Chapter 214 Arrest!
Dawei smiled and got up to greet him, gesturing to Zhao Kui to make a cup of tea.
"Secretary Xiangzhang, please have a seat."
Dawei spread his hands, gesturing for the absent-minded Zhou Xiangzhang to sit down.
Zhao Kui quickly brought over a cup of Longjing tea.
Dawei noticed that Zhou Xiangzhang's expression was very strange, and it seemed that something important had happened. So he immediately instructed Zhao Kui, "I need to talk to Secretary Xiangzhang about something. Don't let anyone disturb us."
"Eh."
Zhao Kui closed the blinds, stepped back out of the office, and closed the door.
Inside, the air conditioner was blowing out cool air.
Zhou Xiangzhang, with a cigarette between his fingers, took a few sips of tea.
David sat there naturally, staring intently at him with a smile playing on his lips. He wouldn't take the initiative to ask any questions.
Whoever comes to the door is the weaker one.
Whoever speaks first is the weaker one.
Zhou Xiangzhang put down her teacup, blinked rapidly, and her lips trembled slightly as she spoke, "County Magistrate Chen... isn't that enough?"
"Huh?" David shrugged, puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
"I didn't say anything when Xiao Lili and Yao Zhan took their positions. Now, including you, you already have three people in the five-person group. That's about right..."
Dawei chuckled: "Secretary Xiangzhang, would you like to hear what you're saying?"
Personnel changes in the county organization department and the county discipline inspection commission are matters decided by the organization.
What does this have to do with me?
What does it have to do with you?
The way you're talking makes it sound like Yuanshan County is someone's private backyard, and Xiao Lili and Comrade Yao Zhan are someone's servants.
Zhou Xiangzhang's eyes were vacant: "If you're still not satisfied, I can give up my position as county party secretary. I'll resign, okay?"
This is an attempt to continue offering conditions in exchange for Dawei letting Zhou Dongliang go.
"Secretary Xiangzhang, I don't know what you're talking about."
If you have any complaints about me, you can just say so.
Why say such hurtful things?
Dawei also tried to evade the question.
If the other party doesn't tell the truth, his reply will also be repetitive.
Seeing that Dawei was unmoved by reason, Zhou Xiangzhang was at her wit's end. Her eyes turned red with anxiety. She checked the blinds again to make sure the window was closed.
He slowly got up.
David's gaze followed Zhou Xiangzhang's movements.
Zhou Xiangzhang turned around to face Dawei...
suddenly.
Zhou Xiangzhang slowly lowered her body, simultaneously pushing herself up with her hands on the ground, and knelt gracefully in front of Dawei.
Yes.
He knelt down.
Dawei's head buzzed. He had imagined many things that Zhou Xiangzhang would look like after her defeat, but he never expected it to be like this.
He actually knelt down?
Dawei forced himself to remain calm, gripping the sofa armrests tightly with both hands, his eyes gradually hardening.
"you--"
"Dawei..." Zhou Xiangzhang's voice trembled with tears: "Please let Adong go."
I'm kneeling down before you, I beg you, please spare Dongliang.
No matter what, it's all my fault as the father.
If you want to punish someone, punish me. I'll take the blame, no matter how big the crime.
Let him off the hook.
He can't go to jail.
I'm begging you, please, David?
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Zhou Xiangzhang seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, gazing longingly at Dawei.
David's gaze shifted from stern to mocking, and he stood up, taking two steps back to make room.
then.
Dawei also knelt down before Zhou Xiangzhang.
He knelt down with great determination and resolve.
An extremely strange and rare scene unfolded in the county magistrate's office.
Two influential figures from Yuanshan County actually knelt down and bowed to each other.
Zhou Xiangzhang was stunned: "You, what are you doing...?"
"Kneeling down, is that something to be proud of?"
David's voice was unusually cold and powerful, each word seemingly carrying immense force.
Yeah, what's so great about kneeling?
Can't David kneel?
In the past, Zhou Xiangzhang did countless heinous things.
Suppressing Dawei, even arranging a car accident to harm Dawei's mother, and the assassination attempt during his research trip to Xiaotang Town...
Did Zhou Xiangzhang really think he could just kneel down and let it all go?
David would absolutely not agree.
Since we've already started, we should go all out and destroy them.
Dawei didn't forget what his godfather, Old Wang, had said: either don't move, or if you do, make sure the other person is dealt with properly and never give them a chance to fight back.
The fist has already been thrown.
Zheng Zhiguo and others were risking their lives outside, so how could he, the county magistrate who was directing from behind the scenes, lose heart?
"Dawei, what do you mean by this?"
Please don't do this...
Zhou Xiangzhang went to help him up.
David forcefully pulled his hand away.
"Don't touch me. I'm just asking you, is kneeling something to be proud of?"
"No, no... I'm confessing to you."
"Repentance?" David laughed. "This kind of repentance is meaningless. Look, I can kneel too, can't I?"
Zhou Xiangzhang used up all his courage and exhausted all his pride to kneel down, but he got nothing in return. He felt deeply humiliated and stood up, leaning on the table for support.
David also got up, patted his pants, and sat down again.
Zhou Xiangzhang remained standing: "Are you determined to push me to the brink, huh?"
"I am an educated person, I have a conscience, I have morals, and I adhere to the bottom line—I act in accordance with laws and regulations, and I have never forced anyone."
Zhou Xiangzhang's lips twitched wildly; he had quite the sharp tongue.
"I'll back down. Whatever resources you need, I'll provide them. As long as it's within my power, I'll fulfill your request," Zhou Xiangzhang offered again.
"Hahaha..." Dawei laughed wildly a few times: "Secretary Xiangzhang, if there's nothing else, please leave."
I still have a lot of work to do.
Don't come to me with what crime your son committed; it's useless.
You can hire a lawyer for him. Trust our judicial system; they will never wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a guilty person go free.
It's all just polite talk; it's a way of telling people to leave and that they don't want to talk.
No matter what conditions Zhou Xiangzhang offered, he didn't want to discuss them.
David had only one thought in mind: he wanted him dead!
David won't tell him that.
Zhou Xiangzhang slowly turned around, said nothing more, and walked out of Dawei's office with a slightly hunched back.
Zhao Kui, who was in the small office next door, saw him pass by and came out of his room to greet Zhou Xiangzhang: "Secretary Xiangzhang, take care."
Zhao Kui shouted loudly, and Wu Maocai from another office came out when he heard the noise. When he saw the distraught Zhou Xiangzhang, a smile appeared on his lips.
David received a text message from Zheng Zhiguo.
"County Magistrate, we've obtained Xiuxiu's confession. Should we arrest Zhou Dongliang immediately?"
"Grasp!"
David replied immediately.
