Chapter 1477 Vignte Justice
After a few more days, the construction of a new cafeteria started at Long Industries. It was announced to all the staff that Deputy CMO Long Xin was the one who donated 100% of the funds to build the new cafeteria. It was going to be built at the same standard as Orchidia''s famous cafeteria. All the employees cheered when they found out. They couldn''t wait for it to bepleted.
With the CMO and the entire Marketing Department at her side and President Long Tengfei''s tacit support, Iris Long''s position in thepany had also stabilized. There were incidents of sabotage from the opposing camp, but she quickly dodged the dangers, and more often than not, counterattacked.
Of course, she had long noticed that her foundation in thepany wasn''t as deep as that of Long Hui''s or even Long Jian''s, but she wasn''t discouraged about it at all. She even felt more motivated topete against the two half-brothers. But still, she never forgot her purpose in joining the battle for session at Long Industries.
On the same day, they also received news that Mao Qiuyue''s parents had finally been found.
The police were at their wits'' end about searching for them.
Jin Liwei imed that the experts he hired only rescued his godson and didn''t do anything else. Although the police had their suspicions, they didn''t have any evidence to prove otherwise. It also seemed that their resources weren''t as good as that of the billionaire CEO. They still failed to catch any clues about the whereabouts of Mao Qiuyue''s parents after so long.
Now, the search was finally over.
The police were relieved because the public and the media kept on pressuring them to give justice to the poor child. Even some of the government higher-ups became involved and kept on urging them to indict and arrest all the suspects involved at all costs especially after the international media featured the kidnapping case.
The police force could only focus their sights on Mao Qiuyue herself while her parents were still missing. They charged her additional crimes and then hastened her transfer to a maximum-security prison.
When her parents were finally found, the police force immediately charged them with their original crimes of bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and tax evasion, and the new crimes rted to kidnapping and battery. They were also arrested the same day.
The Chief of Police even held a press conference about Father Mao and Mother Mao''s arrest due to pressure from the public and media, including some of the government higher-ups.
All the major media news outlets attended the press conference. After listening to the Chief of Police''s announcement about the arrest, all the reporters raised their hands. The chief chose one to ask a question.
Reporter 1: "Congrattions to our police force and all members of ourw enforcement for finally arresting the criminals.
Chief of Police: "Thank you."
Reporter 1: "Can you please tell us why it took so long to find and arrest Mr. and Mrs. Mao?"
Chief of Police: "Our police officers never stopped searching for them. Remember that the Maos were once a wealthy and powerful family. They may still have hidden resources that they used to evade us, but in the end, justice still prevailed. All of us from the police force are sworn to do our duty to uphold justice and punish all criminals. No matter how long it takes, we will catch them. And we did just that."
Of course, he wasn''t going to tell the media that Father Mao and Mother Mao were served on a silver tter to the police, that they didn''t actually catch the couple but found them at an alley near a police station. As the Chief of Police, he needed to protect the force''s reputation and inte his officers'' achievements.
He chose another reporter to ask a question.
Reporter 2: "Chief, can you tell us more information about where you found Mr. and Mrs. Mao and how you caught them?"
Chief of Police: "Ahem, that is ssified information."
Reporter 2: "Why is it ssified information?"
Chief of Police: "You''ve already used up your question. Next!" N?v(el)B\\jnn
Reporter 3: "Except for the ssified part, can you tell us some of the details that you''re allowed to publicly share about where you found Mr. and Mrs. Mao and how you caught them?"
The Chief of the Police paused for a few seconds. The reporters eagerly awaited his answer.
Finally, he said, "I can''t share the ce or the process of how we caught the two suspects because they''re ssified information."
The reporters were disappointed.
Then he continued, "But I can tell you their states or condition when we arrested them."
The eyes of the reporters lit up.
Chief of Police: "Mrs. Mao''s hands are both broken. Mr. Mao has be blind and deaf."
This revtion caused a disturbance among the reporters.
Reporter 4: "Sir, did the police cause their injuries?"
Chief of Police: "No. My officers found them already injured."
Reporter 5: "Do you know who caused their injuries? And if you do, who did it?"
Chief of Police: "We are still investigating that at this moment. But we suspect that this is a case of vignte justice. As we all know here, this kidnapping case has considerable massive media coverage, both nationally and internationally. Of course, we, thew enforcement, stand by thew. We condemn anyone who carries out illegal activities, including those who execute vignte justice. We don''t care if you think that you''re doing the right thing. You''re still breaking thew and we will apprehend you."
There were some more questions, and the Chief of Police answered most of them. For the other questions, he would say that he couldn''t answer because they''re ssified information. No matter how many times the reporters rephrased their questions, the chief refused to answer.
After the appointed time, the press conference finally ended.
The Chief of Police left without any hesitation, not caring whether the reporters had asked everything they wanted.
