Chapter 70

After a few deep breaths, Xu Yun finally calmed down. It seemed he must find a way to break through his mental barrier; otherwise, he might end up being a half-baked practitioner for the rest of his life.

Sigh, thinking about this, Xu Yun felt a bit regretful. He was such a talented young man, and his master had once said he had an unlimited future. Every brother around him envied his innate talent.

There were not many people who could reach the realm of a first-class expert at the age of eighteen, and Xu Yun was one of them. For years, everyone had been looking forward to Xu Yun becoming the first person in the world to join the ranks of super experts before the age of twenty-five. But no one expected that he would be suppressed by a mental demon due to the tragic death of the Silver Dragon, and his cultivation had not progressed for a whole year.

It was just one step away. Although Xu Yun still had a carefree appearance, deep down, he wanted to free himself from the mental demon's suppression more than anyone else. This was also the reason why he left that place; the immense pressure forced him to choose to step back.

Due to the slight change in his mental state, Xu Yun did not sleep well all night. In the evening, he heard Qiu Yan enter and exit the herbal restaurant three times, and it was clear that she was genuinely worried and cautious about the S-level wanted criminal that Qin Wan'er had mentioned.

After getting up early in the morning, everyone followed their routine. Sunday was a beautiful day for those on a two-day weekend, but for Xu Yun and the others, it was much busier. Since there were people coming to eat at around ten, those who got up late combined breakfast and lunch.

Except for Qin Wan'er, who left early, everyone else was busy in the store. The store in Hongnan District was forced to close, and Qiangzi and Xiaofei also came to this store.

Qin Wan'er was originally on rest, but because so many people from the East District's Jin Biao were arrested yesterday, she was not at ease and went to the station early.

However, when she arrived, it was already too late. Xiao Wu told her that some of the people were bailed out last night, and it was done with the approval of Chief Liu, so they did not dare to ask more.

Hearing this, Qin Wan'er was about to lose her temper: "Liu Guangming actually released all the people?!"

Xiao Wu was startled by Qin Wan'er's reaction and quickly made a gesture to hush her: "Sister Qin, can you be a bit quieter? You're really my sister. Chief Liu came early this morning and is upstairs. Aren't you afraid he'll hear?"

"So what if he hears! I still need to ask him clearly!" Qin Wan'er could tolerate it at the Tuo Shan District police station yesterday, but she could not tolerate it in her own jurisdiction. After saying this, she turned and went upstairs to find Liu Guangming.

Xiao Wu was stunned. Sister Qin's temper was really too big, actually going to argue with Chief Liu...

Qin Wan'er pushed open Liu Guangming's office door without knocking.

Liu Guangming was on the phone. Seeing Qin Wan'er with an angry face, he was taken aback and said into the phone, "I have something, we'll talk later, that's it."

As soon as Liu Guangming hung up, Qin Wan'er directly asked, "Chief Liu, why did you release all the people we arrested yesterday!?"

"Xiao Qin, I was just about to talk to you about this." Liu Guangming's face was clearly awkward. After all, he was the head of the police station, and Qin Wan'er speaking to him like this was disrespectful.

Qin Wan'er's tone did not soften at all: "I just want to know why you released them. Is inciting trouble not a crime? The people we arrested yesterday were released the same day. How much influence do they have to make you do this?"

Liu Guangming also put on a stern face: "Qin Wan'er, I am the chief of this police station, and I have the right to do anything! It's not your turn to point fingers."

"So what if you're the chief? Does being the chief mean you can act corruptly?" Qin Wan'er's words were a bit harsh.

Slap!

Liu Guangming slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Qin Wan'er, do you think you can act recklessly just because you've made a few achievements? I'm not afraid to tell you, the people yesterday were mentioned by Chief Qi of Tuo Shan District. They were just minor incidents, and I just did a favor. I didn't ask Xiao Wu and the others, and these people didn't cause any impact on the store at all! We had no evidence to arrest them! On the contrary, the employees of the store hit them, and they didn't file a complaint, which was already a step back."

"Is this what society is like now?" Qin Wan'er sneered. "As long as you have connections, you can turn the tables?"

Liu Guangming snorted: "Qin Wan'er, I haven't even asked you why you went to the Tuo Shan District police station yesterday. And how did you get an informant? Do you think you're in a Hong Kong crime movie? This is China! Do you know that the informant you want to expose attacked a police officer? I've already smoothed things over for you, what more do you want?!"

Qin Wan'er was not convinced: "My informant is under my direct command, and the fewer people who know, the better. Besides, do you believe them just because they say my informant hit them? Where's the evidence?"

Liu Guangming took out his phone, found a MMS, and threw it on the table: "This is the evidence!"

