116: Qin Zeming: We must protect the steel plant!

“Hello, this is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Who is this, please?”

Rabbit Country Foreign Ministry.

Minister’s Office.

Foreign Minister Qin Zeming answered the ringing phone, introducing himself.

“Hello, Minister Qin, I’m Liu Guodong. The detailed account of the incident you requested has been recorded. Would you like me to read it to you?”

Foreign Minister Qin Zeming responded, “Please tell me.”

“Alright…”

Not long after.

The full cause and effect of the entire incident were laid out before Foreign Minister Qin Zeming as Liu Guodong narrated.

During the narration, Liu Guodong particularly emphasized the parts that aroused public anger, and also mentioned the arrogant and abusive words spoken by the two Foreign men during their interrogation.

Foreign Minister Qin Zeming frowned throughout the entire listening process.

Even he, with his usually good temper, couldn't help but feel enraged upon hearing those vulgar insults directed at the country and its women.

He was certain that the words spoken by the two Foreign men would provoke anyone’s anger. No wonder they were ganged up on; it would be strange if such people weren't beaten!

At this moment, Foreign Minister Qin Zeming just wanted to shout, “Well done, splendidly done!”

After Liu Guodong finished recounting the entire incident, Foreign Minister Qin Zeming immediately characterized the matter:

“These people are acting like big shots, and they dared to do it at Guo Li Steel Factory. They deserved it!

Comrade Liu Guodong, you did an excellent job.

We must round up all these bad guys who threaten the Steel Factory’s production.

We absolutely cannot let these people jeopardize the normal production of the enterprise!

Guo Li Steel Factory is the future of our country.

Its emergence signifies that our country has taken a significant step towards modernization.

For such an enterprise, we must act as gatekeepers.

We must not let some people with ulterior motives undermine the enterprise’s enthusiasm for production and research!

If possible, you should assign people specifically to protect the safety of the entrepreneurs and their families, just in case.”

…

On the other end.

Pingshan County Police Inspector Bureau.

Director’s Office.

Hearing Foreign Minister Qin Zeming’s words of praise, Liu Guodong’s face broke into a smile.

To be praised by such an important figure was extremely rare.

This also indirectly reflected another matter: the status of Guo Li Steel Factory was definitely more than just the largest enterprise in Pingshan County.

Even a figure like the Minister of Foreign Affairs sided with Guo Li Steel Factory; how many powerful and influential figures stood behind this enterprise?

Furthermore, judging by Foreign Minister Qin Zeming’s tone, it seemed he even intended for them to get closer to Guo Li Steel Factory.

“If that’s truly the case, perhaps I could even get promoted by protecting Guo Li Steel Factory, who knows!”

Thinking of this, Liu Guodong’s spirits couldn’t help but soar.

Not long after, the call ended.

Liu Guodong got up and left his office, arriving at the interrogation room door, where he glanced inside through the glass window on the door.

The Foreign man in the interrogation room was still sitting on the chair, showing no signs of panic, always calm and composed. He even turned his head to survey the surroundings, as if he already knew that nothing would happen to him.

Seeing this, Liu Guodong quickly found the Old Police Officer who had taken the statement.

“Did they sign?”

“They signed.”

With that, the Old Police Officer retrieved the signed statement and placed it before Liu Guodong.

Seeing that it was indeed signed and fingerprinted, Liu Guodong finally nodded:

“Since they’ve signed, then release them. Release all three.”

“Alright.”

The Old Police Officer responded and then turned to enter the interrogation room, unlocking the Foreign man’s handcuffs and leading him out of the interrogation room.

Soon after, the three individuals who had been apprehended were brought to the lobby.

“You can leave now.” (english)

The Intern said to the three in fluent english.

Upon hearing this, the three did not turn to leave; instead, they sat down on a row of chairs against the wall in the lobby.

This action left Liu Guodong and several Police Officers somewhat puzzled.

Other people brought to the Police Inspector Bureau would eagerly leave the moment they heard they could go.

But these three were different.

Not only did they not leave, but they also sat down on the chairs. What were they trying to do?

Was it because it was almost noon, so they wanted a meal?

“Why aren’t you leaving?” (english)

At the signal of several Police Officers, the Intern looked at them and asked.

“Officer, the Chinese people who assaulted us haven’t been brought to justice, so how could we possibly leave easily?” (english)

The Foreign man smirked and continued:

“If you want us to leave, it’s very simple: just bring those assaulters to justice, and we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, we’ll just sit here and wait for people from the German Country Embassy to come looking for us. Then, we’ll tell the embassy staff all the details one by one.” (english)

When the Intern translated these words, Liu Guodong immediately frowned.

These three people actually dared to threaten him?

To ask him to arrest the people from the Steel Factory was an impossible request!

Foreign Minister Qin Zeming had already made his stance very clear on the phone: they must protect the normal production of the enterprise.

Even so, how could he possibly grant these three their wish?

“Hmph, if they don’t want to leave, then let them stay here. Don’t mind them. If they dare to disrupt the order here, then arrest all of them directly for obstructing official duties!”

Liu Guodong sneered.

After giving his orders, he left the lobby and headed to the second floor.

Since the other party wouldn’t leave, he couldn’t force them out.

However, they could ignore the three of them.

If the three wanted to sit, then let them sit; he’d see how long they could last.

With Foreign Minister Qin Zeming’s words, Liu Guodong was now not at all afraid of offending these two Foreign men.

Even if they contacted their embassy and had the embassy pressure their Police Inspector Bureau, he still wasn’t afraid.

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

He didn’t believe that Guo Li Steel Factory didn’t have supporters behind it.

He still clearly remembered how Dingsheng Group had collapsed overnight not long ago.

That time, even the City Mayor and City Secretary were alarmed.

Dingsheng Group had committed numerous evils.

It was completely uprooted, and even its behind-the-scenes protectors underwent a major purge.

Both the County Magistrate and County Secretary were replaced with a new group of people.

Even some high-ranking officials in the City were implicated in this matter and had their official hats removed, ending up in prison.

If even such people could be swept away, how powerful must the connections behind the Steel Factory be?

“Honey, call the embassy and tell them to put pressure on the Rabbit Country government to make sure they arrest the people who beat us!”

Police Inspector Bureau lobby.

The Foreign man proudly instructed the woman.

Hearing this, the Foreign woman pulled out her phone, looking fierce:

“Okay, I’ll call the embassy right away. These hateful natives actually dared to hit us; they must pay the price!”
