Chapter 749: Chapter 380 Yan Fei Explains the Law_1

After listening to Minister Pan’s sighs, Yan Fei was still smiling, "Ah, I was actually forced to arrest them. My Uncle Baoguo personally went to the police station to report the crime, and I originally wanted to wait for the police to handle it. Unexpectedly, I stopped for a moment on the road in front of their gate, and their people yelled and drove me away, not allowing me to stay."

"At that moment, I felt something was strange, so I listened carefully. All I could hear were terrible screams that were heartbreaking. The situation was urgent, so in order to prevent them from making a bigger mistake, I was obliged to rush in and stop their illegal criminal activities."

"Enough, Boss Yan. Spare me!" Old Pan was on the verge of collapse. "This can be said by others, but it always sounds weird coming from you, making me feel extremely uneasy. Keep your story for when your Uncle Baoguo brings people over, and you can share it with them here at your leisure..."

The soldiers nearby usually tried to maintain seriousness, but at this time, they couldn’t help but chuckle. Old Pan turned around and yelled at them, "What are you laughing at? Look at Boss Yan, that’s how you do great things. Knowing that you don’t know many characters and can’t read, he still knew to marry a law student. You should learn from him instead of standing around laughing foolishly..."

Yan Fei was instantly indignant: "Uncle Pan, what are you talking about? How can I not read many characters and lack ability? After the summer, I’ll be a high school student. Just you wait, in the future, I am going to attend university and become a Ph.D., and I’ll leave you all astonished."

Old Pan was speechless: "Alright alright. You are educated! I hope I can live to see that day. Rest a bit now, I estimate that people will arrive soon. No matter who comes later, you should recite your speech. Let me watch the drama today?"

Everyone didn’t have to wait long before several vehicles arrived at the entrance of the Armed Department.

Xiang Changqing and Lin Baoguo were leading the way in their worn-out jeep, followed by a sedan-style police car and a van police car. A group of people got down and entered the Armed Department.

As Lin Baoguo walked in with his group, he introduced them to Old Pan: "This is Director Liu from the Sophora Forest Police Station. This is our Minister Pan from the Armed Department, and the one who arrested people was his nearest militia."

Director Liu was also very polite: "Minister Pan, right? Hello, I’m here to understand the specific situation, to see if there has been some misunderstanding?"

He couldn’t be impolite!

If it was someone from the bureau, it would be easier to say something, but if it was a station leader from the police station, that would be different. Even ignoring the difference in rank, the police station and the Armed Department were not in the same system, and he couldn’t assert himself.

This is the benefit of being organized. If Yan Fei were not a militiaman, it would be as he said, barging into the security room to rescue and arrest people. Even if he were to prevent a crime, the issue would be so serious that it would create a huge mess. In that case, it would not simply be the director of a small police station who would come, but the Armed Police Force to arrest people.

But things are different with a militiaman. Everyone is responsible for maintaining security and stopping crime. When the key moments come, a small militiaman steps forward. Even if the actions are a bit aggressive, no one can fault it. Moreover, after arresting people, he directly transferred them to the Armed Department, which no longer counts as private arrests.

Facing such an incident, this jurisdictional police station didn’t want to report upwards. They knew it was a shoddy issue, and reporting it upwards would give a bad impression to the superiors, which would be causing trouble for themselves.

The reason is simple, the director of security in the jurisdiction was caught in a bad situation, and the entire security room was taken down by a militia from a rural Armed Department. If this news got out, it wouldn’t look good. Especially since they are not in the same system, making a big deal would not look good to the superiors, and the people below wouldn’t fare well either. The best course of action is as it is now, first take a step back and privately communicate. If things can be sorted out, then everything will be fine and we can all behave as if nothing happened. How great is that!

Although Director Liu spoke politely, Old Pan didn’t intend to continue this topic. He was willing to let Yan Fei hold these people in the Armed Department, and let Yan Fei handle matters under the name of the Armed Department, which was already a considerable favor. He couldn’t be expected to personally take up the fight, could he?

So, once everyone had entered the room and tea had been served, he turned around and pointed at Yan Fei, saying, "This is Comrade Yan Fei, who acted to stop the criminal activity at the time. He is the captain of our militia in Sancha River, and also a leading figure in our community’s effort to prosper. He has several commendable instances of halting illegal activities in the past, and he has been commended and awarded several times by the county. I’ll let him introduce the specifics."

With a modest and shy smile, Yan Fei cleared his throat and said, "Hello Director Liu, and all the comrades present, good afternoon!"

His demeanor resembled that of someone addressing an assembly hall.

"Minister Pan’s words were a bit exaggerated. I’m actually just a cattle farmer. The van that went to sell beef in the city today belongs to my cattle farm, and those people are all employees of my farm."

"Here’s what happened: A few days ago, I went to the Provincial City to pick up my wife, who is studying at the Provincial University Law School. I happened to have just completed building a house in the Provincial City and had just paid for the construction, so I decided to stay for a day, look over the new house, and visit two old professors who had helped me in the past. But this morning, I received some bad news, so I rushed back immediately."

"On the way, I had already heard that Director Lin from our local police station had personally stepped in to resolve our issues. So I felt at ease. However, when I arrived, I learned that even after Director Lin had made the effort, he hadn’t been able to meet the person in charge and had to look for other solutions. Nonetheless, I still trusted Director Lin and planned to wait there."

Yan Fei spoke calmly and unhurriedly. But those listening felt far from calm hearing about his house in the Provincial City, his wife in the Law School, and the professors who had helped him. The string of revelations came across as rather boastful.

That was exactly the effect that Yan Fei was after. Since they were from the city, he would talk about his ties to the provincial authorities to see who could pull more weight.

"At that moment, something extremely upsetting happened. We had merely parked near the entrance of the security office when we were insulted and expelled by the people inside. And that’s not all, I heard shrieks of my workers being beaten and tortured inside. Under such circumstances, as a reserve militia of the country, I couldn’t just stand by..."

Listening to Yan Fei calmly embellish the story, with each serious accusation — knowledge of the law and yet breaking it, illegal law enforcement, collusion between officials and businessmen, assuming the persona of law enforcement personnel, illegally detaining and assaulting others and so on, Director Liu’s face gradually became more and more grim.

How could he not? The people of Sancha River had managed the situation so meticulously, completely faultless whether in terms of reason or law. Regardless of what started the fight, they had adhered to local procedures and even involved the local police station director for investigation and coordination. Yet, the security office disregarded all these.

The owner of the premise had gone to get information, and any place would allow for temporary parking near its entrance. How could the security office dare to ignore this? Detaining people without reporting is essentially a private detention. Beating people under lawful detention is illegal law enforcement and forced confession. Private detention and physical assault, what would you call that?

These series of illegal acts, connected one after another in Yan Fei’s narration, wasn’t causing minor annoyance, it felt like a trick to trap them. It was clearly intended to completely ruin them.

The main point is that all those ’injured’ workers have already gone to the county hospital for injury assessment. It was clear that they were determined to establish concrete evidence of the crime and hold those arrested accountable without giving them any chance of overturning the case.

As things had progressed to such an extent, Director Liu was feeling extremely uneasy. He regretted bringing his team here unprepared and exposing themselves to humiliation. All the excuses he had thought up on the road just wouldn’t come out when faced with the young man’s endless talk.

He really should not have come! These damned folks needed to be taught a lesson. Even though what they did was on their own land, it was indeed too excessive. If this continues, sooner or later, it will... no, it has already affected him!
