The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

The Disciplinary Committee has withdrawn, and Chen Fang is nowhere to be seen. Doesn't that mean the remaining matters are all left for me to handle?

In the interrogation room, a "Living Yama" is still detained; what should be done with this Mei Jianxue?

Release or not?

Thinking of this.

He immediately took out his phone and dialed Wu Xixin's number.

The call went through, but no one answered.

He called several times repeatedly, with the same result.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Chen Fang's phone number and couldn't directly call the Disciplinary Committee Secretary.

Realizing the seriousness of the issue, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Director Ruan, Director Ruan…"

Suddenly.

Captain of the detective squad, Li Ju, came running over, out of breath.

"What is it now?"

Ruan Ye asked.

Li Ju pointed behind him with his finger and said, "That... President Mei... President Mei is asking when the statement will be taken. If it doesn't start soon, she's going to leave…"

"Director Ruan, Director Ruan…"

Just as Li Ju finished speaking.

The voice of the office director called from behind.

He was just about to lash out.

The office director said, "Director Ruan, the phone… Secretary Tang from the City Committee is calling…"

All of a sudden.

The hair on his body stood on end.

And cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He absolutely dared not ignore Tang Guozheng's call.

He hurried back to the office gleefully.

Just picked up the receiver.

He was greeted by a torrent of abuse: "Ruan Ye, you bastard, what are you doing? Immediately release President Mei Jianxue for me, is your Dingshan County Public Security Bureau planning a rebellion? Do you believe I'll strip you of your position right now…"

"Secretary Tang, President Mei was brought in; it's unrelated to our Public Security Bureau, it was Chen…"

Still wanted to shift the blame onto Chen Fang.

But Tang Guozheng didn't want to hear his excuses at all.

Interrupted him, shouting: "I'll say it again, immediately release President Mei for me, consider this your last warning; if I have to call again, you can take off your police uniform!"

With a click.

The phone was hung up directly.

The sound of beep beep beep came through.

Ruan Ye was stunned on the spot.

After a long pause.

He lamented, "What the hell is this?"

"Director Ruan, do we release the person or not?"

Li Ju asked from behind.

Ruan Ye suddenly turned around and angrily said, "Release, definitely release; what else can we do if not? Will you take off your uniform or will I? Release her quickly."

Li Ju was also full of grievances.

The person was captured on Ruan Ye's orders.

And before they could start the interrogation, they're told to release her. Isn't this creating trouble out of nothing?

But what could he say? The man is the director, he could only obediently comply.

At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.

Mei Jianxue expressionless, stepped out gracefully.

Ruan Ye could only follow behind with a playful smile.

When they reached the doorway.

Mei Jianxue suddenly stopped, turned to Ruan Ye, and said, "Director Ruan…"

"Yes, yes, President Mei, do you have any instructions?"

"Director Ruan is in high spirits, huh? Playing games with me, is that it?"

Mei Jianxue's words once again sent Ruan Ye's heart into his throat. Of course, he knew the influence of this beautiful woman in front of him; such a sentence was undoubtedly a reprimand.

"Oh dear, President Mei, this situation has become really troublesome; the Disciplinary Committee has inexplicably withdrawn; I'm also perplexed. Please, President Mei, be more tolerant; please be more tolerant…"

Ruan Ye said apologetically.

Mei Jianxue glanced toward the main entrance.

Then slowly said, "Director Ruan, do you know why the Disciplinary Committee withdrew?"

"Ah?"

Ruan Ye was taken aback.

Mei Jianxue continued, "That Chen Fang indeed has some brains. He knows I do too, so he quietly slipped away. This is telling me that arresting me has nothing to do with the Disciplinary Committee; every grievance has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. I should find the right person, right, Director Ruan?"

Like a thorn in his back, like a bone stuck in his throat.

Ruan Ye's expression immediately froze.

He wanted to explain.

But couldn't organize a coherent explanation.

Mei Jianxue seemingly didn't want to engage him further.

She clattered down the stairs in high heels, then got into the Mercedes parked at the entrance.

The driver was a young woman.

Attractive, dressed professionally.

Seeing Mei Jianxue recline on the back seat through the rearview mirror.

She asked, "President Mei, are you alright?"

Only then did Mei Jianxue sit up straight.

Asked, "When did the people from the Disciplinary Committee leave?"

"Fifteen minutes before you came out."

After the female driver said this.

She added, "That Secretary Chen Fang left first; he even came to our car asking for directions to Wuqing Mountain, and then I told him."

"Wuqing Mountain?"

Mei Jianxue shivered slightly.

A smile suddenly appeared on her previously expressionless face.

She patted the female driver on the shoulder.

Said, "Let's go, drive to Wuqing Mountain."

In that secret estate at the foot of Wuqing Mountain.

Fang Yixiu as usual.

Sat fishing on the island in the center of the lake.

Today was sunny.

Most importantly, yesterday's cold front from the south had dispersed the heat, making the weather quite pleasant.

At this moment.

Lin Shuyue hurriedly came over from the villa and leaned over to whisper something in Fang Yixiu's ear.

Originally calm, he suddenly frowned, turned his head, and asked, "Oh? Chen Fang disappeared, and the Disciplinary Committee also withdrew?"

Lin Shuyue nodded.

Said, "Tang Guozheng directly called Ruan Ye; under pressure, Ruan Ye could only let the person go."

Fang Yixiu thought for a moment.

Smirked coldly, "I really underestimated this Chen Fang. I thought he'd surely be caught in the net, never expected him to be someone who doesn't play by the rules."

"Boss, have we startled the snake this time? There's a chance Chen Fang already knows someone set a trap, otherwise, with his personality, how could he have suddenly retreated?"

What Lin Shuyue said made sense.

Fang Yixiu nodded.

Sighed deeply.

Said, "There's no turning back once the bow is drawn. If gentle means don't work, we'll use force. Since this move didn't work, we have to change strategies. Notify our people; the follow-up plan can start."

Lin Shuyue paused.

Though hesitant.

She still complied.

After she left.

Fang Yixiu's expression also became serious.

He stared at the lake for a long time.

Muttered, "Big brother, big brother, don't blame me for not being on the right track. If I don't swallow your Jianhai Group, I won't be able to get through…"

The view then shifted back to Wuqing Mountain.

Half an hour later.

Mei Jianxue's convoy arrived at the parking lot at Wuqing Mountain.

Since it wasn't peak tourist season, there weren't many visitors.

Once the car came to a stop.

Mei Jianxue's female driver got out first, went to the trunk, and took out a bag.

Once back in the car, all the windows instantly fogged up.

Nothing could be seen from the outside about what was happening inside.

About ten minutes later.

Mei Jianxue exited the car.

But she had already changed her outfit.
