The next day.

The inspection department held a press conference.

The meeting was chaired by Zhang Tianlai, the city's top official.

Zhang Tianlai was brimming with confidence, because if he handled today's matter well, his promotion would be finalized soon, and he would be able to get on Xu Liang's good side. His future was limitless.

Of course, this future was achieved by stepping on the shoulders of Zhao Guangcai and Wang Renfeng.

Zhao Guangcai is one thing, he did indeed violate some regulations, but Wang Renfeng is truly innocent. He's always been an honest official, and his family only owns one house, which is already mortgaged. Who can he complain to?

"Comrade Renfeng, I'm so sorry for what I did to you this time, I..."

In prison, Zhao Guangcai was filled with guilt and embarrassed to look at Wang Renfeng.

If today's press conference goes ahead, he will be forever infamous. Wang Renfeng will also be implicated, and both of them are destined to be 'forgotten in history'.

Wang Renfeng sighed, "Vice Mayor Zhao, don't blame yourself too much. They dragged me down, it has nothing to do with you. It was all Xu Dong's doing. I heard long ago that the head of this inspection team is a relative of his. He took the opportunity to get rid of me so that he could take the position for himself!"

"Aristocratic families..."

Zhao Guangcai leaned against the wall and sighed softly, "What good are decades of official service? Compared to those powerful families, we are nothing but ants! Poor me, Zhao, I have worked diligently for decades, hoping to achieve something and do something for the people, but I never expected to end up like this!"

Zhao Guangcai looked extremely miserable.

He had originally hoped to use the Blue Book project to advance his career. Now, all of that is irrelevant to him; he will likely spend the rest of his life in this dark prison.

"Vice Mayor Zhao, don't be too sad!"

Wang Renfeng sighed and said, "As an official, one should benefit the people in one's jurisdiction and fulfill one's duty. What use are empty titles? After death, dust returns to dust, and future generations will judge one's merits and demerits. One should only seek to have a clear conscience in this life!"

Zhao Guangcai nodded, looking ashamed, and said, "At my age, I've really wasted my life. I'm not as carefree as you, my brother!"

Wang Renfeng sighed, shook his head with a bitter smile, "My wife passed away early, and I don't have many relatives around me anymore. My social circle is clean, so I don't have many worries. My only regret is that I didn't get to see my daughter get married!"

Wang Renfeng knew he couldn't get out, and now, his biggest worry was his daughter.

"dad!"

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.

A dashing figure in a black police uniform ran in from outside. Behind her were two tall, imposing men. It was Feng Jiu and Lin Yu.

"Xiaoqin, Mr. Lin?" Wang Renfeng was extremely surprised. The place where they were being held was very secluded, and he never expected that his daughter and Lin Yu would be able to find it.

Zhao Guangcai also hurriedly stood up and looked at Lin Yu, "Mr. Lin, what brings you here? You should leave quickly, we are now under investigation and will implicate you!"

This incident is bound to involve many people, and everyone else is trying to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Lin Yu actually came to see him.

Wang Xiaoqin said excitedly, "Dad, Vice Mayor Zhao, don't worry, Young Marshal Lin has already understood the situation and he will stand up for us!"

"What? Young Marshal?"

The two were stunned, both with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Could it be that Dr. Lin is actually the famous Young Marshal Lin?

Lin Yu didn't care about their surprised expressions, and simply said, "I've already investigated your matter. It was Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong who colluded to frame you. Since this is my territory, I won't allow such a thing to happen! You'll come with me to the press conference later to expose their crimes!"

...

At the press conference.

Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong were in the reception room.

Xu Liang sat at the head of the table, leisurely sipping his tea.

"Team Leader Xu, don't worry, I've already written the report. We caught two big fish this time, all thanks to your inspection team!" Zhang Tianlai said with a fawning expression.

Xu Dong quickly added, "To thank you for your guidance and help in our work, Mayor Zhang has prepared some local specialties for you in the car. Please take them back and be sure to try them!"

"No rush, let's talk about it after the press conference!" Xu Liang nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the report.

I just arrived in Harbin yesterday, and I didn't expect to get this done and make money too. This patrol trip was really comfortable!

"Mayor Zhang, it's almost time, and the media have all arrived!" At this moment, Zhang Tianlai's secretary walked over and said.

Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong exchanged a glance, nodded, said something to Xu Liang, and then walked outside.

Zhang Tian glanced at his watch and slowly stepped onto the stage. He tested the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is our regular press conference in Harbin, where we will summarize the work of this quarter!"

"Our GDP reached a new high this quarter, which is the result of the joint efforts of all sectors of our society!"

"However, in this process, we also conducted self-examination and discovered some problems and shortcomings in our work!"

"We must thank our inspection team for their notification, which promptly identified some bad apples within our ranks! We must be courageous in admitting our mistakes and reflecting on them in time, so as to provide a favorable business environment for economic development and safeguard the people's property and economic progress! Today, on the eve of the inspection team's arrival, we are making this public announcement to expose these bad apples to the public. We hope that our colleagues will take heed and that the general public will offer their corrections!"

After rambling on for a while, Zhang Tianlai was finally about to announce the bad apples.

"In recent projects, we found Zhao Guangcai and Comrade Wang Renfeng..."

Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside—"I want to see how a thief cries 'Stop thief!'"

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that someone would dare to interrupt Zhang Tianlai's report in this setting!

Zhang Tianlai also frowned and looked over, then... *whoosh*!

Then a tall figure strode in, leading a group of police officers. Each of them had a solemn expression and sharp eyes as they looked at Zhang Tianlai, Xu Dong, and the others.

Among them were not only police officers, but also personnel from public security, procuratorate and court. Zhang Tianlai was completely bewildered. As the top leader, he didn't seem to have called people from these departments today!

At this moment, Xu Dong saw Wang Xiaoqin in the crowd and immediately shouted, "Wang Xiaoqin, how dare you! Who gave you permission to come? Get your people out of here right now!"

"I think you're the one with a lot of nerve!" Wang Xiaoqin shouted. "The young marshal is here today, and he won't tolerate you corrupt officials twisting the truth!"
