Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Fan. May I know what brings you here? Any questions you need to ask me?"

Yang Fan feigned ignorance.

"He didn't tell you just now?"

Director Ni pointed at Zhu Qianlong on the side and said coldly, "Everyone's time is precious, let's not play dumb!"

"Ah? This... I've only heard about it, but haven't had the chance to look into it in detail. Perhaps..."

"Enough, I don't want to waste more time with you. I just want to know when you'll release the person I'm asking for!"

Director Ni slammed the table and demanded, "Those people must appear in front of me right now, immediately, Yang Fan. Do you understand what I'm saying to you?"

"I... I'll go right now..."

Yang Fan murmured with a ghastly expression.

Zhu Qianlong thought to himself, if Old Yang leaves now, won't I be the one to face the fury!

No, no!

I don't know anything!

I don't want to be scolded!

"I'll go. After all, Yang Fan is in charge of this case. He at least knows a bit, whereas I'm completely in the dark. If you ask me, I might not be able to give a satisfactory answer."

Incredulity filled Yang Fan's eyes.

Has Old Zhu gone mad?!!

Are you trying to screw me over?!!

It's obvious I could have stepped out for a breath and thought about how to answer the questions, but no, you had to keep me here with just one sentence!

You're not being fair at all!

You look like a good guy with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, but in reality, you're nothing but a sly old fox!!!

I've really misjudged you!

Yang Fan's eyes were about to pop out, he looked like he wanted to rub Zhu Qianlong into the floor!!!

"Alright, make it quick."

Having received Director Ni's instruction, even though Zhu Qianlong felt chilled by Yang Fan's glare, he happily dashed off.

Inside the interrogation room.

These people had no idea about what was happening outside; they were diligently going through each procedure.

Li Tian looked at the person in front of him and said helplessly, "It's your job to interrogate, but at least you could offer me a glass of water, right? I've been so busy today I haven't had a drop to drink."

"You, you... if you didn't do these things, couldn't you have drunk as much as you wanted outside?"

Someone sighed, poured Li Tian a glass of water, placed it in front of him and said, "Young man, I truly feel sorry for you. You don't look very old, what, twenty-five?"

"Then you're mistaken, I'm already over thirty, and my child is almost on the way."

Li Tian responded cheerfully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you with a beautiful family life. There's no need for this kind of behavior. Ah, it pains me to see what you've done to yourself!"

"I've already told you everything I know. You could also investigate it, right? After all, you shouldn't just believe one side's story."

Li Tian took a sip of water to moisten his throat as he spoke.

"Don't worry, someone has already gone to investigate. But coming back to the point, even if you acted heroically, you shouldn't have torn strips from someone else's coat. For that alone, I need to seriously criticize you!"

"Yes, yes, I accept your criticism!"

Li Tian knew Director Ni must have been informed about what was happening here and would come immediately, so uncovering the truth was just a matter of time.

"But as a father, if everything you say is true, I still admire you. Not everyone would help that child with more than ten people against them. Ah, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll just wait for the on-site personnel to return. I hope you haven't lied to me!"

"I definitely didn't lie to you."

Just as everyone was waiting for news, a commotion outside made two staff members frown.

"Click!"

The door to the interrogation room was opened from the outside, and upon seeing who it was, the two people stood up and asked, "Why have you come? Is there something you need us to lend a hand with?"

"No, just let the person go, this has all been a misunderstanding,"

Zhu Qianlong coughed twice and said.

"What? Those guys at the scene were that quick? It's only been a mere ten minutes!"

"Heh, it seems like you weren't lying to me. That's good for you and me!"

"???"

Zhu Qianlong's head was full of question marks. What is this???

I arrived a bit late, and you two seem to act as if you know everything. And it looks like you have a pretty good relationship with this young man?

"Let him go!"

Zhu Qianlong repeated.

Right now, he just wanted to honestly escort the person away and hand them over to Director Ni. He wanted nothing to do with what happened after that and didn't want to know, as he already had enough headaches with Yang Fan!

"Heh, didn't expect to be let out so soon,"

Li Tian stretched lazily and slowly said, "Who's here?"

"Ah?"

Zhu Qianlong was half a beat slow to react, then promptly said, "Everyone's here, everyone's here."

Everyone's here????

Hearing this, Li Tian was taken aback. Could it be that for such a trivial matter his immediate superior made a personal visit???

Damn it!

Knowing Director Ni's temper, if he hadn't handled this matter well, he would definitely have to write a self-criticism!

"This... Shall we go? They are all waiting."

Zhu Qianlong, seeing Li Tian standing there dumbfounded, tentatively asked.

"Sigh, did Director Ni say anything about me?"

"Ah? Say what?"

Zhu Qianlong asked in confusion.

"He didn't say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian's heart sank. Knowing Director Ni, he would have asked for him right after arriving and would have had a private chat with him, even if he had to endure some scolding, which was no big deal.

But now that Director Ni wasn't even asking for him, that was a big problem!

"Could it be that you and Director Ni have some connection?"

"I'm a member of his office staff; my surname is Li, you can call me Li Tian."

Li Tian shook hands with Zhu Qianlong and said, "Let's not talk about that. Have Song Yun and the others come out yet?"

"They've come out, they've come out,"

Zhu Qianlong courteously replied.

It seemed that this young fellow in front of him was no ordinary fish in the pond. At such a young age, he already had such significant accomplishments, far outstripping himself!

"Then let's get going. To tell you the truth, I was just thinking about what I would do if this misunderstanding escalated. Thankfully, it's all over now, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now, I just hope Director Ni will let me write less in my self-criticism."

"Heh, since it's a misunderstanding, there's always a moment when it's revealed,"

Zhu Qianlong teased from the side, "It's just that Director Ni is in a bit of a bad mood right now, so you won't be able to escape that review."

"Ah! I'm really annoyed!"
