Chapter 378

"Your dad died of a sudden heart attack!"

The charge of murder cannot be casually admitted; Zou Feiyun's final struggle was just glaring with both eyes and letting out this roar.

Sun Zhiqing also stopped arguing about this.

After being married to Zou Feiyun for so many years, she knew very well that he was a hypocrite who appeared refined in public but was ruthless behind the scenes.

Whoever posed a threat to him, he would eliminate without hesitation.

What's the big deal about dying father-in-law?

Wives can be eliminated just as easily!

In Sun Zhiqing's view, divorcing him was the wisest choice she had ever made in her life; saying even a word to such a hypocrite is an insult to herself.

Sun Zhiqing then turned to Lin Dongfan and said: "I surrender myself!"

These three words struck like a heavy hammer, slamming into Zou Feiyun's head, shocking him so his eyes widened and his inner fury surged!

Without waiting for Lin Dongfan's reply, Zou Feiyun coldly shouted at Sun Zhiqing: "Have you taken the wrong medicine? You haven't done anything wrong—what surrender? Prison life isn't easy!"

You think he's concerned about Sun Zhiqing?

No!

He merely realized that Sun Zhiqing had surrendered himself; it certainly wasn't to experience what prison feels like, but to seek protection from the Anti-corruption Special Task Force and to expose all the Zou family's scandals!

Come back with me?

In desperation, Zou Feiyun grabbed Sun Zhiqing's hand, trying to pull her away.

Let go!

Sun Zhiqing angrily shook twice but couldn't break free.

Lin Dongfan casually snapped his fingers, and the two bodyguards immediately pulled Zou Feiyun away, firmly restraining him so he could not struggle.

Zou Feiyun glared with both eyes and roared: "Lin Dongfan! You! Want! To! Do! What!"

"You moved my suspect, yet you ask what I intend to do?" Lin Dongfan smiled faintly: "A gentleman is open and aboveboard; only a petty person constantly worries. Aren't you a gentleman? What are you afraid of?"

Lin Dongfan! I'll curse your ancestors!!!

Once his defenses broke, Zou Feiyun, who usually posed as a gentleman, would also unleash vulgarities.

The roar thundered in his ears.

Lin Dongfan laughed, patted his shoulder, and calmly threw out: "There's still a pile of bones; as long as you can move, go ahead and fuck them."

Having said that, he couldn't be bothered to deal with the completely collapsed Zou Feiyun.

Taking Sun Zhiqing back to the Provincial Procuratorate.

That night.

Lin Dongfan arranged overtime work for the Special Task Force's Jian Sining and Zhang Xiaoguang, assigning them to interrogate Sun Zhiqing as quickly as possible to obtain a confession.

At the same time, Lin Dongfan handed the USB drive that Sun Zhiqing had turned over to Deputy Task Force Head Peng Tianhua.

He ordered Peng Tianhua to verify the account data inside the USB drive.

The next morning.

Bureau Chief Li Mingtang of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, setting aside his enthusiasm for getting rich through stock trading, took the earliest flight from Jingcheng to Wuzhou to personally oversee the arrest operation in the stalemate-breaking phase.

The meeting started at nine in the morning.

Those attending the meeting were Li Mingtang, all members of the Anti-corruption Special Task Force, plus Qi Ting from the Provincial Public Security Department and Liu Yishou from the Provincial Procuratorate.

Qi Ting and Liu Yishou were responsible for assisting the arrests.

Lin Dongfan reported at the meeting: "Last night everyone worked overtime until after two a. m.; after verification, Sun Zhiqing's main issue was using her father Sun Fucheng's and the Zou family's authority to accept others' requests, acting as an intermediary to secure positions and undertake projects for them, thereby reaping huge profits."

"How much exactly is this huge profit?" Li Mingtang asked.

Lin Dongfan looked at the documents and replied heavily: "The funds involved amount to thirty-seven million, and she has already voluntarily turned over these illicit gains."

Liu Yishou, who rarely expresses his stance,

Today he suddenly smiled and spoke up: "She is Sun Fucheng's daughter and the Zou family's daughter-in-law. With her background and resources, the case funds being only this? I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish, Lin Dongfan, whose eyes flashed like lightning, had already fixed his gaze on Liu Yishou.

