Special Forces Medic-Chapter 847 - 820: Dead Without a Burial Place

Early in the morning, there was a document on Yao Zheng’s desk, the contents of which nearly made him lose his balance. Had it really wiped out people overnight like this? Unable to believe it, he opened it again, and only after confirming did he slowly place it back on the desk.

"Who put this document on my desk?"

"It was me! Received first thing in the morning." The secretary, seeing Yao Zheng with a stern face, looked blankly at him, unaware of the contents of the package.

"Have you read what’s inside?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"The package was specifically addressed to be received by you personally, so I didn’t open it."

"You may leave." Yao Zheng waved to the new secretary, feeling utterly unable to calm his heart at the moment.

"District Chief Yao!" The secretary hesitated at the door.

"Is there anything else?"

"The City Committee called early, requesting you be at the City Committee Building by one in the afternoon."

"When was this notice given?" Yao Zheng hadn’t recovered from the shock of the document, but the secretary’s following words left him with a bad premonition.

"Before you started working."

"Got it, you may leave now."

The secretary backed out of the office facing Yao Zheng, gently closing the door. He dialed Ye Zi’s phone again, but it was still in shutdown mode. Had they really killed those people? The black folder contained a few photos taken from different angles, their expressions chilling. He knew Ye Zi was under Fourth Master, but she was, after all, a woman who used to be so shy and passionate under him. How could such a fragile woman break into the Sharp Sword Team overnight and quietly kill? Such skills were completely unknown to him.

By eleven in the afternoon, the secretary came to urge Yao Zheng to prepare to depart. Lunch was placed in front of Yao Zheng, but he had no appetite. He notified the driver to wait downstairs, grabbing his bag and hurriedly stepping out the office door, feeling that this might be his last time appearing here.

As soon as Yao Zheng’s car appeared below the City Committee Building, Wu Mian was already waiting in the underground parking with his team.

"Director Wu, what’s this supposed to mean?" Yao Zheng, stepping out of the car, saw Wu Mian and his team sporting stern expressions that didn’t seem like they were there to greet him.

"Are you Yao Zheng? The North District Chief Yao Zheng?" Wu Mian ignored Yao Zheng’s question and formally asked about his identity.

"I am Yao Zheng, what’s your game here?"

"Arrest him!" Wu Mian signaled to his men, who surrounded and pressed Yao Zheng against the car roof and cuffed him.

"Wu, you better explain what this means!" Yao Zheng struggled against the car hood.

"Yao Zheng, now you’re being detained under accusations of corruption, embezzlement, contract murder, among other charges!" Wu Mian read out the charges in front of Yao Zheng. "No bail is allowed."

"I want to file a complaint!"

"You wish to see Secretary Hua, but it’s too late!"

"No, it’s not too late. I’m here today to clear up these things, it’s all that woman’s nonsense I..."

"Take him away!" Wu Mian unhesitatingly pushed Yao Zheng into the police car. "Remember not to discuss this matter with anyone."

"Understood, Director Wu!" Wu Mian patted the car roof, and the car left upon receiving orders.

Returning to Hua Muyun’s office, Wu Mian exhaled. "All done?"

"The person has been brought back to the police station!"

"Hmm, manage him for a few days before proceeding, who do you think should be suitable for the position at the North District Police Station?" Hua Muyun leaned back on the sofa, feeling like a curtain had dropped, though the follow-up handling needs his intervention.

"If Secretary Hua has no objection, I’d suggest following Young Master Hua’s idea. I noticed the people from the North District Police Station are quite good. I’ve investigated Xu Ming, he’s a clean person, has a good reputation at his work post, though he didn’t contribute significantly to the North District case, his detail handling was quite satisfactory. It’s evident the few lads he’s trained are promising." Wu Mian thought about it, though he wasn’t deeply acquainted with Xu Ming.

"Would using someone without experience be unacceptable?" Hua Muyun hesitated over Qing Yi’s hasty decision. A police station director isn’t as simple as a precinct chief; what they face are different matters, social etiquette is indispensable. Xu Ming left an impression more of a roughneck, unfit for the position.

"Isn’t there a probation period? First, see his capability, if it’s viable, you achieve Qing Yi’s intention, if not, then remove him, he won’t mind, isn’t this a win-win situation?" Wu Mian suggested to Hua Muyun. "North District is currently leaderless, someone has to come forward to moderate things. The district chief position is tough to arrange."

