The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 931
Chapter 931: Young Master Tang
A mother with a missing son trod more than 20 cities and finally found her child in Yun City.
However, her actions to save her child had affected certain people’s interests. She lost her life in a community still under construction.
Never would she have thought that death would come knocking on her door right after she had called the police.
Next to the unfinished community was a warehouse where the human traffickers held the children.
The incident once again occupied the trending searches of a certain blog in the form of images and texts. Almost everyone was following its advancements.
The dreadfulness of the matter had yet ascended to another level. This time, it was not only Liu Hongjiang, but other people would also be held accountable altogether, including the local law enforcement officers, the management of the railway station, and so on.
Perhaps when they did such things, they were oblivious to Secretary Liu’s ulterior motives and merely did him a favor.
In actuality, however, they had allowed so many children to be taken on board the train without even asking a question, simply because the chief secretary ordered so. A murder case had occurred, yet no in-depth investigation was carried out. It was unarguably negligence of duty!
This was different from human trafficking. This was a living human.
In Mainland, murder-related cases were promised absolute attention.
As Liu Hongjiang saw the news, his body sluggishly slumped into his office chair. He knew that this time, his journey as an officer was entirely ruined! No one could save him anymore. He just hoped his old boss could save his life.
Public opinion might be controllable, but the human heart would never be at peace.
Yun City was forced to spit out an explanation, so they sent a team to take Liu Hongjiang directly from his office.
Unfortunately for him, people were undoubtedly not as gullible this time around anymore. The matter itself had angered people all over the country.
The reason behind Liu Hongjiang’s lawlessness was that other departments cooperated with him.
This time, not only did they want a scapegoat, but all culprits were to be punished!
The outburst of fury from within had elevated beyond control.
The superiors were also actively convening meetings to take serious accountability for the Yun City incident.
Soon, the heads of the relevant departments arrived. Although they were afraid, they felt it was no big deal at the same time. After all, they were not the main offenders. The worst-case scenario was a transfer to other departments of the same level.
Indeed, they would not have been severely punished if this had happened in the past, as it was not easy to determine exactly whose responsibility it was. Moreover, no one wanted their subordinates in jail.
Therefore, the disciplinary inspector seated at the very top remained silent. He simply sat there and listened to the people below.
“Anyhow, this incident is Liu Hongjiang’s responsibility alone. People in the other departments were unclear about the situation that prompted them to make all kinds of mistakes. You see, once they’ve figured out what was going on, they’re cooperating voluntarily. It is unnecessary to detain the rest, or else those people who act contrary to our country will only get more arrogant. Rather than internal punishment, I think that we should first arrest the main alliance who created this incident! Now, not only is Liu Hongjiang’s son in their hands, but they have also taken the children of others. They are obviously trying to threaten us. This is a crime!”
“Deputy Director Zhang is right. They dared record videos in the interrogation room and even invade our system. This clearly shows that they have no respect for us! Leaving such people in the open simply disrupts the peace of society!”
“Yes, I also recommend punishing these violators of the law first! We must punish them severely! If we don’t do things properly, everything won’t be under control later! We can still take time to solve our internal problems and give everyone an explanation, but these criminals are different. They are simply lawless!”
“That’s right! Severely punished, they must be severely punished!”
Hearing this, the disciplinary inspector glanced down indifferently. This disciplinary inspector once served in the army and was an old general. It was said that he had always been ill-tempered back in the army, but ever since he became a disciplinary inspector, he had not lost his temper as easily anymore. He always wore a smile on his face, but anyone who had been in the army knew that they must not mess with this person.
It was a pity that none of these officials had been soldiers before.
“Done speaking?” asked the old general with a smile.
Thinking that he was in favor of their opinions, the people nodded one after another, without forgetting to sip their tea.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, they heard a bang!
The old general smashed the teacup in his hand onto Deputy Director Zhang’s head!
“As a deputy director at the police station, this is the kind of reasoning you use to shirk your responsibilities when something goes wrong! You spout nothing but b*llshit!”
Deputy Director Zhang did not expect the old general to erupt all of a sudden. Nonplussed, he reached out and pressed a hand against his forehead, staring blankly at the old general as he stammered, “I, I…”
“Stop quibbling! Take him away! As for the violator you speak of, I have been watching her from the moment she performed her first task. Compared to her, you lot are a bunch of waste! Back when America invaded China, she was one of the defenders!” spat the old general.
They heard a creak as the door of the meeting room swung open.
Where the light and shadows intersected, a slender figure sauntered from within. The person walked with a perfect posture, perhaps the result of long-term training, and watching his every stride was simply eye candy.
The man was dressed in a navy army uniform. The uniform seemed very delicate, accentuating his long legs and straight back. The spurs on his leather high boots gleamed, and as light fell onto the military emblem on his shoulder, it reflected a faint glare which seemed to outshine all other vibrant colors. He was charming beyond words. At that moment, his head was slightly tilted as he held what seemed like a smile on his face. His eyebrows lifted and sank slightly as he began, “Teacher, let me ask for myself. After all, I’m also one of the chief conspirators.” As he spoke, he scanned his surroundings. Then, with a hint of a smile in his tone, he added, “I heard that someone wanted to put members of our Tang Sect to blame. Who is it? Show yourself.”
Nobody dared stand up. The moment the words “Tang Sect” rolled off his tongue, everyone’s faces grew extremely pale!
Not only did no one dare reveal themselves, but everyone also held their breath. No single soul could muster enough courage to even move their hands.
It did not cross their minds at all that this action was neither led by ordinary people without any background, nor the small organizations they had encountered before, but directed by the Tang Sect.
This meant that this investigation was pioneered by the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect had always been a secret department used internally to resist foreign enemies. No one could accurately predict the authority of this department because it was so mysterious, and also because their leader was… Young Master Tang.
