Gao Datong glanced at Liu Zhongren, who had a complicated expression, while his mind was in turmoil.

Who exactly started this upheaval in Jiaxing? Don't you have any idea?

"Zhang Cheng!"

The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and the rapid sound of high heels hitting the floor could be heard.

Li Yuanyuan rushed in, her usually stunningly beautiful face now filled with panic and anxiety.

Why are you here?

Zhang Cheng lay on the bed, looking at Li Yuanyuan who had rushed to the bedside with her eyes instantly reddening, and helplessly gave Zhao Daming and Liu Zhongren a look.

really.

A hint of schadenfreude, as if watching a good show, was simultaneously revealed in the eyes of Zhao Daming and Liu Zhongren.

Gao Datong, on the other hand, frowned and scrutinized the beautiful woman who had suddenly barged in with sharp eyes.

"Zhang Cheng, are you alright?"

Ignoring those around her, Li Yuanyuan squatted down, stretched out her soft, boneless, fair hands, and tightly grasped Zhang Cheng's hand.

Zhang Cheng tried smoking it.

No twitching.

He really has no strength left.

"I'm telling you, don't take advantage of me, okay?" Zhang Cheng said sternly, his voice devoid of warmth.

"I didn't take advantage of you! I was just concerned about you!" Li Yuanyuan's eyes welled up with tears, her voice sounding aggrieved and pitiful.

"I've been shot and need to rest."

Zhang Cheng's implication was crystal clear.

However, Li Yuanyuan seemed not to understand, and instead held his hand even tighter, her voice so soft it could melt water: "Are you hungry now?"

"Hungry!"

"How about I send someone to buy you a bowl of plain porridge?"

"Not very good!"

"Then...then I'll go and cook you some porridge myself!"

Zhang Cheng looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly uttered a single word: "Okay."

Li Yuanyuan immediately pouted in anger, complaining with a full sense of grievance, "Zhang Cheng, can't you be nicer to me?"

Zhang Cheng's gaze was calm and serene as he looked at her.

"Sis, why should I be nicer to you?"

“I am a married man with a wife.”

"If I treat you well, what will others think of me? What will my wife think?"

His voice was soft, yet it was like an invisible wall, instantly pushing the distance between the two of them to a thousand miles.

Gao Datong watched from the side, blinking in disbelief, and cursed inwardly: "A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man!"

But he was even more shocked by Zhang Cheng's cold-bloodedness. Faced with such a stunning beauty throwing herself into his arms, she could refuse so decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Brother Zhang, I...I'll go back to the station to check on the situation!"

Gao Datong felt the atmosphere in the ward was really strange, so he made an excuse to slip away.

"Brother Gao, be careful."

"Don't worry!" Gao Datong forced a smile. "Just focus on recovering. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

He greeted everyone and then quickly walked out of the ward.

As soon as he stepped outside, Gao Datong's face darkened instantly.

Outside the ward, six police officers were on guard. They let a woman of unknown origin in so easily without even announcing her presence!

He suppressed his anger and coldly asked one of the policemen, "Why did you let that woman in just now?"

"Director Gao... Director Gao, that girl said she's from the Funing County Chamber of Commerce and is friends with Zhang Cheng..." The policeman's voice trailed off.

Gao Datong shook his head almost imperceptibly, his voice carrying a warning: "Next time anyone comes to visit, they must first go in and ask Zhang Cheng himself!"

"Yes, Director Gao!"

...

At the same time, the Jiaxing Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Inside the interrogation room, Feng Sanyao was handcuffed to an iron chair.

He never imagined that when he voluntarily came to the police station to confront Huang Pinyu and find out who was behind it all, he was arrested the moment he stepped through the door.

"Feng Sanyao, now that we've arrested you, we naturally have enough evidence. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Otherwise, you can expect to rot in jail!"

The police officer's voice was cold during the interrogation.

Feng Sanyao kept his head down and remained silent, but his clenched fists and violently heaving chest betrayed his inner anger and despair.

No need to guess anymore.

It must be that idiot Huang Pinyu! He spilled everything!

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

An investigation team of eight people from the province arrived in Jiaxing.

When they received the case summary report compiled overnight, everyone was stunned.

Several shootings.

The head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau was shot dead on the spot by the deputy director in the interrogation room.

The former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee jumped from the top floor of the municipal building and died on the spot.

The members of the investigation team looked at each other, feeling as if Jiaxing beneath their feet was not a city, but a powder keg that had just exploded.

These earth-shattering cases have made Zhang Cheng's case seem insignificant.

Furthermore, Funing County had already submitted complete application materials for the appointment, and the investigation team had no intention of creating any further complications involving a "minor figure."

The officialdom in Jiaxing is destined to undergo a major purge from top to bottom.

After resting in the hospital for two days, Zhang Cheng asked Zhao Daming to contact Funing County People's Hospital to prepare for a transfer.

During this time, Zhang Tian came once and told him in a low voice that the people sent by Jiang Yuhong had quietly arrived in Jiaxing.

Given the current unstable situation in Jiaxing, they dare not act rashly.

But Zhang Tian's words were full of excitement. As soon as Jiang Yuhong's funds arrived, most of the gray industries in Jiaxing would change hands.

At that time, a new "underground emperor" will be born in Jiaxing.
