Chapter 547 More trouble than it's worth!
afternoon.
The shrill ringtone of the cell phone suddenly went off.
Duan Guangzhong, who was taking a nap, was woken up by the ringing of the alarm.
Thinking it was his secretary calling, he answered the call blindly without checking the number.
"I'm awake. Make the tea, and I'll wash my face and head out."
After saying that, Duan Guangzhong was about to hang up the phone.
"Duan Shuji, it's me, Xiao Song!"
An urgent shout came from the phone.
"Little Song? Which Little Song?"
"Song Jianhui, chairman of Haiqing Jianhui Industrial Group, we were playing mahjong together last night!"
"Oh, I remember now. What's up? Why did you call me directly? Didn't I tell you to contact Secretary Zhang first?"
Duan Guangzhong was somewhat annoyed.
I didn't get home and go to sleep until 4 a.m., and then I got up at 7 a.m. to rush to a meeting.
I forced myself to stay alert in the morning and chaired the municipal party committee meeting, but afterwards I felt drowsy and lethargic.
He ate a quick lunch and then took a nap to catch up on his sleep, as he had an important meeting in the afternoon.
Now, being woken up while I'm sound asleep, how can I not be furious?
"I'm so sorry, Duan Shuji, this matter is just too urgent and serious, so I have no choice but to call you directly."
Duan Guangzhong immediately frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
He suddenly remembered that around 2 a.m., while he was playing mahjong with Jin Anrui, Song Jianhui received a phone call saying that Song Laosan had taken drugs again and had caused a car accident while driving under the influence.
At the time, no one paid much attention. Song Jianhui, who was used to cleaning up his third brother's messes, continued to call for help and find someone to take the blame, until he called again at around 3 a.m.
Only then did everyone realize that Song Laosan had gotten himself into big trouble this time.
This incident not only resulted in the deaths of two people and serious injuries to one in the taxi, but one of them was also the vice president of Haiqing University.
Regardless of whether the other party is having a late-night dinner or violating Party regulations or laws, driving under the influence of drugs and killing someone is no small matter.
In particular, the seventh supervisory team of the special campaign against organized crime is currently stationed in Qinghai Province to conduct on-site supervision.
So even Jin Anrui, who was very addicted to cards, stopped the game and asked Song Jianhui to settle things overnight.
At that moment, Duan Guangzhong secretly prayed that Song Jianhui could quickly resolve the matter and avoid disturbing the supervisory team.
So now...
Song Jianhui called me in a panic, saying that the matter was very urgent and serious.
Has my worst fear come true?
This guy is more trouble than he's worth. He didn't handle the car accident quickly enough and has already alarmed the supervisory team.
In an instant, Duan Guangzhong's mind went blank, and he was instantly wide awake, his hair standing on end.
"What the hell do you mean? Did you fail to handle the car accident and instead let the supervisory team find out?"
Song Jianhui hurriedly said, "I had already taken care of the car accident. I raised more than 20 million yuan in cash, and after much persuasion and spending money, I reached an agreement with the relatives of the five deceased, including Vice Principal Cheng's wife..."
"and many more!"
Duan Guangzhong suddenly stood up and asked in surprise:
"Weren't there two dead and one seriously injured? How come there are five dead?"
Song Jianhui sighed heavily.
"Sigh, my brother took drugs last night and drove a Land Rover M9 on the street. He sped along Anlin North Street, which is currently under construction, and I estimate he was going almost 200 km/h."
"He collided head-on with an old Santana taxi that was under construction and could only brake without being able to avoid it. The collision sent the taxi flying more than ten meters backward."
"It is said that the impact sounded like thunder. The front of the taxi was squeezed into the front seat. The driver and the front passenger died on the spot, and the three people behind them could not be saved even after being sent to the hospital."
"What about your brother? Is he completely unharmed?"
Duan Guangzhong asked in surprise.
"Yes! If he had been killed in the crash, we wouldn't have all this trouble now. But that Land Rover M9 truly lives up to its reputation as the number one luxury car made in China. It's like a road tank, with exceptional safety features. The airbags deployed immediately upon impact, protecting my brother completely unharmed."
"Moreover, the front engine compartment was completely smashed, but the A-pillar and doors were not severely deformed, so he was able to open the door and get out of the car, laughing and joking around the accident scene. The Land Rover customer service center detected the violent collision and helped call the police and arranged for people from the 4S store to come to the scene for rescue."
"and then?"
"Then, when the traffic police arrived at the scene, they wanted to check if my brother had been drinking. This bastard was still under the influence of drugs, so he was still acting crazy. In front of countless onlookers, he hit and cursed at the traffic police. Several kind-hearted people helped the traffic police to forcibly hold him down and take him to Xiping People's Hospital for a blood test..."
Upon hearing this, Duan Guangzhong knew that things were in trouble.
It's definitely not going to work out for Song Jianhui to find someone to take the blame for his third brother.
He caused such a serious car accident in a busy downtown area and was taken to the hospital for a blood test in public.
How are we supposed to find someone to take the blame?
If you can't find someone to take the blame, and you have to be punished according to law and regulations under the supervision of public opinion, then that's the end of it, isn't it?
Because his third brother was driving under the influence of drugs, he not only sped and drove against traffic, but also caused the deaths of five people!
It is worth noting that after Zhao Lichun, the new deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and director of the Public Security Bureau, took office, he vigorously promoted the rule of law, accelerated the improvement of the legal system, and the crackdown on drug-related cases reached an unprecedented level.
Therefore, Song Jianhui's third brother's drug-impaired driving is neither a traffic accident nor a dangerous driving offense, but a crime of endangering public safety. Considering the serious consequences of speeding and driving against traffic that resulted in the deaths of five people, he will most likely be sentenced to death.
