"Hey? Chief Su, where are you now?" Zhao Yu was making a call while on the toilet near the cafeteria of the police station. "Can you tell me what happened in our branch?"
"I’m at a provincial meeting, Little Zhao. I’m not in Qinshan!" Su Yang spoke loudly. "Let me tell you, you did a great job. After you made a mess at Rongtian Corporation, we found evidence and we joined forces with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate the corrupt officers! Now there is unambiguous evidence. Hey! This was so well done! Little Zhao, don’t you worry, there may not be cash reward, but there’s definitely a provincial recognition award."
"I’m not talking about that." Zhao Yu asked again, "Bureau Chief Zhou was transferred and replaced by another person. It was so sudden. Do you know about this?"
"What are you talking about? You don’t need to tell me everything that happens in your branch!" Su Yang laughed. "How would I know?"
"Then please check for me." Zhao Yu pleaded, "This is unusual, I need to know the truth!"
"Alright, alright!" Su Yang said, "I have to attend a trial in the afternoon. I’ll ask around when it’s done!"
"Okay! Thanks bro!" Zhao Yu hung up the phone and still felt uneasy. Before he has called Su Yang, he had actually called Bureau Chief Liao Jingxian about the situation, but he did not pick up. So he had no choice but to ask for help from Su Yang.
Zhao Yu left the bathroom and went to the corner of the cafeteria. Zhang Jingfeng, Liang Huan, Miao Ying, and the others were sitting with lunch boxes in front of them, but no one felt like eating.
"There’s no way around it." Zhang Yaohui waved and said, "Captain Liu came to take the video personally, but I could not refuse. Now that he took it away, we can’t continue investigating!"
"But, it seemed…" Li Beini crossed her arms and said, "What this new bureau chief said earlier sounds reasonable. I guess what Team Leader Qu was investigating was a big deal. The higher-ups were worried that we couldn’t handle it so they stopped us from getting involved!"
"But….whatever he said…do you believe it?" Liang Huan said, "What if this is part of a bigger conspiracy? This Tang Zhaolong was sent here to suppress this, saying that there would be other arrangements. What if that was all an excuse?"
"Yes!" Zhang Jingfeng agreed. "What will happen to Hou Meng? If they do not reinvestigate, this guy will be given the death penalty!"
"And I don’t understand," Liang Huan said, "if the higher-ups intended to suppress this, why not tell Bureau Chief Zhou to do so? Bureau Chief Zhou was our senior leader. Wouldn’t that be easier? What’s the need to replace him?"
"It is quite odd!" Li Beini pouted. "But who can tell me what happened to Bureau Chief Zhou?"
"I-I…" Just when Li Beini finished asking, Miao Ying said nervously, "I heard some news!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yu recalled that Miao Ying’s mother was someone powerful. It seemed that Miao Ying had asked for her help.
"Team Leader Miao, you know something? Why stop there? Tell us!" Li Beini urged.
"He was…taken by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!" Miao Ying said. "Bureau Chief Zhou and his wife were arrested!"
"Huh?!" Everyone was shocked and asked why.
"I don’t know, but if he was caught by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, it must be regarding disciplinary issues!" Miao Ying shook her head.
"It can’t be. Bureau Chief Zhou was going against the rules?" Zhang Jingfeng was surprised. "According to what I know, he was quite clean. What rules could he have broken?"
"Definitely something fishy!" Liang Huan said. "Even his job title was stripped away. It’s not a small matter and might already be definite."
"Team Leader Miao! Zhao Yu!" Zhang Yaohui asked softly, "The bureau chief has been replaced, the evidence has been taken away, the higher-ups’ attitude regarding this, we…"
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other. Although they only shared eye contact for a moment, they came to a common ground.
Miao Ying spoke first. "This is really odd. I think we should look into this thoroughly! If Tang Zhaolong did not lie, we will leave this aside and let the professionals handle it. But if he was just brushing us off, we will not let this slip!"
"Okay!" The teammates agreed.
