Just then, Liu Wenhao's phone rang.
"Attorney Zhang?" Liu Wenhao answered the phone.
“Xiao Liu, I just received news that someone is targeting your friend’s family.” Zhang Wei’s voice was very serious. “This already constitutes an abuse of power.”
"I'm on site right now," Liu Wenhao said. "Could you come over for a moment?"
"almost there."
Twenty minutes later, lawyer Zhang Wei arrived at the scene.
"Who is in charge?" Zhang Wei showed his lawyer's license.
"Who are you?" the inspector asked, sounding somewhat nervous.
“I am the lawyer entrusted by the client,” Zhang Wei said. “Please show me your evidence and relevant documents.”
The inspectors exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not expecting a lawyer to appear.
"This is a routine fire inspection," the leader said, forcing a smile.
“A routine inspection?” Zhang Wei sneered. “Then where is your inspection notice? According to regulations, law enforcement inspections must be notified to the parties involved in advance.”
"This..." The inspector couldn't answer.
"Furthermore, do you have detailed records and photos of the so-called safety hazards you discovered?" Zhang Wei continued to press. "Without a complete enforcement procedure, your inspection is illegal."
The inspectors were rendered speechless by the questions. They had indeed been given instructions to cause trouble on short notice and had not followed any proper procedures.
"Alright, that's enough for today." Seeing that things were not going well, the lead inspector hurriedly packed up his things and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Zhang Wei called out to them. "Please leave your names and workplaces. I need to report your illegal law enforcement to your superiors."
The group's expressions changed, and they quickened their pace and left.
"Thank you, Attorney Zhang." Lin Xiaoya's father breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome," Zhang Wei said. "But this matter won't end here. The other party will definitely have other moves."
Sure enough, Zhang Wei's words were soon proven true.
That afternoon, Zhao Mingxuan's father received a call from the tax authorities, saying they wanted to inspect their family's small factory.
Zhang Meng's father also received a notice from the industry and commerce department, saying that someone had reported problems with their family's restaurant.
Chapter 1210 Recording!
"These bastards!" Zhang Meng was so angry he jumped up and down. "They didn't even spare our family members!"
Liu Wenhao's face was terribly gloomy.
Chen Zhong is launching a full-scale war, targeting not only him but also the families of everyone around him.
"Wenhao, we can't take this anymore." Despite his injuries, Li Hao couldn't contain his anger. "We have to teach them a lesson."
"Yes, let's fight them!" Zhang Meng echoed.
"Fight? How can we fight?" Liu Wenhao retorted. "They have public power, what do we have to fight with?"
"So you're just going to endure it like this?"
“Of course, we won’t just endure it.” A cold glint flashed in Liu Wenhao’s eyes. “But we’ll use a smarter method.”
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Uncle Sun, it’s me,” Liu Wenhao said. “I need your help.”
After listening to Liu Wenhao's account, Sun Jianhua's face turned extremely ugly.
“Chen Zhong is playing with fire,” Sun Jianhua said angrily. “He actually used public power to threaten students’ parents. This is not just a simple violation of laws and regulations.”
"Uncle Sun, what do we do now?" Liu Wenhao asked. "If they continue like this, my friends will all be implicated."
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this,” Sun Jianhua said. “Chen Zhong thinks he has connections everywhere, but he’s forgotten that there are higher powers in this world.”
That evening, Sun Jianhua made phone calls to the friends of the first, second, and third commanders.
"Old Li, did you know that there's a scoundrel in the Qingshan City Public Security Bureau?" Sun Jianhua said to the first commander.
"What scum?"
“Vice-Governor Chen Zhong abused his power to threaten students’ parents.” Sun Jianhua recounted the situation in detail. “If this kind of person is not severely punished, our government’s image will be ruined.”
The First Commander was also furious after hearing this.
"I'll have someone investigate this immediately," the First Commander said. "If it's true, they won't let it go easily."
The next morning, things were far from peaceful in Aoyama City.
The municipal inspection department's working group was directly stationed at the public security department to conduct...
News of the inspection team's deployment to the public security department quickly spread throughout Qingshan City. Chen Zhong sat in his office, his face ashen as he watched the staff coming and going outside the window.
"Director Chen, what do we do now?" Secretary Xiao Wang asked anxiously.
"What's the panic?" Chen Zhongqiang tried to remain calm. "It's just a routine inspection. We haven't done anything shameful."
Despite saying that, Chen Zhong knew perfectly well that Sun Jianhua's move was indeed ruthless, directly utilizing his connections in the city.
Just then, the office door was pushed open. Deputy Secretary Wang from the inspection department walked in with several staff members.
"Comrade Chen Zhong, there are some issues that require your cooperation in the investigation," Deputy Secretary Wang said sternly.
"What's the problem?" Chen Zhong stood up.
"Regarding your alleged abuse of power and threats against students' parents," Deputy Secretary Wang said, gesturing for his subordinates to produce recording equipment. "This is the relevant evidence."
The recording played the conversation from last night at the Zijing Pavilion. Although the sound quality wasn't very clear, Chen Zhong's voice was still recognizable.
Chen Zhong's face turned deathly pale instantly. He hadn't expected his private conversation to be recorded.
"Where did this recording come from?" Chen Zhong attempted to question the legality of the evidence.
Chapter 1211: The Spotlight!
“This is not your concern,” Deputy Secretary Wang said. “Now you need to explain why you are retaliating against the students’ parents.”
Chen Zhong opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. The contents of the recording were too clear; there was no room for denial.
