Had he not specially approved mobilizing all the police force in Anchang County, we really wouldn’t have caught you this easily!” So that was the case. Li Tianyang, this old dog, had been really thorough. Liu Hun reckoned in his heart that Li had been planning to set him up for a long time. “Are you going to talk or not?!” He Jiahui asked, his face stern, as his patience was clearly wearing thin. “I’ve said everything I can say,” Liu Hun replied, with nothing more to add. He Jiahui smacked his lips and nodded, then glared at Liu Hun and said, “Since you’re not cooperating here, let’s change the scene. Maybe you’ll be willing to cooperate then!” As soon as He Jiahui finished speaking, four police officers started walking towards Liu Hun. Having been to that dark room before, Liu Hun knew all too well that once inside, one could only resist or confess; there was no third option. Watching the four officers approach, Liu Hun’s fingers had already curled into fists. This time he hadn’t informed anyone in advance. The conspiracy by Li Tianyang against him must have had guidance from someone else, perfectly orchestrated... So, it was down to his fists now. “He Bureau! He Bureau!” Suddenly, a police officer rushed in. The four officers heading towards Liu Hun also stopped in their tracks as He Jiahui impatiently asked the incoming officer, “What’s all the panic about? Just say what you need to!” “He Bureau, Director Qin is here!” the officer said immediately to He Jiahui. He Jiahui’s body jolted with surprise, not expecting the formidable woman’s arrival. He quickly shouted to the surrounding officers, “Everyone, straighten up your clothes, and welcome Director Qin!” “I’m here for the case, not for ceremony!” a slightly hoarse but resolute and steady voice of a woman rang out from the entrance. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman in her mid-thirties, clad in high-ranking police officer’s uniform, standing at the door. Her brows carried an air of authority, yet her lips bore a welcoming smile; her stature erect and her eyes spirited. Her somewhat plump face suggested the image of a high-ranking female official, and the prominent curves of her chest further accentuated her figure. Looking at Director Qin, Liu Hun was easily reminded of the mezzo-soprano singers from the military art troupe seen on TV. However, this woman obviously possessed a composed and robust aura that could intimidate the faint-hearted while simultaneously inviting those who felt powerful to challenge her. “Director Qin, why did you come personally? If you had told me in advance, I could have gone to receive you,” He Jiahui said to Director Qin with a smile, clearly one of the timid ones. In fact, he was a direct subordinate of Director Qin; without her recommendation, he would never have been able to sit in his current position. “Is this the man?” Director Qin’s gaze lingered on Liu Hun as she asked He Jiahui. Without shying away, Liu Hun met Director Qin’s gaze head-on, sensing something... extraordinary in her eyes. “Yes, yes, yes! We caught him red-handed! We were just about to conduct a more thorough interrogation,” He Jiahui said to Director Qin, bowing and nodding submissively. “Take him to my car, send him to the Public Security Department; I want to interrogate him personally. You and your men stay on standby here, waiting for my instructions,” Director Qin instructed He Jiahui before turning and walking out the door. “Yes!” He Jiahui didn’t hesitate and crisply saluted, then immediately handcuffed Liu Hun and sent him to Director Qin’s car. Watching Director Qin’s car drive away, a confidant by He Jiahui’s side spoke up, “He Bureau Chief, isn’t Director Qin afraid of taking such a dangerous criminal with her in her car?” “Hmph! Afraid? Let me tell you, even if all twenty of us went against him, we’d be the ones in trouble, let alone that kid! You think Director Qin climbed up the ranks by politicking? She could take your life with just her finger! Go back and wait by the phone for orders,” He Jiahui said to his confidant. He had seen firsthand how formidable Director Qin was and held her in the utmost reverence. Sitting in the car, Liu Hun didn’t understand what the woman driving beside him wanted. The whole situation seemed absurd to him, a suspect now branded as a drug offender being personally escorted by a female director alone. Suddenly, the female director stopped the car in a deserted area, then turned to Liu Hun and said, “Give me your hands, I’ll unlock the handcuffs.” Stunned, Liu Hun complied, and his handcuffs indeed were unlocked. