After Wen Xinya and her group left, Director Li called Wang Hanjie to his office and said, "I won't make things difficult for you today. Please submit your resignation report tomorrow!"
Wang Hanjie's legs went limp, and it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant. He widened his eyes in astonishment, "Chief, even if I didn't follow the normal procedure to bring Wen Xinya to the police for questioning, at most I would only be punished once. Why did you let me leave the police station?"
Director Li looked at him with sympathy and pity: "I don't want to do this either, but who made you offend Wen Xinya? Who is she? Not to mention the Wen family's wealth and power, even I have to think twice. Even if it's just Mr. Mo's words, I have to bow and serve him. Not to mention that there is such a person behind her. Even the Chief Superintendent dare not challenge her. Who do you think you are? Are you more powerful than the leader of the country?"
"Can't you just demote him?" Wang Hanjie's face was gloomy. He had not received much education, and everything he had today was obtained for him by his brother-in-law Jiang Wenzhe using his connections. The idea that the people should not fight against the officials was ingrained in his bones.
In his eyes, the Wen family was just a businessman. How could they be more important than his brother-in-law? And Mr. Mo was just a useless scholar. Even if he was famous, what good could he be
So when his niece Jiang Yuqian proposed to deal with Wen Xinya, he cooperated so actively, but he didn't expect that he was so wrong.
"Demote?" Chief Li said as if he had heard a huge joke: "Didn't you hear that this matter has already alerted the Chief Superintendent? Do you think a demotion will solve the problem?"
Wang Hanjie's hopes were dashed. He looked anxious and panicked, with sweat on his forehead. "If I can't be demoted, what about a transfer? As long as I don't stay in the capital, it should be fine to be transferred to another place!"
Director Li looked at him with disdain and said, "How can such a good thing happen in this world? You offended someone you shouldn't have offended, and you can still get away with it. You are too naive! Wen Xinya is clearly going to investigate. Once her lawyers take action, it won't be as simple as resigning. If you don't want to be sued, just obey."
Wang Hanjie staggered a step, his legs softened, and he knelt in front of Director Li, begging with snot and tears on his face: "Director Li, please save me! After all, I have followed you for so many years, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
Seeing Wang Hanjie kneeling in front of him, he didn't even move his eyelids. When he was young, he also worked his way up from a small police officer to where he is today. In his life, countless people have knelt down before him. With so much experience, he is naturally numb. Besides... he is about to retire, and he can't ruin his hard work for half a lifetime because of a momentary weakness.
Wang Hanjie hugged his thighs and cried and begged: "Chief Li, you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu. Please say a few good words for me and don't let me leave the police station. I have no objection to being demoted or transferred."
Although he had not received much education, he still understood the principle of "there is always hope". With his brother-in-law's connections, he would make a comeback sooner or later. However, if he left the police station, he would never have a chance to turn things around.
Director Li sneered, "Do you think I don't know that you have been coveting my position for a long time? You want to take advantage of my upcoming retirement to please your niece and speak well of you in front of Jiang Wenzhe, so that Jiang Wenzhe can get you my position."
Wang Hanjie's eyes widened and his crying stopped abruptly. His face was covered with snot and tears, making him look particularly miserable. He looked at Director Li with a piercing coldness in his eyes and for a moment he didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Director Li looked at him mockingly and said, "How capable do you think Jiang Wenzhe is? It's okay for him to exercise for a small district director, but he doesn't have the ability to be a district director."
Wang Hanjie's face turned pale and blue, and he felt ashamed and angry. He subconsciously explained, "Director, you misunderstood. I don't have such an idea."
Director Li sneered, "You know whether you have such thoughts or not. If you are smart, just submit your resignation. That way I can report to the higher-ups and you won't get into trouble."
Wang Hanjie looked at Director Li in disbelief and said, "Director Li, is it... is it that the higher-ups asked me to resign?"
You still can't see the situation clearly, what a fool. Director Li said with disdain: "Will the higher-ups care about a small character like you? There are thousands of ways for them to expel you. You have been the district director for so many years, and you have done a lot of illegal things. It only takes one way to send you to prison. I just gave you a more respectable way out because I thought you were my subordinate."
Wang Hanjie's body went limp and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Director Li sneered, walked past him, and left the office.
After Director Li left, Wang Hanjie sat on the ground in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time!
The coldness from the floor penetrated into his body, and a bone-chilling feeling made him shudder. Only then did he react, and hurriedly took out his cell phone and dialed Jiang Yuqian.
Jiang Yuqian's aggressive voice came from the phone: "Didn't you say that Wen Xinya would definitely be charged with kidnapping this time, and even if she got away, her reputation would be ruined? Why is she fine now?"
"Didn't you see what happened before? If Director Li hadn't intervened, how could Wen Xinya have gotten away so easily..." Wang Hanjie felt resentful. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Thinking of Jiang Yuqian's arrogant expression and domineering attitude towards him on weekdays, he felt annoyed, but thinking that he needed her help, he had to soften his tone.
Jiang Yuqian interrupted him sharply and said, "In the end, you are useless. My dad tried his best to promote you, but you are useless like a waste. You are still hanging around as the district director and can't even handle a small matter. I tell you, don't even think about asking me to say anything good about you in front of my dad."
Wang Hanjie quickly flattered him: "Yuqian, please don't be like this. Can you help your uncle again for your mother's sake? Director Li wants to kick me out of the police station. If I leave the police station, my brother-in-law will have one less person to do things for me in the future..."
Ning Shuqian interrupted him again with a sharp voice: "My mother has been dead for who knows how many years, why are you mentioning her? Besides, you have no blood relationship with my mother, you are just a burden brought here. My father has taken good care of you all these years for my mother's sake, what else do you want?"
Then the phone was hung up. He called again, but was told that the phone was turned off.
He called Jiang Wenzhe's secretary again.
The phone was quickly picked up: "Hello, Mr. Wang! Mr. Jiang asked you not to call him again."
The hang-up tone of "beep, beep..." kept ringing in his ears. Only then did he realize that he was really finished this time.