Qin Wan'er glanced at it and was almost shocked speechless. The photos showed the same people from yesterday, and each of them had a fist-sized bruise on their abdomen, but there were none yesterday... How did Xu Yun manage to do this?

"Got nothing to say now?" Seeing Qin Wan'er's emotions stabilize a bit, Liu Guangming said, "Xiao Qin, you're still young. You need to learn to be more tactful in everything you do. If you give others face, they will give you face in the future."

Qin Wan'er understood Liu Guangming's meaning: "Chief Liu, I understand. You mean that everyone is turning a blind eye to Qi Yishan's collusion with the mafia in Tuo Shan District?"

Liu Guangming neither denied nor confirmed it: "Xiao Qin, I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of neighboring districts. You should focus more on the matters of our Wenhui District. Have you heard about the recent rumors of a new ** boss?"

Qin Wan'er knew who the ** boss was that Liu Guangming was referring to: "If I find out who is spreading rumors, I won't let them off. But now I need to go to the city bureau and talk to Chief Chen. Qi Yishan is a villain and does not deserve to be the chief of Tuo Shan District!"

"You... are going to report to Chief Chen?" Liu Guangming really doubted his ears.

Qin Wan'er turned and left Liu Guangming's office without looking back. Liu Guangming was stunned for a moment but did not stop her. In fact, this was not a bad thing for him.

After all, during the election, Qi Yishan was also his rival for a position in the city bureau. If Qi Yishan was labeled as colluding with the mafia, the contrast with his own reputation for fighting crime would be even greater, and it would be clear who would become the deputy chief.

...

Qin Wan'er had gained a bit of fame in the Hedong City Public Security Bureau due to her several achievements. Many people greeted her with smiles when they saw her, as everyone believed she would eventually be promoted to a leadership position due to her outstanding work.

Qin Wan'er responded with a smile to everyone.

"Xiao Qin, why are you here?" The head of the Legal Affairs Department smiled when he saw Qin Wan'er.

Qin Wan'er clearly could not remember everyone's names and only knew he was the head: "Hello, Chief. I'm here to report something to Chief Chen."

"Today? It's Sunday today." The head of the Legal Affairs Department was taken aback: "Chief Chen is resting today."

Qin Wan'er suddenly realized she had forgotten about the weekend in her haste. She could only wait until tomorrow: "Sorry, I forgot. Ha ha, I won't disturb your work. I'll leave now."

"Want to stay a bit?" The head of the Legal Affairs Department said politely.

"Thank you, no need. Goodbye." Qin Wan'er turned and quickly left.

As soon as she stepped out of the office building, a police car pulled up in front of her. The car door opened, and Chen Wei got out, looking at Qin Wan'er with a slight surprise: "Xiao Qin? Why are you here?"

Qin Wan'er was delighted. What a coincidence!

But before Qin Wan'er could speak, Chen Wei said, "I have something to tell you. Come to my office, I'll show you something."

"Tell me?" Qin Wan'er was puzzled. What could Chief Chen want from her? Could a chief need to report to her? Uh, Qin Wan'er realized she was thinking too highly of herself.

Chen Wei was indeed a low-key person. Although Hedong City was not large, it was still a prefecture-level city. As the chief of the public security bureau, his rank was not low, but he drove an old Passat. Compared to other chiefs who had luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, Chen Wei was a fair, clean, and law-abiding leader.

"Thinking about what? Let's go." Chen Wei called out to Qin Wan'er, who was lost in thought.

Qin Wan'er quickly nodded and followed, thinking that if all the chiefs in the country were like Chief Chen, the social security of the entire country would improve significantly.

Soon, Qin Wan'er and Chen Wei arrived at the office. Chen Wei made a phone call, and less than a minute later, a fax came through. It was a photo with a few lines of small text below.

Chen Wei took the fax and handed it to Qin Wan'er.

The photo showed a man in his thirties, with a rather ugly appearance but a sharp and ruthless gaze.

Below the photo were clear words:

Hao Kai, male, 30 years old, Han nationality, unknown household registration address, 1.75 meters tall, medium build, square face, beard, high cheekbones, wide nose, sunken eye sockets, thick and protruding lips, dark red hair. Nationally wanted S-level criminal. The public security organs will reward citizens who provide accurate clues with 500,000 RMB. Citizens who discover clues are asked to call 110 or report to the local public security organs. Those who know but do not report, or who shelter or hide the criminal, will be held criminally responsible!

Qin Wan'er was stunned after reading it. Was this the S-level wanted criminal who might have entered Hedong City recently?!

"Based on the current information, we can confirm that this person has already infiltrated our Hedong City." Chen Wei said calmly. "Xiao Qin, the higher-ups have already ordered the posting of wanted notices. This person is the mastermind behind the 8.12 prison break last year."
