Chapter 42

Li Gang stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing secrets that his mother had given him.

Li Gang's behavior was like adding fuel to the fire for Xu Guozheng. At that moment, he completely lost his composure and angrily shouted at Li Gang, "Li Gang! What are you? You dare to educate me? Don't forget, if it weren't for my old man, you'd still be a small-town cop. Ungrateful dog, you just wait, if I don't get you fired, I won't be Xu Guozheng!"

Hearing Xu Guozheng call him an ungrateful dog, a flame of anger instantly rose in Li Gang's heart. However, he did not lose his temper on the spot because he was very clear that Xu Guozheng was now completely unreasonable, like a mad dog biting anyone in sight. If he argued with him at this moment, he would only get himself into trouble. So, he ignored Xu Guozheng's angry curses and walked out of the club with a calm expression.

Seeing Li Gang ignore him and walk out of the club, Xu Guozheng felt extremely embarrassed. But when he turned his gaze from the entrance and saw the mocking looks of the onlookers, he immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. However, thinking of his dignity, he put on a nonchalant act and threatened Wu Potian and Lin Xiaqing, "Hick! Bitch! You just wait." Then he quickly walked towards the elevator of the club.

After sitting in the police car, Li Gang thought about what had just happened and felt more and more uneasy. At that moment, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Xu Chunming's number.

Seeing Xu Guozheng leave arrogantly, the crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter. Wu Potian smiled and asked Wang Hu, "Hu Zi! Did you get what you wanted?"

Wang Hu waved his phone in front of Wu Potian and said with a smile, "Xu Guozheng's father is the deputy director in charge of public security in our bureau. He usually acts arrogantly and likes to associate with people from society. He and my old leader have never gotten along. Our bureau's chief is due to retire in a few months, and the most likely successor, besides my old leader, is him."

Hearing Wang Hu's explanation, Wu Potian immediately understood his intentions. If there had been no previous conflict, Wu Potian would absolutely not have supported Wang Hu's actions. However, from Xu Guozheng's behavior, it was clear that Xu Chunming was not a good person. If someone like Xu Chunming became the police chief, it would be a misfortune for the people of Hancheng. At that moment, he smiled and said to Wang Hu, "Hu Zi! If you plan to use today's incident to help your old leader eliminate Xu Chunming, I suggest you don't tell your old leader about this. Instead, expose the incident online, but make sure you don't get involved."

Wang Hu, who had been working for so long, knew very well how cruel the competition in the workplace could be. When he heard Wu Potian's advice, he smiled and said, "Potian! If I didn't know this, I wouldn't be the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team."

The phone call was quickly connected. Before Li Gang could speak, a very authoritative voice came from the phone, "Li Gang! Are you calling me at this time because that brat has caused trouble again?"

Thinking of Wang Hu hiding in the shadows and the tense relationship between Deputy Director Chen and Xu Chunming, Li Gang's sense of foreboding grew stronger. He immediately reported to Xu Chunming without any concealment, "Director Xu! Tonight, Young Master Xu had a conflict with a young couple at the Diamond Club. According to our investigation, Young Master Xu knows the girl and has been pursuing her, but because the girl has a boyfriend, she doesn't seem interested in him. As a result, Young Master Xu, out of anger and embarrassment, had us bring the two of them in under the pretext of being wanted criminals."

"This damn kid. Li Gang! What are the identities of the young couple? When handling this matter, be careful. Give them a lesson, but don't leave any evidence." Xu Chunming knew very well what kind of person his son was. When he received Li Gang's call, he immediately guessed the purpose of the call. Although his son's behavior troubled him, out of paternal instinct, he gave Li Gang an order without hesitation.

Xu Chunming's order was exactly what Li Gang had expected. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Xu Guozheng cover up his mess time and time again. But this time was different. Wang Hu's appearance made Li Gang feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. He quickly explained to Xu Chunming, "Director Xu! I currently don't know the identities of the young couple, but this time I didn't follow Young Master Xu's instructions to bring them to the police station. I saw Detective Wang Hu hiding in the crowd with his phone, and I suspect this might be a plot against you."

When Xu Chunming learned that Li Gang had not followed Xu Guozheng's instructions to bring the couple to the police station, he immediately felt a surge of anger. Just as he was about to question Li Gang, the next part of Li Gang's report quickly extinguished his anger. His brows furrowed tightly as he confirmed, "Li Gang! Are you sure Wang Hu was there?"

"Director Xu! When I was about to take the two young people to the police station, I unexpectedly saw Wang Hu hiding in the crowd. I suspect Wang Hu knows the two young people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so confident when they saw us. This is likely a plot against you." Li Gang was very aware of the conflict between Deputy Director Chen and Xu Chunming. He didn't want to become a casualty in their struggle. To avoid his fears becoming reality, he openly shared his suspicions.

Hearing Li Gang's analysis, Xu Chunming's face instantly turned dark. His first thought was that Chen Shengping was planning to use his son's weakness to strike against him, thereby preventing him from competing for the position of chief.

"Xiao Li! Your call was very timely. I have a task for you. Immediately investigate the identities of these two people, especially their relationship with Wang Hu. Report back to me as soon as you have results."

After ending the call with Li Gang, Xu Chunming angrily slapped the armrest of the sofa and quickly dialed Xu Guozheng's number.

Xu Guozheng had never experienced such humiliation in his life. Just thinking of Lin Xiaqing leaning affectionately on Wu Potian's chest made him furious. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Chang Mao! It's me! Where are you? I was bullied today. Get a few brothers to the Diamond Club right away."
