Although Li Yingfa appeared normal on the surface, he knew he was guilty.
While answering, he cautiously watched Director Lu.
Unbeknownst to him, Director Lu was an expert at observing people, and he could already see the trickery from Li Yingfa's subtle expressions.
"Deputy Director Li's words have merit. Then let's bring the witnesses over, and I will listen personally." Su Dan Novel Network
Director Lu spoke and moved a stool to sit in the shade.
It didn't matter to him sitting in the shade, but in the small courtyard, the shaded spots were limited.
Others inevitably had to stand in the scorching sun.
It was one thing for others, but Li Yingfa, who was originally obese and couldn't stand the heat, felt like he was about to faint after standing in the sun for only two or three minutes.
But since Director Lu wanted to see the witnesses, he could only arrange to invite them.
After making the arrangements, he saw that Director Lu was still motionless, so he cautiously offered a smile and said, "Director Lu, it's quite hot outside. Why don't we go inside for a cup of tea?"
"I think it's fine. Let's wait outside. It's too crowded and the air is bad inside!"
That sentence almost made Li Yingfa furious.
What did he mean by crowded and bad air?
Couldn't he just not let others in?
With only him and Director Lu, how could the air be bad?
But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only continue to stand there with a bitter expression.
Chi Yiyuan stood not far behind Director Lu, also in a shaded spot, enjoying himself.
Before long, two police officers entered the police station with two young women.
Chi Yiyuan saw clearly that these two were the same girls who were harassed by Yao Wu and his group last night.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.
No wonder Yao Wu was so brazen; he had already found these two to be his witnesses.
Even if he hadn't studied law, the testimony of these two as parties involved was very important.
Last night, he thought these two girls were decent, but today they were testifying for their tormentor.
If this continued, he wondered if anyone would still be willing to help others in this world.
When the two girls entered through the main gate, they both saw Chi Yiyuan.
They knew, of course, that Chi Yiyuan was the one who helped them yesterday.
Without the help of this young man and the incredibly beautiful young girl, they couldn't even imagine what would have happened to them last night.
However, just last night, Yao Wu's men found them.
They were threatened and lured, told that if they dared not testify according to his wishes, they would be ruined and have nowhere to go, and that their families would also be in trouble.
It had to be said that such coercion was indeed fatal to two young girls who were new to the world.
Although they were unwilling, they reluctantly agreed to testify.
"Sister Ying, what should we do?" asked the younger girl.
She really didn't want to harm others. That young man got into trouble to help them. If they testified according to Yao Wu's wishes, wouldn't that be harming him?
The person who helped them would probably be disheartened.
Also, from last night, they heard that Yao Wu seemed to have taken a liking to that incredibly beautiful young girl, and they were asked to give false testimony for her.
The taller, older girl said in a low voice, "Let's tell the truth. We can't hurt others just because we're afraid of being hurt ourselves!"
As the girl said this, her eyes were already filled with determination.
Even though not following Yao Wu's instructions might lead to unimaginable harm and pain for them, if they followed Yao Wu's words, that beautiful young girl and this young man in front of them would not have a good outcome.
Chi Yiyuan actually didn't have high hopes for these two girls.
People tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain.
Yao Wu could be so brazen in having these two girls testify; he must have done a lot of work.
Director Lu looked at the two girls and, seeing their apprehensive expressions, knew that the reason they were there to testify was not simple.
"What are your names?"
Before Li Yingfa could speak, Director Lu asked first.
Director Lu's originally stern demeanor frightened the two girls.
But they still spoke tremblingly.
"My name is Xu Ziying, and her name is Li Xiuhe. We finished shopping yesterday and then ate at the night market..."
Although they were scared, and their voices trembled slightly as they spoke, Xu Ziying's account was very clear. She recounted the events step by step.
Halfway through her story, Li Yingfa clearly felt something was wrong.
That bastard Yao Wu was really unreliable. Was this what he meant by "everything was arranged"?