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why... why are you unlocking my handcuffs?” “Because you’re not a drug offender,” the female director casually tossed the handcuffs onto the car, then extended her hand to Liu Hun and said, “Director of the Public Security Department, Qin Yishan.” “Wanbao Village, Liu Hun.” Liu Hun quickly shook hands with Qin Yishan, completely puzzled by the director’s actions. “Tell me how you got caught,” Qin Yishan asked Liu Hun. She needed to confirm some things before she knew how to proceed. Liu Hun recounted the entire incident to Qin Yishan. After hearing it, Qin Yishan let out a long sigh and said, “It seems that many people are involved in this syndicate. Our aim today was to apprehend a person of interest, to then follow the trail and eventually find evidence linked to Yang... the mastermind behind the scenes. Unfortunately, they set a trap, and you were mistakenly arrested.” “Mistaken arrest? Director Qin, how can you be so sure I’m not part of the gang?” Liu Hun questioned Qin Yishan. He had a feeling she knew things she wasn’t willing to disclose and sensed a huge criminal organization behind Li Tianyang and Yang Guang. “There are some things I can’t tell you right now,” Qin Yishan said to Liu Hun. In truth, there was much she couldn’t share with him. After much thought, Liu Hun decided to disclose what he knew to Qin Yishan. At least for now, this female director didn’t seem to be a bad person. So he said to Qin Yishan, “Director Qin, I have some information on Vice Mayor Yang Qing.” “Oh? Tell me!” Qin Yishan instantly perked up, sitting up straight and asking Liu Hun. Liu Hun detailed the specific contents of the material he controlled to Qin Yishan. Although he wasn’t certain Qin Yishan was one hundred percent trustworthy, even if she was part of Yang Qing’s faction fishing for information, she would only know the contents, not have access to the actual reliable materials. After listening, Qin Yishan nodded gravely and then said to Liu Hun, “This information is very useful, but it may not be enough to have a real impact.” “What do you mean?” Liu Hun asked, confused. The implication was that even with the Imperial Sword, they couldn’t exact justice upon the culprits. Qin Yishan explained patiently to Liu Hun, “Yang Qing has extensive connections and can be considered untouchable. Even if I personally submit these materials and go through the whole process of reporting, investigating, and collecting evidence, it would take a long time. By then, all solid evidence would have been destroyed.” “What if the Commission for Discipline Inspection takes direct control of Yang Qing?” Liu Hun questioned again, as he quite didn’t understand all the legal avenues for investigating an official. “Yang Qing is like an octopus; even if you confine his head, he can still reach out with his tentacles,” Qin Yishan commented with a sigh, telling Liu Hun that her years of experience fighting criminals taught her that a strike must be deadly, or it would lead to endless troubles. It was like trying to grasp an eel in the mud—Liu Hun, who was clueless about the depths of governmental corruption, was now getting a taste of its complexity. Suddenly, Qin Yishan looked at Liu Hun with utmost seriousness and said, “If... you could do me a favor, we could directly take down the criminal core behind Yang Qing, recover the stolen goods, and with the information you have, it would not only prove your innocence of drug offenses but also bring Yang Qing and Li Tianyang, among others, to justice!” With the head of the Public Security Department laying it out like that, Liu Hun had only three words in response, “I’m willing!” As night fell over Yuhua City, the place was wrapped in layers of seductive neon lights, especially in areas teeming with nightlife, which played on the unsettled nerves of many. In the Halo Bar’s dance floor, Liu Hun, like many young people around him, swayed his body, wrapping his arms around the enchantingly wild woman in front of him, bouncing to the DJ’s rhythm. The woman pressed almost against Liu Hun’s body, twisting like a snake with an impressive bust, a perfect S-curve, and a face that seemed to bewitch all at that moment—this woman was none other than Qin Yishan! “Do you see the door at three o’clock? The guard there switches every two hours. We need to get close to it now. It’s almost time for their shift change, a maximum of three minutes to unlock the door and then enter. Can you do that?” Qin Yishan whispered in Liu Hun’s ear. Liu Hun felt increasingly that something was off about this whole venture, not necessarily Qin Yishan, but the whole situation reeked of strangeness. “Yes!” Liu Hun said while embracing Qin Yishan, moving towards the door as they danced—it was quite the distraction to be rubbing against her, even through clothing. Fortunately, Qin Yishan was focused on the guard by the door and didn’t notice the friction below. The guard glanced at his watch, and just as it was time, he hurried to find someone to replace him. Normally, the replacement had to be called over because in such a place, no one would voluntarily leave their enjoyments to fulfill guard duty. “Now!” At Qin Yishan’s command, the two of them dashed to the door in unison.
