Pointing at Director Fu, he said, "You should first ask the traffic police what their opinion is on how to handle this traffic accident. I want to hear it!"
Director Fu nodded, quickly took out his phone and dialed the traffic department's number. After the call connected, Director Fu even pressed the speakerphone button. He dared not be mysterious in front of these leaders.
As soon as the call connected, a young woman's clear voice answered: "Hello, this is the Traffic Accident Handling and Recording Center. How can I help you?"
"Find out the handling opinion for the traffic accident that happened today at the Dongcheng Linyuan Road Auto City. The vehicles involved in the accident were a Mercedes-Benz and an Audi!" Director Fu didn't say much and went straight to the point.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specific handling method here. If you want to know, you should go to the Dongcheng Center of the Traffic Police Brigade to inquire."
Faced with the female staff member on duty's excuses, Director Fu suddenly became furious and shouted, "Bring He Minghui over here!"
He Minghui is the director of the Dongcheng Traffic Management Office, in charge of traffic and traffic police. The female clerk on duty only paused for a moment before saying, "Boring!" and hanging up the phone.
This made Director Fu look quite embarrassed. How could he explain such a work attitude from his direct subordinate to his superiors? Leaders don't care how hard or tired you are; they only recognize your shortcomings!
Director Fu dialed another number with a gloomy face. This time, it wasn't the duty center's number, but He Minghui's cell phone. As soon as the call connected, He Minghui's voice came through. Of course, Director Fu put it on speakerphone as usual. With the leader right there, he was going to hear about this matter. No matter how difficult it was, he had to do as he was told!
"Boss, what's the good news? You actually called me today, haha, that's rare!"
".
Director Fu snorted and said, "Stop wasting so much time. Quickly give me your opinion on the handling of the traffic accident that happened today at the Dongcheng Linyuan Road Auto City. The vehicles involved were a Mercedes-Benz and an Audi. What is your traffic police's opinion on the on-site inspection and handling?"
He Minghui sensed something was off about Director Fu's tone and quickly dropped his joking manner. He immediately made a phone call to inquire.
From Director Fu's phone, he could faintly hear He Minghui's voice... Less than a minute later, he heard He Minghui say to Director Fu, "Boss, the decision is that the car owner bears primary responsibility. The specific amount of compensation for the car owner will only be determined after the Mercedes is inspected. Boss, I've heard about this too. Deputy Director He's wife called and gave me some instructions."
Director Fu's face grew increasingly gloomy, and He Guangwei also felt awkward, looking embarrassed. However, he thought to himself that the traffic police were alright. As long as the Audi driver was primarily responsible, things would be easier to discuss. Even if his wife called to say something, it wouldn't be considered bribery or fraud.
However, He Guangwei also felt a sense of unease. He had imagined that this middle-aged man, whom Director Chen and Secretary Xiao addressed as "Deputy Commander Li," was someone of considerable influence. But now, there was nothing he could do but assume he was in the right. He wasn't afraid of being attacked, but his career was definitely going to be affected. That bastard Wu Zhiguo, besides being arrogant and domineering, had never done anything good. Today, he'd gotten himself into serious trouble! Li Lei took a small in-circuit camera from the soldier behind him and handed it to Director Fu, saying calmly, "Take another look at the contents of this camera. I filmed it at the scene. I'm wondering, are the people in your traffic police department amateurs or were they planted through back channels? It seems they specialize in turning wrong into right and right into wrong. They call white black and black white."
Director Fu took the camera footage and pulled it up. Although he wasn't on duty outside every day, he could immediately tell the problem from the location of the vehicles and the wrecked parts of the two cars!
Director Fu's face turned ashen. He Minghui's answer, the attitude of the female staff member at the traffic management center, and the handling of this obvious car accident issue all made him extremely embarrassed!
A car accident is a minor incident, but it exposed so many problems. And these problems, unfortunately, were all revealed to the leader – this is the kind of team he manages!
Director Fu angrily handed the cup to He Guangwei and said, "Take a look for yourself. As your superior, I feel it's necessary to remind you that you should reflect on this."
When He Guangwei took the machine and looked at it, sweat immediately poured out of his forehead, and it was cold sweat!
That bastard Wu Zhiguo has really gotten him into big trouble; he can't get out of there now!
Director Fu was furious, and then shouted at the two men at the gate, "Both of you, come in here!"
Jiang Dezhi ran in and looked timidly at Director Fu, his face covered in cold sweat.
"Give me the key." Director Fu took the key from Jiang Dezhi, walked over to Li Wei and Zhou Xuan, and finally put on a smile, saying, "Li and Zhou, I apologize first. May I open this lock?"
Li Wei twisted his head, still trying to act tough, but Li Shou stood up, took the key from Director Fu's hand, and said, "I'll open this lock!"
When Li Lei came to unlock the door, Li Wei naturally didn't dare to make a fuss.
Li Lei first pried Zhou Xuan's hands off, then patted his shoulder before opening Li Wei's hands. After opening his hands, he saw that his son's wrists were bleeding from being strangled. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he was really angry inside. He usually hit his son very hard, but it hurt him to see his son like this. Besides, his son really hadn't done anything wrong today. His only mistake was that after seeing Zhou Ying being beaten, he jumped in and hit the other person too!
