Chapter 104: Apprehensive

  In the past few days, whether in the provincial capital or in Guanhai City thousands of miles away, those who knew about the Yu Xiaopeng case were all discussing it privately. Logically speaking, the case has been basically clarified, and Yu Xiaopeng and Di Rong, the main suspects, have also been handed over to the judicial department, and even two trials have been held. So why is there still no verdict? What's more interesting is that during the two trials, the other party involved, Cong Ye and Yan Qingcheng, never appeared in court, which has never happened before in previous trials.

  Yu Xiaopeng, who was detained in court, did not feel as calm as he used to. This time, Yu Xiaopeng felt a clear difference. Not only did his mother and aunt, who had always been running around for him, fail to appear even once, but he also couldn't convey any information to the outside world. Yu Xiaopeng had analyzed it many times in his heart, that even if he was sentenced as the mastermind behind the scenes according to Di Rong's testimony, he would only get three to five years at most. If his father could intervene, it would be at most one year, or even just detention. But why was the verdict being delayed for so long in such a simple case?

  Yu Xiaopeng could not have imagined that the public security system had not only investigated the bank account opened in his mother Wang Pengying's name, but also discovered the fact that he had remitted money abroad. Even more unimaginable was that this matter had already been reported to the National Security Bureau, which was organizing personnel to investigate the overseas account.

  Yu Xiaopeng's mother Wang Pengying and aunt Yu Li also felt the unusual smell.

  The two of them tried several times but were unable to see each other, and Yu Xiaopeng was summoned by the police for the second time. Moreover, the Public Security Bureau also sent someone to investigate all their bank accounts. Wang Pengying did not know that her son had opened a bank account with his ID card. The police would not tell her either.

  This was not the most urgent thing for the two, the most urgent thing was still that leisure club. That night, when Yu Li knew what had happened in the leisure club, although she felt it was serious, she didn't think it would be so severe. When he called Provincial Hall's Zhou Director to ask him to coordinate, the result was that they couldn't see the Military District leaders. Yu Li panicked, immediately telling her sister-in-law about it. She didn't dare tell Yu Xiaopeng's father about it, as for how she and her sister-in-law had always spoiled their nephew Yu Xiaopeng, that Secretary brother of hers had said something to her more than once or twice.

  When Wang Pengying tried to find Director Zou again, neither the landline nor the mobile phone was answered. Helpless, in the name of Yu Xiaopeng's grandfather, he asked for a connection to the General Office, hoping they could help find Zhang Xiaohang's father, Zhang Lao, to intercede on their behalf. However, although everything had been agreed upon over the phone at the time, that person immediately went to ask Zhang Lao to intercede, but what the two of them did not expect was that after waiting and waiting, they never received a call from that person, so naturally they didn't know how Zhang Lao had responded. When they called that person again, he simply turned off his phone.

  It wasn't until they realized that things weren't going well between them that they finally found Yu Xiaopeng's father and told him the truth.

  Yu Secretary did not know that his son had opened another leisure club. He rarely inquired about Yu Xiaopeng's affairs. After going to work in the morning, he also learned from his secretary about the incident at the leisure club. However, he never expected that this was again caused by his own son Yu Xiaopeng.

  It wasn't until his wife, Wang Pengying, arrived at the office that he found out everything. At that time, he smashed the teacup on the table in front of his wife. Without saying a word, he just waved his hand to his wife Wang Pengying and asked her to leave quickly.

  After his wife and child left, Secretary Yu sat in a chair, gritting his teeth in anger. How did he end up raising such a son?

  That Zhang Xiaohang's father, Old Zhang, also known as the Lame General, was acquainted with Secretary Yu. He was notorious in the army for his violent temper. This time, he had encountered his son Zhang Xiaohang; if it were Old Zhang himself, it might not have just been a matter of smashing up the bathhouse - shooting someone dead on the spot would not have been out of the question.

  It's Zhang Lao's leg, also because of his violent temper.

  Zhang Lao was born into a wealthy family of national capitalists in Shanghai, and apart from enjoying luxurious food and clothing from a young age, he also received a good education. When he was young, influenced by revolutionary ideas, Zhang Lao resolutely chose to give up his comfortable family life and join the great revolution. However, neither his ancestors nor his parents agreed with this decision. It seems that a hot temper can be inherited, as Zhang Lao's father also had a quick fuse. Due to Zhang Lao's persistence, his father flew into a rage and broke one of his legs, for a very simple reason:

  "Break your legs and I'll support you for life, just don't allow you to participate in any revolution."

  Unexpectedly, during the process of treating Zhang Lao's injuries and asking for medicine at home, Zhang Lao took the opportunity to secretly slip away with his injured leg. Because the broken leg did not receive timely treatment, it led to obvious sequelae, and as he grew older, the symptoms became more and more apparent.

