Chapter 58

Just as Wang Hu was calling Lin Xiaoqing, Wu Potian was brought to the Public Security Bureau. As he stepped out of the police car and saw Xu Guozheng standing in front of the building, he recalled the events of the day, which made him extremely angry. He never imagined that Xu Guozheng would resort to such despicable means to take revenge on him. At that moment, he wished he could go up and give Xu Guozheng a severe beating.

"Wu Potian! Weren't you so tough yesterday? How come you've become a prisoner in such a short time?" Seeing Wu Potian step out of the police car, Xu Guozheng's face showed a look of disdain. After mocking Wu Potian, he threatened him, "Wu Potian! I'll give you a chance. If you're willing to kneel down now and deliver Lin Xiaoqing to my bed for a few months, I might consider letting you off."

Faced with Xu Guozheng's threats, Wu Potian was not afraid. He believed that as long as Wang Hu exposed the content of the video, it would be enough to make Xu Guozheng and his father become the next Li Gang and his son. At that moment, he replied disdainfully, "Xu Guozheng! Do you really think that by framing me with a false charge, you can make me beg for mercy? I tell you, if you want to play, go home and find your mother."

Although Xu Guozheng had often acted arrogantly in the past, his father always cleaned up after him. He never imagined that his father would personally step in to help him teach Wu Potian a lesson. This made him feel excited and emboldened him to take advantage of the situation to get Lin Xiaoqing into bed.

However, just as he thought Wu Potian would definitely kneel and beg for mercy, Wu Potian's response made Xu Guozheng extremely angry. He clenched his fists but, considering that they were at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, he eventually held back. He then said angrily to Wu Potian, "Fine! Very fine! I'll tell you, the patient who came to your clinic today was rushed to the hospital on the way to the police station due to a sudden illness. If that patient dies, you'll be spending the rest of your life in prison!"

Wu Potian's face changed when he heard Xu Guozheng's words. He never imagined that Xu Guozheng would go to such lengths to take revenge on him. He shouted angrily, "Xu Guozheng! I think you're a waste of air when alive, a waste of land when dead, and a waste of money when half-dead! Do you really think you can frame me like this? I guarantee you'll regret what you've done today for the rest of your life."

"Regret! There's no such word in my dictionary. But even if you want to regret it now, it's too late. Not only will I make you spend the rest of your life in prison, but I'll also ruin Lin Xiaoqing. Before you go to prison, I'll make you suffer so much that you'll wish you were dead. Just wait and see!" Xu Guozheng then instructed the police officer in charge, "Old Wang! Take this bastard to the interrogation room. Today, I'll treat him well and show him that some people can't be messed with."

As Xu Guozheng and the police officer surnamed Wang escorted Wu Potian into the Public Security Bureau building, they didn't notice that the auxiliary police officer who had prepared to handcuff Wu Potian but then abandoned the idea due to Wu Potian's words had been awakened by Wu Potian's words. He realized that if today's incident wasn't handled properly, he might become a scapegoat. To avoid this, he used his mobile phone to clearly record the scene while Xu Guozheng was threatening Wu Potian.

Entering the interrogation room, Wu Potian was very clear about what awaited him. Since he had never experienced such a situation before, he was inevitably a bit nervous. But thinking about Xu Guozheng's lawless behavior and the evidence Wang Hu had, his heart gradually calmed down. He looked at the furious Xu Guozheng with a mocking expression and deliberately provoked him, "Xu Guozheng! Use whatever tricks you have today. If I say I'm afraid, I won't be a Wu!"

In Xu Guozheng's eyes, Wu Potian was already meat on the chopping block, and he could do whatever he wanted. However, Wu Potian's reaction was very unexpected. When he thought about Wu Potian's relationship with Wang Hu, he believed that Wu Potian had some leverage. He immediately threatened Wu Potian, "Wu Potian! Do you really think Wang Hu can save you? Although he's the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, he's nothing to me. I said yesterday that it would only take a moment to deal with you, and today I'll make you taste the consequences."

Xu Guozheng then casually took a thick phone book from a nearby cabinet and asked Wu Potian with a fake smile, "Wu Potian! Have you seen the act where someone breaks a stone on their chest? They place the stone on their chest and then smash it with a hammer. Since there are no stones here in the Public Security Bureau, we'll use this phone book instead. It's convenient and leaves no marks. Today, I'll let you taste it."

"Old Wang! Call a few people to help me hold this bastard down. Today, I'll make him wish he were dead." Xu Guozheng then instructed the police officer in charge to find people to deal with Wu Potian.

The police officer in charge, upon hearing Xu Guozheng's instructions, clearly showed a look of difficulty. When he received the task, Xu Chunming had explicitly told him to make the case airtight but not to touch Wu Potian.

When he first received the task, he was very confused. In his memory, Xu Chunming had never given him such a task, except for occasionally helping Xu Guozheng clean up his mess. It wasn't until Xu Guozheng mentioned Wang Hu that he finally understood Xu Chunming's intentions.

Realizing that he had inadvertently become involved in a higher-level conflict, he deeply regretted it. However, there was no regret pill in this world, and he was a cadre promoted by Xu Chunming. It was not an exaggeration to say they were on the same boat. Even though he regretted it, he could only grit his teeth and leave the interrogation room to call for help.

Just as Wu Potian was being held down by several auxiliary police officers, preparing to be interrogated, Wang Hu arrived at the Public Security Bureau. As he pushed open the car door and stepped out, he immediately saw Xu Guozheng's car. At that moment, he clearly realized why Xu Guozheng was there. Worried about Wu Potian's safety, he didn't even lock his car and rushed into the Public Security Bureau building.

Wang Hu ran quickly to the floor where the interrogation room was located. Even before he reached the corridor, he could hear Xu Guozheng's familiar voice. At that moment, he wished he could grow wings and immediately sped up. Just as he reached the corridor, he saw an auxiliary police officer hurriedly hide a mobile phone in his pocket and run towards the office at the end of the corridor.
