Chapter 1949: Chapter 1949

Ma Guowei did not stop him from contacting a lawyer.

Wei Zejun coldly finished the phone call to his lawyer and said in a self-deprecating tone, "I’m a criminal suspect now. Shouldn’t you lock me up first?"

Ma Guowei frowned; Liang Jianfeng didn’t want things to get ugly or for Wei Zejun to lose face.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have met him in the office.

And he felt that Wei Zejun should understand the message he was trying to convey.

Of course, he could understand why Wei Zejun was angry.

A wealthy heir, raised in luxury with such high social status, suddenly ending up in detention.

The huge disparity affected his mood.

But Ma Guowei was under no obligation to cater to his emotions.

"If you want to go, you can." Ma Guowei said expressionlessly.

His attitude sparked Wei Zejun’s temper, who snorted coldly and said, "What? Is the police station owned by my family? I can go if I want? Then if I want to leave now, can I leave?"

Ma Guowei stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly picked up the desk phone and made a call: "Come to my office."

In less than two minutes, a junior officer knocked and entered.

Ma Guowei said, "Take him to the detention room."

"Yes." The junior officer walked up.

Wei Zejun pushed away the chair, said nothing, just pointed at Ma Guowei from a distance, then followed the officer out.

Wei Zejun was rarely arrogant outside, but today he acted out of genuine anger.

About twenty minutes later, his lawyer arrived.

Ma Guowei arranged for them to meet in a small reception room.

"Mr. Wei, explain the situation to me, as detailed as possible, don’t leave anything out." The lawyer, surnamed Chen, was around forty-five years old, dressed in a high-end custom suit, gentlemanly, exuding an elite air.

Wei Zejun recounted the details of the incident, and Lawyer Chen listened, pondered for a moment, then said, "Obviously, Director Song doesn’t really want to make an enemy out of you. His action is a warning."

Wei Zejun sneered, "He can refuse to cooperate with me, but I can’t tolerate him using such methods."

Lawyer Chen said, "Mr. Wei, I advise you not to act impulsively. He holds evidence of your bribery, which is very unfavorable for you."

Wei Zejun said, "Contact my dad, inform him about the situation."

Lawyer Chen did not persuade further, nodded, and said, "Okay."

He stood up, left the reception room, and Wei Zejun was escorted back to the detention room.

Watching Wei Zejun being taken away, Lawyer Chen turned to Ma Guowei: "Director Ma, I will report the situation here to Mr. Wei’s father."

Ma Guowei thought to himself that this was bad. He expected Wei Zejun to have a face-to-face talk with Song Guanchao.

But judging by the posture, Wei Zejun seems to want to escalate the matter.

He responded with an "Hmm," and after Lawyer Chen left, he returned to the office and called Song Guanchao.

The situation was deviating from the intended path, and he had to notify Song Guanchao.

"Seeking parental intervention?"

Hearing Ma Guowei’s words, Song Guanchao chuckled cynically.

Ma Guowei didn’t expect he could laugh, considering his father was once the richest man.

If his wealthy dad got angry, with his status, he could directly go to the provincial leaders, and even the Provincial Committee Secretary would have to show some courtesy.

He thought, this time, Song Guanchao lacked consideration.

Song Guanchao’s thoughts were quite the opposite.

In his view, he had been sufficiently respectful.

Wei Zejun repeatedly caused trouble, and he chose to tolerate it each time.

This time, he wasn’t genuinely intending to send him to detention, he had offered an out.

Yet he relied on his status and confronted him head-on.

Since that’s the case, then it’s straightforward. Let’s see who relents first.

"Let him contact whoever he wants; update me if there are developments." Song Guanchao hung up after speaking.

Ma Guowei sighed deeply, unsure of what to say.

...

After Lawyer Chen got in the car, he called Wei Shoucheng’s secretary.

Wei Shoucheng has a distinguished identity, and his phone is hard to reach.

His secretary also holds significant status, and likewise, his phone isn’t easily reachable.

The first call went unanswered, so he did not call again, waiting about ten minutes in the car until Wei Shoucheng’s secretary returned the call.

"Lawyer Chen, what is it?"

"Secretary Liu, Young Master Wei has encountered some trouble."

Lawyer Chen chose his words carefully, recounting the events surrounding Wei Zejun with minimal language.

Secretary Liu responded calmly after listening, "I understand."

Ending the call, Secretary Liu turned and headed towards the office.

Wei Shoucheng was entertaining an esteemed guest, so he did not enter at that moment.

Though Wei Zejun was detained, from Lawyer Chen’s description, the issue wasn’t too severe, not urgent.

About half an hour later, the office door opened, and Wei Shoucheng came out, chatting and laughing with the guest.

Secretary Liu followed behind, walking all the way to the company’s entrance, and waited a few minutes as the guest left.

Back in the office, Secretary Liu offered him a cup of tea and said, "Chairman Wei, there’s been a bit of an issue with Young Master Wei."

Wei Shoucheng reclined in his chair, lightly responding with a "Hmm," gesturing for him to continue.

Secretary Liu then recounted the situation as it was.

After speaking, Secretary Liu saw a flash of anger pass over Chairman Wei’s face.

He silently stood aside, not proposing any suggestions.

Having served as Wei Shoucheng’s secretary for five years, he lasted for so long not only because he indeed had exceptional abilities, but that’s not the most crucial reason.

The key is, he understands how to read people’s expressions and is very acquainted with Wei Shoucheng’s temperament.

Time flowed quietly. After about a minute, Wei Shoucheng picked up his phone and dialed the provincial Deputy Secretary Tian Kai Ming’s number.

As soon as the call connected, he immediately put on a smile: "Secretary Tian, am I not disturbing your work? Haha, I plan to expand the company’s business recently and would like to hear Secretary Gao’s opinion. Good, good."

After finishing the call, Wei Shoucheng said, "Arrange to host Secretary Tian in the evening."

"Got it."

After Secretary Liu left, Wei Shoucheng reconsidered the matter of Wei Zejun’s arrest.

Others might think that Wei Zejun’s arrest was due to his overly aggressive personality, angering Song Guanchao, treating it as a common dispute.

But Wei Shoucheng felt, the issue wouldn’t be that simple.

Firstly, how does Song Guanchao, a small Deputy Director cadre, have the audacity to set up my son?

Secondly, a father knows his son best; he understands his child.

Though raised in wealth, he knows well that indulging children is akin to harming them. In his educational philosophy, Wei Zejun’s mind is more mature compared to peers, and his insights and understanding of politics and business far exceed those of his age group.

Under his strict family discipline, Wei Zejun did not acquire the bad habits of other wealthy heirs; outside, he even treats ordinary people with kindness and patience.

Moreover, he clearly understands the business that Wei Zejun is currently expanding. It absolutely doesn’t involve exploiting power to bully others, nor does it involve coercion or bribery.

He’s not someone who’s never seen money and is shallow-minded.

Earning one hundred, he would use seventy percent to make arrangements, ensuring those who facilitate him receive satisfying rewards.

Therefore, now Secretary Liu tells him that Song Guanchao caught his son under the guise of forcing cooperation because of identity—that he absolutely does not believe.

This is merely an excuse to cover certain real reasons.

And what the real reason is, he doesn’t know, but he can still guess.

It’s merely someone wanting to warn him through this method.

To find out who it is, it’s simple.

Investigate the person backing Song Guanchao.
