Chapter 42 - Power of public opinion

He gave Wang Ming a vicious look, but Wang Ming was already scared out of his wits. There were so many mainstream media outlets. The moment he was exposed, he would be finished.

Director Liu said to the reporters.

"I'm just a director, and have no right to express any opinions. I'm just here to handle a security case. Please move aside, we have matters to attend to so that we can return to the station."

Director Liu wanted to squeeze out from the crowd, but the reporters wouldn't let him leave.

"I heard that your police station is inclined to force the company down, is there any money deal with the people who force the company down?"

"Director, please give us an answer."

"Our interview was broadcast live all over the country. Please give the audience an explanation."

At that moment, the reporters rushed to ask their questions, the questions were extremely sensitive, and Director Liu was covered in cold sweat.

"If you don't, I'm going to arrest him."

Suddenly, Commissioner Liu shouted and the scene instantly quieted down.

"Why are you capturing him?"

At this moment, the oppressive voice of a man resounded.

Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice. They saw two white Prado official cars and a red Maserati.

The group of people walked towards Uncle Qin's house.

The leader was a burly, righteous, short-haired, middle-aged man with a stern expression. Beside the man was a young woman who was as beautiful as a fairy.

Behind the two of them were a dozen or so men in police uniforms or suits, and they all had dignified expressions on their faces.

"Director Wu?"

Seeing the newcomer, Director Liu's face immediately turned pale. He knew that his end had come.

Director Wu brought his men to Uncle Qin's door, staring straight at Director Liu, his eyes were filled with rage, as he asked solemnly.

"Director Liu, what qualifications do you have to capture these journalists? Are you representing the Jiang Prefecture's municipal government, or are you doing this personally? "

Director Wu was righteous and immediately lowered his head.

Just now, he had received a call from the leaders of the city committee, informing them that a mainstream reporter had come to Jiang Prefecture, and that the matter of the Jiangbei University's Urban-Rural Union had been exposed in various news forums, becoming a hot topic of discussion. It concerned the image of the Jiang Prefecture, the image of the government, and the leaders had requested him to handle this matter well and protect the reputation of the government.

Director Wu was also a little suspicious in his heart. Could it be that these reporters were also recruited by Chen Yao? Just who was this Chen Yao? His old leader personally called him to ask him to help.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Yao was no ordinary individual.

His thoughts only lasted for a moment before he spoke to the reporters.

"Everyone, good evening, let me introduce myself. I am the Deputy Chief of Personnel of the Jiangbei Public Security Bureau, as for the incident that occurred this afternoon, I was entrusted by the Party Secretary and the mayor to explain the situation. The Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda is also on the way here."

Wang Ming's brother, Wang Ming, was responsible for the renovation of the residential areas around the Jiangbei University. In the old district, Wang Ming was not able to unite the masses in an amicable manner. Instead, he used violence to forcefully demolish the residential areas.

"The city government has already removed Wang Jian's position as the deputy director of the city construction bureau, and has assigned it to the police to investigate other illegal acts. The contractor, Wang Ming, has been involved in many violent incidents and has already filed charges of underworld crimes against public security with the court. He will be apprehended immediately."

"The south district police station's chief, Liu Guang, colluded with the social personnel, committed serious dereliction of duty and received bribes, and is hereby dismissed from his post. Investigation shall be conducted in accordance with the law, and arrest him immediately."

Following Director Wu's order, the large hat police behind them took out handcuffs and captured Director Liu and Wang Ming.

"Good, good, good."

The surrounding commoners cheered passionately.

The surrounding video cameras focused on Director Wu's body, their flashlights flashing non-stop.

Because it was a live broadcast, millions upon millions of viewers in all the major forums and news media software began to cheer.

"The municipal government of Jiang Prefecture is an example to other regional governments."

"The Director Wu is the true police, the role model of the people."

"A bug like Liu Guang has finally received his retribution, and the boss of the company, Wang Ming, deserves it."

"Justice is in the world."

The forums erupted in applause.

The Leader of the Municipal Government sat in the meeting room, watching the scenes on the television and the reactions of the commoners. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

The Party Secretary even directly contacted the reporters at the scene, clearly showing the attitude of the city's government.

"All forced demolition companies must be banned in accordance with the law. The Municipal Committee will lead the establishment of a working group for the reconstruction of the southern district. The house demolition assistance must be paid in accordance with the relevant regulations of the State, and not a few commoners will be left without a single cent."

The Party Secretary's words made the citizens of the Southern District more at ease. The big forums cheered and cheered, and the Jiangbei City government got into trouble as well. Their working attitude and speed were acknowledged by the Provincial.

The media reporters were invited by the staff members who had rushed over from the city to the hotel to be entertained. The scene had finally calmed down quite a bit.

Wang Ming and Liu Guang were pushed into the police car.

The two of them looked deeply into Chen Yao's eyes. Their hearts were filled with regret. This time around, they had been blinded. To think that they had offended such a grand character.

When Bureau Chief Wu Wei appeared, Director Liu immediately understood in his heart that Chen Yao had not lied to him. He really did know Old Man Li from Lee's military Group, and their relationship was not simple, Director Wu was his trusted aide, and his identity as the Deputy Chief of the Public Security Bureau was not suitable for them to attend the scenes of media reporters. He must have received orders from Old Man Li to be able to come here before the city leaders, to help Chen Yao.

He had been tricked badly by Wang Ming this time.

Having lost his public office and was in front of the entire country, he was extremely agitated. He was furious after being escorted to the police car for a few minutes.

Wang Ming's complexion was extremely ugly, as if his father had just died. He had thought that his status was superior and had looked down on Chen Yao. However, Chen Yao's power was beyond his imagination. He had truly become blind this time around.

However, everything could not be repeated. He could only feel infinite regret in the iron prison.

"Hero, hero!"

If one were to say who the surrounding commoners were most grateful to? Of course, it was Chen Yao. If not for Chen Yao's confrontation with the demolition company today, not only would they not have gotten the Party Secretary's promise of compensation, they wouldn't even have been able to keep their own houses.

Although they were very grateful to the government and the Party for their impartiality and the people's support, at this moment, the first person they thanked was Chen Yao.

The neighbors, uncles and aunts, surrounded Chen Yao in the middle and continuously cheered.

Li Mengran who was at the side saw Chen Yao, who had a shy face amongst the crowd, his face flushed red.

It could be very heroic, but it could also be very grassroots.

In front of outsiders, he was a great hero who took charge of his own affairs. But in front of his family and friends, he was just a big boy.

A charming smile appeared on her lips, intoxicating.
