As soon as they left the hospital, Zhou Chao took out his phone and made a call.
“Hello, President Zhou, it’s a rare occasion for you to call me. What’s on your mind?” Qin Qingchun, who was lounging at home watching TV, was surprised to receive a call from Zhou Chao.
“President Qin, I’m not sure if we have anyone in Phoenix who can handle some matters, preferably in the legal field. 1 don’t want anyone lousy.” Zhou Chao got straight to the point.
“Young Master Zhou, are you in Hunan? Has something happened?” As soon as Qin Qingchun heard Zhou Chao’s voice, he knew there was trouble.
“I was planning to attend the wedding of one of my senior executives here, but unexpectedly, he ended up in the police station, and his father was hospitalized by the local contractors. 1 wanted to see if there’s anyone here who can help, and if not, I’ll make other arrangements.”
“We do have someone. 1’11 immediately have our company’s legal team come over, and we also have a branch in Phoenix. I’ll have them contact you.”
“Direct them to the police station!”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately!” Qin Qingchun knew that this was a test and an opportunity to truly align himself with Zhou Chao.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qingchun had the group’s lawyers take a helicopter to Phoenix and contacted the Phoenix branch to have them go to the police station with security personnel. Within three minutes, he had everything organized.
As Qin Qingchun lay down on the sofa, he suddenly sat up, saying, “No, I have to go in person, and 1 need to bring people with me.” He immediately picked up the phone and made another call.
On the other hand, Zhou Chao was already on his way to the police station.
After about ten minutes of driving, he arrived at the police station, and his car drew the attention of many.
Upon exiting the car, Zhou Chao walked straight into the station.
He approached a civilian officer and asked, “Hello, can you tell me if Lin Wu is being detained here?”
“Lin Wu? Who are you to him?” The civilian officer looked puzzled.
“A friend.”
“Sorry, unless you are a direct family member or a lawyer of the person involved, you are not allowed to visit.”
“Is the station chief here?” Zhou Chao knew the rules but wanted to meet with the station chief to inquire about the situation.
“Yes, his office is right ahead, to the right.”
“Thank you.” Zhou Chao proceeded toward the station chief’s office.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Come in!” A deep and powerful voice resonated from inside.
Zhou Chao pushed the door open and saw a man who appeared to be in his forties, with graying hair, giving an impression of sharpness.
“Hello, may 1 help you with something?”
“I wanted to ask…” Zhou Chao had just started to speak when his phone in his pocket began to ring.
“Sorry, I need to take this call,” Zhou Chao didn’t wait for the station chief to respond and answered the incoming call.
“President Zhou, hello, this is Wang Lin from the Phoenix branch. President Zhou, where are you at the police station?”
“I’m in the station chief’s office. Come here directly,” Zhou Chao said and hung up.
At this moment, the station chief, Zheng, looked at Zhou Chao with surprise.
“Excuse me, 1 just wanted to inquire about Lin Wu’s situation. I don’t know what’s going on!” Zhou Chao had barely finished speaking when the door to the station chief’s office was pushed open, and the person who had directed Zhou Chao earlier entered, along with a group of men in shirts.
“Station Chief, these are from Sany Group, looking for someone,” the civilian officer said, and Wang Lin walked up to Zhou Chao.
“Hello, President Zhou.”
“Um, please stay. Everyone else can leave. The air in here isn’t great.”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, the others went outside, leaving only the station chief and Zhou Chao in the room.
“Please have a seat. Xiao Wang, fetch two glasses of water.” Xiao Wang was the civilian officer who had directed Zhou Chao earlier.
“Yes, Station Chief!” Xiao Wang said and left the room.
“Mr. Zhou, you want to inquire about the situation of Lin Wu and the others, correct?”
“Yes,” Zhou Chao nodded simply and clearly.
“This matter is not that complicated, originally just a simple brawl. You can have a lawyer directly bail them out.” Station Chief Yang didn’t conceal anything and spoke directly.
“Then I want to ask about the incident where Lin Wu’s father was attacked earlier.”
“We don’t have any evidence for that matter, and the parties involved didn’t know who the assailant was. All we know is it was a group of people from their side. So, we don’t have direct evidence to prove which one it was. We could only detain them temporarily, but they’ve all been bailed out.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao no longer spoke and instead turned his gaze to Wang Lin beside him.
“Do you have a lawyer with you?”
“President Zhou, our branch company is arranged by the headquarters, but if you need one, I can go find one right now.”
“You can go now.
H
As soon as Zhou Chao finished speaking, they heard the sound of a helicopter nearby, and it was getting closer.
Soon, it felt like the helicopter had landed nearby.
Just as Wang Lin was about to open the door to contact a lawyer, Xiao Wang entered the room again, accompanied by an elite individual holding a briefcase.
As soon as the elite individual walked in, he looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Zhou Chao.
“President Zhou, I’m the lawyer sent by President Qin. Is there anything 1 need to handle?”
