Chapter 1465 - 1465
After lunch, Liu Zhizhong and the others took a short rest and then went to the hospital to visit the injured staff from the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Of course, regarding this matter, Liu Zhizhong agreed with the Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department that there was no need for any publicity, and hence no photos or anything of the sort would be taken.
However, a total of eight staff members had suffered varying degrees of injuries, with broken legs or arms, and one had internal organ injuries and remained in the ICU after surgery. His condition was unclear, and it was uncertain if he would pull through.
Liu Zhizhong was very angry but strongly restrained himself, comforting the injured, and assuring them that their suffering would not be in vain.
Naturally, he also learned that the Daxi City Public Security Bureau had already sent people to investigate the case and completed the necessary records.
Xu Xiao'an handled it in a very meticulous and careful manner, which Liu Zhizhong recognized and appreciated.
Later, on his way back to the Environmental Protection Bureau, Liu Zhizhong received a call from Xu Xiao'an, who reported that all the suspects involved in the case had been captured. Sixteen security guards from the Baoge Group, known for their internal security forces, were arrested.
During the arrest process, some officers were injured, though lightly, so it was not a major issue.
Furthermore, once these sixteen individuals were in custody, they were uncooperative and defiant during the investigation.
Xu Xiao'an's special investigation team was unable to get anywhere with them, so they were all detained first. Xu Xiao'an sought instructions from Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong appeared very professional, stating that there was no need to worry about their silence. As long as an evidence chain was formed, they could be convicted without any confession! He then inquired about the construction sites, asking if they had been sealed off.
Xu Xiao'an felt a bit troubled, saying they wished to seal them off, but it wasn't feasible. They could barely move the police cars because the other party questioned what to do if construction was delayed. Unless every hundred workers at each site were arrested. These workers were also disrupting the situation after being incited!
Liu Zhizhong acknowledged this, saying to temporarily ignore the construction sites but to complete the evidence chain. He instructed to inform those arrogant internal security personnel that even if they didn't confess, they would face swift and severe sentencing.
After all, resisting environmental laws, injuring state officials severely, and even possibly causing death would undoubtedly result in severe punishment.
When he arrived at the Environmental Protection Bureau, Liu Zhizhong held a meeting discussing environmental issues, giving orders and requirements. He stressed that Daxi's green mountains and clear waters were hard to come by and must be preserved for future generations to enjoy a clear blue sky, clean air, and safe water sources. Anyone polluting would be considered an enemy of the people, which the Deputy Minister of Propaganda knew could be promoted and heavily publicized.
During the meeting, the director suddenly received a phone call from the security at the entrance, and his face turned very grave.
He quietly leaned over to Liu Zhizhong's ear and whispered, "Mayor Liu, it's bad. The general manager from Baoge Group has barged in with people, and the security at the entrance couldn't stop them. Sigh…"
Liu Zhizhong sneered coldly and said, "Is it that general manager from Baoge Group, Zhang Minmin?"
"It should be her, sigh… Look at how this is escalating, sigh…"
Liu Zhizhong was unfazed, maintaining a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a bang as the door to the conference room was kicked open.
A young woman with a cold demeanor stood at the doorway, wearing high-heeled short boots, resembling the Jade Woman Demon...
