Chapter 61

The two interrogating officers were so panicked because they knew all too well about Xu Qingxue's background.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Xu Qingxue, with her delicate nose, coldly snorted and turned to walk towards the temporary holding area. As the deputy director of the district public security bureau, Xu Qingxue was well aware that some of the methods used by the officers in charge of the case and interrogation were not entirely above board.

Seeing Xu Qingxue turn and walk out, Xia Gui Fang quickly got up and followed her. On one hand, she was afraid that if she stayed, the police would continue to pressure her for information, so it was safer to follow this female director. On the other hand, she was also worried about Wang Xiaoqiang, fearing he might be harmed.

"Hey, you..." The officer taking the statement saw Xia Gui Fang get up and follow Xu Qingxue out, and hurriedly called out. Even a fool could see that the current situation was very unfavorable, and they needed to get Xia Gui Fang to confess before she revealed the truth.

"Let her follow me." Before the officer could say more, Xu Qingxue coldly interrupted without turning back.

Since the deputy director had spoken, the junior officers dared not say no, and could only watch as Xia Gui Fang followed Xu Qingxue out. These two interrogating officers were experienced and shrewd, and they knew that if this matter wasn't handled well, the district bureau would be in trouble. Seeing Xu Qingxue leave, they quickly mustered the courage to call Director Chen's phone.

Although they didn't know if Director Chen could still salvage the situation, it was necessary to inform him, especially since this matter involved his precious son.

At that moment, Chen Tianpeng was in a room at the Jinbi Huaguo KTV in the West District, fumbling with a naked woman on a bed. Suddenly, the sound of his phone ringing startled him, causing his body to tremble and his energy to wane. He hastily rolled off the bed, nervously grabbed his phone, and checked the caller.

Chen Tianpeng was a womanizer, but he knew that indulging in women at this time was both inappropriate and dangerous. The deputy director of the municipal public security bureau, Li Youwei, was due to retire in six months, and he, as the deputy director of the district, had a chance to be promoted to replace Li Youwei.

However, as the capital city of Jiangcheng, which had four districts and six counties, he was not the only district public security director. In other words, there were others eyeing the position of deputy director of the municipal public security bureau. A rough estimate put his competitors at over ten. During this period, these deputy directors would inevitably compete and undermine each other. If he were caught indulging in women by any of them, he would lose this opportunity, and the consequences could be even more severe.

Therefore, a single phone call could make him as nervous as a spooked bird.

When he saw that the call was from an on-duty veteran officer at the police station, Chen Tianpeng's heart sank, knowing it was not good news. However, the more serious the situation, the more he dared not ignore it. He took a deep breath and answered the call.

After listening to the officer's description, Chen Tianpeng's heart plummeted into an icy abyss.

This was a critical time, and the last thing he needed was for something to go wrong, especially since it involved his son. What was even more terrifying was that Xu Qingxue was getting involved. Although Xu Qingxue was only a deputy, her position was below his, if she had evidence, he couldn't suppress the matter. Moreover, Xu Qingxue had a strong background, and even he had to give her some leeway.

The woman, still not satisfied, got up from the bed, swaying her snake-like waist and wrapping herself around Chen Tianpeng. She extended her right hand, painted with blood-red nails, to his private parts and said in a coquettish voice, "Director Chen, I still want more!"

Chen Tianpeng pushed the woman away, showing a look of weariness, and said, "Go to sleep, I have something to do, I'll leave first."

Just as the veteran officer was calling Director Chen, Xu Qingxue, with a cold face, led Xia Gui Fang to the temporary holding area.

At this moment, Chen Kai had not yet left. The reason was that he couldn't stand Wang Xiaoqiang, a country bumpkin, acting arrogantly in the police station, on his father's territory. So he walked into the holding area to warn Wang Xiaoqiang. Chen Kai always considered himself a prince in this place and treated it like his home. He kicked open the door without hesitation, walked into the room, and pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang on the bed, saying viciously:

"Kid, you're having a good time, but how long do you think it will last? Once your girlfriend confesses, you're done!"