“You and Wang Lin go bail out Lin Wu. We’ll discuss the rest later.”
On the side, Station Chief Yang said to Xiao Wang, “Take them to process the bail procedures.”
Once everyone had left, Zhou Chao reached into his bag and took out a document from the system’s repository, tossing it in front of Station Chief Yang.
Looking at the document in front of him, Station Chief Yang raised an eyebrow in confusion and glanced at Zhou Chao. He then opened the document and began reading.
Upon seeing the official seal on the document, Station Chief Yang’s hands trembled for a moment, and he even dropped the document on the table.
He quickly stood up, picked up the document, and handed it back to Zhou Chao.
He then respectfully said, “Is there any specific instruction, Leader?”
“Thorough investigation! This matter is definitely not an isolated incident. No matter the circumstances, I want a complete investigation. If you can’t handle it, report it up the chain. If your superiors can’t handle it, 1’11 have someone else investigate. Also, I don’t want anyone else knowing about my identity!”
“Yes, a thorough investigation, without a doubt!” Zhou Chao glanced at Station Chief Yang and returned the document to the repository. Without saying another word, he started walking towards the exit.
Only then did Station Chief Yang realize that his clothes were soaked in sweat. He quickly took a sip of water and followed suit.
“Boss!” Zhou Chao patted Lin Wu, who had some bruises on his face.
“Let’s go, back home!” As they stepped out of the police station, they saw the courtyard filled with various luxury cars and even a helicopter.
Zhou Chao took a step forward and said, “Everyone, go back. There’s nothing more to be done here!”
“Yes, Boss!” Their voices echoed through the entire courtyard, and immediately, Mercedes-Benz and BMWs drove away.
Left behind were Zhou Chao, Lin Wu, Wang Lin, the lawyer, and the numerous civilian officers from the police station.
“Let’s go too!” Zhou Chao tossed the keys in his hand to Lin Wu and walked towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
“Station Chief Yang, who are these people? They are quite intimidating,” asked someone who was curious and cautious on the side.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Go about your business!” Station Chief Yang dismissed everyone, leaving only himself standing at the entrance, watching the Phantom driving out of the courtyard.
“The wind is rising!” Station Chief Yang let out a long sigh and turned to walk back.
“Boss, where are we going?”
“Let’s go back to your place for now!” Zhou Chao couldn’t think of any other place to go, so he decided to head to Lin Wu’s house.
“Wang Lin, also investigate the contractor responsible for the demolition. Find out everything about them. Oh, and this lawyer, what’s your name?”
“Boss, my last name is He, He Chuan!”
“Alright, Lawyer He, when we get back, have a thorough discussion with Lin Wu and get the details of the situation. Do whatever it takes to handle this matter properly!”
“Understood, Boss!” He Chuan was also an experienced person in the business world, and he knew exactly what the Boss meant.
The car soon entered the Xingcheng community, inevitably attracting some attention.
Once they were back home, Zhou Chao instructed Lin Wu and He Chuan to discuss the details of the situation. Wang Lin had gotten off the car midway and returned to the company to investigate the matter.
Zhou Chao was lying on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly opened his eyes.
“Oh, I’ve been so busy with everything that 1 forgot to tell Jiang Li!” He immediately took out his phone from his pocket and called Jiang Li.
“Hello, Brother Chao, have you finished handling things on your end?”
“Yes, everything is sorted out. Now it’s just a matter of resolving the issue.”
“Is Lin Wu okay? Li Qian’s mood has improved quite a bit now.”
“He’s fine. We’ll come to the hospital later.”
“Okay, I’ll hang up then!” Zhou Chao ended the call and saw Lin Wu and He Chuan coming out of the room.
“How did it go? Is the situation manageable?”
“It’s hard to say. The main issue is the lack of evidence. If there’s new evidence, it could lead to several years of imprisonment for them. If there are witnesses willing to testify, the case will be much simpler.”
“Alright. Contact Wang Lin later and see if he has any progress.”
“I understand, Boss.”
“You can go back for now. Call me anytime if there are any updates.” He Chuan nodded slightly and opened the door to leave.
“Bang!” Zhou Chao suddenly slammed his hand on the table, startling Lin Wu who was nearby.
“Why didn’t you call me immediately? If I hadn’t planned to come to Phoenix in advance, would I even know about it after you were already inside?”
“Boss, I… I didn’t want to bother you.”
“Lin Wu, Lin Wu, you usually seem quite sharp, but when it comes to critical moments, you mess up. If you had ended up in there, what would happen to your father? What about your wife? Are you brainless?” Zhou Chao grew angrier as he spoke, pointing at Lin Wu.
Seeing Lin Wu’s silent expression, Zhou Chao sighed.
“Alright, leave it to me now. Let’s go to the hospital to see your father and wife.” Zhou Chao patted Lin Wu on the shoulder and turned to walk outside.
Lin Wu wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and quickly followed..
