At this point, Yuan Linan dared not draw any conclusions easily.
The situation here has already alarmed the higher-ups.
Many newspapers have already started reporting on it, and leaders are also paying attention.
He would rather arrest the wrong person than let anyone go free.
Even if Xu Xiangyang is truly innocent, he can simply apologize in the end; after all, he was thinking of the bigger picture.
If Xu Xiangyang doesn't know what's good for him, then he truly lacks any moral awareness.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang felt sore all over.
He didn't dare to go into the space to sleep after a whole night. He had discovered yesterday that someone was watching him, but he didn't know if they had been watching him all night.
To be on the safe side, he did not enter the space.
It's always good to be cautious; if someone discovers anything, he'll be completely finished.
Move your body a bit, then walk around the house.
Luckily, he was young; otherwise, most people wouldn't have been able to withstand such an ordeal overnight.
They really can do whatever they want because they're young. It's so great to be young!
Before he could even finish his exclamation, more food was delivered to the door.
There was still cornbread and a pot of water; the empty bowl and the pot had been taken away.
Xu Xiangyang clicked his tongue in disapproval as he looked at the harsh conditions.
I ate a piece of bread yesterday, so it looks like I'll have to eat something different today.
He pretended to be eating cornbread, but actually he was chewing on bread. He really had it tough.
At that moment, the outside door was opened.
He turned around and saw that it was still Captain Zhang.
The man had a cold expression. After walking over, he sat down in the chair opposite him.
"Have you finished eating?" he asked casually.
Xu Xiangyang put down the remaining half of the cornbread and said, "We can talk first."
It's been almost a day, and keeping him locked up like this isn't a good idea, so he figured it was time to come.
Captain Zhang glanced at his calm demeanor, frowned slightly, and then said, "Some people say you're involved in black market poaching. Do you admit it?"
That's a good question.
That's the reality, who can admit it?
Xu Xiangyang shook his head and then asked, "Captain Zhang, I want to ask, who framed me like this? This is a distortion of the facts! How could a law-abiding person like me do such a thing? This is a frame-up!"
He looked very angry, as if he would eat the person alive if he found out who it was.
However, Captain Zhang obviously didn't believe it. He had been doing this for more than two years. What kind of people hadn't he seen?
He dared not easily trust Xu Xiangyang, especially.
She's so talented at such a young age, who knows if she'd be just as good at anything else?
His subsequent questions were also pointless; they were clearly just casual inquiries.
However, Xu Xiangyang will not let his guard down.
He clearly heard the footsteps of two people walking towards him. Now that Captain Zhang has come in alone, it means that there are other people listening next door or at the door.
If he says anything inappropriate, he will easily be suspected.
Of course, he is now the one being suspected.
After a while, Captain Zhang got up and left, and after closing the door, the sound of the door closing was clearly heard again.
Then came the sound of two footsteps leaving, confirming that they hadn't come alone.
Xu Xiangyang waited patiently, and after about five minutes, he went to the wall to observe.
Sure enough, there were two small holes in the wall, through which one could clearly see the room opposite.
There's no one here now, so someone must have been observing him before.
Fortunately, he didn't give himself away, otherwise he really didn't know what the consequences would have been.
...
Liao Shichang sat in the chair with a somewhat unpleasant expression, his hands crossed and folded together, his two thumbs twirling back and forth, a testament to his unease.
A short while later, the office door was opened.
Yuan Shuji walked in calmly, and was not surprised to see him. He simply sat down next to him.
"Chief Liao, have you been waiting long? Is there something you need?" He sat down and looked at the person opposite him with a deep gaze.
The emotions in his eyes were unreadable, yet there was a sense of disdain in them.
A dark glint flashed in Liao Shichang's eyes, but he said calmly, "I heard you arrested Xu Xiangyang? Our factory is very busy right now. It's been a day already, so if there's nothing else, just release him."
He found out about this yesterday afternoon; Guan Qilin called him.
He had just finished a meeting, and it was because of these things in the new city that he was going back and forth.
Moreover, Yuan Linan was with him at the time, but unexpectedly, they arrested him without saying a word.
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Linan smiled, as if mocking him for boasting.
"Chief Liao, isn't this inappropriate? Are you trying to teach me how to handle things?" His tone was unfriendly, even aggressive.
Because of the significant gap between the two, Liao Shizhang didn't dare to say anything harsh.
"I wouldn't dare say that, but Yuan Shuji should know that our factory is just starting out. Besides, you should know very well whether Director Xu has any problems or not." He suppressed his anger and spoke calmly.
Yuan Linan sneered but remained silent. He knew, of course, that Xu Xiangyang had no problem at all.
But since this wave has happened, and someone is hugging and lifting him up, then an investigation is necessary.
Better to arrest the wrong person than let one go free.
However, after investigation, Xu Xiangyang was indeed found to have no problems.
"Go back and wait," he said coolly. "Whether it's true or not, that's for us to investigate. You should just go back to your post."
Liao Shi pursed his lips, said nothing more, and got up to leave.
This is the most he can do.
Just like people say, and it just so happens to be a tense time.
He had no choice but to go back first.
Meanwhile, on Xu Xiangyang's side, as it was getting dark, more people finally arrived.
Captain Zhang looked him up and down, then said, "Let's go."
Can we go out now?
Xu Xiangyang stood up and then followed him out.
The sun had already set outside, and a cool breeze was blowing. He felt that he smelled bad.
"Be more careful next time!" Captain Zhang gave him a malicious look, then turned and left.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, left the place and hurried home.
He didn't know if anyone was following him, but getting home as soon as possible was the right thing to do.
Almost two days have passed, and he still doesn't know what the situation is like at home.
When he arrived at his doorstep, he saw that all the lights inside the house were on, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the courtyard was sitting on benches, and no one's face was free of worry.
They knew Xu Xiangyang had been arrested, but it was no use; they could only watch helplessly.
Wang Zhongshan had no choice but to approach his old superior, but from what he said, Xu Xiangyang's matter was currently at a critical juncture, so it was impossible for him to be released easily.
However, what we do know is that if the investigation concludes and Xu Xiangyang is found to be innocent, he will be released and sent home.
Now, all they can do is wait quietly.
I just hope, I really hope Xu Xiangyang can come back soon!
