"Who reported me?"
At that moment, Hou Zhan couldn't hold back anymore.
He snatched the mobile phone from Cao Zhongyi's hand and asked.
"Report you? What about you?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Li was taken aback and asked.
Cao Zhongyi wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Hou Zhan continued to ask, "It's me, Hou Zhan. Is it that bitch Tao Lilan? Damn it, I won't let her live!"
Cao Zhongyi grabbed the mobile phone from Hou Zhan's hand.
He hastily ended the call.
At that moment.
Li Li was flabbergasted.
She could never have imagined that at this time, Cao Zhongyi was actually together with Hou Zhan.
And hearing the tone of Hou Zhan's voice...
Her mind buzzed.
Remembering what Chen Fang had just said, she finally realized that she might have caused trouble.
"Secretary Chen... Secretary Chen..."
Running into the corridor, Li Li began to shout in panic.
At this time, Chen Fang was also ending a call in another room.
He came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Li came up to him, lowered her voice, and repeated what had just happened, then asked with a somewhat plaintive look, "Did I cause trouble?"
Blaming her at this point was pointless.
Chen Fang pondered for a moment.
He asked, "When can we get the test results?"
Li Li thought for a while and said, "Generally, it only takes about four or five hours, and one hour has already passed; at most, four more hours should suffice."
Chen Fang nodded slightly.
He said, "Then we just need to hold out for four more hours. It will take Cao Zhongyi and the others about an hour and a half to get here. That means, after their arrival, there will still be two and a half hours left. It seems we must make some thorough preparations."
"How should we prepare?"
Li Li asked.
Chen Fang thought for a bit, then asked, "Li, if the higher-ups pressure you to take away your position, are you afraid?"
"Not afraid. I'm a police officer. As long as I can find out the truth, any outcome is acceptable."
Her words were clearly firm.
Chen Fang leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Li Li pondered for a moment.
She said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."
After speaking.
She hurried off.
"Secretary Chen, what about me?"
Guo Pingsheng asked.
Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "Guo, this matter doesn't concern you. Why don't you take sick leave? Once this blows over, you can come back, so it won't affect you."
Guo Pingsheng thought for a moment.
He said, "Secretary Chen, this matter does concern me. I'm a police officer too. I should also stand on the side of justice."
Hearing this.
Chen Fang patted him on the shoulder.
He said, "Guo, you're a good man..."
This side was already springing into action.
Meanwhile, in Jinning City, back in the same private room.
Chen Yuanzhong and Cao Zhongyi had already left.
Only Hou Yuanshu and Hou Zhan were left.
Suddenly.
Hou Yuanshu stood up abruptly.
He slapped Hou Zhan across the face.
He angrily demanded, "Tell me honestly, was it you who drove Sun Jiye to his death?"
Hou Zhan, holding his face, said with grievance, "I didn't tell them to die. I just had a little fun with his wife and daughter. Who would have thought they'd be so weak they'd actually go kill themselves!"
"Damn it, I kept you by my side because I was afraid you'd cause trouble, and how long did you stay out of it? Just a few days? And now you've created such a mess? Buy yourself a plane ticket and go back to your grandfather right now; I'll handle the rest."
Hou Yuanshu said this with a glower and a bristle of his mustache.
Hou Zhan complained, "Dad, I didn't kill anyone. Why should I hide? It was Chen Fang who drove my cousin away, and now it's my turn? Our Hou Family can call the wind and summon the rain in Yuanjing; how come we're being bullied by a mere director-level official here in Jiangdong Province? Would we still have any face left?"
"You have the nerve to talk about face? You've nearly lost all of the Hou Family's face. Just go if I tell you to, or else I'll break your legs!"
After saying this,
Hou Yuanshu shouted, "Adiao, get your ass in here!"
With that roar,
A young man walked in with his head lowered.
"Leader…"
Adiao said timidly.
Hou Yuanshu raised his hand, ready to slap down.
But he held back in the end.
He said, "Take Zhan back to Yuanjing right now. After this issue is resolved, I'll settle accounts with you!"
"Alright."
Adiao responded, somewhat guiltily.
Then he grabbed Hou Zhan's arm and said, "Brother Zhan, let's go."
With Adiao's dragging,
Hou Zhan was reluctantly pulled away.
Hou Yuanshu sat down in a huff.
Then,
Chen Yuanzhong and Cao Zhongyi walked in.
"Secretary Hou, don't be angry anymore. The kid is still young; it's normal for him to cause a little trouble. I'll personally take a trip to Wulan City and see if I can solve the problem,"
Cao Zhongyi stood up and said.
For him,
This was a good opportunity.
Chen Yuanzhong climbed up the ranks with the Hou Family and became the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee.
If he managed this issue well, he would become an integral part of the Hou Family, and his future would, of course, be limitless.
That's why he volunteered.
"Director Cao, I really appreciate it; it's truly humiliating for me, Hou Yuanshu."
Hou Yuanshu said, visibly annoyed.
Cao Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "Secretary Hou, you're overreacting. After all, it wasn't the young master who killed the person; it's not a big problem. I'll deal with it after a visit."
"Then I'm counting on Director Cao. I'll remember this favor after this matter is settled."
Hou Yuanshu said.
Cao Zhongyi, hearing this,
Felt secretly delighted.
With all seriousness, he said, "There's no time to waste, Secretary Hou, so I'll head out now."
"Alright."
Hou Yuanshu watched Cao Zhongyi leave in a hurry.
Then he turned to Chen Yuanzhong and said, "Yuanzhong, that kid Chen Fang is full of tricks. I'm afraid Cao Zhongyi won't be able to handle it alone. Let's also make a trip..."
One after another,
Three cars drove out.
The first one to leave was Hou Zhan's.
Slumped in the back seat, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He sat up straight.
He patted Adiao on the back and ordered, "Don't go to the airport, head to Wulan City."
"My little ancestor, going to Wulan City now is like seeking death!"
Adiao complained with resentment.
Hou Zhan snorted and said, "It's just Chen Fang. What can he do to me? Isn't he getting married tomorrow? I have to deliver a wedding gift; otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to him for caring so much about me, right?"
"But Master…"
Adiao tried to protest.
Hou Zhan knocked him on the head.
Yelling, "Master my ass, Master. Do you listen to me or to him? Hurry up, or I'll smack you…"
Adiao had no other choice.
He steered around the corner, heading towards Wulan City…
