Chapter 23 I’m Sorry! I’m a Public Security Officer

Chapter 23 I'm Sorry! I'm a Public Security Officer (Part )
Let’s go back to around 7 o’clock last night.

Guan Tianlin's family, who lived in the east wing of the front yard, had just finished dinner. When Aunt Sun finished cleaning the table and was about to leave the room, her son Guan Dapeng stopped her nervously.

Said:
"Mom and Dad! I want to tell you something~"

When Aunt Sun saw her son speaking hesitantly and looking uneasy, her heart skipped a beat.

First, he carefully looked at the old man Guan Tianlin, and saw him smoking and concentrating on a drawing. The smoke made it difficult to see his facial expression. He didn't react to his son's words. He didn't know if he was too focused to hear, or if he heard but didn't take it to heart.

She turned her gaze back to her son and asked worriedly:

"Dapeng~ have you gotten into trouble again?"

Seeing her son lowering his head and looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to, she thought she was right.

Angrily, Aunt Sun slapped him on the shoulder and said angrily:

"Ah~ You are always making trouble. What happened? Tell me~"

At this moment, Guan Tianlin put down the drawings in his hand and stared at his son with sharp eyes.

"Tell me, mom and dad are here, what are you afraid of? If anything happens, we can face it together."

Guan Dapeng first looked at his mother cautiously, and saw Aunt Sun's eyes full of concern. Then he looked at his father with a frown, and saw Guan Tianlin's sharp eyes and gloomy face, and he felt uneasy.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind and blurted out:
"Dad~ I need money~ lots of money."

His parents were stunned when they heard this:
"It takes a lot of money? How much is that?"

After Guan Dapeng said this, he seemed to have come to his senses. The rest of the words came out like spitting out grape skins.

"Two to two thousand yuan!"

Guan Tianlin widened his eyes:
"What? Two thousand dollars? Do you know what you're talking about? Is selling you enough for two thousand dollars?"

This is a huge sum of money, equivalent to the five-year salary of an ordinary worker in Beijing. It has much greater purchasing power than two million in later generations.

Guan Dapeng cried hysterically:

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to either..."

After graduating from junior high school, Guan Dapeng was idle and had nothing to do. Because his family spoiled him and he had some spare money, he was generous when he was hanging out on the streets, and soon he got together with a few Buddhist playboys.

These people usually quarreled with others, stole things, flirted with women, drank and gambled, and sometimes went to the dark side. So Guan Dapeng got into a lot of troubles, big and small. Because the troubles he got into before were not very serious, in the end, his parents asked people to find connections and found ways to settle it for him.

This time, things are different.

It turned out that about ten days ago, Guan Tianlin was drinking with a group of social vagrants and met a girl. She was said to be the sister of one of his buddies, named Li Qian. The girl had a seductive look and was good at speaking, so she charmed Guan Tianlin in no time.

Later, Guan Tianlin drank too much and couldn't remember anything after that. But when he woke up the next day, he heard a scream next to him:

"Someone come, someone is being a hooligan~"

"bang"

The door of the house was kicked open, and a whole family of people, including men, women, old and young, rushed in.

Guan Tianlin then realized that he was naked, and next to him was Li Qian, whom he had just met last night. She was also wearing only a red bellyband, revealing her snow-white skin. She was covering her face and crying:
"I'm going to die~ How can I face people in the future~"

Seeing this, the others beat Guan Tianlin without saying anything. After beating him, they said they would take him to the police station to report the case. This scared Guan Tianlin a lot. He fell to his knees on the ground, begging for mercy. He said he would accept the beating and punishment, and begged them not to report to the police.

At first, this group of people refused to agree and insisted on taking the matter to the police station. Finally, his buddy said something and said that his sister was already in such a state and for the sake of their reputation, it would be better to settle the matter privately.

In order to escape from prison, Guan Dapeng actively asked for compensation from the other party, guaranteeing that the other party would be satisfied. He signed a confession and finally paid 500 yuan in compensation. Because he didn't have enough money, he needed to go home to get it. The other party also kept his underwear as evidence.

Guan Dapeng was never a good person. After I got home, I thought more and more that something was wrong. How could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that he was set up by a honey trap? He decided to give the other party a cold shoulder. I didn't say I wouldn't pay him back. When he was pushed into a corner, he said that his family had no money. You want to play tricks on me. Let's see what you can do to me.

He had a good idea and had been avoiding this family all along, and everything was fine. But this afternoon, when he was gambling at a Buddhist master's place, he was betrayed by the master and was caught by this family.

Li Qian was no longer as charming as she was that day. She was sarcastic and mean like a brothel owner. Not only did she yell at him, she also took out a piece of paper and said that she was pregnant. This was the medical examination report issued by the hospital. Guan Dapeng was dumbfounded on the spot. The other party stopped talking and directly asked him to increase the compensation, asking him to pay 2,000 yuan. They said that they had the confession and the medical examination report in their hands, so they were not afraid that he would not admit it. Otherwise, they would send him to the public security bureau, and he would probably end up like a target.

