"I can't believe Mr. Guhan finally showed up!"
After a long time, the reporter reacted and said excitedly, "Mr. Director, let's contact the Commission for Discipline Inspection and issue a subpoena to him. Let's see what he has to say then!"
The reporter said it lightly, as if contacting the Commission for Discipline Inspection and issuing a subpoena was a simple matter. But in fact, the director knew very well that it was almost impossible.
Because from the beginning, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and their court were not on the same path.
Liu Lei had been the chairman of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for ten years. The entire Commission for Discipline Inspection could be said to be Liu Lei's personal property. The leaders of the Commission were all Liu Lei's subordinates. Liu Lei's control over the Commission was unquestionable.
This was also the reason why the Commission for Discipline Inspection did not make a move during the entire incident. They received Liu Lei's order to stay put.
If the person behind the director could control the Commission for Discipline Inspection, or not completely, just a part of it, then the one who would make a move would not be the Yuzhang City People's Supreme Court, but the Commission for Discipline Inspection that directly managed the sword bearers.
Just like Guhan said, in the entire incident, the Yuzhang City People's Supreme Court actually had no right to intervene. It was only because the victim was an ordinary person that the Yuzhang City People's Supreme Court could vaguely intervene.
"Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the director's forehead. In his script, Guhan would not answer the call.
But he never expected that Guhan would answer it. Now he did not know how to act, because this part was not in the script.
"Mr. Director, Mr. Director!"
The reporter who did not know what was going on was still urging the director. The sweat on the director's forehead increased. Just as the director was about to escape, a life-saving call came through.
"Hello, hello, I am …" The director escaped into his office with the help of the communication device, and then slammed the door shut, leaving behind many dumbfounded reporters and the equally dumbfounded audience.
"Hahahaha, Guhan's move is really amazing. I'm convinced!" On the Yuzhang City forum, an audience member wrote.
"How is this powerful? Tell me!" someone in the crowd immediately asked.
As a result, the previous audience member told them about the stakes in this matter. Only then did the others suddenly realize that there was actually so much fishy going on here.
"Then isn't this the end of the joint prosecution?
Is that Guhan going to get away scot-free again? "
An audience member said indignantly, or rather, most of the audience members said indignantly. After more than ten days of brainwashing by TV programs, magazines, and other news media, almost 80% of the citizens of Yuzhang City thought that Guhan was a bad person, a devil, and an unforgivable sinner.
So when they heard that the joint prosecution couldn't do anything to Guhan, they felt angry and confused.
"Sigh, that's about it. I told you that Yuzhang City's judicial system is too f * cked up!"
The forum was filled with pessimistic voices. It seemed that Guhan's counterattack had won this time. This time, the joint prosecution had failed.
But unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, the door of the director's office opened again. This time, the director walked out calmly and appeared in front of the cameras again.
"Mr. Director, what do you plan to do next?
Are you going to leave this matter unsettled again? "a reporter asked loudly.
"No, absolutely not. This matter will not be left unsettled!"
The director said loudly and righteously, "Even if I know it's a failure, even if I know that there are people behind this, I will still send a message to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I must let everyone know that there is still justice in this world, and there is still a group of righteous judges here!"
"Clap, clap, clap, clap!"
The director's speech caused a burst of applause. All the reporters clapped at the same time, cheering for the director's righteous roar.
The director once again violated the court's work rules. According to the rules, to file a joint prosecution with the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it must be approved by the five judges and the director in a meeting at the same time. At the same time, this joint prosecution was also carried out secretly through official channels. It must not be made public, let alone announced in front of so many news outlets.
Of course, in the face of power, these rules became unimportant. Moreover, the audience would not blame them for breaking the rules. They would only continue to praise them, thinking that they were good judges who truly made decisions for the people.
In fact, in the past ten minutes, in the office, the director received a mysterious message.
This message secretly ordered the director to contact the Commission for Discipline Inspection in public.
The director understood in his heart that this was to prove the connection between the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Guhan. Once the Commission for Discipline Inspection made a joint prosecution, it would leave a bad impression on the people of Yuzhang City. At that time, they might even be able to get a few positions in the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Therefore, in front of the camera, the good director who made decisions for the people called the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Hello, this is the office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. What can I do for you?" On the other end of the call, a standard sweet female voice said.
"Hello, this is the Supreme Court of Yuzhang City. I wish to contact the chairman of the Commission for Discipline Inspection," the director said calmly.
