After Fu Yao finished speaking, he retreated quietly to Cheng Ji's side, leaving Wang Guangming alone there roaring.

"Damn it, you've all slandered me. I've never seen any 'Little Red Book'. I didn't mean to."

"With witnesses and physical evidence, you still want to deny it? Bring him out here."

Cheng Ji frowned and gave a cold shout.

"Minister Han, when you send people over, it would be best to tell them to also investigate Wang Guangming's home. As public officials, to so blatantly disregard national leadership policies, their intentions must be treacherous."

"Yes." Han Chaoying had the same idea, and when Cheng Ji brought it up, she nodded slightly.

Wang Guangming's face turned pale and weak as he watched the two men decide his fate in just a few words.

He gasped for breath, like a dying fish, but his eyes were fixed fiercely on Fu Yao's position.

Fu Yao had been watching him closely. Upon seeing this, he smiled smugly, his innocent expression nearly making Wang Guangming so angry he almost spat out blood.

However, Wang Guangming was truly an unkillable cockroach. Soon, he adjusted his breathing and extricated himself from the predicament.

"I accidentally let the 'Little Red Book' slip through my fingers; it's nothing special."

"Furthermore, I came to search the premises based on a tip-off. I have a perfectly legitimate claim, and you have no right to interfere with me."

"Fu Yao, as a family member of a member of the Military and Political University, is abusing his power and competing with the country for profit. How can I not intervene?"

"You, go, keep searching!"

Wang Guangming didn't know where the strength came from, but he managed to break free from the two people holding him hostage.

Seeing Cheng Ji's cold face, Han Chaoying immediately gave the two of them a look and continued to help him back.

Wang Guangming, who was being restrained, glared at Fu Yao with a fierce look in his eyes.

Cheng Ji frowned, and was about to step forward when Fu Yao grabbed his arm.

Fu Yao shook his head slightly, then patted his hand reassuringly.

Their eyes met, and seeing Fu Yao's confident demeanor, Cheng Ji slowly retreated.

He was worried that Wang Guangming would hurt Fu Yao, so he adopted a protective posture and leaned close to Fu Yao.

Fu Yao felt the man's body temperature, and his tense back relaxed a little.

"Director Wang, what do you mean by competing with the country for profit? My neighbor and I were just helping each other out. I can't take the blame for something so big."

"As for your throwing away the 'Little Red Book,' everyone saw it and has their own conclusions. But personally, I would never throw a book just because I'm angry."

Fu Yao gave a light scoff, effectively debunking Wang Guangming's sophistry.

"Besides, you've already searched the whole place and found nothing. Now, are you trying to extract a confession through torture?"

Fu Yao was a little worried when Cheng Ji didn't come back, but now that she has a man behind her, she feels much more confident.

Furthermore, regarding the fact that she didn't accept any money, no matter how you try to shift the blame, it won't fall on her.

Now, Fu Yao is more worried that Wang Guangming will resort to desperate measures and take the opportunity to harm her.

After all, the Geographical Investigation Committee has extensive experience in searches, and no one knows better than them what is illegal.

If the committee members later leave something inappropriate in her home where no one can see it, where will she go to complain?

Sure enough, a hint of unease flashed across Wang Guangming's eyes. Although it was very subtle, Fu Yao still caught it.

"So you refused to be tested?"

Wang Guangming wiped the blood from his face and smiled sinisterly.

"Of course not. Cooperating with the committee's inspection is a citizen's duty. I don't have Director Wang's audacity to disregard national policies."

Fu Yao could see through this scheme. If she agreed to the inspection, something unrecognizable would immediately appear in her house. If she refused, she would be falsely accused of refusing inspection, putting her at a disadvantage.

Therefore, no matter what, neither she nor Cheng Ji will end up in a good situation.

However, she wasn't one to be trifled with. Fu Yao looked at Wang Guangming's face, which was contorted with anger because of her words, and smiled with great pleasure.

Upon hearing Fu Yao's words, everyone else present looked at her with some concern, but Cheng Ji felt much more at ease upon seeing her little fox's smile.

"No need for sweet talk. Since you've agreed, then go search!" Wang Guangming snorted coldly, his face still showing lingering anger.

However, when he said this, none of the members of the Ge Committee behind him responded.

There's no other reason than that Wang Guangming's actions were too frightening. Throwing the "Little Red Book" in front of so many people, they didn't want to be punished later.

Seeing that no one answered him from behind, Wang Guangming became even more furious.

"You bunch of idiots, what are you waiting for?!"

The members of the committee were startled by him, but seeing the indifferent expressions of Cheng Ji and Han Chaoying, they dared not move.

Only then did Wang Guangming realize that his situation was hopeless. Seeing everyone taking a few steps back to avoid suspicion, he swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that Wang Guangming was thoroughly provoked, Fu Yao felt no remorse, only a sense of exhilaration.

Thinking back to the day she was reborn, how she and Cheng Ji were driven to such a state by this old scoundrel, now, she has finally gotten her revenge.

Fu Yao lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Guangming, whose face was ashen. He decided to use him again to pave the way for his small business, which was a good deal for him.

"Minister Han, although Director Wang has nothing to say, I will keep my promise since I made it. This is my responsibility as a citizen."

"However, I hope that the comrades from the Political Department and the Geographical Commission will conduct the search together, so that I can feel more at ease."

"However, if no evidence is found in my home that I am profiting at the expense of the state, I hope you will clarify the matter for me."

Fu Yao spoke calmly and unhurriedly, which caught Han Chaoying's attention.

Seeing Cheng Ji nod, Han Chaoying nodded in agreement.

"Of course, we won't wrong anyone. Besides, Professor Cheng had already informed us."

"Since Comrade Fu has said so, then you may all go and search together. Remember, do not make a mess or destroy anything."

"yes!"

Without Wang Guangming leading the charge, and with members of the Political Department accompanying them, the members of the Ge Committee naturally dared not act rashly.

They started their search from the kitchen, with Fu Yao and Han Chaoying following quietly by.

However, as soon as one button is pressed, another brilliant person starts doing something foolish.

Upon hearing that Fu Yao was to undergo an examination, Cheng Ji silently walked into the main room.

His original intention was to prevent someone from finding the two people's private items in the bedroom, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw a sneaky figure in the main room, who was stuffing something in the cabinet.

Hearing Cheng Ji's footsteps, Guo Zhaodi turned around in a panic, scattering the money notes in her hands all over the ground.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Cheng Ji's face showed a rare anger as he stared intently at Guo Zhaodi's hand.

"I...I didn't do anything." Guo Zhaodi felt flustered under Cheng Ji's gaze and turned to leave.

But Cheng Ji wasn't about to let her go. In one swift motion, he pinned her to the ground.
