About half an hour after the fight ended, the Su family garbage dump was already crowded with people inside and outside.
The crowd watching the excitement, the workers of the Su family, more than 20 police officers from the Zhanan District Police Department, and dozens of firefighters from the Fire Department were all doing their own work in the yard.
Kong Zhenghui's car stopped at the entrance. He glanced at the situation in the courtyard and nodded at a large private media interview car following behind.
Five people got off the interview car, two photographers, two helpers, and a male host. They set up the equipment and began to record the situation inside and outside the factory with ease.
"At around 8:40 this evening, a vicious incident of vandalism and arson occurred at a garbage plant company in Zhanan District, Longcheng..." The male host began to record the material fluently with the camera.
…
Inside the garbage dump.
Su Tianbei was being questioned by the Police Department, and before that, Su Tianyu had already explained to him very clearly what he was going to say.
"How many people are there on the other side?" The police officer who asked the question was Captain Ermao who had been drinking with Lu Feng that day.
"There were probably 20 to 30 people, all armed with weapons, who smashed things as soon as they entered the factory, and even set fire to my company's warehouse..." Su Tianbei frowned and said, "We injured five workers, and they have been sent to the hospital."
"Are you sure it was the vandals who set the fire?" Ermao asked in disbelief.
"Officer, this is my own company. The fire was not set by them, so how could it be set by me?" Su Tianbei asked back with a frown.
"During the fight, did they say anything? After the fight, where did they run from?"
"They said that if the Su family's workers go on strike again, they will kill us. After this group of people smashed things, they jumped over the wall and ran away. I heard from the workers on duty that there was a car outside to pick them up." Su Tianbei replied.
"You have so many workers here, but you didn't catch any of the criminals, right?"
"We were all so scared at the time, how could we dare to fight back!" Su Tianbei responded fluently: "Most of the workers came later."
“Do you have surveillance here?”
"Yes, but we stopped working a few days ago and we just needed to change the system, so only the surveillance at the main entrance and several cargo areas are working." Su Tianbei replied.
…
While Tianbei was recording his statement, Su Tianyu had already stepped out of the yard and found his elder brother and Kong Zhenghui: "Brother!"
Su Tiannan turned around and said, "You didn't record your statement in the main building?"
"No, my second brother is recording." Su Tianyu put on his gentle glasses again, pointed at Kong Zhenghui and said, "I'll come over and say a few words to Brother Kong."
Kong Zhenghui had already seen from the last time he stabbed Lu Feng that Su Tianyu was not a good person, and he had a deep impression of him, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong, brother?"
"Brother Kong, I don't recommend asking public opinion to intervene now." Su Tianyu said bluntly.
"Why?" Kong Zhenghui didn't understand.
"The time is not right yet. We need to settle the backlog of cases in Changqing." Su Tianyu never said a word of nonsense when talking to outsiders.
Kong Zhenghui frowned: "Changqing is already in a mess now, is there any need to wait any longer?"
"My eldest brother is still talking to his connections at the police department," Su Tianyu whispered, "Let's wait a little longer."
Kong Zhenghui thought about it and said, "That's fine. Let me know when you can reveal the cards."
"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded.
Kong Zhenghui smiled, turned his head to look at the Su family's garbage dump, shook his head and said, "Lu Feng is really an idiot! You said you want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so just kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, why set fire? Now if we don't take the initiative to expose this matter, then tomorrow the people in Zhannan District will definitely know that Changqing Company dared to kill and burn in order to grab territory. Haha, this matter can't be concealed."
"Yes." Su Tianyu agreed, and immediately said: "Brother Kong, wait a moment, I want to talk to my elder brother."
"Okay!" Kong Zhenghui nodded.
The two brothers heard the sound and walked to the dimly lit wall. Su Tiannan took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, please make an appointment with Wang Daolin right now." Su Tianyu replied.
"What time is it now? Why do you want to meet him?"
"Listen to me, make an appointment now and give him the conditions directly." Su Tianyu leaned over to his eldest brother's ear and said clearly: "Just tell him that Lu Feng really wants to kill our family this time, and you are afraid, so..."
…
There is a small gambling den at the end of Fulin Street in Zhannan District. This place is dedicated to serving the poor. It is small in scale and poor in environment. The alleys around the entrance are full of urine smell. However, there are many gamblers who have trouble even eating. They come here to play cards all night long. If they have no money, they would rather watch the fun at the table than go home to sleep.
In a shabby security room on the second floor of the gambling den, Lu Feng sat on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You guys can be considered as people who use knives to make a living?! More than a dozen people went together, even if there was no fight, you shouldn't even know whether all your people have escaped or not?"
"Brother Feng, it was really chaotic at that time. There were more people on the other side and we were all stunned. We were all running towards the window and the corridor. We really didn't notice where Brother A Ming and the others were." A man with a knife wound that had not yet been stitched up, randomly blocked the wound with a whole pack of napkins, and replied pitifully.
"Waste!" Lu Feng cursed, picked up the phone and called Ermao, the police chief: "Hello, is it convenient to talk?"
After a while, Ermao finally responded, "It's convenient. I'm at the scene."
"Damn it, several of my brothers haven't come back yet! I called them just now, but they didn't answer. Are they being detained by the other party?" Lu Feng asked bluntly.