"By the way, your girlfriend is quite a beauty. Don't worry, I'll take care of her, ha ha! Just wait for your jail time!"

"You should be the one going to jail!" A voice suddenly interrupted.

Hearing this voice, Chen Kai, who was feeling smug, felt a surge of anger. He turned around and shouted, "Who the hell is talking?"

"Rubbish!" Xu Qingxue walked in and shouted at Chen Kai, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing it was Xu Qingxue, Chen Kai immediately wilted. Although he was a spoiled brat, he still had some sense. Unlike Cui Wei and his gang, who didn't understand the female director, Chen Kai had heard some things about Xu Qingxue from his father, who often reminded him to be on his best behavior around her. So at this moment, he felt a bit guilty and stammered, "Director Xu, I, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you..."

"I heard everything you said, and I recorded it," Xu Qingxue said, waving her phone in front of Chen Kai.

Chen Kai, a small-time thug, was no match for Xu Qingxue. He immediately believed her and started trembling.

Chen Kai didn't understand why Xu Qingxue was here. He didn't think she was here for Wang Xiaoqiang. In his anxiety, he tried to shift Xu Qingxue's attention to Wang Xiaoqiang and pointed at him, saying indignantly, "Director Xu, look, is this how a criminal behaves? He's acting arrogantly here."

Xu Qingxue's gaze subconsciously fell on Wang Xiaoqiang, who was still lying on the bed. The scar-faced man, who had given the entire district bureau a headache, was obediently massaging his feet.

Seeing this, Xu Qingxue couldn't help but smile wryly. Wang Xiaoqiang was indeed impressive, having tamed even the scar-faced man!

"Wang Xiaoqiang is not a criminal. If it weren't for your false accusations, he wouldn't be here!" Xu Qingxue said.

Hearing this, Chen Kai realized that Xu Qingxue was indeed here for Wang Xiaoqiang. His fear reached its peak, and his lips trembled as he stammered, "Director Xu, I, I..."

"Alright, you can leave now. Wait for your interrogation!"

Chen Kai had no choice but to obediently walk out. When he saw Xia Gui Fang still standing outside, he understood everything and felt a sense of despair. It looked like he would be brought down by this country bumpkin tonight.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, I'm sorry for the trouble you've been through!" Xu Qingxue walked to the bed and waved at the scar-faced man, signaling him to step back.

These words made the scar-faced man and his gang almost burst with frustration. This, this is called trouble? We might as well die!

The other four criminals, also feeling frustrated, stared at Wang Xiaoqiang in shock. What kind of background did this guy have to have the deputy director come to his rescue?

"Xiaoqiang, are you okay?" At this moment, Xia Gui Fang, who had been waiting outside, walked in, looking worried.

Wang Xiaoqiang got up, put on his shoes, and walked to her, holding her hand and saying, "I'm fine, Xiaofang. Did they treat you badly?"

"They tried to force me to confess, but I didn't. Fortunately, this director..."

Xia Gui Fang pointed at Xu Qingxue.

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly at Xu Qingxue and said, "Director Xu, it's nice to see you again. How is your father?"

"Uh, my father is well," Xu Qingxue replied. "This isn't the time to talk about that. Follow me to give your statement."

Next, all the on-duty officers in the district public security bureau were arranged by Xu Qingxue to participate in the investigation. Under her supervision, Chen Kai and his gang were isolated and interrogated.

Most of the ordinary police officers, dressed in uniform, still hoped to be upright and serve the people. However, as junior officers, they were concerned about potential retaliation in their future work and promotions. Now, with the deeply influential Deputy Director Xu Qingxue in charge, they had no worries and conducted the interrogations with solemn expressions, not daring to be negligent.

The motorcycle gang, already intimidated by Xu Qingxue, and now faced with the stern police officers, no longer dared to be arrogant. They all truthfully recounted the events.

Even Director Chen's son, Chen Kai, mistakenly believed that Xu Qingxue had evidence against him and did not argue, directly admitting his wrongdoing.

When the statements were almost complete, the district public security bureau director, Chen Tianpeng, rushed to the scene.
