"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
As Sun Yue said, he had indeed come up with a solution, but it was a little difficult to say it aloud.
"If you're relying on the Nangong family, then don't say anything more."
Seeing Du Wanzhe's embarrassed expression, Sun Yue almost forgot Du Wanzhe's identity. As a member of the Nangong family's collateral branch, he was also considered a member of the Nangong family. She knew about the conflict between Du Wanzhe and the Nangong family and knew that Du Wanzhe had no intention of asking the Nangong family for help. Before Du Wanzhe could even speak, Sun Yue spoke up.
"What Nangong family? That heartless and ungrateful family, I will never ask them for anything in my life."
Upon hearing that Sun Yue thought he had gone to the Nangong family for help, Du Wanzhe felt disgusted at the mention of that family and said to Sun Yue with disdain.
"Since it's not the Nangong family, I'd really like to know who, besides the four major families and Lu Fan, can stand up to the Dongfang Group. The Dongfang Group has become very powerful in recent years, and many people have to avoid its sharp edge."
Seeing Du Wanzhe's expression, Sun Yue knew that what she knew was true. She then let go of the doorknob and asked Du Wanzhe curiously.
"This is..."
Du Wanzhe then looked around and, finding no one nearby, whispered something in Sun Yue's ear.
"That's right! How could I forget that? They can indeed rival the Oriental Group."
After listening to Du Wanzhe's words, Sun Yue's expression suddenly changed to one of realization, and she nodded in agreement.
"But we can't talk to them at all. That's the most difficult thing."
After saying this, Du Wanzhe was afraid that Sun Yue would still feel bad if she knew and still couldn't do it.
"You continue the interrogation here. I will have someone guard the entrance for you. No one will be allowed in, and we will buy you as much time as possible. Remember, you must wait for me to come back. You absolutely cannot let anyone go."
Sun Yue quickly explained to Du Wanzhe that the people from the Oriental Group had arrived. She figured the director wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Looking at her watch, she thought she should still have time. After telling them, she hurriedly left.
Watching Sun Yue's departing figure, Du Wanzhe hoped in his heart that he could succeed, but this hope was also very faint. He took a breath and entered the interrogation room. Now his task was to quickly get useful information from Zhang Xinlei.
Sun Jiabao also received a call from Sun Yue, who gathered everyone together and blocked the only way to the interrogation room.
"Director He, we've been talking for quite a while now, can we take the person away now?"
Qu Tu watched as half an hour passed, and Director He, who was sitting opposite him, kept saying that the person was being brought over, but had not yet arrived. He understood that this old fox did not intend to hand over the person, and Qu Tu lost his patience. He asked Director He with some impatience in his tone.
"Young Master, Director, we have already reported this to your superiors. They are aware of the situation here. I'm sure you received the call. We need to take the person away as soon as possible."
Seeing that Qu Tu was somewhat agitated, the lawyer quickly restrained him and said to Director He with a smile.
"Indeed, the leader instructed us on this matter. You can take the person away, but you also need to follow our procedures. You should come to pick up the person first thing tomorrow morning. After all, the person was just arrested and many people have seen it. It hasn't even been three hours yet. If the police officers below see this, it will be difficult for me, the chief, to handle the situation."
Old He glanced at the time, feeling extremely anxious. He wondered how Sun Yue and Du Wanzhe were doing with the interrogation, but thinking that the other party was Old Qu's personal secretary, he knew they wouldn't talk so easily. He could only continue to stall and prevent them from taking the person away.
"We must take them away today!"
The lawyer listened to the bureau chief's words and thought they made sense, but he was just accompanying him. He looked at Qu Tu beside him and decided that it was up to the young master to decide what to do.
Seeing the lawyer looking at him, Qu Tu said to Lao He in front of him with some displeasure.
He thought that taking Zhang Xinlei back would solve everything, but he didn't expect that it would drag on for half an hour without being resolved, and he was really angry.
"Hmph, remember your place. I'm the police chief, and you're just the second son. Do you think you'd be respected if Qu Pu hadn't died? Don't try to put on airs in the police station! You're not qualified!"
Hearing Qu Tu's arrogant attitude, Lao He could no longer tolerate it and slammed his fist on the table, scolding Qu Tu.
"you!"
"Young Master, calm down. Don't forget what the Master told you to do."
Qu Tu lacked affection from a young age; everyone only saw his sheet music, and even his own father looked down on him. This is why he developed a tendency to fly into a rage whenever someone mentioned it. The lawyer, fearing Qu Tu would anger the other party—after all, this was a police station—quickly restrained Qu Tu to prevent him from getting into trouble.
"My father wants me to take Zhang Xinlei back today. What will it take for you to release her?"
Qu Tu, who was still angry, saw the lawyer give him a restrained look, then sit down and asked Lao He in a slightly more conciliatory tone.
“I didn’t want this to happen either. I was given orders from above to hand the person over to you. But there are so many eyes watching from top to bottom in the police station. Sun Yue brought the person back in a big way, and didn’t even lock him up for a night before releasing him. What am I supposed to do? Give me some ideas.”
Seeing that Qu Tu's attitude had softened, Lao He gave him a way out, deliberately acting embarrassed, and then threw the question back to Qu Tu.
"I'm going to call my father."
Qu Tu also felt that what the director said made some sense, so he took out his phone and spoke to the director.
“Father, I’m at the police station right now. The police chief says I have to wait until tomorrow morning to release him.”
Qu Tu first explained the situation, wanting to see what his father thought.
"Chief, my father wants you to take this call."
After listening to his father's words, he handed the phone to Lao He and said...
"Mr. Qu, it's been such a long time since we last contacted each other."
When Lao He answered the phone and heard that it really was Mr. Qu on the other end, he quickly greeted Mr. Qu with a smile.
"But my predicament is like this..."
Old He quickly repeated what he had just told Qu Tu to Old Qu on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, as long as you can get the provincial department director to give me the order, I will release Zhang Xinlei immediately."
Upon hearing Mr. Qu's solution, Mr. He readily agreed.
"Then I'll wait for your news."
Knowing that Zhang Xinlei couldn't be kept, they could only try to stall for time and let them call the provincial department. By the time they received the message, half an hour had passed.
Then, smiling, he said to Mr. Qu on the other end of the phone.
