Chapter 468 Two Stubborn Leaders
Lu Yao could tell how Liu Hui felt just by looking at his red eyes and swollen eyelids.
They took him to the company commander's office.
Zhang Zongshan is making a phone call here.
Upon seeing Lu Yao, he quickly stood up.
In Zhang Zongshan's mind, he was just the deputy company commander, while Lu Yao was the real leader.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I need to say a few words to Liu Hui."
"Oh, you guys chat, I'm going to play poker with them."
As he walked out, he turned back at the door and asked:
"Company Commander Lu, when should our militia company start work?"
"If you don't have anything planned for the Lantern Festival, don't bother everyone. Come if you want, don't come if you don't. There are people on duty, that's enough."
"good!"
Zhang Zongshan went outside.
Lu Yao and Liu Hui sat down.
Liu Hui first told Lu Yao everything about meeting Lin Dong yesterday.
Of course, he was unaware that Mei Ping had sent someone to stage an assassination attempt on Lin Dong.
This refers to his conversation with Lin Dong. After finishing, he pleaded with Lu Yao:
"Company commander, you have to find a way to save my brother! He's stubborn and refuses to betray that Director Shi."
Lu Yao handed a cigarette to Liu Hui, whose eyes were brimming with tears.
"Don't get agitated, I'll do my best. Director Mei's target right now is Shi Shouyin. As long as your brother is willing to testify, we shouldn't be able to keep a close watch on him."
"But what if he refuses to listen? I remember a lot about my second brother; he was indeed very stubborn. I remember when I was little, I stole money from my father, and he thought it was him. He whipped my back with a rattan cane until it was covered in blood, but he still wouldn't admit that I took it."
Lu Yao patted Liu Hui on the shoulder, nodded, and said nothing.
He knew Lin Dong was loyal and righteous.
Lu Yao even understood Lin Dong's character better than Liu Hui.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help your brother. But don't tell anyone in the team about your relationship with Lin Dong. If anyone asks us what we said, just say you had some awkwardness with a family member."
Liu Hui idolized Lu Yao, believing that as long as Company Commander Lu agreed, there was basically nothing he couldn't accomplish.
Actually, Lu Yao wasn't sure about himself either.
It remains to be seen whether Lin Dong will be able to speak in the end.
Lin Dong knows almost all of Shi Shouyin's secrets. As long as he comes forward to testify, and Mei Ping gathers information based on what he says, it will be easy to bring Shi Shouyin to justice.
Whether or not the death penalty can be imposed depends on the extent of the historian's influence.
After Lu Yao and Liu Hui finished their conversation, Lu Yao got up to leave.
As soon as the door opened, a young woman rushed in like a gust of wind.
"Company Commander Lu, you've arrived!"
It's Liu Shuangyan.
Lu Yao asked her, "You haven't even started work yet, what are you doing here?"
Liu Shuangyan chuckled: "I'm here to talk to Company Commander Zhang and the others about the incident with the group from Xiangyang Commune that day."
"Why are you so annoying?"
"I later found out that those people were the brothers of the militia company commander of Xiangyang Commune. I was afraid they would retaliate against you, so I greeted Company Commander Zhang."
Liu Shuangyan meant well.
Speaking of this, Lu Yao remembered it.
Zuo Shouquan said he would detain Qi Mao and the others, but it's unclear whether that actually happened.
After exchanging a few words with Liu Shuangyan, he headed out.
Liu Shuangyan followed him all the way to the front gate.
If Lu Yao didn't chase her back, he could have followed her indefinitely.
After seeing Lu Yao rush off to the police station, Liu Shuangyan went back to her dormitory and played cards with the male militiamen.
Lu Yao arrived at the police station.
Zuo Shouquan is indeed still alive.
Upon seeing Lu Yao, he immediately stood up, looking very excited, and pulled him to his office:
"Xiao Lu, I just received a call from above. They're going to audit the accounts right after the New Year."
Lu Yao asked, "Do you still owe money?"
"No, I don't owe you anymore. Didn't you make up for it for me? I mean... without you, I really don't know what I would have done!"
