Chapter 204: Chapter 194: An Unexpected Event_2
The video had been spread, and there was no point in him covering up the incident any further.
He decided to inform Secretary Zhu about everything and see how he decided to handle the matter.
"So you're saying that our law enforcement officers are mainly to blame for this incident? And the video of the incident has been spread to the victim's family?" After hearing the explanation, Secretary Zhu's face darkened.
At that moment, he was massively disturbed.
He did not know if Lin Yun was behind this. Regardless, this issue was becoming a big problem.
Any policy enforcement that resulted in a loss of life was a major issue.
Several years ago, their region, spanning over dozen counties, had experienced a government campaign.
It was a massive operation, involving tens of millions of people, and the direct cost to the government was in the hundreds of millions, with the influence extending to even more capital.
It led to substantial grievances among the common people, but the campaign persisted nonetheless.
In the end, it proved problematic.
Several lives were lost in the campaign, not just one or two, but quite a few.
Eventually, the campaign drew the attention of the capital. Several orders were issued in succession to quell the uproar.
In the end, the campaign became a joke.
Some of the officials who organized the campaign did not meet a good end either.
Without Lin Yun, he would have had confidence in suppressing this issue.
But now that Lin Yun had appeared, especially given Lin Yun's animosity towards him, he did not have confidence in suppressing it any longer.
Let alone the possibility that Lin Yun was the culprit behind all this.
"I need you to send me the surveillance video of this incident immediately," Secretary Zhu commanded the person who had come to report.
"We… We… There… There has never been any surveillance video…" The person lowered his head and reluctantly replied.
"What? You... you guys..." Secretary Zhu pointed at the man in anger.
"I don't care where you find the video from, send me a full copy of it now," he finally said, suppressing his anger.
In reality, he was aware that the law enforcement officers did not take any surveillance videos.
Because the banning of tricycles had caused discontent among the people. The law enforcement process was often not very civil, and recording it would only be collecting evidence.
Initially, they planned to selectively record the videos in preparation for possible inspections from higher ups. However, after accumulating some videos, the people at the bottom found it cumbersome and discontinued the practice of video recording.
Taking into account that these videos would serve as evidence, he had tacitly approved this.
However, at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of anger welled up within him.
They were the ones enforcing the law, yet when something happened, they did not have any surveillance videos. Instead, they had to ask street vendors for video recordings. This was simply laughable.
Inside the office building.
The video had been found and sent over.
Watching these videos, Secretary Zhu's face kept changing.
The behavior of the law enforcement officers was excessive. He had a vague idea about various violations they committed. After all, this was not a big city and this kind of behavior was commonplace for lower-level law enforcement officers.
But now that a life had been lost, and it had been captured in these videos, this was no longer a trivial matter.
However, what he was even more concerned about was that these videos seemed quite natural from start to finish.
Perhaps, it was not the work of Lin Yun.
If it were indeed Lin Yun, unless the law enforcement officers were bribed.
"Charge these law enforcement officers with criminal responsibility, and compensate the victim's family with one million. Resolve this issue as soon as possible," Secretary Zhu finally gritted his teeth and gave the order.
Regardless of whether the law enforcement officers were compromised by Lin Yun, they had ruined his plans, and he did not intend to let them off.
"Wouldn't this be inappropriate? On one hand, wouldn't this discourage some people, and on the other hand, what if the families of these law enforcement officers make a fuss?" The person in front of Secretary Zhu hesitated.
There was an unspoken rule that when such an incident occurred, the punishment wouldn't be too severe.
After all, in this circle, no one was clean. If you pushed too hard and it became a major issue, it would not be beneficial for anyone.
"Then let's just compensate the victim's family with one million for now..." Secretary Zhu fell silent, finally closed his eyes, and said.
Just now, he had spoken too rashly out of impulse.
In particular, his suspicion that the law enforcement officers had been bribed by Lin Yun and the fact that Lin Yun had not given him any face only made him want to retaliate more.
"Yes…" The person nodded and left to handle the matter.
...
At the top floor of the Wangxian Tower.
Some people had completed their forms, and Lin Yun began to quickly analyze them.
He then discussed with some people, selecting potential partners for cooperation.
In the meantime, a few businessmen who had heard about Lin Yun's conflict with Secretary Zhu left.
Some of them did not believe the claims of Lin Yun investing 30 billion a year, thinking it was an exaggeration or even a scam.
Some of them were involved with Secretary Zhu due to their business interests, found it inappropriate to work with Lin Yun, did not believe that Lin Yun could challenge Secretary Zhu, and left as well.
Lin Yun didn't bother with these people.
More people stayed. The temptation of a 30 billion investment per year was simply too lucrative.
At three in the afternoon, Lin Yun finally wrapped up the matters at hand.
Then, Lin Yun had an in-depth discussion with Wang Zhan and a few other major merchants from Immortal Origin County about some issues.
Interestingly, the visiting businessmen trusted Lin Yun the most.
Or rather, they trusted Wang Zhan more.
Lin Yun had discussed some matters with them a couple of days ago, and they had already started taking action.
"An elderly person died during the tricycle ban enforcement?"
Coming out of Wangxian Tower, Lin Yun checked his superbrain and was shocked by the news. After viewing the videos, he felt a cold rage inside.
He already knew that many of the law enforcement officers were acting unreasonably.
He didn't expect that someone would eventually be harmed.
Online, in the Immortal Origin community.
Post after post was being put up, then deleted.
"The official reaction of Immortal Origin is quite fast."
Lin Yun searched for the incident, coldly commenting.
He wasn't the one who posted the threads, but deletion was related to the Immortal Origin officials.
It seemed that the Immortal Origin officials wanted to suppress this incident.
Although modern society is full of media, suppressing a matter is not easy.
But in this case, they didn't need to do much, just suppress the spur-of-the-moment anger of the bystanders.
Delete some posts, and when no one comments on later posts, they won't need to delete those either.
The public's interest always comes quickly and disappears just as fast.
Lin Yun used his superbrain to revoke the permissions of two administrators of the Immortal Origin community.

He just found out that the deletion of the posts was carried out by these two administrators. These administrators were likely to be in contact with the Immortal Origin County officials.
At the same time, Lin Yun made special changes to the Immortal Origin Community and other related communities.
So even if Immortal Origin County officials paid the website, they would fail to deal with it.
Lin Yun then didn't do anything to fan the flames.
He didn't like using the death of a person as a hype machine.
He just couldn't stand the actions of those who tried to cover up this incident.
He had a variety of ways to deal with certain people, and he didn't need to exploit the death of an individual.
Next, Lin Yun began doing his own things.
At the same time, he waited for Secretary Zhu to make his choice.
Although a sudden accident had occurred.
But he had given the other party a day, so he was going to allow them a day.
He had already monitored the other party's every move using special equipment. If the other party did not make a decision today, he would indeed make a decision for them.
This was his first time targeting the officials.
To be honest, he too wanted to know what the results would be.