Song Jianhui, whose net worth is in the billions, obviously listened to the advice of professional lawyers and knew that if his third brother was dealt with according to the law and regulations, even if he had obtained the forgiveness of the five families of the deceased, he would at least be sentenced to more than 20 years in prison or a suspended death sentence.
After sighing inwardly, Duan Guangzhong advised:
"Since things have come to this, then don't let someone else take the blame for him!"
"Since he tried to quit but couldn't quit, it's a good thing he was put in jail."
Song Jianhui complained, "Things aren't that simple, Duan Shuji. After the incident, didn't I ask Captain Wang for help? I even arranged for one of my underlings to take the blame."
"But Captain Wang is too honest. My brother had already had his blood drawn and the lab had started testing it, but he took his underling who was taking the blame to the hospital and demanded that his blood be drawn again."
"Moreover, after the car accident, the first people to hear the loud noise and run to the scene were a group of hooligans who were surfing the internet in a nearby alley. Instead of calling the police or helping people, they searched for wallets and phones, and even took the dashcam from the taxi. They even took the cigarettes and alcohol from my brother's trunk."
"This morning, they sold their cell phones and dashcams to an electronics recycler. I don't know what this guy was thinking, but he uploaded the video of the accident before and after it happened online and even gave it a title: 'Domestic luxury car Land Rover M9 crashes into taxi, causing heavy casualties.'"
"This car accident happened in our Xiping City, which attracted a lot of attention. Moreover, the car involved was a high-profile domestic luxury car, the Land Rover M9. It also demonstrated first-class safety performance in the accident, protecting my brother very well. He was even able to open the door and get out of the car. So many people found it very novel and shocking, and kept forwarding it on QQ."
"The video spread like wildfire in various QQ chat groups, especially among the students of Haiqing University. Knowing that their teachers and Vice Principal Cheng were among the four people killed in the taxi accident, they forwarded and discussed it even more frantically, making many people aware of the accident and see my brother's crazy behavior after he opened the door and got out of the car..."
Duan Guangzhong said urgently, "Then you should tell Captain Wang not to arrange for someone to take the blame!"
"It's too late!"
Song Jianhui lamented, "None of us expected that the video of the car accident would go viral online, and we certainly didn't expect that after this incident blew up, someone would actually send an email to the supervisory team to report it..."
Swish.
Duan Guangzhong suddenly stood up.
"What the hell do you mean? Did you say that your plan to find someone to take the blame has already been reported to the supervisory team?"
"Yes!"
Song Jianhui said with concern, "According to inside sources, after receiving the report, the supervisory team quickly held a meeting to discuss it. They not only watched the video of the car accident scene, but also listened to the recording of Captain Wang releasing people without authorization and demanding that the statement be redone. Team Leader Qi immediately instructed the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission to quickly intervene and investigate the matter thoroughly."
Duan Guangzhong shouted urgently, "Then tell your brother and Captain Wang to turn themselves in! It's better to let them go in than to pull out a radish and bring out the rest of the mud!"
“My parents don’t want my brother to go to jail. No matter how I try to persuade them, they won’t listen. My mom even grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened to fight me. She said that he was on drugs and killed so many people, so he would definitely be executed. I told them that he would only be sentenced to prison, but they didn’t believe me at all. Also, Captain Wang has already run away. I don’t know where he is now!”
"..."
Duan Guangzhong was completely dumbfounded.
This really made my head buzz.
What does it mean to be more trouble than good?
This is the absolute classic!
But in his anger, Duan Guangzhong felt that with such a "pig teammate," trouble was bound to happen sooner or later.
Song Laosan became addicted to drugs, and his family couldn't bear to send him away to another place to completely get rid of the drug addiction circle.
Once he takes drugs and experiences hallucinations, he is prone to causing serious trouble. Last year, he intentionally injured someone in a bar, and now he has killed five people in a car accident while driving under the influence of drugs.
As for Captain Wang...
Having long been accustomed to wielding power and acting arbitrarily, he had made it a habit to accept money and do favors.
In particular, he had dealt with Song Jianhui for many years and had received a lot of local specialties from him.
Song Jianhui was so used to handling all sorts of messy situations that he never even considered the terrible consequences of forcing someone to take the blame.
He was clearly used to being arrogant and domineering, assuming that everyone would obediently follow his orders and watch him break the law and regulations, and could only swallow their anger.
Unexpectedly, wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue and conflict.
If he doesn't fall, how can someone else take his place?
At other times, people can tolerate things that aren't too serious.
Now, in this car accident that killed five people, they are blatantly trying to find someone to take the blame.
Do they really think the supervisory team stationed in Qinghai Province is invisible?
Do you really think anyone wouldn't dare to use this as an excuse to cause trouble?
Ever since.
Those who had long wanted to deal with Captain Wang naturally seized the opportunity to make their move.
An email containing both audio and video recordings was sent to the supervisory team's inbox.
Having done too many dirty and shady things, Captain Wang was naturally afraid of spending his life in jail, so he simply chose to run away.
But his escape was tantamount to admitting guilt and fleeing, which only made things worse.
This gave the supervisory team a more legitimate reason to fully intervene in the investigation, so who else would dare to cover it up?
What should we do now?
Duan Guangzhong was really panicked.
Lately, he has been constantly worried that the supervisory team will investigate him, and he is always absent-minded and uneasy.
Now that I've heard something big has happened, my thoughts are naturally in disarray.
“Duan Shuji, what do we do now? My parents absolutely refuse to let my brother turn himself in, and Captain Wang has already fled. What if someone can't withstand the pressure and goes to the supervisory team to confess and surrender…”
