Chapter 755: Who in the world are you? (Part Two)
Within a few steps, he turned back and handed Li Chao a cigarette.
“Kid, don’t be so reckless next time. A lot of things are very sensitive, you know?”
Li Chao accepted the cigarette with sincerity and said, “Yes, I know. I just couldn’t stand the arrogance of these people this time. I was influenced by my teacher so I’m a little straightforward, but I’m only like this with the cases and it’s nothing personal.”
The higher-up nodded and walked away.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce as well as the vice president were sitting in a limousine on their way to the provincial headquarters. They were heading there to discuss with the top director regarding Shangcheng’s East Gate riverside development project.
Of course, they could also be considered as being on their way to apply pressure.
However, before the two of them arrived, Director General Huang had met with the Head Director in his office.
“About Liu Xianming’s arrest, the Shangcheng police department’s decision was based on conclusive evidence.”
The Head Director who was reviewing the document raised his head and stroked his temple before looking at his subordinate.
“What do you think about this?”
Director General Huang: “I respect their decision and I took a look at it. All the procedures and everything were fine.”
The Head Director took off his glasses and stopped reviewing the document as he packed up and said, “Do you know who’s responsible for the Riverside development project? It’s the group of people behind Liu Xianming, the largest Chamber of Commerce here, ranked top two in the country. Its financial influence is no less than that of a small consortium, just different in nature. I sent you there to ease the tension between the two sides, so how did you manage to intensify the conflict and also confirm that he’s guilty?”
Director General Huang: “I have inquired about it and this case with Mr. Liu has been transferred to Yanjing.”
“Oh?” The Head Director furrowed his brows as everything about Yanjing was quite sensitive. “Which unit was it transferred to?”
Director General Huang came over and whispered: “It’s been sealed as a red-state document. Which means that aside from Yanjing, no other regional police department would be allowed to touch this case, including us.”
His eyes contracted for a moment and immediately got alerted.
“That’s a very serious matter then.” He frowned.
“Although we may lose a big project, this is really not something we can interfere with,” Director General Huang advised.
“Yeah.” He knew what was going on right away. “Your reminder is very timely. Fortunately I have not favored any side on this matter, or else it’d be bad. Seems like the project has to be terminated now.”
If he insisted on releasing Liu Xianming in this case, then he could just wait to be laid off.
“I think so too.” Director General Huang agreed.
That was when the secretary walked in and said, “The president and vice president of the Shangcheng Chamber of Commerce are outside requesting to meet with you.”
They two looked at each other in the eye and the Head Director said, “Just tell them I’m not in the office.”
The secretary: “Yes.”
Meanwhile, Wang Tian and the VP who had just arrived were told by the secretary that the Head Director was not in office.
The two wondered, “Secretary Li, didn’t we book an appointment?”
“It was a temporary decision.”
The two presidents immediately could tell something was wrong, and this sudden change of attitude was quite meaningful.
Plus, Liu Xianming was officially arrested, so they felt that maybe he had already confessed something he shouldn’t have!
Ran Jing’s home.
She asked Xu Cheng to come visit, and once he arrived, she asked him directly, “Who in the world are you? What did you do to make both my direct superior and even the provincial head keep quiet about this case?”
