592: Chapter 560: Hidden Truths 592: Chapter 560: Hidden Truths “Outrageous!

Absolutely outrageous!

What kind of behavior is this from the workers at Mingyang Factory?!

The city government has already made huge sacrifices and concessions in the planning and arrangement for Mingyang Factory, yet these workers are ungrateful and actually dare to storm the city government!

I believe that we must reconsider the arrangements and plans for Mingyang Factory.

Those that should be shut down must be shut down, those that should be laid off must be laid off.

Development must involve sacrifice!” Hong Rengui said indignantly at the City Committee Standing Committee meeting.

“Ahem…

Let me say a few words.” Yang Guangrong coughed twice and spoke calmly, “Since the expanded meeting of the City Committee Standing Committee has determined the relocation of Mingyang Factory, I think we should respect the decision of the meeting.

As for the troublemakers from Mingyang Factory, we can leave them to the police.

If Mingyang Factory has any other opinions, then we can convene another meeting to discuss and decide.”

Yang Guangrong’s words were well-grounded, and the other members of the Standing Committee, including Hong Rengui, had nothing more to say.

After the siege of the city government was lifted, Liu Hun was about to head home.

As soon as his car left the gates of the City Committee, someone stopped him.

It turned out to be the director of Mingyang Factory, Chen Yao.

Liu Hun immediately got out of the car and invited him in.

“Director Chen, what brings you here?

Is there something you need me for?” Liu Hun drove to a secluded spot before initiating the conversation.

With a pained expression, Chen Yao said to Liu Hun, “Comrade Liu Hun, I have no one to turn to but you.”

Seeing Chen Yao’s expression, Liu Hun comforted him, “Director Chen, take your time.

I will help as much as I can.”

Chen Yao sighed and began, “I went to see the leaders of the City Committee, but as soon as they heard I was the director of Mingyang Factory, they wouldn’t even pass on my message.

So I had no choice but to stop cars here, and after a long wait, I finally met you.”

“What’s the specific issue?”

“Alas!

It’s about the factory workers causing trouble again.

The three who were arrested are honest people.

How could they lead a protest?

They would never engage in such actions as storming the city government,” Chen Yao said conclusively.

Although Liu Hun also wanted to help, he had witnessed for himself the workers from Mingyang Factory encircling the city government, so he could only tell Chen Yao, “Director Chen, I indeed saw what happened that day, so the arrest of those people was not unjustified.

The city government has already made arrangements for Mingyang Factory.

While the relocation will indeed affect the interests of some, isn’t the overall interest of Mingyang Factory preserved?

We’ve fought for time for you; the City Committee and city government are also trying to find ways to settle your workers.

Why can’t you be patient?”

Chen Yao sensed some reproach in Liu Hun’s tone and immediately apologized, “Comrade Liu Hun, I know our Mingyang Factory workers were wrong.

I repeatedly warned them and held several staff meetings to remind them, but still, this incident happened.

Those three did make a mistake, but could you consider their actual situation and give them a lenient treatment?”

“Their actual situation?” Liu Hun suddenly asked.

Chen Yao, shaking his head in sighs, explained, “These three are veteran workers of Mingyang Factory, all with over a decade of service.

One has been working while sick, and another was recently diagnosed with liver cancer after a physical examination.

How could such people…

Ah!

How could they do something foolish?

Their whole families depend on them!”

Chen Yao became increasingly agitated, his sighs growing heavier.

Liu Hun had not expected this and suddenly thought, if they were in such a situation, why would they take the lead in storming the city government for such a small gain?

There might be more to the story.

With that thought, Liu Hun immediately stepped on the gas pedal and started the car, “Director Chen, I will take you to the police right now.

We’ll talk more when we see them.”

Seeing that Liu Hun was willing to help, Chen Yao quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, I’ll follow Comrade Liu Hun’s arrangements.”

Liu Hun returned to the Yuhua City Police Department, explained the situation to an officer, and was soon brought to the detention room in the criminal investigation unit where he saw the three workers from Mingyang Factory.

Liu Hun was about to enter when the officer pulled him aside and whispered, “There seems to be some hidden issues with these three, and they’re all in poor health.

If you can get anything out of them, that would be great.

It can help them too.”

Liu Hun gave the officer a grateful look and said, “I understand.” Then he followed Chen Yao into the detention room.

Upon seeing Chen Yao, the three men lowered their heads, each burying their head lower than the others.

Chen Yao pointed at the heads of the three and scolded each one in turn, and none of them talked back.

By this time, Liu Hun seemed to understand the relationship between such a director and the workers in a state-owned enterprise.

It was much like a head of a large family, knowing all his workers’ affairs and taking them upon himself.

