Chapter 429 Who says only those who are hurt can be victims?
Director Li's real name is Li Yuzhen, and he can be considered a typical example of a poor peasant who turned his life around and sang songs of triumph.
The Li family was more than three generations of poor farmers. In an era where being poor was considered glorious, their poverty was so extreme it was astonishing.
Of course, this poverty was not passive; rather, the whole family was just loafing around, gambling whenever they had money, and it was entirely their own doing.
In three generations, there has only been one person like Li Yuzhen who knew how to strive for success. He climbed to this position through sheer grit and determination.
He had considered that he had offended too many people and would eventually fall from grace, but he never imagined that he would be betrayed so badly by his own brothers.
The old Chinese mindset is that if one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs will benefit. Since he has reached this position, his family must be doing well too.
That's true, but the problem is that his brother isn't on the right path and he's not very bright.
Take this incident for example. The two thugs who were beaten had nothing to do with Director Li. The one who was involved was his half-brother, Li Yugang.
He indulged in all vices—eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and prostitution—and was a notorious gangster boss.
It just so happens that those two hooligans from Weinan County are Li Yugang's cronies.
That day, Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen had treated them so badly that it was only a matter of holding a grudge; they had genuinely considered finding someone to skin them alive, which is why they begged Li Yugang to use his connections.
Li Yugang knew that going directly to Director Li might not get things done and would likely result in a scolding. Thinking it wasn't a big deal, he used Director Li's name to contact the Revolutionary Committee and sent a telegram directly to the Public Security Bureau in Weinan.
And then, this is the situation we're in now.
Director Li never imagined that his path of tyranny would be completely cut short by such a trivial matter, by two thugs who had nothing to do with him.
After learning the whole story from Director Wang, he immediately coughed up blood.
This is disgusting!
This is nothing!
He didn't just want to strangle Li Yugang; he even wanted to have Li Yugang's biological father.
Director Wang felt sorry for him, but could he stand up for him and make a decision?
fart!
Even an upright person would hate Director Li to the core, so it's quite a show of civility for Director Wang not to applaud him.
He only hoped that when a corrupt leader like Director Li, whose negative influence was so overwhelming, was criticized and denounced, the deterrent effect would be greater.
Let those troublesome little devils shut up. Heaven is watching what people do, and retribution will come sooner or later.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that no one can speak up for this. It's reported directly to the central leadership. Do you think you need a lot of influence to pull some strings?"
Anyway, I don't have it, and I doubt you can find it anywhere in the whole province.
Director Wang spoke somewhat carelessly, ignoring Director Li—no, from now on we should call him Li Yuzhen.
No matter how much Li Yuzhen protests his innocence, he certainly had an influence on this matter. Besides, could he have committed only this one crime?
Check it out!
After spitting out blood, Li Yuzhen was very dejected. Since entering the police station, neither the male nor the beautiful female officer had ever appeared in front of him again, as if he was not worth their time.
"Are those two really that heartless?"
As soon as he realized he was doomed, he informed his backer. After all, many people, from top to bottom, benefited from what he had done. Not to mention those of lower status, why couldn't those of higher status say a word?
No matter how capable the people in the Central Special Branch are, can they escape the realm of human relationships?
"You're so smart, there's no way you can't see it now. That person is completely heartless. People like that are either stubborn and inflexible or have a natural advantage in their social status."
To tell you the truth, all three of them belong to the latter category!
Director Wang pointedly remarked to Li Yuzhen, and seeing the constant shifting of resentment, regret, and hatred on Li's face, he felt incredibly pleased.
See? Karma has come back to bite you; no one can stop it.
He never imagined he could speak so confidently in front of the renowned Director Li of the Revolutionary Committee; it was truly exhilarating.
The families of those who died innocently and those who were unjustly accused and sent to the countryside for criticism and struggle sessions finally got their revenge.
Even if he cannot be exonerated and his status restored now, as long as this vicious tiger is removed, it is a small step towards the light.
Thinking about it, Director Wang couldn't wait to write a few letters to his old friends to share the joy.
"Well, that's how this happened. Your brother has already confessed, so there's no misunderstanding. Don't worry."
Furthermore, I expect other things you've done will soon be exposed. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as it goes through the Public Security Bureau, I will never let you be wronged.
That's all for today.
After delivering his sarcastic remarks, Director Wang beckoned for someone to take Li Yuzhen away.
As for the other person's bloodshot, murderous expression, he just smiled and took it as pity for his final, impotent rage.
After all, that's all he's capable of right now.
Director Wang emerged from the interrogation room in a good mood and soon met Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen.
Chu Yunting went with the police to handle the matter.
He couldn't control his facial expression; he wanted to be serious but couldn't help but smile, which looked quite awkward.
Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen immediately knew what was going on with him, and both pretended not to see it.
Discussing deeds, one does not care about one’s heart, and no one is perfect when considering one’s heart.
Judge by intentions, not by deeds; judging by deeds, there are no good people.
There are no perfect good people. Not to mention Director Wang, even they themselves wouldn't dare say that their purpose in coming here specifically to cause trouble for Li Yuzhen was purely out of kindness.
Why demand others to meet saintly standards when you yourself can't even do it?
Moreover, saints and holy women often meet tragic ends.
"We hope Director Wang can see Li Yuzhen's case through to the end. We can't just leave and he's all gone. If that happens, we'll really have to have a serious talk with you."
Chu Xin spoke frankly.
Director Wang didn't actually figure out which of the three people had the most powerful connections, because his superiors called him shortly after he returned to the police station from the guesthouse.
"We must be pragmatic, handle cases diligently, conduct thorough investigations, and show absolutely no leniency!"
These words hit him like a ton of bricks, and for a moment Director Wang felt a sense of unreality.
However, it doesn't matter if he can't figure out their identities; as long as he treats them all the same, he can't go wrong.
So he answered the request from this woman, who seemed to only talk about food and a few meaningless words upon meeting him, very seriously.
"Of course. We not only need to give an explanation to you, the victim, but our superiors are also paying close attention to this matter. Absolutely no one will dare to shirk responsibility. Please rest assured, lady."
Chu Xin nodded noncommittally, not feeling anything was wrong with being called a victim. Who said that only the person who is hurt can be a victim?
