Chen Fang stepped out the door.

Wen Mei immediately came to greet him.

Glancing at the tightly closed door, she asked with a grin, "Did you take care of it?"

Chen Fang gave her a look and quickly said, "Let's talk about serious matters."

Wen Mei stuck out her tongue and said, "Cai Xiaodong hasn't confessed."

"It's normal for him not to confess. What about other aspects, how are the preparations?"

Wen Mei said, "Everyone is ready and waiting for them to show up."

No sooner had she spoken,

than the sound of police sirens came from outside the courtyard.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said loudly, "Let's get moving, everyone. Open the door and welcome the guests."

At the entrance of Qingquan Manor,

several sedans stopped.

Followed by seven or eight police cars.

The first car's door opened, and Wen'an City Political and Legal Committee Secretary Shi Rui stepped out.

After the door of the second car opened, Wen'an City Customs Director Liu Jiayang and Zhang Zuxing also alighted one after another.

As the doors of the other police cars opened, fully armed police officers quickly formed teams, waiting for orders.

Just as Chen Fang had predicted,

in this situation, Song Yiqiang would not show himself.

He certainly didn't want to attract trouble.

The tightly shut gates of the manor creaked open.

Chen Fang suddenly appeared at the doorway, followed only by two people, one Yu Zhengchuan, and the other Gao Younan.

Shi Rui, who had been about to discuss strategies with Liu Jiayang, was also caught off guard by Chen Fang's direct approach. They both paused, then simultaneously turned to look.

"Oh, Secretary Shi and Director Liu, what brings you here?"

Chen Fang feigned surprise as he asked.

Liu Jiayang took a step forward.

He pulled out a red-headed document.

He read, "After deliberations by the Rongjiang City Customs Party Committee, Comrade Chen Fang has disregarded the law, acting recklessly and in serious violation of party discipline and state law. It has been decided to remove Chen Fang from his posts as a member and deputy director of the Wen'an City Customs Party Group, effective immediately!"

After finishing,

he took a step forward.

And handed the paper over to Chen Fang.

He said, "Comrade Chen Fang, you have been dismissed. Release the person immediately."

Chen Fang took the red-headed document, glanced at it,

and with a rip, tore it into shreds.

This action infuriated Liu Jiayang, who angrily said, "Comrade Chen Fang, you must be responsible for your actions."

Chen Fang smiled faintly and asked, "Release who? What person?"

"Stop playing dumb, is Cai Xiaodong from the Shendong Group not inside? Release him immediately!"

Zhang Zuxing stepped forward and bellowed.

Chen Fang scratched his head and said, "President Cai? Oh, you are here for President Cai. This is Mr. Cai's home; why would you ask me to release someone?"

Seeing him still making excuses,

Shi Rui could no longer hold back.

He took a step forward.

He said, "Chen Fang, I order you in my capacity as Secretary of the Wen'an City Political and Legal Committee to release him immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as these words were said,

Chen Fang's gaze turned cold as he said, "Rude? Secretary Shi, come on, show me what you've got."

"Alright, alright, alright, Chen Fang, you've got some nerve!"

Shi Rui turned around and looked at the assembled police forces, commanding, "On my order, arrest Chen Fang."

"Yes!"

No sooner had they spoken,

than a few policemen walked toward Chen Fang.

Chen Fang remained utterly composed.

He stepped back,

and Wen Mei, who had been waiting beside the wall with Jinde County's criminal police squad, quickly stepped in front of Chen Fang.

As they appeared,

the policemen halted in their tracks, seemingly unsure of what to do.

"Wen Mei? What are you doing here?"

After all, she was the Political and Legal Committee Secretary, and Wen Mei had also worked in the Public Security Bureau of the city, so Shi Rui knew her.

Wen Mei gave a faint smile and said, "Secretary Shi, I'm leading a team to carry out an official duty."

"Carrying out official duty? What official duty are you talking about? Withdraw your people immediately, or else I will remove you from your office right now."

Shi Rui said angrily.

Just then, Fan Xian slowly walked out.

Upon seeing Fan Xian,

Shi Rui was taken aback once more.

Fan Xian spoke slowly, "Secretary Shi, Wen Mei's personnel relations are currently in Jinde County. It seems not so easy for you to remove her from her position, right?"

"Fan Xian, are you too causing trouble? Do you know what you are doing?"

Shi Rui shouted.

Fan Xian replied, "Yes, we know. We're clamping down on smuggling. Is there a problem?"

"You..."

Shi Rui was momentarily speechless.

He had understood now.

No wonder Chen Fang was fearless; it turned out he had the backing of both Fan Xian and Wen Mei.

He nodded.

He said, "All right, so you want to make a scene? Then today, I'll accommodate you all. Everyone, upon my command, storm the villa!"

At Shi Rui's order,

Chen Fang shouted, "Everyone, on my command, if anyone dares to force entry, you may fire at will."

"Yes!"

Wen Mei and her people responded.

Wen Mei was the first to move.

She took her pistol from her waist and held it in her hand.

This action instantly escalated the situation.

Shi Rui was so furious he almost lost control.

He shouted, "Chen Fang, this is mass mutiny. You will be responsible for all the consequences. You have guns, do you think the city bureau doesn't have any? Moreover, how many people can your county bureau muster? Do you really think I can't break through?"

"It's not one county bureau, it's two."

As soon as Shi Rui had finished speaking,

Xu Lianyun walked through the crowd and also stood forward.

"Vice Minister Xu? You're involved in this too?"

Shi Rui said, stunned.

Xu Lianyun gave a slight smile, pointed behind her, and said, "It's not just Jinde County. The public security personnel from Changming County are also inside. Want to try a head-on collision to see who has more people, your city bureau or our county bureaus?"

Shi Rui peered through the crowd and saw into the courtyard.

It was not mere bravado.

There indeed stood a line of police officers, in total not fewer than the number he had brought.

That is to say, a frontal assault was nearly impossible.

The forces were evenly matched, neither superior nor inferior.

Shi Rui did not dare take the risk.

He could only say, "Alright, you all just wait."

Having said that, he turned around and made a phone call.

Chen Fang didn't want to waste words with him, he loudly said, "Close the gate."

With a creak,

the gates of the estate closed.

Chen Fang knew that Shi Rui was just one of the lightweight players among Cai Xiaodong's many fronts, and the bigger characters hadn't arrived yet. His purpose was simple, to force these people to reveal themselves.

"Did you catch all that?"

Chen Fang turned around and asked a young and pretty girl.

This person was indeed Lan Lv.

Lan Lv smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, several cameras are working normally, if this case really gets closed, these materials will be enough to make a documentary that will shock heaven and earth."

"Thank you."

Chen Fang patted her on the shoulder.

He casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water.

He pushed open the "interrogation room" door.

He brought the water to Cai Xiaodong and asked, "You must have seen everything that just happened, right?"

Cai Xiaodong disdainfully asked, "You think you've won? I'm curious to see how you'll withstand the pressure coming next."