  Secretary Yu remembered that in that unprecedented disaster, Zhang Lao was able to survive also because of his fiery temper, it wasn't that no one wanted to move him. However, every time he would be chased out by him holding a gun. At the time, Zhang Lao had once said:

  "I'm doing things right and proper, you want to mess with me? Bring it on, let's settle this with real knives and guns."

  Yu Secretary now really doesn't know how to end this, and as for Father's place, I'm afraid he's already furious at home. Zhang Lao and the others are all Father's old leaders from back in the day, they can also be said to be old comrades-in-arms, letting his son get into so many troubles one after another, how can Father face them?

  At this time, Secretary Yu's mobile phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was Director Zou.

  "Director Zou, something's up?"

  "Oh, is that so? Secretary Yu has also heard about the club's affairs?"

  "I just knew."

  "This matter is not easy to handle, Secretary Yu also knows Old Zhang and understands the old man's temper. Although General Zhang is slightly easier to talk to than Old Zhang, what the people at the club did was too excessive. If it were you or me, we might not be much better off either."

  "I understand."

  "Now, I have already controlled all the employees in the club. Among them, there are not a few who were under Di Rong's command in Sifang City. They have always been doing some illegal things for Di Rong in society and were just dealt with by the public security organs of Sifang City a few days ago. I really don't know if Xiao Peng knows the background of these people."

  Director Zou's unspoken implication was clear: how could these people be allowed to stay in the clubhouse?

  "That scoundrel, let's not mention him for now. Director Zou, the key to this matter lies with Old Zhang and my father. Help me think of a solution, I really don't know how to handle it."

  "From Zhang Lao, I learned from Li Naiwen who entered the capital that the fire has been extinguished and he doesn't plan to intervene in this matter. So, as long as we communicate with Zhang Junzhang, it's fine. As for Yu Lao, you are father and son, outsiders shouldn't interfere."

  "I'm just not familiar with Zhang Jun."

  "I've only met him once or twice at some meetings. This time he directly dispatched a company of guards, so there's no intention to let us intervene. So, Secretary Yu should think about who can get along with Zhang Jun."

  Zou Zhenshu isn't stupid, he thought to himself. At this time, going to find Zhang Xiaohang to plead on behalf of Yu Xiaopeng would be looking for trouble. Those two father and son are notorious for their violent tempers. Besides, if my words had any effect, then Vice Minister Jiang would have already made an appearance that night. But instead, General Zhang didn't even bother to show his face, only sending a lieutenant colonel from the guard regiment to make a perfunctory greeting. From that alone, it's clear they never intended to follow legal procedures. The military is afraid of your black society organization? What a bunch of blind fools.

  Thinking of this, Zou Zhenshu couldn't help but scold in his heart. After all, this was something that happened under his nose, and no matter how you put it, things had gotten to the point where he, as the director of the provincial public security department, didn't have much face left.

  But if I had to say who is the most desperate person now, it would be Di Rong.

  I thought that at most, it would be a sentence of one or two years, and with Yu Xiangpeng's intervention, it should be similar to last time. However, when the police interrogated him again and asked about his subordinates from Sifang City, he also briefly mentioned what happened at the leisure club. Di Rong almost fainted on the spot, as he had blackmailed General Zhang, a lieutenant general. Although he didn't know who General Zhang was, just the rank of lieutenant general made Di Rong feel hopeless.

  How can this be good? Di Rong's heart is almost broken.

  If you add a tolerant and sheltered person with a black society background to yourself, wouldn't you become the boss of an organization with a black society nature? In that case, would it be just a sentence of one or two years? At least it's life imprisonment!

  "No way, absolutely not, must bring Yu Xiaopeng in too, let him carry it with me, otherwise, I'm completely done for this lifetime."

  Diren, who had made up his mind, when the police asked:

  "Are these people you invited yourself, or is Yu Xiaopeng also involved?"

  "It was I and Yu Xiaopeng who discussed it, and he also agreed beforehand."

  "Does Yu Xiaopeng know their background?"

  "Of course, Yu Xiaopeng already knew at Sifangcheng."

  However, when police questioned Yu Xiaopeng, they got a completely opposite answer.

  "Are the staff at the leisure club people you've hired?"

  "Some were the original old employees, and some were recruited by Di Rong."

  "Have you seen all the people Di Rong has invited?"

  "I've seen it."

  "Do you know their identity background?"

  Yu Xiaopeng still doesn't know what happened at the leisure club, but with his IQ, he can't infer anything from the police's questioning.

  "I don't know much about the management of the club, it's usually Di Rong who takes care of it. Including the new people he recently hired, I only met them after the fact."
