Zhang Yin and his group arrived quickly and left just as fast. Soon after, Xiao Yu and his team departed from there. When this convoy of military vehicles reached the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Xiao Yu said something to Zhang Yin before getting off.

Xiao Yu believed that after this incident, last night's events at West Lake could be considered concluded. As for Wang Wei, he would definitely be even more hesitant about acting recklessly once his family heard what had happened.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Yu hailed a taxi and headed toward West Lake.

Just as he was about to reach West Lake, his phone rang. When he picked up, he saw it was Wang Chengzhi calling. Xiao Yu answered and started chatting with him.

It turned out that what had just happened had spread among the high-level officials in Zhejiang Province. Wang Jun only learned after inquiries that Xiao Yu was the main figure involved in this incident.

The moment he found out it was Xiao Yu, his mind was instantly filled with surprise and uncertainty. He believed without a doubt how Xiao Yu met Zhang Yin at home. However, now, even that belief had been shaken. Just saving several soldiers could lead to such an intense operation by Zhang Yin against the Public Security Bureau This could jeopardize Wang Jun's career! Normally speaking, if it were as Xiao Yu said, Zhang Yin should have simply called and arranged for Xiao Yu’s release or asked Fang Yulong for help instead of directly leading troops to attack the Public Security Bureau.

After receiving this news, he was also informed by the provincial authorities that an emergency standing committee meeting needed to be held. Therefore, before heading off to the meeting, Wang Jun called Wang Chengzhi and asked him to check on Xiao Yu’s situation.

In the phone call, Wang Chengzhi was very worried about Xiao Yu because he knew how corrupt the Public Security Bureau could be; he feared that Xiao Yu might suffer losses there. He actually had some understanding of Wu Ting too, knowing him as a young noble who relied on family power and would exact petty revenge.

When Wang Chengzhi learned that Xiao Yu was unharmed, he finally put his mind at ease; however, he immediately followed up by asking how Xiao Yu managed to get the riot control squad to help him

Xiao Yu had anticipated such a question since he called in the riot control squad. When Wang Chengzhi asked, Xiao Yu told him that he had saved an elder of Zhang Yin’s family.

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhi immediately understood. The elder whom Xiao Yu saved must be someone very important to Zhang Yin; otherwise, Zhang Yin would not risk his career for a joke.

Wang Chengzhi then inquired after Xiao Yu and hung up the phone.

The provincial committee and government of Zhejiang were buzzing with people speculating about recent events, which had become common knowledge. Regardless of their status—whether high-ranking officials or ordinary citizens—they all had a penchant for gossip. The news that the governor's son had been beaten up was also circulating.

These individuals occasionally speculated about Xiao Yu’s background. Not only did he orchestrate an attack on the public security bureau, but his actions even led to the beating of Governor Wu's son. It was well known how protective Governor Wu was of his children; one could only wonder how he would handle this situation.

The staff members stationed at the provincial committee and government building were quietly discussing the matter when a black Audi suddenly pulled up in front of the building.

Upon seeing the car, those who had been whispering immediately fell silent and stood respectfully.

After the car came to a stop, a man in his thirties exited from the passenger seat. He promptly walked to the rear door, opened it, and allowed someone inside to exit.

The person stepping out was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Though not tall, he was somewhat stout with slightly balding hair and wore gold-rimmed glasses. This middle-aged man was Deputy Governor Wu Jianset.

Recently, Deputy Governor Wu had been feeling optimistic about his prospects for the governor's position, which seemed within reach. On a previous trip to Beijing, an elder leader—a vice-premier who was soon to retire—had promised to support him in obtaining this post, viewing it as one of the last favors he could offer before stepping down.

Today, however, his confidant had asked him to inspect the Provincial Construction Department. To reassure these trusted aides, Deputy Governor Wu decided to visit the department himself. While there, he received a call from Huang Hao.

Huang Hao informed him of what had transpired at the public security bureau earlier and that his son was now on his way to the hospital after being injured.

Upon hearing this news, Deputy Governor Wu’s anger flared. Since childhood, he had been indulgent towards his son; how could he not be furious upon learning that his son had been assaulted

As a result, he immediately phoned the provincial party secretary and governor to report on the incident of besieging the public security bureau, which disregarded party leadership and amounted to an attack on national law enforcement agencies—a form of rebellion.

In fact, both the provincial governor and party secretary had already been informed about this matter. Only they knew the background of Zhang Yin in detail; thus, upon receiving Deputy Governor Wu's call, they could only chuckle inwardly while thinking, "Who did your son have to offend but him"

Nonetheless, Zhang Yin’s identity remained a secret that no one dared disclose. Consequently, after receiving Deputy Governor Wu's phone call, an emergency standing committee meeting was convened.

