Her fingers suddenly clenched, and she lowered her head to hide the ruthlessness in her eyes.
She had heard of the security department's "reputation" in her past life.
They kill without blinking an eye, committing wrongful convictions.
Qiao Wanyue looked up at the piece of paper in front of her. If she didn't sign it today, she and Secretary Guo wouldn't be able to leave this room.
If you sign it.
They couldn't get out either.

Xiahe Village
"Pay back! Pay back our hard-earned money, Qiao Wanyue!"
A large crowd stood in front of the Lu family's house, shouting for Qiao Wanyue to compensate them for their hard-earned money.
Lu Rong stood at the door, covered in vegetable leaves.
Her face was full of worry. After learning that Wanyue had been taken away by the security department, she began to inquire about the news everywhere. But she didn't know where the villagers had heard the news that Wanyue and Secretary Guo had quoted high prices for dried vegetables and profited from it.
The villagers immediately launched an uprising.
When the brigade leader arrived, the villagers had almost smashed down the Lu family's door.
He stood at the Lu family's door with a stern face, "What do you want?"
The loudest shout came from a young man: "Captain, Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo deliberately quoted a high price for dried vegetables, making her lose money!"
"Yes, make Qiao Wanyue pay compensation."
"Pay back money."
The captain frowned as he looked at the young man in front of him.
"You're not from our village, are you?"
The young man was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, Yang Dongliang was still able to make rational judgments at such a critical moment.
Ignoring Yang Dongliang's words, he continued to incite the villagers, "Down with Yang Dongliang! Down with the reactionaries! They are all enemies of us farmers! Yang Dongliang is part of Qiao Wanyue's gang! Down with Yang Dongliang!"
The villagers shouted mindlessly, "Down with Yang Dongliang..."
Wait, the name Yang Dongliang sounds so familiar.
Everyone paused.
Isn't Yang Dongliang the brigade leader?
Everyone was used to calling him the brigade leader and had long forgotten that the brigade leader's real name was Yang Dongliang.
The captain coldly watched the young man, who, after being spotted, slipped into the crowd.
He knows almost all the young men in the village.
"Where are you going?"
He grabbed the young man, saying, "If you're not trying to beat me up, why are you hiding?"
The captain's voice turned cold, "Boss Lu, come out here."
The door to the Lu family's house opened, and Lu Rong and Lu Yunqi stood in the doorway.
"Take him to the headquarters."
The young man struggled to be knocked down, and the captain slapped him across the face.
Brother Lu, with a stern face, grabbed the young man by the collar. The young man refused to admit defeat and opened his mouth to shout, but Lu Yunqi simply took off his own shoe and stuffed it into his mouth. The young man mumbled as he was dragged away.
The captain coldly watched the troublemakers.
Half of them are not from Xiahe Village.
The other half were people who didn't buy any groceries at all.
The one with a red face and a thick neck was Qi Huai. He tried to sneak away when he saw the captain, but the sharp-eyed captain spotted him, arrested him, tied him up, and threw him into the headquarters.
There was nothing he didn't understand.
It's clearly aimed at Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo.
Before things were even settled here, Yang Miaomiao rode over on her bike, drenched in sweat.
"Dad, what are you still doing here?"
"Miaomiao, didn't I tell you to go to the state-owned factory to find Minister Xu and Xu Xinyue?"
Yang Miaomiao didn't even have time to stop the car before jumping out and throwing it to the side of the road. She hurriedly ran over and pulled the team leader aside. "When I went to the state-owned factory, I saw Qiao Sheng and a few other people from the team go there. They weren't looking for Minister Xu. I overheard a couple of sentences while they were looking for Aunt Xu. They were talking about the dried vegetable business."
The captain raised an eyebrow.