Before they left, they told him to pay within a certain time and not to try to evade the debt. They knew everything about where his family lived and where his parents worked.

When Guan Dapeng said this, he was already at a loss.

His father Guan Tianlin was furious and slapped him in the face, causing his face to visibly swell up.

"Rebellious son! Our family will be destroyed by you sooner or later. I might as well kill you as soon as possible to prevent you from bringing disaster to the whole family."

Aunt Sun also said anxiously:

"Dapeng, what's wrong with you? You feel uncomfortable if you don't get into trouble every day, right?"

"What should we do? Two thousand dollars. Where can we get it?"

Aunt Sun, who was anxious, suddenly thought of something. She whispered to Guan Tianlin:
"Why don't you sell those things? They're not for eating or drinking, and they're useless if you keep them there."

Guan Tianlin looked at the dejected Guan Dapeng and said with a cold face:

"Go back to your room first. I'll discuss this with your mother and see if there's anything we can do. You're not allowed to go there for the next few days. If you dare to step out of your room, I'll break your legs. Do you hear me?"

Guan Dapeng said, "I heard it," and went back to his room.

After he left, Guan Tianlin sighed and said:
"A loving mother often spoils her child. The ancients were not wrong."

Aunt Sun also said angrily:

"Mr. Guan, what's the point of you saying this now? Hurry up and find a way to save your son~"

Guan Tianlin suppressed his anger and said in a low voice:

"What else can we do? We just have to give them the money and not let them report it to the police or make things worse~"

"Don't you know what we are doing? We must keep a low profile and not cause any trouble or draw their attention. Besides, it hasn't been that long since the last incident."

Aunt Sun said helplessly:
"But I don't have enough money. Even if I sell those things for a while, who can I sell them to?"

Guan Tianlin:
"I'll find a way. If nothing works, I'll just have to divert the funds first."

Aunt Sun was shocked:
"No, is there anything wrong?"

…………

Seeing that it was getting light, Liu Zhiye had no mood to rest. He simply got up for morning exercises. Although he had retired from the army, it was necessary to exercise hard if he wanted to maintain his combat effectiveness.

I ran 5 kilometers first to warm up and stretch my muscles, then ran to Shichahai Houhai Park and practiced several martial arts routines such as Bajiquan, Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and Tan Leg.

Shichahai includes the Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and the adjacent areas, which correspond to the "Front Three Seas" (Beihai, Zhonghai and Nanhai), and are commonly known as the "Back Three Seas". Shichahai is also written as "Shichahai", because there were originally ten Buddhist temples around it, so it was called this. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has become a place for recreation and summer vacation, and is one of the four-nine scenic spots. Many ancient buildings in the Shichahai scenic area occupy an important position in the history of urban construction and development and political and cultural history of the four-nine years. The main representatives are Prince Gong's Mansion and Garden, Prince Chun's Mansion, Bell and Drum Tower, Deshengmen Arrow Tower, Guanghua Temple, Huitong Temple, and Huixian Hall.

I went to the police station in the morning and held a meeting with all the staff. After the work was assigned, the public security officer Xiao Li took me to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen on a motorcycle.

Looking at the huge factory area in front of him, which covers a very large area and is majestic, even the knowledgeable Liu Zhiye was deeply moved.

It was in this special historical context that the Red Star Factory, a key steel enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, achieved even stronger development.

To date, the plant has built two blast furnaces, three coking ovens, and an oxygen top-blown converter, with an annual output of nearly one million tons of steel. It also has three forging and casting workshops, and five steel rolling production workshops (bar, electromechanical, hot rolling, finishing, and transportation). It is a large-scale steel enterprise integrating steel smelting, forging, casting, and mechanical processing.

In addition, the factory has more than a dozen branches across the country.

The Red Star Factory is organized and led by the factory committee. The main leaders of the factory committee include: one factory director, one senior official, four deputy factory directors, one full-time deputy secretary of the party committee, one senior disciplinary official, and one trade union chairman.

The factory committee management organization consists of dozens of departments: Office, Finance Department, Personnel Department, Security Department, Armed Forces Department, Logistics Department, Discipline Inspection Committee, Propaganda Department, Technology Department, Purchasing Department, Youth League Committee, Production Department, Sales Department, Trade Union, Women's Federation, United Front Department, Technology Department, Transportation Department, Dispatching Room, Equipment Management Department, etc.

Liu Zhiye asked the security guard standing at the south gate of the factory, who was wearing a white police uniform and holding a Type 56 submachine gun, how to get to the Security Department. Then he got in the car and motioned to Officer Li to drive there. Officer Li stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
