Chapter 863 Apologize? Why?
Although Ms. Wu left, many police officers in the station complained about her. After all, it was rare to see such unreasonable people.

But Lin Hao knew that things would not just go away like that. In fact, when he saw the slap on Xia Jie's face yesterday, Lin Hao knew that things would not just go away like that, so he investigated Ms. Wu's information.

Ms. Wu is well-known in the community. She has a bad temper, a stubborn personality, and extremely poor relations with her neighbors. She has also had conflicts with patients' families at the hospital where she works.

Even according to these neighbors, her husband was a nice person, but he couldn't stand her somewhat neurotic personality, so he tried to divorce her.

Unfortunately, Ms. Wu disagreed and instead quarreled with him even more. Her husband simply went out and found another woman to live with.

This further exacerbated Ms. Wu's madness, making her personality even worse and her temper even more violent.

These things caused her to become extreme towards her daughter. In order to prevent her from leaving her side, she tried to control her daughter completely.

Last night, Xia Jie asked her to have a blood test, and Ms. Wu took the opportunity to vent her anger on Xia Jie and started acting crazy.

Since we know this will happen, some things need to be done in advance. If Ms. Wu really wants to use the old trick of reporting, Lin Hao will play along with her and see who can't stand it.

However, he is no longer a free person, so although some methods can be used, Lin Hao does not want to use them.

As a policeman and a civil servant, it is impossible for me to kill people at every turn. It is better to resolve the matter within the scope permitted by the rules.

For example, find local TV stations and private media to expose this matter.

After all, the right and wrong of this matter is clear at a glance. As long as you know the truth of the whole matter, basically everyone will stand on Xia Jie's side rather than Ms. Wu's side.

So Lin Hao used his skills to contact the leaders of the TV station, handed them the prepared evidence, and asked them to broadcast it as soon as possible.

Afterwards, he contacted several self-media outlets and used his skills to guide them, waiting for the TV stations to report on the incident and hype up the incident.

Ms. Wu's search for her child caused a big commotion last night. So many police officers were searching together, asking door to door, and people thought something big had happened, but in the end, the child was at a classmate's house.

Later, she beat the child and slapped Xia Jie. The next day, she ran to the police station and threatened Xia Jie to apologize to her. This series of actions can be regarded as a weird gossip news.

After the news is broadcast, given that Ms. Wu has a very bad reputation, a series of negative information will be exposed.

Then, through the neighbors in the community, we can dig deeper into Ms. Wu to see what other weird things she has done and let everyone see her character.

After making preparations, Lin Hao went out on patrol. It took him half an hour to get there, and he arranged this matter by the way.

······
The next morning, Wang Shouyi had just entered the office when his cell phone rang. He saw it was Director Song calling.

Wang Shouyi felt bad, but he still answered:

"Director Song, what's going on? It's Xia Jie! Cheng Hao reported this to me yesterday. I've also learned about the situation. Ms. Wu came to report the case and insisted on reporting it as a missing person case. Xia Jie asked her to draw blood as requested. It was a normal procedure!"

After explaining for a long time, Wang Shouyi felt it was too much trouble and subconsciously started to smooth things over:

"Yes, yes, yes. Perhaps it is possible that our work attitude is not good, which makes her not so satisfied. However, we will definitely correct it in the future and will not let the same situation happen again. I hope the leader can understand!"

"After she called the police, we dispatched a large number of police officers and helped her find the child in just over ten minutes. We did a great job in this regard!"

Director Song said helplessly in his office:

"Master, I feel relieved when you say that. Xia Jie is indeed not at fault!"

"It's just that now it's under public supervision. While we are fulfilling our duties, we must also take into account the feelings of the citizens. The police and the people are like one family!"

"Director Song, you also came up from the bottom. Don't you know what grassroots work is like? You have to protect your comrades at the grassroots level!"

Director Song sighed and then said:

"However, I will not ask you to apologize. My only request is that you resolve the complaint as soon as possible and stop letting her interfere with our normal work!"

Wang Shouyi agreed upon hearing this:
"Understood. I will convey the director's instructions at the meeting tomorrow to improve the quality of our work and humbly accept supervision from the general public!"

Director Song said with satisfaction: "Master, I trust you to do the job! I believe that under your leadership, Balihe Police Station will surely create greater glory!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shouyi sighed.

