Chapter 100 A Series of Unforeseen Events
The middle-aged detective felt cold sweat dripping down his back; if he could do it all over again, he definitely wouldn't have sided with Fushao, but the pity of it all… there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Feng Yugang cast a calm glance at the middle-aged detective, "Is everything she said true?"
"I... I..." The middle-aged detective stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Qiao Heshui, captain of the Canal District sub-bureau."
"I ask you, as a law enforcement officer who broke the law, how should you be dealt with?"
"Leader Feng, I realize my mistake, please give me a chance to start anew, I beg of you." Qiao Heshui pleaded; he had put a lot of effort into reaching the position of captain, and if he were to be removed from office, all his life's work would have been in vain.
Feng Yugang shook his head slightly, "Some mistakes can be forgiven, and some cannot."
Qiao Heshui's face instantly turned pale; he knew he was finished, completely finished.
"Uncle Qiao, don't be afraid! I will support you!" Fushao spoke up, "So what if he's just a city-level leader? There's nothing impressive about that. I even know some provincial-level leaders."
"Oh? You know some provincial-level leaders?" Feng Yugang looked at Fushao with interest.
"What's the matter, scared?" Fushao smiled triumphantly, "Daring to oppose me, truly unaware of life and death. I'll call a provincial-level leader now and let him take good care of you." While talking, Fushao picked up his mobile phone, dialed a number quickly, and after saying a few words, he handed the phone to Feng Yugang, "Here, take the call."
Feng Yugang certainly wouldn't walk over to take the call, as Fushao didn't have the qualification; in the end, it was his secretary who went over and took the phone for him.
"Hello? Who is this?" Feng Yugang asked as he put the phone to his ear.
"This is Li Chenggong." A robust male voice came from the phone.
"Oh, it's Vice Leader Li." Feng Yugang's manner of speaking became a bit more polite, "What do you need me for?"
"Xiaofu here has caused some trouble, but he's not bad at heart. Please give me some face and don't take him to task." Li Chenggong said amiably, well aware of Feng Yugang's deep family background, considering he came from a distinguished family in the capital city, and had immense potential, which is why he spoke quite respectfully.
If it were any other subordinate, Li Chenggong wouldn't have been so courteous.
Feng Yugang furrowed his brows; after all, Li Chenggong was a provincial-level leader with immense power, and without good reason, Feng Yugang didn't want to offend Li Chenggong.
"Uncle, give me the phone." Feng Yan suddenly rushed out and snatched the phone from Feng Yugang's hand.
"Xiaoyan, stop messing around, give me the phone back right now." Feng Yugang's face darkened as he scolded.
Feng Yan simply ignored Feng Yugang and spoke into the phone herself, "So you're the backer for that scum? I'm telling you plainly, I absolutely will not let that scum off the hook. I will make him pay a painfully extreme price."
"…" The phone fell silent for a moment, then Li Chenggong's voice came through, slightly angry, "Who are you?"
"Listen up, my name is Feng Yan, the young lady of the Feng family from the capital, and Feng Yugang is my uncle," Feng Yan said, "If you don't want to offend me, stay out of this matter. Otherwise… hmph… I'll make sure you regret it…"
Li Chenggong's breathing suddenly grew labored, how could he bear being threatened by a young girl?
Damn it! Feng Yugang cursed under his breath, a simple matter had now been complicated by Feng Yan, and what do people in officialdom care about the most? Of course, it's face. Now that Feng Yan threatened Li Chenggong in front of so many people, to defend his dignity and reputation, Li Chenggong definitely couldn't let this go easily.
"Go and cause trouble!" Feng Yugang rushed over and snatched the phone, "Vice Leader Li, please don't stoop to my niece's level, she's young and doesn't understand..."
"Doesn't understand?" Li Chenggong snorted coldly, "Feng Yugang, don't think that because you have a powerful background, you can disregard me. I am, after all, your superior leader!"
"Vice Leader Li, you've misunderstood, I still respect you..."
"Respect me? Okay, then let Xiaofu go now, and stop holding grudges against him. Also, punish the people who beat Xiaofu severely."
"This..." Feng Yugang was somewhat embarrassed, "This matter is somewhat difficult to handle..."
"Difficult? Fine, I'll report to the senior leader right now and let him talk to you." Having said this, Li Chenggong hung up the phone.
Feng Yugang held his phone, frowning tightly. It was clear that his mood was very bad at the moment.
"Uncle, why do you dawdle so much in your actions?" Feng Yan said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't he just a provincial-level leader, and moreover, a deputy one at that? What's so great about that? If you can't solve it, I'll call my dad to handle it, and if that doesn't work, I'll call Grandpa. Although he's retired, his words still carry weight."
"My dear niece, just calm down a bit," Feng Yugang said with a wry smile, "Your grandfather isn't in good health, let's not disturb him."
"Fine, as long as you arrest that scumbag, I won't call Grandpa," Feng Yan said.
"Are you threatening me?"
"You can think of it that way."
"You..."
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Feng Yugang's phone suddenly vibrated. When he took it out and saw who it was, his face instantly changed. The call was from the senior leader; without even thinking, he knew it was about Li Chenggong. Feng Yugang answered the phone with a stiff upper lip, "Leader... yes, there is such a matter... No no no, there is a misunderstanding, please let me explain slowly...
I understand... This matter is actually quite simple, just some friction between juniors... Yes, I got it, I will handle it..." After Feng Yugang hung up the phone, he said to Feng Yan, "Let's end this issue here and not pursue it any further."
"No way!" Feng Yan shook her head, "This can't be let go just like that!"
"Indeed, it can't be let go just like that," Lu Hao followed up.
"This matter has alarmed the senior leader, and his opinion is to downplay the big issues and dismiss the minor ones," Feng Yugang said, "The senior leader is my direct supervisor, and I must give face to him." Even if he belongs to a major family, he must abide by the rules of officialdom.
"I'm calling Grandpa right now!"
"I'm calling, too!"
Feng Yan and Lu Hao took out their phones simultaneously.
Feng Yugang shook his head, "Even if this matter alarms both the old masters, they will support my approach." Soon after, he received calls from the Feng Family's old master and the Lu Family's old master, to his surprise, both old masters scolded him fiercely and then instructed him to follow Feng Yan's and Lu Hao's wishes, making sure to satisfy both Feng Yan and Lu Hao.
