Chapter 60: The Unlucky Bald Director
Li Gang had risen to the rank of deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Division for a reason—he was a shrewd man. With just a single glance, he understood exactly what Li Yi meant.
He pushed through the crowd, walked up to Li Yi, and said, “Comrade, what kind of report do you wish to file?”
“Officer, I want to report them for class discrimination, looking down on ordinary people, and humiliating others.”
Li Yi continued, “Furthermore, I’m reporting these two for engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct. What that woman just said proves it—everyone here can vouch for me!”
The bald director was now panicking, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
“Officer, it’s a misunderstanding—it’s all a misunderstanding…”
However, Li Gang didn’t give him a chance to explain or make excuses. He said in a deep voice, “Shut up! I’m not asking you anything right now!” dxmbang
Shouted at like that by Li Gang, the bald director shuddered and dared not speak another word.
At that moment, Li Gang turned to Li Yi again and said, “Comrade, could you tell us the specifics of the situation?”
“Certainly. We’re just ordinary farmers from the countryside. We were thinking…”
Li Yi immediately recounted everything that had just happened in minute detail, neither embellishing the story nor evading the issues; he simply repeated the sequence of events as they had occurred.
Whether it was Wang Guoguang standing nearby or the other villagers, everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Li Yi’s words.
They thought to themselves, “This young man is impressive; he speaks with great fairness.”
Li Gang now understood what had happened. He glanced at Wang Guoguang standing nearby; seeing the old man give a subtle nod, he knew that everything Li Yi had said was true.
Immediately, he walked up to the bald director with a stern expression and said, “Please come with me.”
“Officer, this… I…”
Li Gang ignored him and instead addressed the several subordinates behind him: “Take them back to the station, and call their immediate superiors to report this!”
“Yes, sir!”
Now Director Gu Tongfu and Zhou Fengmei were both stunned. They never would have imagined that a simple verbal altercation would land them in the police station.
Being taken to the station wasn’t the scary part—what was terrifying were the potential repercussions!
Although this trivial matter wouldn’t land them in prison, it would have a major impact on their careers. After all, as the police officer had just said, the first step was to notify their superiors.
It was easy to imagine that next, their families—and even the Commission for Discipline Inspection—would be notified.
After all this turmoil, they might not even be able to keep their government jobs!
At this thought, Gu Tongfu shot Zhou Fengmei a look filled with resentment. It was all because of this stupid woman. Why couldn’t she just stick to selling her goods? Why did she have to pick fights and hurl insults at everyone day in and day out!
Now look at this—she’s not only ruined herself, but dragged me down with her!
But with things having come to this, there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that this stupid woman would keep her mouth shut—and not blab everything out once she got to the police station!
If that happened, it might not end with just being fired from public office!
…….
Leaving aside the two of them being led away with such pitiful expressions, back at the supply and marketing cooperative, after issuing his orders, Li Gang approached Wang Guoguang and said cautiously, “Uncle Wang!”
Wang Guoguang glanced at him, nodded, and said, “Not bad. You’re starting to look the part of a People’s Public Security officer. It seems those years in the army weren’t wasted!”
Li Gang gave an awkward smile and said, “Uncle Wang, weren’t you hospitalized a few days ago? How are you feeling now?”
“I’m all better now. Nothing serious!”
“That’s good to hear. My dad mentioned just the other day that he wanted to visit you, but right after he said that, he was sent on a business trip to the provincial capital!”
“Hahaha, tell him not to worry about such trivial matters—work comes first!”
At that moment, Li Yi smiled and asked, “Do you two know each other?”
Li Gang smiled and said, “Our families are neighbors. My dad and Uncle Wang have been close friends for decades!”
Hearing this, Li Yi was secretly surprised. It seemed this young man’s family background wasn’t half bad either.
After all, if his family has a long-standing friendship with the county Party secretary’s family, his own family must be well-connected too.
That’s just how social circles work—people within the same circle are generally on a similar level.
It’s rare for a billionaire to have a lifelong friendship with someone earning a monthly salary of three thousand yuan—though this isn’t an absolute rule, it’s generally the case.
Old Man Wang then turned to Li Gang and said, “If you’ve got nothing else to do, go about your business. I’d like to have a word with this young man!”
Li Gang didn’t think much of it and replied, “Uncle Wang, after all, this comrade filed the report today. According to procedure, we should take his statement… What do you think?”
In truth, taking a statement was one thing, but what was more important was that Li Gang wanted to have a proper chat with Li Yi.
But he didn’t dare say that outright, fearing that Uncle Wang Guoguang—who was notoriously curious—might probe further, and then he’d really have a hard time explaining himself.
He certainly couldn’t say he was talking to him because the guy had called him a “short-lived ghost”!
If he did that, Li Gang could easily imagine his uncle giving him a good scolding.
Li Yi replied immediately, “As for the statement, I’ll come to your station this afternoon after I’m done with my work. Does that work for you?”
“Sure, I’ll wait for you at the station!”
“Sure!”
After Li Gang left, Old Master Wang stepped forward and said, “You really gave me a hard time trying to find you, you rascal!”
Li Yi smiled and replied, “It’s just that when I saw you were out of danger the other day, I didn’t want to bother you. And after I found out who you really were, I certainly didn’t dare to come back!”
“You’re my savior, old man. What’s there to be afraid of?” Wang Guoguang frowned.
“Hahaha, it’s not about you—I was worried people might say I was exploiting your kindness for personal gain. After all, who knows how many people are trying to curry favor with your son through you!” Li Yi replied honestly.
Wang Guoguang chuckled. “You’re a sharp one, you are. But young people should show a bit more ambition. Why overthink things like that? You’re acting just like an old man!”
“Maybe I’m overthinking it, or maybe you’re just more laid-back. I’ll come visit you when I have time!”
“I’ll take you at your word!”
“Alright, alright. Once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll definitely come visit you in person…”
Just then, Wang Guoguang turned to Li Na standing nearby and said, “Young lady, I don’t quite trust this kid. Promise your uncle that when you’re not so busy, you’ll come over to my place for a visit. My name is Wang Guoguang, and I live in the staff housing complex at the glass factory!”
Li Na knew exactly who this old man was, so she hurriedly replied, “Sure, once things calm down, I’ll bring him over. I promise!”
“That’s great! You two look pretty busy, so I won’t keep you any longer. See you later!” Wang Guoguang said.
“See you later, take care!”
“Mm-hmm!”
