At the same time, inside the Jiangcheng Police Station.

Song Keren sat behind the desk, resting her head on one hand, a look of utter despair on her face.

Across from her, Shi Jiaxin eagerly asked, "Keren, has that Master replied yet? When can he return to Jiangcheng?"

Song Keren finally couldn't stand it any longer, standing up she said, "Sis, it's just this one sentence, you've already asked me three hundred and five times today."

"That many?" Shi Jiaxin seemed surprised and then laughed, "Then quickly contact the Master, the waiting really is unbearable."

"I really feel like reporting to the province now and having you transferred back." Song Keren said helplessly, "You don't focus on work, just keep pestering me with this one sentence all day, my ears are about to get calluses."

"Why don't I suggest you hurry and contact the Master, give me a definite word and I won't bother you." Shi Jiaxin coaxed.

In fact, she was puzzled why Song Keren seemed to be deliberately avoiding the Master, but since she needed help, she couldn't be forceful, only using this way to force her hand.

Song Keren glanced at Shi Jiaxin, "Willing to follow, huh? Fine, I'm going on an inspection, you can come if you want. But I'll say this first, if you mention 'Master' one more time, I'll report to superiors and request your transfer out of Jiangcheng."

Have to say, Song Keren was really on the verge of going crazy, now just hearing the word 'Master' made her head buzz.

Seeing Shi Jiaxin nodding repeatedly, indicating no problem, Song Keren finally walked out of the office.

However, passing through the office area, they saw a group of people gathered, seemingly discussing something.

This situation was clearly not about discussing a case, most likely just small talk.

Song Keren initially didn't want to pay attention to these conversations, but Shi Jiaxin pulled her over, the two quietly approached the group talking.

Upon hearing the conversation content, Song Keren's brows furrowed.

As Xiao Feng's name appeared repeatedly in their discussions.

The specific matter in question was Xiao Feng beating up Duan Guotai and Duan Li in a hotel.

The police officers, unaware of the danger approaching, continued whispering among themselves.

"I said, anyone that our chief favors can't be an average person, daring to hit Duan Guotai, really badass!"

"What do you think Xiao Feng's background is? From the video, Duan Guotai and Duan Li were seriously injured. Isn't he worried about the consequences?"

"Who knows, anyway, in Jiangcheng, with our chief's backing, even reporting it won't help."

Hearing this, Song Keren noticed that her friend Shi Jiaxin's stare at her had turned odd.

Song Keren took a deep breath, suddenly spoke up, "I remember saying more than once, that Xiao Feng has nothing to do with me! Also, remember to close the door when you discuss about superiors in the future."

Finished speaking, Song Keren turned and left, leaving behind stunned policemen.

Shi Jiaxin chased after her, grabbing Song Keren, winking and saying, "Keren, it's not fair, you have a boyfriend and didn't tell me, you should let me check him out for you, aren't we best friends?"

"I'm saying this one last time, I have nothing to do with Xiao Feng!" Song Keren said word by word, feeling a sense of helplessness as if jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash her clean.

Clearly simple, why does no one believe when explained?

Shi Jiaxin persisted, "You must be hiding something, there's definitely something fishy between you and Xiao Feng!"

After that, Shi Jiaxin began analyzing, "First, in your office, the flag is signed by Xiao Feng, and now your officers are talking about it, how can there be no connection?"

"Also, Duan Guotai isn't just anyone, daring to hit him means Xiao Feng must have some background."

This reasoning seemed logical, though the conclusion about Xiao Feng's background might be wrong, it contradicted Song Keren's claim of having no relation with Xiao Feng.

"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." Song Keren said, resigning to fate, not planning to explain any further.

"It doesn't matter if I believe or not, but Duan Guotai is at least a business CEO, getting beaten up like this, and our police ignoring it, when the public opinion erupts, we'll be too passive." Shi Jiaxin frowned.

Song Keren paused in her steps, indeed this issue deserved attention.

At that moment, Deputy Director Miao Youmin walked out from his office, "Director Song, something big has happened!"

"What happened?" Song Keren asked.

Since last night's assassination attempt, Miao Youmin hadn't shown up, making Song Keren find it strange, while also heightening suspicion that he might be manipulating events behind the scenes.

Unknowingly, even Miao Youmin was surprised, as the sniper reported that Song Keren was hit, yet she turned up for work the next day, leaving him baffled.

He wanted to take this chance under the guise of reporting to closely confirm whether Song Keren was indeed unscathed.

Miao Youmin watched Song Keren's facial expressions and unusual actions as he reported, "Breaking news, real estate tycoon Duan Guotai and his son Duan Li were beaten. Although no report has been filed, the video is spreading online. I think we can't be indifferent to this."

Saying that, he handed his phone to Song Keren.

Miao Youmin stood on Song Keren's right side, noticing Song Keren using her left hand to take the phone, an unusual action...

Song Keren looked at the video contents, confirming Xiao Feng was indeed the assailant, and the beaten was Jiangcheng's famous rich second generation, Duan Li.

"Such behavior is atrocious, brazenly committing violence in broad daylight, now online comments are condemning the perpetrator." Miao Youmin declared righteously.

Song Keren frowned, opened the video comments, and discovered they were contrary to Miao Youmin's claims.

Out of over two thousand comments, the top liked ones were overwhelmingly applauding the action, saying it's satisfying!

Sure, some of these voices might be from the rich-averse, but they can't all be, right?

"Deputy Director Miao, you should check how the public perceives this." Song Keren handed the phone back.

Miao Youmin looked at it, and his face darkened as he argued, "Regardless, hitting someone is a crime, and the negative impact is real, we can't shield a criminal."

"I propose we arrest the suspect immediately!"

Song Keren coldly replied, "No one said to shield anyone, and before a court ruling, we can't determine guilt. This matter needn't concern you, Deputy Director Miao, I'll handle it personally."
