On the way to the Wulan City Party Committee compound.

Yu Zhengchuan recounted the developments to him.

The whole process was almost as Chen Fang had anticipated, but the outcome was beyond his expectations.

Last night, after leaving Chen Fang's place, Xue Bo immediately reported the matter to Ji Yu.

Ji Yu put a stop to their reckless actions, believing that the situation could be handled from a different angle.

So, Xue Bo, along with the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, Pei Shanglian, knocked on the door of the courtyard where Tian Xinran was hidden, under the guise of police conducting a room check.

In this process, the police rushed in en masse and swiftly took control of the scene, thus changing the nature of the entire incident.

Meng Zheqing's side became the kidnappers.

And Xue Bo's side became the heroes who rescued the hostage.

Unfortunately, Meng Zheqing never imagined that Xue Bo would find the hiding place so quickly; he was completely unprepared, resulting in his secretary, Zheng Qiuliang, still being at the scene.

Who was also captured.

The police conducted a surprise interrogation of Zheng Qiuliang.

Unable to withstand the police's "Big Memory Recovery Technique," Zheng Qiuliang confessed that Meng Zheqing initiated the kidnapping.

Seizing the critical moment, Xue Bo decisively chose to endure short-term pain rather than long-term agony and took the opportunity to completely take down Meng Zheqing.

Just as the police were preparing to raid Meng Zheqing's home.

The command center received an emergency call from Weibi Inn, saying that Meng Zheqing was dead.

Xue Bo was greatly shocked.

He led a team to the scene immediately.

Indeed.

Meng Zheqing lay dead in the guest room, naked.

The person who killed him was none other than Jin Shijian's wife, Yan Zifang.

A political struggle had turned into a homicide, an outcome no one had foreseen at the start.

That very night, the police and the Disciplinary Committee coordinated a raid on Jin Shijian's home and arrested him; only then did the cause of Meng Zheqing's death came to light.

The circumstances of Yan Zifang being coerced could no longer be concealed.

Both Jin Shijian and Yan Zifang confessed.

This also included the entire process of extreme humiliation that Yan Zifang endured the night before.

The police worked overnight to find the cab driver who had taken fares that day, as well as eyewitnesses at Binjiang Park that evening, to confirm the process of Yan Zifang being humiliated.

As for the death of Meng Zheqing, it was entirely his own doing.

According to the agreement, Yan Zifang only had to accompany Meng Zheqing once every weekend.

But that evening,

Jin Shijian received a call from Meng Zheqing.

Asking for his wife to visit Weibi Inn once more.

Although Jin Shijian was furious, he dared not disobey, so Yan Zifang went once again to that place of humiliation.

Perhaps Meng Zheqing hadn't been satisfied with his perverse antics the night before; he called Yan Zifang over again, preparing even more "entertainment" for her.

According to Yan Zifang's statement.

That night, Meng Zheqing had her walk out of Weibi Inn's door naked, led her by the neck with a collar in the dark, and made her squat and urinate whenever someone approached.

That wasn't all.

They encountered a homeless man on the street.

Meng Zheqing actually forced Yan Zifang to have intercourse with the homeless man on the spot.

Naturally, Yan Zifang was unwilling and firmly refused.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the room, Meng Zheqing spread her legs apart and tied her to a chair, then fetched cucumbers, eggplants, and even empty beer bottles from the kitchen and forcibly stuffed them into Yan Zifang's body. While violating her, he also warned her that if she disobeyed his commands next time, she would suffer even more severe punishment.

She was tortured in such a perverted way several times.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Zifang finally broke down emotionally. After the "torture" had ended and Meng Zheqing attempted to have intercourse with her again, she stabbed him to death with a fruit knife from the room.

And that was the entire course of events.

The police conducted a thorough investigation at the scene and indeed found the cucumbers, eggplants, and other items Yan Zifang had mentioned.

Through testing samples taken from these items,

They indeed confirmed Yan Zifang's account.

In other words, the truth behind Meng Zheqing's death had been completely uncovered in just one night.

When Chen Fang arrived at the Municipal Party Committee compound,

Leaders from other departments had already gathered one after another.

After he entered Ling Li's office, she stood up in panic and asked, "Does Meng Zheqing's death have anything to do with you?"

Chen Fang shook his head and replied, "No."

Ling Li let out a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me to death. I thought this was part of your plan too. Thank goodness it's not, thank goodness..."

"What's the situation now?"

Chen Fang inquired.

Ling Li shook her head and answered, "Still don't know. Right after the incident last night, Xu Jianfeng rushed to Wulan City to report. Wulan City held an emergency committee meeting overnight to discuss it, and now Xu Jianfeng is on his way back. He should arrive in about half an hour, and we should have the results then."

"There's something fishy about this incident,"

Chen Fang said, furrowing his brows.

Ling Li was taken aback and asked, "Fishy? What's fishy about it? Yan Zifang's testimony has all been verified."

"I know,"

Chen Fang nodded.

And continued, "Hasn't anyone been curious about how Meng Zheqing obtained the evidence of Jin Shijian's corruption, bribery, and abuse of power? And in Meng Zheqing's home, they found an investigative report, which he used to blackmail Jin Shijian and his wife. So who provided that report?"

"Maybe he collected it himself, it's not necessarily given by someone else."

Ling Li suggested.

Chen Fang shook his head and asserted, "Meng Zheqing was a very arrogant man, whose target was always fixed on Xue Bo. Jin Shijian's role within Xue Bo's system couldn't compare to Guo Wensheng's. Even if someone wanted to sever Xue Bo's arm, Guo Wensheng would have been a bigger target. Besides, after obtaining that report, Meng Zheqing didn't do anything but use it to force Yan Zifang to have relations with him, satisfying his perverted desires, and that was it."

"What are you trying to say?"

As Ling Li listened, she became more confused.

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

He then said, "I believe that Jin Shijian was deliberately chosen for a reason: first, he is one of Xue Bo's people; second, he has a beautiful wife."

Ling Li shuddered at the realization.

She said, "I understand what you're saying. Someone always knew about Meng Zheqing's perverted nature, so they deliberately sent Yan Zifang to be defiled by him, right?"

Chen Fang nodded and explained, "Not just for that reason. Another pre-condition is that this man is Jin Shijian, who is widely known to be Xue Bo's man, and moreover, the timing of the incident is too coincidental, happening precisely on the same night Xue Bo made a move on Meng Zheqing. If you were Lin Duangxiong, who would you think caused Meng Zheqing's death?"

Ling Li was startled,

And blurted out, "Xue Bo!"

Chen Fang nodded in agreement and added, "Right, Lin Duangxiong would definitely think it was Xue Bo. Think about it. That same night, Xue Bo accused Meng Zheqing of kidnapping, and then Meng Zheqing was killed by Jin Shijian's wife. If I were Lin Duangxiong, I would never believe in such coincidences..."

After hearing Chen Fang's analysis,

Ling Li gasped, suddenly realizing something.

She said, "What you said could very well be the truth."

"Why do you say that?"

Chen Fang asked.
