Rebirth of the Rising Sun

No matter how dumb Lu Bin was, he sensed something. He looked at Fan Yuegang and then at Lu Keyuan, and realized that the two were not here to see him, but to intercede for each other. This showed that this person was exactly the one he had in mind, otherwise, they would not have come to intercede. "County Magistrate Fan, Secretary Lu, what do you mean? Do you want to help him, favor him, and intercede for him? Don't you see how badly I'm injured? Do you always support him in your heart, and I am not important?"

Facing Lu Bin's three questions, Fan Yuegang quickly raised his hand to stop him. "Old Lu, please don't say that. The reason why Old Lu and I did this is because it has already happened. Even if we are investigating who is responsible, it can't change the facts. Instead of doing this, it's better to get a good deal and think about how to make the other party compensate. This way, it won't be a waste of a beating, right?"

"Yes, what County Magistrate Fan said is right. The incident has already happened. Even if you arrest him now, what can happen? You have already been beaten. I think it is better to do as County Magistrate Fan said. You put forward some conditions and then let him do it. In this way, although you have been beaten, you have indeed gained benefits. It is not too much of a loss, right?" Lu Keyuan also quickly agreed with Fan Yuegang and said that the murderer should not be severely punished.

Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan had expressed their opinions, so Lu Bin had to think about it. In Qiu County, he was a member of the Fan faction, and the core figures of the Fan faction were just the two people in front of him. It could be said that if he served these two well, his future would be bright, otherwise, it would be difficult. Therefore, these two people were not people he could afford to offend. This matter was just as they said, he had already been beaten, so at this time, should he also listen to the other party's advice and take a step back at the right time?

It is like this a lot of the time in the world. If you take a step forward, there is no way to go, but if you take a step back, the sky will be wide open. Putting aside other things, just the fact that these two people have come forward to plead for mercy, if he still does not have an attitude at this time, he will inevitably be suspected of being shameless. If this is the case, many things in Qiu County will be difficult to do in the future.

After looking at Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan again, seeing the sincere expectation in their eyes, Lu Bin could only sigh, "Well, okay, since the two leaders have said so, I have to give you this face. But this time he must apologize with a sincere attitude, and the person who beat him must be handed over to me for severe punishment, and I must ensure that such a thing will never happen again. At the same time, compensation must be made to Manager Yu. After all, he is an entrepreneur who came to Qiu County to invest. It doesn't matter if he beat me this time. We are all one of us, but he still has status, right?"

Lu Bin deliberately said that he didn't care about being beaten, but Yu Shangyuan didn't. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to get more compensation. How could Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan not understand this?

Fortunately, the two of them had already discussed it with Wu Shiyou, so these things were no longer a big deal. So the two of them agreed immediately, "Okay, no problem, Lao Lu, we guarantee that the other party can agree to the conditions you proposed. How about this, you take a good rest first, and later we will bring this person to apologize to you, and at the same time, we will also fulfill the corresponding conditions you proposed one by one, okay?"

"Okay, let the two leaders make the decision." Lu Bin nodded. This was the only thing he could do now that things had come to this.

So, Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan left Lu Bin's ward and walked into Wu Shiyou's ward. In this ward, Chen Xiaojun was discussing something with him.

Wu Shiyou saw Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan pushing the door open, and he immediately sat up and said, "Hello, County Magistrate Fan, Hello, Secretary Lu."

"Yeah, Manager Chen is here too." Seeing Chen Xiaojun was also here, Fan Yuegang snorted. In fact, whether it was Chen Xiaojun or Yu Shangyuan, they were actually puppets hired by Wu Shiyou and Lu Bin. He knew this very well. He knew that these people were not entrepreneurs, so he would not necessarily respect them.

Chen Xiaojun also knew how important he was in the eyes of his superiors. Seeing that County Magistrate Fan was not impressed by him, he nodded quickly and said, "Hello, County Magistrate Fan, hello, Secretary Lu. Secretary Wu, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Well, then you go back first. Remember to do what I arranged and find that person for me." Wu Shiyou also knew that Fan Yuegang looked down on gangsters like Chen Xiaojun, so he agreed to Chen Xiaojun's departure, but he did not forget to tell the other party some things before leaving.

