Inside the police car, Qi Yun looked at the street outside the window with furrowed brows, realizing the direction the vehicle was heading didn't seem to be towards the city police bureau.

"Aren't you guys from the city bureau?"

The car was silent, no one answered him.

Qi Yun chuckled lightly, knowing it was useless to say more in this situation, so he simply leaned his head back and closed his eyes to rest.

He hadn't done anything illegal, although the other party could forcibly take him back now, once Zhang Dayong received the news, he would definitely take action.

After who knows how long, the police car turned into a street and finally drove into the courtyard of a police station.

Qi Yun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the blue and white walls and the tall iron gate, secretly becoming vigilant.

The people claimed to be from the city bureau yet brought him to a police station, this illogical arrangement seemed fishy no matter how you looked at it.

"Get out!" a policeman shouted stiffly.

Qi Yun unhurriedly tidied his collar, stepped out of the car, and followed them into the hall, entering an interrogation room.

"Sit."

Qi Yun pulled out a chair and sat down, finding the overhead fluorescent light quite dazzling and uncomfortable.

The leading cop sat opposite him, placed a few pieces of so-called evidence on the table, and pulled out a cigarette, offering it to Qi Yun: "Want a smoke?"

"I have my own." Qi Yun smiled at him, took out his own cigarette pack, and lit one.

The leading cop, seeing this, withdrew his hand and put the cigarette in his own mouth, the lighter "snap" casting a glow on the calculative look in his eyes.

"Actually, this matter can be big or small. As long as you cooperate and clarify everything, you can leave soon."

Qi Yun glanced at him, holding the cigarette between his fingers, exhaling a long plume of smoke before saying, "Sorry, Officer, I need to correct you, I am here to assist in understanding the situation, not to be investigated."

Upon hearing this, the leading cop's expression shifted unpredictably. After a moment, he stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and said, "Think it over properly."

With that said, he led another person out of the room.

Hearing the door close, Qi Yun looked at his watch, quietly awaiting the result.

...

A few hours earlier.

The man with slicked-back hair, not yet fully awake, received a report from his subordinate that the two largest shops in the bus company district had been purchased in advance, just yesterday, by a buyer named Qi Yun.

Upon hearing this, the man's drowsiness disappeared instantly, he threw off the long slender legs wrapped around him, and said sternly, "Say that again, what's the buyer's name?"

"The landlord said the buyer is called Qi Yun," the subordinate repeated.

The man's expression instantly turned grim enough to drip water, after hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed another number.

"Secretary Xia, do you have time at noon? Let's meet."

...

In the office of the New District Branch, Zhang Dayong had just returned from a meeting and noticed a message from Qi Yun on his phone, frowning slightly.

He tried to call back, but it prompted that the phone was turned off.

After thinking for a while, he found another number on his phone and dialed it.

"Captain Lu, this is Zhang Dayong."

"I want to ask if the city bureau sent someone to investigate a company called Yunqing Technology?"

"Haven't heard of it? All right, okay..."

"..."

After making several calls, Zhang Dayong finally gathered some information and immediately grabbed his coat and left the office.

...

In the police station interrogation room, there were two young officers sitting opposite Qi Yun, repeatedly asking the same questions.

"Why weren't the suggestive images on your company's official website forum discovered and removed in time?"

"According to some game players, certain character images in your company's game also carry suggestive implications. How do you explain that?"

"..."

Qi Yun was not annoyed, he answered every question they asked, providing answers that were watertight.

From the moment he stepped into this place, he already knew what the other side was planning, naturally not falling into their trap.

But after a long time, he still felt a bit tired, especially with that fluorescent light overhead making his eyes quite uncomfortable.

Coupled with the stuffiness in the room, he felt a bit dizzy, but he gritted his teeth, mustering the strength to stay alert.

Just then, the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened, and the figure he had been waiting for appeared at the door.

The newcomer was Zhang Dayong, followed by the leading cop from earlier and another middle-aged man.

Zhang Dayong's expression was stern, his gaze sharp as it swept around the room, finally landing on Qi Yun, giving him a slight nod.

Then, he turned his attention to the two young officers, his voice deep: "You two, step outside."

The two officers exchanged glances, hesitant, but seeing Zhang Dayong's sharp eyes, they stood up and silently left the interrogation room.

The leading cop stood at the door, looking a bit displeased, his gaze shifting between Zhang Dayong and Qi Yun, seemingly weighing something.

Zhang Dayong stepped up to Qi Yun and asked, "Are you alright?"

Qi Yun smiled at him: "I'm fine."

Seeing this, Zhang Dayong felt relieved, turning to look at the leading cop and the middle-aged man behind him, speaking with a stern face: "Deputy Captain Shen, Director Mao, it seems your actions do not comply with the procedure."

The middle-aged man known as Director Mao's face stiffened, his eyes flickering, stepping back with an embarrassed smile, clearly indicating 'he did it, talk to him.'