Meanwhile, Liu Wenhao was in class, but his mind was elsewhere. He knew today was a crucial day; Chen Zhong's fate depended on this investigation.
"Wenhao, what are you thinking about?" Lin Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, asked softly.
"It's nothing," Liu Wenhao said, coming back to his senses. "I'm just a little worried about the situation at home."
Last night, Lin Xiaoyu's father was temporarily out of trouble, but the other students' parents are still under pressure. Zhao Mingxuan's father was harassed by the tax authorities all day, and Zhang Meng's restaurant was also disrupted by the industrial and commercial department's investigation.
"It should be over soon," Lin Xiaoyu comforted him. "Since Uncle Sun has taken action, he'll definitely be able to handle it."
When school ended in the afternoon, the good news finally arrived.
"Wenhao, Chen Zhong has been suspended!" Li Hao ran excitedly into the classroom, waving his phone. "It's on the news!"
Liu Wenhao took the phone and saw the news report from Qingshan TV: "Chen Zhong, deputy director of the municipal public security department, has been suspended from his duties and is under investigation for suspected serious violations of laws and regulations."
"Great!" Zhang Meng jumped up excitedly. "Now those bastards won't dare to cause trouble for us parents anymore."
But Liu Wenhao's expression was calm, even somewhat worried.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhao Mingxuan noticed his unusual behavior.
“I’m happy,” Liu Wenhao said, “but I’m worried this is just the beginning. Although Chen Zhong has been suspended, his network of connections in the public security system remains. And a deputy mayor won’t give up easily.”
As expected, Liu Wenhao's concerns were soon confirmed.
That evening, several unidentified individuals appeared near Qingshan No. 1 Middle School. They loitered around the school, clearly scouting the area.
“Brother Wenhao, someone is spying on the school.” The next morning, Zhang Meng approached Liu Wenhao with a nervous expression. “I saw several unfamiliar faces loitering around the school gate last night.”
"It seems Chen Zhong is really desperate," Liu Wenhao said thoughtfully. "Since official channels are not working, he will have to resort to other means."
"What should we do? Should we call the police?" Li Hao asked.
"Call the police?" Liu Wenhao smiled wryly. "The public security department is in complete chaos right now. Who knows who Chen Zhong's people are?"
Just then, Xu Hao called.
"Liu Wenhao, I have some bad news." Xu Hao's voice was serious. "Last night, someone was inquiring about your whereabouts, and they offered a very high price."
"who?"
"I don't know, but I heard they're from out of town," Xu Hao said. "They're not the same group that beat up Li Hao before."
Liu Wenhao frowned. It seemed Chen Zhong had gone all out this time, not only using local connections but also bringing in people from other places.
"Any further news?"
"Some people say that the people who came this time are not ordinary thugs," Xu Hao said in a low voice, "but real ruthless characters."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Wenhao fell into deep thought. The situation within the department was clear: Chen Zhong was desperate and preparing to take a desperate gamble.
"Wenhao, shouldn't we lay low for a while?" Lin Xiaoyu asked worriedly. "Why don't you leave Qingshan City for a while?"
Beyond Chapter 1212!
"Run?" Liu Wenhao shook his head. "You can run away, but you can't hide. And what will you do if I run?"
Indeed, if Liu Wenhao leaves, Chen Zhong will definitely vent his anger on others.
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Mingxuan asked.
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Liu Wenhao stood up. "Since they want to play, I'll play along to the end."
That afternoon, Liu Wenhao made a decision: to take the initiative.
“You should all go home and not come to school for the next few days,” Liu Wenhao said to several core members.
"And what about you?" Zhang Meng asked.
“I have things to do,” Liu Wenhao said. “Remember, no matter what happens, don’t act impulsively.”
At 7 p.m., Liu Wenhao arrived alone at People's Square in the city center. This is the most bustling area of Qingshan City, with a large flow of people.
He chose this location for a reason. If the other party really wanted to make a move, they would hesitate in such a public place.
Liu Wenhao sat down by the fountain in the center of the square, pretending to admire the night view. But in reality, his attention was completely focused on his surroundings.
About half an hour later, he noticed several people watching him from a distance. These people were behaving professionally, unlike ordinary thugs.
"They're here," Liu Wenhao thought to himself.
Ten minutes later, one of the men approached. He was a man in his thirties, who looked quite ordinary, but had sharp eyes.
"Liu Wenhao?" The man sat down next to him.
"It's me," Liu Wenhao said calmly. "Who are you?"
"I've been asked to come and talk to you," the man said. "I have a suggestion that I hope you'll consider."
"What advice?"
"Leave Qingshan City." The man's tone was calm, but carried an undeniable threat. "Never come back."
"What if I disagree?" Liu Wenhao countered.
"Then don't blame us for being impolite." The man stood up. "I'll give you three days to think it over. If we still see you in Qingshan City after three days, you'll bear the consequences."
After saying that, the man was about to leave. But Liu Wenhao suddenly spoke up.
"and many more."
The man turned and looked at him.
“I also have a suggestion for you.” Liu Wenhao slowly stood up. “Tell your employer that there are some people he can’t afford to offend.”
The man paused for a moment, then sneered, "Kid, you still don't understand the situation. We're not just ordinary thugs, we're..."
"And what?" a voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned to look, and saw several men in plainclothes walking over. Leading them was Captain Wang from the city's criminal investigation team.
"Captain Wang?" The man's expression changed. "What are you doing here?"
