Li Yuanyuan's heart sank suddenly, and anxiety instantly filled her beautiful eyes.
"What else did he say?"
"He said he would tell Director Zhao and Inspector Tong everything, exactly as it happened. Oh, and he also..."
"Mr. Liu, I can't thank you enough!"
Li Yuanyuan decisively interrupted him, her expression regaining its composure and resolve, "When Zhang Cheng returns, I'll have him personally come to thank you!"
"You're too kind, you're too kind!"
Li Yuanyuan turned around, opened the car door, and said decisively to Feng Yingchun in the driver's seat, "To Nanyang Street Police Station!"
"Okay, sis!"
A dozen minutes later, Li Yuanyuan came out of the police station and drove straight to the procuratorate.
After she left, Zhao Daming rushed out of the office with a solemn expression, hopped on his old motorcycle, twisted the throttle to the floor, and roared off toward the municipal building.
Outside the municipal building, Zhao Daming waited anxiously for nearly half an hour before finally meeting Secretary Liu, the Party Secretary of Funing City.
Inside the office.
Secretary Liu, wearing black-rimmed glasses, looked at his somewhat uneasy subordinate with a smile.
Because of the incident where Zhong Te was photographed last time, he had a good impression of Zhao Daming and felt that he was someone he could control.
"Little Zhao, what's the rush? What's so important that you need to see me now?"
Zhao Daming suppressed his nervousness and spoke in a deep voice.
"Secretary Liu, Zhang Cheng... has been arrested in Jiaxing."
It's Zhang Cheng again!
Secretary Liu's brows furrowed involuntarily, and he cursed inwardly, "This guy is such a troublemaker. Every time I hear his name, nothing good ever comes of it."
“The Jiaxing police have their reasons for arresting him. Zhang Cheng committed a crime in Jiaxing, so Jiaxing should handle it.”
The smile on Secretary Liu's face faded, and his tone became businesslike.
"You're a veteran police officer, how come you can't keep your composure even with something as simple as this?"
A businessman was arrested by police from another region, and you, a local police station chief, were stupid enough to come directly to the municipal party secretary.
Secretary Liu felt that Zhao Daming was a bit unaware of his own importance.
“Secretary Liu, Zhang Cheng is, after all, a major taxpayer in Funing, and…”
"Alright."
Secretary Liu slightly raised his hand, interrupting him, and his voice deepened.
"Zhao Daming, if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
Seeing that Secretary Liu had given the order to leave, Zhao Daming broke out in a sweat. He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a huge decision.
"Secretary Liu, before coming here, Zhang Cheng asked someone to pass on a message."
He paused, carefully choosing his words.
"He asked me to remind you that Miss Liu is studying in Shanghai and is alone, so she should be extra careful about her safety."
The moment the words left his mouth, the air in the office froze.
Secretary Liu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared intently at Zhao Daming, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour him.
He slowly stood up, placed his hands on the desk, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Zhao Daming, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you using the words of a businessman to threaten me, the municipal party secretary?"
"Secretary Liu! Please calm down! Please calm down!"
Zhao Daming was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, his neck shrinking back like a quail.
"Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare! Secretary Liu, please let me explain, I really didn't mean it that way!"
"Fine!" Secretary Liu laughed angrily. "I'd like to hear what else you have to say! If you can't explain yourself clearly today, you can go and guard the traffic police station!"
He also felt that Zhao Daming didn't have the guts, but the name Zhang Cheng made him wary.
"Secretary Liu, Zhang Cheng's original words were not this..."
Zhao Daming said with a bitter face, "He just said that he heard... Miss Liu seems to have started dating someone else in Shanghai."
"Um?"
Secretary Liu was stunned.
He has already given his approval to his daughter Liu Miaomiao's relationship with Zhong Te, and they are almost at the point of discussing marriage.
If at this time, my daughter is two-timing me in Shanghai...
Where does he put his face as a father, and the face of the Liu family of Funing?
No, things are not that simple.
A person like Zhang Cheng wouldn't do something just to spread gossip.
Secretary Liu narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart was quickly replaced by a deeper coldness.
He re-examined Zhao Daming, who was covered in sweat, and then, without saying anything more, picked up the red phone on his desk and dialed the number of the Academic Affairs Office of the Department of Finance at Fudan University in Shanghai.
The call was answered quickly.
Secretary Liu's face broke into a hearty smile again, and his enthusiastic tone made Zhao Daming, who was standing to the side, secretly startled.
"Director Zhou! I am Liu Miaomiao's father!"
"Yes, yes, I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't had a chance to call you! My Miaomiao is at school, I hope she hasn't caused you any trouble?"
"Haha, that's good, that's good! It's all thanks to Director Zhou and your excellent guidance!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Secretary Liu changed the subject.
"Director Zhou, I happen to have some free time. It's been a long time since I spoke to my daughter. Would it be convenient for her to come and answer the phone?"
"Okay, okay, that would be too much trouble for you! I'll wait!"
The moment he hung up the phone, the smile on Secretary Liu's face vanished without a trace, leaving only a gloomy and solemn expression.
He didn't look at Zhao Daming, but just sat there quietly, waiting for the phone to ring again.
The office was deathly silent.
