Regardless of his personal relationships with various conglomerates, the city hall itself has many of his vassals. Where there are people, there is a complex web of relationships, and it's not as simple as just handcuffing someone, taking them away, and throwing them in jail.

In other words, if we simply arrest him, the punishment he will receive will be completely disproportionate to the crimes he has committed.

Of course, there are also further options. The most obvious signal is that Xu Shi gave her the item, which means that he intends to bring Yue Chizheng down. With his support, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Last time, Xu Shang even punished Jiang Fengshan with private torture. This time, she could do the same thing, or even use a different method. She just doesn't want to do similar things, not that she can't.

The problem lies in the word "unwilling." Regardless of her private relationship with Xu Shi, she was unwilling to show favoritism in this matter—firstly, it would undermine the impartiality of law enforcement, and secondly, doing so would be tantamount to admitting that Xu Shi's influence was going to infiltrate the city hall.

Even when things were clearly divided, we couldn't do anything about that guy. Now that things are like this, there's no need to say anything more... Putting everything else aside, with Yue Chizheng gone, we'll have to replace him with someone new, right? Who will we replace him with? Just thinking about it makes it clear that Xu Shi will definitely pick some trash.

That's what's troubling her.

It was at this moment that a violent tremor reached this place.

"What happened?"

The tense atmosphere was broken, and Tang Shuang suddenly came back to her senses and asked.

The question was answered quickly, and soon a messenger from the inspection bureau came running to deliver the message.

Those who were stuck in this room finally learned what was happening outside.

"...Say that again? Yu Xingchuan led his men to suppress the riot outside the city?"

Director Tang's brows furrowed suddenly. "Who gave her that authority? Why didn't she ask me for approval?"

"Lieutenant Yu said that special measures are needed for special times, and she can't just keep waiting if she can't contact you..."

The subordinate dared not meet her gaze and stammered in response.

Excuse!

My communication wasn't cut off, how could she not contact me? The truth is, she never contacted me at all!

Tang Shuang secretly rolled her eyes, immediately realizing that this was probably Xu Shi pulling the strings behind the scenes—he had warned her a while ago that something was going to happen soon and that she should prepare in advance.

So this is what you're preparing?

She figured it out; Xu Shi was deliberately trying to get rid of her and prevent her from getting involved in the main battle. As for Yu Xingchuan, that rascal was cunning, and Xu Shi probably liked that type the most.

As for why she was sent here, the answer is simple: Xu Shi wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Yue Chizheng as well!

He wiped out two conglomerates in one fell swoop, one of which was even closely related to Sin City... She never expected Xu Shi to be so ambitious, and yet, not only was his ambition huge, he actually succeeded!

According to reports, the chaos outside is nearing its end.

All that's left is this one stall.

"By the way, Director Tang..."

Seeing this, the subordinate handed over another small note, "This, this is what Lieutenant Yu asked me to pass on to you, saying that you must see it yourself."

"Um?"

Tang Shuang was taken aback, then took the note and unfolded it.

There is only one sentence above.

"Governor Tang, if you haven't properly handled the matters of the City Hall, then please withdraw. For the future stability of Night Sin City, it would be best to temporarily allow Yue Chizheng to continue serving as governor. —Xu Shi"

"..."

Upon seeing this sentence, Tang Shuang was immediately furious.

This isn't an order or a suggestion, this is a threat!

It has to be said that Xu Shi also had a thorough grasp of her, and was very clear about what kind of psychological activities she was going through.

All he had to do was give her another push, and deal with everything else later; he just needed to make a decision first.

The phrase "handle correctly" is quite subtle. What exactly does "correctly" mean?

Release Yue Chizheng? Obviously not.

Arresting people according to normal procedures? Not really.

For Director Tang, she now only has one choice.

Going even further, he struck that lewd old man to death with a single blow!

Chairman Xu has always been very considerate; he even thought about how to make the call and from where to do it.

"Tang Shuang, don't do anything reckless!"

Yue Chizheng also panicked. The servant's report was given in front of everyone, so he naturally heard it as well.

He even reacted faster than Tang Shuang, figuring out how Xu Shi was going to attack him.

"...Obey my orders!"

Tang Shuang ignored him, crumpled the note in her hand into a ball, and then took a deep breath.

"Governor Yue Chizheng of the City Hall, in collusion with a group of people, has conspired with the 'Forgotten Ones' to launch a large-scale riot!"

Her tone was firm and resolute: "Take him down!"

She is feeling conflicted right now.

It should be a good thing to bring a beast like Yue Chizheng to justice.

But... not in the way she wanted.

"Xu Shi, you, you're going to drive me crazy!"

This chapter is about 5,000 words long, so I'm updating a little earlier today...

The chapter I owed on the 7th will definitely be made up this month, don't worry.
