"Sun Yan is suspended from duty to cooperate with the investigation."

Xu Jie suppressed his anger, speaking each word carefully.

Sun Yan opened his mouth, wanting to explain, wanting to say it was a report from the public, wanting to say it was all a misunderstanding...

But all those words got stuck in my throat.

Because he simply didn't dare to look the branch bureau chief in the eye.

"Xie Yiyuan," Xu Jie turned his head, glanced at Director Xie, and said in a reprimanding tone, "You also bear supervisory responsibility for this matter. How can you be a director when something like this happens in your station?"

He paused for a moment, then softened his voice slightly: "Since the person is fine and the paperwork is not compliant, then release them immediately."

"Yes, Director Xu!" Xie Yiyuan responded immediately, not even glancing at Sun Yan, whose face was ashen, and turned to walk quickly toward the interrogation room.

He just wants to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible and distance himself from it.

Xu Jie turned his gaze to the three police officers beside him who hadn't dared to utter a sound from beginning to end.

The three people stood in a row, their shoulders hunched, their eyes darting around, unsure of what to do with their hands and feet.

"All three of you are suspended from your duties and are to cooperate with the investigation."

The three men looked at each other, their faces growing increasingly grim, but none dared to utter a sound. They knew they had also failed this time.

On the other side, Du Yunfei had already turned his head and instructed the three staff members from the Law Enforcement Supervision Section of the District Political and Legal Affairs Commission who had followed him:

"We have intervened according to procedure. All case files and surveillance footage from the investigation area have been sealed. The law enforcement supervision department will now begin retrieving relevant materials and prepare a special report as soon as possible."

The head of the supervision section immediately nodded: "Understood, Secretary Du."

"We'll also take separate statements from Sun Yan and these three officers, and cross-examine their accounts. The key is to find out who gave the orders, how they were given, whether any bribes were received, and whether anyone was behind it. We need to investigate every single detail and get to the bottom of it."

"Understood, Secretary Du."

The three supervisors responded and then split up to carry out their tasks.

Xu Jie then looked at the police station's instructor, a female police officer in her thirties with a serious face: "Instructor Li, take these four people to the duty room first, and collect all their cell phones. We'll formally hand them over when the inspectors arrive."

Instructor Li nodded and walked up to Sun Yan and the three police officers: "Come with me."

The four of them followed her dejectedly toward the duty room.

trial room.

The door was opened from the outside.

Lu Jingzheng was leaning back in his chair, deep in thought, when he heard the door open and he raised his eyelids.

The man who walked in was no longer Sun Yan, but an elderly policeman in his fifties with graying hair.

Xie Yiyuan walked to the iron table, swiftly and decisively unlocked the handcuffs, and pulled them back.

Lu Jingxiu moved his wrists, revealing a faint red mark where they had been handcuffed.

"Young man," Xie Yiyuan said politely, hanging the handcuffs on his waist, "I am the director. This was our mistake, and Sun Yan has been suspended."

Lu Jingxiu nodded without saying anything.

"Then you can go back now. I will handle the rest seriously."

Lu Jingxiu glanced at him, but didn't ask any questions or complain or question him. He then strode towards the corridor.

The police station was in a state of flurry of activity.

People came and went, and several uniformed faces hurried by. Some were sealing up materials, while others were talking in hushed tones.

Lu Jingxiu stopped paying attention to those people. He stood at the door, reached into his pocket, and then remembered that his phone was still with Lin Yutang.

Without a cell phone, you can't even hail a taxi.

Just as he was wondering whether he should borrow a phone, Director Xie Yiyuan strode over, carrying a transparent evidence bag containing Lu Jingxiu's wallet, keys, and student ID.

"Lu, your belongings are all here," Xie Yiyuan said politely. After handing over the items, he turned to the side and called out, "Xiao Liu, take my car and take Lu home."

"Yes, Chief!" Officer Xiao Liu responded immediately, jogging over and gesturing for Lu Jingxiu to enter. "Hello, the car is outside, I'll give you a ride."

Lu Jingxiu took his things, glanced at them briefly, and nodded: "Thank you."

After getting into the black sedan with civilian license plates, Lu Jingxiu borrowed a cell phone from Xiao Liu. He took the phone and skillfully dialed his own number.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Feed?" Lin Yutang's voice came through the receiver. Her tone was very pleasant, but there was a hint of nervousness in it.

"Lin Yutang, it's me, Lu Jingxiu."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then Lin Yutang's voice rose slightly: "How are you? Are you alright?"

He spoke much faster than usual, as if he had been holding back for a long time and had finally received this call.

"It's nothing, I'm on my way back to Thai Bank Mall right now. Where are you? Let's talk when we meet."

"I was sitting in a café on the first floor of the mall..." Lin Yutang's voice suddenly lowered, as if she didn't want the people next to her to hear, "I feel like the people from Trish are watching me."

Lu Jingxiu frowned.

This German CEO is really like a fly, you can't swat him away.

The matter of getting him into the police station this time is not over yet.

"There are lots of people in the coffee shop, and there are security cameras, so they won't dare to do anything reckless," he reassured calmly. "Just sit there, don't wander off, and wait for me."

"Okay." Lin Yutang's voice calmed down a little.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingxiu returned it to Xiao Liu. The car drove smoothly through the twilight, heading towards the city center.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Taiyin Shopping Mall. Lu Jingxiu thanked them and got out of the car.

The mall was brightly lit in the evening, and there were still quite a few people. He went straight into the chain coffee shop on the first floor, his eyes scanning the lobby, and soon spotted Lin Yutang in a seat by the window.

She sat there, her eyes glancing occasionally at the door and the window. On the chair next to her were several shopping bags she had just bought that afternoon.

Almost the instant Lu Jingxiu stepped through the door, Lin Yutang saw him. She seemed to have found her pillar of support, breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed her shoulders a little.

Lu Jingxiu first went to the bar and ordered two coffees before pulling out a chair and sitting down opposite her.

"You're alright, that's great," Lin Yutang said softly, her gaze quickly sweeping over him to make sure he wasn't injured.

Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Was it done by Trish's men?"

Lu Jingxiu nodded: "He bribed a deputy director of the police station to get me arrested, but that person has now been suspended from duty and is under investigation."

Lin Yutang let out a soft breath, a blush of guilt rising on her face: "I'm sorry... it's all because of me that I've caused you so much trouble."

She pursed her lips, as if making up her mind, and said softly, "I... I think I'll leave here tonight and go somewhere far away."
