Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

"Officers, are you sure you've made a mistake?" Lin Zheng said.

"Are you Lin Zheng?" the policeman on the left asked.

"I am Lin Zheng, but I know nothing about the murder case you are talking about."

The policeman on the right took out handcuffs and handcuffed Lin Zheng.

We will investigate the case.

"What you need to do now is cooperate with our work."

Lin Zheng was taken away in full view of everyone.

The meeting room erupted in boos.

Zhang Wenhai looked smug as he watched Lin Zheng being taken away.

"You dare to anonymously report me? Let's see who can save you this time."

A day earlier, Chen Kexin made a deal with him.

Chen Kexin submitted a document about a production accident to him, asking him to forward it to the procuratorate.

The materials clearly state that Zhang Wenshan was involved in a fatal accident at a real estate development in Donghai South District three months ago.

An accident occurred during the foundation laying process; a worker accidentally fell into the pit and died.

In order not to affect the progress of the project, Zhang Wenshan chose to settle the matter privately with the deceased's family.

He took out 1.2 million yuan and entrusted Chen Kexin to handle the matter entirely.

Chen Kexin did not do as Zhang Wenshan instructed.

She secretly buried the deceased in a deserted area not far from the housing development and embezzled the compensation money.

After Zhang Wenshan's accident, the clever Chen Kexin changed the name of the person in charge of handling the accident to Lin Zheng.

With this document, Lin Zheng had no chance to escape this time.

Inside the police car, Lin Zheng's heart was pounding.

A murder case is no small matter; it could cost him his life.

His report went unanswered and instead led to a murder case.

This fully demonstrates that Zhang Wenhai has powerful backers, and these backers have extensive connections and influence.

If I don't find a way myself, I'm afraid I really won't be able to get out this time.

Lin Zheng thought for a moment, then took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at his uncle next to him.

The two police officers merely glanced at him and did not stop him.

Seeing this, Lin Zheng quickly edited a short message and sent it out.

After finishing everything, he closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, the police car drove into the Donghai South District Police Station.

Lin Zheng was taken into a separate interrogation room.

The police removed his handcuffs and closed the interrogation room door.

An hour passed quickly, and Lin Zheng, looking at his phone in the interrogation room, frowned deeply.

An hour has passed and there's still no news. Isn't this woman worried?

Just as he was wondering whether to send another message, his phone vibrated and he received a reply.

Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. Lin Zheng deleted the message and put his phone back in his pocket.

The door opened, and instead of police officers, Xu Xiumei, who had threatened him on the phone earlier, walked in.

This woman has changed a lot in just a few days.

She wore heavy, glamorous makeup, and her perfect figure, encased in a bodycon skirt and black fishnet stockings, exuded a wild and alluring charm.

But in Lin Zheng's eyes, this outfit was no different from those of women who worked as prostitutes on the street.

Xu Xiumei sat in front of Lin Zheng, her expression haughty.

"So, did you believe me when I told you you'd be reinvestigated?"

"If you came here to laugh at me, you're probably going to be disappointed," Lin Zheng replied calmly.

Are you looking for a joke?

Xu Xiumei's gaze was fixed on Lin Zheng's face, and she shook her head with disdain.

"I don't have that kind of hobby, and besides, what kind of joke would you make with your pathetic, poor appearance?"

"I came here to talk to you."

Lin Zheng immediately became interested.

"What are we talking about? Did Zhang Wenhai send you?"

"That's right, Zhang Wenhai sent me."

"I am his woman now, and I am pregnant with his child."

"He was the same person who messed with me on the phone last time."

"Actually, I've been with Zhang Wenhai for a long time, and I was the one who submitted the materials to Zhang Wenhai to report Zhang Wenshan."

Xu Xiumei's words were tinged with humiliation and glee, as she wanted Lin Zheng to know that she had cheated on him many times.

But she was disappointed.

Lin Zheng simply smiled faintly after hearing this.

"If you've come here to flaunt how despicable you are, then please go back."

"you…"

Xu Xiumei was so angry that she trembled all over, her face contorted with rage.

"Lin Zheng, I know you're really upset, but you just won't admit it."

"No one can be indifferent to having a vast green grassland above their head."

"I'm your girlfriend, and I'm pregnant with someone else's child. Aren't you angry?"

angry?

Lin Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even if you were to have a baby with a pig right now, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit emotional."

"If you don't believe me, you can throw a pig in front of me and see if what I'm saying is true."

Xu Xiumei gritted her teeth, but thinking of what Zhang Wenhai had told her, she managed to suppress her anger.

"Lin Zheng, I'm not going to argue with you about these useless things."

"Zhang Wenhai is asking you to hand over the USB drive; he guarantees you'll be fine."

"A guarantee? What guarantees does he have?" Lin Zheng retorted.

"He...he..."

"In short, hand over the USB drive, and we can discuss anything."

"What if I don't hand over the USB drive?"

Lin Zheng looked at Xu Xiumei, who was agitated, as if he were watching a joke.

Xu Xiumei coldly threatened, "If you don't hand over the USB drive, you're dead."

"If Zhang Wenhai could get you in here, he naturally has ways to keep you locked up inside for life."

"If you don't hand over the USB drive, you'll just have to live out your days in jail."

"So, are you panicking now?"

Lin Zheng said, "Xu Xiumei, you are really capable."

"In three years, how come I never discovered you were this kind of woman?"

Xu Xiumei said smugly, "It's not too late to find out now."

"Zhang Wenhai said that you can leave if you hand over the USB drive."

"If you don't hand over the USB drive, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail."

"I can hand over the USB drive, but I have one condition," Lin Zheng said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiumei immediately perked up.

"You said that as long as I can satisfy you, I will never refuse."

"When I came here, I thought about it myself and realized that I had never been involved in anything related to human life during my years in the company."

"What methods did Zhang Wenhai use to drag me into this?"

"Tell me about this, and I'll tell you where the USB drive is located."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiumei hesitated.

But thinking about it, Lin Zheng is about to go in, so it doesn't matter if I tell him.

"Do you remember the unexpected incident at the Zhangwenshan South District development project three months ago?"

"Zhang Wenshan gave Chen Kexin full authority to handle it, but she didn't."

"She has a document in her hand, and you are the person in charge of it."

"Based on this document and the signature, the prosecutor's office then launched an investigation into you."

Lin Zheng looked furious, but then immediately realized what he meant.

Just as he predicted, Chen Kexin was secretly doing something else behind his back.

On the surface, she agreed to all his conditions, but secretly she conspired with Zhang Wenhai to deliver a fatal blow.

Unload the mill and kill the donkey!

Chen Kexin played this move brilliantly.

Xu Xiumei looked smug.

"Now I'll tell you everything. Now you should tell me where the USB drive is hidden."

"I know Zhang Wenhai left you a way to save your life."

"But I'm warning you, no one can help you now, and no one can save you."
