The two public officials conducting the interrogation were panicked to this extent precisely because they were well aware of Xu Qingxue's background.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort from her haughty nose, Xu Qingxue turned and headed towards the temporary detention area. As Deputy Chief of the district, she was well aware that some of the methods used by the officers below in handling cases were not exactly honorable.

Seeing Xu Qingxue turn to leave, Xia Guifang quickly got up and followed behind her. On one hand, she was afraid that the police would continue to press her if she stayed, and it felt safer to stay behind this female chief. On the other hand, she was also worried about Wang Xiaoqiang and afraid he might be harmed.

"Hey, you..." The police officer taking the statement called out urgently as he saw Xia Guifang getting up to follow her out. By now, even a fool would realize that the situation was ominous; they had to break Xia Guifang first and prevent her from revealing the truth.

"Let her follow me." But before the officer could finish speaking, Xu Qingxue had already interrupted coldly without turning her head.

With the Deputy Chief speaking out, those junior police officers dared not utter a word of objection and could only watch helplessly as Xia Guifang followed Xu Qingxue out. The two interrogating officers, both seasoned and tactful, knew tonight's incident could lead to chaos within the precinct if mishandled.

As they watched Xu Qingxue leave, they quickly gathered their courage and dialed Director Chen's number.

Although uncertain if Director Chen could still salvage the situation, it was critical to inform him, especially since the matter also involved his beloved son.

At that moment, Chen Tianpeng was in the western district of some location, startled by the sudden ringing of his phone, his body shook.

The Deputy Director of the City Public Security Bureau, Li Youwei, was half a year away from retirement. This district deputy chief saw a chance to advance to Li Youwei's position.

However, as the capital city, River City encompassed four districts and six counties, meaning he was not the only Chief of District Public Security vying for the position of Deputy Director of the City Public Security. Rough estimation put his competitors at about a dozen. During this period, infighting among these deputy chiefs was inevitable.

If any one of them caught him indulging extravagantly one of these days, he would lose his chance in this competition, not to mention suffer even more severe consequences.

Thus, a single phone call could turn him into a startled hare.

Seeing that the call was from a seasoned officer on duty at the police station, Chen Tianpeng's heart sank, knowing nothing good was about to be communicated. However, the more it was so, the less he dared not to answer. Panting, he pressed the answer key.

After listening to the officer's description, Chen Tianpeng's heart sank into a chasm of ice.

It was a critical period, and the worst fear was indeed the occurrence of troubles, yet troubles had arisen, and it was his own son who had caused them. What was even more terrifying was that Xu Qingxue was intervening. Although Xu Qingxue was only a deputy and ranked below him, if she got hold of any damning evidence, he would be unable to suppress the matter.

Moreover, Xu Jingxue had a profound background, before whom even he had to tread carefully.

He dared not delay a moment longer.

Exactly when that seasoned officer had called Director Chen, Xu Qingxue, with a cold face, was leading Xia Guifang to the temporary detention area.

It just so happened that Chen Kai had not yet left, angered by seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, a country bumpkin, daring to act high and mighty in the police station, in his father's jurisdiction. Thus, he entered the detention area intending to warn Wang Xiaoqiang.

In this place, Chen Kai always considered himself akin to a Crown Prince, treating it as his own home, and kicked open the door without any hesitation and walked into the room, pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang on the bed and speaking with a malicious tone:

"Kid, keep acting cocky. I want to see just how long you can keep it up. The moment your girlfriend confesses, you're done for!"

"By the way, your girlfriend, she really is a beauty. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her for you, haha! Just wait for your time in jail!"

"The one who should be in jail is you!" a voice suddenly interrupted.

Hearing this, Chen Kai, initially smug, felt a surge of annoyance and turned around to yell, "Who the hell is talking?"

"Scoundrel!" Xu Qingxue stormed into the room and rebuked Chen Kai, "What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing it was Xu Qingxue, Chen Kai immediately softened, aware of his place. Although a profligate, he still had some sense. Unlike Cui Wei's group, he was not unfamiliar with this beautiful chief. He had heard about Xu Qingxue's background from his father, who often reminded him to behave himself in front of Xu Jingxue.

So, at that moment, he felt particularly nervous, stuttering, "Chief Xu, I-I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you…"

"I heard every word you just said, and I recorded it too," Xu Qingxue took out her cellphone and waved it in front of Chen Kai.

Chen Kai, the petty thug, was not enough to intimidate Xu Qingxue. He immediately believed her and shivered with fear.

Chen Kai was unclear why Xu Qingxue had arrived at this time; he didn't think she was there for Wang Xiaoqiang. Nervous, he tried to divert her attention to Wang Xiaoqiang by pointing at him and indignantly said, "Chief Xu, look at this criminal, acting all high and mighty even here."

Xu Qingxue's gaze inadvertently shifted to the bed where Wang Xiaoqiang was still lying. Scarface, the one that troubled all the officers in the substation, was obediently massaging his feet.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingxue couldn't help but smile wryly. Wang Xiaoqiang really was formidable, having even Scarface at his beck and call!

"Wang Xiaoqiang is not a criminal. If it weren't for your false accusation, he wouldn't have ended up here!" said Xu Qingxue.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kai finally understood that Xu Qingxue was indeed there for Wang Xiaoqiang. His anxiety peaked, and he stuttered, unable to speak clearly, "Chief Xu, I, I..."

"Alright, you can get out now. Wait for your interrogation," she dismissed him.

Chen Kai obediently left. When he saw Xia Gui Fang still standing outside, he suddenly understood everything and felt utterly hopeless. It seemed he was going to be doomed tonight by this mere peasant.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, sorry for the inconvenience!" Xu Qingxue approached the bed, waved her hand at Scarface, signaling him to step aside.

As she spoke, Scarface and his gang almost choked in frustration. He, he's called being inconvenienced? Then we might as well not live!

The other four prisoners, unable to help but smile wryly, were also staring at Wang Xiaoqiang with puzzled expressions, wondering what kind of influence he had to have the deputy chief come to rescue him personally.

"Little Qiang, are you alright?" Just then, Xia Gui Fang, who had been too scared to come in earlier, entered, looking worried.

Wang Xiaoqiang then got up, put on his shoes, stood up, walked over to her, and took her hand, saying, "I'm fine, Little Fang. Did they make things difficult for you?"

"They forced me to confess, but I didn't. Luckily, this director..."

Xia Gui Fang gestured towards Xu Qingxue.

Wang Xiaoqiang gave Xu Jingxue a slight smile and said, "Chief Xu, we meet again. How is Elder Xu?"

"Uh, my father is doing well." Xu Qingxue replied, then added, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Follow me to record your statements."

Subsequently, all the duty officers at the district sub-bureau were arranged by Xu Qingxue to join the investigation of this case. Under her supervision, Chen Kai and his associates were isolated for interrogation.

Most of the ordinary police officers, dressed in their uniforms, still hoped to serve as upright public servants. However, as lower-ranking staff with little influence and fearing future work and promotion retaliations, they generally disapproved of the arrogant actions of Chen Kai and the others. Now with Xu Qingxue, a deputy chief with strong backing, they no longer had these concerns.

While recording their statements, each one was serious and dutiful, not daring to slack off.

The members of the Flying Car Gang, already subdued by Xu Qingxue, and seeing the previously friendly police officers now strict and imposing, did not dare to be arrogant anymore. They honestly laid out the whole truth.

Even Chen Kai, the chief's son, thinking that Xu Qingxue had evidence against him, did not argue any further and directly admitted his wrongdoing.

It was only towards the end of recording the statements that Director Chen Tianpeng of the District Public Security finally rushed over hastily.
