Zhong Xiaoai chuckled and glanced sideways at him with her beautiful eyes: "Mr. Gao has already said so much, how could I possibly refuse?"

"Xu Zhongji, remember this: Li Xiang from the Municipal Bureau will be our informant starting today."

"After Zhao Lidong is brought down, rewards will be given based on the evidence provided by Li Xiang, and not a single one will be missed."

After saying that, Xu Zhong nodded hurriedly, indicating that he had remembered it...

……

After a while.

Gao Qilin turned and left the supervisory team's office, returning to the Gao family home.

At this moment, at Gao Qilin's home.

Gao Qilin pushed open the door and entered, and soon saw Chengcheng sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket and watching TV, with her long legs stretched out on the sofa.

Gao Qilin walked over and patted Chengcheng's long legs: "Why are you sitting here? Did you just come back from outside?"

Chengcheng smiled and nodded, then handed a prenatal checkup report to Gao Qilin: "Sister Shuting accompanied me to the hospital today, but she has already returned to the construction company."

"The baby is perfectly fine."

The ultrasound image in the report showed that the tiny baby had already taken shape, curled up in a ball, and had facial features.

Gao Qilin wasn't there when Chen Shuting was pregnant with Gao Yue, but now that regret has been resolved, a smile appeared on her lips.

"I'll go with you next time."

Upon hearing this, Chengcheng chuckled, then her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a hint of pride, "Sister Shuting didn't have you by her side when she was pregnant, but I did."

Gao Qilin chuckled helplessly and reached out to pinch Chengcheng's cheek.

"What's there to argue about?"

Chengcheng didn't speak, but simply hugged Gao Qilin's arm tighter: "You don't understand..."

……

the other side.

Inside Zhao Lidong's mayoral office.

At this moment.

Zhao Lidong sat at his desk and asked Secretary Wang, who was standing beside him, "How's the arrangement with Li Xiang going?"

A smile appeared on Secretary Wang's face.

"Don't worry, boss, I've already made arrangements for Li Xiang."

"Li Youtian will handle this for us; he promises he won't say anything!"

……

A few days later, in Jinghai City.

Within the Municipal Bureau.

in the corridor.

A pair of well-known best partners in the city bureau had an unprecedented argument!

"Li Xiang, what do you mean? I know you're from Mang Village, but you can't protect Li Youtian because of that!"

"What have I done to protect Li Youtian? I just want to find out the truth. Uncle Youtian has always been an honest man. How could he have killed Li Shun for no reason?"

"Li Shun might have fallen on his own!"

Li Xiang almost roared, the veins on his neck bulging.

An Xin was so angry that she punched Li Xiang, but the punch landed on the wall behind Li Xiang!

"Isn't the evidence conclusive enough? Li Youtian did push Li Shun, and he is definitely involved in Li Shun's death!"

"I suspect that you and Li Youtian are using your shared village background to smuggle things out of each other. I'm going to apply for your transfer away from Li Youtian's task force right now!"

Li Xiang pointed his briefcase at An Xin: "Why don't you give it a try!"

"Do you think you're the only one in the entire Jinghai City with powerful backers, with Director Meng and Director An backing you up, and that makes you think you're something special?"

"He really thinks he's the crown prince!"

The words fell.

An Xin glared fiercely at Li Xiang: "I'll take you for a fool!"

And this moment.

Their argument finally drew the attention of their colleagues, who intervened: "Alright, alright, what are you doing?"

"An Xin, don't you know who Li Xiang is?"

"Exactly, what's the point of arguing over something so trivial..."

The bureau chief, Cheng Du, was also disturbed by the commotion and slowly walked over: "What's going on?"

As the game progressed, the arena fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

An Xin, still furious, said with red eyes, "Reporting to the director, I'm reporting Li Xiang!"

"Li Xiang and Li Youtian have a personal relationship. Li Xiang is trying to protect Li Youtian and requests a temporary halt to the investigation!"

The words fell.

Cheng Du narrowed his eyes: "...Is that really true?"

For a moment, the police officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although everyone was Li Xiang's colleague, they all trusted his character.

But Li Xiang was acting really strange this time.

This was completely different from the interrogation of Cao Chuang.

During the interrogation of Li Youtian, Li Xiang not only made excuses and deliberately delayed the progress of the interrogation, but also frequently told his colleagues that Li Youtian was someone he had watched grow up and that was a good person.

Indeed... something's strange.

Especially given the conclusive evidence that Li Youtian killed Li Shun, including photographic evidence.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Seeing everyone's reaction, a hint of unintentional joy flashed in Cheng Du's eyes, and he looked at Li Xiang with appreciation.

Things then returned to normal.

"Okay, I've heard about everyone's reports."

"Have Li Xiang temporarily withdrawn from the task force, and have An Xin lead the team..."

……

soon.

In Gao Qilin's study.

Gao Qilin sat in the chair and dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number.

The call was answered quickly.

The voice still carried a hint of amusement: "Mr. Gao, is there good news to share on your phone?"

Gao Qilin smiled and said, "Of course, I wouldn't dare bother Team Leader Zhong unless it's absolutely necessary."

①00167105

"Li Xiang's plan was very successful. He had a fight with An Xin in front of Cheng Du, and An Xin submitted an application requesting that Li Xiang leave the Li Youtian task force."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai on the other end of the phone did not answer immediately.

He then sighed helplessly.

"This Zhao Lidong... he's practically turning the Municipal Public Security Bureau into a film crew."

"Hopefully, Li Xiang can really help us find some evidence."

Gao Qilin, however, was very certain of his father's opinion.

"Don't worry, everyone knows about Li Xiang and An Xin's relationship."

"This falling out will definitely give Zhao Lidong pause for thought, and it won't be long before he summons Li Xiang for a talk..."

Chapter 123 Gao Qilin is still the smartest!

In the municipal bureau dormitory.

Li Xiang and An Xin sat on their beds in the dormitory, staring at each other.

Li Xiang rubbed his hands together first: "Well, Anzi, you know what I said just now wasn't what I really meant. I just... just..."

An Xin waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, I know."

"If we don't have a fight, how can we get to Zhao Lidong's doorstep?"

"Taking this opportunity, we can also test what the relationship is between Cheng Du and Zhao Lidong."

"I must say, the trick Gao Qilin provided is actually quite useful."
