“Is the president careless, or is the Ministry of Justice? Don’t you think it’s a waste of resources for the judicial court to repeatedly release then catch so-called criminals again like this?”
“Mr. Wu Jingzhong!” Guo Langming reprimanded in a low voice. He was very displeased.
!!
This time, Wu Jingzhong did not smile either. He looked at Guo Langmind with a dignified expression and berated, “Mr. Guo Langming, you did this to yourself. No one asked you to do this. Today is a great day for the Wu family. Are you sure you want to bear the crime of disturbing public order today over a foolish matter?”
“Foolish matter?” Guo Langming repeated unhappily.
“Isn’t it one? I was personally released by the president. I believe that the president didn’t ask you to immediately arrest me again after I was released. Arresting me is your Ministry’s decision. But you also said that the Wu family is suspected of being involved in the case of the executive hall’s network being hacked. I’m the Governor of Sea District. I was officially reinstated. You want to arrest me and my family in front of so many people just because you suspect me? In front of our own guests? Are you sure you’re not here as a joke?”
Wu Jingzhong’s words made a trace of guilt flash across Guo Langming’s eyes. Although this guilty look was fleeting, it was clearly caught by Wu Jingzhong and Li Heyi, Chi Yang, and Nangong Nuannuan, who was behind him.
“I am the governor of Sea District. My reputation is not to be tarnished by anyone. If you want to arrest me, you have to produce evidence. Even if it’s just evidence to frame me, you have to have some. Otherwise, how can I do my job if you come to me today and say that you suspect me and my family of being involved in a hacking? Do you want to arrest and release me tomorrow again because of another road incident? I’m not a normal person? I don’t need face or reputation. I am the governor, appointed by the government. I am a public servant elected by the people, and I have done everything in my life with a clear conscience. What right do you have to come to me and say that you want to arrest me because you have doubts about something? Who gave you the confidence to do that? I will say this today. Unless you get an official arrest warrant, unless the president personally video-calls me and says that he wants you to arrest me, I’ll rule you out as disturbing public order today. Not only will I not go with you, but I’ll also ask the police department to come here and arrest you.”
“How dare you! Wu Jingzhong, I am from the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Justice!”
“So what? Can the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Justice can arrest people as they please? Didn’t the division of labor just rearrange the port last week? How come I didn’t know that the people from the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Justice had the right to arrest the governor of Sea District?”
Suddenly, someone behind the Wu family spoke. Guo Langming stretched his head back and looked behind him. A man was slowly walking down the stairs.
Because he had been on the stairs all this time, the man looked to be slowly descending. After a second glance, Guo Langming could see the man’s face clearly.
His eyes instantly widened.
“Official… Official Li?!”
Li Heyi nodded and said, “I’m Li Heyi. You say that you’re the director of the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Justice, Guo Langming. I want to ask Director Guo, because as far as I know, the Ministry of Justice had a division of responsibilities last week…”
