Chapter 626: Capable of Being Humble and Assertive
In front of the memorial hall, there was a clamor.
"People’s father died, and they’re not even allowed to send him off on his final journey. Is there no humanity left?"
"City officials can dismiss people like they’re nothing, huh? If your dad died, wouldn’t you attend his funeral?"
"Are you all fucking heartless?"
Faced with over forty ferocious urban management officers, Wei Pengcheng was instantly panicked. He clutched the shiny handcuffs but simply couldn’t bring himself to use them. Most of the others were dispatched from the city bureau and were also hesitant in the face of this crowd, compounded by Gao Man, who was surrounded in the middle and constantly muttering.
"What’s the rush with this investigation? They won’t even let people send off their dead father!"
This internal and external trouble had the group of a dozen huddling together. A sense of camaraderie was keeping them from taking action, leaving Wei Pengcheng naturally overwhelmed. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Lin Fan, who stood at the back smoking, his face distorted in disdain as he sneered at him.
Just at that moment, another group of people approached, led by Deputy County Chief Zhao Chuanchun, followed by other county leaders as well as many heads from the county government and various departments. Clearly, without Zhao Chuanchun’s presence, none of them would have dared to show up.
