Chapter 470 - 471: Fluffed Up
Su Yawei immediately logged into the browser on his phone and then saw the breaking news. It featured those very people he had ordered to assault someone, explaining how they were instructed to do so. They mentioned his name and his grandfather’s name with utter clarity.
"Fuck!" Su Yawei cursed out loud, then looked at other popular websites and forums. To his shock, the video was prominently displayed everywhere, its view count skyrocketing and comments flooding in—nearly all of them abusive.
Cold sweat broke out on Su Yawei’s forehead. The video had spread so far and so fast; it would surely draw the higher-ups’ attention. The situation was not going to end well.
Su Yawei’s phone rang again—it was his grandfather. His heart sank as he hurriedly answered.
"Are you at the Public Security Bureau?" Vice Mayor Su asked through gritted teeth.
With a pained expression, Su Yawei replied, "Yes, I’m here right now. That guy has been arrested, and his phone was smashed by me. How could I know he would upload the content to the internet, and even make it to the headlines of major sites?"
"You imbecile, how could you handle things like this? There must be someone behind this, damn it!" Vice Mayor Su was truly furious, now finding himself in hot water as well.
At that moment, Li Jin hurried into the bureau chief’s office.
"Chief, it’s bad. The video of Su Yawei hiring gangsters to beat someone up has been leaked, and the internet is full of denunciations."
"What?" Liu Yuqing exclaimed, then quickly browsed through the video himself. His mind raced, and he made a quick decision, "Go interrogate Song Xiaodong personally right now. No matter what, make sure all procedures are fair and legal, without a single violation. Everything must be done by the book."
