Chapter 203: Abandon the Cart to Save the General

Accept the investigation?

Could it be that the Police Bureau's people have come to our door?

Lin Niansheng fell to the ground and asked in surprise.

His expression quickly changed from panic to anger.

If they are from the Police Bureau.

Then there's nothing to be afraid of.

At worst, we'll fight to the bitter end—let's see who can back down!

Thinking that.

Lin Niansheng sprang up from the ground.

He brushed off the dust on his pants and strode angrily to the door.

Whoosh!

He flung the door open forcefully.

Blinding white light shone on Lin Niansheng's face.

Lin Niansheng instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes, and in his peripheral vision he saw a dozen or so stern figures standing before him.

They wore uniform black suits, many holding briefcases.

At a glance, they weren't from the Police Bureau.

Nor were they the media.

Lin Niansheng was completely dumbfounded.

Before he could react and close the door, they shoved him into the villa.

Bang.

The door was shut by them.

Lin Niansheng's heart sank to the depths.

He was flustered, not knowing what to do.

At this moment his true nature was laid bare.

He was just a cowardly, incompetent braggart.

Among the opposing crowd.

A man who looked important stepped forward and produced a document.

"Lin Niansheng, we're from the Anti-Corruption Bureau—just seeing us, you should know what's going on!"

"Don't make a futile struggle!"

"Pack up your things right away and come with us to accept the investigation!"

"You're quite familiar with this line, aren't you?"

Upon hearing that,

Lin Niansheng's head exploded with a boom.

Anti-Corruption Bureau?

Of those who have entered this damned place, how many come out safe?

At that moment, Liu Qian saw the visitors weren't the media, wrapped herself in a blanket, and walked over.

"You… what are you doing?"

Lin Niansheng turned to look at her, his eyes full of a plea for help.

The man said, "Lin Niansheng is suspected of bribery and corruption; you must come with us to undergo the Anti-Corruption Bureau's investigation."

"Hah!"

"Really, any Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to come arrest people now!"

"Go tell your Bureau Chief Wu that my husband has served in the police for years with a clean record, and he's done none of those shady deeds!"

"Tell him not to bring about his own ruin—watch out, or you'll lose your Maozi!"

Liu Qian clutched the blanket around her and said disdainfully.

Hearing her words, it seemed she bore a grudge against the Anti-Corruption Bureau chief.

The man immediately snorted coldly.

"You've got a big mouth!"

Lin Niansheng quickly glanced at Liu Qian.

Seeing her arrogant expression, he suddenly felt a bit more confident.

He suddenly straightened his back.

He gave a lopsided smile.

"You don't have the ability to drag me back for investigation!"

"Today I'll stand right here and let you try to arrest me!"

"Let's see which of you dares…"

"Take him down!"

The man cut him off without mercy.

Immediately, several figures rushed forward.

They seized Lin Niansheng with both hands, holding him fast.

Lin Niansheng roared, "You bunch of people, have you all gone mad?!"

Liu Qian's face also changed abruptly.

He rushed forward in a panic, but was shoved by the man's hand to about three meters away.

The man's expression was stern.

His tone was even more icy, chilling to the bone.

"If you dare to obstruct again, I'll call the police right away!"

"I'll charge you with obstructing official duties!"

Liu Qian heard these words.

She also couldn't help feeling a wave of fear.

Lin Niansheng was still putting up a stubborn resistance.

"Wife, quickly think of a way to save me!"

"Call Dad, quick!"

"He definitely won't ignore me!"

Too bad.

When he finished shouting those words,

He had already been locked inside the other party's vehicle.

Watching that group drive off, Liu Qian fumbled out her phone in a panic and dialed Liu Yunshen's number.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

Liu Qian anxiously said, "Dad, something big has happened—just now the Anti-Corruption Bureau came to our door and took Lin Niansheng away!"

On the other end of the line,

Liu Yunshen let out a long sigh.

"Ah..."

"He's under a full-scale investigation—who on this hotbed would dare to stick a foot in and court death?"

"Anyway, I don't have the guts to gamble my career on it!"

"Either way I can't handle it—don't get angry, hurry up and divorce him; we'll still be safe!"

"Otherwise, even we will invite great disaster!"

Upon hearing that,

Liu Qian went numb.

How did things suddenly become so serious?

Even Liu Yunshen is at a loss!

"I... I understand!"

Liu Qian hung up the phone.

She collapsed limp as if struck by five thunderbolts.

This damned good-for-nothing!

If, because of Lin Niansheng alone, they bring ruin upon the whole family,

Even as a ghost she would never let him off.

……

Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Bureau Chief Wu Jiangshan's office.

Documents piled up like mountains on the desk.

Wu Jiangshan's face was weary, the dark circles under his eyes making his whole person seem shrouded in gloom.

Knock knock knock.

With the sound of knocking.

Wu Jiangshan lifted his head; the majesty emanating from his eyes instantly swept away the gloom around him.

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open.

Before him appeared a graceful, slender figure.

This woman was the Deputy Section Chief of the Investigation Section, Zhou Wanting.

Zhou Wanting came to Wu Jiangshan's desk, standing ramrod straight; her full bust and slender waist, a handspan wide, were especially eye-catching.

But Wu Jiangshan didn't glance aside, looking at her cold, beautiful face and asking, "I want to hand Lin Nianshen over to you—I don't know if you have the guts."

The reason he asked that way is

because everyone knows that Lin Niansheng has a father-in-law who holds an important position in a provincial capital unit.

Investigating him is no easy task.

And one must also prepare mentally for possible backlash.

Not everyone can muster such courage.

All that could be seen was Zhou Wanting arrogantly lifting her chin.

She let out a light laugh.

"Bureau Chief Wu, you're overthinking it!"

"Investigating suspects of corruption is my duty!"

"Since you've made it clear, I will surely not betray your trust!"

"I will complete the task you assigned!"

With those words,

Wu Jiangshan's solemn expression eased a little.

He smiled and nodded: "Xiao Zhou, Lin Niansheng has already been sent to the interrogation room; go there now!"

Understood!

Then, Bureau Chief Wu, I'm off!

Zhou Wanting suddenly relaxed her stiff posture.

She playfully winked at Wu Jiangshan, then made a splendid turn and left the office.

A faint trace of her perfume lingered in the air.

Wu Jiangshan stood up, opened the window, and casually lit a cigarette.

"Liu Yunshen, after waiting all these years, I finally have the chance to judge you!"

This time you won't escape, even if you grew wings!

At the same time.

Inside a luxurious villa in the provincial capital.

Ding-ling-ling.

The urgent telephone ring rang.

Liu Yunshen, vexed and uneasy, answered the phone with a dark face.

"Hello."

From the phone came an oppressive voice, which said solemnly: "Things have come to this point; we can no longer control the situation; we must sacrifice the chariot to save the general."

Sigh...

I understand.

Liu Yunshen hung up the phone.

He rubbed his aching brow.