Ye Wei happened to be passing by and heard him sighing. She walked in and asked, "Director, why are you sighing again?"

Wang Shouyi rubbed his temple and sighed:
"Cheng Hao is right. Xia Jie has indeed been complained about. Why is she so stubborn?"

"Xia Jie looks like a well-behaved child, but she is actually stubborn, just like her father. Although she doesn't say it, she has a very righteous mind!"

Ye Wei disagreed with Wang Shouyi's words from the bottom of his heart, frowned and asked with difficulty:

"No, I haven't figured out what Xia Jie did wrong."

Wang Shouyi looked at Ye Wei in disbelief and said:
"Ye Wei, you are the instructor, why do you stick to principles when dealing with major issues? But this matter involving Doctor Wu is at most a minor matter caused by a family dispute!"

"Are you going to use the law to punish her just because of this? Have their company fire her, or deprive her of her custody rights?"

At this moment, Lin Hao suddenly came in and interrupted:

"Director, I have a different opinion. Since there is nothing wrong with our procedures, why should we ask Xia Jie to apologize? Just because of Ms. Wu's unreasonable demands, we can't even protect our own comrades, so how can we protect the people?"

Wang Shouyi was stunned for a moment, pointing at Lin Hao and said, "Boy, when have I ever failed to protect my comrades?"

Lin Hao asked curiously: "Then why did you ask Xia Jie to apologize?"

Wang Shouyi said sternly, "I am protecting her, so I asked her to apologize. Otherwise, if Ms. Wu pesters me and reports us every day, how can we live in peace in the future? Can we handle other cases?"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "Director, you are avoiding the main point by saying this!"

"Not only did you not find a way to resolve the conflict, but you also forced your comrades to compromise. You kept saying that you were doing this for Xia Jie's own good, but in fact you wanted to sacrifice her to preserve the so-called harmonious atmosphere."

"And considering Xia Jie's personality, I think she would rather be punished than accept your kindness!"

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't give him any face at all, Wang Shouyi glared at Lin Hao and said, "You kid, do you know what it means to put the overall situation first~!"

Afterwards, Lin Hao and Wang Shouyi argued for a few sentences, but neither of them convinced the other, and they finally parted unhappily.

But Lin Hao knew that facing the pressure from the bureau, Wang Shouyi would still try to persuade Xia Jie to apologize.

Although Director Song stated explicitly and implicitly that he only wanted Wang Shouyi to resolve the complaint and did not ask about the method he used.

After Lin Hao left, Wang Shouyi hesitated for a moment, but still decided to do some ideological work on Xia Jie.

Although Lin Hao's words made sense, asking Xia Jie to apologize was the simplest and quickest way to solve the problem. So he advised Ye Wei:
"Instructor, you are in charge of the ideological work of the institute. You can't ignore Xia Jie's affairs. Call Xia Jie over and we will work together to do ideological work on her."

Ye Wei hesitated for a moment: "Director, are we really going to persuade Xia Jie to apologize?"

Wang Shouyi said helplessly:

"What else can we do? The bureau asked us to resolve this as soon as possible. It's clear from the first glance that Ms. Wu is not someone who will give up easily. How can we continue to waste time with her?"

Ye Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "I think what Lin Hao said just now does make some sense. How about calling Lin Hao over as well? Once the three of us have reached a consensus, we can work together to persuade Xia Jie to do something ideological?"

Wang Shouyi glared at her and said:
"Instructor, we must put the overall situation first. Let Lin Hao help Xia Jie with her thoughts. I'm afraid he will help Xia Jie with our thoughts!"

"Let's just take responsibility for this conversation. Don't notify Lin Hao. If Xia Jieruo knows that Lin Hao supports her, she won't compromise even though she should have!"

Ye Wei smiled helplessly: "Okay! I'll get someone here right away!"

A few minutes later, Xia Jie appeared at the door: "Report!"

Wang Shouyi greeted her enthusiastically and said, "Xia Jie, come in quickly. Has your mother returned from Qingdao?"

Xia Jie said speechlessly: "Director, you just asked about this a few days ago!"

Wang Shouyi pointed at her and joked, "Haha, girl, you don't give people a way out when you speak!"

Xia Jie said calmly:
"Captain, don't mention my mother. What happened in the past is all in the past. I am just an ordinary police officer in the station now. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

Wang Shouyi rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly:
"Xia Jie, this is it, you did nothing wrong in what happened to Ms. Wu, now we all know it!"