"Those two brats thought it out before acting, take a look at the plans they first submitted." Hua Muyun handed Wu Mian a stack of files that had been crumpled time and again.

"I bet Secretary Hua has really worried over this!" Seeing the files worn from repeated handling, it’s apparent the secretary’s contemplative effort is substantial.

"Young people’s boldness is really beyond us old folks’ understanding." Hua Muyun sighed. He wasn’t rushing to his answer, and only after Wu Mian finished perusing the last page did he speak. "What do you think?"

Wu Mian raised his head and sighed deeply. "Secretary Hua, do you want the truth or a lie?"

"Speak your mind directly."

"An overnight wipeout of a district isn’t realistic; this proves Young Master Hua needs more political seasoning, but it’s not impossible, as long as the structural planning is sent centrally for approval, it can naturally become reality, though it takes time to wait."

"Are you agreeing with this plan?"

"Not agreeing completely, just considering the feasibility high."

"Don’t dodge the question, Wu. Save that lazy tone for others."

"Fine, Secretary Hua, I’ll be forthright." Wu Mian sat upright. "The North District now is like a house hollowed out by worms, pour water in, and it’ll flow through the holes. If intending to seal these holes with cement, it’ll consume much time, manpower, and funds; even then, achieving one hundred percent isn’t certain. If so, wouldn’t it be better to demolish the house and rebuild one more suitable for us?"

Hua Muyun pondered, finding Wu Mian reasonable. "Why did I suggest adopting Young Master Hua’s plan to position Xu Ming as North District Police Station Director? Firstly, he’s a complete newcomer, upon initial ascent he’ll act to prove his value. He’s a veteran policeman, always on the fringes in minor traffic roles, given the chance, he’ll perform. Entrusting such a worm-eaten North District to him will help us suppress those intending to seize opportunity for robbery and arson."

"Hmm, makes sense, go on." Hua Muyun, thinking through matters, gained new insights into Hua Qingyi’s strategy.

"Although Yao Zheng is captured, there’s a major figure yet to surface. Sending a high-ranking official now might lead to either recruitment or elimination. In his plan, Qing Yi referenced an example to deter others, his intent likely isn’t targeting those still in power. I see his implication as uprooting all connected figures, be they minor or major, thus opening many positions, this can address the North District’s unemployment rate issue."

"Giving young people a chance?"

"That’s the second plan Young Master Hua mentioned, haven’t we always discussed competitive staffing? If the North District is to prosper, new energy is essential."

"You see through things vividly, Wu!" Hua Muyun suddenly laughed, perhaps earlier he harbored hesitation, but now he’s come to a realization. Different times, distinct practices, he can’t judge Hua Qingyi’s methodology by his own standards.

"Let’s tidy up, and pay a visit to our dear District Chief Yao. I believe things have already begun over there."

"Is Secretary Luo coming with us?"

"He has other tasks, it’ll just be the two of us, I believe Yao Zheng would very much like to see me now."

"Yes, Secretary Hua."

Transferred to the police station, Yao Zheng was escorted directly to the interrogation room. To his shock, the person seated opposite him was none other than Brother Guang, who frequently wandered around Ji Weihua’s office, now assumed the standard military posture in the lead interrogator’s seat. The black-framed glasses on his nose had long vanished, replaced by rimless resin glasses.

"Why is it you, weren’t you Ji Weihua’s..."

"District Chief Yao wants to refer to Director Ji’s lapdog, right?" Brother Guang courteously completed Yao Zheng’s sentence, flashing a polite smile at him. "I’m sorry you have to see me under such circumstances, but I must inform you that today I am your lead interrogator, and your case will be directly handled by me. If needed, we will arrange a suitable lawyer for you, but given the evidence we currently have, you’d best save on lawyer expenses, as your chances of winning are slim."

"Who exactly are you?"

"Me?" Brother Guang pointed at himself, paused for a moment. "Ah! I forgot to introduce myself, I am Guang Lingyi, Chief Prosecutor of the City Prosecution Office!"

"What?" Upon hearing the name, Yao Zheng turned pale with shock. "You are Guang Lingyi?"

"Yes, I’m sorry, falling to my hands means you’ll die without a burial place."
