Chapter Twenty: Fury

  Liu Fei had just walked out of the Public Security Bureau's main gate when he was surrounded by Feng Dongliang and his men.

  Feng Dongliang knew Liu Fei, and he remembered that this little policeman had once spoken up for him and other classmates, thus avoiding the danger of being expelled. He felt that Liu Fei was very just, so he reached out and grabbed Liu Fei's hand, saying: "Comrade police officer, you must help us! You don't know, Du Ziteng's parents are almost dying!"

  Upon hearing this, Liu Fei frowned and said to Feng Dongliang: "This classmate of yours, I don't care what grievances you've suffered, but do you know that bringing people here to surround the place today is a very wrong behavior? Do you know that you're disturbing public order?"

  At this time, a peasant suddenly interjected: "Those who have killed people by accident haven't been sentenced to prison. What crime are we committing just by waiting here for a while? Is there still justice in this world? Let's shout loudly and demand that the director give us justice."

  Liu Fei gave him a cold look and said to Feng Dongliang, "Are you here to plead for justice or cause trouble?"

  Feng Dongliang hastily said: "We are here to lodge a complaint, we want Director Liu to give us a reasonable explanation!"

  Liu Fei knew Liu Mingbo was impossible to come out. He glanced at Feng Dongliang: "Do you believe me or not?"

  Feng Dongliang hesitated and weighed it in his mind for half a day, considering Liu Fei's performance at the Municipal Bureau that day. He finally nodded: "I believe you!"

  Liu Fei waved his hand and said, "If you really want to solve this problem, follow me. Otherwise, if you really alarm the top leader, I won't be able to help you at that time." He led the way, walking towards a distant place.

  Feng Dongliang hesitated for a moment, then went to Du Ziteng's parents and whispered a few words. Finally, he led the crowd to follow Liu Fei from behind, gradually moving away from the Public Security Bureau.

  Liu Fei led the crowd to a secluded corner far away from the Public Security Bureau, and only then did he stop and say to Feng Dongliang: "Tell me about what happened. How was this matter handled?"

  Feng Dongliang then told the whole story from start to finish.

  After Liu Fei left, the Municipal Bureau held a meeting under the chairmanship of Liu Mingbo. The tone for this traffic accident was finally set at the meeting: the perpetrator Xu Jinchang was handed over to the judicial authorities and after the judicial authorities made a final ruling, the perpetrator Xu Jinchang was sentenced to three years' imprisonment with a two-year reprieve. As for the real responsibility of the matter, it was said that Du Ziteng crossed the road during the red light and was accidentally hit by Xu Jinchang, and the perpetrator was responsible for compensating the deceased's family 30,000 yuan!

  The result of this handling, Du Ziteng's family is naturally dissatisfied. The real culprit, Liang Shan, is not held accountable, and the compensation amount is pitifully low. In just a few years, they spent nearly 30,000 yuan to support Du Ziteng's university education, almost depleting their family savings. Just as Du Ziteng was about to graduate from college and start earning money to support his family, he was killed in an accident, and a life is valued at only 30,000 yuan. This makes them feel chilled, heartbroken, and bitter, ultimately leading to outrage!

  Angry were also Du Ziteng's classmates, they were eyewitnesses to the incident, but did not expect the final outcome would be like this, which made these proud students feel unacceptable. So they organized Du Ziteng's parents to go and make a scene together.

  After hearing the whole story, Liu Fei was also furious. How can people be so black and white? This Liu Mingbo is too much. He decided to help Du Ziteng's family. So he said to Feng Dongliang: "This time, the real key point of this matter is that there is no evidence to prove who the real perpetrator is? And this judgment result is obviously influenced by some people, and also the collective silence of the news media this time, there must be a deep reason behind it. If you want to solve this matter, you must start from the evidence, try your best to find various evidence at the scene, including finding witnesses, as well as video and audio evidence. Next time when you go to court, you can increase the chances of winning, otherwise without evidence, it is impossible to bring the real perpetrator to justice and get reasonable compensation!

