Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

After a cold laugh, Commissioner Geng blew a smoke ring.

"Go ahead and sue me; those of lower rank won't win."

"However, I advise you to confess honestly, so as to avoid further physical suffering."

Edison Chen gritted his teeth: "You! This was a forced confession!"

Commissioner Geng gave a slight shake of his finger and smiled dismissively: "That's how I do things."

He waved his hand, signaling his men to continue beating Chen Guanxi until he spoke.

Outside the interrogation room, Station Chief Liang listened to Chen Guanxi's screams, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

"Damn it, if no one reports him, I will! Does he really think there's no law in this new society?!"

Director Wang followed after hearing the commotion. She also disliked this Commissioner Geng intensely; she had never seen anyone act like this before.

"Hello, this is Station Chief Liang from the grain depot. I'm looking for Director Yu."

Station Master Liang rushed to the station master's office, made a phone call, wiped the sweat from his brow, and felt a great sense of relief.

"Station Chief Liang, did you invite Director Yu, who is in charge of criminal investigation?" Director Wang asked.

"Yes, everyone has a few friends! This Commissioner Geng is really too much. He'll just walk away and then all the employees at the grain station will come and call me a coward."

"You've come to the right place. As the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he's just here to see how his subordinate, surnamed Geng, is handling things!"

Director Wang then turned to Chang Kun: "Xiao Kun, what do we do next?"

"Aunt Wang, Station Master Liang, I know what I'm doing. The grain coupons won't run away. We just need to wait."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang and Station Chief Liang immediately moved closer to Chang Kun, staring intently at him.

"Aunt Wang, this is a secret that cannot be revealed now. I'm waiting for the thief to slip up."

Director Wang was extremely excited. He spun around a few times and then patted Chang Kun on the shoulder.

"Little Kun, well done! I knew you could do it! Hahaha!"

Station Chief Liang looked incredulous and turned to look at Director Wang.

"Director Wang...we haven't even searched the entire grain station, how did we find the grain coupons?"

"Director Liang, don't worry, Xiao Kun never talks nonsense!"

……

On the other side, in the makeshift interrogation room.

Commissioner Geng received a report from his subordinates that Chang Kun and others had entered the stationmaster's office and had not come out, which further convinced him that Chen Guanxi was the key figure.

Otherwise, why would Chang Kun stop questioning other people?

The interrogation room was filled with Edison Chen's pitiful screams.

As a celebrity who was like a weed standing in the grain station, it was soon known throughout the station that Edison Chen had been arrested and taken to the interrogation room.

Seeing that Chen Guanxi refused to confess, Commissioner Geng wished he could beat him up himself.

After being stationed at the grain depot for two or three days, he had made no progress on the whereabouts of the grain coupons, and he was very anxious, to the point of being a little crazy.

Fortunately, his men were skilled at beating people, and each time they hit Edison Chen on his soft flesh, so that he felt pain but was not seriously injured.

Otherwise, Edison Chen's fate would be uncertain.

Since his parents died, Edison Chen has been living alone. If he didn't have some skills, he would have been taken advantage of by his relatives long ago. Now that he was being beaten so badly, his ruthlessness suddenly came out.

He gritted his teeth, remaining silent. He refused to believe that these people would dare to beat him to death in the grain depot!

If you kill him, then these people will never leave the grain station!

Do you really think the phrase "older brother of workers" is just empty rhetoric?!

……

In the stationmaster's office.

Station Master Liang had the small kitchen prepare a few dishes to entertain Chang Kun and Director Wang.

Since Chang Kun and Director Wang were so confident that the grain coupons wouldn't be lost, he decided to believe them for the time being. He would have a good meal and wait for Director Yu to come to the grain station in the afternoon to make the decision for them.

It was past 5 p.m., and the grain station had already closed for the day, when Director Yu finally arrived.

"Director Yu, welcome to the grain station to guide our work." Station Chief Liang jogged over to greet him.

