NOVEL NEXT Chapter 563: Goudan Shows His Power
Zhou Rui was extremely frightened and worried. She couldn't get through to Lin Chuan's phone and didn't know what to do. She could only do her best to stop Zhou Kai and the others.
"Don't be reckless!" Zhou Rui hurriedly stood in front of Zhou Kai and his group.
After speaking to Zhou Kai and his group, Zhou Rui turned to Chen Jianjun and said: "Captain Chen, Feixiang Company is a formally registered company with all legal procedures. If you intend to proceed recklessly, we will sue you according to legal procedures."
Song Hao shouted, "Who are you trying to scare? We suspect that you are engaged in illegal activities with severe gangland characteristics. Not only will the entire sand field be sealed, but everyone here will also be taken back for investigation."
Hearing Song Hao's words, Zhou Kai and the others started to become agitated again.
Zhou Rui turned to Zhou Kai, her eyes commanding compliance: "Zhou Kai, if you care about Feixiang Company, make these workers go back inside and stay calm."
Zhou Kai, overwhelmed by Zhou Rui's authority, and being that she is the general manager, shouted at Li Qiang and the others: "Everyone go back inside for now."
Although the crowd was reluctant, when Zhou Kai gave the order, they all turned and retreated back into the factory.
Seeing everyone retreating, Zhou Rui felt somewhat relieved and turned to Captain Liu and Chen Jianjun, saying: "Captain Chen, Captain Liu, our workers were a bit agitated just now, I'm here having them apologize to you."
Captain Liu of the Armed Police Force was not like Chen Jianjun and Song Hao who were bent on crushing Lin Chuan, he smiled and said, "We are just acting according to law, we also hope you cooperate with our work."
A smile appeared on Zhou Rui's face, "Captain Liu, you are too polite. Since you've come all this way, you must have a cup of tea; if the leaders would not mind, please come to my office and sit for a while."
Seeing that the situation was about to ease, Song Hao became anxious and said to Captain Liu, "Captain Liu, quickly arrest them."
Captain Liu frowned and coldly replied to Song Hao, "Even though we are law enforcers, we cannot act like gangsters, arresting people whenever we like."
The words of Captain Liu immediately warmed the hearts of Zhou Rui, Zhou Kai, and the others. It seems there are still good people.
Song Hao, made speechless by Captain Liu's words, stopped talking and just glared at Captain Liu.
To prevent the situation from worsening, Captain Liu decided to follow Zhou Rui to the office to discuss and negotiate a resolution.
Though Song Hao and Chen Jianjun were displeased, they dared not openly object and followed as well.
Upon entering the office, Zhou Rui warmly welcomed Captain Liu and the others to have a seat, and then had tea served.
Song Hao and Chen Jianjun sat on a sofa with gloomy faces, Captain Liu sat beside them. Zhou Rui sat opposite them, with Zhou Kai standing beside her.
"Captain Liu, what do you think is the best way to resolve today's issues?" Zhou Rui broke the silence first.
Captain Liu chuckled and said, "Well, we are just here to assist Captain Chen and his team, you should ask them for the specific resolutions."
Zhou Rui frowned slightly and gave Zhou Kai a meaningful look.
With years of experience, Zhou Kai had grown past his naivety and knew what Zhou Rui meant. He quickly took out cigarettes from his pocket, approached, and despite his intense dislike for Chen Jianjun and Song Hao, he smiled broadly, offering a cigarette to Captain Liu, then walked over to Chen Jianjun and Officer Song, "Captain Chen, Officer Song, please have a cigarette."
Chen Jianjun and Song Hao wore dark expressions, silent, not accepting the cigarette from Zhou Kai.
"Captain Chen, Officer Song, I've offended you before, and I apologize here," Zhou Kai spoke softly.
Song Hao glared at Zhou Kai, "Don't use that trick, we have firmly decided to detain the suspects and seal the sand field today."
Zhou Kai's face was filled with anger.
Seeing Zhou Kai's upset expression, Zhou Rui quickly stood up and intervened, "Officer Song, that is not right. We are law-abiding citizens willing to cooperate with your work, but you can't just arrest people and seal the sand field without any proof."
Song Hao said, "We definitely have evidence, otherwise we wouldn't be doing this."
Zhou Rui smiled slightly, "Very well, as long as Officer Song presents the evidence, we are willing to cooperate."
Song Hao looked at Chen Jianjun.
Chen Jianjun cleared his throat and said, "The sealing of the sand field and arrests are directives from higher-ups, we are simply following these directives, General Manager Zhou, you must also consider our difficulties."
Before Zhou Rui could speak, Zhou Kai quickly said, "I am the primary person responsible for the sand field; if you must arrest someone, arrest me, I'll take responsibility alone."
Captain Liu then spoke, "General Manager Zhou, how about this, we temporarily seal the sand field, and we take away the main responsible persons for now. If you haven't done anything illegal, we believe justice will be served."
Seeing the resolve of Song Hao and Chen Jianjun to achieve their goals, Zhou Rui, after considering it carefully, agreed to Captain Liu's suggestion.
Upon leaving the office, Li Qiang and the others heard about the situation from Zhou Kai and burst out.
