Chapter 890: Chapter 493: A Desperate Rabbit Kicks the Eagle

"Hello, this is the police station at Sancha River. Yes! No, that won’t work; I really can’t make the call. Our director took people out to chase fugitives in Nanguang City, and we can’t get in touch right now; I’m just the one watching the place..."

"No place would work; you’d have to call our superiors. I can’t release anyone here. We’ve already prepared the detention notices; if you want them, send someone over to pick them up!"

"Our Director Lin is away on a trip! These people have admitted themselves; they came to force buying and selling, and when the others didn’t agree, they even resorted to assault. They didn’t injure anyone else; they hurt themselves."

"We don’t know where they’re from either! They claim they are such and such without any ID. What can we do? After they were brought here, they confessed themselves. There was absolutely no torture for confessions; come take a look if you don’t believe it. They admitted it themselves..."

"If you want people released, that needs to come from our leaders. These are people formally detained; if I released them just on your say-so, what are we, a police station, even here for? Why don’t you go be the emperor!"

For the whole morning, the work Dang Wenzheng did was sip tea while answering phone calls. Without exception, all the calls were about releasing people. Some were pleas; others were commands. When some commands were too harsh, Dang Wenzheng didn’t mince his words.

This guy wasn’t stupid; he knew he was just there to be the scapegoat and wasn’t afraid of offending anyone. So what if he did? He was just a temporary worker at the police station, not on the official payroll; at worst, they’d fire him. And even if they fired him, they would need to find a reason, and at least in this case, he hadn’t done anything wrong.

What if he were fired? He’d just go work at a cattle farm. Being a temporary public security officer might look impressive, but in reality, the wages at a township police station were so low that working there for three months didn’t earn as much as a month’s pay at the cattle farm—where they provided room and board along with work clothes, plus regular supplies like laundry powder and soap. Without smoking, if someone wanted to save money, they could keep every cent of their salary.

Thinking about the living standards at the cattle farm, Dang Wenzheng rushed headlong down the road to ’making a mess’, not giving face to anyone who came by.

As it was proved, ’right makes might’ sometimes makes sense. At least for now, the idea of releasing these people out into the open immediately was not something to consider.

Because the phone practically never stopped, both of them had their meals delivered from a restaurant. Just as the meals were delivered, the phone stopped ringing. It was silent until after they had finished eating, and Dang Wenzheng even joked, "What happened? I was just getting into it! Why did the calls suddenly stop?"

No calls might not be a good thing; basically, everyone who should have called had done so by now. Yan Fei probably guessed that Dang Wenzheng had blocked all the necessary calls and knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

He made a call to Hong Kong to inform Guo Jingya of his situation, then asked, "Do you have any lawyers over there familiar with our local law? Could you send me a couple?"

Guo Jingya immediately agreed and even gave him advice, "Getting just two lawyers won’t be very useful, I’ll also contact a few newspaper reporters for you. You take care of their lodging and keep them at your place, I’ll ask how much they charge for a day, and you just make sure to pay them. Oh, and you need to protect them, don’t let them get caught."

"Don’t worry, if they play by the rules, we’ll play by the rules, and they will be fine. If someone doesn’t want to play by the rules, then you can be even more assured!" Yan Fei promised confidently.

"Great! I’ll start contacting them now!" Guo Jingya was very decisive.

After some more small talk, Guo Jingya couldn’t help but ask, "Do you really not know any martial arts masters from Hong Kong who can silently capture a group of armed people?"

"Truly, I don’t know them. I’ve just been raising cattle at home, and only visited your place once; besides you all, I don’t know anyone else." This wasn’t a lie from Yan Fei; it was the truth.

"Alright then!" Guo Jingya’s voice suddenly lost its vigor. "I’m going to contact some lawyers and journalists for you now, remember to check your pager. I’ll ask them to get there as quickly as possible, they should arrive by tonight, and make sure someone picks them up."

After hanging up, Yan Feei went back.

Guo Jingya’s efficiency was outstanding; not long after he arrived at the cattle farm, the pager came through. He called back, and Guo Jingya said straight away, "I’ve found the people: two lawyers and two journalists. You don’t need to pick them up; I’ve arranged for Jia Hao to bring them to you. They’ll go straight from the airport to your place, you just need to sort out accommodations."

"That works. Tell Jia Hao not to skimp on my behalf; don’t let them suffer on the way. Whatever it costs them to come, I’ll reimburse; thanks for the trouble." Yan Fei was initially thinking about heading to the station to find a minibus to the airport, but now that was taken care of.

Jia Hao was one of Guo Jingya’s bodyguards, who had been to the area before and was quite familiar with it. Him leading the group was perfect.

Just after hanging up, Director Lin from the police station called, "Boss Yan, Brother Fei, there was another call just now, telling me if I can’t do the job, I should just beat it. I got mad, you know. I’m planning to cut the phone line in a bit, and get down to some serious questioning to see if these bastards have committed any other crimes. What do you think?"

The morning calls were mostly probing, with the majority coming from within the city, inquiring about the details. When something like this happens, every department is bothered by it; if your own people go to someone else’s turf to force a sale, if the matter doesn’t get out, who is going to intervene? If the people involved have admitted it, what can anyone argue?
