Chapter 1231: Thorough Investigation
At the scene of the party.
The police hadn't arrived yet.
The guests had withdrawn outside the villa, and the party had not officially begun. Several leaders from the province hadn't arrived yet, and leaving now would seem impolite.
Someone behaved indecently, committing assault and battery.
Everyone was talking about the events of the evening. For such a thing to happen at a high-end club gathering was incredible to everyone—unbelievable, discontenting, shocking, enraging...
The circle wasn't big to begin with, so it didn't take long to find out that the troublemakers tonight were a father and son duo. The father, known in business circles, was Wang Xiaoqiang, the head of Little Farmer Company's subsidiary. The son, a student, was named Wang Xiaobao.
No one knew the full story or the truth of the situation. Seeing the father and son injuring people and being so ruthless, everyone found it unbelievable and responded with disdain.
Many people hadn't considered Wang Xiaoqiang's enterprises abroad, and even if they had, they wouldn't care much.
After all, foreign matters are abroad, having little to do with most people here. There isn't much interest or relevance to them.
Moreover, no matter how substantial Wang Xiaoqiang's resources are abroad, they have no relation here. The key is, people were unaware of Wang Xiaoqiang's private power, especially his significant global influence, so they didn't take this father and son seriously.
Especially since Wu Yi added fuel to the fire, slandering Wang Xiaoqiang and his son as scum.
Tianwu Group is a considerable domestic company with many employees, continuously using products from "Little Farmer." The newly developed supermarket industry also sells Little Farmer's products.
Having suffered great losses today and lost face, Wu Yi's retaliation was to loudly declare outside the villa, "From now on, our Tianwu Group will never use Little Farmer Company's products or conduct any business with them."
"Humph, this Little Farmer Company's boss isn't reliable. I was planning a big project in River City, but now, I think we'll forget it," Murakami Iida said, looking indignant. Tonight's events displeased him, and Little Bao's involvement meant he lost the chance with little Lucy.
Wu Yi is the only son of the Wu Family, the future heir of the Tianwu Group. Although his words can't be counted on completely, saying it like this does set about seventy percent of the decision,
Clearly, Wu Yi's decision is not advantageous for Little Farmer Company and will bring significant losses to his business.
Of course, more than this, people are concerned about Murakami Iida's decision. Murakami Iida is a major investor who came from Japan to River City to invest, with large projects directly impacting the city's external economic development. Many are highly focused on this, and several provincial leaders are prepared to visit the party to establish friendly relations with Murakami Iida.
"Oh dear, Wang Xiaoqiang is in trouble now. Just think, if his actions caused the Murakami Corporation's investment projects in River City to fall through, plus the assault incident, the authorities will undoubtedly take the opportunity to suppress him. He's in big trouble!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
Just as the discussions continued, the police cars arrived.
Following them were two cars with the provincial government license plates, driving in at a steady pace.
Seeing the arrival of the police and the leaders from the provincial government, Wu Yi and Murakami Iida seemed invigorated, suddenly becoming excited.
Murakami Iida's gaze focused on the banquet hall, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang and his son still talking and laughing inside. He sneered sinisterly, "Humph, still in the mood to laugh? Your smiles will end soon. You'll be crying in no time."
Comparatively, Wu Yi was more direct. He approached the police car, pointed accusingly as the police got out, and said, "Hey, moving so slow? The thug and the criminal are both in the hall. Hurry, hurry and arrest them."
Ordinarily, someone like Wu Yi, with some power in River City, would be given some face by the police. However, this time, the lead officer coldly glared at Wu Yi and said, "Police are investigating, not allowing you to point fingers. Get aside!"
Wu Yi paused upon hearing this, feeling a bit dejected, and after a long pause, he bit his teeth and said, "I say, really? I'm identifying the criminal, and as a people's police officer, how could you have this attitude..."
"Don't speak to me like that again, or I'll have you detained," the officer pointed at Wu Yi, warning him.
The eyes of the crowd turned towards them, feeling that the officer's attitude was somewhat inappropriate, thinking he shouldn't be yelling at Wu Yi but going into the hall to arrest Wang Xiaoqiang and his son.
"Hey, I won't talk to you, I'll find your superiors! Just wait, believe it or not, I'll have you stripped of that uniform."
Wu Yi pointed at the officer with a warning glare, then approached the provincial leader's car. When he saw a few people getting out, all provincial leaders, the highest official among them was Deputy Governor Xu Kunpeng.
Wu Yi recognized Xu Kunpeng and knew he was the highest-ranking official here, so he approached him, slightly more respectful, and said, "Deputy Governor Xu, you've arrived just in time. An indecent and violent incident just occurred here, with the thugs still inside the hall. But these officers aren't moving in to arrest. What do you think..."
"The police are here to catch the bad guys. Until the truth of the matter is understood, they won't arrest anyone recklessly." Xu Kunpeng glanced coldly at Wu Yi, then added, "By the way, I hear you're involved. As someone involved, you need to stay on-site and await investigation…"
Wu Yi's heart skipped a beat, now realizing things weren't as simple as he thought, with an air of strangeness everywhere.
At this moment, a few policemen jogged over, seeking Xu Kunpeng's instructions. Xu Kunpeng waved his hand and said, "Investigate, thoroughly investigate. Don't overlook any detail, and don't let anyone off…"
"Yes!" The police responded, immediately starting their actions, with some surveying the scene, others questioning the involved parties, and some retrieving the surveillance footage from the party scene.
After Xu Kunpeng finished speaking, he glanced over the guests, his gaze lingered on Murakami Iida momentarily, then he didn't walk towards him but towards the party hall instead.
The other leaders hurriedly followed.
As Xu Kunpeng entered the hall, Wang Xiaoqiang stood up with Little Bao, feeling a hint of awkwardness and anxiety,
It wasn't because Xu Kunpeng's authority intimidated him. To be honest, at his current cultivation base, ordinary people in front of him were like ants,
No matter how high an official or how powerful, crushing them is as easy as crushing an ant. (To be continued.