According to the director's plan, he should be obstructed here because the Supreme Court of Yuzhang City and the Commission for Discipline Inspection were not on the same level. As the director, he did not have the right to talk to the chairman of the State Council. If his luck was bad, this call would end here.
"Okay, we understand. Please wait a moment, I will contact the chairman."
It seemed like the director's luck was good. The office operator did not make things difficult for him, nor did he use bureaucratic jargon. Instead, he directly contacted the chairman.
Less than ten seconds later, a deep male voice appeared in the address book.
"Hello, I am Xinyu Sword Spirit, Mao Yepeng."
Xinyu Sword Spirit was the chairman of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and also Liu Lei's old subordinate. Back then, he only had half his body left and was saved by Liu Lei. Therefore, he was loyal and obedient to Liu Lei. The entire Yuzhang City was extremely afraid of Xinyu Sword Spirit.
In the entire Yuzhang City, there were at least a thousand sword bearers who had been treated by Xinyu Sword Spirit. This was a demon through and through.
When the audience in front of the TV heard Xinyu Sword Spirit's voice, they all felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hello, I am the director of Yuzhang City's Supreme Court. I wish to …" Before the director could finish, he was rudely interrupted by Xinyu Sword Spirit.
"I know you. I am watching the live broadcast. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked her to put me through."
The words "I know you" made the director's hair stand on end. Being targeted by Xinyu Sword Spirit was not a good thing.
"Since you already know, then I won't say more. What do you think?"
The director was a little timid when he spoke. He didn't even dare to speak a little louder. Clearly, he was extremely afraid of Xinyu Sword Spirit.
"What do you mean?
Of course it's business! "
Xinyu Sword Spirit said proudly. "Since you want me to jointly prosecute a sword bearer, then let me ask you, do you have evidence?"
"Yes, yes, we already have sufficient evidence," the director quickly said.
"Alright then, we, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, will jointly prosecute with you. We, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, will always stand on the side of justice and truth. We will not be biased towards anyone." With that, Xinyu Sword Spirit hung up.
It was settled just like that?
The director touched his forehead in disbelief. With just a few words, the most difficult person to deal with in Yuzhang City, Xinyu Sword Spirit was settled?
The Commission for Discipline Inspection agreed to jointly prosecute with him?
This was like a dream.
The director faintly felt that things were developing further and further away from his script.
At the same time, Xinyu Sword Spirit's words were transmitted to the ears of every audience that was paying attention to the live broadcast. They cheered at the same time and praised loudly.
"The words on the internet are all lies. What Xinyu Sword Spirit is covering up for Guhan? What Xinyu Sword Spirit is Liu Lei's lackey? These are all lies and rumors. The Commission for Discipline Inspection is still fair and just!"
…
"Old Chairman, I have already done as you instructed." In the chairman's office, Xinyu Sword Spirit was talking to Liu Lei.
This person who made Yuzhang City tremble with fear most of the time was as respectful as a child in front of Liu Lei.
And this director didn't expect that when he was communicating with Xinyu Sword Spirit, Liu Lei was by his side.
"Good, good, good!" Liu Lei said three times in a row. "This matter has been handled well."
"But Old Director, is this really okay?"
Xinyu Sword Spirit asked doubtfully. "Once we jointly sue, then Pavilion Master Guhan will …" Clearly, Xinyu Sword Spirit still had some doubts about Liu Lei's plan. He didn't know what Liu Lei was planning.
"It's fine, it's fine!" Liu Lei smiled. "Isn't the Discipline Inspection's trial hall your turf?"
"So that's how it is. I understand now!" Xinyu Sword Spirit also smiled.
…
After ending the call with the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the director quickly ordered his subordinates to draft a subpoena and send it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
He thought the Commission for Discipline Inspection would deliberately delay it for a while. Unexpectedly, in less than twenty seconds, the Commission for Discipline Inspection replied and stamped their official seal on the subpoena. This subpoena officially had legal effect.
Therefore, in front of all the cameras, the dean once again dialed Gu Han's number.
But this time, before the director could say anything, he received such a reply.
"I'm watching TV. I know about the subpoena. I will be there on time. Goodbye."
After saying that, the call was hung up. Our cute director didn't even say a word before he was hung up.
Although it seemed like he had obtained victory and everything went exceptionally smoothly, the director's heart was getting more and more uneasy.
