Seeing Zhang Wenhui and Song Xiaojia present, Chen Jianjun looked startled and said, "Why are you two here? Are you openly helping Lin Chuan?"
Song Xiaojia spoke coldly, "Director Chen, we are police officers, we do not favor any side. However, Director Chen, why did you mobilize the police force without authorization? Aren't you afraid..."
"Song Xiaojia, don't scare me!" Chen Jianjun scoffed coldly, "I have the approval of Deputy Secretary Song for this matter. Moreover, the Director also verbally authorized me. How do you think you can scare me?!"
"Where's the written approval?" Song Xiaojia rebuked sternly.
"This..." Chen Jianjun paused, then laughed, "Don't you know that's how things are done in our department? Where would the written approval come from?"
"You acted without written approval, you really have some nerve!" Song Xiaojia sneered and said, "Now you have two choices, first, complete the written approval; second, resign yourself. Otherwise, you cannot bear the consequences of this matter!"
"Haha..." Chen Jianjun laughed loudly, "Song Xiaojia, really, don't try to scare me, I'm not someone who gets scared easily."
"You don't believe it?" Song Xiaojia smiled and said, "This time you have seriously violated the law and discipline, I have already reported this to the authorities, if you can't explain this matter to the organization and produce the relevant written approval, then you will have to bear the responsibility this time."
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Jianjun's phone rang.
The call was from the Provincial Committee Public Security Department.
Once Chen Jianjun answered the phone, he almost collapsed, the person on the other line was very stern and their tone was sharp, they directly questioned Chen Jianjun and demanded that he immediately scan and send over the written approval. Otherwise, he would bear the consequences.
Chen Jianjun muddled through the call, and after hanging up, he was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected a regular operation to give others leverage over him, and in desperation, he immediately called Director Chen.
"Director, from the Provincial Committee..." Chen Jianjun urgently began.
However, before he could finish, Director Chen had already interrupted him, "Xiao Chen, I already know about this. I'll find a way to help you!"
"Oh, Director, why bother with that?" Chen Jianjun urgently said, "Just quickly issue me a written approval. Otherwise, I'm likely to lose my position!"
"Don't worry, that won't happen," Director Chen said with a laugh.
"The people from the Public Security Department said that if I don't get the written approval, I'll be dismissed!" Chen Jianjun said with a bitter smile, "I need that document right now!"
"I can't issue that for you." Director Chen said helplessly, "Why don't you go and ask Song Ming?"
"I..." Chen Jianjun was at a loss.
Before he could finish speaking, Director Chen immediately hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Chen Jianjun's face turned dark, he realized that he had already become a scapegoat for others, and this blame was definitively on him.
Chen Jianjun dreaded to imagine the consequences of being dismissed, if he was, he could no longer go out in style, perhaps whenever he went out, people would look at him with suspicious eyes. Even someone might talk behind his back. Thinking of this, Chen Jianjun's mind was in turmoil.
"No, no, I can't just accept this!" Chen Jianjun hurriedly shook his head.
He immediately picked up the phone to call Song Ming.
However, he couldn't get through to Song Ming's phone. It was constantly busy. Unaware why, a spark crossed Chen Jianjun's mind and he quickly borrowed a colleague's mobile phone to call Song Ming, and this time it went through.
"Secretary Song, please help me," before Song Ming could speak, Chen Jianjun pleaded desperately.
Receiving the call from Chen Jianjun, Song Ming was instantly furious, even though he had already blacklisted his number, this guy had figured it out. Song Ming said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, in the political journey, it's inevitable for some to sacrifice, for some to fall. It's just like the path of revolution. So don't be too sad. If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring you back."
After speaking, Song Ming immediately hung up the phone.
Chen Jianjun was stunned, his face a mix of shock and disbelief, his expression extremely solemn. He did not expect that he had indeed become someone else's scapegoat, and he was deeply distressed.
"Director, what... what should we do now?" a close confidant asked urgently at his side.
"What to do?" Chen Jianjun said with a bitter smile, "Retreat!"
"Yes, yes!" the confidant nodded quickly.
Then, a group of them dejectedly withdrew.
Song Xiaojia looked at Lin Chuan with concern and asked, "Lin Chuan, are you okay?"
"It's fine." Lin Chuan shook his head, then smiled and said, "I didn't even lay a hand on anyone."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan irritably and said, "How many times have I told you not to be impulsive!"
"I wasn't being impulsive!" Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"Still claiming you weren't impulsive!" Song Xiaojia looked at Lin Chuan irritably and said, "If you weren't impulsive, then why would you act like that? Being non-impulsive leads to fighting with people? Being non-impulsive leads to conflicts with the police?"
