Ma Guoliang was about to leave when suddenly a figure appeared in his line of sight. The person was wearing sunglasses and a purple dress.

"Secretary Ma." A clear voice rang out. Ma Guoliang looked up at the person, slightly hesitant. He seemed not to recognize the person, but it also seemed like he had seen him somewhere before.

The other person slowly took off their glasses, and Ma Guoliang frowned slightly: "You are...?"

"Secretary Ma, you really have a bad memory. I'm Xiao Pan, Li Jianmin's wife. We met at a banquet once, and you even shook my hand then." Pan Liting greeted him familiarly, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Ma Guoliang. She knew that the man in front of her was the most powerful person in Gaoshan County, and also the local tyrant. As long as he was willing to help, Brother Min would definitely be saved.

"Oh, you're Li Jianmin's wife?" Ma Guoliang was suddenly startled. Wasn't Li Jianmin arrested? What was his wife doing here?

"Excuse me, I have something to do, I'll have to go now." After saying that, Ma Guoliang walked towards his car, where the driver was already waiting. Tonight, he had to meet someone.

"Secretary Ma, wait for me!" Pan Liting immediately caught up and reached out to stop Ma Guoliang. The latter frowned slightly and looked at her with some displeasure: "What are you doing?"

"Secretary Ma, you must know that Li Jianmin has been arrested, right? Jianmin is a good policeman, you must find a way to save him, please, you must find a way to save him! I will do anything as long as you are willing to save him."

Ma Guoliang frowned and glanced at Pan Liting. Now that the audit team had arrived, he was still in a mess himself, while this woman was simply clueless.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know Li Jianmin was arrested. I remember he was the head of the criminal investigation team, right?"

"Yes, yes, he's the captain, he manages dozens of people."

"Then you should go find Liu Yixiong or Lin Ying; they work for the Public Security Bureau." After saying that, Ma Guoliang walked past Pan Liting and turned to leave.

Pan Liting panicked, stretched out her arms to stop Ma Guoliang, and knelt down with a thud: "Secretary Ma, I beg you, you must save Jianmin! He's a good policeman, he really is a good policeman!"

Is Li Jianmin a good cop? Ma Guoliang sneered inwardly. If a cop like Li Jianmin is considered a good cop, then the standard for a good cop is really as low as it can get.

Seeing Pan Liting kneeling in front of him, Ma Guoliang felt somewhat embarrassed: "Get up, get up quickly, it's not good if someone sees you, get up!" Ma Guoliang had a headache; he had to resolve the audit team and the USB drive issue as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to deal with Li Jianmin's mess.

"Go find Director Liu Yixiong and tell him what I said, ask him to help deal with Li Jianmin's matter."

"Secretary Ma, Liu Yixiong is a monster! He deliberately made me spread rumors about Director Lin Ying, and he even... he did that to me! He's been doing that to me for years! He... he... he's a monster! He's taken advantage of me, and now he wants to deny everything and is trying to ruin my Jianmin's life! You must help me!" Pan Liting cried, tears streaming down her face.

Upon hearing this, Ma Guoliang's heart skipped a beat. In the distance, several people began to point and whisper curiously in their direction. Ma Guoliang was secretly alarmed and quickly pulled him up: "I'll call Director Liu Yixiong right away. Don't worry, he will definitely stand up for you. There might be some misunderstanding between you. I'll have him handle this matter for you."

"Secretary Ma, please stop! Liu Yixiong is a beast who only knows how to mess around with women. He doesn't care about the lives of us ordinary people. You must stand up for us!" After saying that, Pan Liting actually started kowtowing loudly.

Ma Guoliang's face grew increasingly grim. He quickly gave a signal to the driver in the car, who immediately got out and grabbed Pan Liting. Pan Liting was startled and struggled desperately, crying as she struggled, "What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? I don't want to go! I don't want to go! I don't want to go! What are you doing?"

Clearly, Pan Liting knew what the other party wanted to do.

"Didn't you want me to stand up for you? It's not convenient to talk outside, let's talk in the car." Ma Guoliang angrily pulled open the car door and slammed it shut with a bang.

Upon seeing this, Pan Liting quickly darted to the other side and jumped into the car. The driver also quickly got into the driver's seat, and the car slowly drove out of the residential area.

Ma Guoliang's face was so gloomy it could drip water. What did this woman mean? Did she come here specifically to ambush him?

Before he could even speak, Pan Liting suddenly took a piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to him: "Secretary Ma, please take a look at this first."

Ma Guoliang tilted his head slightly, took it casually, turned on the car's interior light, and took a look.

He was stunned, as if struck by lightning, when his head suddenly went blank.

Ma Guoliang's face was extremely ugly, and his heart was pounding wildly. He turned his head to look at Pan Liting, his eyes revealing a terrifying cold light.

Pan Liting shrank back in fright, quickly shifting her body to the side and looking fearfully at Ma Guoliang. The latter turned his head slightly, his anger slowly subsiding. He hadn't expected anyone to threaten him with that matter!

So many years have passed, I never expected that Li Jianmin would have this evidence.

"Who gave you this?" Ma Guoliang turned it over and could tell that it was a copy; the original was definitely still in the other party's hands.

"This is...this is..." Pan Liting hesitated for a long time, not daring to tell the truth. She knew very well that as long as she told the truth, the other party would definitely hold a grudge against her and Li Jianmin. If the other party tried to trip her up, she would be helpless.

"If you really want me to help you, tell me honestly, who gave you this?" Ma Guoliang stared into Pan Liting's eyes. The latter's expression changed, and after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and slowly said, "Yes, it was my husband, Li Jianmin, who gave it to me."

Upon hearing this, Ma Guoliang's face turned even uglier. He should have guessed it long ago. An investigation had been launched back then, but he never expected that the evidence would fall into Li Jianmin's hands. He never expected that Li Jianmin would keep this evidence to blackmail him.

A sinister glint flashed in Ma Guoliang's eyes. Everyone who knew about that incident back then was dead. He never expected that Li Jianmin, that unlucky bastard, would dare to threaten him with this.

He can't turn against us right now, since he hasn't received the original document yet.

Thinking of this, Ma Guoliang glanced at the other person, his expression returning to calm: "Where is the original of this thing?"

"He's with my husband. He said he'll give you the things if you can find a way to get him out of here."

Ma Guoliang remained silent. Would Li Jianmin hand over the items? Perhaps, because he was Ma Guoliang, and no one in Gaoshan County dared to threaten him with such things. Or perhaps not, because Li Jianmin knew very well that handing over the items could lead to his downfall as the top official of Gaoshan County. Therefore, he had to find a way to extract the items.
