Chapter 1288 - 1338: Not Giving Face to Anyone
The thugs wanted to run, but now they couldn’t escape. As for the police, even if they wanted to flee, they could escape as individuals but not as an institution. Moreover, running now would only make resolving the issue even harder later. Looking at Li Yifei standing at the gate, if they chose to force their way through, Li Yifei would probably have his legs broken for real.
Director Liu secretly pulled out his phone and cautiously dialed a number. Right now, he was desperate for backup but was afraid the others wouldn’t let him make the call. He tried to be discreet, but just as he brought the phone to his ear, he felt Li Yifei’s gaze fall upon him. Not only Li Yifei, but several people’s eyes were now fixed on him.
Director Liu gritted his teeth. Even if he had to endure an electric shock from a baton, he had to make this call; otherwise, things would only get worse. Surprisingly, no one stopped him, which made him doubt the peculiar situation. Without further hesitation, he hurriedly spoke into the phone: "Brother Wang, your brother’s in trouble! Hurry up and help me... There’s Ye Ningfeng from the Provincial Public Security Bureau, can you find someone who can connect me with him?... Ah, you don’t know him? Then quickly find someone who does, I’m begging you, Brother Wang. If you don’t help me, I’m done for."
Seeing that no one stopped Director Liu from making his call, Zhao Zhisheng quickly pulled out his own phone and dialed a number: "Township Chief Sun, I need help urgently. Do you know anyone connected with Ye Ningfeng from the Provincial Public Security Bureau? I’ve gotten into trouble with him, and now he’s coming after me. If you don’t back me up, I’m finished... Yes, good, good, I’m counting on you, Township Chief Sun."
Director Liu and Zhao Zhisheng were considered influential figures in this township. They knew people with connections, but even after making the calls, their anxiety remained high. If this were the City Public Security Bureau, there might be some room to maneuver, but Ye Ningfeng was from the Provincial Public Security Bureau—even just a section chief—he was someone beyond the reach of ordinary networks.
They felt as though every moment dragged on endlessly because the County Public Security Bureau officers were about to arrive. Once they were taken away and legal procedures were initiated, things would become extremely dire.
Director Liu’s phone rang first. "Brother Wang, how is it?"
"How the heck did you get involved with him? Do you think he’s someone to mess with?"
"Brother Wang, I didn’t know who he was either. Ah, you’ve figured out who he is? Does that mean you have a connection?"
"Yes, I’ve found someone who’s familiar with him. I’ll try to get them in touch, but there’s no guarantee it’ll work out."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang."
