"Comrade Li, even if your father is a leader, you can't act arrogantly here."

Li Xiuxiu scoffed, "So what if I'm showing off? I rely on my dad, and you don't rely on your dad either. Oh, wait, you rely on your father-in-law."

We're both equally bad, so let's not argue. If you're so capable, just take me away.

"Li Xiuxiu," Liu Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Liu Zhi, I don't care who reported Qiao Wanyue, you release her now. If she loses even a single hair, I'll tell Uncle Liu that you're keeping a mistress and cheating on his daughter."

Liu Zhi's hand trembled.

He glared at Li Xiuxiu with a sinister look.

But the pampered young lady, raised from childhood, was not afraid of such people.

She put her hands on her hips and stared directly into his eyes.

Liu Zhi was puzzled; how did he know?

He was clearly hiding very well.

"Comrade Li, we have received an anonymous letter reporting Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo. We must investigate this matter thoroughly."

Li Xiuxiu scoffed, "Investigate? Your investigation is just torture to extract confessions?"

Liu Zhi: "Comrade Li, don't spout nonsense."

"Liu Zhi, release him."

Guo Wei, supporting an elderly leader, staggered into the security office.

Liu Zhi frowned involuntarily when he saw the old man.

The old leader looked like he had just come down from the battlefield, exuding a chilling aura.

"Liu Zhi, I signed off on Qiao Wanyue's communications, and I also authorized them to sell dried vegetables. I signed off on that as well. I'd like to ask, who exactly reported them? I also know the price of the dried vegetables."

I've already had someone check with the state-owned factory; the prices quoted by Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo are already higher than the market price. Who paid for the profits they made? You did?

The former leader pressed his face directly, saying, "Give me the letter of complaint."

Liu Zhi: "Old leader, we keep whistleblowers confidential. We would never break the rules for you."

The old leader smiled.

"Yeah?"

"I remember you're about to be promoted, aren't you?"

Liu Zhi's expression changed.

The old leader said casually, "I have an old comrade-in-arms who works in the provincial capital. We haven't been in touch for a long time. I'll write to him when I have time."

Liu Zhi cursed the man in his heart.

But he dared not be disrespectful to the person in front of him.

His tone softened slightly, "Old leader, we received a tip-off, and we need to investigate the truth first..."

The old leader didn't give him a chance at all, saying, "You want to find out the truth, right? Then release the person first, and come back to arrest them when you have concrete evidence."

Liu Zhi wanted to say something more.

The old leader didn't give him a chance and directly had his men break into the so-called interrogation room.

The door opened.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw inside.

Qiao Wanyue gripped the whip in reverse and lashed it directly at the enforcer, leaving him with gaping wounds.

Secretary Guo, covered in blood from being beaten, was still squatting in the corner.

"Liu Zhi, you bastard, how dare you try to kill me!" The old leader kicked Liu Zhi in the chest. Although the old leader was old, he was strong. Liu Zhi flew out and crashed into another door.

They smashed the door open, revealing a bloody scene.

The old leader frowned.

"Dad." Guo Wei rushed into the room and helped his father up.

"Old leader, this is the security department, you can't be so presumptuous here."

The old leader scoffed, "Go ahead and arrest me."

He scoffed coldly.

"Good job, little girl."

Qiao Wanyue threw away the whip and sniffed. "After these people arrested us, they wanted us to confess. When we refused, they tried to whip us. I dodged, but Secretary Guo didn't and was whipped several times."