These two girls weren't testifying for him; they were clearly here to get him killed!
Thinking of his little darling at home, Li Yingfa immediately decided that he absolutely could not let the two girls continue speaking.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I advise you to speak properly, and don't forget that your parents want you to be upright people!"
Suddenly interrupted, Xu Ziying's fragile confidence collapsed.
She looked bewildered and frightened, not daring to continue speaking.
"Li Yingfa, this is all leftovers from others. Don't think I don't understand!" Director Lu became even more angry.
Threatening witnesses in front of him like this showed how recklessly he behaved in normal times.
Chi Yiyuan was actually shocked at this moment.
He had previously thought that these two girls would surely succumb to reality and choose to protect themselves.
He hadn't expected these two girls to suddenly turn against them!
With the two girls saying such things in front of Director Lu, even if Li Yingfa and Yao Wu were the most arrogant, they would have a lot to deal with.
Li Yingfa quickly bowed his fat body and cautiously offered a smile to Director Lu.
"Director Lu, you misunderstand me. I didn't mean to threaten the witnesses. I just saw that the two girls were young and wanted to advise them!"
"You shut up. If you speak again, don't blame me!"
In fact, according to Director Lu's character, although he was strong, he would certainly not treat a subordinate as less than human.
Even if this person was truly inhuman, he would still show due respect.
But Li Yingfa, accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing, naturally assumed Director Lu was the same.
After Director Lu said this, Li Yingfa was instantly scared and dared not speak again.
Although he wanted to get Yao Wu out, if it was impossible, he could only give up on Yao Wu to protect himself.
After all, only by protecting himself could he ensure Yao Wu's safety.
He stopped speaking, and Director Lu comforted the two girls again, after which they continued.
The more Director Lu listened, the darker his expression became, and the more sweat beaded on Li Yingfa's forehead.
He was already thinking about how to extricate himself from this matter.
"Director Lu, I am wronged. I don't know this Yao Wu well; we just know each other. I really didn't know he would commit so many wicked deeds."
"You don't know him well?" Director Lu snorted.
Since he came to handle this matter, he would not act without preparation and had used the short time to understand the situation.
The relationship between Yao Wu and Li Yingfa was not simple.
He had heard people say a few days ago that Li Yingfa was causing trouble at home for his illegitimate son, and his wife and daughter were almost driven to their deaths by him.
This matter would be dealt with together today.
There could be no scum like that in the police force!
Li Yingfa didn't know that Director Lu was preparing to deal with him completely. He was still thinking about how to get Yao Wu out after a few days when the situation calmed down, once he had protected himself.
Li Yingfa would never live to see that day.
The illegal and disciplinary actions Li Yingfa had committed in the past, and the things Yao Wu had done by relying on him as his so-called brother-in-law, were all brought to light.
Even the matter of Li Yingfa keeping a mistress and having a son outside, and buying a house for his mistress, were all revealed.
Not only that, but Director Lu, when he made up his mind to do something, could really dig deep, and even the people behind Li Yingfa were found.
Starting from Li Yingfa, many rotten apples within the system were implicated.
Chen Zi'an specifically arranged for these evil forces' protective umbrellas to be cleared out, and every one found would be punished.
Some people advised Chen Zi'an not to provoke these people since he was about to be transferred, and it would be bad if he faced retaliation.
However, Chen Zi'an had a strong personality. It was precisely because he was about to be transferred that he intended to clear out all these evils, leaving a peaceful Licheng for his successor.
He did not want the local people to point fingers at him when they spoke of him after he left.
A swan leaves its voice, and a person leaves their name. He was a person who valued his reputation.
Chi Yiyuan didn't care about these things. He only cared that Su Xiaotian was leaving Licheng to return to the capital again, and it would be a long time before he could return to the capital.
The two young people were reluctant to part.
Another person who was reluctant to part was young Chen Xiuyuan.
Chen Xiuyuan had liked Su Xiaotian since he was a child. From the moment he was born, he was exceptionally well-behaved and obedient when he saw Su Xiaotian, and it was still the same now.
