Maintain justice and fairness

  Dong Degang exchanged a couple of sentences with Tang Zhendong, and then Tang's phone rang again. Dong looked unhappy, but since Tang was still in an abnormal detention phase, he didn't have the authority to confiscate his phone.

  "Master Tang? I'm Wang Xuebin. Master Tang, you're really amazing, too powerful! That first pen of our newspaper just had a stroke while working, his mouth and eyes are crooked, obviously he can't compete with me anymore. Master Tang, thank you so much."

  Wang Xuebin was chattering non-stop on the phone, apparently this result made him both excited and expectant. What excited him was that this result was absolutely unexpected for Wang Xuebin, a normal person suddenly became the editor-in-chief at this critical moment? The timing was also too coincidental, which gave Wang Xuebin extreme confidence in Tang Zhendong's charm.

  Two obstacles that were in front of him for the position of editor-in-chief have been removed, and he has risen from third to second. However, with the first rod gone, there is still another one with a strong connection to the propaganda department, Wang Xuebin doesn't know how to deal with the curse given by Tang Zhendong.

  If previously Wang Xuebin regarded Tang Zhendong as the last straw to save his life, now he has become a savior in Wang's heart. With one of the two giants who blocked his way to the editor-in-chief position gone, and the other still there, how would he react? Wang Xuebin was extremely excited and couldn't help but call Tang Zhendong to share his thrilling emotions.

  "Director Wang, don't be in a hurry, I'm not convenient to talk now, I'm visiting the South City Branch Bureau!"

  Dong De's face was not happy, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, what kind of place is this? You answer the phone without even looking at the time or location. Letting you answer the phone is already a favor to you, are you still not satisfied?"

  Tang Zhendong glanced at Dong De and said faintly, "Director Wang, I have something to attend to here, so I'll hang up for now. Let's talk again later."

  "Hmph, no discipline, no sense of propriety." Dong De let out a cold snort.

  On the other end of the phone, Wang Xuebin happened to hear Dong De's cold hum before Tang Zhendong hung up the phone. He immediately took his press card and drove to the Chengnan Branch Bureau.

  When Wang Xuebin arrived at the Nancheng police station, he saw six or seven thugs yelling in the hall, "What crime did Tang Zhendong commit? Why aren't you letting us visit him? You're using violent law enforcement, we ordinary people won't accept it."

  This group of people who were shouting and yelling were actually Wang Meng's brothers, whom he had brought with him. After Wang Meng was released from prison, there were several young hooligans in the neighborhood who used to hang out with him before, and they all got together again. Wang Meng took these little brothers along and started selling apples on a large scale when they had nothing better to do.

  These several young men have two from Wang Meng's village, and a few are those whom Wang Meng brought with him before he went to prison. These people only look up to Wang Meng as their leader.

  After Wang Meng finished the phone call with Tang Zhendong, Deputy Captain Dong De's voice from the Chengnan Branch Bureau reached Wang Meng's ears. He immediately realized that Tang Zhendong had been taken away by the Public Security Bureau. Wang Meng was a very righteous person. As soon as he heard that Tang Zhendong was at the police station, he immediately put down his business with his brothers and took a car to the Chengnan Branch Bureau.

  But unexpectedly, when Wang Meng and others arrived here, they were not allowed to enter, and the other party did not acknowledge that there was such a person. Although Wang Meng had an urge to smash someone, he was not a child, he knew this was not his place to be reckless, he had already entered once before, so he was much more calm and composed.

  Just as Wang Meng was asking, a young man wearing glasses suddenly came over and said, "Are you looking for Tang Zhendong? I'm his younger brother."

  This man is Liu Zhongshu. After Tang Zhendong was re-arrested, Liu Zhongshu had been waiting here all along. He didn't know what crime Tang Zhendong committed or when he would be released. So he could only wait here.

  But unexpectedly, he just waited for the arrival of Wang Meng, a big Han who came to consult about Tang Zhendong's situation. Wang Meng was rough in appearance, tall and large in stature, with ferocious tattoos on his neck that made people know at first glance that he wasn't a good person. However, his anxious expression was evident.

  Liu Zhongshu dared to approach and chat with Wang Meng precisely because he saw this expression on Wang Meng's face.

  Liu Zhongshu told Wang Meng that he and Tang Zhendong had been arrested again after paying the fine, but didn't know why. Wang Meng immediately realized that it was possible that the person they beat had found connections and wouldn't let go, or that they had discovered some other crime of Tang's. However, based on what Wang Meng knew about Tang, this possibility was extremely low. The most likely explanation was still that the person they beat had found new connections.

  So Wang Meng pretended to be a good citizen and shouted loudly for Tang Zhendong outside the police station. Anyway, after Wang Meng was released from prison, apart from cheating and bullying in the market, he didn't have any other evil deeds, which can't be considered a crime, not enough to be punished by law, at most it's just a public security punishment, and at most he would be fined.

  Just as Wang Meng and others were making a scene at the police station gate, Wang Xuebin, director of the editing department of Haicheng Daily, also arrived.

  Wang Xuebin has been engaged in news publishing work for more than 20 years, and he is extremely sensitive to the selling points and sensitivity of news. He has always admired Tang Zhendong, who was a great help when Wang was promoted to editor-in-chief of the newspaper. As soon as Wang heard that Tang had been detained at the South City Branch Bureau, he rushed over without stopping his horse.

  Wang Xuebin immediately positioned the noisy crowd led by Wang Meng as ordinary people, although they had obvious social characteristics on their heads, faces and clothing, but were selectively ignored by Wang Xuebin. He immediately formulated the best strategy to rescue Tang Zhendong: winning over the hearts of the people.

  Thinking of this, Wang Xuebin stepped forward without hesitation and walked to the front of Wang Meng. "Sir, hello! I am a reporter from Haicheng Daily News. May I ask what's going on here?"

  Wang Meng is also a thoughtful person. After struggling in society for so many years, he naturally knows what can be used as his own leverage.

  "Comrade journalist, hello. I'm just an ordinary citizen. This is what happened," Wang Meng added fuel to the fire and told Wang Xuebin everything he knew about the situation. Finally, "Comrade journalist, please stand up for us, the people. The Public Security Bureau can't bully people like this, can they? They've already handled the case, but then they go and arrest him again."

  Wang Xuebin immediately formed a rough outline of the events last night and the situation at the police station today in his mind. Although he was not present at the scene, his speculation was surprisingly accurate, especially when Wang Meng pulled out Liu Zhongshu, Wang Xuebin became even more convinced without any doubt.

  "Alright, don't worry, I'll go in and negotiate, for everyone, and to uphold justice." Wang Xuebin strode into the office building of the South City Branch Bureau.
