This was the first time Zhong Te had seen Hu Bingyang so forceful, and he was furious, but all he could do was grab the phone.

When the call connected, Zhong Te said urgently, "Uncle Xu, I'm here..."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to say a few words, but Zhong Te's voice grew lower and lower, and his face became increasingly pale, until finally it was almost a pleading tone.

After a moment, he hung up the phone dejectedly, his fists clenched tightly.

Seeing his expression, Hu Bingyang understood that Secretary Xu probably didn't want to give him face.

He ignored Zhong Te, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Soon, Hu Bingyang arrived at the interrogation room. Zhang Jianhao was soaking wet, his face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Hu Bingyang immediately dismissed the interrogating police officers and personally stepped forward to unlock Zhang Jianhao's handcuffs: "Young comrade, I'm sorry you've been wronged. I am Hu Bingyang, the director of Jiefang Street Police Station..."

After offering words of comfort and apology, he asked someone to bring him clean clothes. He then went to several rooms next door to apologize to Li Qiming and the others in the same way.

Since we can't count on Chung Te, this matter must be settled tonight.

Half an hour later, Hu Bingyang accompanied the two inspectors to a temporarily vacated office, where Zhao Daming was also present.

Zhang Jianhao and the others changed into clean clothes. Although they were injured, they were in much better spirits.

Zhao Daming kept gesturing to them with his eyes, signaling them not to say anything out of line.

During routine questioning by the inspectors, Zhang Jianhao and others only said they were cooperating with the investigation and knew nothing else.

An inspector flipped through the newly recorded "confessions," his brow twitching almost imperceptibly, as if he wanted to say something.

Hu Bingyang immediately smiled and said, "Leaders, we were just asking these young comrades to assist in the investigation. Perhaps we were a little hasty in our approach. We will definitely pay attention in the future and ensure civilized law enforcement."

The inspector glanced at Hu Bingyang but didn't investigate further.

The statement "has no problems".

The two inspectors gave a few more instructions and then got up to take their leave.

Hu Bingyang and Zhao Daming saw them off at the police station gate.

Hu Bingyang turned to Zhao Daming and waved his hand: "You can take him away."

"Thanks, Lao Hu." Zhao Daming was pondering to himself, the inspector's arrival was suspicious, whose work could it be? Zhang Cheng? Does he have that much power?

He led Zhang Jianhao and the other six out of the interrogation area, but as soon as they reached the hall, they suddenly stopped.

Zhang Cheng was standing in the center of the hall, a faint smile on his face.

"elder brother!"

"Brother Dog!"

Zhang Jianhao and the others were both surprised and delighted, and almost rushed forward.

At the entrance to the duty room, Zhong Te stared intently at Zhang Cheng with a cold look in his eyes as he walked over step by step.

Seeing this, Hu Bingyang immediately stepped forward, blocking Zhong Te's path, and warned in a low voice, "Zhong Te, don't cause trouble here!"

Zhong Te shoved Hu Bingyang aside and walked straight toward Zhang Cheng.
