Zhuang Tongfang quickly snatched the fax paper and immediately recognized the girl on it as her daughter, Zhuang Wanting.

He was so angry that his hands trembled, his face was ashen, and he said in a cold voice:

"Do you know what you're doing? This is kidnapping! It's a crime, and you'll be punished!"

"Really? Then do you even know what you've done? You've embezzled public funds, perverted the course of justice, and framed the innocent. Isn't that a crime? And you don't have to be punished?"

Fengzi retorted with a cold laugh:

"Captain Zhuang, let's not waste time with nonsense. In short, if you find a way to release Lin Dong, your daughter will be fine."

Are you threatening me?

"Yes, and by the way, you only have 24 hours. After that, I can't guarantee your daughter's safety. Those people are all desperate criminals who are capable of anything."

Zhuang Tongfang's face was ashen, and his lips trembled.

He was furious. He, a high-ranking police officer, was being threatened and trampled on by a group of gangsters.

No matter how upset I am, the situation is beyond my control now. Can I just ignore my daughter's safety?

Furthermore, are they disregarding the secrets of the Zhuang family's ancestral home?

That's a huge bombshell; if it explodes, Zhuang Tongfang's entire future will be ruined.

Aside from being infamous and spending the rest of his life in prison, he won't have a better ending.

"Alright, I promise you, Lin Dong will only be detained, he has not been formally sentenced."

There's still room for maneuver; with some effort, they could use insufficient evidence to request an acquittal.

Zhuang Tongfang reluctantly compromised:

"However, once Lin Dong comes out, you guarantee you'll release my daughter immediately. If you harm a single hair on her head, I'll never forgive you!"

"Don't worry, Captain Zhuang. We're in the underworld, and we're very trustworthy. There's also a small matter I need to trouble you with, Captain Zhuang."

"What's up?"

"The TV station wants to interview you to give your opinion on the Rongshudu shooting case. Of course, this also represents the police's attitude."

Fengzi pointed to the interview team in front of the ancestral home, offering a meaningful reminder:

"Captain Zhuang, this interview is actually beneficial to you. The higher-ups are watching this matter. We don't need to spell it out, right? The higher-ups are obviously referring to Beijing."

Zhuang Tongfang was startled, realizing he had almost forgotten about this, and broke out in a cold sweat.
