"I, I..." Wu You was drenched in cold sweat. Recalling how he had snatched Ni Sitian's phone and hurled insults at her, he was trembling with fear and couldn't find any excuse to defend himself.

Zhang Peng wasn't particularly skilled, but he was good at reading the political climate. Seeing that this girl had offended Xu Tingchuan and his group, he immediately ordered his men to conduct a surprise inspection of her. After searching her, he pretended to find two illegal drugs in her pocket and ordered, "Take her back!"

Ni Sitian was dumbfounded. Was this how the police station framed people?

If it weren't Xu Tingchuan by her side today, wouldn't she be the one who was falsely accused and taken back?

"And her!" Zhang Peng pointed to Zhao Jiajia, who was still clutching her arm and crying in pain.

Jiang Yu shrank back in fear, ignoring Zhao Jiajia; he was in dire straits himself.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry." He walked up to Xu Tingchuan, trembling, and apologized, trying to absolve himself of all the blame by placing it all on Zhao Jiajia and Wu You.

"I can't accept Mr. Jiang's apology." Xu Tingchuan shook his head, took Ni Sitian's hand, and stood up. He walked up to Zhang Peng, gently patted Zhang Peng's shoulder, and said indifferently, "Deputy Director Zhang just asked where this bastard came from. Do I need to answer you where my grandfather is buried now?"

Zhang Peng was so frightened that his legs trembled and he shook his head repeatedly. How could he dare to let Xu Tingchuan answer this?

He knew perfectly well where Old Master Xu was buried; it was big news at the time, and he wasn't even qualified to meet the high-ranking people who came to pay their respects. Old Master Xu was draped in the national flag and buried in a national cemetery, a place where very few people are qualified to be buried.

"I misspoke. This foul mouth of yours, it really is a foul mouth." Deputy Director Zhang slapped himself hard with both hands, and his cheeks quickly swelled up like a pig's.

"Deputy Director Zhang, what are you doing?" Xu Tingchuan frowned.

"I, I... my hand cramped up." Zhang Peng slapped himself twice more, grinning lewdly, "Mr. Xu, that recording..."

If Xu Tingchuan were to hand this recording over to his superiors, his position as deputy director would be over. With Old Master Xu gone, Xu Haicheng was not someone anyone could afford to offend.

The Xu family's influence in Yihai City is deeply entrenched and difficult to shake; few families can rival them.

"You mean this? I think it's quite interesting. Keep it for now." Xu Tingchuan put one hand in his pocket and said casually, "You really need to teach your nephew a lesson, or he'll cause trouble sooner or later."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Zhang Peng nodded and bowed.

Xu Tingchuan looked down at Ni Sitian and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Ni Sitian nodded, took his hand, and together they walked past Zhang Peng and Jiang Yu toward the outside.

All eyes were on the two figures as they left.

After watching them walk away, Zhang Peng kicked Jiang Yu and said fiercely, "You bastard! Look what trouble you've caused me!"

Jiang Yu cried out in pain, clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground. "Uncle, who is he?"

"Xu Tingchuan." Zhang Pengyou uttered these three words with a sullen face.

Jiang Yu initially felt that he looked somewhat familiar, and then the name sounded even more familiar, but he didn't put the surname and given name together. Now, when he heard Zhang Peng say this, his mind suddenly cleared up as if struck by lightning: "Isn't that General Manager Xu from M&K!"

"He's Xu Haicheng's son and Xu Wannian's grandson!" Zhang Peng was still somewhat frightened when he said this. He was afraid that he had offended the Xu family after what happened today.
