Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chief Zhou Yinjiu introduced the lawyer Zhang beside him, "Governor Yuan, Director Wang, this is Mr. Zhang Guangda, the lawyer of our Bai's Real Estate."

The reason why Zhou Yinjiu brought a lawyer with him was because he was afraid that the other party would set a trap for him. On the contrary, if there was a lawyer who understood the law here, the effect would be completely different.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang." Yuan Weimin nodded to the other party.

"Hello, Governor Yuan." Lawyer Zhang responded politely.

After the four of them sat down, Yuan Weimin got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Zhou, Lawyer Zhang, I'm sure you've heard about Li Sanmao. The public security authorities identified Li Sanmao as the murderer who hit Comrade Xia Yu with his car, and he was later found hiding by the public security authorities. He was shot dead because he resisted arrest. We heard that Li Sanmao used to work for your company, so I wonder if you can provide us with some information about this person, such as what hobbies he usually has, what kind of people he likes to be with, and who his friends are?"

Yuan Weimin thought that Li Sanmao's affairs had an unclear relationship with Bai's Real Estate, so he was not polite when he spoke and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Haha, Governor Yuan, we are businessmen, taxpayers, and of course citizens. We have the right to cooperate with the government and public security organs to do whatever we should do and fulfill our obligations. But forgive me for being frank. Although Li Sanmao is a member of our company, he was not sold to our company. He is an adult and has the right to distinguish right from wrong and do anything. Now that he is in trouble, you come to trouble our company. This seems inappropriate."

After knowing Yuan Weimin's purpose, Zhou Yinjiu became a little unhappy. What's the matter? Just because Li Sanmao is from Bai's Real Estate, you conclude that Xia Yu's car accident is related to us? Isn't this connection too far-fetched?

Although Yuan Weimin is a vice governor, Zhou Yinjiu is not afraid of him if things get serious. The reason why Bai's company can reach its current size is not just because of luck. They also have a strong background. It seems difficult for an ordinary vice governor to do anything to them.

Yuan Weimin had heard of Bai's Real Estate before, and they had dealt with each other before. He was in charge of the province's tourism work before, and some buildings in famous scenic spots such as Mount Emei and Jiuzhaigou were still built by Bai's Real Estate, but he was only responsible for the overall planning, and the specific work was done by a special department, and they did not have direct dealings.

Although he had never dealt with him directly, he had heard that Bai's Real Estate was the leader in the construction industry in Ducheng Province, with nearly half of the market share. He had also heard that Bai's Real Estate was very powerful and ordinary government officials did not take it seriously. But that was all just hearsay. When he actually met him today, he realized that what he said was true.

Yuan Weimin had just taken charge of the work of the Public Security Bureau. Facing Zhou Yinjiu's somewhat hostile gaze, he naturally could not be afraid. If he retreated now, it was conceivable that it would become very difficult for him to take over this job in the future, which was not the effect he wanted.

Facing Zhou Yinjiu, Yuan Weimin's face became a little serious. "Boss Zhou, I think you misunderstood. I am not saying that Li Sanmao's case has any significant relationship with your company. As you just said, cooperating with the public security organs in investigating the case is the obligation and responsibility of every citizen. I don't think Boss Zhou will refuse."

"Wait a minute, Vice Governor Yuan, I think you misunderstood what our President Zhou meant. My client was just stating a fact, that is, Li Sanmao is an adult, he is fully responsible for his own actions, and it has nothing to do with our company." Lawyer Zhang Guangda interrupted hurriedly. He also felt that Yuan Weimin seemed a little angry, but he was not afraid. He was a lawyer, and in his eyes, the law was the greatest.

"Lawyer Zhang, I don't think it's your turn to speak here. Although you are a lawyer, I haven't said that there is any problem with Mr. Zhou. Why are you so anxious to explain?" Yuan Weimin is not a pushover either. Think about it, who can be the vice governor and is a simple person?

Seeing that the talks between the two sides seemed to be about to break down, Wang Hailiang quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "Everyone, don't get excited. If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely."

After Wang Hailiang's words, the atmosphere at the scene was not as intense as before. Zhou Yinjiu thought about it and decided that there was no need for him to argue with Yuan Weimin for the time being. He could just answer whatever he wanted to ask. Anyway, he firmly believed that Li Sanmao's affairs had nothing to do with the company.

