Upon hearing the report, Liu Yixiong was startled and quickly headed outside. "Damn it, what is that stinking woman Lu Xiujuan planning to do?"

"Are you sure she had an autopsy report?"

"There are records on the computer of her printing the autopsy report, so she definitely printed it at the time."

"Damn it, didn't you guys say she didn't do anything? What's going on?"

"We don't know either. Lu Xiujuan is usually very quiet and doesn't say a word. Who would have known that she would secretly print out the autopsy report?"

"Find her right now and make her hand over the things, quick!" Liu Yixiong felt that if this matter couldn't be resolved, Ma Guoliang would definitely not let him off the hook.

He strode back to his office, closed the door, and paced back and forth. Lu Xiujuan was practically courting death. What was she trying to do? Now, Gao Lan's body had been cremated, and everything was gone. So, no one could possibly discover that she had been assaulted before her death. However, if the autopsy report appeared in court, not only him, but even Ma Guoliang would be in deep trouble.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly picked up the phone again to dial: "Find Lu Xiujuan, make her hand over the things, and then, find a place and make her...disappear as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone trembled, almost dropping the phone, and said in a trembling voice, "It's...it's Director Liu."

"Hurry up and get this done cleanly. I'll get you promoted to section chief next year."

"Really? Great, great, great! Don't worry, Director Liu, I'll get it done right away." The person on the other end of the phone was extremely excited. A thirty-year-old section chief—he could laugh in his sleep.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yixiong let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as Lu Xiujuan was dead and the items were destroyed, no one would ever know about that matter again.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door, knock...knock knock...

"Come in."

Li Jianmin, the head of the criminal investigation detachment, walked in: "Director Liu, Sun Ping has been caught."

Liu Yixiong's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Very good, where are they?"

"He's being held at the station. He was arrested last night. I didn't dare tell you because I didn't want to disturb your rest."

Liu Yixiong nodded, glanced at Li Jianmin thoughtfully, then turned and ordered, "Interrogate him immediately. Make sure to get him to talk and obtain solid evidence."

Li Jianmin's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." After saying that, Li Jianmin turned and walked out of Liu Yixiong's office.

Just then, the phone on Liu Yixiong's desk suddenly rang. Liu Yixiong picked up the receiver, his expression changed slightly, and a strong voice came from the phone: "Deputy Director Liu, this is Lin Ying."

"Lin Ying? You…" Liu Yixiong suddenly woke up. Lin Ying, the newly appointed police chief. He instinctively stood up: "Good morning, Chief Lin!"

"Director Liu, I have some business to take care of outside, so I won't be coming back to the bureau today. Have someone compile a list of the bureau's staff, label them with their specific positions, and send the list to my work email." With a snap, the phone was hung up. Liu Yixiong stared blankly at his phone, speechless for a long time.

What does that mean? You're giving orders before the person even arrives?

Liu Yixiong spat inwardly. A woman, trying to become his boss? Dream on! Just wait, he'll teach her a lesson sooner or later.

Just as Liu Yixiong was lost in thought, his phone rang again abruptly. Somewhat annoyed, Liu answered, "Hello, what's up?"

"Chief, Lu Xiujuan has run away."

"What?" Liu Yixiong's body jolted violently, his heart leaping in his throat. He quickly ordered, "Notify the traffic management department immediately and have them set up roadblocks. I refuse to believe she can fly away. Where are her family? Find them right now and see where she can run next."

"Her mother is in the hospital, and we are on our way there."

"Take control of her mother, call Lu Xiujuan, and if she doesn't obey, send both mother and daughter on their way."

The person on the other end of the phone was startled, quickly nodded, and hung up.

Liu Yixiong let out a long sigh. This Li Jianmin was really something else; he couldn't do anything right, yet he wanted to improve himself. How could he help him?!

Thinking of this, Liu Yixiong felt quite dissatisfied. However, things had already come to this point, and he could only try his best. If Lu Xiujuan really got away, it would be troublesome.

At the train station, a woman dressed as a beggar was walking toward the ticket gate when suddenly, several plainclothes officers rushed toward her from a short distance away. Startled, the woman had no choice but to quickly rush into the crowd behind her, where she was instantly swallowed up by the flow of people.

"There she is, there she is, I see her, I see her, quick, there she is!" a plainclothes officer shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Lu Xiujuan, I advise you not to resist stubbornly. You are also a police officer, you should know our policy: confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be punished severely."

Hearing this from the corner, Lu Xiujuan almost jumped out and cursed. These heartless bastards were twisting the truth, fabricating evidence, and trying to get the autopsy report from her? Dream on! However, that autopsy report was related to the death of the former county magistrate, Gao Lan. Probably no one would have imagined that a county magistrate, before his death, would be violated, and by more than one person. She had to preserve the evidence, no matter what. Gao Lan was a good magistrate who had done several good things for the people and was also a good leader to her cousin. She had to help her, no matter what.

Thinking of this, she quickly slipped into the crowd that had just emerged and headed out. She couldn't get on the train, so she could only go home; the most dangerous place was also the safest.

Lu Xiujuan kept a close eye on her surroundings as she headed towards the exit. Soon, she followed the flow of people to the exit and quickly followed a few people out of the train station. Seeing that no one was following, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No, she had to notify her mother as soon as possible; she wondered if those people would harm her family.

It seems that Liu Yixiong might be the one who attacked me; otherwise, so many plainclothes officers wouldn't have come. There's definitely something fishy about the death of County Magistrate Gao Lan.

As soon as she stepped out of the train station, Lu Xiujuan's phone rang urgently: "Feed."

"Hey, Lu Xiujuan, your mother is in our hands."

"Ah, you guys..." Lu Xiujuan's head buzzed, her body trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. She was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.

"Don't touch my mother, come at me if you dare."

"Fine, you're coming after me. Hand over what you have, and we can pretend nothing happened. You should know our power; even if you run to the ends of the earth, it won't help. We're in the hospital now. You should know the room number. You have one hour to get to the hospital. Remember, bring that report. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Wait, let's release my mom right now, otherwise, I'll send this report to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately. If I don't see my mom in an hour, I'll send the report via email." Lu Xiujuan was not to be outdone. She knew that showing weakness was useless in front of this group of people.

"You..." The other person laughed in anger, a surge of rage welling up inside them.