"Station Chief Liang, don't be so polite. You sounded quite aggrieved on the phone. Was it because my subordinates were too rude?"

"No, no, it's just... work is work, and some friction is inevitable." Station Chief Liang didn't dare to directly accuse Commissioner Geng, and decided to let Director Yu handle it himself.

"Oh? Come on, let's go see what's going on. It's all about work!"

Director Yu, having not witnessed Commissioner Geng's actions, first downplayed the matter with a brief statement.

Before even entering the temporary interrogation room, Director Yu heard a series of wails. His face darkened, and he pushed the door open and went in.

"What's going on!"

A young man lay curled up on the ground, his exposed arms and legs covered in bruises and purple welts.

Did they catch the thief and are interrogating him?

The scene was really messed up, especially inside the grain depot. This Xiao Geng doesn't even care about the consequences when he does things!

No wonder the grain station manager came to me to complain.

Commissioner Geng, who was sitting and blowing smoke rings, immediately stood up straight when he saw Director Yu.

"Hello, Director Yu!"

No wonder he was able to become a specialist in the ministry; with that kind of attitude, how could his superiors not be satisfied?

"Xiao Geng, what's going on here?" Director Yu ignored Commissioner Geng's greeting and pointed to Chen Guanxi on the ground.

"Chief, this person is highly suspicious, and I'm currently interrogating him."

Commissioner Geng broke out in a cold sweat. The investigation hadn't made any progress yet, and his superior had already arrived.

The scene right now is a primary school student who was just about to copy homework being caught red-handed by the teacher.

"Strongly suspected? Tell me about it."

Director Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they hadn't attacked the wrong person, that was good. Thieves won't confess unless they're beaten.

Commissioner Geng is at a loss; he still hasn't gotten any specific information about the alleged suspicions!

He only knew that Chang Kun had interrogated Chen Guanxi, so he quickly seized the man and subjected him to severe torture to extract a confession.

I didn't expect this kid to be so resilient; he hasn't said a word since.

At this moment, Chen Guanxi opened his eyes, which were swollen into slits, and knew that a higher-ranking official had arrived. He quickly spoke.

"Governor, I'm innocent! They... tortured me into confessing!"

Upon hearing this, Director Yu's expression changed: "Xiao Geng! What is he suspected of? Speak up immediately!"

Commissioner Geng pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said softly, "Director, I'm still investigating the specifics..."

Station Chief Liang, who had been waiting impatiently, added fuel to the fire: "Still under investigation? No evidence? No evidence to warrant beating our comrade like this? Is this how you handle a case?"

Although the words were directed at Commissioner Geng, Director Yu felt embarrassed and his face burned.

This is fucking ridiculous!

No wonder people have to go through connections to complain to you, you surnamed Geng, you came to my territory and made me lose face!

"Nonsense! How can you treat your comrades like this! Unlock these handcuffs immediately!"

Director Yu glanced at the bruises on Chen Guanxi's body and couldn't bear to look at them. What kind of mess was this? It was outrageous!

Commissioner Geng's ability to rise to such a high position is truly remarkable. He snatched the handcuff key, bent down, and unlocked Chen Guanxi's handcuffs.

"Comrade Chen, I'm sorry you had to suffer. I was too impatient and only wanted to help the grain station recover the grain coupons as soon as possible and make up for the losses. I apologize to you."

After saying this, he bowed deeply and remained standing for a long time.

Chen Guanxi slowly got up, chuckling coldly, "Apologize? What's there to apologize for? If your superiors hadn't come, you'd probably still be beating me up, wouldn't you?"

Commissioner Geng lowered his head, bending over at a 90-degree angle: "Comrade Chen, I'm doing all this to recover the losses of the grain station. At this time, please don't take your personal grievances too seriously. The overall situation should be the priority."

"Prioritize the overall situation? To hell with your overall situation!" Chen Guanxi suddenly raised his foot and kicked Commissioner Geng hard in the face, who was looking down.

"ah!"

A scream rang out, and chaos ensued...
