The school leaders were completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Kang Cheng rushed in, furious, and questioned the school leaders why they hadn't resolved the issue yet. He said that since his father was the vice mayor, if they couldn't resolve it, then they would have to let his father step in.

He immediately called his father, but the call couldn't get through.

This is his dad's public cell phone. As the deputy mayor, his dad can't possibly turn it off 24/7.

Kang Cheng was unaware that his father was currently in dire straits.

It all started with Xiaoxi.

Yesterday, after Xiao Xizi left a voice message for Yan Weimin at the police station, Yan Weimin, despite his busy schedule, took the message very seriously.

Before he even returned to China, he had already sent his capable subordinates, who were stationed in the country, to form a disciplinary inspection team to immediately go to Shanghai and investigate the matter of Vice Mayor Kang's paintings.

The working group was established late last night and arrived in Shanghai this morning.

Vice Mayor Kang didn't sleep well last night. All morning, his right eye twitched and his left eye twitched. He went to his office and made himself a strong cup of tea.

For half the morning, the office was unusually quiet; no one came in.

This tranquility is abnormal, like the eeriness before a storm.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his office door, and he had a premonition: They're here!

His immediate superior, Mayor Zhang, appeared solemnly at the door.

"Old Kang, what exactly did you do? The disciplinary inspection team from above has arrived and specifically requested to investigate you! Come with me to the meeting room immediately!"

The new teacup in Vice Mayor Kang's hand slammed onto the table with a loud crash, spilling strong tea all over the table and soaking his trousers.

He seemed oblivious to his disheveled state and followed Mayor Zhang into the conference room.

He saw Xu Hai, the supervisory commissioner of the discipline inspection team, who was a capable subordinate of Secretary Yan, as well as several other familiar faces.

When we went to Beijing for a meeting at the beginning of the year, we discussed our work. So why did we end up investigating him?

What surprised him even more was that the young girl who had barged into his office yesterday was sitting next to Xu Hai in a formal suit.

The chief of the police station's first precinct was also present.

Everyone watched his disheveled appearance with his pants soaked.

Inspector Xu Hai spoke first, "Kang Da, you should know what mistake you made? Why did we come here specifically to investigate?"

Vice Mayor Kang was very alarmed, but he thought to himself that he had not done anything illegal or disorderly and had always been conscientious and diligent.

Inspector Xu Hai then asked the mayor, "Mayor Zhang, I'd like to ask you, who is in charge of the follow-up work regarding the Yao Tai incident?"

Mayor Zhang was sweating profusely. "I didn't ask about this work or get involved in it. I handed it over to Vice Mayor Kang. It was my fault for not doing my job properly."

He didn't pass the buck; he did hand it over to Kangda. However, trusting his subordinates, he didn't inquire about these matters further.

Xu Hai: "Kangda, you should know this person. She is Comrade Ye Xiaoxi, the head of the secret department specially appointed by Secretary Yan. You have repeatedly failed to cooperate with her work, causing huge losses."

Vice Mayor Kang calmed down. This young girl really has incredible ability to bring over such a huge flag. I haven't made any major mistakes, what huge losses? What a joke.

Xu Hai said sternly, "It seems that Vice Mayor Kang is unaware of the seriousness of the matter."

He instructed his men to turn on the projector in the conference room and display information about the demons and monsters that had appeared in the world over the past year or two and the harm they had caused.

Among them are Xiaoxi's achievements in slaying demons.

The screen shows the underground kitchen of Yao Tai's villa, piled high with corpses.

Mayor Zhang and Vice Mayor Kang then truly realized the seriousness of the situation and were amazed: No wonder the young girl was able to serve as the head of a secret department.

Vice Mayor Kang said dejectedly, "I made a mistake. I embezzled Yao Taiyi's box of New Year pictures. Today, I will have my son hand them all over."