That icy stare.

It scared Liu Yishou so much his heart pounded, leaving him momentarily dazed.

He thought, "What's going on?"

Before, I kept my opinions to myself and you said I had no stance; now that I'm clear‑cut and openly criticizing the Zou family's forces, could this also step on a landmine?

I just don't get it, I really don't get it.

Just to be safe, Liu Yishou stubbornly explained: "What I mean is, she's the Zou family's daughter‑in‑law; her influence in political and business circles is not to be underestimated, so people might ask her to handle many matters."

"She divorced Zou Feiyun precisely because their paths diverged and they could not collaborate." Lin Dongfan solemnly emphasized: "This time she voluntarily surrendered, handed over the accounts of the media company, and assisted our Special Task Force in striking hard; her performance of remorse and merit deserves our objective affirmation."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded in deep agreement.

Nodding is a technical skill.

It's not just a sign of approval; it's also a profound realization.

Especially Liu Yishou, who had spoken out of turn, almost regretted it to the point of wishing his intestines would turn green, regretting that he shouldn't have casually interjected with doubt.

Now even if he were more clueless, he could tell that it was possible to criticize the lawless Zou family, but he could not criticize Sun Zhiqing, who had repented and reformed, without any bottom line.

In other words, someone wants to give Sun Zhiqing a chance to survive.

Upon further thought, it's terrifying!

Liu Yishou quickly adopted a posture of lenient yet strict law enforcement: "I agree with Section Chief Lin's view. For those who actively surrender, voluntarily confess their problems, and sincerely repent and reform, we should not be too harsh; otherwise, who would still actively cooperate with our investigations in the future? In the long run, the harms outweigh the benefits. However, for those corrupt elements who refuse to stop and refuse to repent, we must investigate them thoroughly to the end, showing no leniency!"

Director Qi nodded in approval: "Prosecutor Liu is right. Where strictness is needed, be strict; where leniency is needed, be lenient. In handling cases, we must as much as possible organically unify legal reasoning and emotional reasoning, balancing intensity and warmth, striving to achieve fairness and justice. If we adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, it will surely undermine the principle of fairness and justice, leaving people feeling cold."

As for the technique of endorsement, the several bigwigs present had obviously reached a state of consummate mastery.

Li Mingtang, seated in the chief seat, seeing this, felt an indescribable mix of laughter and sigh.

Jiang Lan!

It's indeed a place that produces talent!

Those up top can casually let out a fart, but these guys down below not only can accurately grasp the wind direction, they can even come up with a scientific argument for a fart.

This time, Master Fan must feel gratified to the bone, after all, someone is praising his foul-smelling fart.

Li Mingtang couldn't help but laugh and ask: "Dongfan, what do you think the next step should be?"

"Arrest Feng Weishan and bring him to justice!"

Lin Dongfan lowered his head to look at the materials in his hand.

Zheng Di spoke up and introduced to everyone present: "Over these years, Feng Weishan has abused his authority, taking projects for Zou Feiyun to smooth things over, misusing public power! Zou Feiyun then, through the channels of his film and television company, gave Feng Weishan's wife kickbacks of wealth. Worth mentioning is that Feng Weishan's second wife, Bai Xue, is also a gift from Zou Feiyun to Feng Weishan. Feng Weishan can be said to have gained both wealth and beauty, without reservation..."

After Lin Dongfan finished his report, Li Mingtang furrowed his brows in disbelief.

Feng Weishan did not report his divorce from his former wife to the organization; the key is that he still lived with his former wife in daily life, leading outsiders to mistakenly think they were a loving couple.

Damn, they really know how to play!

Li Mingtang asked Qi Ting: "Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready; we can act at any moment." After Qi Ting finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Dongfan, silently seeming to express to Lin Dongfan his resolve to share weal and woe,

Li Mingtang made a decisive decision: "Since we're ready, let's set out. Qi Ting, you take people to arrest Zou Feiyun; you must not let him escape. Dongfan, I'll accompany you to arrest Feng Weishan."

When making the arrangements, Li Mingtang did not include Liu Yishou in the action team.

This left Liu Yishou feeling both lost and nervous.

Like sitting on pins and needles!
