What?
Stay at the Police Station?
How were they supposed to stay at the Police Station?
The moment Dong Xuebin said that, Hu Hanbin sucked in a sharp breath. Even Director Chang Lin was taken aback, while the officers wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Chang Lin immediately said, "How can that work?"
Dong Xuebin left no room for argument. "That's how we'll do it."
"The conditions here are terrible. It's not somewhere you can stay," Chang Lin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
But Dong Xuebin showed no trace of amusement. Seriously, he said, "Staying at the Police Station is just a figure of speech. What I mean is, this matter should be handled by the Police Station however it ought to be handled. Whether it's the Small Black Room or the Detention Room, I'll cooperate fully."
Hu Hanbin thought, You make it sound nice, but we all know you're the new County Party Secretary. Who the hell would dare detain you again? They don't have a death wish. He immediately said, "Secretary Dong, this time... uh, this time was a misunderstanding. It really was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, we... we arrested the wrong person. We got the wrong person."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand. "You didn't arrest the wrong person. I did hit a police officer."
Chang Lin shot Hu Hanbin a cold look.
Hu Hanbin kept wiping sweat from his forehead. "Well..."
Dong Xuebin had clearly shown no intention of leaving. Hu Hanbin and the others had never expected the new County Party Secretary to be this unreasonable, leaving them completely at a loss. They had mistakenly arrested the County Party Secretary, and everyone at the Police Station, even Jiaolin County's entire upper echelon, was already sitting on pins and needles. This was no trivial matter.
