Chapter 2496: Chapter 2560: District Chief Yue Steps In
"Someone, get me a car. Contact the City Public Security Bureau, I want them to dispatch officers immediately!" District Chief Yue shouted loudly. Even without a secretary, there were still others, and upon hearing this, someone quickly stepped out, seeing that District Chief Yue looked very grim, so they dared not ask more and followed his instructions.
A few minutes later, District Chief Yue got into the car, and the vehicle sped away, heading towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, in the room, Li Yifei looked at Su Meng and the others. Wang Gang was filled with fear towards him. Although Su Meng had already called District Chief Yue, he wasn’t optimistic. It was just... better than facing this fierce threat himself.
As for Yue Liang, he was even more confused about why he was captured. Once they brought him in, he was locked up without even seeing Li Yifei. With Su Meng beside him now, Yue Liang felt a bit more confident. He glared at Li Yifei, threatening, "You’re finished. When my dad gets here, I’ll make you..."
"Young Master Yue, don’t argue with them now. District Chief Yue will be here soon with people, let’s see what they can do against these thugs!" Su Meng protected Yue Liang, ignoring the others. Wang Gang wanted to curse but knew well that these insane cops dared to hit him before, and they wouldn’t hesitate to do it again now. So, once he gained some freedom, he just tried to stay aside and avoid confrontation.
Yue Liang still spewed profanities, believing that nothing in the world his father couldn’t solve, and this bunch surely would be in trouble, so he didn’t need to endure.
Li Yifei chuckled lightly, pointing at Su Meng, and said indifferently, "You better shut up. Speak only when Yue Buqun arrives, otherwise, I can’t guarantee you won’t get hit!"
"You dare!" Su Meng immediately retorted upon hearing this, "Forget it, there’s no point arguing with you lunatics. We’ll see what you have to say when District Chief Yue arrives."
"Oh really?" Li Yifei shook his head, turned around, and walked out. Zhao Tiezhu and a few SWAT officers stood there with arms crossed; without jumping out the window, those inside couldn’t break through.
Li Yifei wasn’t without follow-up plans. Once outside, he prepared to close the net. When Yue Buqun arrived, today’s matter would be temporarily resolved. As for the subsequent investigation, verification, handling, etc., Li Yifei didn’t have the time to personally engage.
Taking out his phone, Li Yifei dialed a number. After a few rings, the call was answered, and a polite voice from the other end asked, "Hello, this is the Provincial Governor’s office. How may I assist you?"
"Hello, this is Li Yifei. May I ask if the Provincial Governor is available? I have something to report." Li Yifei said.
Li Yifei? The person paused, then quickly recalled and replied, "Are you... Li Yifei of the Li family?"
"Yes, I am." Li Yifei said.
"Hello Mr. Li, the Governor just finished a meeting. I’ll inform him inside, please hold on."
"Alright, thank you." Li Yifei said.
After several dozen seconds, a rich voice came through the phone, "Is this Li Yifei?"
"Governor, hello, it’s me, Li Yifei." Li Yifei said confidently. In fact, it was unnecessary to be overly humble; Li Yifei was already removed from mundane affairs, and they were not of the same world. On the contrary, the other party had to consider Li Yifei’s status. All things considered, both of them stood on a relatively equal footing now.
Li Yifei did not engage in much small talk. Over the past couple of years, he’s maintained a good distance from local government officials, not intentionally trying to associate with any officials as he did a few years ago, whether in Mile City, the provincial capital, or the capital city. After explaining the situation, the other party remained silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, keep those people controlled for now, I’ll arrange investigation."
"Okay, thank you."
"If you can, visit the provincial capital and let me know. I attended a conference in the capital city the other day and visited Elder Su, the old gentleman is in good spirits!" the other said.
There’s this connection? Li Yifei was taken aback but quickly realized it was very likely since Elder Su had numerous proteges and former subordinates. Although he seldom interacted with them, it was impossible not to have contact over the years, so he smiled and said, "Sure, next time I go to the provincial capital, I will surely visit you."
"Alright, I’ll arrange the personnel now, and pay attention to the impact on your side."
"Sure." Li Yifei nodded.
Several police officers nearby heard Li Yifei’s call and naturally heard the title he used. After he hung up, they incredulously asked, "Boss Golden Eagle, did you just... call the Governor?"
"Yes." Li Yifei, not hiding it, indicated it was open for discussion.
"Really?" The officers raised their voices, seeing Li Yifei nod, they gave him thumbs up, with one officer praising, "To reach such a level in life, truly incredible. Boss Golden Eagle, I learned something extraordinary today."
"I’m impressed too. The Governor... is a ministerial-level official, yet you talked to him like that... What’s it called again, standing on equal grounds, I can’t even imagine how impressive you are."