Although they were aware of Zhang Yin's identity, when it was necessary to report upwards, they had no choice but to do so. Although they knew that this would be futile, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. Otherwise, if the Provincial Public Security Department was besieged and they did not say a word, how could officials from Zhejiang Province look at them in the future

"Governor Wu!!" Seeing Wu Jian she walked over, those standing by the door called out to him.

Wu Jian's expression was very ugly now. Normally, when he heard these people greet him, he would nod at them, but now it seemed that Wu Jian had not seen them at all; with a gloomy look on his face, he headed towards the conference room.

About half an hour later, all of the standing committee members arrived.

Less than two minutes after they had all gathered, Governor Wang Zhengzhi walked in. Following closely behind him was a man in his forties holding a cup of tea. The young man placed the cup on Governor Wang's seat and then left.

Right after Wang sat down, an approximately sixty-year-old middle-aged man entered. This person was Secretary Yuan Shaoguo, the Provincial Party Secretary of Zhejiang Province.

This ad hoc Standing Committee meeting commenced under Yuan Shaoguo’s chairmanship.

"Cough, comrades! Today, something happened in our province that you all are probably aware of. We need to discuss how to handle this matter today!" After sitting down and clearing his throat, Secretary Yuan glanced at the standing committee members before speaking.

Upon hearing what Yuan Shaoguo said, these standing committee members looked at their cups of tea as if trying to read something from them but remained silent, none of them spoke up.

Zhang Yin, as the captain of the Riot Control Unit, must have had his reasons for acting so boldly. These people were all shrewd individuals who wouldn't be the first to speak up.

Wang Jun looked at these people and then picked up a pen to start scribbling on his notebook.

"I think we must deal with this matter seriously, otherwise Zhang Yin will become emboldened. Today he besieged the Provincial Public Security Department; tomorrow who knows where else he might attack Zhang Yin is like a time bomb planted in our Zhejiang Province; one day, he might even besiege the provincial party committee and government buildings. When that happens, won't our province be infamous nationwide"

Wu Jian sat on the table; seeing these people remaining silent one after another, he had no choice but to speak up.

It's fine if others don't speak up, but this matter is damaging the reputation of Zhejiang Province and has little to do with them. But it’s different for him; his son is at the center of this incident, and his son was severely injured, so he can’t just let it go.

As for Zhang Yin, he doesn't know him personally, only knowing that he's a major general. To be honest, he hasn't given much thought to a mere major general. If not for the fact that Zhang Yin isn't under local jurisdiction, he would definitely make life difficult for Zhang Yin.

After hearing Wu Jianset speak up, these standing committee members finally looked away from their cups as if wax figurines had suddenly come alive.

"Heh heh, I think we should deliberate on this matter carefully. After all, Zhang Yin wouldn't arbitrarily besiege the Public Security Department without any reason, right Everything has a cause and effect."

After hearing Wu Jianset's words, Wang Jun lifted his head, chuckled lightly, and said before continuing to look at the cup in front of him.

"Right, Secretary Wang is spot on. We need to get to the root of everything!" The moment Wang Jun finished speaking, the provincial standing vice-secretary, Miao Jinshui, nodded his head in agreement.

Wang Jun and Miao Jinshan are allies; hence, after Wang Jun spoke up, no matter what he had to support him. Besides, he wasn't from the same faction as Wu Jianset anyway.

"I think we should thoroughly investigate this. Otherwise, where do you expect Zhejiang Province's face to be saved Regardless of the reasons behind it, fully armed people besieging our provincial law enforcement agencies is wrong. If this continues, how can we carry out work in Zhejiang Province How will other provinces view us"

After Miao Jinshui finished speaking, the provincial propaganda minister, Chu Yunshan, took over and said.

Indeed, he and Wu Jianset are from the same faction. Hearing that Miao Jinshui was supporting Wang Jun, he stood up to speak as well.

After his words fell silent, no one else spoke up.

To note, Zhejiang Province is among the wealthiest in China with a very complex political landscape. The largest factions are those of the provincial party secretary and the governor. As Governor Wang Zhengzhi was about to leave office soon, he knew Zhang Yin's true identity so naturally wouldn't speak up.

Yuan Shaoguo also remained silent because as the provincial party secretary, many matters required his cooperation with Zhang Yin. Thus, the central authorities had informed him of Zhang Yin’s true identity; hence, he was most knowledgeable about it and its responsibilities and rights. Even Governor Wang Zhengzhi didn’t know as much as Yuan Shaoguo did. Because he knew so well, he wouldn't speak.

With these two remaining silent, their allies naturally remained quiet too.taneously in another office; the expression on that person’s face mirrored Deputy Director Gu's almost identically."Let's go and take a look!" After some time, Deputy Director Gu finally reacted and s...
