You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The office of the president of Ren'ai Hospital.

A hidden door slid open silently behind the bookshelf, and Sun Changming scrambled out, his whole body drenched in cold sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently. His face, which always wore a warm smile, was now filled with the shock of surviving a disaster and a vicious madness.

The suffocating darkness inside the secret passage, and the faint rumbling behind him, still haunt him to this day.

But he was, after all, an old fox who had been running his hellish schemes for decades.

After only a few seconds of losing his composure, he forced himself to calm down.

Sun Changming rushed into the built-in washroom, turned on the tap, and repeatedly rinsed his face and hands with the icy water, as if trying to wash away the thick, unyielding stench of blood and sin from the third basement level.

In the mirror, the wet face had eyes as sinister as a venomous snake.

He knew he had been exposed.

But he doesn't think he will lose.

So what if that damn undercover agent got the evidence?

As long as he doesn't admit it, as long as a complete chain of evidence hasn't been formed, and as long as he's still standing here, he has a chance to turn the tables!

Sun Changming quickly took off his expensive suit, which was already soaked with sweat, and took out another identical one from the wardrobe and put it on.

He straightened his tie, and looking in the mirror, the ferocity and ruthlessness on his face gradually faded away.

Instead, he adopted that familiar, compassionate, and venerable elder's demeanor.

It was as if the disheveled, homeless dog from before was just an illusion.

After doing all this, he strode to his desk, opened the computer case, took out a hard drive, cut it in two with a "snip" using a cigar cutter on the desk, and threw it into the strong acid solution.

Then, he turned the shredder up to its maximum power and sent in stacks of encrypted ledgers.

Amidst the ear-piercing shattering sound, Sun Changming picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed a number he knew by heart.

His voice regained its usual composure and authority, without the slightest hint of panic.

"it's me."

"Activate the highest level of emergency plan. I don't care what methods you use, I want to see Jiangcheng's top legal team in my office within fifteen minutes."

Yes, everyone.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Changming let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back into the leather chair that symbolized power.

He elegantly brewed himself a pot of fine Da Hong Pao tea, the fragrant aroma gradually calming his wildly beating heart.

Everything is still under control.

"Bang--!!!"

A loud bang!

The heavy mahogany door of the office was kicked open from the outside with brute force!

Amidst the flying sawdust, Su Qingge took the lead, her pretty face frosty, the sidearm in her hand gleaming with a cold metallic luster, the dark muzzle pointed directly at Sun Changming's forehead!

Behind her were more than ten heavily armed special police officers who instantly took control of all the exits of the office.

However, faced with this sudden shock, Sun Changming didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply and slowly skimmed the tea foam off with the cup lid, even giving Su Qingge a bewildered yet innocent expression.

"Captain Su, what are you doing?"

"Even if you're the police investigating a case, you can't just barge into the office of a municipal people's congress representative like this, can you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight men and women in suits, exuding a powerful aura, filed in from outside the door and stood between Sun Changming and the police's guns.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses, who was leading the group, handed a gold-embossed lawyer's letter directly to Su Qingge, his attitude extremely arrogant.

"Officer, we are Mr. Sun Changming's legal team."

"Your actions constitute unlawful intrusion and violent law enforcement without presenting a valid search warrant or arrest warrant."

"We reserve all rights to file lawsuits against you personally and the Jiangcheng Police Department!"

"Now, please leave this office immediately!"

"you!"

Su Qingge was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her knuckles turned white from gripping the gun so tightly.

The basement just self-destructed, burying all physical evidence under the poison gas and rubble. Although Lin Chen got the USB drive, it will take time to convert that data into valid evidence in court!

She currently has no irrefutable evidence to directly convict Sun Changming!

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, a disgusting voice rang out.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Li Mingyu, panting, squeezed in from behind the SWAT officers. Without even glancing at Su Qingge, he immediately started yelling at her.

"Su Qingge! Have you lost your mind?!"

"Who is Dean Sun? He's a philanthropist in Jiangcheng! A key entrepreneur under the city's protection! Without solid evidence, who gave you the audacity to lead a team to arrest people?!"

After scolding Su Qingge, he immediately put on a fawning smile and bowed and scraped to Sun Changming.

"Dean Sun, please don't be angry, please don't be angry!"

"This is all a misunderstanding! Some of the younger members of our team are impulsive and lack a sense of the bigger picture! I apologize to you on her behalf!"

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let them do anything reckless!"

This shameless performance drew contempt from all the police officers present.

Su Qingge was so angry that she trembled all over; she simply couldn't believe her ears.

She stared intently at Li Mingyu, her gaze as if she were looking at a hopeless idiot.

Sun Changming's "surprise" turned into "sudden realization" at just the right moment. He nodded approvingly at Li Mingyu, and then looked at Su Qingge with a pained expression.

"Sigh, Captain Su, I understand you young people's eagerness to make a name for yourselves, but you can't just slander an innocent person out of thin air!"

The atmosphere in the office became absurd and oppressive due to the meddling of the legal team and Li Mingyu.

The scales of victory seem to be tipping in Sun Changming's favor.

Just then.

The office door, which had been kicked open, was slowly pushed open again.

A tall, slender figure, bathed in the corridor lights, slowly walked in.

The man had one hand in his pocket and was carrying a rugged military-grade laptop in the other.

It was Lin Chen.

The disguise of a "butcher" on his face had long since been washed away, revealing his handsome and aloof true appearance.

He ignored the tense SWAT officers, the group of elite lawyers who were on high alert, and even Li Mingyu, who was jumping around like a clown, he didn't bother to look at him.

His gaze calmly swept over everyone and landed directly on the old fox behind the huge mahogany desk, who was still putting on an act.

Lin Chen's steps were slow, each step feeling like he was stepping on the heartbeats of everyone present.
