The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Oh my goodness!

Deputy Chief of the Supreme Disciplinary Inspection Group.

Upon hearing those words, Lai Liqiang's heart trembled.

He looked again at the electric baton still sparking in his hand.

Lai Liqiang wished he could just stab it into himself.

By this time, the officer had already opened the iron door.

He shivered, immediately tossing the baton away.

Then he hurried out quickly.

It only took about ten seconds.

Lai Liqiang returned again, this time holding a bottle of mineral water.

"Chen... Secretary Chen, have some water..."

His voice trembled slightly as Lai Liqiang raised the bottle with both hands, handing it to Chen Fang.

In just the time of a phone call, his attitude made a 180-degree change. From this small detail, Chen Fang knew he should be fine.

"Director Lai, what does this mean? Weren't you asking me to drink water from the floor?"

Chen Fang asked.

Lai Liqiang swallowed hard, unsure of how to explain. After mulling it over, he said in an extremely obsequious voice, "Chen... Secretary Chen, you jest. The water on the floor was... was for me, you... you drink this..."

"Go ahead, what's the matter?"

Chen Fang asked calmly.

Lai Liqiang was stunned and awkwardly recounted Tang Guozheng's phone conversation.

He wasn't the only one surprised.

Chen Fang, upon hearing the news, was also somewhat incredulous.

However, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

If expected, behind this inspection team is Shangguan Shoudong. He must have heard about Gu Mengsheng's incident and become furious.

The wrath of a dragon, sky crumbling.

On the surface, the inspection team seemed to be targeting the Lou Youhua case and Cui Liansheng case. In reality, Shangguan Shoudong intended to vent some anger for Gu Mengsheng.

Once he figured that out.

Chen Fang felt much more at ease.

"Director Lai, you weren't very friendly to me just now."

Chen Fang teased.

Lai Liqiang felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He had struggled all his life to work up to the position of Director of Municipal Public Security Bureau; now Chen Fang had the power to dismiss him with just one word, how could he not be afraid?

"Chen... Secretary Chen, I... I was wrong, I... was petty..."

His eyes landed on the pool of water on the floor.

Lai Liqiang gritted his teeth.

He said, "I... I'll lick the floor clean."

Just as he was about to squat down.

Chen Fang grabbed his collar and said coldly, "Director Lai, you're the chief of a city's police, how appropriate is it to ask you to lick water from the floor?"

As he said this.

Lai Liqiang was overjoyed.

Chen Fang's words indicated he could keep his current position.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude.

Chen Fang said sternly, "As for me, Chen Fang, enduring a little grievance is nothing. After all, I am a man."

In that sentence.

Chen Fang emphasized the word "man."

Lai Liqiang wasn't stupid.

He immediately caught the key point.

Pausing, he turned to the dumbfounded officer and said, "Get Song Keyun to my office."

The officer hurried out.

Why call Song Keyun?

Song Keyun is the head of the criminal police team of the Shangqing City Police Department.

This showed that Lai Liqiang was preparing to handle the Gu Mengsheng kidnapping case.

After all, Chen Fang emphasized that he's a man who fears no grievance, so the one who is afraid of grievances must be a woman.

Undoubtedly, in this situation, it's naturally Gu Mengsheng.

"Secretary Chen, this afternoon, there was a kidnapping incident at Wanhe Garden. I... I need to handle it immediately."

Lai Liqiang said, testing the waters.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Alright, you go ahead. Remember to come to my office tomorrow morning."

"Sure, sure, I'll be there on time tomorrow morning."

Lai Liqiang felt like he had received an amnesty and quickly left.

While jogging back to his office, he even stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Shangqing City First Renimin Hospital.

When Chen Fang arrived, it was already dark outside.

At the door of the ward.

Xiao Ye was waiting anxiously.

Seeing Chen Fang, Xiao Ye hurried over.

"How's it going?"

Chen Fang asked anxiously.

Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "The doctor said the physical wounds are not serious and have been treated. She can recover in half a month, but her mental state is very bad. She's afraid of everyone, and we're afraid to go in."

"Alright, thanks, I'll go in and take a look."

Chen Fang said.

He pushed the ward door open.

On the hospital bed.

Gu Mengsheng was resting with her eyes closed.

But judging by her expression, she wasn't sleeping peacefully. Her facial muscles twitched occasionally, and her body kept trembling, indicating she was having nightmares.

Seeing this.

Chen Fang hurried forward.

He patted the quilt and softly called, "Mengsheng, Mengsheng..."

This startled her.

Gu Mengsheng suddenly opened her eyes, gasped for air, instinctively used the quilt to cover her face, and cried out in terror, "Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, please let me go..."

At that moment.

Chen Fang felt a pang of heartache.

He gently lifted a corner of the quilt.

Gu Mengsheng's thigh was exposed.

The once tender and fair skin was covered with shocking scars.

He was instantly struck by this scene.

"Mengsheng, it's me, I'm Chen Fang..."

He suppressed his sorrow, leaned closer to Gu Mengsheng's head, and spoke in a gentle voice.

As if hit by an electric current.

Gu Mengsheng shivered.

She pulled the quilt down a bit, revealing frightened eyes, and even rubbed her eyes incredulously, then burst into tears.

Despite not wearing clothes.

She directly hugged Chen Fang's neck and sobbed, "Chen Fang, you finally came, you finally came..."

Chen Fang gently patted her back and said, "It's alright, it's alright...from now on it's alright, you're safe, don't be afraid..."

As long as she cried.

Gu Mengsheng cried the entire time.

In the end, even her tears had dried up.

Chen Fang gently placed Gu Mengsheng down.

Gu Mengsheng gripped his hand tightly, pleading, "Chen Fang, don't leave, don't leave me, I'm scared, I'm really scared..."

"I won't leave, I won't leave, I'll stay right next to you..."

In this situation, Chen Fang didn't dare relax one bit.

He could only sit by her side.

Even so, Gu Mengsheng still shrank defensively, as if facing a great enemy.

"You're very tired, how about you sleep a little?"

Chen Fang asked.

Gu Mengsheng shook her head vigorously and said, "I... I'm afraid to sleep. As soon as I fall asleep, I have nightmares, dreaming of that terrifying woman..."

Chen Fang knew this was a sign of severe mental trauma.

He comforted her, "It's okay, I'll sit right next to you and watch over you, just sleep soundly."

"I... I don't want to, I'm afraid that once I close my eyes, you'll disappear..."

Gu Mengsheng said while sobbing.
