"I already had Emma leak news of the incident online last night and I destroyed the surveillance video from the bar. Currently, the word out is that someone else injured Ling Feng." Xu Fengnian reported to Zhang Xiaohua.Zhang Xiaohua became confused and asked: "Wait, if it wasn"t me who injured Ling Feng, then who was it?"
Xu Fengnian gave Zhang Xiaohua a look and said: "I had Xiong Zhuang go to the police station and surrender last night. We needed to delay their investigation, I hope you can understand."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, he understood Xu Fengnian"s intentions.
With Xiong Zhuang"s surrender the police would be unlikely to investigate further for a while, giving them at least some time. Anyway, the surveillance videos had been destroyed. Without this, just Ling Feng"s arguments alone couldn"t const.i.tute as evidence. Even if the people around him came out to testify, their words would just be seen as biased and unfair now. With the matter gaining online attention, it would be harder for the Jinsheng Group to manipulate things.
This way, the Jinsheng Group wouldn"t be able to make the situation bigger than it was. This would allow Xiong Zhuang to get away with the minimum sentencing of 15 days detention.
One was the security manager of a small company and the other was the successor of an international business group. If Xiong Zhuang took the fall, it would allow Zhang Xiaohua to stay out of the matter.
However if the Jinsheng Group was really determined to make trouble, then Xiong Zhuang would definitely suffer big losses.
In general, in most cases of a.s.sault, the a.s.sailant was just detained for 15 days at best and made to pay a fine.
But if Ling Feng insisted on pursuing it, then he could face up to three months of imprisonment.
Especially if he faked out an injury, reported it as a grievous wound, and then pressured the judicial department in the name of the Jinsheng Group.
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head. He had caused this, he couldn"t allow Xiong Zhuang to carry this burden, it wouldn"t look good to those inside and outside the company, plus it was too risky a play.
If he didn"t bear this responsibility, how was he meant to gain and retain loyalty and respect. How would he face the brothers under Xiong Zhuang?
Deeply sighing, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Xu Fengnian and sincerely said: "Uncle Xu, I know you have my best interests at heart and I am very grateful to you for thinking about me. However, Xiong Zhuang is not only a member of our company. He is also our friend. I can"t just watch him take the blame for me."
"Boss, you plan to go to the police station to surrender?" Emma widened her eyes, horrified.
Yuan Datong suddenly spoke up: "If your going to surrender, I will go with you."
"We"ll go too." The rest spoke up in support.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at everyone with grat.i.tude and smiled: "You are the top executives of the company. Without you, how would the company operate?"
Zhang Xiaohua picked up his clothes: "Your kindness is forever in my heart. But you can rest a.s.sured, Ling Feng is not my opponent. If he wants to play with me, he is still too weak."
Zhang Xiaohua went out to wash his face and dress up, then ate some breakfast.
Looking at the time, Zhang Xiaohua smiled at everyone: "You need to get to work. Rest a.s.sured, I can take care of it myself. Even if I can"t handle it, I believe Xu Fengnian will help me."
Zhang Xiaohua discretely flashed a sly smile to Xu Fengnian.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua insisting, they gave in.
"Oh yes, this is the video I took last night. I deleted the rest of the video yesterday. I only retained the part of Ling Feng swearing and spouting abuse. I hope it can be of help." After that, Emma sent the video to Zhang Xiaohua"s mobile phone.
"Thank you, I"m sure it will come to use later."
As the rest left, Zhang Xiaohua held back Xu Fengnian.…
….
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiaohua drove away, his destination was Xiqiao Police Station.
"Emma I"ll trouble you to inform the media that there will be a big event going down at Xiqiao Police Station, tell them to get there as soon as possible and await more info. Also inform the factory director about what happened last night and what just happened now." Said Xu Fengnian.
"Tell Zhou Yi???" Emma"s face was full of doubts and the others were also confused. How was this gonna help the situation? It would only cause panic.
Xu Fengnian didn"t explain, he just ordered them to carry out his orders.
...
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the nearby police station.
Just in time to run into Ling Feng and his entourage.
Outside the station was a group of people, in addition to Ling Feng and Ling Qitian, Cao Dequan and Cao Huahua were there along with Cao Feifei of course. Even Director Guo, Secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Public Security Bureau, had come in person. It could be seen how big of face Ling Qitian garnered.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua, Ling Feng was filled with shock, then became infuriated.
"Guo, what"s the f**cking meaning of this? Why isn"t this waste being detained? Why is he here?" Ling Feng"s eyes sparkled and his anger was unstoppable.
Director Guo was speechless. This case was the responsibility of the Xiqiao Police Station. He only heard about it, he had no idea of the specifics. He had no idea how to answer.
"Don"t be rude." Said Ling Qitian giving a stare Ling Feng, then he turned his head to Zhang Xiaohua, carefully looking him over.
Ling Qitian had recently read a bit about Zhang Xiaohua in the papers, for such a young fellow who started from scratch to earn hundreds of millions in a few short months, he truly was a promising talent!
Looking back at the Ling Feng, Ling Qitian couldn"t help but be disappointed, they were both around the same age but so different in every other way...
One knew how to make money and the other only how to spend it.
