The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 25: Case Reversal



This was the first time Song Keren showcased her decisiveness to the people at the Jiangcheng Police Station.

Almost the moment she understood the situation, the arrest warrant was signed and issued from her hand. Coincidentally, the officer sent out was Zhao Xingfeng, who had previously brought Xiao Feng to the station.

Having a basic understanding of the situation, Zhao Xingfeng immediately harbored some suspicions. Wasn't the new director trying to protect the young man he had arrested before?

After all, the words Xiao Feng said before had brought quite a bit of rumor for Song Keren, so Zhao Xingfeng's suspicions were not entirely unfounded.

Once the personnel were allocated, Zhao Xingfeng set out with the team, only to be stopped by Miao Youmin, who said, "So many elite officers going out; old Zhao, where are you trying to achieve success?"

Zhao Xingfeng laughed bitterly, "Director Miao, you're joking; it's still the same case, only with new developments. We're going to arrest a person named Zhou Dong. We'll talk specifics later; we're off to make the arrest now."

With that, Zhao Xingfeng led his officers away, unaware that as he turned around, Vice Director Miao Youmin had a look of panic in his eyes.

The truth was Miao Youmin was indeed very flustered. He didn't know what evidence Song Keren had gathered, but clearly, now was not the time to worry about that.

The pressing issue was to quickly inform Zhou Dong to flee, to prevent further complications.

With this in mind, Miao Youmin hurried back to his office, closed the door, and called Zhou Dong...

At that moment, Zhou Dong was in a hotel, scolding his subordinates. Looking at the two in front of him, heads hanging low, he couldn't contain his anger: "Damn it, can't even handle a woman. What use are you two? Are those holes under your eyebrows just for show?!"

"Boss, it's not that we're incompetent; it's just—"

As his subordinates were defending themselves, Zhou Dong's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhou Dong quickly answered, "Director Miao, what are your instructions?"

Miao Youmin's solemn voice came through, "No matter where you are now, leave Jiangcheng immediately. They are coming to arrest you. Also, if you are caught, keep your mouth shut or face the consequences."

With that, without waiting for Zhou Dong's response, the call was cut off unilaterally.

"Beep... beep..."

Listening to the tone, Zhou Dong was in complete shock. He couldn't understand why Miao Youmin suddenly told him to run, what had gone wrong?

Seeing Zhou Dong's lost expression, his subordinates exchanged glances, and one of them tentatively asked, "Boss, did Director Miao help us catch someone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dong slapped the subordinate fiercely across the face.

"Slap!"

The sound of the slap echoed sharply in the room, causing the other subordinate to shiver as if he were the one hit.

The one who actually got slapped felt a burning pain on one side of his face, his mind buzzing, left dazed.

"Get the hell out of here!" Zhou Dong shouted angrily, and the two quickly fled the room.

Alone in the room, Zhou Dong hurriedly searched for Shen Tianze's phone number.

This was now his only lifeline, and without it, his fate was uncertain.

"Hello, Young Master Shen, please save me," Zhou Dong pleaded. "Director Miao just called and said the police are here to arrest me. Please don't abandon me."

On the other end, Shen Tianze sounded equally surprised, "The police are arresting you? Don't panic; let me ask Miao Youmin first."

After the call, Zhou Dong collapsed into the sofa, overwhelmed by fear and anxiety, feeling as if his brain was about to explode from the intense emotional turmoil.

Suddenly, Zhou Dong stood up, his expression contorted with rage, "Zhang Wan, it must be that bitch Zhang Wan!"

He angrily tried to call Zhang Wan, only to find a subordinate coming in with Zhang Wan's phone moments later...

Utterly frustrated, Zhou Dong yelled, "Get out!"

It was then he remembered he had confiscated Zhang Wan's phone earlier to prevent her from contacting anyone, leaving him unable to curse her over the phone.

Now, Zhou Dong had no choice but to wait, hoping Shen Tianze could use his connections to pull him out of trouble.

At the same time, Shen Tianze had grasped the situation and, with a dark expression, said, "Song Keren, meddling with my affairs. It looks like you don't want to stay in Jiangcheng anymore."

With that, he picked up the phone on the table, attempting to use his higher connections to pressure Song Keren into revoking Zhou Dong's arrest warrant.

However, before he could dial, the door was pushed open.

Seeing who was outside, Shen Tianze quickly put the phone down and stood up, "Dad, weren't you going on an inspection today? What's brought you here?"

Shen Hongcai stepped in, speaking seriously, "I heard you've been dealing with someone named Xiao Feng recently? Leave it for now; we'll discuss it later."

"But..."

"No buts," Shen Hongcai ordered sternly, "That's settled!"

After delivering his message, Shen Hongcai left immediately, leaving no room for Shen Tianze to ask why.

This left Shen Tianze puzzled but forced him to call off all plans temporarily.

After all, Shen Tianze's connections weren't enough to sway Song Keren's decisions, and to leverage more substantial connections, he'd need his father's, Shen Hongcai's, help.

Still, Shen Tianze couldn't understand why Shen Hongcai would suddenly warn him to stop targeting Xiao Feng. Could that bumpkin actually be someone important?

Unbeknownst to Shen Tianze, that very morning, Shen Hongcai received a video clip showing a scene of entanglement with his stepdaughter.

Following the video, a message appeared: if you don't want the video to be published, keep your son in check and stop engaging with people he shouldn't...

The message both shocked and angered Shen Hongcai, but having weathered many storms, he quickly calmed down and asked his butler about Shen Tianze, learning his son had been covertly targeting someone named Xiao Feng recently.

Thus, what happened that morning transpired.

A while later, Shen Tianze sighed and called Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong was nearly driven insane waiting for the call and answered immediately, anxiously asking, "Young Master Shen, am I safe now?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Tianze replied, "Zhou Dong, I'm afraid you'll have to endure a few days of difficulty, but rest assured, I'll do my best to find a solution."

Zhou Dong's phone fell to the floor, yet he didn't seem to notice, as only one thought echoed in his mind: "It's over, everything's over..."