Suddenly, looking at Miao Ying being so determined, Zhao Yu could not help but be moved! He knew that Miao Ying was respectable and hated evil as anybody hated their enemy. Miao Ying did not know Qu Ping personally, but she would take on the risk and keep going without hesitation. Zhao Yu admired her attitude!
At the beginning, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying were thinking the same thing: wait and see how it goes. Depending on how the story progressed, they would take action accordingly. But when Zhao Yu finished lunch and returned to the office, he was furious! Everything he had worked on overnight had been ruined!!! The writings on the whiteboard were erased, and the information on the board was torn down and torn to pieces! Zhao Yu was furious. He clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles crackled.
Li Beini saw that the computer screen was on and immediately ran toward the computer. She realized that all the information about Qu Ping’s Case had been deleted! "It’s gone, bro! It’s gone!" Li Beini told Zhao Yu. "The information was deleted!"
"Who?!" Zhao Yu yelled, "Who did it?!" The colleagues in the office knew about Zhao Yu’s temper. They went silent. At the same time, Zhang Jingfeng and Liang Huan realized that their computers had also been meddled with. They shook their heads at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was raging and slammed his fist on the glass desk. The glass shattered and the others were shocked.
"Quick, tell me! Who did it!" Zhao Yu roared again. He walked towards Liu Xueshan when no one answered.
Liu Xueshan was taken aback and pointed at the door saying, "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! That’s captain Liu."
"F*ck!" It was that bastard!! Zhao Yu looked down and saw a wooden flower rack. He took it and slammed it on the window. The flower rack was broken and he was left with a wooden stick! Zhao Yu held the wooden stick and walked out of the office.
"No way! No way!" Zhang Jingfeng and Liang Huan knew that Zhao Yu was furious and tried to stop him. "Little Zhao, calm down. Calm down! You listen to us first."
"Bro! Don’t be silly, I beg you!" Li Beini was frightened to death and quickly joined forces with the others to stop him.
At that very moment, Zhao Yu was burning with rage and dying to go to the captain’s office to negotiate with Liu Changhu. But the current Zhao Yu was not the same Zhao Yu who first worked at the police station. He took a few big steps and suddenly recalled something.
"No way! That’s not right!" he thought. He suddenly realized that perhaps Liu Changhu had done this for another reason. "Is it that…he’s trying to make me furious so that he can trick me?" He stopped and calmed down. "Definitely!" he realized.
Zhao Yu knew that if he used the wooden stick and whacked Liu Changhu, he would feel better. But his career would end there! So in order to take revenge on Liu Changhu, he had to figure out something appropriate. He took a deep breath and picked something suitable from the System Device to deal with Liu Changhu. But at the same time, an accident happened!
Suddenly, he heard Liu Changhu’s roar from Team B’s office, "Miao Ying, you are crazy! I was working under orders—" Liu Changhu was cut off when a slap followed by Liu Changhu’s groan. "Ugh…"
"Team Leader! Don’t!" Then, Zhang Yaohui and Xiaoliu’s screams followed. The room was noisy and chaotic.
"Huh? What is going on?" Zhao Yu wondered. With strong curiosity, Zhao Yu went into the room and he saw Liu Changhu run towards him as he clutched his head, which had blood flowing out.
"What the?! This," he began to think. Zhao Yu was puzzled and as he thought to himself, "I haven’t even got on the bandwagon. Who went on first?" But when he saw Liu Changhu walking towards him, he naturally put his foot out.
Liu Changhu was too excited and did not notice Zhao Yu. He fell down on all fours at the door of Team B!
"Aiya!" Zhao Yu pretended to be scared and stepped onto Liu Changhu’s back. "Scared the hell out of me! What is going on? Hey? Who’s underneath my foot? Such shameful person!"
Zhao Yu had yet to finish when he heard Mao Wei groan, "Miao Ying, what are you doing? How can you beat people up? We are following orders, you can’t—Ah!"
Followed by Mao Wei’s groan, Zhao Yu saw someone flying towards him. He quickly moved to the side! Mao Wei landed right on top of Liu Changhu!
"Ugh…" the two of them groaned simultaneously.