Lu Yao smiled slightly: "We're all good friends, how could I stand by and not help you!"
Zuo Shouquan added, "By the way, Xiao Lu, I was planning to detain those guys from the Xiangyang Brigade, but Director Mei called me and told me to just pay a small fine as a token gesture. She said Minister Ju spoke to her on her behalf."
"What?"
Lu Yao thought to himself that Ju Zhenghua and Mei Ping were being unreasonable.
You're telling me about the person you're fighting with without even asking me first?
Zuo Shouquan explained, "Then Minister Ju also told me to explain to you. Although these guys are despicable, their brother is a meritorious person who went to Minister Ju for help, so it was awkward to refuse."
It turned out that Wang Changhai had gone to Ju Zhenghua's place.
He was a guerrilla leader before liberation, and he still had some influence.
Ju Zhenghua couldn't very well refuse outright.
So they helped find Mei Ping.
Mei Ping was Zuo Shouquan's immediate superior, so naturally she couldn't be detained with just a word.
Lu Yao couldn't help but retort, "This Sister Mei isn't entirely impartial either! Why aren't you on my side when the people who came to hit me are here?"
Zuo Shouquan quickly comforted her: "Director Mei also asked if you were injured or suffered any losses. I told her the truth, and she said to just impose a fine and not arrest anyone."
Lu Yao sighed inwardly: This is the result of making good friends.
In this respect, he's not as abnormal as Shi Shouyin.
Look, Lu Fa went and reported me; he got his ass ripped off.
Bring him back to me so I can handle it.
Look at Ju Zhenghua and Mei Ping, both so serious and stubborn!
There's no way around it; you can use bad people, but you can't get too close to them.
Although they were a bit foolish, they had sound values and wouldn't harm themselves.
If all officials were like Shi Shouyin, the country would be doomed.
If everyone were like Mei Ping, this country would have hope!
Although Lu Yao is a little selfish, he never loses sight of the greater good.
I understand the principle.
If they are truly bullied, they will not easily let others off the hook.
But I would never support myself bullying others.
However, Lu Yao was still a little unhappy.
After all, Wang Changhai's brothers were causing trouble for him, which showed that he had some ability. The members of Jiapigou commune were united and were not bullied.
Otherwise, they might have tried to extort money from us.
With a godfather and an older sister, they actually give face to outsiders, just like my mother, that housewife.
Wang Changhai, you went to Minister Ju but didn't come to me. Fine, you old bastard, don't fall into my hands again.
As soon as Lu Yao mentioned going to the city, Zuo Shouquan immediately took out the keys:
"I'll give you a ride; I need to take care of some things at the bureau."
Lu Yao could tell that he had come specifically to see him off.
Zuo Shouquan was genuinely grateful to himself for helping him settle the accounts.
"Okay, then I'll go to the rural power station first."
Sitting on Zuo Shouquan's sidecar motorcycle, it was cold, but it was really fast.
We arrived at the rural power station in no time.
Zuo Shouquan wanted to wait for Lu Yao outside, but Lu Yao didn't let him and let him go.
He entered the courtyard of the rural power station by himself.
Upon approaching the director, the director was very polite, considering that Shi Shouyin had brought Lu Yao there before, and quickly gave him the approval slip:
"Comrade Xiao Lu, take this note and go to the large courtyard on the east side. That's the construction team's place. Find Captain Lü and ask him to arrange for someone to go down there for you."
A blank piece of paper with a line of text on it and a signature.
It seems casual, but it's actually equivalent to a phone call later on.
At that time, people only recognized the approval slips from their superiors.
So he thanked him and went to the east courtyard.
A row of brick houses, with a long line of bicycles in front of them. Many of the bicycles have leather tool bags hanging on them, containing wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers and all sorts of tools.
They're probably all employees' vehicles.
Seeing that there were people in one of the rooms, Lu Yao went over.
No one answered the door when I knocked; it was noisy and disruptive inside.
I just opened the door and went inside.
The room was a complete mess of smoke and fumes.
