Chapter 939 Retreat
Secretary Shao looked extremely ugly as he watched his group being surrounded by hundreds of villagers armed with sticks.
But he knew that he couldn't be impulsive or act on emotion at this time.
If improper handling leads to mass incidents, he might lose the position of village chief that he longs for.
At this time, Deputy Director Liu was just quietly observing the development of the situation.
Of course he wanted the credit, but facing so many villagers, he didn't dare to order his men to do anything out of line.
Chen Changan also frowned and said to Secretary Shao.
"Secretary Shao, I think Captain Yao may have some misunderstandings about our actions this time.
I think this is how it should be. Deputy Director Liu and I will go back first, and you stay here and explain things to Captain Yao. "
"If Zhou Jiafu is not detained today, no one can leave."
In order to establish his prestige among the villagers, Captain Yao no longer cared about so many things.
When he was encouraging the villagers, he was determined to go all out.
No matter the security department of the automobile factory or the public security bureau, as long as he leads all the villagers to face the outside world in unity, these units will be unable to do anything to them.
Although he thought so in his mind, both the people from the security department of the automobile factory and the people from the Public Security Bureau had guns in their hands.
He didn't know whether these people would open fire in this situation.
After being encouraged by him, the villagers came running to cheer him on with great enthusiasm.
If this matter was accomplished, and the people from the automobile factory's security department and the public security bureau left Zhou Jiafu behind and retreated directly, then his prestige would directly reach the top.
Being elected village chief was a piece of cake.
But he could guess how the villagers would react if these people fired their guns. They would most likely be scared and would end up watching the other side taking Zhou Jiafu away.
His own prestige would also plummet, and he would no longer have the chance to think about becoming the village chief.
So Captain Yao was actually very nervous in his heart, but when he saw that the police did not take any action and Chen Changan only asked Secretary Shao to come forward, his nervousness disappeared and he became even tougher.
"Captain Yao, whether Zhou Jiafu has committed a crime or not will only be determined after further investigation.
You may not believe me, but don’t you believe the police comrades either?
They just took Zhou Jiafu back to the Public Security Bureau to investigate the truth of the matter.
As long as Zhou Jiafu himself has no problems, he will be cleared of all charges.”
“You are all colluding with each other, don’t I know your style?
Once a person is taken away by you, how can you possibly let him or her go?
I'm going to make this clear today. You can leave, but Zhou Jiafu must stay."
Secretary Shao also knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer. Captain Yao's attitude was becoming increasingly tough, and if he didn't find a way to calm things down, he might not have the chance to continue his previous cooperation with the automobile factory.
"Yao Fushun, do you really want to do this? You should think about it carefully.
We found Director Chen’s son in your production team’s warehouse.
Why did Director Chen’s son appear in your production team’s warehouse?
As the captain, do you have any responsibility? By blocking the incident, are you also involved in it?
Also, the vegetables that your production team is growing now are all arranged by the commune.
Believe it or not, based on what you did today, I can make all the vegetables in your production team rot in the fields."
As soon as Secretary Shao finished speaking, not only Captain Yao, but many villagers also began to hesitate.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Captain Yao.
The meaning was very clear. The villagers did not want to continue the confrontation, but for the sake of face, they waited for Captain Yao to give the order.
The villagers have just started to live a good life in recent years.
Not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but the income from growing vegetables is also very considerable.
They have all come through difficult times and they still clearly remember the feeling of being hungry.
If the commune really stopped assigning them tasks and no one wanted to grow the vegetables in the fields, they would starve to death.
"Don't believe him. Growing vegetables is a task assigned by our superiors.
If he lets everyone in our production team go hungry, he will be held accountable by his superiors.”
Despite Captain Yao's constant explanations, the villagers were not stupid.
Even if they are held accountable and dismissed, they will still go hungry.
Now they just need to go back to their homes and they won’t go hungry, so why should they stand up and confront the police?
At this time, Chen Changan stood up.
"Let me say a few words. I wonder if you recognize me?"
"I saw you on TV. You were the chef de mission at the Olympics."
"I've also seen the team leader who held the national flag for the athletes."
In the eyes of the villagers, people who can appear on TV are either people who have made contributions to the country or leaders.
Now is the time when major television stations are constantly reporting on the triumphant return of Olympic delegations.
Chen Changan's interviews at the airport were also constantly reported by major TV stations.
“Since everyone knows me, let me say a few words.
Zhou Jiafu kidnapped my son, and we found him in the production team's warehouse.
Ask yourself, if your own child was taken away from you, what would you do? "
"kill him."
"Yes, the human trafficker who stole the child was beaten to death on the spot."
"Right, let's put ourselves in his shoes. As a father, I will take him back and hand him over to the police. I will ask him about the matter and see if he did anything wrong."
When it came to taking Zhou Jiafu away, the villagers were silent again.
Although it makes sense in theory, I am somewhat reluctant psychologically.
“You know, the chances of losing children in rural areas are no less than in cities.
Today you chose to resist for Zhou Jiafu. Next time when your village loses a child, who will be willing to help you?
I know that in rural areas, everyone is more or less related to each other, so it is normal to be on the side of one's own people.
But for the sake of Zhou Jiafu, you should also think about what you will lose.
Just like what Secretary Shao said just now, if we don’t assign tasks to your production team, or if we assign too few tasks, you will be in big trouble.
In the future, if your village is bullied, children are lost, etc., do you think the public security comrades will still be willing to help you?
Even your entire production team will be isolated, and girls will not be willing to marry here, and you won’t be able to find a wife from another village in the future.
Do you think it's worth it just because you want to save Zhou Jiafu?
I promise you here, and you can go back home now. Comrade Gong'an, Secretary Shao of the commune and I promise you that what happened today will not be held accountable.
From now on, the commune will continue to assign vegetable planting tasks to your production team. What do you think?"
As Chen Changan finished speaking, Deputy Director Liu and Secretary Shao nodded in agreement at the same time.
Many people who originally had nothing to do with Zhou Jiafu began to retreat directly.
In fact, most people no longer want to save Zhou Jiafu, but just want to save face.
Now that some people have retreated, a large group of people have begun to follow suit.