When they were young, the siblings saw each other often, but in recent years, they had met very rarely.
Su Manxiu didn't understand why the little fellow had such deep feelings for Su Xiaotian.
"Be good, Xiuyuan. When the holidays come, will you come to the capital to find your sister? Then, sister will take you to buy fun toys and delicious food!"
Su Xiaotian could only patiently persuade young Chen Xiuyuan.
Chen Xiuyuan also knew that no matter how reluctant he was, his sister had to leave.
Fortunately, his mother said that they would be going to the capital soon, and then they would be able to see his sister again.
Su Xiaotian had perfectly completed this reception task. This time, they had facilitated several important cooperation projects between the visiting delegation and Licheng.
The leaders were extremely pleased and rewarded Su Xiaotian and others with three days of rest.
Su Xiaotian rested at home for a day, recovering from the fatigue of the past period, and then enthusiastically went to the factory.
Years had passed, and the Lu Xiangxiang processing plant in the capital was no longer the small factory it was when it was first built.
The scale of the processing plant had been repeatedly expanded, and it now had eight production lines.
Even so, the products processed were still in short supply.
After all, food that could be exported abroad was naturally regarded more highly by domestic consumers.
Not to mention that Lu Xiangxiang's products tasted incredibly good.
Recently, Lei Gaochao reported to Su Xiaotian that he planned to add two more production lines specifically for producing ham sausages.
Su Xiaotian thought this was a good idea, and she also provided Lei Gaochao with some direction, asking him to lead the team in research.
Ham sausages would be a timeless product for decades to come, very popular with consumers.
Moreover, there were many types of ham sausages, not just pork sausages.
When she went to the processing plant this time, as soon as she entered, she heard that the research department had successfully developed a finished ham sausage.
Lei Gaochao was very happy. Just as he was about to call Su Xiaotian to report the good news, he saw Su Xiaotian appear at the factory.
"Boss, did you come specifically to celebrate with us because you knew there was good news at the factory?"
When Lei Gaochao saw Su Xiaotian, he was extremely excited and made a teasing remark out of character.
"Then I should first congratulate Director Lei." Su Xiaotian also responded to Lei Gaochao with a smile.
Lei Gaochao quickly said, "I should congratulate the boss!"
"Let's not congratulate each other like this. Let's look at the product first. If there are no problems with the product, it can be put on the market."
Su Xiaotian had memories from her previous life. The appearance of ham sausages in her previous life should have been a bit later than now. The first ham sausage should have appeared in Shencheng, but this life was different.
Su Xiaotian felt that seizing this market opportunity would allow Lu Xiangxiang to make a fortune.
"According to the experimental data, mass production is completely fine. Boss, there are some finished products that have just come out. Please taste them and give us some feedback!"
As Lei Gaochao spoke, he had already asked someone to bring the freshly made ham sausages.
In her previous life, due to poverty, Su Xiaotian had eaten plenty of instant noodles and ham sausages.
But in this life, this was the first ham sausage.
It had to be said that this ham sausage was real.
The meat particles inside were very distinct, it was very chewy and elastic, and the taste was also good, conforming to Lu Xiangxiang's consistent philosophy of quality first.
"Not bad, the taste is very good. However, the variety is a bit limited now. If more flavors can be developed, it will definitely better meet market demand." Su Xiaotian praised without reservation after tasting it.
All the preparatory work for the instant noodle factory had also been completed, and mass production would begin next month.
Instant noodles with ham sausages, plus a braised egg, would definitely become essential for home travel!
Su Xiaotian had already thought of it. Future promotions should mainly focus on that aspect.
However, although such a set meal was good, the target audience was still relatively small, and the market needed to be further expanded.
In the past two years, people's living standards had improved significantly, and she believed that many people would be willing to spend money to improve their lives.
If these people could be gathered around Lu Xiangxiang, it was hard to imagine how prosperous the future development would be!
