"Chief, what happened?"

"Get out of here!"

Lin Qiang rushed forward, but Qin Yue impatiently pushed him away.

At this moment, Qin Yue was in a state of utter confusion and panic.

Just now, he received news that his men had captured Xu Chu.

At that moment, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Who is Xu Chu?

The newly appointed mayor.

Everyone knows that Xu Chu came with the imperial sword, and at this critical juncture, who would dare to offend him?

But unfortunately...

The more Qin Yue thought about it, the more frightened she became. In the end, she scrambled to her feet and crawled to Chen Dashan and the others.

"Secretary Chen..."

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

Chen Dashan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with raging anger.

Xu Chu has been arrested!

If this gets out, he, as the municipal party secretary, will lose all face.

Behind him, Xiang Yuanwu, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, looked even more unpleasant.

He is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Rongzhou City, and in terms of responsibility for Xu Chu's arrest, he is the first to bear the blame.

Therefore, upon seeing Qin Yue, he went up and kicked her without saying a word.

"You idiot, did a donkey kick your brain?"

Qin Yue was in pain, but dared not utter a word of complaint. In her heart, she cursed Lin Qiang, the culprit, to the core.

Feeling unsatisfied after hurling insults, he then proceeded to verbally abuse every woman connected to him.

soon--

They rushed to the detention room, where Xu Chu and Wang Feng came into view.

Not far away—

Visible to the naked eye—

Lin Can grinned maliciously, raised the beer bottle high, and was about to smash it at Xu Chu.

This scene made their eyes widen in horror, and their hearts leaped into their throats.

Xiang Yuanwu was instantly enraged and rushed forward almost at lightning speed.

"You bastard!"

"You reckless fool, do you want to die?"

Xiang Yuanwu kicked Lin Can to the ground, staring at him with murderous intent.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if he drank that bottle, but he was certain that he would lose his job as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Lin Can was stunned by the kick.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Yue trembling as she crawled to Xu Chu's side, tears streaming down her face.

"Mayor Xu, I'm sorry, I..."

As he spoke, he took out his key to unlock the handcuffs, but because his hands were shaking too much, he couldn't insert the key several times.

Lin Can was completely dumbfounded when he heard Qin Yue address Xu Chu. He looked at Xu Chu with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

mayor?

He's the mayor?

In an instant, Lin Can felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold sensation shot straight to the top of his head.

He yelled and scrambled to Xu Chu's feet, kowtowing repeatedly while saying things like, "I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please forgive me."

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

At this moment, Xiang Yuanwu rushed up and snatched the key from Qin Yue's hand to unlock Xu Chu's handcuffs.

Click!

The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. At that moment, everyone felt a sense of relief and relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

Only Xiang Yuanwu's face remained pale. Holding the unlocked handcuffs, he felt an illusory weight as if they were made of a thousand pounds, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

He looked at Xu Chu's wrist and saw the two shallow marks left by the straps. They were so glaring that he could hardly open his eyes.

"Mayor Xu, you've suffered so much. I apologize; it's my fault for not doing my job properly..."

He stood beside Xu Chu, a man in his fifties or sixties, yet at this moment he looked like a child who had done something wrong, his head bowed, not daring to look Xu Chu in the eye.

Xu Chu seemed not to hear him, twisting his slightly sore waist, patting his slightly numb legs, and stomping his slightly tired feet.

His gaze swept calmly over everyone, and each person he looked at felt a sense of oppression.

They knew—

This is a sign that a storm is coming.

In a short time.

The detention cell was eerily quiet.

Apart from each person's breathing, no other sound could be heard.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere hung over everyone, especially Lin Can, the culprit behind the whole thing, who was now in a complete mess and was practically terrified.

He never imagined things would turn out this way.

If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to do it even if he had a hundred lives.

"Mayor Xu, I was wrong. I'm just an ordinary citizen. Please forgive me this time."

Lin Can's words broke the silence.

Xu Chu looked at him and chuckled.

Although she was smiling, she gave off a very cold feeling.

"You're not an ordinary citizen. How can an ordinary citizen just come and go as they please?"

Upon hearing Xu Chu's words, Lin Can was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain.

He was able to get in here because of Lin Qiang.

In other words, Lin Qiang was his reliance, but judging from the current situation, Lin Qiang is nothing.

"Take him away!"

Xu Chu glanced at Lin Can, casually uttered a sentence, waved to Yuan Wu, and two armed police officers stepped out from the crowd and immediately dragged Lin Can away.

"Mayor Xu, I..."

Xu Chu waved his hand to interrupt, glanced at the crowd, and after not finding Lin Qiang, spoke again.

"Isn't the police officer who just called us a criminal gang here?"

Upon hearing Xu Chu's words, everyone present changed their expressions once again.

Organized crime gangs?

At that moment, everyone who heard those words cursed in their hearts every woman connected to Lin Qiang.

Do these eyes have assholes?

Are those huge news covers and public notices meant for dogs?

"What the hell are you standing there for? Go and bring them over here!"

When Xiang Yuanwu saw that Qin Yue was still standing there motionless, he became furious.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yue immediately ran out.

Seeing Qin Yue leave, Xiang Yuanwu turned to look at Xu Chu again. Before he could speak, Xu Chu spoke again.

"Secretary Xiang, it seems that the capabilities of our basic law enforcement team in Rongzhou City need to be improved!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanwu had no words to express his bitterness, knowing that Xu Chu had already been very lenient with him.

"Mayor Xu, please don't hold back. After something like this happened, how can I possibly save face!"

He had already lost all face the moment Xu Chu was handcuffed.

A moment later.

Qin Yue returned, but Lin Qiang was nowhere to be seen.

"Mayor Xu, Secretary Xiang, that Lin Qiang... he... he..."

Qin Yue's voice trembled slightly. She frowned at Yuan Wu and coldly demanded, "What's wrong?"

"Lin Qiang is missing! He ran away!"

After Qin Yue finished speaking, she lay down on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"They ran away?"

Xiang Yuanwu frowned, and then a surge of anger rose within him.

What a bunch of useless trash!

"You, you, you...get over here!"

Xiang Yuanwu was furious.

Lin Qiang actually managed to escape right under their noses. If word got out, he'd be so embarrassed he'd be laughed out of the house.

"Lax discipline and ineffective management of subordinates!"

Xu Chu's voice rang out at the right moment, and Xiang Yuanwu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing it.

"What a disgrace!"

He spat out three words through gritted teeth, staring at the branch director and others with a cold gaze.