"But Ms. Wu is a stubborn person. She keeps complaining about you and our office, and even went to the inspection team of the bureau to complain."

"Not for anything else, just for an apology. Xia Jie, just treat it as a sign of forgiveness and let it go. Shall we apologize?"

Xia Jie bit her lip and looked at Wang Shouyi in disbelief. She was already disappointed that her master asked her to apologize.

She didn't expect that the amiable director Wang Shouyi, whom she admired, would ask her to apologize. She felt extremely wronged.

"Director, you can ask me to apologize, but can you please tell me where I went wrong?"

Wang Shouyi was speechless for a moment, he could only look at Ye Wei and said awkwardly:

"Look at this child, she has the same temper as her father!"

As the instructor of the institute, although he was reluctant, he had to join the persuasion team when he thought of what Wang Shouyi had said before.

Ye Wei thought about it and advised from another angle:
"Xia Jie, strictly speaking, the person concerned is anxious because she can't find her child. Your words have irritated her sensitive nerves."

"Of course you did nothing wrong, but you could have told her at the time that this case did not meet the criteria for filing a missing persons case."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie immediately said, "It really doesn't meet the conditions for filing a missing persons case!"

"I told her right there and then, but she wouldn't give in. She started a scene with me and insisted on filing a missing persons case!"

"In that case, if I directly refuse to file a missing person case, will she be even angrier and report me even more crazily?"

"If things had really developed to that point, would you not have urged me to apologize today?"

"So, whether I agreed to file a missing person case or not, the trouble was inevitable."

Ye Wei was stumped by the question, but knowing Ms. Wu, the result was not difficult to guess. After all, she was there to cause trouble.

Wang Shouyi quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Xia Jie, you are still young. Some things are not as simple as you think. You have to compromise when you need to!"

Xia Jie argued and asked again: "Director, I am young and don't quite understand what you are saying. Can you tell me what I am wrong with?"

Wang Shouyi was overwhelmed at this moment, and after struggling for a long time, he said:

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that she's causing trouble everywhere, making it impossible for the bureau and the institute to carry out their work normally."

"Do you think we should swallow our pride and apologize, and ask for peace and quiet, or should we just let her make a scene and affect the normal work of the institute?"

Xia Jie looked at him and said in a depressed mood: "Director, do you mean that I have affected the normal work of the institute?"

Wang Shouyi said: "I don't mean that. I mean that as a police officer, you will meet all kinds of people. Don't get involved with the masses."

Xia Jie immediately asked back: "So, are you saying that the masses have a low level of awareness?"

Wang Shouyi had a headache. He didn't expect Xia Jie to be so stubborn, so he said unhappily:
"You kid, you're really good at confronting me."

"Xia Jie, even if it's for the sake of the bureau and the institute, just apologize. It's just a matter of a few words. Apologizing won't cost you anything."

Xia Jie said stubbornly: "I won't apologize. I did nothing wrong. If I apologize, where is my dignity as a police officer?"

Lin Hao was in his office. He had just hung up the phone call from the Municipal Bureau.

Then he seemed to hear Xia Jie's voice faintly, and Lin Hao immediately realized that Wang Shouyi had started to work on Xia Jie's thoughts again.

Lin Hao shook his head speechlessly, then stood up, opened the door and walked over!
Wang Shouyi wanted to say something, but Lin Hao walked in and said:
"Director, please don't force Xia Jie to bow her head. In my opinion, Xia Jie is great."

"As a glorious people's policeman, you should have this attitude. You should not be afraid of hardships and power, and you must not let your comrades suffer in order to appease those unreasonable people!"

Wang Shouyi glared at Lin Hao in dissatisfaction: "I'm doing Xia Jie's work, and you come to mess with me again?"

Lin Hao said calmly: "Director, I'm not making trouble. I just don't want our comrades to be wronged!"

"Xia Jie did everything according to procedure and did nothing wrong. Why should she apologize?"

"We can sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the greater good. For the sake of fairness and justice, it doesn't matter how much we suffer, but we cannot sacrifice our comrades for those unreasonable and evil people."

"If you give in to these unreasonable people, they will become more aggressive and think that the police are just like that, and then they will lose their respect for the police and even disregard the law and embark on the road of crime."

Finally, Lin Hao said earnestly: "Director, have you ever thought that your connivance is also a crime!"
