During the interrogation, Mad Donkey somehow obtained a steel wire used for tying steel bars and hid it in his mouth. He then took the opportunity to unlock his handcuffs and almost escaped.
Fortunately, he was apprehended by officers from the Xiping County Public Security Bureau who were on duty, which prevented a major incident.
The meeting room of the Public Security Bureau in Jinghai was brightly lit.
Meng Dehai's face was grim. He tapped his finger on the table and criticized sternly, "This is utterly disorganized and undisciplined! The bureau has already assigned people to take over, yet they still conduct a surprise interrogation at this crucial moment, treating our public security regulations as mere decorations. An Xin, do you think that Director An and I are Xu Jiang's protectors? So you're hiding this from us and conducting this surprise interrogation on your own?"
An Xin protested, "Uncle Meng, I... I didn't mean that. I was just thinking..."
“In the bureau, we just use your position,” Meng Dehai said, frowning.
"Yes, Director Meng!"
An Xin looked embarrassed and gave a sheepish salute.
Meng Dehai pondered for a moment and said, "An Xin is temporarily suspended from his post. Go back and recuperate. Also, write a self-criticism and submit it. Merit is merit, and demerit is demerit. Don't think that you can get special treatment just because you caught the mad donkey."
"yes!"
An Xin was extremely unwilling. He had finally managed to arrest Xu Jiang, but he himself was suspended from his post.
An Changlin seemed to want to say something, but seeing Meng Dehai's stern gaze, he ultimately remained silent.
That afternoon, after obtaining an arrest warrant for Xu Jiang, Captain Cao Chuang and Li Xiang led a team to arrest Xu Jiang, but unexpectedly, they found nothing.
Although Xu Jiang's villa was under 24-hour surveillance, he managed to slip away unnoticed.
Such a confidential matter was leaked.
Although An Xin was temporarily suspended from his duties, he still came to the bureau and, in front of many people, said loudly and emotionally, "Report! I suspect there is a mole in our bureau who leaked the information in advance. I suggest that the bureau immediately conduct an internal investigation and find out who the mole is!"
He had poured so much effort into this case, but unexpectedly, he was suspended at the most crucial moment.
The culprit, Xu Jiang, also escaped.
An Xin harbored resentment towards Meng Dehai. If Meng Dehai hadn't suspended him from his post, Xu Jiang certainly wouldn't have escaped from his grasp.
But as soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the entire police station froze.
An Changlin quickly stopped An Xin and told him to stop talking.
Meng Dehai frowned at An Xin and said, "Didn't we tell him to go back and be suspended from his duties for investigation? Who let him in?"
Zhang Biao said, "Reporting to Director Meng, An Xin is here to hand over his work."
"After the handover is complete, tell him to get lost. Why cause trouble at a time like this?"
Meng Dehai didn't even glance at An Xin. Looking at everyone in the bureau, he angrily said, "Without Zhang the butcher, are we still going to eat pork with hair on it? Forget about everything else, Xu Jiang isn't going anywhere. Issue a notice for assistance immediately and set up roadblocks at all major transportation routes in Jinghai. Let's see if he can still fly away then!"
When Meng Dehai got angry, no one else dared to speak.
An Xin was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Li Xiang and Zhang Biao pulled him away.
As An Xin left the police station, she remained agitated: "Why is he targeting me like this? Master, am I wrong? There must be a mole in the station. If we don't find him now, we'll never catch Xu Jiang!"
“Sigh, An Xin, why don’t you understand? Our political and legal system has already made quite a splash lately. If you start a self-examination at this time, aren’t you just making ourselves a target for others to attack?” Captain Cao Chuang said earnestly.
Zhang Biao added, "Yes, An Xin, your idea is too idealistic. Saying that will offend a lot of people. Yes, you can guarantee that the rest of us are innocent, but is everyone innocent? If a real investigation were conducted, most of us would end up in jail. Just think about how much people hate you for saying that."
With red eyes, An Xin said, "They deserved it. Shouldn't they be investigated for making mistakes?"
“This society isn’t black and white. Forget it, there’s no point in saying more. I’ll take you home to calm down. Don’t worry, Xu Jiang won’t get away, I promise!” Li Xiang said.
An Xin, filled with resentment, was forcibly pushed into the car and driven away by Li Xiang.
On the other hand, Gao Qilan only took one day off. The next morning, Tang Ping drove her to the train station.
Gao Qiqiang was about to go too, but Gao Qisheng stopped him, saying in a low voice, "Brother, are you stupid? It's not easy for Brother Ping and Xiaolan to have a chance to be alone, don't go and ruin the atmosphere."
"Uh, I was thinking of experiencing the joy of driving a car, but forget it, I'm not going," Gao Qiqiang said, scratching his head.
Throughout the journey, Tang Ping focused on driving.
Gao Qilan sat in the passenger seat, holding her schoolbag in both hands, looking around somewhat reservedly.
This was the first time she had ever ridden in such a high-end car, and the person driving her was Tang Ping.
Gao Qilan felt a little flustered as she stole glances at Tang Ping, who was driving intently. When Tang Ping looked at her, she quickly turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
"What's wrong? Are you carsick?" Tang Ping asked.
Gao Qilan blushed slightly and said, "No, no."
Tang Ping laughed and said, "Hehe, don't be nervous. Xiao Lan, you're almost a junior, right? I think you're studying medicine?"
Gao Qilan nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to study at a teacher's college, which is tuition-free, but my brother wouldn't allow it."
"Your brother is right, studying medicine is a good choice, it will be very useful in the future. By the way, how are you doing at school?"
"It's alright. I attend classes during the day, and in the evening I go to the audio-visual materials room to look up information, study on my own, or watch movies."
As the two chatted, Gao Qilan gradually relaxed.
She was the one talking, mostly about little things in her university life, like how there were eight people in her dorm, and how someone would talk in their sleep or grind their teeth at night, and how there were queues to get water from the bathhouse, shower, and wash clothes.
Tang Ping listened with great interest; this was the true spirit of youth.
Just as they reached the train station entrance and were about to board the train, Gao Qilan suddenly called out, "Brother Ping!"
Tang Ping turned his head, but Gao Qilan hugged him tightly. Her face was flushed, and she ran into the train station with her schoolbag in her arms.
Looking at Gao Qiqiang's pretty figure, Tang Ping was somewhat surprised, then shook his head and smiled, feeling a sudden pang of guilt, as if he had let Meng Yu down.
He's been having a lot of conversations with Meng Yuzheng lately, calling and texting each other until very late every night.
As an adult, how could he not see Gao Qilan's feelings? But isn't this too unfair to Meng Yu?
Forget it, go to hell.
So what if he's a scumbag? All I want in this life is to love as many women as possible and have a whole football team of kids.
He liked both Meng Yu and Gao Qilan; as an adult, he had no choice, and Tang Ping wanted them both.
With his burden lifted, Tang Ping stopped thinking too much and decided to take things one step at a time.
Upon returning, Tang Ping was immediately pulled away by Gao Qiqiang. After closing the door, Gao Qiqiang whispered, "Ping, I heard that Xu Jiang has run away!"