  Feng Dongliang and others discussed it and agreed with Liu Fei's approach, so they decided to follow his method and go collect evidence first.

  Feng Dongliang then grabbed Liu Fei's hand with some worry and asked, "Comrade policeman, what if we collect evidence? Can you still help us?"

  Liu Fei smiled: "As long as you can find evidence, I guarantee to help you win this lawsuit!" When Liu Fei said this, his mood relaxed, because he knew that only by doing so could he be worthy of his own conscience. He wouldn't go out of his way to be a heroic swordsman who helps those in distress, but neither would he assist the wicked or be a stooge for the powerful; he just wanted to do what was right and just! He didn't want to wrong an innocent person, but absolutely did not want to see a bad person swaggering away under his nose.

  Liu Mingbo can play with the power in his hands for promotion and wealth, but Liu Fei won't. Liu Fei just wants to get everything within his jurisdiction properly settled.

  Feng Dongliang saw Liu Fei's sincere eyes and knew that Liu Fei was not deceiving them. He said with gratitude: "Thank you, police comrade, I don't know what to call you. After finding the evidence, how can we contact you?"

  Liu Fei wrote down his phone number and name without hesitation for Feng Dongliang, who then left with his men.

  Things settled down, Liu Fei walked back and forth, his heart began to secretly mourn, he knew that now he had become the object of Liu Mingbo's attack and exclusion. This officialdom is really not easy to mix!

  At the same time, in the toilet of the Public Security Bureau.

  Liu Mingbo and office clerk Luo Xun stood urinating, while urinating Liu Mingbo said: "Little Luo, how is the thing I entrusted to you now?"

  Luo Xun suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Liu. Liu Fei is just a rookie who has just graduated. I don't know if he can handle the situation by noon. If he doesn't come back, it's fine. But if he does come back this afternoon, I guarantee that he will have no place to stand in our criminal investigation department!"

  Liu Mingbo fastened his belt, and patted Luo Xun's shoulder with satisfaction: "Good job, Little Luo. I've taken note of it. Once my position is adjusted, I'll recommend you to take over my current role."

  Lu Xuan obviously also knew that Liu Mingbo had already reported to the Construction Bureau Director Liang, and in this car accident, he helped Liang Fei settle such a major matter. This favor was not small, and it was almost certain that Liu Mingbo would be promoted. If he could really take over Liu Mingbo's deputy director position, that would be great. He was very clear that in the official circle, to be promoted from an officer to a deputy director required a lot of effort. Although it seemed like just half a level, many people had spent their whole lives trying to get past this hurdle. If he could take advantage of Director Liu's attempt to deal with Liang Fei and ingratiate himself with the organization, then he would be a fool not to.

  Around 11:50 am, Liu Fei appeared in the office.

  Liu Mingbo and Luo Xun exchanged a glance, Luo Xun nodded secretly, meaning to say: "Don't worry, Director Liu, I'll take care of Liu Fei!"

  After resolving the door-blocking incident, Liu Fei's mood improved significantly. He thought to himself, "Liu Mingbo, you wanted to make things difficult for me, but I'm not that easy to deal with."

  At noon, after having lunch in the cafeteria, Liu Fei returned to the office and found that only Luo Xuan was there. Liu Mingbo, Su Qiaohong, and Ma Lili were not in the office.

  Liu Fei had just returned to his seat when Luo Xuan smiled and said to him, "Liu Fei, Director Qin just told me that he wants you to go to his office after lunch."

  Liu Fei said thank you and went straight to the office of Qin Lianhai, the head of the criminal investigation department. Qin Lianhai was the chief of the criminal investigation department and had a large office with two rooms inside and outside. The outer room was used for work, while the inner room was a rest room for him to take a nap during lunch or when he was on duty.

  Liu Fei came to Director Qin's office and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He gently pushed it open and found that the door was only slightly ajar. He thought maybe Director Qin was waiting for him in the inner room, so he pushed the door open and walked in.
