At 8:45 in the evening, the lights were still on in the director's office.
In the afternoon, Xu Sanye took almost all the blank cartridges and stocked handcuffs from the office and even borrowed a mortar and several boxes of shells from the Armed Forces Department.
One could imagine Xu Sanye was furious, and tonight the river would definitely see a "barrage of bullets and shells."
Director Yang and Commissioner Ding were worried. They feared that once Xu Sanye realized the blank cartridges were useless, he might use live ammunition in his temper, causing bloodshed, which would complicate matters greatly.
The two smoked and waited for news when unexpectedly, Director Wang, who had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, showed up.
"Old Wang, why aren't you resting at home?"
"If I rest more, people will laugh even more."
Director Wang indeed had transferred from Bailong Port Health Center to County People's Hospital, where he stayed for an entire week.
