"Such matters should either be investigated by the Disciplinary Committee or by the police. In any case, it shouldn't fall to a deputy mayor like me to initiate action, especially since I have just taken office and can't mobilize many resources."

Chen Fang asked somewhat puzzled.

Fan Xian sighed deeply.

She said, "Neither of those routes is viable, as I mentioned before. Zhao Denggui has already approached the Disciplinary Committee and the police after his daughter was detained, but not only did these two units not respond to him, they even detained him as well. This indicates that both the county Disciplinary Committee and the county police are entangled in interests with the Tobacco Bureau. Otherwise, Chou Goushi wouldn't dare to be so bold and reckless. Approaching them to handle this case would be tantamount to tipping them off too soon and would yield no results."

If the Disciplinary Committee and the police can't be used, then how can we investigate?

Chen Fang was also confused in his heart.

Fan Xian saw his helplessness.

She said, "I came to ask for your help because I didn't know what to do."

Chen Fang stood up and paced around the living room for several laps.

Suddenly he said, "Chou Goushi is so audacious, not something a mere head of a Tobacco Bureau could achieve on his own. Behind him, there must be a protective umbrella, under which, very likely, lies a vast chain of interests."

Fan Xian nodded and said, "I've just arrived in Jinde County, and although I'm the top leader, I'm clueless about where to begin."

"I have a method that might draw out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Chen Fang suddenly exclaimed.

Fan Xian asked anxiously, "Are you planning to take action yourself?"

Chen Fang chuckled and replied, "As a deputy county head without investigative powers, my involvement wouldn't be very effective, but I can have someone else take action."

"Who?"

Fan Xian asked.

Chen Fang replied leisurely, "The county Political Consultative Conference."

"Are you on good terms with Chairman Zhu Liangjia of the Political Consultative Conference?"

"I don't know him at all."

"Then how can you get the county Political Consultative Conference to help you? Considering the broad implications, I guess Zhu Liangjia might not dare."

Fan Xian asked worriedly.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle Zhu Liangjia. But Sister Xian, there's something I need your help with. The former deputy director of the county police and head of the criminal police squad, Ye Wenxu, has already been dismissed and is under investigation. I want to place one of our own in this position. Before Secretary Yang left, I had already asked him for a favor, and the city bureau has agreed to release someone. Next, I need you to facilitate this."

"Okay, give me a name."

"Wen Mei, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau,"

Chen Fang said.

Fan Xian was taken aback and asked, "A woman? An old flame?"

Chen Fang chuckled and said, "Not an old flame, just share some common interests in certain areas…"

A few days later, at nine o'clock in the evening.

Royal Dynasty KTV.

In the deepest room of the venue.

Five young men sat on the sofa.

In front of them stood a nervous young girl wearing traditional dance attire, well-built and attractive, slightly emitting heat. It was clear she had just finished performing.

"Clap, what are you waiting for?"

The young man with dyed yellow hair in the middle shouted loudly.

The other four immediately started applauding.

"Little sister, come here."

The yellow-haired young man suddenly gestured to the girl.

The girl took a step forward with apparent trepidation.

The yellow-haired man pulled out a stack of money and threw it on the table.

The girl instantly panicked and quickly said, "Boss, there's no need for so much, five hundred is enough."

The yellow-haired man stood up.

He took the stack of money, pulled out five hundred, and set it aside, placing the rest separately.

With a wicked smile, he said, "This five hundred is for your performance. The rest of the money here is to buy your outfit."

The girl was stunned and replied, "Boss, I'm not selling my outfit. It's my performance costume."

"What if I insist on buying it?"

The yellow-haired man asked provocatively.

After some deliberation,

the girl nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go change and bring it to you now."

As she turned to leave,

a young man by the yellow-haired man's side quickly got up and blocked the door.

The girl was confused and panicked as she looked towards Yellow Hair.

Yellow Hair rubbed his nose, saying, "I want it now, you have to give me your clothes now."

As he spoke, the other men beside him started smirking in a lewd manner.

The girl seemed to understand what Yellow Hair meant.

It made her even more nervous.

Seeing that she wasn't moving, Yellow Hair said, "Beauty, I advise you to hurry up. I'm not a patient man. If you don't strip, then my brothers and I will have to help you."

"Boss... I... I'm still a college student. I'm just... just trying to earn some money during the winter break to pay for my tuition. I perform, but I don't sell my body,"

the girl said timidly.

Yellow Hair was taken aback and responded, "Perform but don't sell your body? I don't want your body either; I just want the clothes on it. What, you think you're too good for me?"

"No, no... really no..."

The girl repeatedly waved her hands.

Yellow Hair's face suddenly darkened as he angrily exclaimed, "If it's really no, then take off your clothes!"

The girl was startled by his sudden rage.

She stepped back a few steps but still made no move to undress.

Yellow Hair became furious.

With a wave of his hand,

all four men stood up.

They surrounded the girl...

Four big men, one covered her mouth, while the others grabbed her arms and legs, lifting her up. Yellow Hair then reached out his arm and swept all the drinks and fruit plates from the coffee table onto the floor.

Just like that,

the girl was pinned down on the coffee table.

Fear filled her eyes, and she tried to struggle, but what could a young girl do against so many big men?

Yellow Hair seemed to pull a dagger from somewhere.

Under the dim light, the blade shimmered.

The scare made the young girl too afraid to move.

She closed her eyes, tears streaming down, at that moment, she must have felt desperate.

With a ripping sound,

her bandeau was torn open by Yellow Hair.

Revealing a cute, pink bra underneath.

Yellow Hair licked his lips, showing no signs of stopping. With a light flick of his knife, the bra split in the middle.

Two not so "large" breasts appeared right before their eyes. Although small, they had the tenderness of youthiness, obviously untouched.

"Bro, I think the girl is a virgin,"

someone said excitedly.

This remark caught Yellow Hair's immense interest.

He extended his vile hand towards the girl's chest, about to make his move, but at that moment, with a click, the main lights in the room turned on.

There stood a young man at the door, looking over at them.

"Who the hell are you? Turn off the lights!"

One of Yellow Hair's underlings, upon seeing this, immediately charged towards the person at the door.

The man at the door didn't move. As the underling approached, he suddenly kicked out towards his chest. With a thud, the thug flew backward and crashed onto the coffee table, grimacing in pain.

"Yo, lad, you've got guts, daring to storm into my private room?"

Yellow Hair snorted coldly.

He told his underlings to let go of the girl.

The girl, frightened, jumped down from the coffee table.

Since her chest clothing was already ruined, she tightly covered herself with her hands.

The person at the door was none other than Chen Fang.

He took off his jacket, draped it over the girl, zipped it up for her, then patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go."

The girl looked at Chen Fang gratefully.

Just as she was about to open the door,

Yellow Hair yelled, "If you dare leave, I'm gonna have someone kill you later."

The girl's motion of opening the door abruptly halted.
