Shock, tension, and panic overwhelmed Li Du.
Li Du's facial expression was quite interesting, which really made him uneasy.
"Mrs. Joe, what brings you here?"
Once he realized what was happening, Li Du forced a smile, his attitude undergoing a complete 360-degree change.
Fang Yuehua's face was grave, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"Director Li, you are really impressive. I have to step aside."
"No, no, no, Mrs. Qiao, please don't misunderstand."
"I just misspoke, I didn't mean to offend anyone," Li Du quickly explained.
Although Fang Yuehua did not hold any official position, Li Du did not dare to neglect her duties.
Fang Yuehua was too lazy to pursue the matter with Li Du.
After all, her husband was in grave danger, and the most urgent task was to rescue Ye Chen.
"Please have a seat, Mrs. Qiao," Li Du said with a smile.
Fang Yuehua sat down in a chair, and Li Du quickly brought her a cup of tea.
"Mrs. Qiao, is there anything I can do for you so late?"
"Director Li, I heard that you arrested a young man named Ye Chen."
Fang Yuehua's face was grave as she looked at Li Du.
Li Du immediately smiled and said, "That's true."
"I wonder what he did wrong?" Fang Yuehua said in a heavy tone.
Fang Yuehua came to the police station late at night to ask him about Ye Chen, which indeed puzzled Li Du.
He was trying to figure out Fang Yuehua's purpose.
"Mrs. Qiao, is it because you have a conflict with this Ye Chen?"
Li Du smiled, his eyes observing the other person's facial reaction.
Fang Yuehua nodded without much thought.
After all, she had suspected Ye Chen yesterday, and some unpleasant things did happen during that time.
When Li Du saw Fang Yuehua nod, the smile in his eyes vanished in an instant.
Now Li Du believed he knew Fang Yuehua's purpose.
Fang Yuehua came personally after learning that Ye Chen had just been arrested that day.
In addition, a conflict occurred between Ye Chen and Fang Yuehua.
Therefore, Li Du concluded that Fang Yuehua wanted to teach Ye Chen a lesson.
Thinking about this, Li Du smiled, deciding what he should do.
Li Du hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so bold.
Not only did they offend the Azure Dragon Hall, but they also offended Fang Yuehua. They're practically asking for trouble.
Both for personal and professional reasons, Li Du felt he should help Fang Yuehua with this favor.
Fang Yuehua's happiness is also beneficial to him.
"Ye Chen intentionally injured others, damaged other people's property, broke into private residences, and extorted money."
Li Du reported to Fang Yuehua in detail.
"Ye Chen is lawless and audacious, and the crimes he has committed are too numerous to count."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Qiao, I will make him suffer terribly."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuehua immediately became restless.
She glared at Li Du, her angry eyes seeming to burn him to ashes.
If Ye Chen is in unbearable pain, then her husband is doomed.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuehua went straight up and threw a big punch.
"Slap!" A loud slap rang out immediately.
Li Du was slapped hard on the left cheek, leaving him completely stunned.
A bright red handprint immediately appeared on his face, and a burning pain kept coming.
Li Du looked at Fang Yuehua with disbelief.
"Mrs. Qiao, why did you hit me?" Li Du asked, bewildered.
Fang Yuehua snorted coldly, "You still don't know where you went wrong?"
“Mrs. Qiao, I truly do not know,” Li Du said in a deep voice.
"Li Du, you have some nerve to arrest Ye Chen."
"You'd better release Ye Chen tonight, or you'll regret it!"
Fang Yuehua glared at Li Du, her words carrying a warning.
"Huh?!" Li Du was taken aback and looked at Fang Yuehua in disbelief.
"Mrs. Qiao, you...you're not mistaken, are you?"
"Li Du, I'll only give you ten minutes."
"If you don't bring Ye Chen here for me, your time as director is over."
Fang Yuehua snorted coldly, her words uttered with an unquestionable air.
"Whoosh—" Li Du's face changed drastically upon hearing this, turning deathly pale.
Li Du never expected that Fang Yuehua had come to save Ye Chen.
Just now, he had told Fang Yuehua that Ye Chen's crimes were too numerous to count.
Although Fang Yuehua did not hold any official position, her husband wielded considerable power.
It would be incredibly easy for Fang Yuehua to take down Li Du.
Fang Yuehua wants to save Ye Chen, there must be something she doesn't know about it.
Suddenly, Li Du's heart skipped a beat.
He had a bad feeling.
Ye Chen must be someone important, not as simple as he seems. I've really messed up.
If he had known earlier, he definitely wouldn't have arrested Ye Chen.
Although the Azure Dragon Hall is quite powerful, it is no match for Qiao Wangu.
Qiao Wangu was in charge of the judicial and police departments in Jingzhou, and also served as the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
The Azure Dragon Hall is no match for Qiao Wangu.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring them here!" Fang Yuehua scolded.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Li Du didn't dare to delay and quickly ran out of the office.
Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Ye Chen sat calmly and composed.
"Kid, you're pretty calm, I wonder if you're faking it."
A man sneered, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen.
"Of course he was faking it."
"The process is now complete, and he will be thrown into prison soon."
"Kid, why did you have to provoke someone you can't afford to mess with?"
"It's foolish for an egg to try and break a rock."
"I think you're the fools," Ye Chen sneered.
