Redemption from the Abyss: The School Beauty Insists on Pulling Me Out of the Mire

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Zhang Jianguo abruptly shoved aside the cyber police officer next to him, who was still sweating profusely, and yelled, "Get out of the way! Let me handle this!"

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

Having worked in the Jiangcheng Public Security system for so many years, how could a bureau chief like him find out that a high school student lacked the authority to investigate?

If this gets out, how will he ever be able to work in the bureau again?

Zhang Jianguo strode to the computer and logged into his exclusive senior management account as the bureau chief.

"Snapped!"

He slammed the Enter key down.

However, a warning box popped up on the screen:

[Classified files, access is prohibited to anyone not at the provincial cyber security headquarters or above]

Zhang Jianguo's hand, which was holding the mouse, froze in mid-air.

"Classified files?" Zhang Jianguo muttered to himself, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He knew better than anyone what those four words meant.

Xie Wang leaned back comfortably in the interrogation chair, looking at Zhang Jianguo's unpredictable old face, and sighed understandingly:

"Director Zhang, this system is just upset that you haven't spent any money on in-game purchases."

Zhang Jianguo suddenly turned his head and stared at him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Just when Zhang Jianguo was in a dilemma.

"Bang!"

The iron door to the interrogation room was pushed open again.

The young policeman outside rushed in like his pants were on fire, holding a notebook in his hand: "Chief Zhang! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it now?!" Zhang Jianguo growled in frustration.

"The lawyers outside...the lawyers outside said they have to leave work on time!"

The young policeman swallowed hard, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"The top lawyer from the Su Group, who was in charge, said that if we didn't go through the legal summons process or release the person, they would directly sue us for illegal detention! And..."

"And what?!"

"And that female reporter at the door named Ye Wei even came up with the headline for the video news..." The young policeman opened his notebook and read it aloud with a death-defying air.

"Shocking! Why was a 19-year-old boy detained? Is it a distortion of humanity or a decline in power? ... Director Zhang, the entire internet is watching our branch."

Zhang Jianguo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his blood pressure shot to the top of his head.

Gu Nan, this time you've really screwed him over!

Before he could get angry, the landline on his desk rang.

"Ring ring ring—!!!"

Zhang Jianguo's heart skipped a beat.

This phone rarely rings, maybe twice a year, but when it does, it's always something truly earth-shattering.

His hands trembled as he wiped the cold sweat from his trouser leg and answered the receiver:

"Hello, this is Jiangcheng Branch, I'm Director Zhang Jianguo..."

On the other end of the phone, there was only a male voice with a standard Beijing accent.

"Zhang Jianguo, right?"

The man's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a muffled thunderclap, exploding directly on Zhang Jianguo's head.

"Yes, yes, may I ask who you are, sir...?"

Zhang Jianguo swallowed hard; his legs were starting to feel weak.

"I'm from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, and my surname is Lin."

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm, but every word was piercing.

"I heard that your Jiangcheng branch has recently become very well-equipped, skipping even the most basic reporting procedures and directly arresting one of our department's security experts?"

Zhang Jianguo's mind went blank.

"No, no... Leader Lin, please let me explain! There must be some misunderstanding! I received a report with my real name... no, an anonymous report, that's why I..."

"Evidence?" The leader from Beijing chuckled.

"You know perfectly well what's going on here!"

"I...I..." Zhang Jianguo's legs went weak.

"Sir, I really don't know his identity..."

"Shut up!"

The leaders in the capital interrupted him without hesitation, their voices carrying an unyielding, supreme will.

"Now, release Xie immediately. Then, take off your police uniform, hand over your weapon, pack your things, and prepare to be investigated by the inspectors' team!"

"Beep beep beep—"

Zhang Jianguo held the microphone in his hand, his face ashen.

Xie Wang, sitting in the interrogation chair, never once looked at him.

The boy merely frowned slightly:

"Director Zhang, can you hurry up and get the handcuffs removed? If we wait any longer, the sweet and sour pork ribs at the No. 1 Middle School cafeteria will be completely sold out."

……

Meanwhile, outside the gate of the Jiangcheng branch.

Compared to the police officers inside who were jumping up and down in a panic, Su Qinghe and Lu Wen, standing next to the Maybach, remained completely calm.

Su Qinghe quietly looked at the time on her phone, a gentle breeze lifting her high ponytail.

Lu Wen even took out his phone out of boredom and opened a food delivery app:

"Sister-in-law, I don't think Wangzi will be out anytime soon. How about we order some milk tea? I saw a BaWang ChaJi tea shop nearby..."

"squeak--"

Just then, a black Audi A6 with a provincial license plate braked suddenly and came to a stop aggressively at the bottom of the steps in front of the police station.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties rushed out, followed by two secretaries who were covered in sweat.

That's Director Gao from the provincial department.

Just as Director Gao was about to rush into the police station lobby, he caught a glimpse of Su Qinghe and Lu Wen, who both had outstanding presences.

He paused for a moment, then quickly walked over:

"Oh my, isn't this Xiao Su and Xiao Lu? What are you two kids doing standing here?"

Director Gao naturally recognized these two top-tier rich second-generation heirs from Jiangcheng, and he said with a smile:

"Your parents are both outstanding young entrepreneurs in our province, and they have made many contributions to the development of our province! However... Uncle Gao has encountered a very urgent matter today and really doesn't have time to entertain you. Please excuse me."

After saying that, Director Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to run into the police station lobby.

Uncle Gao.

Su Qinghe's cool voice rang out unhurriedly from behind, "You're in such a hurry because of Xie Wang, aren't you?"

Director Gao abruptly stopped in his tracks, nearly twisting his ankle on the steps.

He turned around, looking at the two high school students with a shocked expression: "You...you also know Xie Wang?"

"That's my half-brother!" Lu Wen patted his chest, pointing indignantly to the row of lawyers in suits behind him.

"He was arrested by these people for no reason today, and we're here with our lawyers demanding his release!"

After hearing this, Director Gao's eyes twitched twice.

What kind of living devil did Zhang Jianguo just capture?!

Director Gao took a deep breath, forced a gentle smile, and nodded solemnly to the two of them:

"Don't worry, Uncle Gao went in for this very reason. Your friend won't be wronged."
