Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Wan Zhenting's forehead, and the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat and stuck to his body stickily.

He had just received the shocking news and did not dare to delay for a moment. He rushed through the corridor of the Municipal Bureau at the speed of wind, anxiously looking for Long Gang.

Long Gang was in the office, looking at the files of Lin Yang and the other two on the table with a frown on his face. He knew clearly that there were many suspicious points in this case, but before he could investigate in depth, the situation suddenly changed. Hearing a hurried knock on the door, he looked up and saw Wan Zhenting pushing the door open, his face so gloomy that water could drip out.

"Xiaogang, there's no point saying anything now, just release him quickly. You know Director Wang's temper. If he calls again to urge us, both you and I will be in trouble." Wan Zhenting paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Every step revealed anxiety and helplessness, and his heavy sighs seemed to suck the air out of the office.

Long Gang frowned, looking embarrassed. He stood up and faced Wan Zhenting, trying to make a final effort. "Director Wan, you also know that Lin Yang and the other two are highly suspicious. Once we let them go, it won't be easy to catch them again in the future. You have to think carefully." There was reluctance in his voice and his eyes were fixed on Wan Zhenting, hoping to see a hint of hesitation in the eyes of this superior.

Wan Zhenting paused, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of struggle, but soon, the pressure of reality made him compromise.

He stopped pacing, looked at Long Gang solemnly, and said earnestly, "Xiao Gang, a man of insight is a wise man. My situation is also very difficult. I hope you can understand. Let's release the person first!"

At this moment, he had no idea of ​​how to handle the case in his mind. His mind was full of how to protect his precarious career in this turbulent vortex of power.

Long Gang sighed helplessly. He knew that Wan Zhenting had made up his mind and it would be futile for him to insist. He nodded silently, picked up the key on the table, and took Wan Zhenting to the place where Lin Yang was imprisoned.

The door of the interrogation room slowly opened, making a dull sound, as if opening a new chapter of a silent contest. Long Gang stood at the door expressionlessly and said to Lin Yang in the room, "You can leave now!"

The voice was cold and hard, without a trace of warmth.

Lin Yang was sitting on the interrogation chair, swinging his legs out of boredom. When he heard this, he was stunned at first, as if he had heard it wrongly. Then a big sarcastic smile instantly blossomed on his face, and the arc of his mouth was full of pride. "Captain Long, didn't you want to interrogate us? Why are you letting us go so soon?" As he spoke, he slowly stood up and deliberately stretched his body, as if to demonstrate to Long Gang.

Long Gang snorted coldly, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and shot back, "Don't be complacent, as long as I find evidence, I will catch you back!" The tone seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with strong unwillingness and stubbornness, he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white due to the force.

Lin Yang didn't care at all. He brushed off the wrinkles on his body that had resulted from sitting for a long time, and walked towards the door with a swagger. When passing by Long Gang, he deliberately and arrogantly rubbed his shoulder, with a provocative attitude almost written on his face.

Walking out of the house, the warm sunshine sprinkled on him. He squinted his eyes comfortably, with a look of enjoyment on his face, as if announcing his victory to the world.

Soon, Lin Yang's two companions also walked out of the interrogation room one after another. Seeing Lin Yang's arrogance, they looked at each other, immediately understood what he meant, and laughed out loud without disguising. The laughter echoed in the corridor of the police station and was particularly harsh.

At this time, Wan Zhenting also hurried over, his face instantly filled with a flattering smile, but that smile looked a little stiff. He laughed at Lin Yang and the other two and said, "Officer Lin, I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding, so I had to leave you in Pingyang... Hehehe... To express my apology, how about I treat you three to a meal tonight?"

His voice trembled slightly, there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and his hands unconsciously rubbed back and forth at the seam of his trousers.

Lin Yang glanced at Wan Zhenting, and the mockery in his eyes became even stronger. He smiled and teased: "Director Wan, there is no need to eat. Hurry up and return our guns and cars to us. We have to rush back to report to Director Wang..."

He deliberately emphasized the three words "Director Wang". The implication was obvious: he was reminding Wan Zhenting that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended this time.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away..." Wan Zhenting rubbed his hands nervously like a primary school student who had made a mistake, and continued to say to Lin Yang and the other two in a flattering manner, "When you three see Director Wang, you must explain everything to him and let him understand the difficulties of our Municipal Bureau. Hehe, thank you."

That humble attitude formed a sharp contrast with his usual majestic demeanor.

Lin Yang smiled arrogantly and said, "Director Wan, we will explain the situation to Director Wang. When Director Wang learns that your Pingyang police are so serious about their work that they even don't let their own people go... he might even praise you, hehe... just wait for Director Wang to give you a certificate of commendation!" His words were full of sarcasm, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was ridiculing Wan Zhenting for not listening to Director Wang and detaining them privately.

As Wan Zhenting listened to Lin Yang's sarcasm, the smile on his face froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only stand there, unable to move forward or backward.

Lin Yang didn't want to waste time with him any more. Seeing that the procedures for releasing them had been completed, he took two of his men and strode out of the Pingyang Public Security Bureau without looking back. His resolute back seemed to be drawing a clear line between him and this place.
