"Who let you in?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin simply smiled faintly.

At that moment, Zhong Xiaoai raised her eyebrows.

I had long heard that Gao Qilin was very well-connected in Jinghai City, and that he treated the Municipal Bureau like his own home.

It seems... this rumor is true.

But soon.

Gao Qilin then said calmly, "Me? I'm just a concerned citizen who submitted a report, and of course I'm not here to see you today."

"They came to see Team Leader Zhong."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin handed the letter in his hand to Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhong Xiaoai looked up and apologized to Cheng Du.

All of a sudden.

Cheng Du was furious!

This is completely disregarding oneself, and not even treating oneself as a human being.

This is my own bureau chief's office. What does it mean that Zhong Xiaoai came here to collect a letter of complaint?

He has a powerful backer, Young Master Zhao!

Did Zhong Xiaoai consider what Young Master Zhao would think? Or... did she not even take Young Master Zhao seriously?

The more Cheng Du thought about it, the angrier he became.

But at this moment, Zhong Xiaoai clearly didn't want to give Cheng Du too much time, and quickly waved the letter in her hand.

"Excuse me, Director Cheng, I have received a report concerning you."

"The whistleblower letter claims that the original director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was Guo Jianwen, the director of the Shuangqiao District Police Station, but he was temporarily replaced by Cheng Du on the eve of taking office."

"I suspect that someone behind you has illegally disrupted China's transfer order, and we need your temporary cooperation in our investigation."

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Cheng Du's face twitched involuntarily, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

impossible.

It's impossible for them to actually arrest and investigate me for such a trivial matter, right?

I've held this position as bureau chief for quite some time now.

Moreover, Young Master Zhao can completely guarantee my safety...

As he thought about it, Cheng Du's gaze couldn't help but darken.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai shrugged lightly, "Director Cheng, I didn't mean anything by it."

"We would appreciate your cooperation in our investigation and request that you refrain from interfering in matters concerning Zhao Lidong for the time being."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin smiled and poked his head out the door, calling someone in.

Not long after.

Several men in suits and uniforms, with badges on their chests, walked over and saluted Cheng Du.

"Chengdu, please cooperate with our investigation now and go to the investigation team's office..."

……

Not long after.

Inside Zhao Lidong's interrogation room.

There was a knock on the door, and Meng Dehai subconsciously stood up and said to An Xin beside him, "I'll go out for a bit."

An Xin nodded slightly.

But at this moment, Zhao Lidong revealed a smug look.

Who could just casually summon Meng Dehai away?

Perhaps things are finally looking up for me.

It seems that delaying the inevitable is indeed useful...

And soon.

Meng Dehai then got up and left the interrogation room.

Outside the interrogation room at this moment.

Gao Qilin was looking at Meng Dehai with a smile.

Meng Dehai's usually stern face slowly broke into a smile as he patted Gao Qilin's shoulder forcefully: "You brat, did you get it done?"

Gao Qilin nodded: "We've already discussed it with Zhong Xiaoai. We're using the transfer information that Old Huang had left behind."

"Chengdu must now cooperate with the procedures to leave the Municipal Bureau."

Meng Dehai nodded slightly.

The degree of his work is completely different from that of Zhao Lidong.

Cheng Du was just a bureau chief, and their goal was simply to get him to leave the municipal bureau temporarily so he wouldn't interfere in Zhao Lidong's affairs.

As for Zhao Lidong, it was because he didn't want to alert the enemy, and it was absolutely unacceptable to take away a mayor without solid evidence.

The impact on the entire city of Jinghai is enormous.

But it's different now.

Firstly, the evidence is conclusive.

Secondly...

The fact that Cheng Du couldn't interfere in the case gave Meng Dehai maximum room to maneuver.

Thinking this, Meng Dehai took out An Xin's walkie-talkie and said, "Zhang Biao, Zhang Biao."

Police officer Zhang Biao's voice quickly came through: "District Chief Meng? What's the matter?"

Meng Dehai quickly said, "Apply for a witness transfer and bring Cao Chuang out of the detention center."

As soon as Meng Dehai finished speaking, Zhang Biao quickly agreed.

At this moment, Gao Qilin also showed a slight smile on his face.

"It's time... for Cao Chuang's family to be reunited."

……

After a while.

Wearing prison clothes from the Jinghai City Detention Center and handcuffed, Cao Chuang entered the Municipal Public Security Bureau under the half-cuffing, half-supporting supervision of Zhang Biao.

Soon they arrived at the corridor leading to the interrogation room. Looking at Meng Dehai in front of him, Cao Chuang showed a hint of shame.

Meng Dehai sighed: "If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Cao Chuang did not answer Meng Dehai's question directly. Instead, with a glimmer of hope on his face, he slowly raised his head and asked, "Director Meng, have my wife and child... been found?"

Meng Dehai hummed in agreement, then gestured to Gao Qilin beside him: "Thank this kid."

Upon hearing this, Cao Chuang subconsciously looked over, then sighed.

"It was you from the beginning, and it's you now that it's over... Thank you."

After he finished speaking, Gao Qilin merely curled his lips slightly: "Cao Chuang, if you want to repay me, tell me everything you know."

"District Chief Meng said that he could let you see your wife and children for a moment."

……

After a while.

Inside the interrogation room.

Cao Chuang faced Meng Dehai, head bowed, and remained silent.

Meng Dehai took a sip of tea from his thermos: "Old Cao, you've seen your family and confirmed they're safe. Can you tell us now?"

Cao Chuang finally nodded and slowly spoke.

He recounted the exchange he had made with Meng Dehai back then...
