The Magnificent Son-in-law

Song Keren left the interrogation room full of anger, heading straight to find Chu Mengting. That's her personality—when she says she'll do something, she'll do it quickly and decisively.

However, just as she reached the corridor corner, a pot-bellied middle-aged man blocked her way: "Director Song, where are you heading?"

The middle-aged man, named Miao Youmin, is the deputy director of the bureau. Originally, he was to succeed as director after the old director retired, but unexpectedly, Song Keren directly took over in Jiangcheng at this time.

This left Miao Youmin very upset, but he had no choice but to obey orders.

Because of this, their relationship is definitely not as harmonious as it appears on the surface.

Song Keren took a deep breath and replied, "I'm going to get information from the victim."

"The victim?" Miao Youmin frowned slightly; "Director Song, are you referring to the female victim raped at Zhonghao Hotel this morning?"

"Yes!"

"If that's the case, Director Song, you don't need to make another trip." Miao Youmin said indifferently, "After I understood the situation, I've already let the victim go back to rest."

"You've managed to clear things up so quickly?" Song Keren felt something was off.

Because in these kinds of cases, the victims are emotionally very unstable after being violated, and most of the time a psychological team needs to intervene first before further information can be gathered.

And carrying out these procedures, it's obviously impossible to do it in such a short time.

"The case is clear, and the criminal facts are evident; it's obviously a rape case." Miao Youmin replied with a smile, "Director Song, you haven't been here long, but in cases with such bad influences, our Jiangcheng Police Station handles them very efficiently."

Song Keren frowned and said, "The suspect's statement hasn't even been taken yet. Isn't it a bit too early to conclude?"

Though she knew saying this might attract criticism, Song Keren couldn't help but voice her objection, especially since Miao Youmin deliberately emphasized her recent arrival, which annoyed her.

"Then what do you suggest, Director Song?" Miao Youmin's tone cooled.

"Nothing in particular." Song Keren left it at that and walked towards her office.

As Miao Youmin said, she hadn't been in Jiangcheng long, so her words naturally carried less weight than his, and one wrong move could give him an upper hand.

But regardless, the way Miao Youmin hastily handled the case left Song Keren feeling there's more beneath the surface.

Little did she know, upon returning to his office, the first thing Miao Youmin did was call Shen Tianze…

Meanwhile, after leaving the police station, Chu Mengting was immediately picked up by someone sent by Zhou Dong.

About half an hour later, the car stopped outside a hotel, but it wasn't the Zhonghao Hotel.

"Why have you brought me here?" Chu Mengting asked warily.

The man in the front passenger seat turned around and chuckled, "Of course, to give you your reward. Brother Zhou will be here soon; let's wait for him in the room."

Truth be told, Chu Mengting really didn't want to have any more dealings with Zhou Dong, but she also understood that she wasn't in control now, so she had no choice but to follow the two men into the hotel.

Much to Chu Mengting's relief, after being escorted to the room, Zhou Dong's subordinates left and did nothing excessive to her.

However, this wasn't enough to give Chu Mengting peace of mind; an ominous feeling lingered around her.

In the agonizing wait, as each second passed, a knock on the door made Chu Mengting's body tremble—it's here!

With trepidation, she walked to the door. But upon opening it, she saw a woman in a server's outfit with a strikingly pretty appearance.

"Is there something you need?" Chu Mengting sighed with relief, yet also found it strange since she hadn't called for any service; why would a server come?

"Let's talk inside." The 'server' walked in without waiting for permission and closed the door behind her.

If there were hotel staff around, they would notice that the woman in uniform wasn't part of their staff.

In reality, the woman's true identity was Zhang Wan in disguise.

Upon discovering Zhou Dong's plan, she decided to take the risk to rescue this poor girl, Chu Mengting.

And for Xiao Feng, too.

"Time is tight; there's no time to explain. Let's switch clothes quickly, and you must leave the hotel immediately." Zhang Wan said fast and began to take off her uniform.

"But I don't even know who you are…" Chu Mengting frowned.

"Change while I explain." Zhang Wan was getting anxious, aware Zhou Dong might show up anytime, and she had to hurry.

Chu Mengting didn't dawdle and immediately acted according to Zhang Wan's instructions.

"Zhou Dong is my boyfriend. This time, not only won't you get the money, but Zhou Dong plans to take naked photos of you to threaten you, to keep you from speaking the truth and overturning the charges for Xiao Feng." Zhang Wan explained.

Chu Mengting was suddenly enlightened; so his name is Xiao Feng?

At this moment, she memorized this name deeply in her heart.

"What do I need to do next?" Chu Mengting asked after changing her clothes.

"The two people who brought you here are guarding the hotel entrance, so you need to go to the back kitchen and escape through another exit. Be very careful not to let them catch sight of you." Zhang Wan instructed, "And don't go home during this period. Also, it's best for your father to be transferred to another hospital. You may need to stand up to prove Xiao Feng's innocence later on."

After exchanging contact information, Chu Mengting nodded seriously, "I'll remember this!"

With that, she left the room.

Zhang Wan sat on the bed, finally breathing a sigh of relief. This was the greatest help she could offer Xiao Feng, even though doing so would anger Zhou Dong and put herself in a disadvantageous position, but she was willing.

After all, Zhang Wan couldn't stand by and watch Xiao Feng be thrown in jail without doing something.

It was a strange feeling, yet she didn't regret it at all!

Ten minutes later, the door was pushed open. Zhou Dong entered with a dumbfounded look at Zhang Wan in the room: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Wan sneered, "I heard everything you said, Zhou Dong. I can't believe you've stooped to such lows. What deep-seated hatred do you have toward Xiao Feng that you want him dead so badly?!"

"Bitch!" Zhou Dong angrily stepped forward and slapped Zhang Wan hard across her fair face. "What kind of spell did that country bumpkin Xiao Feng cast on you to have you side with him again and again?"

"Slap!"

The crisp slap echoed in the room, and Zhang Wan's cheek swelled, blood trickling down her mouth. But she stubbornly held her ground without a single scream, defiantly saying, "At least he's not as shameless as you!"
