She believed that as long as she persisted, justice would be on her side.

After all, she was a victim's family member, a mother who would do anything for her son, and a woman who was not afraid of powerful figures.

That's absolutely amazing.

Seeing that no one had gotten out of Lu Feng's car yet, and that a group of young people had surrounded the car like an iron barrel, the other men guessed that these were most likely the secretary's personal guards.

But why are these guards dressed like ordinary young men? They don't even have uniforms. Could they be security guards hired by the Party Secretary himself?

Thinking of this, the group exchanged glances, their courage growing even stronger.

They're just security guards, not real police officers, what's there to be afraid of?

They are the victims' families; they have banners behind them, cell phones in their hands, and a large crowd of onlookers in front of them.

You're the Party Secretary of the city, no matter how important you are, how dare you let security guards beat people in front of so many people?

They exchanged a glance, then suddenly pushed forward with all their might, trying to force a way out and drag Secretary Lu Feng out of the car.

It's kind of exciting to think about.

"Take him down!" The squad leader shouted as soon as he saw the situation.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the plainclothes guards, without hesitation, swiftly subdued the men and pinned them to the ground.

His face was pressed against the cold cement floor, his arms were twisted behind his back, and he couldn't move.

"What are you doing?!"

"The Party Secretary and his bodyguards are beating people!"

"Let me go! I'm going to sue you!"

Several men were pinned to the ground, struggling and shouting at the top of their lungs. Their voices were a mixture of shock, anger, and disbelief.

No way, how come these security guards are so powerful? And how dare they even lay a hand on me?!

Absolutely audacious! Utterly audacious!

Just then, another group of people in camouflage uniforms rushed out of the municipal party committee compound. They quickly weaved between the rioters and the convoy, forming a buffer zone.

The squad leader walked up to He Xiao and said sternly, "Comrade! This is the headquarters area. Please take down the banner immediately and move back beyond the cordon!"

"You are now suspected of disrupting the order of the government office. Please cooperate!"

He Xiao knelt on the ground, shouting, "I want to see Lu Feng! His son killed someone! I demand an explanation from him!"

She knelt on the ground, her face still bearing the expression of a grief-stricken mother, which looked rather intimidating.

Before she could gather more emotion, a group of uniformed police officers rushed out of the municipal party committee compound.

They had a clear division of labor. Several people quickly went around and began to persuade and ask passersby to delete the videos they had just taken.

Several other men stepped forward, took the men who were being held by the guards, and with a few quick snaps, placed silver bracelets on them.

Two more police officers quickly walked up to He Xiao, one on each side, and forcibly lifted her off the ground.

The officer in charge walked over, his face serious, and spoke clearly:

"Comrade, we are the local police officers. Your current behavior has disrupted the normal entry and exit order of the municipal party committee compound and violated the Public Security Administration Punishment Law."

"If you have a grievance, you can express it through legal channels, but not in this way at the entrance of the municipal party committee compound. Now, please come with us to the branch office to cooperate with the investigation."

He paused, then his tone became even sterner: "If you don't cooperate, we will have no choice but to summon you forcibly according to the law."

Even with two police officers holding him down and his arms tightly restrained, He Xiao continued to struggle desperately, shouting:

"You're covering up for him! Lu Feng's son killed someone and you didn't investigate! My son died in vain! I'll wait here today and let everyone see that Lu Feng let his son commit murder, and the police are protecting their own!"

She felt that what she said was particularly insightful and resonated deeply with the audience.

Those people holding up their phones around will definitely film this scene and post it online. When the public pressure comes, let's see what you do!

The officer in charge's face darkened, and he stopped wasting words: "You have already received a warning, but you still refuse to stop disrupting the order of the agency. I am now legally summoning you."

"take away!"

The other men holding banners were also taken into custody by the police and escorted to police cars parked in the courtyard.

The chaotic scene was brought under control in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, Lu Feng's convoy restarted and slowly drove into the municipal party committee compound.

Lu Feng sat in the back row and witnessed the entire process from beginning to end, his face expressionless.

After the car came to a stop, he took out his phone and called Hong Zhan:

"Director Hong, there were some people holding banners and causing trouble at the entrance of the municipal party committee compound just now. You should have received the news."

His tone was calm, devoid of any emotion: "I have only one request: handle it according to normal procedures. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, don't suppress things you shouldn't suppress, and investigate things thoroughly."

On the other end of the phone, Hong Zhan immediately replied, "Understood, Secretary!"

Lu Feng hung up the phone, opened the car door, and got out.

He knew that the best course of action in the face of this sudden political farce on the street was to remain in the car and not respond.

The rest will naturally be investigated and clarified by the relevant departments.

Because when he sits in this car, he represents not Lu Feng himself, but the provincial and municipal party committees.

If he were to personally get out of his car and confront someone holding a banner in the street, it would not only damage his personal prestige but also undermine the authority of the organization.

Therefore, from the very beginning, this matter could only be described as "someone disrupting public order".

All he saw from inside the car was a woman holding a banner and chanting slogans.

He didn't know who this woman was, what the background was of her son's death, whether anyone was behind her, or whether there were people in the crowd who were acting in her place and filming and editing the video.

In this situation where information is completely opaque, once he gets off the bus, every word he says and every action he takes will be exploited, amplified, and misinterpreted.

As long as he doesn't show up, this can only be considered a public order incident.

Often, public opinion doesn't require you to prove your innocence; it only requires you to speak out.

As soon as you open your mouth, public opinion will follow.

Simply put, officials at his level are not required to respond to any controversies in the public sphere in a personal manner.

Does this woman still think this is ancient times, where she can just stop the carriage of a prefect or imperial envoy, shout "Your Excellency, please make the decision!" and force the high-ranking official to accept the case on the spot?

Ancient people's way of thinking.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng shook his head, straightened his crisp executive jacket, and walked towards the office building.