"Okay, since Director Wang said so, I'll give you a favor. Vice Governor Yuan, just ask whatever you want." Zhou Yinjiu took the opportunity to give Wang Hailiang a favor. At the same time, judging from the way he addressed Yuan Weimin, he was already a little angry, as if he had just called him Governor Yuan, but now he had changed his name to Vice Governor Yuan.

Zhou Yinjiu was not a member of the system. He thought he had given Wang Hailiang a favor, but he didn't know that by saying this, he was actually harming Wang Hailiang. How come my face as a vice governor is not as big as your face as a department director? After hearing this, Wang Hailiang smiled bitterly. Zhou Yinjiu was harming him. Didn't he know?

After hearing this, Yuan Weimin sneered. Well, the head of the Public Security Department has a lot of face? At the same time, he has a good relationship with Bai's Real Estate. In this case, should Wang Hailiang avoid the investigation of this case? After all, there is a circumvention system in the law.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through my mind, and now was not the time to talk about them. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Zhou. If that's the case, then I'll ask."

The conversation lasted for about twenty minutes. When Yuan Weimin came out of the conference room, his face was still serious. This was probably because the questions he asked Zhou Yinjiu just now were answered by the other party in a evasive manner, and Yuan Weimin even didn't know which one was true and which one was false.

Just as Master Zhou Yinjiu said, although Li Sanmao was a middle-level management cadre of Bai's Real Estate, he actually hardly stayed in the company for a long time. The company had also considered removing him a long time ago, but they did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

It can be said that Zhou Yinjiu does not want to acknowledge any relationship between Li Sanmao and Bai's Real Estate, that is, he wants to kick the ball away.

Yuan Weimin did not accept Zhou Yinjiu's attitude. The more the other party evaded the question, the more he thought that Li Sanmao had a very good relationship with Bai's Real Estate. It was just that Bai was relying on its powerful background and did not want to admit anything.

Yuan Weimin was not comfortable with today's meeting and conversation. He also truly felt that Li Sanmao's issue might not be resolved in a short time and he needed to be prepared for a protracted war.

Zhou Yinjiu watched Yuan Weimin, Wang Hailiang and others leave, then he turned around and went to the top floor to report to Bai Lianfeng. To put it bluntly, he was just a pawn, and he had to ask Chairman Bai for specific matters, and he couldn't make such a big decision.

Bai Lianfeng was sipping the red wine in his hand. It was obvious that his mood was not affected by the arrival of the police. He listened to Zhou Yinjiu's report quietly and nodded, "Very good, I have just called. This Yuan Weimin is a pawn of the new governor. The new governor wants to make a fuss about the public security of the whole province. He has some vision in this regard. The public security situation in Ducheng Province is indeed not very good. But he actually made our Bai family the first target. That was really a wrong calculation."

Listening to what the boss said, Zhou Yinjiu nodded, obviously he agreed. In fact, Bai Lianfeng had never let him down, and following such a master made him feel very proud, as if no difficult problem was worth mentioning in front of Bai Lianfeng. But think about it, this time it was a deputy governor who came to investigate the case, it can be said that the standard was very high, so after listening to this, he still whispered, "Boss Bai, do you think we need to teach him a lesson and let him back down when he sees difficulty?"

"No." Bai Lianfeng immediately shook his head. "Yuan Weimin is just a pawn now. They can't find any evidence. It wasn't us who did it. Let him investigate however he wants. What we have to do is wait and see. If he has other ideas and actions, it will be a sign of trouble. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Yinjiu nodded quickly. Since the boss said so, all he had to do was obey.

Yuan Weimin was very angry. He didn't look happy at all after he came out of Bai's Real Estate. A businessman dared to treat him in such an attitude. It was conceivable how difficult it would be for an ordinary policeman to handle the case.

This is not to say that Yuan Weimin cares about face, but he is analyzing this matter carefully. He is the vice governor of a province, which is not a low level, but even he and the Bai family don't take him seriously, which shows how arrogant they are and what they dare not do.

Wang Hailiang, who was sitting next to him in the car, was also in a bad mood. Zhou Yinjiu just now was really bad at speaking. What did he mean by giving himself face? What would other people think of this?

Normally, Wang Hailiang was not afraid of Yuan Weimin. He was just a deputy governor. There were many people more powerful than him in Ducheng Province. If he was afraid of him, how could he carry out his work? But from today on, the situation was different. He was the deputy governor in charge of public security. If he got into trouble with this person, it was conceivable that his future work would be full of troubles, which was not the result he wanted.