"I asked the Su family, and they said your brother smashed things, set fire, and then ran away?" Ermao replied in a low voice: "The people were not blocked at all."
"Bullshit! My people were beaten. As soon as they entered, they were blocked in the hall by the Su family. I suspect someone in the company leaked the information." Lu Feng asked again: "You scare the Su family and ask them if they have detained the person, and then deny it."
"Why am I asking this? I'm a public official of the Police Department, Brother Feng!" Ermao replied speechlessly, "But I've already warned Su Tianbei that if they keep him, it will definitely be considered illegal detention, so I think they shouldn't detain him. There's no point in doing so!"
Lu Feng was also confused: "That's strange, where are my brothers? It's impossible for them not to answer the phone after they finish their work!"
"Look for it again." Ermao stood outside the hall, turned his head and looked around and warned: "But I'm telling you, Brother Feng, this time you did something serious. Not only did you smash things, you also set fire. This is a garbage storage area. If a big fire breaks out, do you know what the consequences will be? Your brothers are too impulsive!"
Lu Feng got anxious when he heard this, and he stood up and cursed, "I'm not running a crematorium, why would I set a few fires? Someone is causing trouble."
Ermao was silent for two seconds, and did not argue. He only asked back: "Brother Feng, first there was a strike, then the workers were chopped, and today someone attacked the Su family's garbage dump and set it on fire. I can believe what you said, but... can others believe it? The root of this matter is not who set the fire, but your people rushed into the cargo yard, understand? The police department is also afraid of trouble!"
Lu Feng was speechless.
"I'll deal with the scene first and talk to you later." Ermao hung up the phone first.
Lu Feng gritted his teeth, put his hands on his waist and was thinking about what to do. At this moment, all the men in the house stood up, looked towards the stairs and shouted, "Big Brother!"
"Mr. Li!"
When Lu Feng turned around, he saw Li Hongze walking towards him with two people, with a very ugly look on his face.
"Brother!" Lu Feng shouted.
"What's wrong with you? How could you be counterattacked even though you were prepared? And why did you let people set the fire? Are you making the elixir?!" Li Hongze asked in a furious voice.
"It wasn't me who released it!!" Lu Feng's defense was instantly broken.
…
Around 11 o'clock at night.
Su Tiannan's car stopped in front of a popular Cantonese restaurant on Guangming Road in Zhannan District. He pushed open the door, straightened his clothes, and then said to the family member who was traveling with him, "Just wait in the car."
"Okay." The young man driving the car nodded.
Su Tiannan walked quickly into the Cantonese restaurant, went up the stairs to the third floor, and entered a private room. At this time, in an alley opposite the restaurant, a man wearing a peaked cap glanced at Su Tiannan's car.
In a private room on the third floor of the Cantonese restaurant, a man in his fifties, wearing a white shirt, said with his hands folded, "Xiao Nan, I heard about your factory. How is it? Is your family okay?"
The man who spoke was called Wang Daolin, a director of the Longcheng Police Department, who had real power, and he was a comrade-in-arms with Su Tiannan's father. Before Tianyu came back, the Su family had given him 50,000 yuan and asked him to help mediate the internal fighting of the dirty gang.
When Su Tiannan saw Wang Daolin, he said with a very serious expression: "Uncle, if you don't help me now, I might lose my life!"
Wang Daolin fell silent after hearing this.
"We went on strike to save my dad. It was a helpless move. But before we could see any effect, two workers were injured. As a result, the workers below were afraid to protest with us." Su Tiannan bent down and sat down. While pouring tea for Wang Daolin, he narrated softly, "Before we could even catch our breath, the factory was smashed and set on fire again. Five more workers in my family were injured. Uncle Wang, please help the Su family for my dad's sake!"
"I've said before that it's not my place to interfere in your family's affairs." Wang Daolin sighed, "Besides, it's hard for you to find any evidence against Changqing Company. I've suggested that you lose money to avoid disaster, but you didn't listen."
"I have evidence!" Su Tiannan suddenly said.
Wang Daolin was stunned for a moment: "What handle?"
"I can hand over the main thug who smashed the factory to you." Su Tiannan said, looking directly at the other party.
Wang Daolin looked at him in surprise and didn't respond.
"If I give you the man, Lu Feng will be speechless." Su Tiannan whispered, "The Kong family, the Liu family, and the Bai family will also work hard on the outside to hype this matter up. I believe that the top leaders of the police department must not want to see this kind of continuous negative public opinion, so as long as you work hard a little, Changqing Company will definitely give in and settle the matter, and my father will naturally be able to come out."
Wang Daolin placed his right hand on his leg and tapped his fingers. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head: "Xiao Nan, I'm afraid I can't do this."
"Uncle, as long as you are willing to take the lead and help us put some pressure on Changqing Company, I won't let you work in vain." Su Tiannan lowered his voice and said, "Neither will the other three companies."
Wang Daolin frowned when he heard the voice.
…
Inside the Su family factory.
The people from the Police Department were still investigating the scene, while Su Tianbei found an opportunity to go to the backyard of the main building, opened his car door, and reached under the seat.
When they were encircling Lufeng today, Su Tianbei brought a gun with him because he was afraid of any accidents. However, it was obviously useless at the moment, so he planned to take it away and hide it.
After putting his right hand under the seat, Su Tianbei froze in place.
The gun is gone!
