Chapter 60

Wang Defa never thought that Xu Guozheng would be so foolish as to confess to framing Wu Potian without being forced. His face changed, and he instinctively tried to stop Xu Guozheng from continuing. At that moment, Wang Hu took out a voice recorder from his pocket, waved it in front of Wang Defa, and looked at him with disdain, mocking him: "Wang Defa! What do you plan to say now? Don't think I'm bluffing. My brother does have a medical practice certificate, and I've already asked a friend to get it. On the contrary, you, Wang Defa, have caused so much trouble today by framing my brother. If I don't strip you of your position, I'll be your grandson."

Seeing the voice recorder in Wang Hu's hand, Wang Defa's face instantly turned very pale. He never expected that Wang Hu would use a voice recorder to secretly record their conversation.

As the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, Wang Defa was very clear that if the content of the voice recorder was exposed, it would mean that today's incident would become a major scandal. Given his understanding of Xu Chunming, Xu Chunming would definitely make him the scapegoat to take the blame.

If Wang Hu were just an ordinary police officer, Wang Defa would at most receive a reprimand, which would naturally be forgotten once Xu Chunming became the head. However, behind Wang Hu stood Chen Shengping. Once Wang Hu took action, Wang Defa might lose his job because of today's incident. Thinking about all the things he had done over the years, Wang Defa knew very well what kind of outcome he would face if he lost his job.

In the face of his job and power, Wang Defa completely ignored his dignity and quickly stepped in front of Wang Hu, fawning and flattering him: "Captain Wang! This is all a misunderstanding. We didn't know your brother had a medical practice certificate. I will personally escort your brother back and compensate him for his losses."

Regardless of whether Wang Defa was Xu Chunming's henchman, many of Xu Chunming's affairs were handled by Wang Defa. If Wang Defa were the breakthrough, it would be easier to take down Xu Chunming. Given what Wang Defa and his team did to Wu Potian today, Wang Hu had no intention of letting Wang Defa off the hook. When Wang Defa begged for mercy, Wang Hu replied without mercy: "If you had known this earlier, it would have been different. It's too late now."

"This is Wu Potian's medical practice certificate. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will sue your police station." Just as Wang Hu finished speaking, Lin Xiaqing's voice came from the corridor.

Lin Xiaqing, looking furious, walked into the interrogation room, slammed the medical practice certificate on the desk, and quickly walked to Wu Potian's side, asking him with concern: "Potian! How are you? Did they hit you?"

Wu Potian saw the medical practice certificate on the desk and first showed a puzzled expression. However, when he heard Lin Xiaqing's words, he finally understood the source of the certificate and smiled, answering Lin Xiaqing: "Xiaqing! Fortunately, Hu Zi arrived in time, or I would have had the chance to experience the feeling of having a stone break my chest."

When Lin Xiaqing heard Wu Potian mention the phrase "having a stone break my chest," she immediately thought of a common scene in TV dramas. Her face changed, and she looked angry, staring at Xu Guozheng and Wang Defa, and angrily asked: "Who tortured my boyfriend?"

Hearing Lin Xiaqing's words, Wang Hu smiled and waved the voice recorder in front of her, saying: "Xiaqing! This is a typical case of framing, and the Public Security Bureau people assisted in the wrongdoing. I recorded the entire process with this voice recorder."

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Lin Xiaqing said seriously to Wang Hu: "Hu Zi! Give me your voice recorder. I will personally deliver it to the Discipline Inspection Commission. I want to see who gave them the authority to act so recklessly."

If it were a normal day, Xu Guozheng would have realized that the voice recorder in Wang Hu's hand would cause a lot of trouble for his father. However, because of Lin Xiaqing's appearance, he lost his normal thinking ability and became completely consumed by jealousy. When he heard Lin Xiaqing say she would deliver the voice recorder to the Discipline Inspection Commission, his face immediately showed a look of arrogance, and he threatened Lin Xiaqing: "Bitch! You're asking for it. If you dare to deliver it, I guarantee you'll regret it."

"Slap!" Before Xu Guozheng could finish his threat, a clear slap stopped him.

If there was anyone who was Lin Xiaqing's sore spot, it was Wu Potian, besides her parents. Xu Guozheng's attempt to frame Wu Potian to get revenge was undoubtedly touching her sore spot. At that moment, Lin Xiaqing no longer cared about her usual ladylike image and angrily slapped Xu Guozheng, shouting: "Xu Guozheng! Your father is just a deputy director of the police station, not the director, and certainly not the mayor. Although Han Cheng is a small city, there are many people who are not to be offended by a deputy director. Let's see who will regret this."

Xu Guozheng touched his cheek, looking incredulous. He never thought that Lin Xiaqing would actually hit him. This made him very angry, feeling as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured into a boiling sea, making him feel like he was about to explode. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Xiaqing, shouting: "Bitch—"

"Slap!" Before Xu Guozheng could finish saying "bitch," another slap landed on the other side of his face. He pointed at Wu Potian and shouted: "Bastard! You actually dared to hit me, I'll kill—"

"Slap!" Another clear slap. Wang Hu, seeing Xu Guozheng about to attack Wu Potian, clenched his fist and threatened Xu Guozheng: "Xu Guozheng! Are you asking for a beating?"

Perhaps because of Wang Hu's usual style in the police station, when Xu Guozheng saw Wang Hu's eager expression, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine and nervously replied: "A gentleman uses words, not fists. I am a civilized person and won't stoop to your level."

In Lin Xiaqing's eyes, Xu Guozheng's fate was already clear. When she heard his words, she ignored him and asked Wang Defa with a dark face: "This is my boyfriend's medical practice certificate. Can my boyfriend leave now?"

If it weren't for the voice recorder that Wang Hu gave to Lin Xiaqing, Wang Defa might have released Wu Potian because of the certificate. However, now it was different. If the content of the voice recorder was exposed, he would be confirmed to have used his power to help Xu Guozheng frame Wu Potian. To protect his job, he had to take a risk and said: "This certificate is well-made, but we need to verify its authenticity with the authorities in Yanjing before we can confirm it."

As he spoke, Wang Defa, taking advantage of Lin Xiaqing's distraction, suddenly rushed to her and tried to grab the voice recorder from her hand.
