Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

Faced with Luo Zhiguo's hateful and cold gaze, Qin Lu felt flustered, after all, it was the first time she had done something so torturous.

Especially when it comes to making a move on to an ex-boyfriend with whom she had been in a relationship for several years, she inevitably felt pressured.

She kept encouraging herself and persevering just to get ahead.

"Luo Zhiguo! So, are you going to cooperate and confess honestly, or continue to be stubborn?"

Not daring to meet Luo Zhiguo's gaze, Qin Lu steadied herself and used a cold laugh to cover up her inner panic, asking in a chilling voice.

"The net of heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it! Qin Lu, you will pay the price for what you have done..."

Luo Zhiguo gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on Qin Lu with cold hatred, and he managed to utter a hoarse sound from his throat.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lu's initial panic was immediately replaced by anger and resentment.

Staring at Luo Zhiguo with a ferocious expression, he sneered and said, "So that's how it is! Then let's see how long you can hold out..."

As he spoke, he took a few more pieces of paper and stuck them on Luo Zhiguo's face, then dripped a few drops of water onto them to wet them.

Luo Zhiguo felt suffocated again and struggled, but he was restrained by the specially made chair, handcuffs and shackles, and no matter how much he struggled, it was useless.

"Bang!"

Just then, the interrogation room door was violently kicked open, and Chu Hao, two staff members, and Zeng Hui walked in.

Seeing this, Chu Hao nearly fainted. He roared angrily at Qin Lu and the man, who were still in shock, "What are you doing?!"

Then he quickly walked over and hurriedly removed the paper that was stuck to Luo Zhiguo's face.

"Let him go!"

Looking at Luo Zhiguo, who was sitting in a specially made chair and restrained by handcuffs and shackles, he shouted to the staff around him.

The two men who came with him turned pale and hurriedly unlocked Luo Zhiguo's handcuffs and shackles, helping him up from the specially made chair.

"The secretary...!"

The man next to Qin Lu spoke first, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Chu Hao. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered out a name before becoming too flustered to speak.

"Who gave you permission to do this?"

Zeng Hui was also extremely panicked at this moment, but he was a veteran of the Discipline Inspection Commission and reacted quickly.

He stared coldly at Qin Lu and the man, angrily questioning them, trying to distance himself from the matter.

Qin Lu and the man immediately turned ashen-faced, realizing that they couldn't escape this time.

"snort!"

Chu Hao snorted coldly, looked around, and saw that there were no surveillance cameras installed in this room.

He immediately understood that this room was specifically used for performing such methods.

"Just wait for it to be dealt with!"

There's a saying that goes something like this: Don't be afraid of your boss scolding you, because if your boss scolds you, it means there's still room for things to be resolved.

The worst thing is when the boss doesn't yell at you, because if the boss doesn't yell at you, it means the situation is very serious and there's no room for easing up.

At this moment, Chu Hao was not cursing; his tone was frighteningly calm.

"Get him to the hospital quickly!"

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Zhiguo, who had already fainted, and his lips twitched involuntarily. He really didn't know how to resolve this matter.

He couldn't help but secretly hate Zhang Qiang, who knew that Luo Zhiguo and Tong Wu had a close relationship, yet still used the Discipline Inspection Commission to cause trouble.

This is clearly a setup to frame him. If the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection hadn't suddenly issued a notice today, he wouldn't have known that Luo Zhiguo had been treated like this by his subordinates.

Afterwards, when Tong Wu finds out about this, he will definitely hold me accountable, and I won't be able to explain myself no matter how hard I try.

"Alright, Zhang Qiang! This isn't over yet..."

He secretly hardened his heart, then instructed his two subordinates to take Luo Zhiguo to the hospital.

After everyone left, only Qin Lu and the man remained in the interrogation room. The two stood there, their faces as pale as paper.

"It's over! Everything is over..."

The interrogation room was eerily quiet, and the sealed windows only added to the sinister atmosphere.

Qin Lu muttered to herself, unable to hold back any longer, and collapsed onto the floor.

The more arrogant she was just moments ago, the more pathetic she is now.

"Luo Zhiguo! It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so stubborn, I wouldn't be in this situation. If I'm finished, you won't have it easy either..."

Suddenly, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. She didn't realize her mistake and instead blamed everything on Luo Zhiguo.

"No! I can't let this end, absolutely not."

Then, she swept her cold gaze over the pale-faced man and muttered to herself.

Then she got up and walked out of the interrogation room without saying a word.

She needed to find Liu Ming. To save herself, she had to pin the blame on the man, hoping that this would give her a chance to extricate herself from the situation.

The man was unaware that he was about to face a terrible disaster. Seeing Qin Lu leave, he could no longer hold back and collapsed to his seat.

Knowing he was doomed, he only hoped Zeng Hui could help him out. He was willing to be fired or anything, but he absolutely couldn't let Zeng Hui go and work on the sewing machine, or his life would be truly ruined.

"What! Luo Zhiguo was taken away by Secretary Chu?"

On the way to Bohou Town, Liu Ming received a call from Qin Lu, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Secretary Liu! This matter might be a bit complicated; you must protect them..."

Qin Lu acted coquettishly for a moment, and then explained her plan to Liu Ming.

"Secretary Liu! The only way for us to get through this safely is to drag everything onto him; otherwise, we'll have a hard time explaining to Secretary Chu..."

She paused for a moment, then continued in a sweet voice.

After hearing her words, a cold glint flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "Alright! I understand. That's all for now."

With that, he hung up the phone, his face turning incredibly grim. He hadn't expected Chu Hao to suddenly intervene in this matter, which put him in a very passive position.

"Hello! Secretary Zhao."

He dialed Zhao Dehua's number and asked, "Secretary Zhao! Luo Zhiguo is just a nobody, how could Secretary Chu have such a connection?"

"Secretary Liu! The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a notice today that starting tomorrow, working groups will be dispatched to various counties to inspect the work..."

Zhao Dehua didn't waste any words and simply explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming frowned, thinking to himself that Luo Zhiguo was really lucky, as he happened to run into the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection sending a working group to various counties to inspect the work.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, resenting that Luo Zhiguo had escaped today and disrupted his plans.

"Secretary Zhao! I'll need your help with this matter..."

After calming himself down and pondering for a moment, he recounted the plan Qin Lu had just mentioned to Zhao Dehua.

He paused, then continued, "Secretary Zhao! This is the only way to resolve this matter now, otherwise we're all doomed..."