After the scolding was over, Chen Yao, exhausted, sat down on a chair and asked the three men, “Tell me!

Speak up!

Why did you cause trouble?

I’ve held several meetings, repeated countless times that we should comply with the city government’s arrangements, and respect their decisions.

Why did you still go?!”

The three men kept their heads buried very low, and one of them had even started to choke back sobs, saying softly, “Manager Chen, we’ve let you down.”

“What’s the use of saying sorry?

Do you know your kids and spouses run to the factory every day, come to look for me every day?

They ask me what’s happened to you, how am I supposed to tell them?

If you go to jail, what’s to become of your kids and spouses?” Chen Yao said, both anxious and resentful, nearly gasping for breath.

Liu Hun poured a glass of water for Chen Yao and sat close to the three men.

Once he caught the scent, he immediately knew the reason and asked right away, “I know all three of you are suffering from terminal illness, and must have taken someone’s money under their orders to do such things.

I understand what you’re thinking, wanting to leave something for your families at the end of your lives.” Liu Hun paused, “What good is money when you’re gone, and your wives and children have to live with longing and pain every day?”

After a pause, having played the family card, Liu Hun continued, “I know Director Xiao from the provincial People’s Hospital.

She is highly accomplished in medicine, and I am sure she can cure you, and you can spend the next decades with your families just like before.

I also guarantee it won’t cost you a penny!”

Upon hearing this, all three men immediately lifted their heads to look at Liu Hun, their eyes filled with hope and uncertainty.

Liu Hun knew the temptation to live was greater than anything else, “If you don’t believe me, I can offer you some security.

First, however much money you took from others, I’ll pay you double.

Secondly, I’ll deposit one million each for you; if your illnesses are not cured, that one million goes to your families.

If cured, you return the one million to me, what do you say?”

Faced with such tempting conditions, the three exchanged glances and all nodded in agreement.

“Tell the whole story from beginning to end.

You will have to bear the legal responsibilities that you should, but the conditions I’ve promised you remain unchanged,” Liu Hun said.

He then called in the assistant to take a new statement from the three men.

After the confession of the three men, Liu Hun discovered that they had taken someone else’s money and then instigated the employees of Mingyang Factory to make trouble.

The person who gave them the money and the instructions was known as Black Dog.

Based on the descriptions from the three men, Liu Hun got the assistant to create a sketch of the culprit, while on one hand, the investigative team started looking for the person through various channels; on the other hand, Liu Hun sent a message to Zhong Xiao, asking him to dig out this person called Black Dog.

Indeed, the efficiency within the shadows was much higher than in the light of day.

It took Zhong Xiao less than five days to find this person called Black Dog, and after locking him in the newly acquired Qianqian Sauna Club for a full day and night, he began to question him.

“Black Dog, do you know why we’ve brought you here?” Zhong Xiao still stood at the forefront, while Liu Hun hid in the background.

With a gold chain on his shoulder, Black Dog, whose shoulder was tattooed with a wolf head, didn’t seem scared at all, “I warn you, let me go, or else…”

“Bang!” Before Black Dog could finish his sentence, Erzi landed a punch on his face.

“Know who I am?” Zhong Xiao stared at Black Dog, his gaze chillingly cold.

Black Dog, having taken a punch, was a bit frightened by Zhong Xiao’s demeanor and immediately shook his head.

“My name is Zhong Xiao.

Need I say more?” Zhong Xiao revealed his identity and asked directly.

Black Dog was so scared he nearly wet his pants.

The man who had flattened entertainment venues across both the southeastern districts of Yuhua City, rooted out the largest power in Yuhua City—a bald man named Xue—and took over all his businesses within a matter of days, Black Dog had never seen how ruthless and brutal his methods could be, only heard of them, but he did not wish to witness them.

“I’ll speak!

I’ll speak!

It was Guo Dong, Ai Rou’s boss who gave me the money to do this,” Black Dog confessed immediately, earnestly.

“Hmph, right when I am about to deal with him, he comes to my doorstep,” Zhong Xiao said with a cold smirk.

Black Dog felt a chill in his heart upon hearing these words.

“Pretend it’s your initiative and invite him out for a meal, understand?” Zhong Xiao instructed Black Dog.

“Understood!

Understood!

Understood!

Brother Zhong, rest assured, there’s absolutely no problem, I will take care of it for you,” Black Dog hurriedly nodded and replied repeatedly.

“Erzi, take him out for a good meal.

Tomorrow afternoon, two o’clock, Wankelou Restaurant, Room 3 in the East District,” Zhong Xiao said, waving his hand, and with that, Erzi took Black Dog away.
