139: Chapter 138 Yang Tian never does anything stupid!!

Once Douyin operations release a valuable video into the traffic pool, it's equivalent to putting it on a competition stage.

Data such as likes, comments, and shares from netizens determine whether these videos can advance to the next, larger traffic pool.

After the operations manager finished the call, the backend operations directly released these five videos into a traffic exposure pool with tens of millions of viewers.

With this massive wave of traffic and a fan base with an activity rate of over sixty percent, the five videos posted by Yang Tian became an instant hit across the entire internet.

In less than two hours, the average number of likes for the five videos exceeded fifty thousand, comments surpassed five thousand, and shares reached a staggering two hundred thousand.

That is to say, more than two hundred thousand people had already shared these videos.

Their reach had essentially covered the entire country.

"Bang!"

Seeing these figures, Deputy County Magistrate Wang Haiyang slammed his fist onto the desk in front of him.

Standing before him, Health Commission Director Zeng Ronglu and Qiancheng Hospital President Xie Ming couldn't help but shudder.

"What are you all good for? The video is already going viral online, and the topic has reached the top thirty on the trending list. Why haven't you taken action?" Wang Haiyang roared at them, incensed.

Zeng Ronglu immediately responded, "We took action and contacted Douyin officials, but they said these videos were officially released by the Yucheng Public Security Bureau and that there's nothing illegal or fabricated about them!"

Wang Haiyang's expression hardened as he gritted his teeth. "Why would the Yucheng Public Security Bureau do this? Don't they fear the wrath of the higher-ups?"

"Perhaps Deputy County Magistrate Liao of the Public Security Bureau is completely unaware, and this is just the personal behavior of the video account's blogger?" Xie Ming suggested.

Wang Haiyang pondered for a moment and then picked up his phone.

Yucheng County Public Security Bureau.

Just as Liao Jiancheng finished listening to Fu Yu's report from the Cyber Police Brigade regarding this matter, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was from Deputy County Magistrate Wang Haiyang.

In terms of administrative rank, both he and Wang Haiyang were Deputy County Magistrates, but he was only in charge of public security, whereas Wang Haiyang oversaw multiple departments, including environment, health, and disease control.

Therefore, in the ranking of Deputy County Magistrates, Wang Haiyang outranked him.

Although he had already guessed the intent behind the call, he still had to answer it.

"Look, another one."

Liao Jiancheng gestured to Fu Yu and answered the call.

As expected.

Wang Haiyang didn't bother with pleasantries. He got straight to the point and shouted, "County Magistrate Liao, I'll ask you one question: are the videos posted by this Fishing Detective his personal actions, or do they represent your County Bureau?"

This question was like a bombshell dropped in front of Liao Jiancheng.

If he said it was Yang Tian's personal behavior, it would be equivalent to throwing Yang Tian under the bus, leaving him at their mercy.

But if he said it represented the Public Security Bureau, he would be held accountable if the higher-ups blamed them.

After all, this matter was no longer a simple criminal case; it involved a public Level 3 Grade B hospital and several doctors within it.

To put it simply, this matter was too big—a weight that a mere Deputy County Magistrate like him could not bear.

Seeing Liao Jiancheng remain silent for a long time, Fu Yu, who was sitting in front of him, anxiously reminded him.

"County Magistrate Liao, this is definitely Yang Tian's personal behavior; it has nothing to do with our Public Security Bureau."

Liao Jiancheng glared at Fu Yu, who immediately shut his mouth.

"I cannot give you an immediate answer to anything before it has been verified. Once I have a clear understanding of the truth, I will naturally give you an answer."

Liao Jiancheng finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Fu Yu looked at Liao Jiancheng in total confusion.

"Leader, this is clearly a pit Yang Tian dug for our County Bureau. Why didn't you explain it clearly to County Magistrate Wang and distance yourself from Yang Tian?"

Liao Jiancheng looked at Fu Yu with a solemn expression. "As long as Yang Tian is still working at the Public Security Bureau and is still my soldier, I will not distance myself from him, sit idly by, or betray my subordinate!"

Fu Yu hurriedly added, "Leader, the situation with Yucheng Hospital has reached a point where it's almost out of control. If the higher-ups blame us, who will take the responsibility?"

Liao Jiancheng responded calmly, "I will not be anxious about things that haven't happened yet, and you don't need to use the higher-ups to pressure me. I have my own principles and ways of doing things."

Though he spoke this way, he was indeed uncertain in his heart.

Public opinion spread too fast online, covering too much ground with too much impact. Netizens had too few channels to verify facts and lacked objective judgment, making them easily swayed by the emotions in the video content. This could lead to erroneous discourse and further amplify the situation, with unimaginable consequences.

Thinking of this, Liao Jiancheng dialed the Office Director's number.

"Notify all members of the Bureaus Party Committee to come to the conference room for an emergency meeting in ten minutes."

"Yes, sir."

"And one more thing."

"Please go ahead."

"Expand the meeting to include two more people: Yang Tian and Fu Yu."

"Yes, sir."

Ten minutes later, all members of the Party Committee arrived.

Fang Yihong was the last to arrive.

Liao Jiancheng turned his head to look at him.

"Where's Yang Tian?"

"He's out on a call, Leader. He won't be back for a while. I'm his director; if there's anything, I can handle it on his behalf," Fang Yihong responded softly as he took his seat.

Liao Jiancheng pondered for a few seconds.

"Alright then, let's start the meeting!"

He said with a serious expression, "I presume everyone has noticed the negative videos online regarding the doctors in the Gastroenterology Department of Yucheng Hospital."

"I won't go into detail about the content. There are two key points right now: one is that the blogger who posted the video is Yang Tian, the Deputy Director of the Yucheng Police Station under our County Bureau."

"The other point is that while there is plenty of evidence to support the video's content, so far, no unit has accepted the case, including the Health Commission and the Discipline Inspection Commission. Therefore, whether the video content is authentic remains to be seen."

Liao Jiancheng leaned back in his chair and scanned the room. "Now, I want to hear everyone's opinions on how to handle this matter correctly and objectively!"

"County Magistrate Liao."

As soon as Liao Jiancheng finished speaking, Fu Yu immediately raised his hand.

Liao Jiancheng looked at him and nodded.

Fu Yu spoke bluntly, "I think we should immediately demand that Yang Tian delete the videos and make a public apology online!"

"I disagree!"

Fang Yihong immediately raised his hand in objection.

Liao Jiancheng looked at him and asked, "What's your reason?"

Although Fang Yihong was still completely in the dark, he chose to believe in Yang Tian, just as he had before.

Thus, he responded with absolute conviction, "Because Yang Tian never does anything stupid!"

Fu Yu was speechless. "This is a typical subjective judgment based on personal emotion. You can't protect him just because he's your subordinate and has earned several merits. This is actually harming him!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Duxiu immediately nodded. "That's right, Director Fang. If you turn a blind eye, you're harming him, and you're harming our Public Security Bureau as well!"