But Li Lei saw this as no big deal. His family were all soldiers, and the teaching he gave his sons was: don't fight if you're in the wrong, fight if you're in the right, and win! You can lose your head and bleed, but you must win the fight!
Wu Zhiguo had no idea that the group of people who came were all important figures he couldn't have imagined. In his mind, Director Fu must be on his uncle's side. He was still whispering to Jiang Dezhi outside the door. Jiang Dezhi had no interest in listening to him. His ears were turned to the side of the hall. He didn't know what was going on inside. As soon as he came in, he saw their expressions and knew that there was something bad going on!
Wu Zhiguo, rubbing his aching nose, said, "Uncle, that car of mine was brand new. The whole thing cost over 2.6 million yuan. How much compensation will they pay? They also have to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress for hitting me."
He Guangwei was furious. He shoved the ao back at Director Fu, then grabbed Wu Zhiguo by the chest and slapped him hard across the face several times with his right hand, cursing as he hit him: "You bastard! Not only do you do nothing good, but you also keep using my name. I'll call you a bastard! I'll call you a bastard!"
Wu Zhiguo was stunned and stood there dumbfounded as he was hit, unable to react for a moment.
He Guangwei then said to Li Wei, "Xiao Li, did he hit your sister? Let's deal with this slap as it came from. I'll finish hitting her and then hand it over to the bureau!"
He then slapped Wu Zhiguo several more times, the last slap being particularly hard. Wu Zhiguo cried out, "Ouch!" and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth!
Volume 1, Chapter 250: A Serious Problem
4. Even if this uncle-in-law didn't like him much before, he wouldn't have gone so far as to harm him, would he?
He Guangwei realized the seriousness of the situation at this point. He needed to distance himself from Wu Zhiguo, and after slapping Wu Zhiguo's words hard to swallow them, he quickly said to Li Lei, Xiao Yang, and Director Chen, "I must apologize to you leaders for my mistakes. Because of work, I have neglected to discipline my family members."
Li Lei immediately interrupted him, saying calmly, "You don't need to bring your family matters here. What you do is your business. I just want to ask Director Chen and Secretary Xiao, how should this assault be handled? Director He, don't abuse violence. Did your wife's nephew learn to assault people from you?"
He Guangwei immediately felt embarrassed and awkward, cursing Li Lei in his heart, but he dared not say it aloud. He didn't even dare to show the slightest expression on his face!
He had just given Wu Zhiguo a good beating, intending to show his loyalty and impartiality to the leadership. He clearly distinguished between public and private matters, but Li Lei dismissed that with a single sentence. Li Lei meant, "It's your business if you want to hit him, it has nothing to do with official business. No matter how much you hit him, it has nothing to do with Wu Zhiguo's actions; that matter still needs to be investigated!"
Among those present, although the military and government were supposed to not interfere with each other, Li Lei's status was undeniable. Even if he had no connection to the local government and couldn't directly control it, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make things difficult for these local officials if he wanted to. Others might not know this, but Wei Haihe's secretary, Xiao Yang, understood the relationship between Li Lei and Secretary Wei's family. Wei Haihe had instructed that this matter be handled carefully, and Xiao Yang naturally understood what he meant: it was a matter of assessing the situation. If Li Wei and Zhou Xuan were in the wrong, they would be treated leniently. But now the facts were clear: Wu Zhiguo was the one in the wrong and responsible, so the matter was much easier to handle!
I watched all the footage from the video, and then I clarified the details of the fight between Li Wei, Zhou Xuan, and Wu Zhiguo. Wu Zhiguo was fully responsible for the car accident. Regarding the fight, Wu Zhiguo started by confronting Zhou Ying, so he can also be held accountable. Then Zhou Xuan and Li Wei chased after him and attacked him; those two also bear some responsibility. It's touching. Regardless, they were all at fault. But in this situation, who would be so blind as to hold a grudge about Zhou Xuan and Li Wei's assault?
If this were an ordinary person, Wu Zhiguo would have been able to act arrogantly today, but unfortunately, he has met someone he can't afford to offend!
Director Chen, being their highest-ranking direct superior, snorted with a grim face and said, "Director Fu, what are your thoughts on handling the car accident?"
Director Fu was also embarrassed. This incident could be said to have brought up a series of problems, turning small matters into big ones. These things may seem insignificant, but in the eyes of the leaders, they are very serious issues!
"Regarding the responsibility issue handled by the traffic police, Deputy Director He, this is your area. Go back and handle it as soon as possible. Give me the results tonight, and then I will report the results and the whole matter to my superiors!"
Director Fu threw the embarrassing situation back at He Guangwei. He figured He Guangwei's days ahead would be difficult after this, so he'd let him handle Wu Zhiguo's matter first. He'd made He Guangwei suffer, so he'd make him suffer even more. He'd make him suffer so much that he'd have to wait anxiously for his superiors' decision.
Director Fu then called the station chief in and said sternly, "How can you serve the people with this kind of work attitude? How can you earn the trust of the people? Suspend Jiang Dezhi and those other police officers who went to make the arrests; they're all under investigation. You bring all the materials to the station today!"
The director meekly agreed and stood aside, not daring to say a word.
