Chapter 1976: Making a Trip
It was obvious that the s.h.i.+ family was behind this.
When he thought about Lan Weisong, Xu Binren felt a chill run down his spine.
He usually knew how to worm his way out of things, but if he fell into Lan Weisong’s trap, he might not be able to get out of this one.
“Can I have a few words with my father alone?”
He was already being blocked from the front. He had to discuss his subsequent rescue with his father. However...
“I’m sorry, Governor Xu. I’m afraid that won’t do. You can only speak to your family after you’re released from the Ministry of Justice or transferred to the detention center. Everything you’ve done so far might interfere with judicial justice. Please come with us!”
“No! My family and Old Xu haven’t done anything! He won’t go with you! Are you blind? It’s obvious that this prison guard was bribed by someone else to frame our Old Xu. We also didn’t understand why a prison guard was coming over to talk to us. But he told us that he had to report some important news to our Old Xu alone, so we let him in. Now that he’s been arrested, someone must have informed you to come here, right? Who tipped you off? Go and arrest the person who did! You’ve been working with crimes for so long. Can’t you people see through such an obvious case of framing?”
“Young Madam Xu, we have sufficient evidence to bring Governor Xu away to a.s.sist with our investigation. If we had no evidence, we wouldn’t have come here. If you feel like Governor Xu was framed, wait until we produce our evidence. You can provide counter-evidence to prove his innocence.”
“Bullsh*t!” Duan Fei wanted to turn things around on the Ministry of Justice. “Don’t tell me that as judicial personnel, you’re arresting my husband just to be able to put him in jail? Is the goal of your judicial court to put the people from the executive hall in jail one by one? You people are an insult to justice!”
(Just to clarify, this is a presidentially-run country.The power of a presidential country is divided into three departments, namely, legislation, administration, and justice. The three powers are separated. The legislative council is responsible for the enactment of laws, the executive hall is responsible for administration, and the judicial court is responsible for supervising the implementation of laws. Public security is under the purview of the judicial court.)
The man from the Ministry of Justice frowned. “Madam Xu, even though our Ministry of Justice works in the administrative department of Sea District, we operate independently too. We have our reasons for bringing Governor Xu back for questioning. If Madam Xu continues to try to humiliate us, we’ll arrest you for standing in the way of judicial justice.”
...
Seeing that the ministry did not seem to want to budge, Elder Xu stopped Duan Fei and said to Xu Binren, “Go. A righteous man isn’t afraid of false rumors. Our Xu family is big and has a net worth of over 60 billion. Do you think we’d still l.u.s.t over a project that small? The Ministry of Justice doesn’t mess around. They’ll soon see that whatever evidence they have has been forged. Don’t worry! I’ll have my people gather evidence at home too. No matter who framed you, our Xu family won’t back down from a fight with them!”
The people of the Ministry of Justice glanced at Old Master Xu. They were all shocked to hear that Xu family had such a powerful family background.
However, they then thought about how the Wu family was the richest man in Sea District. Their a.s.sets were definitely worth more than the Xu family’s. Since the Wu family’s matter was almost certain, then the Xu family was not even worth mentioning.
After the people from the Ministry of Justice determined that they did not have any comments for Elder Xu’s words, they brought Xu Binren into the car. As the Ministry of Justice and Public Security’s car drove off into the distance, the Xu family settled down. Suddenly, Old Master Wu’s legs went weak. He clutched his heart and collapsed.
