After hearing this, Lu Yu's originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy, just like the depressing sky before a storm.
His lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to refute the other party's words immediately.
Qin Wan keenly sensed his impending outburst of emotions, and without hesitation she stretched out a hand and gently placed it on his arm.
This touch seemed to carry an invisible force, which instantly calmed the anger in his heart. He glanced at Qin Wan, and Qin Wan shook his head at him, implying that he should not act impulsively.
Then, Qin Wan walked in front of everyone and said sternly:
"If this inspection was truly based on normal and reasonable procedures, I wouldn't have the slightest objection to it. But is this the case?
The world is complex and complex these days, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I have to be wary of those with ulterior motives, worried that someone might exploit the opportunity presented by the inspection to deliberately frame me. After all, such incidents are not unheard of.
However, since my man has returned and Captain Hua happens to be here, I would now dare to ask them to accompany Secretary Wang to search my house.
But before the search, I also want to put forward a condition.
If those so-called illegal items are really found in my home, there is no need for you to do anything yourself. Lu Yu and I will definitely accept the most severe punishment of the law willingly and without any complaints.
However, if after a thorough search no trace of prohibited items is found, I would like Director Wang and Ms. Liu to give me a clear explanation."
Qin Wan's words were righteous and clear, making it difficult to refute them for a while.
Secretary Wang coughed awkwardly twice and said timidly, "Of course, of course."
However, at this moment, Liu Yingmei, who had been standing aside silently, suddenly became like a powder keg that had been lit, and instantly became furious.
Her eyes were wide open, her face was full of anger, she took a big step forward, pointed a finger directly at Qin Wan, and shouted:
"Humph! Whether there's anything illegal or not, we can find out clearly with just a simple investigation. Why waste all that nonsense? What else do you want?"
In reality, Liu Yingmei's heart was in turmoil at the moment—up and down, with absolutely no confidence or assurance. But facing Qin Wan's unwavering and unflinching attitude, she didn't dare to make any promises or guarantees easily.
After seeing Liu Yingmei's intense reaction, Qin Wan seemed unusually calm and composed, without any sign of panic.
She pursed her lips slightly and responded calmly:
"If you don't have evidence and procedures, what right do you have to search my house?
If you have evidence, you will definitely be able to find out the illegal items. Are you still afraid to make a promise to us?
If you falsely accuse innocent people without any basis or reason, and then refuse to offer them even a single word of explanation, then I ask, how is your behavior any different from that of a robber? Is there no fairness, justice, or reason in this world anymore?
Having said that, Qin Wan paused for a moment, staring intently at Liu Yingmei, and continued:
"What's more, you're forcibly breaking into my home and searching it based solely on your own one-sided account, and I can't even ask for a reasonable explanation. Is there any law and justice in this world?"
Liu Yingmei was speechless after hearing what Qin Wan said, but she did not admit defeat. Instead, she rushed towards Qin Wan with her hand raised, and said with a specious argument:
"Since someone reported it, they should search it. There's no reasoning behind this."
Qin Wan grabbed Liu Yingmei's palm and swung it hard, throwing Liu Yingmei ten meters away, and then said:
"If the relevant departments are forced to conduct an unconditional search upon reporting, then I am reporting it now under my real name. Liu Yingmei is a spy. She has an enemy radio transmitter hidden in her home, along with another enemy agent. Secretary Wang, search the area immediately. If you don't, I will report you under my real name for harboring enemy agents and colluding with foreign countries."
If Hua Shilei couldn't figure out what was going on at this point, all his years as the group leader would have been in vain.
This incident was caused by my own wife.
At this time, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He turned around and bowed to Qin Wan, saying "I'm sorry", then walked up to Liu Yingmei, slapped her in the face, and then reached out and grabbed Liu Yingmei's hair and dragged her home.
After Liu Yingmei left, Secretary Wang stood there with an awkward smile on his face. He explained to Deputy Brigade Commander Lu awkwardly:
"Deputy Brigade Commander Lu, I'm so sorry. I really didn't want to come here at first, but you know, Sister Liu insisted that I come along, and I really couldn't refuse..."
Everyone present knew the reason clearly. Seeing this, Lu Yu didn't criticize Secretary Wang too much, but just smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care about the matter.
However, Aunt Yu on the side could not stand it any longer. She put her hands on her hips and said righteously:
"Xiao Wang, don't put all the blame on Liu Yingmei! If you're determined not to come, is she really going to drag you here? If she has the final say on everything, what's the point of having you as an official?"
At this moment, Political Commissar Xu had just finished a busy day of work and was about to go home. When he passed by here, he happened to hear Aunt Yu's righteous words.
Political Commissar Xu couldn't help but stop and gave Aunt Yu a thumbs-up with an appreciative look on his face, and echoed:
"This lady is absolutely right! As the saying goes, 'Do your job when you're in it!' Since we're in this position, we have to do our job conscientiously and do our part. Secretary Wang, you really didn't handle this matter properly this time!"
Wang Gan first glanced at Lu Yu with a slightly nervous look, then turned his gaze to Qin Wan beside him, his eyes flickering.
Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, he seemed to understand something in an instant. He walked quickly towards Qin Wan, stopped, and bowed deeply and respectfully. He bowed to Qin Wan solemnly at an almost ninety-degree angle and said sincerely:
"Sister-in-law, this time it's all my fault. I was too soft-hearted and cowardly. When faced with problems, I just retreated and ran away. I didn't even dare to stand firm for the position I should have stood for. I am so ashamed!
Sister-in-law, please forgive me for my magnanimity. From now on, I promise I will never make such a stupid mistake again!
