County Magistrate Hou was just about to rest when he received the phone call.
After listening to Director Yao's report, any trace of sleepiness instantly vanished.
"Make sure the person is settled. I'll be right over."
He didn't curse out loud, it was pointless.
What mattered most now was solving the problem.
Venting emotions was of no help in addressing the issue.
County Magistrate Hou got dressed, didn't contact his driver, and drove himself to the Police Department.
He was now the top leader in Dujiang County. When trouble arose, he had no one to turn to but himself.
On the way, County Magistrate Hou's face was grim.
He had been in the role of acting County Party Secretary for less than two days when this incident happened.
If Director Yao hadn't been groomed by him, he would have had him removed tonight!
Every day was without serious incident until suddenly, something major would be thrust upon him.
The police had arrested military personnel.
