PDLP Chapter 216 is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
Chapter 216 is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
It's gotten to the point where dogs are fighting each other.
Zhou Xiangzhang had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later.
Earlier, he even dared to threaten Chen Tiecai and his son, saying that if they didn't protect Zhou Dongliang, he would confront the disciplinary committee and everyone would suffer.
Now, it's clear that his son was in the wrong; he has no grounds for argument and his position is untenable.
Even if he turns himself in and exposes Chen Tiecai and the others, it won't change anything; on the contrary, his family will suffer an even worse fate.
"I've been with your father for so many years."
They were more like brothers than superiors and subordinates.
I will handle my own problems.
It won't involve anyone.
I told your father about this more than ten years ago.
Zhou Xiangzhang hung up the phone.
I called the driver and went home.
As Zhou Xiangzhang passed by the internal road in front of the villa, he saw police cars parked on the side of the road and police officers lying in ambush all around.
When the deputy director saw Zhou Xiangzhang return, he immediately reported to Zheng Zhiguo.
"Let them come back. We're just enforcing the law. Who dares to stop us?"
"What if Zhou Xiangzhang resists?"
Zheng Zhiguo paused for a moment: "If there is resistance, fire warning shots. If three warnings are ignored, then take force."
"Take force against Secretary Xiangzhang?" The deputy director swallowed hard to confirm.
"There's no camphor tree secretary here, only criminal suspects. Anyone who obstructs our arrest or hinders law enforcement will be dealt with according to the law!"
"Yes……"
Zheng Zhiguo rode his motorcycle towards the villa area.
He hadn't expected Zhou Xiangzhang to come home at this crucial moment.
After thinking it over, I parked my motorcycle on the side of the road and called County Chief Chen to ask for instructions.
After hearing the situation, Dawei tapped his fingers back and forth on the table, pondering for a long time.
"You can continue with your work as usual."
Arrest them!
Our procedures are legal and compliant. Even if we go to Kyoto, even if we are subjected to a three-way trial, no one can do anything to us.
As for Zhou Xiangzhang...
I think he won't defy the law.
Although he was a scoundrel, he had been in officialdom for so many years and still had some basic understanding.
Violent resistance to the law is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
……
Zhou Xiangzhang returned home and told the county driver to go back first. He then went alone to Zhou Dongliang's room on the second floor.
The door to the master bedroom across the hall opened, and his wife came out, looking at Zhou Xiangzhang with a worried expression.
"Have you eaten camphor trees yet?"
Facing his wife, with whom he had shared many years of ups and downs, Zhou Xiangzhang felt a pang of guilt.
Although his wife was getting old and losing her looks, she had never wronged the family or cheated on him. Zhou Dongliang's downfall cannot be blamed solely on his wife.
He now realizes that the only ones who truly want the best for him are his wife and children.
When disaster strikes, only his family can stay by his side.
As for Lin Taoying, she said she went to Qinghe City to deal with the post, but she hasn't said a word since. It seems she heard something and went into hiding.
"I've eaten. You...you go back to your room now. No matter what you hear or see later, don't come out, understand?"
His wife, holding onto the door, looked at Zhou Xiangzhang with a worried expression: "What happened?"
"Ah Dong has committed a crime, and he can't escape this time. There are dozens of police officers outside."
"..." His wife swayed, leaning against the doorframe, pressing her hand to her chest, so anxious she could hardly breathe and almost fainted: "Why...why did this happen..."
Zhou Xiangzhang took a step forward and whispered, "I've done my best."
There's really no other way; I can't save him anymore. Just cooperate.
Let's not argue or make a scene.
This is good for Ah Dong.
Don't come out for a while, otherwise Ah Dong will feel even worse when he sees you, and he might do something stupid in a fit of anger.
I'll talk to him alone.
His wife was crying uncontrollably, unable to speak.
Zhou Xiangzhang went over and took her hand, her heart heavy: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you."
His wife suddenly hugged him and began to sob softly.
After crying for nearly a minute, Zhou Xiangzhang pushed her away.
"Come inside."
Mayor Chen agreed and will help us with the process.
Ah Dong will definitely suffer some hardship this time, but he won't lose his life.
Don't worry, I'll be able to get him out in three to five years at most.
At this time, Zhou Dongliang had finished lunch and gone upstairs to sleep; he was still fast asleep.
Zhou Xiangzhang opened his room door.
Previously, I was disappointed in him because he was not living up to his potential.
But they are father and son after all.
Seeing her son sleeping soundly, Zhou Xiangzhang felt even more distressed.
The child does not teach, the father too.
Zhou Xiangzhang knows she can't escape responsibility for Zhou Dongliang's current situation.
"Ah Dong, Ah Dong!"
He woke his son up.
"What?" Zhou Dongliang rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Get up and put on your clothes, Dad has something to say."
Zhou Dongliang seemed to sense something, and this time he obediently got up and sat down at the desk.
"This place is now surrounded by police."
"Wh-what..." Zhou Dongliang's expression suddenly changed.
"That girl named Xiuxiu has confessed."
Zhou Dongliang's eyes darted around quickly: "Damn it, we should kill him."
"Son, Dad did his best."
You're going to suffer this time.
When you get to the police station, don't say anything out of line, and don't involve Uncle Chen's family.
Chen Wei is not someone to be trifled with.
We'll find a way to get you out as soon as possible.
Do you understand?
Zhou Dongliang started to get scared and grabbed his father's hand: "Dad, I don't want to go to jail."
Tears welled up in Zhou Xiangzhang's eyes as she nodded to her son, "Dad knows, there's nothing we can do."
"Dad, save me, Dad!" Zhou Dongliang cried out in desperation.
Zhou Xiangzhang wiped away her tears, grabbed her son's hand and shook it hard, looking into his eyes very seriously and calmly.
Don't panic!
Listen to me.
You must remember everything I am about to say.
Don't respond to a single word about the three Southeast Asian assassins or the cripple.
We'll only talk about Xiuxiu.
They have no evidence for other matters, so they can't do anything to you.
No matter what they ask, just say you don't know.
Just because of Xiuxiu, she won't be sentenced to death.
First, save your life; then we can deal with the rest later.
"You're my only son, and I would never abandon you."
Zhou Dongliang hugged the old man, shouted "Dad!" and started sobbing.
Zheng Zhiguo's motorcycle pulled up in front of the villa.
He was followed by a large group of police officers.
Zheng Zhiguo pounded on the large iron gate of the villa's courtyard.
On the second floor, Zhou Xiangzhang pressed the remote control, and the door opened.
Zheng Zhiguo led his team in and strode in, going straight up to the second floor.
Zhou Xiangzhang opened her son's bedroom door and pulled him out.
Director Zheng immediately produced an arrest warrant.
"Zhou Dongliang, you're under arrest."
With a wave of his hand.
The police officers grabbed Zhou Dongliang from both sides, causing his legs to buckle and his body to nearly slip to the ground. He was carried down the stairs by the police.
Zheng Zhiguo glanced at Zhou Xiangzhang and, seeing that he did not stop him, immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
After Zhou Dongliang was dragged into the car.
From the master bedroom on the second floor, Zhou Xiangzhang's wife rushed out and, facing the courtyard, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Son!"
