Evidence?
Procedures?
Zhang Defa's face darkened. He definitely didn't have these things.
Asking Huo Bo to bring people to arrest the other party was purely Zhang Defa's whim. To be precise, it was a little willful of power. He wanted to show off in front of Zhao Yanan and teach this kid who openly ignored him a lesson.
However, he never expected that such a young boy would be a county magistrate!
It was like kicking on an iron plate!
"County Magistrate Qin, this is all a misunderstanding. I apologize to you. Let's get over it. Is that okay?"
Zhang Defa's tone was a little humble. Even the way he addressed Qin Mu changed from "you" to "you" unconsciously. It was enough to show that Zhang Defa was still a little insecure.
After all, if the other party really wanted to make a fuss, he could report it to the Municipal Party Committee. As the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, he would at least be punished one by one. In serious cases, he would even have to take off his uniform.
Naturally, he had to give in!
"Of course not."
Qin Mu sneered, "Director Zhang is such a joke. You just brought people to arrest me. If I wasn't alert enough or my skills weren't good enough, I would have been arrested and taken away by you just now, right?"
"If I wasn't the county magistrate, wouldn't I have been beaten up?"
"You can get away with it with a light apology now. Don't you overestimate your face?"
This...
Zhang Defa was speechless. The other party's words sounded very reasonable. He had no room for rebuttal!
"Huo Bo, tomorrow morning, I want a copy of the whole process of today's incident and your self-criticism in my office."
Qin Mu looked at Huo Bo and said coldly: "The whole process, the more detailed the better. If you dare to conceal anything, you will bear the consequences!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Bo was shocked!
"County Magistrate Qin, I..."
Huo Bo wanted to explain a few more words, but when he met Qin Mu's eyes, he immediately became timid, lowered his head, and said, "Okay... I'll write it!"
"Let's go."
Qin Mu said something to Zhao Yanan and left the scene directly.
"Do you want me to call Director Li to tell him?"
After walking a distance, Zhao Yanan said first, "Don't let Zhang Defa complain first, then we will lose the opportunity, right?"
Director Li?
This is Li Xianyao, the director of the Municipal Bureau!
With Zhao Yanan's identity, if she calls the other party to tell him, Li Xianyao will definitely choose to believe her instead of Zhang Defa.
The reason is simple. Zhao Yanan's background determines that she doesn't need to lie.
"No need!"
Qin Mu shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I don't really plan to bring Zhang Defa down. It's too much effort."
Ah?
No plan?
Then what I said just now... were all to scare the other party?
Zhao Yanan was stunned and looked at Qin Mu with some doubts, because she didn't expect that Qin Mu didn't even think of asking Zhang Defa to take off his clothes?
It seems a bit abnormal!
"I know that it is most appropriate to remove a person like Zhang Defa from the team."
Qin Mu saw the doubt in Zhao Yanan's eyes and explained immediately: "But it is still difficult to remove a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau based on the things just now, because Zhang Defa can completely use the excuse that he misjudged the person in the dark and violated the regulations because he was in a hurry to catch the criminal."
"Of course, with your and my status, we can probably get Zhang Defa to go away by going to the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Department, but doing so makes you and me a little too ostentatious."
After saying this, Zhao Yanan also understood what Qin Mu meant.
Both of them were transferred from the army, and their backgrounds were not simple. If they made such a fuss, their backgrounds would be exposed to everyone in Jiangzhou.
This is definitely not conducive to their growth!
Moreover, their ranks have not been lowered from the army to the local areas, and they will inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives, which is also easy to attract blackmail.
In the system, the more status and background a person has, the more low-key they are, and they will never be too ostentatious. People who are too arrogant and domineering will only be more likely to get into trouble.
"But you just said something harsh. If you don't do that, will Zhang Defa look down on you? What if he makes trouble again in the future?"
Zhao Yanan asked with some concern.
"If you say something harsh, it means that Zhang Defa will ask Guan Xin to intercede."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Guess who he is calling now?"
"Who?"
Zhao Yanan looked at Qin Mu's slightly relaxed look, and immediately became interested and asked curiously.
"If I'm right, I'll definitely ask Director Li for help."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Defa is the deputy director. To a certain extent, he represents the image of the Municipal Bureau. This kind of thing has been exposed and it's already a scandal. Ask Director Li to ask for mercy. If Director Li comes to me to ask for mercy, there will always be a turnaround!"
"I understand."
Zhao Yanan suddenly realized, "Looking for Director Li is to protect the reputation of the Municipal Bureau. After all, we are in the same system. Director Li can't just stand by and watch him die. Even if it's for the reputation of the police force, I have to ask you for mercy!"
"Yes!"
Qin Mu nodded, "With Director Li's intercession, I will give in and give him a chance. Director Li owes me a favor. Do you think this account is worthwhile?"
Good guy!
He really knows how to do business!
Zhao Yanan's eyes were full of surprise. Qin Mu actually thought so much in such a short time just now!
Dealing with Zhang Defa, except for venting their anger, seems to have no benefit. It will only cause trouble in Jiangzhou officialdom, and everyone will know about them, which is not conducive to their growth.
If they can give in a little, they can also have the favor owed by Director Li, which may be useful in the future, which is indeed more appropriate.
"You are so amazing!"
Zhao Yanan said sincerely: "You were so outstanding in the Flying Eagle Brigade, and now you are back to work in the local area, you are still so outstanding!"
"It seems that this outstanding person, no matter where he is, is at ease and relaxed."
As he spoke, Zhao Yanan's eyes were filled with admiration, and there was also a sense of affection in the admiration, obviously looking at his favorite person.
"Hahaha, it's not that exaggerated. I'm just a greenhorn in the officialdom and I need to learn more!"
Qin Mu waved his hand slightly and said, "Shall I take you back to Jiangzhou?"
"No need!"
Zhao Yanan shook his head and said, "I'll just take a taxi."
Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and it was time to go back to Jiangzhou.
Soon, a taxi arrived in front of him.
"Then I'll go back?"
Zhao Yanan said reluctantly. At this time, if Qin Mu could say that he would stay, she would probably agree without hesitation.
Even if they went to Qin Mu's residence or found a hotel outside, she would happily agree.
"Okay, let's get together again next time!"
It's just a pity that Qin Mu did not try to keep her, but nodded in response.
"Ah..."
Zhao Yanan sighed in her heart, but still got in the car and went to the city.
Qin Mu looked at the back of the car with a complicated look in his eyes. How could he not know what Zhao Yanan was thinking?
But he really didn't have any feelings for Zhao Yanan...
If he had any, he would have left Zhao Yanan to go to the hotel. They were both adults, so who wouldn't have some needs?
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Qin Mu's cell phone rang just as he turned around and walked back. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar Jiangzhou local number.
