The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Old Cen, is this what you think too?"

Cui Liansheng finally couldn't hold it in and asked Cen Qingmin.

Cen Qingmin maintained a jovial demeanor and laughed, "Old Cui, young people these days aren't like us. They have their own ideas. Whether the two kids can get together ultimately depends on themselves. I think we should hold off on the engagement and let the kids decide for themselves. Let's not meddle."

This remark.

Was essentially the final response.

Cui Liansheng wasn't someone who didn't know better.

He nodded.

And said, "It seems our Qisheng has been one-sided. Let's end today's gathering here and leave."

After speaking.

He pushed his chair back with visible dissatisfaction.

As he was leading Jiang Huan and Cui Qisheng to the door.

Cui Liansheng suddenly paused.

Turned to Chen Fang and asked, "Secretary Chen, you should be assuming your role tomorrow, right? Then we'll see each other again tomorrow."

The tone of this remark was quite unfriendly.

It seemed he was sending a signal to Chen Fang.

We'll see who is the real deal in Shangqing City.

The three of them left.

Momo suddenly jumped up.

Hooked Chen Fang's arm and excitedly said, "Wow, you're with the Disciplinary Committee too, so you are colleagues with my dad, that's awesome..."

"Momo, stop fooling around!"

Cen Qingmin scolded.

Then he said to Chen Fang, "Comrade Chen Fang, the kid doesn't know any better. I'm sorry for today's incident and for getting you involved."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Chen Fang replied.

Cen Qingmin nodded.

And said, "Comrade Chen Fang, I wonder if you have some free time. If you do, can we talk?"

"Sure, but I'd like to go back to my room and take a shower first."

Chen Fang pointed to his own messy appearance and said.

Cen Qingmin nodded.

And said, "Alright, I'll wait for you in the tea room on the sixth floor."

...

Meanwhile, back with Cui Liansheng.

The three of them angrily returned to the car.

As soon as the car door was closed.

Jiang Huan angrily said to Cui Liansheng, "You...you are really useless. Your son was bullied, and you didn't say a word. I don't care, you must give an explanation for this matter, or I won't let it go..."

Cui Liansheng showed a look of impatience.

Seemingly unwilling to argue with the woman, he looked out the window with a heavy heart.

Seeing that he was ignoring her.

Jiang Huan then turned her attention to Cui Qisheng.

She tenderly wiped the water off his face and said, "Qisheng, today's trouble was all caused by Chen Fang. We can't admit defeat. The Cen family didn't refuse outright, you need to work harder to marry Momo."

"Mom...I don't want Momo, she doesn't like me at all."

Cui Qisheng said miserably as he finished his sentence.

Jiang Huan knocked on his head.

And said, "What nonsense are you talking about, whether she likes it or not doesn't matter. You know your father's situation. Right now, only being with Momo can solve this problem from the root. I'll give you half a month, no matter what you have to do, Momo must be willing to marry you. If necessary, it's not impossible to cook the rice before stealing the chicken, mom will help you..."

Saying this.

She leaned over to Cui Qisheng's ear and whispered something.

Meanwhile.

Chen Fang also came down after taking a shower.

At the entrance of a tea room on the sixth floor.

Momo was eagerly waiting.

Upon seeing Chen Fang approaching, she skipped over to him and once again linked arms with him, saying, "I'll take you to my dad."

Regarding Momo's "enthusiasm".

Chen Fang truly had no way to handle it.

However, it also showed Momo's inherent simplicity and innocence.

Perhaps in her eyes.

This kind of hooking up wasn't something bad.

"Dad, I brought him to you."

Opened the door.

Momo still clung to Chen Fang.

Cen Qingmin frowned at the sight of their intimacy.

Said, "Momo, I need to talk work with Chen Fang, you step out."

"Oh—"

Even though she was quite mournful.

Momo was still sensible and nodded.

Then, pulling a face at Chen Fang, she said, "After you're done here with Dad, I'll take you for a late-night snack, I'll be waiting downstairs for you."

Finished speaking.

She left cheerfully and eagerly.

As the door closed.

Cen Qingmin handed a cup of tea to Chen Fang and said, "Comrade Chen Fang, young women are just so thoughtless, don't mind it."

"Not at all, Momo is very charming."

Chen Fang replied.

Cen Qingmin nodded and said, "I was planning to find some time to talk to you after you settled in Longxing City, but I didn't expect to run into you like this. I won't say any pleasantries, let's get straight to business."

"Secretary Cen wants to talk about the Shangqing City 626 case, right?"

"You've heard about it?"

Cen Qingmin asked in surprise.

Chen Fang nodded.

And said, "I've heard a bit, but not much. I'm curious, isn't the 626 case a murder case? What does it have to do with the Disciplinary Committee?"

Cen Qingmin sighed slightly.

And said, "Our Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee received an anonymous report indicating that the 626 case might be related to Song Keyun, the head of the criminal investigation team at the Shangqing City Police Department."

"Ah?"

Chen Fang, who was drinking tea.

Suddenly lifted his head and looked at Cen Qingmin incredulously.

Here.

We need to focus on the 626 murder case that happened a month ago in Shangqing City.

On June 26th last month.

Xie Yizhong, the head of the Legal Division of the Zhenghuang District Branch of Shangqing City Police, reported to Political Commissar Xia Che that Qiu Feihong, one of his division's clerks, had not come to work for two days.

The division had called her several times, but all calls went unanswered, indicating her phone was turned off.

Thus.

Today the division contacted her parents.

Qiu Feihong's parents informed the unit that she had moved out to live on her own since last year.

Her parents had asked to see her apartment several times.

But Qiu Feihong refused.

Her reason was she was on a secret mission, and it was inconvenient for her parents to visit her apartment.

So.

Her parents had no idea where Qiu Feihong was.

Political Commissar Xia Che, upon hearing this, also became anxious.

Immediately issued an order for the Legal Division to quickly find her.

At the same time.

The command center received a report.

A fisherman had discovered a large, foul-smelling woven bag by the Qing River.

The Zhenghuang District Criminal Investigation Brigade rushed to the scene, retrieved the bag from the water, and found a completely naked female corpse inside.

Due to water submersion.

The body had decomposed and had become bloated, making it impossible to identify visually.

When a significant case occurs.

The District Police Department immediately activated the immediate resolution protocol.

The body was sent for forensic examination.

Simultaneously, a large-scale investigation of the area where the body was found was conducted.

A team of officers discovered a police hat 300 meters from where the body was found, on a rocky beach.

And this police hat was a female officer's hat.
