Chapter 225 - 225 225 The New Official's Three Fires

225: Chapter 225: The New Official’s Three Fires 225: Chapter 225: The New Official’s Three Fires Hearing that there were still Japanese involved, Tie Zhuzi became anxious on the spot.

They originally harbored national hatred towards the Japanese, and now, learning that they wanted to kill him, his feelings erupted in an instant.

“Brother Yu, you knew they were Japanese, so why don’t we go and take revenge?” Tie Zhuzi said with a face full of grievance.

Looking at Yu’s expression, he must have known it was the Japanese who had done this, but Xiang Yu hadn’t sought revenge, which made Tie Zhuzi feel very aggrieved.

At that moment, he seemed more like a child in front of Xiang Yu.

“My great-grandfather was killed by the Japanese invaders, and my hatred for them is irreconcilable,” Tie Zhuzi said somewhat sadly.

“Zhuzi, don’t worry, we will never let them go, it’s just that we haven’t had any news of them…” Xiang Yu updated Tie Zhuzi on the recent investigation.

Tie Zhuzi felt relieved when he heard that Xiang Yu wasn’t inactive, but just hadn’t found them yet.

With a nervous heart, Ouyang Xiu and Shi Jian went to the Public Security Bureau to report a crime.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had finished reporting, the police started to mobilize, dispatching several police cars to arrest Ouyang Xing.

For a moment, Ouyang Xiu hadn’t come to terms with it, thinking that these policemen were just on another assignment.

Ouyang Xiu followed them, but then saw them heading straight to Ouyang Xing’s office.

Only when reaching the base of Ouyang Xing’s office building, did Ouyang Xiu finally believe that it was all true, that the police were indeed here to arrest Ouyang Xing.

A group of policemen stormed into Ouyang Xing’s office, where he was deep in thought.

Ouyang Xing was taken aback by the sudden influx of people.

“Comrade officer, what’s going on?” Ouyang Xing asked, filled with confusion.

“Are you Ouyang Xing?” one of them asked, looking like a squad leader, and apparently, a newly appointed one.

“I am Ouyang Xing,” Ouyang Xing nodded, still confused about what was happening.

When he saw Ouyang Xiu and the others walk in, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Please have a seat, comrades.

I’m very familiar with our current Director Wang, we dine together often…” Ouyang Xing quickly tried to make connections.

He knew that their director had just taken office, and Ouyang Xing had not yet managed to establish connections with him, let alone dine together.

“No need to bother, you should just come with us.

Someone has accused you of murder, and of several people at that,” the squad leader said sternly, not caring about Ouyang Xing’s relationship with the director.

“Officers, don’t listen to them, these people are all my enemies…” Ouyang Xing pointed at Ouyang Xiu and the others.

But before he could finish, the squad leader waved his hand, and a group of policemen immediately arrested Ouyang Xing.

Then, one of the officers came over and said, “Captain Lin, his son Ouyang Xing has escaped, we haven’t found him.”

“Continue the manhunt,” Captain Lin ordered sternly, then he turned to Ouyang Xiu, “You should come with me too.”

Ouyang Xiu quickly nodded, his reaction slow, as if he were in a dream.

It had all come too abruptly.

He had already become disillusioned and lost faith in the relevant authorities.

But today seemed different, the police appeared very serious and responsible, devoid of their previous evasion and excuses.

Nor was there any differential treatment because Ouyang Xing was a well-known businessman.

At that moment, he felt again the truth of the phrase “all are equal before the law.”

“Don’t just stand there, let’s go,” Shi Jian saw Ouyang Xiu in a daze and quickly reminded him.

Coming back to his senses, Ouyang Xiu then nodded and followed the policemen out.

It was then that he recalled Xiang Yu’s firm gaze, telling him to stay confident and to boldly try.

As they headed back towards the police station, Ouyang Xiu suddenly felt like Xiang Yu was omnipotent.

Although he didn’t know why the policemen had suddenly changed, he knew it definitely had something to do with Xiang Yu.

Ouyang Xing still harbored illusions as he entered the police station, believing he was a well-known businessman and that the public security authorities would protect him for the sake of local business and tax considerations.

He then let his secretary send some money over to the department leaders, believing that would solve everything, thinking this was merely a formality.

Unexpectedly for him, the squad leader was uncompromising, rejecting everything Ouyang Xing proposed.

Bribery was absolutely prohibited.

When Ouyang Xing’s secretary had trouble delivering the bribe, he began to panic, realizing the gravity of the situation, and immediately arranged for the best lawyer, preparing for a court trial.

Ouyang Xiu could hardly believe how easily he had brought down Ouyang Xing, giving him an unreal feeling.

“Shi Jian, is Ouyang Xing really locked up, and will he really be taken to court?” Ouyang Xiu asked in disbelief.

Only then did Shi Jian nod and smile, “You must trust Xiang Yu.

Since he asked you to come forward with the evidence now, there must be no problem.”

Ouyang Xiu then nodded, accepting the reality.

It seemed he had easily taken down Ouyang Xing, but Xiang Yu had made significant efforts, unbeknownst to him.

The case proceeded very quickly, much faster than expected.

Normally, someone like Ouyang Xing would have awaited trial for at least two weeks.

After all, it wasn’t a minor issue.

The public security authorities needed to conduct a thorough investigation and verification before it could be turned over to the court.

However, Shi Jian and the others had already done the preliminary work and submitted sufficient proof that Ouyang Xing was a thoroughly reprehensible villain, which saved the public security department a lot of effort.

There was another reason, as from the Director of the Public Security Bureau to the squad leader of this mission, they had all recently assumed their posts.

As the saying goes, a new officer takes charge with zeal, they all wanted to prove themselves and needed achievements.

And Ouyang Xing had just happened to cross their path, giving them the perfect opportunity to shine.

Eager to showcase their capabilities, they pushed all procedures forward as much as possible, and this matter had already been notified to the media.

They needed to publicize this case extensively.

Thus, the entire process took only two days.

In that time, the public security department had gathered all evidence and transferred the case to the court, awaiting the final judgment.

The court also cooperated; they hadn’t received such a major case in a while, so they were actively preparing and quickly notified Ouyang Xiu and the public security department that the trial was set to start soon…
