With a cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth, Officer Hong was puffing away at himself, his expression looking very embarrassed.
"Captain, please say something..."
I was so anxious that I couldn't sit still.
Compared to Xue Yun's calmness, Wang Meng kept pacing back and forth and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did the superiors say? Does it mean that Xue Yun is really going to be detained?!"
"That's not a big deal, after all, this kid didn't break the law."
Slowly blow out a wisp of smoke.
With veins popping out on his forehead, Officer Hong gritted his teeth and said, "However, I personally think it would be better to arrest him directly to avoid making people angry!"
The two looked at each other, both of them confused.
In the middle of the night, Officer Hong came personally, which is enough to show that the situation has developed out of control.
"Officer Hong, if you have something to say, just say it."
Smile calmly.
Xue Yun said straight to the point: "As of now, no matter what the outcome is, I can bear it. The worst that can happen is that I will be held civilly liable."
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you are not afraid of lice.
Got into a lot of trouble and lost most of his memory.
Already deeply disappointed with such a world, Xue Yun felt that he was unlucky enough.
The result is that no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?!
"The thing is like this..."
Pick up the teacup in front of you.
Officer Hong raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, and finally explained all the instructions from above.
In view of the continued fermentation of the "hot pot restaurant beating incident".
The higher-ups could no longer bear the tremendous pressure, especially when the main criminal was on the run and the victim was seriously injured and died in the ward.
All the focus of public opinion naturally fell on Xue Yun.
Fueled by unscrupulous media, mainstream people are full of hostility towards it.
Everyone generally believes that it was Xue Yun's impulsiveness and recklessness at that time that caused the situation to escalate. If he had not taken the initiative, the tragedy might not have happened.
then.
After discussion, the superiors unanimously decided to send Officer Hong to persuade Xue Yun and let him attend the press conference held by the government tomorrow morning.
In front of people from all walks of life and the media, he made a public apology in person and admitted his mistakes and responsibilities in this matter, so as to calm the family members' grievances and public anger.
"I'll go, it's too much!"
He rubbed his forehead.
The corners of Wang Meng's mouth twitched and he said: "What's the difference between this and a public execution? Those crazy family members are not good people. They might tear this kid into pieces on the spot!"
"Not only that, but also the media..."
He took a puff of his cigar silently.
Officer Hong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Those turtle bastards are best at taking quotes out of context and adding fuel to the fire. As long as they accidentally say the wrong thing, these guys will make a fuss out of a molehill, and then start to spread the word and expand public opinion.
Use this to gain traffic attention..."
He raised his head and glanced at Xue Yun.
Officer Hong said with worry on his face: "When that time comes, I'm afraid I'll lose my wife and lose my troops. Not only will the matter not be properly resolved, but there will be another dispute."
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
Angry family members and people are just tools to be used.
What is really scary are the scumbags who hide in the dark and make trouble.
"What a bully!"
He slapped the table hard.
Wang Meng frowned and yelled at Xue Yun: "Listen to me, buddy, don't participate in this bullshit press conference. Those people above obviously want you to take the blame. You can live here with me. I love living here."
Stay as long as you want!”
Hear the words.
Officer Hong on the side remained silent, just smoking his cigar.
Emotionally, he couldn't agree with this approach.
A bloody young man took action to fight against injustice. Where did he go wrong?!
However, in terms of status and position, he had to obey the arrangements from above.
After all, in the face of increasingly fierce public opinion, calming down the incident is the most important thing!
"Xue Yun..."
The cigarette ashes flicked off the fingertips.
Officer Hong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, you can choose not to come forward. The worst is..."
"No, I want to come forward." Xue Yun said firmly.
Startled violently.
Officer Hong and Wang Meng were stunned on the spot, and almost thought they were hallucinating.
"Escape is not the solution to the problem."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xue Yun's eyes were bright and he said frankly: "Things have developed to this point. Instead of hiding and being timid, it is better to face it calmly."
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Officer Hong and Wang Meng looked at each other, feeling that Xue Yun was suffering from the sequelae of concussion again, causing pathological confusion in his thinking.
"You have to think clearly, this is no joke."
Put out the cigar in your hand.
Officer Hong persuaded him nicely: "In that kind of situation, even a public figure with a professional public relations team behind him may not be able to handle it. You are just an ordinary person, are you sure you can bear it?"
In full public view, he was besieged by angry family members and the media with ulterior motives.
This kind of pressure is a hundred times more terrifying than imagined.
People who are slightly lacking in psychological quality may have a nervous breakdown on the spot.
"So what?"
Lift your chin.
Xue Yun said bluntly: "Who said ordinary people can't be on the stage? Don't worry, I have thought about it clearly and will use tomorrow's press conference to put a complete end to it."
Seeing the other party being so persistent.
Officer Hong raised his head and let out a long sigh. It was hard to say anything else. After all, his identity was here, and too many words would only attract criticism.
The three of them chatted for a while.
The content is probably all about the details of tomorrow morning's press conference.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Officer Hong then stood up to say goodbye to the two of them, and agreed to drive to pick them up for the meeting in six hours.
Before leaving, this middle-aged man who looked exactly like Bei Gong Mu looked at Xue Yun again for a while.
In the end, he just choked out a few simple words: "Go to bed early."
There are obviously many things that I want to say, but I still can't.
This is probably the tacit understanding and bond between people.
A night of silence.
In the early morning, the first ray of dazzling sunlight sneaked into the living room through the gap in the curtains.
The sleepy Wang Meng yawned and walked out of the room.
But he was shocked to find that the simple bed on the sofa in the living room had already been packed back to its original appearance.
A lonely figure was standing by the window, silently looking at the city filled with tall buildings.
"Good guy, you haven't slept a wink all night, right?" Wang Meng asked in surprise.
Narrowing his eyes slightly.
Xue Yun looked directly at the rising sun, feeling inexplicably smooth and transparent in his heart.
"Let's go, don't keep Officer Hong waiting..."
He looked back and grinned.
With determination between his brows, Xue Yun nodded and said, "It's time to bring this terrible thing to a perfect end."