Li Yifei chuckled lightly, "It’s not as mystical as you think, no need to explain further. Okay, do you have confidence now?"
"Absolutely, loads of it. Boss Golden Eagle, you brought the Governor, if we weren’t confident..."
"Stop talking nonsense. We’ve always had confidence, never doubted Boss Golden Eagle!" Before he could finish, another police officer shushed him emphatically.
Li Yifei shook his head and went back inside, while those officers spread the news, causing twenty or so policemen to be in a buzz. None of them expected Li Yifei, with just one move, to directly summon a figure like the provincial leader whom they viewed as highest ranking. Though the Governor wouldn’t come personally, he was clearly informed and had sent people to handle the situation.
Li Yifei sat in a chair, looking out the window with a somewhat absent expression. He wasn’t thinking of anything, just entirely in a daze, naturally not taking District Chief Yue seriously. As his thoughts returned, Li Yifei sighed inwardly; he was somewhat helpless. Haven’t he faced such situations enough over the past few years? In general encounters, Li Yifei would handle them from start to finish, but all this was merely a microcosm. He had the capability, so when faced with oppression or injustice, he could respond with more forceful means without being bullied. But what about ordinary people? Ordinary people didn’t have this ability; they’re generally powerless against these matters. It could even be said they could only be bullied.
However... society itself is unfair. Men, women, if they don’t strive, they can only live at the society’s bottom... Forget it, damn it, I’m just someone with a bit of ability. I can’t manage much. Moreover, if I can solve the Noah’s Ark issue well, it’s already quite rare.
As he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, Li Yifei retracted his gaze just as Zhao Tiezhu approached quickly. Li Yifei raised his head.
"Boss Golden Eagle, District Chief Yue is here, he... brought quite a few people." Zhao Tiezhu said somewhat worriedly.
"Your colleagues?" Li Yifei asked.
"Yes... and several other squads have arrived, it seems they’ve begun setting up a perimeter." Zhao Tiezhu said, glancing out the window, Li Yifei looked too, saying, "They’ve already positioned snipers."
"Snipers? I’ll go draw the curtains." Zhao Tiezhu’s mind raced at the thought; the opponents occupying vantage points to set up snipers wasn’t a good sign, especially since those were snipers...
Li Yifei stood up, "They won’t open fire without orders, plus, you’re technically colleagues. Snipers won’t fire indiscriminately. Besides, since Yue Buqun is here, I must meet him."
"You’re going straight out? Isn’t it dangerous? They’ve brought a lot of guns, going out may mean..." Zhao Tiezhu worriedly said.
"Don’t worry, guns aren’t fired just like that." Li Yifei said, standing up to leave.
"I’ll go out with you!" Zhao Tiezhu immediately said, "They are my colleagues, seeing me there should hold them back from firing on Yue Buqun’s direct orders."
Li Yifei glanced at him, patting Zhao Tiezhu’s shoulder, "Alright, then let’s go out and see."
"Good!" Zhao Tiezhu nodded firmly.
Others also wanted to accompany Li Yifei. Some doubted Li Yifei, but also felt there was no need, given District Chief Yue was personally here. Real or not, they’d soon find out. It wasn’t about suspecting Li Yifei’s identity being fake; many police officers had investigated and found that this Li Yifei matched the one in the news, eliminating any doubts.
Li Yifei glanced at the group, "It’s the same here, District Chief Yue will be coming upstairs with me. It’s the same if you wait here too. Moreover, if we can avoid clashes, then don’t, I’ll leave after handling this matter, but you all still have to work here!"
The group thought it over, agreeing with Li Yifei’s advice, so nodded, leaving Zhao Tiezhu to accompany Li Yifei downstairs.
Outside, District Chief Yue’s face was extremely unpleasant, losing his usual gentleness and elegance, even cursing loudly along the way. Even if he thought hard, District Chief Yue couldn’t have imagined things would end up like this. His son got in a car accident, and regardless of the fault on their side... How on earth did it become a kidnapping?
Moreover, to this moment, information known by District Chief Yue indicated those police and SWAT teams favored the other party, because Yue Liang was taken by them, and Wang Gang... thinking of Wang Gang, District Chief Yue was infuriated, damn it, you Sub-bureau Chief, unable to command your subordinates. Based on District Chief Yue’s understanding, those SWAT officers were brought by Wang Gang, yet they betrayed him at the hospital...
Damn it, is this still GD’s domain? Is this still a law-based society? Is this still... District Chief Yue nearly questioned everything. The other party kidnapped Yue Liang, Wang Gang, along with his secretary and maybe several of his son’s friends. If this got out, it would undoubtedly be a massive scandal, but this time District Chief Yue couldn’t choose to suppress it.
