312: He's already taken.
Li Yuhang quickly pushed away the woman who was trying to hug his arm. Now, everyone clearly understood that something abnormal was definitely afoot.
So, Li Yuhang loudly reprimanded, “Get out of here!”
The others also spoke up, scolding the women and telling them to leave quickly.
Just as they were trying to shoo the women away, and the women were clinging on, unwilling to leave, the private room door was opened once again.
First to enter were several police officers, followed by a reporter and a photographer carrying a camera.
Seeing this setup, everyone now completely understood that someone was deliberately trying to frame them.
But none of them panicked, because they all knew that such clumsy tactics wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere here; no one had the ability to distort the truth about them.
“Nobody move! We received a report that someone here is engaged in illegal prostitution. Do not obstruct or interfere with police work!”
A police officer said loudly.
Yuan Shulin took two steps forward and said with a serious expression, “Captain Zhang, what are you shouting about? Is that how you handle a case?
You completely misunderstand the situation and immediately jump to conclusions.”
Only then did the police officers realize that their Deputy Director Yuan Shulin was also among them.
Captain Zhang was momentarily speechless. “Deputy Director Yuan, why are you here? This, this, this…”
“Stop with the ‘this, this’ for now, and close the door first,”
Yuan Shulin quickly ordered, seeing a crowd of curious onlookers gathered at the doorway.
Two police officers quickly turned around and closed the private room door, blocking the view of other guests.
Lin Zifeng also saw a familiar face, the female reporter standing to the side. He was very sure that he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where at the moment.
At this moment, the female reporter held up her microphone and asked, “Captain Zhang, what's the situation here? You just called this gentleman Deputy Director Yuan. Could it be that this gentleman also works in the public security system, and is even a director?”
Facing the female reporter’s question, Captain Zhang was a bit at a loss for how to answer, and he equivocated, “Reporter Wang, please stop the interview and filming for now!
There must be some misunderstanding here.”
Wang Ziyan was a reporter who hated evil. The more Captain Zhang acted this way, the more it confirmed her suspicions.
So she continued, “We news media have the right to interview and the right to know. Captain Zhang has no right to stop us from understanding the truth.
Nor does he have the right to prevent our news media from filming on site.”
After saying this, she turned her microphone to Yuan Shulin and continued, “Hello, sir. Captain Zhang just called you Director.
Which bureau are you a director of?
Someone reported that there are sex transactions here. How do you explain this?”
Captain Zhang, who now fully understood the situation, immediately gestured to his subordinates, wanting them to step forward and stop the reporter and photographer.
But Yuan Shulin raised a hand to interrupt him. “Hello, reporter friend. I can answer all your questions.
I am Yuan Shulin, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The report of sex transactions here is purely slander and entrapment; it is deliberately done by someone with ulterior motives.”
Hearing Yuan Shulin admit his identity and say these words, Wang Ziyan looked at the several flamboyantly dressed women and showed a slight, disdainful smile.
She pressed on, “Deputy Director Yuan, then please explain to us, what are the identities of these ladies, and what is your relationship with them?”
“We don't know them at all. Shortly before you arrived, they suddenly barged in on their own.
Before you came in, we were in the process of kicking them out.”
Yuan Shulin explained very calmly.
At this moment, the women were all flustered. They hadn't expected that among Lin Zifeng and these people, there was actually a Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
They were all hostesses from other entertainment venues, hired for a high price.
The other party only told them that as long as they entertained the guests in this private room well and didn't leave the room, each of them would receive a reward of 100,000 yuan afterwards.
Seeing the current situation, they all understood that this was not as simple as asking them to serve drinks.
This was clearly someone setting a trap for these people, intending to frame them, and these people's identities were not simple.
If they had known the whole story of this matter, they wouldn't have gotten involved, no matter how much money they were offered.
Because if they offended the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, how could they continue to live in this city!
Hearing Yuan Shulin’s answer and seeing the trembling expressions of the women, Wang Ziyan first said to the women, “Now you know fear. If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?”
She genuinely looked down on these women of the night, so after a sarcastic remark, she then looked at Yuan Shulin and said, “Deputy Director Yuan, do you think your words are convincing? Do you think I will believe them?”
Yuan Shulin did not answer Wang Ziyan, but instead looked at Captain Zhang and said, “Send someone to copy the surveillance videos of the corridor and this private room separately.
Then everything will be clear at a glance.”
Captain Zhang quickly agreed, gave an order to two police officers, and the two officers turned and left.
Seeing Yuan Shulin so calm, Lin Zifeng and the others also looked unfazed, and Wang Ziyan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
At this moment, she saw Lin Zifeng and felt that he looked very familiar, but she still couldn't remember where she had seen him.
She tentatively asked, a little unsure, “Have we met somewhere before?”
After these few minutes, Lin Zifeng had already remembered who she was.
When Lin Zifeng first took office as deputy secretary of the county party committee, a mountain fire broke out in Gangou Township, and Lin Zifeng personally went to the front lines to direct the fire rescue.
Wang Ziyan had gone to the fire scene to report on the fire and had interviewed Lin Zifeng. Because Lin Zifeng's face was covered in a lot of dirt at the time, Wang Ziyan felt he was very familiar but couldn't recognize him.
Hearing Wang Ziyan's question, he said calmly, “Reporter friend, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?”
In this kind of situation, he didn't intend to mention their brief encounter back then. The two of them had no connection anyway, so there was no need to waste words explaining.
“No, we must have met somewhere, I just can't remember where,”
Wang Ziyan said, frowning slightly and pondering.
“Our Zifeng truly has endless charm! The Leading Anchorwoman of the Provincial TV Station is actually using such an old-fashioned way to hit on you. Brother, I can't help but envy you!
Reporter Wang, you don't need to waste your efforts. Our Zifeng is already taken, and none of us here are single.”
Li Yuhang said with a grin, his lips curving upwards, not taking anything happening before him seriously at all.
