We need to pack our things and leave quickly."
