When Qi Xu came out of the office, he immediately caught a glimpse of Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong standing at the door of the interrogation room like they were "standing guard".

His heart skipped a beat and he was filled with doubts. He quickened his pace unconsciously and walked quickly towards the two people.

Walking up to him, he frowned tightly into the shape of a "川" character, and with obvious displeasure in his tone, he questioned, "Qu Junfeng! What are you two doing standing outside instead of trying the case in the room?"

The moment he saw Qi Xu, Qu Junfeng felt his heart sink suddenly, and he groaned inwardly, thinking to himself, what I fear is bound to come true!

During this period of time, they have been very nervous, afraid of meeting Qi Xu, because they really don't know how to explain the current situation to him.

Qu Junfeng forced an awkward smile on his face, scratched his head, and stammered, "Director Qi, it's Director Li Lin. He asked us to wait outside for a while before going in. Maybe... he has something important to say to Chu Yao."

Tong Zhiyong also echoed helplessly, "Yes, Director Qi, I was concentrating on taking notes at the time, and I was pulled out all of a sudden. I am still confused and don't know why."

Faced with Qi Xu's questioning, the two subconsciously pushed all the responsibility onto Li Lin, but this was indeed the fact.

When Qi Xu heard this, he immediately became furious, and a nameless rage suddenly rose up.

He pointed his finger at the two men's noses, looking disappointed, and said loudly, "You two! You have no opinions at all, you are useless! He asked you to come out and you just came out? Don't you have a mouth to remind him that there are strict disciplines for trying a case? How can one person try a case? Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by the leaders?"

Qu Junfeng looked aggrieved and said bitterly, "Director, I just wanted to remind you, but I was interrupted by Director Li before I could say anything. He must know the discipline, but he is the leader after all. If he insists on doing this, how dare we refute him?"

Tong Zhiyong also spread his hands and said helplessly, "Yes, Director, he is the special commissioner of the Provincial Party Committee. Even you have to listen to him. How dare the two of us..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Zhiyong realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly closed his mouth, a trace of panic flashing across his face.

Qi Xu was so angry at these words that his face turned blue in an instant, and his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.

What do you mean he has to listen to Li Lin too?

Although this is an indisputable fact, when it came from the subordinate's mouth, it felt like he was being severely belittled. He felt that his self-esteem was greatly hurt, and he had a rage in his heart that he couldn't suppress.

Driven by impulse, he took a step forward, reached out to push open the door of the interrogation room and walked in, wanting to stop Li Lin's illegal behavior.

But before his hand touched the door, Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong suddenly blocked him as if they had discussed it beforehand. Both of them had shocked expressions on their faces, and they whispered anxiously, "Director Qi, please don't go in!"

Qi Xu's eyes widened, his face full of confusion, and asked, "Why?"

Qu Junfeng leaned close to his ear mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Director, we heard from Li Lin that he has some secrets from his superiors to convey to Chu Yao... I think, since it is a secret and he doesn't want us to know, we'd better avoid it so as not to know too much. If there is a leak in the future, won't we all be suspected? Less trouble is worse than more, Director Qi, let's just turn a blind eye!"

"Yes, Director, let him go..." Tong Zhiyong also stretched out his hand to stop Qi Xu and advised earnestly.

Forget it? Still confidential? What kind of secrets could Li Lin know?

What secrets of the Discipline Inspection Commission are there that he, the director of the Supervision Office, cannot know?

"You two...what nonsense are you talking about?" Qi Xu was stunned, looking confused.

If there really were some secrets of the Discipline Inspection Commission that Li Lin knew but he didn't, then he had failed miserably as the director of the Supervision Office and a backbone of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

A strong sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart, as if he was being weighed down by a huge rock.

Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong looked at Qi Xu sincerely without saying anything else, but their eyes seemed to be silently persuading Qi Xu not to be confused and not to push open this door!

Qi Xu's footsteps seemed to be nailed, fixed in place, and the hand that was stretched out to push the door was slowly retracted.

He snorted coldly and said with forced calmness, "Okay... Tell Li that this won't happen again!"

After saying this, he walked away in disgrace like a defeated rooster.

Inside the interrogation room.

Li Lin looked calm, and slowly recounted the information he had obtained from Chen Guofu.

Every word was like a bombshell, causing huge waves in Chu Yao's heart.

Chu Yao listened and felt as if there was an indestructible fortress in her heart, which was collapsing bit by bit. The last string that supported her to resist suddenly broke at this moment.

Chu Guoan has confessed everything, what's the point for her to continue to hold on?

Just as Li Lin said, the Discipline Inspection Commission is fully capable of handling the case without her confession and bringing her to trial.

Chu Yao's heart began to waver. She kept struggling in her mind over whether she should do as Li Lin said, confess on her own initiative, and give herself a chance for leniency.

But before that, she still wanted to make one last struggle.

Suddenly, she was like a powder keg that had been lit, and she yelled at Li Lin hysterically, "Li Lin, don't think I will believe you just because you say a few words! My father is not that kind of person. He didn't break the law, he didn't violate any discipline, how could he confess!"