"So, by your logic, if I had killed Chen Jianjun, would that be impulsive?" Lin Chuan retorted.
"Of course!" Song Xiaojia nodded.
"Then that means, if I killed him, it would just be a crime of passion, right?" Lin Chuan asked with a grin.
"You!" Song Xiaojia, flustered, said, "That would be murder!"
"Right!" Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Everything tonight was premeditated, something I had prepared for a long time. So, you should understand, this wasn't impulsiveness, but rather coming prepared."
"You jerk!" Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan irritably and said, "If Chen Jianjun really had brought the approval documents today, they could have fired without fear. Then how many of your brothers would survive? Can you bear that responsibility?"
Lin Chuan sneered and said, "I figured Chen Jianjun wouldn't have the guts!"
"A cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will still bite," Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan and said, "If you push him too far, just see if he doesn't strike back. Then, you'll have regrets."
"Heh, but he didn't make a move this time, did he?" Lin Chuan chuckled.
In fact, Lin Chuan completely had the means to restrain the other party. If the other party really dared to shoot, then he could subdue them in no time. Capturing the king first in catching thieves; once Chen Jianjun was captured, the battle would be over. Thus, Lin Chuan saw that the initiative in this struggle was completely in his hands. Lin Chuan didn't need to worry at all.
"Hmph!" Song Xiaojia replied irritably, "Be careful he doesn't come after you next time!"
"Next time?" Lin Chuan was startled, "Isn't that guy about to be fired?"
"Do you really think it's that easy to fire a deputy director of a police station?" Song Xiaojia rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan and continued, "He's still at least a mid-level official, and without a major mistake, he certainly won't be fired."
"Him dispatching so many people without authorization before getting the approval isn't a big mistake?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Of course it is!" Song Xiaojia nodded and said, "But with Song Ming's abilities, he should be able to save him. Of course, it's not impossible that Song Ming might sacrifice the minor to save the major. Anyway, you should really reflect on yourself. You might be powerful, but you can't continue being impulsive like this. Otherwise, it won't be good for you."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Chuan nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely reflect on myself, but before that, I need to take back the territory of the Juyi Gang!"
Having said that, Lin Chuan waved to Zhou Kai and the others, "Zhou Kai, try to take back our territory in a gentle manner, got it?"
"Eh..." Zhou Kai looked puzzled, "Gentle manner? What's that?"
"Win people over with virtue!" Lin Chuan chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai immediately grinned and said, "Got it!"
After speaking, Zhou Kai immediately led a group of brothers towards Monk and the others. Monk and his people were all standing at the entrance of their bar. Seeing Zhou Kai and his group approaching, Monk, holding a Guan Gong knife, took the lead and stood in front of everyone: "Who dares to take our territory, must pass me first!"
Monk was tall and big, with a strong build and muscles all over. He was wearing a military green vest and black trousers with flip-flops on his feet.
Zhou Kai was much shorter than him. He walked up to Monk, looked up, and said, "Monk, what if you join us, the Juyi Gang? We could still be brothers after that. But if you decide to fight to the death against us, you know the consequences."
"Heh, the Juyi Gang is neither benevolent nor righteous; joining you guys is pointless!" Monk said disdainfully. "What about those who have joined you? What good has come to them in the end? Who can truly integrate into the Juyi Gang? At most, they're given the position of a squad leader. Even if I joined your Juyi Gang, what position could you give me, unless you make me a Hall Master."
"Alright!" Zhou Kai nodded, he picked his nose and said, "But in our Juyi Gang, positions are held by the capable. Monk, you've always touted yourself as formidable; if you can beat me today, then... the position of Unity Hall Hall Master will be yours. How about that?"
"Kai!" Lu Dapao urgently shouted, "Have you lost your mind?!"
Monk was famously strong in Jiangbei City; how could Zhou Kai be his opponent? Even if Zhou Kai could defeat Monk, it would almost be a fight to the death. So, Lu Dapao was worried.
"Brother Kai, don't mess around!" Li Qiang urgently shouted.
Nobody wanted Zhou Kai to get hurt, nor did anyone want the position of the Unity Hall Hall Master to change hands so easily. Thus, the brothers from Juyi Gang all spoke out to dissuade him, but Lin Chuan didn't take it seriously and continued to do as he pleased.
Lu Dapao turned and looked at Lin Chuan who was not far away: "Chuan, persuade Zhou Kai to stop. This kid has gone mad."