Chen Xiaojun left Wu Shiyou's ward. Then, Wu Shiyou said to Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan with a smile, "Two leaders, please take a seat."

"Yes." Fan Yuegang agreed and sat down next to Wu Shiyou's bed, then got to the point in a serious tone, "Old Wu, Secretary Lu and I have already talked to Old Lu about this matter. After our consultation and persuasion, he has agreed that as long as you make those three conditions, he will not pursue the matter. When do you think you can complete those three things?"

"Ah, County Magistrate Fan, the situation is like this. Originally, I had arranged people to do these three tasks early on, and it should be easy to accomplish. But now there is a problem. That is, Xiao Wu, who beat people, suddenly disappeared. I sent people to look for him but couldn't find him. So I was wondering if you could give me some more time. Once I find the person, I will send him to Lu Bin. What do you think?" Wu Shiyou answered Fan Yuegang's question with some lack of confidence.

Chen Xiaojun came here just now to talk about this matter. That is, after he returned from Wu Shiyou in the morning, he immediately sent someone to contact Xiaowu, but he couldn't get in touch with him no matter how hard he tried. This person seemed to have disappeared suddenly. Chen Xiaojun asked everyone who might know the news, but the answer he got was that they didn't know. So, in desperation, Chen Xiaojun had to come to Wu Shiyou to report and ask for instructions on what to do next.

Wu Shiyou had not expected such a situation to happen, but since things had come to this, he could only wait. Just now, when he told Chen Xiaojun to do a good job and find the person, he was actually talking about finding Xiaowu.

"What? Xiaowu is missing? What's going on?" Fan Yue was a little anxious when he heard that the attacker was missing. Of course, he didn't think that the attacker was really missing, but he was wondering if Wu Shiyou had some bad idea again. He didn't want to hand over the attacker or apologize, and just wanted to let the matter go.

"I just learned about this situation. Maybe Xiaowu was afraid of getting into trouble after beating someone up, so he went to find a friend to hide. But it's okay. I believe that after some time, the person will be found. At that time, I will definitely arrange to send him to Deputy County Magistrate Lu to deal with it and relieve his resentment." Wu Shiyou really wanted to solve this matter and had no intention of delaying it. So when he spoke, his tone was extremely sincere and frank.

Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan saw Wu Shiyou's performance. Fan Yuegang was quite pleased with this performance. No matter what, he saw sincerity in it, which was a good thing. It was just that Xiaowu was not found, which should not be a big deal. But the same thing was not the case in Lu Keyuan's eyes.

In Lu Keyuan's opinion, the more sincere Wu Shiyou is, the more problems there are.

"Old Wu, tell me the truth. Do you really want to protect Xiao Wu and don't want to hand him over? Or are you using this excuse to fool me and County Magistrate Fan?"

"Secretary Lu, you can't say that. I'm apologizing sincerely. It's true that I couldn't find Xiaowu for the time being. It's not that I want to cover up for him. You know, as long as there is money, there are many desperate criminals like this. I won't be stingy for such a person and lose the big picture for the small." Wu Shiyou answered with a look of "you have completely wronged me."

Seeing Wu Shiyou's answer, Lu Keyuan frowned even more, "If that's the case, why can't we find him? Is there any real reason, for example, someone deliberately hid Xiaowu? Let me ask you, Old Wu, besides you, does anyone else know about this?"

"Besides me, the only person who knows about this is Chen Xiaojun, but he will never do this. In Qiu County, only when I am well can he get well, and he knows this truth. How could he go against me? No, absolutely not." Wu Shiyou thought about it. Not many people knew about this matter, and those who knew about it were all people he trusted. They should not do such a thankless thing, right?

"Hey, Lao Lu, are you overthinking it? Xiao Wu just beat someone up, and the one he beat was such a prestigious person. Maybe he was just scared and went to hide. This is normal. I don't think it's necessary to think so complicated." Seeing that Lu Keyuan took Xiao Wu's disappearance so seriously, Fan Yuegang looked at him as if he was making a fuss. In his opinion, it was just a small gangster who disappeared. What's the big deal?
