Chapter 44 - Reporting Hotline!

At that moment, Lin Luoluo was stupefied.

She felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

But the next moment, Yang Hao’s scolding yanked her back to reality.

“Kid, stop dreaming about getting justice.

Assaulting municipal government staff means at least ten years behind bars.

Get ready to serve your time.”

“Surround him, don’t let him escape.”

Zhou Yu sneered.

“What of municipal government staff?

I refuse to believe there’s nowhere in the entire fire department where reason prevails.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out his phone and dialed Zhang Guoqiang’s number.

“I want to report someone, his name is Liu Mingyuan.

This man, despite being a public servant, bullies others with his power, acts vilely, and is now even abusing his authority, throwing his weight around at Lin’s Corporation.”

After finishing his statement, Zhou Yu hung up the phone.

The people around him were all dumbstruck.

With the way Zhou Yu was talking, could it be that he knew some big shot?

A knot formed in Yang Hao’s heart as he asked,

“Who were you calling?”

“The fire department’s whistleblower hotline,” Zhou Yu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao’s face twisted into a sneer.

“Moron!”

“You got that number off the internet, didn’t you?

You could dial it a million times and it would do you no good.”

The others also revealed looks of mockery.

As if they were looking at a fool.

At this time, Liu Mingyuan, who had been knocked to the ground, was helped up and after a quick first-aid treatment, with fury written all over his face, took out his phone to call for assistance.

Seeing this, Yang Hao sneered and said,

“Zhou Yu, Squad Leader Liu didn’t come alone today.

His subordinates will be charging in any moment now.

You’re finished.”

Zhou Yu’s face remained calm.

“Is that so?”

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before people from the fire department burst into the conference room.

Seeing Liu Mingyuan in such a state, the fire department personnel were filled with rising anger.

“Who laid hands?”

Yang Hao couldn’t wait to point at Zhou Yu.

“It was him.”

“Quick, arrest him.”

The fire department personnel immediately charged forward.

But just then, an enraged voice came from outside the conference room.

“Stop!”

Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man rushing over in haste.

Seeing this man, the fire department personnel were all stunned.

“Director Zhang, what brings you here?”

The man was none other than Zhang Guoqiang.

This was a bigwig often featured on Yancheng TV news.

Shareholders of Lin’s Corporation all instinctively stood at attention, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Jubilation surged in Yang Hao’s heart; the bigger the commotion, the better for him.

He quickly approached and said,

“Director Zhang, I never expected to trouble someone of your stature; my apologies.”

However, Zhang Guoqiang’s face was ice-cold.

“Get out of the way.”

Yang Hao jumped in fright and hastily moved aside.

Zhang Guoqiang’s immediate attention turned to Zhou Yu.

“Zhou…”

Zhou Yu saw this, his brow furrowed slightly and, squinting his eyes, subtly shook his head.

Zhang Guoqiang paused, then suddenly remembered Zhao Jianfeng’s special instructions that Zhou Yu preferred to keep a low profile.

He quickly changed his approach.

“Who made the call just now?”

Only then did Zhou Yu speak up.

“It was me.”

“What’s the situation here?”

Zhou Yu looked towards Chang Yuan and said indifferently,

“Tell us what happened between you and Yang Hao and Liu Mingyuan.”

Chang Yuan started talking at once, spilling everything.

The more Zhang Guoqiang heard, the uglier his expression became.

After listening, he burst out,

“Liu Mingyuan!”

“You’ve got some nerve.”

“Take him back for a thorough investigation.”

“Yes.”

The fire department personnel immediately dragged Liu Mingyuan away.

Zhang Guoqiang’s way of handling the situation surprised everyone.

No one had expected Zhang Guoqiang to act so decisively and immediately take Liu Mingyuan into custody.

While everyone was still in shock, Zhang Guoqiang approached Lin Luoluo.

“You must be President Lin.”

“I apologize for this inconvenience.

I will thoroughly investigate this matter.

Rest assured, our fire department does not tolerate any enterprise being wrongfully troubled, nor will we overlook a rotten apple in our midst.”

“By this afternoon at the latest, I will give you a resolution.”

Lin Luoluo was astonished; she could hardly believe the scene before her.

The dignified Director of the fire department was being so polite.

Lin Luoluo stammered.

“Thank…

thank you, Director Zhang.”

Zhang Guoqiang glanced at Zhou Yu, gave a slight nod, and then led the people away.

After the fire department personnel had left, everyone in the conference room looked at each other in dismay.

Someone couldn’t help but ask,

“President Lin, do you know Director Zhang?”

“I…

don’t know him.”

Lin Luoluo also wanted to know such an important figure, but unfortunately, she did not.

Yang Hao scoffed.

“You’re all too naive.”

“Do you really think that just on Chang Yuan’s word alone, he would take action against Squad Leader Liu?”

“People like Director Zhang, in public, definitely have an image to maintain.

He was just going through the motions earlier, putting on a show,

“I’m putting it right here that after Squad Leader Liu is taken back, at most he’ll get a scolding.

But this matter of his broken leg is far from over.”

“President Lin, have you considered how to appease Squad Leader Liu’s anger?”

Yang Hao’s barrage of questions got everyone’s hearts racing.

Yang Hao was right.

The matter was far from over.

Lin Luoluo kept silent, her lips tightly pursed, her eyes filled with deep concern.

Seeing Lin Luoluo once again caught in a dilemma, Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“Didn’t Director Zhang just say that there would be a result by the afternoon?

Why rush to conclusions?”

“Shut your mouth, you have no place to speak here,”

Yang Hao glared at Zhou Yu.

Before, he had never truly acknowledged Zhou Yu, but now, he suddenly realized that many things seemed to have been spoiled by Zhou Yu’s hands.

Zhou Yu looked at Yang Hao and said calmly,

“If you think your face is tougher than this table, go ahead and yell at me one more time.”

Yang Hao’s eye twitched.

The cracks in the office table were a stark reminder, and he was not unafraid; that would be a lie.

Yang Hao snorted coldly.

“You can act tough for the morning at most.

Let’s see how you keep it up in the afternoon.”

With that, Yang Hao led his people out.
